The council has complied with the duty under sertion 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, fully recognising its duty to have due regard to House of Bishop5' guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.

What we achieved and how we affected beneficiarie< lives The early part of 2021 saw the imposition of restrirtions on many aspects of life during the second wave of Covid-19 nfectlons. Public worship was permitted throughout the year. but with restrictions on numbers atterdin8 and on activitie5 such a5 congregationèl singing ènd social events. particularly in the early months of the year. The programme of Covid vaccination5 twk place throughout the yèar. by which immunity in the population was built up, resultin8 in the 8radual lifting of restrirtions, and givin8 people increased confidente to resume social interactions and activities. The activf(ies of the church continued to be seriously impacted, but resourcefulness and 3 'can-do' ttitude among many of our committed church members ensured that we made the most of the possibilities at each stage, maintaining the life. worship and fellowship of the church. embracing new skills and te¢hnologies, while continuing to provide a very safe environment for participants.
Worshlp and Chrfstian Teachlng- adults PL¢blic worship should take place in parish churches at least each Sunday, but as the pandemic continued, blanket permissions were made by the Church of Enand allowing parishes to dispense with these requirernents. In consèquence, wtth mo¥t church members heeding the advice to maIn at home. few Services were held in Church dur5ng January and February. Many continued to gather for worship, teaching and fellowship using the Zoom video conferèncing platform, or made use of the services streamed on Facebook. We were mindful. however. thatth05e methods were not possible or desirable for all. so we ensured that some public worship took place, and provided opportunities to receive the sacraments. By Easter, communal singlng was pemitted outside, and 3 solo singer inside churches. It was a great joyto slng together for ihe first time in over a year outside a5 we gathered on Maundy Thursday. and also at the end of the Easter morning Communion. Within church we We so fortunatè to have live music sung for us by lenny Billam. with Roger Walkinton accompanying. During spring and earW summer. Sunday services most weeks were: 8am Holy Communion in Church and livestreamed on Facebook- 9.30am Children's Seryice in the hall or churchyard.. 10.30am Morning Worship on Zoom- 6pm ld Evensong with organ music Isometimes with Communion). When the weather allowed, we also held Some evening Songs of Prdise services outside the west end of the church, and some Sung Eucharssts at the southern end of the churchyard. From May to September. Wednesday morning Communion services were held in the churchyard when wssible. with the Chan to enjoy coffee together afterwards. No doubt some of these experiments and innovations will continue even after the pandemic has receded. After a frustratlngly long delay, 3n Internet connection was finally installed in the church in luW. Thi5 enabled us to broadcast the 2oom' servi5 from the church. givinB worshippers the option of attending in person or continuing online. SiJb5equently there has been a Eradual return by many to worship in church and a resumption of rn0 normal pattern5 of worship. As the year progSsed. singing by choir and congregation resumed, along with mofe social events in person. which have all been appreciated. The online options continue to be valued and will remain part of church lrfe, thus enabling those unable to be psent for variety of reasons to continue to participate in church life and worship. The regular housegroups did not meet during 2021, but we ran the Diocesan Lent course on Zoom. featuring a vldeo dialogue between the new bi5hop5 of Horsham and Lewes. and this was greatly èppreciated. Arising from this, a Small group has continued to meet online most week5. to study and di5CUSS the forthcoming Sundavs readings. In Septemberwe were joined by th)minic De50uza-Campbell for a 2-year placement while he trains for ordination.. his sermons have been enjoyed, together with his enthusiastic contributions to church life and worship. Ootninic devised and organised an Advent Carol Service in Dernber which was valued by all who came. Christmas was fully celebrated with the Nine Le55ons and Carols irb church and services at Chrittmas itself, though the rise of the 'Omicron' Wdriant of Covid-19 continued to caLse Concern, and impacted numbers as we approached the close of a difficult year. The light of faith and worship continued to shine at WNelsfield Church during dark days. and darkness did not overcome it, and we look ahead to the future in hope. The average number of adLFIts attending worship either in church or online was 73. Occasional Offices were all impacted by the restrictions and some baptisrns and weddings We postponed.. there were 4 weddings and 8 baptism5, and there were 11 funeral servKes at the church,. 3 fiinerals were conducted by the Vicar in a cemetery or crematorium, and 8 persons. ashes We buried in the churthyard. Worshlp and Chrfstlan Teachtn8- children We continued to hold a separate children's seNice most Sundays throughout the year. continuing the pattern established in 2020. This allowed for separation between older and more vulnerable members arid those at higher risk of exposure to Covid in their schools and wOrkplas. and also provided a simpler pattern of services. In the early weeks the Chrldren's services We on Zoom. later being held in person in the church, h311 or churchyard. Althou8h numbers have rt been large. the services are valued, along with the fellowship TRU5TEE5 ANNIJAL REPOR T
and friend>hips they facilitate. So as to bring different age groups back together, since November there has been a service for all ages monthly, combining the corbgregations of the 9.30 and 10.30 services. and the different age groups have enjoyed rekindling their relationships. There was an average attendance of 6 children on Sundays acro the whole year. sadly the Wicked youth clubs have not en able to mee¢ and activtties in the school have not been possible. In ddition to the regular Sunday service5, worship for d)ildren and Easter garden making took place on Good Friday. and families gathered to make decorations for the Christma5 tree in December. We were pleased to be able to hold ChristinÉle and crib services at the church once again. Fellowshlp and Social Events At a time when many people have been facing isolation and fear, the Church consders it very Important to provide safe opportunities for social contact and interaction. Contact by phone ha5 continued with a number of people connerted with the church community- The church cornmunity has also organised many online social events. such as quizzes, coffee morning5, talks, cooking competitions and games evenings. which are open to anyone. These have been part¥cularly appreciated by thosè living on their own. especially during the darker months. and we are glad to have been able to offer this regular support to 3 wide variety of people- mostly liwng in the local area. but sometimes joined by others from further afield. Fellowship over coffee after services SuMed on Wednesdays in the summer loutsidel and on Sundays in the autumrb, and is greatly valued after a lon8 period when it was not possible. knEht lunches have been held monthly in the church room since September, along with Several special events, such a5 arh outdoor harvest Sunch in September and a 'Sau5age Siiile. with sparklers on 5 November. In july. a Picnic in the Park event was held at Great Ote Hall. In spite of the best efforts of the organisers, heavy rain meant that few people attended. Far more successful was the Church Fete on August Bank Holiday weekend- again at Great Ote Hall. and with much better weather. Large numbers of local people came. appreciating the opportunlty to enjoy one anotherfs company in the beauiiful surroundings. and mL¢ch-needed funds were raised for the Church's work. We are very grateful to Carola Godm3n-Irvine for so generousty welcoming the public to her home and gardens at these events, and for her valuable support for the church in many ways throughout the year. The Church buildings and grounds The Church and grounds continue to provide valued places for calm and reflection, and the church has been open in daylight hours throughout the year. Planned work to carry out minor repairs identified in the latest quinouenni21 Inspection and improvements to the porch- to cure a serious leak and to replace the OLrter wooden doors with more welcoming gla ones- did not happen due to delays in the Local Authority planning process. With permissions now in place. it is hoped that this work will take place in 2022 as soon as our chosen builders are able to undertake it. The churchyard is also valued as a place of reflectlon, In addltion to its usual role as a burial ground for local people. Most of the rnaintenance costs weTr met by the Friends of Wivelsfield Churchyard. along with a grant froffi Wive5sfield Parish Council. with voluntary work parties by Church members helping to ensure that the chLsrchyard is well cared for. The churchyard is also a wonderful wildlife reseTve-during'Count on Nature, week in June a local wildflower expert identified 76 dfferent Species of wildflower present. A Bug Hotel was created by children and their leaders, and a greater variety thars experted of bats has been found in and around the churchyard. A survey by Clare Blencowe, a fungus expert from the Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre. found enough waxcap species to flag up the churchyard as a site of regiobal importance for these fungi. which appreciate undi5turbed soil that is low in nutrients. Many of the activities normally held in the Church hall were suspended Én the earty months of the year, but as restrictions eased through the year, many of these have resumed, so that the church h311 is once again prLividing an important community space and contributing to the church's income. Work continue5 to tate a L¢sable outdoor space behind the chLrrch hall which will incorpore area5 for wildlrfe. TRUSTEES ANNUAI REPORT
SeNlng the local <ommunlty and the wlderworfd The Lunch Bunch group which supports local parents and toddlers resumed but with si8nrficant restrirtions in the sprin8 and summer. From September more normal meetings have been held, with a large number of local families appreciating the chante for adults ènd children to build friendships and develop those important social interations which had been so Serious limited during the pandemic. Throughout the year, Churth member5 have contributed generously to appeals for the food bank run by the local Family Support Work social worker for ne families in the Haywards Heath area, and to a similar appeal for Christmas Bifts, and we are grateful to Anne Martin for CLFordinating these contributions at a time when they have been particularly needed. Church members have tontinued to be artive in their support forthe education of children in our link parish of AbÈrdeen, sierra Leone, and have maintained contact with the community there as they have also navigated this challenging peflod. summary During a year of many changes. Wivelsfield Church has continued to serve the wider communTty in a variety of ways, inspired by the Christian faith 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 continuing curtailment of marby of our normal activites and SoUrS of income and our need to re-think so much of what we usually take for granted, and is a sign of the hard work and commitment of so many in our church community. Faith and love have been tested but have not wavered- now we look forward in hope to a bright future. Financial Review The majority of the parish's income corne5 from the voluntary gTr¥ing of members of the parish. and we are very grateful for the generosty of so many people. which makes our work and activities possible. This is supplemented by wedding and funeral fees. collèttions at special services, fundraising events and the income from our ChuT¢h Hall and Flat. Our income continued to be siBnificantly impacted dLsring 2021 due to the health crisi5. With limited attendances in church. donations through pew envelopes and cash collections were particualry impacted but the PCC wishes to express their thanks to all who were able to make donations to sustain our church throughout the year. often usin8 methods of givin8 that they hadn't used before. Prior to the Summer fund raising events were restricted to activities that could be conducted at least in part remotely such as Steve having his head shaved and Christopher being'imprisoned" at the end of a service. Many people embraced opportunity to join in with OLrtdoor activities with the Picnic in the Park and whilst attendance wasn't as high as hoped due to the very wet weather those who came had a wonderful aftern¢x)n. This was followed by a very well ètterhded Summer Fete with both of these events being held at Great Ote Hall we are very grateful to Carola Godmnan Irving for allowing u5 the use of her home. Income from hiring the church hall was also substantially reduced due to the various restrittions although in the 2nd half of the year income started to return to nearer pre pandemic levels. Each Parish in Chichester Diocese is expected to endeavourto meet in full lin addition to its local expenditu) the costs of providing ministry for it. and a proportion of the central costs of the Di05¢. These costs as they relate to our parish totalled £74,300 in 2021. and we were able to fulty meet these costs. For 2022, the PCC has committed to pay 100% of the DÈ3nery allocotion, which is £76.967. The PCC exercised very tight control overthe items ot expenditure tt could influence. For example heating and lighting costs were lower with limtted use of the chLSrch building and church hall, partTrtularly in the early part of 2021. TRUSTEE S ANNUAL REPOR T
Charltles In 2021 donations totalling £5,1* were made to charttie5. Whilst in 2020 our regular income had fallen short of our expenditure we had been fortunate to receive a number of substantial le8acies and as such given how many harities were struggling due to the health crisi5 the PCC felt thèt it was appropriate to set aside rrtoney for this purpose. The rnoney was distrlbuted as follows '.

DLbring the year a repayment of £2.0 was made leaving an outstaftding balance of £8,000 at the 31st Deomber 2021. This loan is due for repayment in March 2025. TRUSTEE5 ANNUAL REPORT
Income from Legacies From tirne to time the PCC receives legacies. sometimes for expenditure on particular purpose5 defined by the donor. We aim to expend such money as as possible after reIVing the leg3cy, depending on the specific objectives of the donor. During 2021 we did not receive any legacies. The PCC has agreed to use a substantial part of the legacy from Brian High in 2020 to fund the various aspert5 of maintenance required to the church dentified in the most recent Quinquennial Report produced by the Church Architect including the work to the SoLrth porch . It is expected that this work will be undertaken during 2022. Why we hold some money in reserve It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on the general unrestrirted funds lexcluding property) which equates to at least three months. worth of our nomial expenditu as contingency against unforeseen 51tuations. This year's adjusted closing balance of £ 87.260 meets this requirement. It is PCC policy to invest balances of funds with the CBF Church of Enand deposit fund and the CAF Gold Dep051t Account.

AddItional funds were made available to help wtth the Shida Pre School bullding project and Stage costs were inCued in respÈrt of a number of par15 sent to Sierra Leone containing various supplies. Bible stuthi boDklets were also Purchased and sert to St Matthews. Icl The hall is regular used for knth church athvTties and a signfficant number of casual users from the local community w¢th a broad range of actlvttles tsking place producing regular hire fee income. Howeverthe health crisis has again disrupted this inwme In 2021. The flat has been let throughout the year. Th@ hall renovation and tonverston costs were largely rrt by (bn3tion5 Wlth the shortfall funded through è combination of interest free loans and church funds. All outstandlng sums have been repaid with the exception of an interest free loan made by a parishioner. The OLrtstanding loan of £IO,O(MJ brought forward has been redd through a repayment of £2,(XX) made duringthe year leaving an outstsnding balan of £8,CKJJ at the year end.

Income recewed from Chancel trusts is rt investment income. 35 the PCC does not own the trustfund nor its investments. Income from Chichester DBF is a Restslcted charFtable grantto EMbr5e the cost of insuring the Chancel. which previously has been paid by the PCC from General Furkds. In 2021 the grant amoLtnted to £249.73 (2020 £254.27) The PCC decided to tran5Ferthe Restricted grant to General Fund to replenish that fund forthe wst of Chancel insurance. 15 Church and Hall Insurance We used to have 2 in5urnnce pjlioes. one forthe thurth and one for the hall.
