Trustees, Report
forthe year ended
31 December 2024
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at Christ Church and at St Luke's Millwall
and to become part of our parish community on the Isle of Dogs. The PCC understands its mission. and the mission of
the whole Church, to fall into five main categories: Ilproclamation of the Good New5 of the Kingdom of God 2}
baptising and nurturing new believer5 31 responding to human need through loving Service 41 transforming unjust
Structures in our 50ciety 51 safeguarding the integrity of creation through wise and careful use of its resources. These
themes we sum up in the banner statement 'Building a healthy community through our Christian faith,.
Ob-ectives and Activities
When planning our activities for the year, the Incumbent and the PCC have considered the Charity Commission's
guidance on public benefit and. in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. The
objectives for 2024, as described in Mission Action planning IMAP20161 by the PCC, are laid out in the agendas and
minutes of the PCC in 2024. and are a matter of public record. The objectives of the Mission Action Plan are:
To make Christ Church a place to be
To create connections
To encourage an engaged community
For Christ Church to be the first port of call for support and sanctuary
To celebrate and model inclusivity and diversity
To make the Christian faith accessible
l am pleased to present our Trustees, Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024. In previous report51
wrote that 2022 was about getting the big blocks of parish life back into place after the pandemic, and 2023 was
about establishing lor re-establishingl a rhythm that we can live by. 2024 has been a yea r of growth, a gradual
increase in our Sunday attendance at the Parish Mass measured by the traditional 'snapshot' of the Sundays in
October, from hovering just below 40 adults and 7 - 15 children in 2023, to an average just below 50 adults and
between 8 and 20 children in 2024. This 15 borne out in practical ways- we are needing to print more noticesheets for
Sunday, and to allow for more bread at the Mass. Another positive sign of growth has been our ability to increase our
Common Fund giving by £500 a month in 2025, $0 that we will be contributing £50,000 duringthe year. This growth
is still not as much as we would like to see, of course, but the old saying is probably true, 'nothing breeds success like
success,. There is a natural tipping point with church congregations where the sense of being a 'full' church reassures
us that we are in the right place, and that we are not missin8 Out on something special, and encourages us to come
back the next week and the next week. It is a slow climb to that tipping point, and we are not there yet11 would put it
at about 65 adult5 and 20 children in our casel. We are vulnerable still to the effect that a particularly cold day lor a
particularly fine dayl has on attendance at church. The congregational photograph, taken at Pentecost 2024 makes
that point. Sometimes we can't avoid being absent, and sometimes those absences added together mean that a
considerable chunk of the congregation is missing. The most effective piece of Christian misson and witness that you
can do is to be in church Sunday by Sunday. without fail. This is the way churche5 grow, and Christ Church is no
different.
The start of 2024 was marked by funerals. Benice Sultan who was always such a prayerful supporter of my ministry
had died in December 2023 had her funeral in church in January 2024. In February 2024 Sandra Ireland died
peacefully at home, but estranged from her family and therefore without anyone to take responsibility for arranging
her funeral. I stepped in to register her death and, with the help of the charities that were ultimately beneficiarie5 of
her will. we are able to follow her wishes and give her a good funeral at Christ Church and a reception at the
Waterman's Arms. In early 2025 we were to lose David Longbottom. I will write more about him next year in my
report. To balance the loss of these and others, we have the joy ofwelcoming, by bapt15m, new members into the
Church. IVS even more joyful when their families immediately settle down and become regular members ofthe
Sunday con8regation. Tilly Ryan's baptism has brought us her parents David and Clara and her brother Alfie, and
Ka55ia Rodrigues's baptism and confirmation has brou8ht us her mum Crisanta.

Lent began early in 2024 (mid February) but not before we had a happy Shrove Tuesday pancake party in the crypt.
Our Lent Course, in person and via Zoom, was focussed on the readings for the following Sunday. On Thursday
evenings we met in the Parish Room for a 'holy hourf of adoration in front of the Blessed Sacrament. Holy Week was
as busy as ever. though we were no longer able to depend on David Longbottom to lead one of the sessions of
Stations of the Cross. The Easter Vigil and lighting of the New Fire happened on Easter Eve at 7pm rather than at
dawn on Easter Day. This attracted a larger congregation than it would in the rnorning124 adults and 4 children -
some who joined the service simply came because they were passing and saw the brazier lit}. We were a very
international gathering, and were able to greet each other 'Christ is risen He is risen indeed I. in many different
languages. In 2025 we may need to revert to the dawn on Easter Day timing as we have a candidate for confirmation
being presented at St Paul's Cathedral on Easter Eve. Apart from the Lent Course, the Parish Education programme
has considered people's favourite saints, and then favourite hymns and religious poems. We are grateful for the time
and effort that Jenny Ming Clarke put into arranging and encouraging these course, and also to those who hosted
sessions in their homes.
Our annual confirmation service in 2024 fell on our Patronal Festival Sunday. 11 children from Years 5 and 6 at St
Luke's Primary School were confirmed by Bishop Rob Wickham, the Bishop of Bradwell. I want at this point in mv
reportto celebrate the close partnership we have with St Luke's School. Every week we lead Mass with an address at
the school I'we, belng Fr. Selwyn, from St Luke's Millwall and11 and I lead a dlscusslon with a class about Bible
readings for the following week, That class then takes a responsibility for reading the chosen Bible passage, for
carryin8 in the Altar candles, and for ringing the Sanctus bell. Over the time that the children are at the school they
have considerable exposure to the Christian faith, to the Church, to the Bible and to church worship, in addition to
the Collective Worship that happens at other times, led by the teachers. All this means that confirmation classes are
exactly that- the children are encouraged to draw on and confirm what they have already been exposed to and knov
confidently. It makes confirmation classes at the school a real joy. We do confirm earlier in children's lives than in
some other church communities, but it makes sense to give them 18 months of experience as confirmed Christians
before they leave to join their secondary schools, which may or may not have a Christian character. It has been good
in the new academic year, 2024125 to workwith the new Headteacher at St Luke's School, Mr Calum Howard who
opened our summer Féte for us, and who has returned since then to update us on changes at the school.
In early July we joined the Diocese of Chelmsford's annual Bradwell pilgrimage, paying back Bishop Rob for his visit tc
do our confirmation5, if you like. By the time we arrived by minibus on the Dengie peninsula the weather was
drawing in. Once we had processed to St Peterfs Bradwell the rain was coming at us horizontally off the sea: and
rather than being able to sit comfortably outside and join in worship and the picnics we'd all brought, we were
penned in the lovely (but small) Saxon church. Bishop Rob. though, gave an excellent address about 'bad prayerf. ané
after a while our prayers, bad or good, were answered by some sunshine. We were able to join in the outside
activities that had been planned. but then abandoned, including an inspiring visit to the ecology gardens of the
Othona Community next door. Pilgrimage is an activity that we can all make part of our Christian life. In a city like
London, with so much 'holy historv you don't need to go far to make a pilgrimage. St Alfege's Greenwich, St John's
Stratford, or St Peter's London Dock fill your imagination with what it means to be a disciple of Jesus, and how other¢
have lived out that discipleship even at the risk of their lives. The pilgrima8e was a good way to def lect U5 from
worrying about the Fete, the followin8 weekend. Thi5 weiit splendidly, as it always does. I would like to tske this
opportunity to thank Wing Blaby for all the work that she and Mike did to make it such a succe55.

Over the summer our new Audio Wisltal system was installed. a drop down screen, a powerful projector and all the
technology that makes it work together. Two changes to the original specifications were the addition of a 'confidencf
monltorf above the head of the organ55t. and the mounting there also of the prL camera that we were given four
years ago byAlex Perex. The AV system means that we can show pictures and video, and we can livestream our
services, includlng what is displayed on the screen. One of the first use5 of the system was to bid David Longbottom
'God Speed. as he went north to Washlngton to Ilve near his family. Since then it has been used for Bible maps and
finance presentations. school services, sermon aids and familles, funeral pictures. While we are not the sort of churcF
thatslng5 or prays from a screen, the AV system has added so many new possibillties: and it can be deployed and
cleared away within moments. We are recrulting volunteers to run the camera and the livestream. If you would like
to add thi5 skill to your portfolio, please ask me and I will glve you a demonstration.
The organ has had some restoratlon work In this last year. In particular, each of the pipes making up the trumpet stoi
have had new'motors, or tiny leather bellows made for them. The trumpet Stop now sounds magnificent, though it i:

What is clear is how many talented musical friends we have. all of whom are keen to help out in the meanwhile. A bif
thank you to them.
We continue to add to the numberof groups that use the church as a springboard to performances elsewhere. The
London Docklands Sin8er5 have long regarded Chr15t Church as their base for rehearsals on Monday evenings. Merry
Opera has joined them, and now rehearses fortwo touringshows a year in the church. In 2024 The Three Inch Fools,
who put on pocket Shakespeare productions for schools, rehearsed a production of Macbeth here, complete with a
moveable forest. Sharesy, a new online app which allows groups to book public spaces has been a real boon. We havi
had orchestral concerts, public meetings, memorial parties and the like through Sharesy, and in each case Sharesy
brings in organisations and individuals who don't belong to the area. so it widens our outreach. We are
experlmenting with a similar app called Giggster which does the same for the creative industries. These rental
opportunities add directly to the income of the church. as does the passive, yet ever present cardless terminal which
was introduced by our PCC Treasurer, Jagoda Keshani. This would be a good moment for me to thank our PCC officer,.
and our churchwardenswho do so much for us, Jagoda and Andrew and Michael, Joan and Amanda, and our warden
emeritus, SWvester Small. Together, as the PCC Standing Committee, it is remarkable how much experience, wisdom
nd vision we share.

2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustee5 those matters l am required to
state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or
assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charit￿5 trustees as a body, for my work. for this

and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directlons glven by the Charity Commission
under section 14515llbl of the Act.
An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and
consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinlon on the financial
statements. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent
examination can provide. Consequently l express no opinion as to whether the financial statements present a 'true
and fairf view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examinerfs Statement.
Independent examiner's statement

the financial statements do not accord with those records,. or
the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirement5 concerning the form and content of
accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the
accounts glve a 'true and falr view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention
should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financlal statements to be reached.

Luke Isle of Do s
Notes to the atcounts
for the year ended
31 December 2024
14 Movements In funds Icontlnuedl
Purposes of Restricted Funds:
Restricted fund5 fall into two groups:
New buildin
funds
These funds relate to major planned building projects on the relevant sites. Expenditure has been
incurred in advance of fundraisin& for example on fees, hence these funds are currently in deficit.
The PCC antlclpates that as the projects progress funds will become available to cover these costs.
Other funds
These represent funds where income has been gifted or raised for a specific purpose. In some cases
a transfer is made from general funds to cover a shortfall in income. In the case of the Charity Fund the
PCC has determined to transfer into this fund a sum equivalent to 5% of its unrestricted income, which is
then given to various tharitable causes alongside money raised from specific appeals.
Purposes of Designated Funds..
The major fund represents the value attributed to St. Mildred's House. The PCC are not aware of any
restrirtions arising from the original transfer of the house to the parish but for clarity consider that the
property value should be included separately to the remainder of the PCC'S fvnds.
Other designated funds have been raised or ear-marked for a purpose or project.
No verbal or written restriction is in force. With the completion of the purpose or project. funds will return to the
general fund.
The church purchased IW chairs. spending the restricted tunds. As the chairs were capitalised. the net value atter
depriciation should be included separately to the remainder of the PCCS funds. so it was transferred to designated
accounts.
Purposes of Endowment Funds:
The fund represents an endowment where the capital must be retained by the PCC but the income may
be used for any general purpose of the PCC. Income from the fund is therefore included as part of the
general fund.
