Structure, Governance and Management
The Parochial Church Council (PCC)
Bishop Hannington Memorial Church (BH) is the Parish Church for the Ecclesiastical Parish of Bishop Hannington Memorial in the City of Brighton and Hove. The Parish is a charity registered with the Charity Commission and has the registration number 1130527. The members of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) are its trustees. The PCC, which is the local representative body in the government of the Church of England, is a corporation sole and its governing instrument is the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure (1956) (as amended) and the Church Representation Rules. This report incorporates two other churches within the parish: Holy Cross and Goldstone.
The Vicar, Assistant Clergy, Churchwardens, Holy Cross Wardens and members of the Deanery, Diocesan, or General Synods are ex officio members. Other members are elected or appointed in accordance with the Church Representation Rules including nine members of the laity who are elected by members at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM). Church members are encouraged to stand for election to the PCC and we try to ensure a balance of skills and experience where possible. In addition, up to two others can be co-opted to membership. One of these co-opted member’s places is reserved for a representative of the Goldstone Church.
During the year of 2022, the following served as members of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) and were trustees of the charity:
Chairman:
The Rev Canon P Moon until 6[th] February and Rev Dr Nick Tucker from 5[th] September

*Elected May 2022, Ω Deceased.
The Annual Parochial Council Meeting was held on 8[th] May. Each of the three churches in the Parish has a Committee which function as sub-committees of the PCC. A key aspect of Governance is the agreement of their Terms of Reference which are agreed by the PCC at their first meeting after the APCM each year and which detail the limits of expenditure that can be authorised by those Bodies and describe any matters that are reserved to the PCC. This allows the PCC to focus on Parish and wider Church issues.
The Bishop Hannington Committee consists of the elected members to the PCC who consider BH as their church, BH church Clergy, Churchwardens, Treasurer and the Church Operations Manager(s) in attendance.
The Holy Cross Church Committee consists of the Minister, up to two deputy wardens if elected by Holy Cross (none from April 2022), any diocesan or deanery synod representatives who worship at the church, up to eight elected members and one member appointed by the PCC.
The Goldstone Church is led by a leadership team that consists of the Minister and up to six Elders. They work with a team of Leaders who are made up of the coordinators of the main ministries in the church, and a representative from the PCC.
The PCC is responsible for a wide range of matters affecting the parish, including compliance with health and safety, disability and child protection legislation. In their capacity as trustees, members of the PCC are responsible for the stewardship of funds and for the appropriate accounting and reporting of the parish finances. The PCC works to ensure that each member of the committee is equipped to fulfil his or her role. New members of the PCC are invited to discuss their role and responsibilities at an introductory meeting held after the APCM each year. The PCC Secretary and Treasurer are elected at the first PCC meeting after the APCM. Regular mailings from the Diocese keep these officers up to date with changes in church regulations and financial procedures and these are reported to the whole PCC as appropriate.
The PCC has appointed a Safeguarding Officer and a Vulnerable Adults Safeguarding Representative who are responsible for ensuring that a Disclosure and Barring Service search is conducted on all those who work with children and vulnerable adults in the church.
The standing committee is the only committee required by law. It consists of the Vicar, Churchwardens, Treasurer, and two appointed PCC members with the Curate and Church Operations Manager(s) in attendance. It has the power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to directions
5 | P a g e
given by the full PCC. It also oversees the general financial situation of the work of the parish by monitoring income and expenditure, establishing and reviewing appropriate financial controls, preparing budgets, and other financial statements, and recommending to the PCC any extraordinary expenditure.
The full PCC met four further times during the year for normal business. The Standing Committee met four times in the year and agreed a number of items by email.
The Rev Phil Moon had announced towards the end of 2021 that he would be retiring on 6[th] February after more than 17 years of faithful service to Bishop Hannington. We would like to record our grateful thanks to God for him, his wife Anna and their family, for the full part that they played in serving the church family. The PCC had met towards the end of 2021 to draft the parish profile and person specification, and then a further twice early in 2022 with the Section 11 meeting being held on 7[th] February. Interviews were held in April and an announcement made to the church on Sunday 22[nd] May that the Rev Dr Nick Tucker, then currently serving in Edgbaston, had accepted the invitation to become the vicar of Bishop Hannington parish. Nick and his family moved to Hove in August and his licensing service took place on 5[th] September 2022 with the Bishop of Chichester officiating. We thank God for this appointment and look forward to a long and fruitful ministry under Nick. We record our grateful thanks to the Rev Ben Martin for the extra work that he took on during the vacancy and for the gracious way in which he carried the extra responsibilities, and to the Bishop and patrons for their assistance during the appointment process.
The PCC had passed a motion in 2021 relating to the Living in Love and Faith discussions (LLF) taking place nationally in the Church of England as follows: ‘‘We recognise the deep and profound pastoral issues involved in the Living in Love and Faith process, and the fundamental need to love our fellow human beings. This PCC firmly wishes the Church of England General Synod to reaffirm its commitment to the authority of the Bible, (and therefore to the fact that salvation is offered irrespective of race, gender or sexuality), and to historically orthodox doctrine and practice within the Church of England in relation to the areas of identity, gender and sexual activity, and to clearly reject all attempts to revise Church of England doctrine and practice in these areas.’ The PCC continued to track and discuss the progression of LLF throughout the year.
The change of incumbent provided a good opportunity to review the way that we are organised and the workload that the governance was putting on the incumbent. Prior to Rev Nick Tucker starting it was agreed that the PCC would take over the employment of the non-ordained staff which had previously been the responsibility of the Bishop Hannington Christian Workers Trust (BHCWT). New employment contracts were issued in late summer for most staff when the change became effective, and a HR committee was formed as a sub-committee of the PCC to oversee staff matters. A memorandum of understanding was agreed between the BHCWT and the PCC.
The PCC have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The charity’s activities advance religion and are for the public benefit by expressing God's concern for the spiritual and physical needs of men and women, the maintenance of places for the public worship of God, the provision of regular and occasional religious services for people of all ages and the availability of clergy and lay members to provide information about Christian belief and support individuals with pastoral needs. These activities are available to anyone living in the parish and beyond who wishes to avail themselves of them, irrespective of their social, economic or religious background.

Objectives and Activities - Achievements and Performance
The primary objective of Bishop Hannington Memorial Church PCC is the proclamation of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent in promoting the mission of the Church, in the parish and beyond.
Our objectives were taken forward by the three individual congregations as follows:
Bishop Hannington Memorial Church
BH’s Mission Statement is ‘ Making disciples of Christ in Brighton & Hove and for the world’. As part of the Church of England, we are committed to glorifying God and therefore we want every member (of whatever age) to be passionate about bible teaching, corporate worship, prayer, pastoral care, evangelism and mission.
BH continued to operate through the year with Sunday and Thursday services as well as midweek meetings for various age groups, home group meetings, pastoral care and mission support. Further information, beyond what is needed for this statutory report, will be found on our website. Our verse for 2022 was Romans 15: 13 ‘May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit’. From this we focused on three goals:
-
a. Learning to trust God more
-
b. Being filled with Joy and Peace
-
c. Reaching our community with Gospel hope
Apart from the events noted above some significant matters in the life of BH were:
-
Numbers attending services continue to improve, although we have not recovered to pre-pandemic levels, particularly the children’s groups on Sundays.
-
As part of the nationwide “Passion for Life” initiative we held well attended guest events with Paul Ogunyemi (Church Army) and Jonathan Aitken, which augmented our continuing Alpha and Hope Explored courses.
-
We held a community event to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with the Mayor in attendance. We offered a quiet place for prayer and contemplation as well as a book of condolence following the Queen’s death.
-
We continue to be constrained by lack of volunteers, and it is especially a matter of regret that the weeknight Explorers group is still not able to run.
-
The youth work has evidenced some encouragements and a ‘Crossroads café’ offering hot chocolate to passing school children while talking to them about Jesus has been launched and been well received.
Goldstone Church
This was the 31st year of the Goldstone Church plant, the seventh full year with Simon James-Morse as Minister.
7 | P a g e
-
Sunday Services. Weekly services at Goldstone Primary School continue to build a Christian worshipping community. The congregation is growing spiritually, both personally and corporately. We are very thankful for the good co-operation with the school which has been strengthened by the Goldstone minister joining the governing body.
-
Signs of Grace. The monthly services for the deaf community provide spiritual support to the deaf in the congregation, help those learning British Sign Language (BSL), and integrate deaf and hearing people.
-
Lindridge Care Home. Weekly services at Lindridge provide a proactive Christian witness in the community, provide faith services in the NHS Residential Home, and regular social interactions with residents. The Goldstone Church Minister continues to be part of the NHS Voluntary Chaplaincy Team, assigned to Lindridge Care Home.
Holy Cross Church
In 2022, Holy Cross Church served local people in a number of ways:
-
Church members have loved their neighbours in deed and not just in word.
-
Through our Sunday services and a new weekly daytime initiative, Tuesday At Ten, local people of all ages and stages have made friends, enjoyed community, and grown spiritually.
-
Four initiatives have particularly served young people and their adults: Junior Jivers, a weekly song and action group for pre-schoolers and their adults, with a Christian theme; a new monthly group, Dadz N Kidz, for under-11's and their (male) adults; and two events in the local park: an Easteregg hunt, and a Jubilee trail.
-
In the wake of the death of Queen Elizabeth II, we provided for local people a book of condolence and a space to enjoy quiet reflection and/or prayer.
Electoral Roll
At the end of 2022 the electoral roll totalled 333 (342 at end 2021); 259 (Bishop Hannington Memorial Church (261 at end 2021), Holy Cross Church 36 (43 at end 2021), and Goldstone Church 37 (38 at end 2021).
Financial Review
Income rose from £517,291 last year to £624,924. During the year most of the employees of the Christian Workers Trust transferred to the PCC, and James Hannington Memorial Trust changed its governing document, thereby falling under the technical control of the PCC. The effect of these changes was to increase income by some £140,000 to reflect the transfer of funds at the dates of change. Underlying income therefore fell by approximately £32,000, due to a reduction in unrestricted legacies and one-off grants.
Costs have fallen by about £15,000. This reduction in costs is almost entirely due to reduced spend on major projects for our main church building.
As a group we recorded a surplus of £40,204, although this relates entirely to restricted funds. Individually, BH lost £37,491 (due to the costs mentioned above), Holy Cross lost £4,301 (before the BH support of £23,224), and Goldstone lost £5,295. Further analysis can be seen in note 9 of the accounts.
8 | P a g e
The group has net current assets of £408,514, compared with £368,310. This increase is due to the restricted fund balances as set out in note 6.
Reserves Policy
This relates only to unrestricted funds.
Our reserves are set out in the notes to the financial statements. Goldstone and Holy Cross church retain unrestricted funds that their committees consider appropriate to ensure their continuing operation, and these are shown as designated funds. A separate designated fund is maintained for major capital projects at BH, based on a rolling 4-year assessment of needs.
BH maintains the balance of reserves in line with the policy established by the PCC, and reviewed during 2021. The PCC considered that a reasonable level of free reserve is between £50,000 and £100,000 although agreed that it should be nearer the higher end of this range. This is held to enable us to respond to unexpected downturns, or take strategic opportunities as they arise. Any funds in excess of this range are used first to fund capital projects and secondly to support the wider mission of the church.
As shown in the accounts, the free reserve, shown as the BH General Fund, at the year-end was £80,000.
Environmental matters
We have previously considered both the impact we have on climate change; and the impact climate change has on the charity. We do not consider there is any impact on our going concern assessment or asset values. We are however conscious of the costs related to property maintenance caused by more extreme weather, the rising costs of energy, and the effects this may have on our supporter base. This is considered as part of the PCC risk assessment process.
Risk management
The PCC review risks formally twice a year, firstly to consider the overall risk environment and to identify major risks, and then later to consider the effectiveness of risk management strategies.
The major (gross) risks identified in this process were: data protection, being led astray from sound doctrine, safeguarding, reliance on too few people and the changes being discussed nationally within the Church of England on changing doctrine and the definition of marriage (see LLF resolution in the earlier section).
The PCC also considered the risks associated with the vacancy following the resignation of Phil Moon after the year end.
9 | P a g e
Future plans
The PCC are encouraged by the gentle recovery of numbers in many of our activities and services, and are committed to continuing the proclamation of the gospel in as wide and inclusive way as possible. We are aware of the challenges in the coming year, as the economy affects finances, and the difficulties facing the wider church. These challenges may require us to adapt in how we work, without compromising the good news of Jesus Christ.
Statement of members of the PCC responsibilities
As members of the PCC we are required to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of our affairs and of the surplus or deficit for the year. In preparing these accounts, the PCC is required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, and whether the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP and the Church Accounting Regulations.
We are also responsible for:
-
maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the PCC, and
-
safeguarding the assets of the PCC and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Signed
Rev Dr Nicholas Tucker

Accounting Policies
-
a) Convention: The financial statements have been prepared under the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 in accordance with applicable accounting standards and the Statement Of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities SORP (FRS 102). The PCC is a public benefit entity.
-
b) The group accounts: comprise BH PCC and the James Hannington Memorial Trust, a separate registered charity which became part of the group in 2022.
-
c) Income: Donations are recognised on receipt, with associated gift aid recoveries. Grants and legacies are recognised accounted for when notified of entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is probable. Staff time and related costs, provided by BH CWT, is recognised on receipt, with a matching item of expenditure. Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised as earned.
-
d) Expenditure: Expenditure is recognised as incurred. Grants and donations, including parish share, are accounted for when paid, or when a legal or constructive obligation is created. Where Vat is recovered on expenditure, this is presented as a net cost.
-
e) Fixed Assets: Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by virtue of the Charities Act 2011. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the SOFA and separately disclosed. Freehold land and buildings, which are held for continuing use by the PCC (other than Holy Cross Church), have been included at deemed cost. No depreciation is provided on Freehold buildings due to their expected life exceeding 50 years. Individual components or items of equipment with a purchase price of £2,500 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.
-
f) Taxation: The church, as a registered charity, is generally not liable to taxation on its surplus or capital gains. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates. VAT recovered on listed building work is offset against expenditure.
-
g) Going concern: The PCC considers that it’s reserves and risk policies are sufficient to ensure that there are no material uncertainties about the church's ability to continue as a going concern.
-
h) Judgements and Estimates: The main judgements applied in these accounts relate to the recognition of income and expenditure as set out above, and the treatment of consecrated properties and related fixed asset expenditure. These judgements have been informed by accounting guidance prescribed by the Business Committee of the General Synod in their guide to the SORP 2005.

Holy Cross Church is an asset of the parish, but is not included above as it is a consecrated property. It is notionally valued at £1
-
Some of the above properties are let out commercially when not in use by staff. As the intention is to retain these properties for the church's own use, they continue to be treated as functional fixed assets.
-
All properties listed were originally purchased using an appeal to establish an evangelical church in the area. This restriction is in line with the core activities of the PCC and the properties are therefore not treated as restricted funds.
