Overview
Although 2024 brought numerous moments to celebrate, the year concluded on a sombre note. On
15 December, the Parish w8s informed that ourvicarwas being suspended following complaints
made to the Dioc8S8 which theywere investigating.
Itwas a sad endingto the year p8rticu18rly as the year had been characterized by steady growth in
congregant numbers as we remained committed to faithfully serving the Christian community Within
the parish.
Our regular weekly services included:
The 8:30 service at St Paul's.
The 10:30 service at St Peter's.
The"Overflow service on thefirst Sunday of each month.
A Wednesday morning communion service. Special services were also held during Easter
8nd Christmas.
Children's and young people's ministriesflourished, with regu18rteachingsessions on most
Sundays at St Peter's, alongside a Summer Hollday Club, an after-school club, and other occasional
events.
Our connection with the wider community strengthened through our community Café, Next Door
Hextable, and the pastor81 work of our Vicar. Both the main Church building and the new community
rooms at NDH remained in consistent use, frequently booked by various community and external
groups.
Forthe first time in several ye8rs, a highly successfulsummer Fun Day was organiz8d for th8 Ioc81
community.
There were eleven funerals, four weddings and 19 baptlsms.
Flnanclal Progress and Achlevements
The annual accounts are available for inspection.
In 2023, significant progress was made in reducing the building fund loans forthe annexlNDH, with
the outstanding debt decreasingfrom £217,000 to £72,500. Plans for 2024 included repaying an
additional £45,000 toward these loans while simultaneously covering regular expenses such as
staffing, new initiatives, rising utility Costs, and maintenance of the church's buildingfabric.
Th8 PCC successfullyfulfilled its plan, repaying £44,989 along with £703 in interest. This resulted in
a loan reduction of £44,286. leaving an outstanding balance of £28,214 at year-end.
This achievement was made possible through th8 consistent and faithful giving ofthe church
congregation.
Page 4

Duringthe year both churches in the Parish reached and served more people than ever in recent past.
This has been achieved not just through our weekly services but significantly through special
occasions such as Easter, Christmas, occasional services {Christenings, Weddings and funerals),
children work both in the church and local schools, the pastoral work of our vicar and the ministry of
the community café,'Next Door Hextable,.
Working Groups, Commlttees, and Teams
The church and charity rules allow forthe appointment of working groups-referred to as "teams"
These teams may co-opt members from beyond the PCC. All teams report to the PCC, which retains
legal responsibility for decision-making and direction. Additionally, the Incumbent (Vicar} is required
to be an ex-off icio member.

It is proposed that new teams be established to lead work in additional areas over time.
In addition to these 8ppointed teams, which have in addltion a visionary mandate, many other
valuable non-decision-making working groups exist within the church. These groups undertake and
oordinate a variety of essential activities, for which the PCC remains deeply grateful.
Staff Ing and Volunteer8
From 1 Aprll 2024, the PCC appointed Ashley Summerhayes on a staff contract as Worship Leader,
and he also assumed some caretakingdutl8S.
The PCC extends its heartfelt thanks to all the volunteers who have generously given their timeto
serve the church at St Paul's and St Peter's in various capacities, including ro18S Wlthin the café. We
are truly blessed with an exceptional team of staff and volunteers who contribute in leadership,
worship, outreach. administration, and in countless'unseen, yet essential activities.
The church could not function withoutthe collective efforts of the entire body working together, and
for this, the PCC are profoundly grateful.
Seniors, Mlnlstry
The PCC continues to viewthe absence of a dedicated leaderfor seniors, ministry as a concern.
However. steps have been taken to address some of the needs of older members of the
congregation. inclLJding the establishment of new daytime Life Groups. These groups h8ve been
designed to accommodate 8 variety of needs. includingthose specific to seniors.

Safeguarding
The PCC are responsible for ensuring compliance with national safegu8rding requirements for
charities and organisations workingwith children and adults at risk, as well as those outlined bythe
Church of England and the Diocese. The Parish has a Parish Safeguarding Off icer IPSO), and
safeguardingteam. Together, they review, monitor. and develop policies and best practices forthe
PCC. Their efforts ensure, as far as possible. safer recruitment practiC8s, effective safeguarding
protocols. and appropriate responses when concerns are raised.
The PCC confirms that it complies with section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure
2016. This duty involves adheringto the House of Bishops, guidance on safeguarding children and
vulnerable adults. We are pleased to confirm our unwavering commitmentto following both
government 8nd Church of England safeguarding practice requirements. While we recognize the
importance of remaining vigilant, we believe our current procedures place us in a strong position.
Mission
The PCC remains committed to supporting mission efforts financi811y, over and above the parish
share 8 sum contributed to the Diocese. However, due to financial constraints during the year, it
was not possible to provide 8dditionalfunds for mission in 2024. The PCC is optimistic that
available resources will allowfor further contributions to mission in the comingyear.
Financlal Revlew & Going Concern
Receipts on unrestricted funds were £260,986, of which £163,846 was unrestricted voluntary
donations, a further £18,799 from Gift Aid and £78,341 from other sources. Restricted donations of
£988 were also received and are detailed in the Financi81 Statements.
It is PCC policyto try to maintain a balance on unr8Stricted funds which equates to 8t least three
months unrestricted payments. This Is equivalent to £30.000. It is held to Smooth out fluctuations in
cash flow and to meet emergencies. The cash balance of £1,579 held on unrestricted funds at
the year-end was below thls thls target and this is due to the repayment of buildingfund loans,
however the PCC expectto rebuild cash reserves in 2025 and beyond.
Going Concern
These financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis which is depend8nt on the
continued support of the PCC creditors. At 31 December 2024 the charity had a balance sheet
deficit of £13,309, which included loans repayable of £28,214. The trustees have 8 reasonable
expectation that the charity will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future
assuming the continued provision of currentfunding levels, bankfacility and support of the
creditors.
Conclusions relating to the going concern assumption- future performance of the charity
The charity has incurred a surplus in 2024, and the trustees continue to develop new strategies to
improvethe performance of the charity and are confident that the performance in 2025 will reduce
the balance sheet deficit. The church continues to pay its staff and meet regu18r costs as well as pay
the loan instalments, while not undertaking any more projects until the reserves build up again.
Page 6

Conclusion
Having reviewed the management accounts, budgets and projections of the charity and havingtaken
into account the current and forecast performance and availability of finance and support
of creditors. the trustees believe they have reasonable grounds for statingthat the charity has
adequate resources to continue in operational existence forthe foresee8ble future and that it is
appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.
Building malntenance at St Peter's and St Paul's
The general maintenance and fabric are considered as a standard item at each PCC meeting.
There were no major works or necessary major maintenance at either St Paul's or St Peter's during
2024, although routine maintenance was noted as required and acted upon when possible.
The recording of and arranging for necessary malntenance work is carried out through the Fabric
Advisory Commlttee.
Next Door Hextable- Café
The Café operates as a Communlty Inter8St Company and under the direction of the PCC.
Staff and volunteers are the responsibility of the Company, though a resources-sharing agreement
exists between the Company and the PCC to foster collaboration. Profits are covenanted to the
PCC, but church funds are protected from any losses
The café continues to thrive and remains very popular. It operates from Mond8yto Saturday, with
addition8l events held occasionally. Accounts for 2024 are 8V8ilable
The café's profitability has allowed itto pay a rent to the Church while also meeting its other
commitments.
The NDH Directors, no doubt ech08d bythe PCC, wish to express immense gratitude to the staff and
the many volunteers who have helped make the café such a success.
The Directors appointed by the PCC for 2024 were:
Martin Andrews (Chair, resigned September 20241
David Pearson (Company Secretary)
Johnny Douglas
Sue Haward
Rachel Wallis
John Wlgglnton (appointed October 20241.
Mlsslonal and Community Use
In addition to serving as a community hub, the café plays a key role in church mission. Various
church activities alreadytake place within the café space, including:
Early morning prayer sessions.
Monday Bible study
Youth meetings and Youth Alpha courses.
Page 7

Addition81ly, numerous initiatives have been developed, such as occasional'sunday Specials" and
various "pop-up" events, which have been in operation since the café's opening The PCC is
committed to furthering any ideas that might increase its use for missional events and to develop
further links with the community.
St Paul's CofE School
Two members of the St Peters congregation served as Governors throughout 2024, fostering strong
connections with the school. Ourvicar maintained regular meetings with the Executive Head and
other staff, ensuring consistent communication and collaboration. Our children worker actively
participated in the weekly school assemblies held atthe church and contributed to other school
lessons, strengthening ties between the church and the school community.
In addition, regular coordinatlon and planning meetings involving st Paul's Church, Swanleyvillage,
the school, and the residents, association were held.
The pcc gre8tly values the close and cooperative relationship we share with St Paul's CofE School,
as well as the distinct but equally meaningful connection with Hextable Primary School.
Deanery and Diocese
Two members of the PCC are on the Deanery Synod. ensuring the parish's active partlcipation in
local church affairs. Additionally, one member and our vicar serve as Deanery representatives on
the Diocesan Synod, providing a vital link between the PCC and the wider structures of the church.
FUTURE AIMS
The PCC is committed to the development in the Parish and wider community of spiritual leadership
and witness. The PCC want to continue to grow healthy leaders and flourishing teams, increasing the
resources to extend th8 mission of the church to our communities. The PCC are encouraged by the
developments In relation to our workwith children, youth, and families, and the continuing use of the
rooms in the annex and the popularity of the café. The PCC acknowledge that growth and
development requires more than just sufficient finances but also the need for yet more volunteers to
assist, as well as a seniors. lead and others to develop our ministry with older people. Consideration
will need to be given to the possibility of appointing a caretaker to care for and partly supervise the
"Church Estate" at Peter's and St. Paul's and Next Door Hextable.
The PCC look forward to welcoming people from across our community and to seeingthe centre and
the c8fé become a p8rlsh meeting point, where we as church can more effectlV8ly reach and meet
needs in our communities of Hextable and Swanley Village. We want the NDH centre and both
churches to be places where people feel'at home,, are valued, accepted and thrive together.
