The council has complied with the duty under sectbon S of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, fully recognising its duty to have due regard to House of Bishops, guidance on safeguarding children and vulrserable adults. For 2020 we discussed and planned the following objectives and artwit5 to fulfil our aims- Enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church Enabling as many people as possible to become part of our parish community Teaching, baptising and nurturing new and existing believers Maintsining an overview of worship throughout the parish Considering how services can involve the many groups that live within the parish Putting faith into practice, through prayer and scripture. music and sacrament Offering worship and prayer. learning about the Gospel. in small group situations Assistillg people from all walks of life to develop their knowledge of. and trust in, Jesus Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish Providing assistance to the poor and needy of the parish Maintaining and developing our link with St Matthew's. Aberdeen.

What we achieved and how we affected beneficiaries. lives At the beginning of 2020, Wivelsfield Parish Church had plans in place for worship and activities throughout the year, including musical events. ServIS in church and at other locations. a fete at Great Ote Hall and children's activities. With the arrival of Covid-19 and the consequent restrictions required by law in many areas of life. many of these plans had to be curtalled or abandoned. However. vrshIp of God and Servi of others has continued as the Church has adapted to the new challenges and oprM)rtunities TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
Worshlp and Christian T&iching- adults Churches were completely closed- both for prrvate prnyer and public worship- from 23 March, but we were able to respond quickly to the restrirtions, holding our first online services on Sunday 29 March. Some services have been livestreamed on Facebook via the existing page run by the Church. enabling these to be easily accessed by the public. Use of the Zoom video confererbcing platform for other services- while less publicly accessible- nevertheless enabled a real gathering of the worshipping community. with opportunities for many people to be active participants in acts of worship. and to share much-needed emotional support and fellowship. In these gatherings the Church community continued to engage with the Word of God, and to offer prayer for the needs of the world generally and of this parish in particular. As well as many of the established congregation. others have joined in these acts of worship. some of whom have become regular worshippers. Jenny Billam has continued to lead the singing from her piano at home, Colin Holden has given a great deal of technical support. and th deserve our gratitude, together with the many others who have contributed to these services. We also responded quickly when worship in church was able to resume in July, with 8am and 6pm Sunday servi$ and midweek services held in church. The social distancing requirement for worshippers to be seated 2 metres apart from anyone outside their household severely limited the numbers which could be accommodated in the church, and for this reason the main Sunday service at 10.30am continLbed to be on Zoom throughout the year. Thanks to the generous support of some of the church's neighbours in allowing use of their wifi signal, it has been possible to lsvestream many services from the church, thus enabling some to continue participating from home. A further lockdown throughout November closed churches once again, and high infection rates in the area in December discouraged others from attending, and so it was important that we maintain our online patterns of worship. The PCC decided to instsll a landline broadband connertion to the church, to give a reliable internet connettion in the future, for both worship and other activitie5, hoping that this would be a relatively quick process to enable livestreaming On the church reopened. In spf(e of faculty permission being granted quickly* there were long delays by the provider, and tt will not be installed until at least the end of March 2021. Roger Whyatt deserves particular gratitude for his perseverence with this projett. It has not been possible for the existing housegroups to meet since March, but in place of this an online group has studied the'Ltving Faith, course from Lichfield Diocese. The average number of adults attending worship either in church or online was 65. Occasional Offices were all impatted by the restrirtions and many baptisms. weddings and memorial services were postponed.. there was I wedding and 3 baptisms. and there were 11 funeral services at the church Isome at the graveside); 4 funerals were condutted by the Vicar in a cemetery or crematorium, and 3 persons. ashes were buried in the churchyard. Worshlp and Chrfstlan Teach¢ng- children We started a separate children's seNice on Zwm on Easter Sunday, and these continued weekly for the rest of the year, being led by different members of the children's ministry team. From July to September. children's services were mostly held in the churchyard. moving to the hall as needed, and returning to Zoom during the November lockdown. These services have provided Christian teaching and worship for the children and pastoral support for them and their families, at a time when many have been isolated from friends and family and facing the challenges of home-schooling. 9 families regularly attended these services, with an average attendance of 7 children across the whole year. Teenage members of Wicked YoLrth Club met on Zoom throughout year. facilitated by Steve Onions, but many of the activities nornially held for children couldn't tske pla- such as JAM days, Junior Wicked and Social Club and assemblies at the school. We were able to hold 2 Christingle Services at the church, with 32 children attending with their familie5. We also made plans to hold 4 Crib services on Christmas Eve. and 80 people had booked to TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORr
ttend these, but due to the high infertion rates in the area at the time and the vulnerability of members of the leadership team, it was sadly ne5$ary to can1 these. Fell<Mship and Soclal Events At a time when many people have been facing prolonged isolation and fear. the Church consdered it very important to provide safe opportunities for social contsct and interartion. Eath member of the PCC took on the responsibility of keeping in contact by phone with a number of people connerted with the church community. The church community has also organised many online social events. such as quizzes. coffee mornings. talks, cooking competitions and games evenings, which are open to anyone. These have been particularly appreciated by those living on their own, especially during the darker months, and we are glad to have been able to offer this regular support to a wide variety of people- mostty living in the local area, but sometimes joined by others from further afield. Particular appreciation is due to Colin and Julie Holden and Clare Whyatt for organising most of these events and helping us meet some of the current challenges. The Chuich buildings and grounds Places for prayer and reflection have been particularly valued during this year, and the church has been open dailv for private prayer since June, and is well used for this purpose. The fart that we were able to open the church throughout the day rather than at limited times has made it easy to maintain social distancing, as it is less likely that other visitors will be there at the same time. To open the church safely. soft furnishings were removed, and a programme of regular cleaning of surfaces was put in place. During the year, plans were made to undertake minor repairs around the building, and improvements to the porch-to alter the roof structure to cure a seriou5 leak. and to replace the outer wooden doors and decayed bird doors with glazed ones to make the porch lighter and more welcoming- and we hope to carry out this work as soon as PK)ssible in 2021. The churchyard has also been valued as a pla of reflection, in addition to its usual role as a burial ground for local people. Most of the maintenance costs are met by the Friends o* Wivelsfield Churchyard, along with a grant from Wivelsfield Parish Council, with voluntary work parties by church members helping to ensure that the churchyard is well cared for. Spring bulbs were planted at the southern end of the churchyard. and the PCC is considering how to improve the environmental impact of the churchyard, in line with our Eco<hurch status. Many of the usual activities by which the church hall contributes to local life have not been possible for much of the year, though the hall continues to be well maintsined. ready for normal use to begin again when possible. Serving the local community and the wider world In February, we held a quiz night- always a popular local event- and in early March many church members contributed to 'Party Pieces,. raising funds for the Sierra Leone link. Both events were held in the village hall, with little inkling that these would be some of the only local events possible during the year. The Lunch Bunch group which supports local parents and toddlers was unable to hold its normal meetings for most of the year, but wlth the loosening of restrictions in the summer v$ able to host outdoor picnics for these families during the good weather. Church members collected shopping and prescriptions for the more vulnerable in the community, though a high proportion of our members were themselves vulnerable to serious illness, so our ability to help in these practical ways was limited. ThroughoLrt the year. church members have contributed generously to appeals for the food bank run by the local Family Support Work social worker for needy families in the Haywards Heath area, and to a similar appeal for Christmas gifts. and we are grateful to Anne Martin for co-ordinating these contributions at a time when they have been particularly needed. Church members have continued to be attive in their support for the education of children in our link parish of Aberdeen, Sierra Leone, and have maintained contact with the community there as they have also navigated this challenging period. TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPOR T
Summary During a year of change and uncertainty, Wivelsfield Church has continued to serve the wider community in a variety of ways. inspired by the Christian faFth which we are called to proclaim in word and deed with those around us and to pass on to future generations. This has happened in spite of the curtailment of many of our normal activites and our need to re-think so much of what we usually take for granted. Many of the usual sources of income have also been seriously affected, particularly hall rentals, fund-raising attivities, church ollections and fees, and it is onEy through the generous regular giving of our member5 and 5UPPOrters that we have been able to pay the full costs of our ministry arHI our share of the central costs of the Diocese. continue our ministries of worship and teaching and contributing to wider society, and we are grateful to all who have given of their time, money and talent to make thi5 possible. Financial Review The majority of the parish's income comes from the voluntary giving of members of the parish, and we are very grateful for the generosity of so many people, which makes our work and activities possible. This is supplemented by wedding and funeral fees, collections at special Servi5, fundraising events and the income from our Church Hall and Flat. Our income was significantly imparted during 2020 due to the health crisis. With limited attendanc es in thurch donations through pew envelopes and cash collections were particualry imparted but the PCC wishes to express their thanks to all who were able to make donations to Sustain our church throughout the year. often using methods of giving that they hadn't used before. After the very successful quiz at the start of the year our normal fund raising acttvities were largely curtailed but thanks are due to all those who found ways to raise much needed fuinds for the church and the support of those who gave donations to support virtval events. Income from hiring the church hall was also substantially reduced due to the various restrictions as were PCC fees with the restrictions placed on weddings. Each Parish in Chichester Diocese is expected to endeavour to meet in full lin addition to its local expenditure) the costs of providing ministry for it. and a proportion of the central costs of the Diocese. These costs as thev relate to our parish totalled £74,03S in 2020, and we were able to fully meet these costs. For 2021, the PCC has committed to pay lTrJ% of the Deanery allocation. which 15 £74.3. The PCC exercised very tight control over the items of expenditure it could influence. For example heating and lighting costs were lower with limited use of the thurch building and church hall and as we were unable to hold Cafe Church services after March we avoided some Village Hall hire fees. We were very fortunate to receive several significant legacies in 2020. Without the inclusion of income from these legacies the income received in 2020 fell short of expenditure by just under £7.IXXJ as detailed in the accompnying accounts. TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

Income from Legacies From time to time the PCC receives legacies, sometime5 for expenditure on particular purposes defined by the donor. We aim to expend such money as soon as possible after receiving the legacy, depending on the specific objectives of the donor. During 2020 we were very fortunate to receive legacies from the e5tate5 of Brian High £52,854.70, Donald Scobbie, £2,000 and Martin Richards. £IO,O(XJ. The PCC has agreed to use a substantial part of the leg3cy from Brian High to fund the various aspects of maintenance required to the church identified in the most recent Quinquennial Report produced by the Church Architett including the work to the South porch . It is expected that this work will be undertaken during 2021. A further £586 of this legacy has been used to meet half of the cost of new bell ropes with the MainIng part of the cost doriated by a church member. Money from these legacies will also be used to pay the balance of costs associated with the nstallation of a phone connection to provide a broadband capability in church following an appeal for donations which raised £1031.25 including Gift Aid. Why we hold some money in reserve It is PCC policry to maintain a balance on the general unrestricted funds (excluding property) which equates to at least three months. worth of unrestricted payments as contingency against unforeseen situations. This vear's adjusted c105ing balance of £95,043 meets this requirement. It is PCC policy to invest balances of funds with the CBF Church of England deposit fund and the CAF Gold Deposit Account.

lal Routine expenditure was incurred on malntaining the churchyard. A grant of £2,5(KJ was received from Wivelsfield Parish Council. Ibl Donations have been made in respert of educational sponsorship although the payment in respect of the2020121 academic year was not paid until January 2021. Postage costs were incurred in respect of a number of parcels sent to Sierra Leone containing various supplies. In addition bible study booklets were purchased and sent to St Matthews. (cl The hall is regularly used for both church activities and a significant number of casual users from the local community with a broad range of artivities taking Pla producing regular hire fee income. However the health crisis has disrupted this income in 2020. The flat has been let throughout the year.. The hall renovation and conversion costs were largely met by donations with the shortfall funded through a combination of interest free loans and church funds. The outstanding debt of £16,580 brought forbvard has been reduced through further donations of £280 and surplus income generated by the hall of £6,300. The debt as at 315t December 2019 required to be repaid for the hall is £10,fft) made up of a single interest free loan due for repayment in 2025. Idl The General Fund includes the value of the Church Hall lel The Fabric Funds have not been utilised in 2020. The restricted Fabric Fund is only available for repairs to the church. The designated Fabric Fund may be used for repairs to the church and church hall. If) The church wa5 fortunate to receive a number of legacies during 2020. The PCC has agreed to use a part of the legacy frorn Brian High to carry out various repairs to the church identified during the most recent Quinquennial undertaken by the Church Architect. A sum of £586 was also used towards the cost of replaclng the bell ropes. The PCC has also agreed to use some of the money from the legacies received to help pay for the installation of a phone line in church to provide an internet connection to support online services. Igl The PCC resolved to treat the income derived from the Church Hall as designated to repay the debt associated with the renovation and conversion projett. See note (c). 14 Other Receipts In 2019 as a part of our charitsble giving £l,IMX) was allocated to a fund administered by the Vicar to provide support to members of the local community who found themselves in difficulty and this was held as a Creditor in the church accounts. None of this fund was called upon in 2020 and to give greater visibility the money has been removed as a Creditor and is recorded as "Other Income" The sum of £1,000 has been transferred into a newly created designated fund called the Good Samaritan Fund. 15 Chancel Trust and income grant Following a revlew of the law the Chichester DBF decided in 2019 that the previous presentation of Chancel Funds had been misunderstood and that a revision was required. Income received from Chancel trusts is not investment income. as the PCC does not own the trust fund nor Its Investments. Income from Chichester DBF is a Restricted charitable grant to reimburse the cost of insuring the Chancel, which previously has been paid by the PCC from General Funds. In 2020 the grant amounted to £254.27 (2019 £258.21) The PCC decided to transfer the Restricted grant to General Fund to replenish that fund for the cost of Chancel insurance. Accumulated grant income not yet received from Chichester DBF and included in Debtors amounted to £3523.12 at 31st December 202012019 £3268.88J. TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPOR T
