Church Attendance
At 31 December 2024 there were 395 names on the Electoral Ro51 (an increase of 28
from 2023). Of the total 46.6 0/0 (2023: 44.4 % ) live inside the Parish boundary and
53.4 % (2023: 55.6 % ) outside.
The average number of adult worshippers in church on a normal Sunday in 2024 was
231 compared to 195 in 2023, In addition to which many others were watching
online.
Financlal revlew
During the year we received two substantial legacies amounting to £95,000 and
restricted grant for the Rectorfs Discretionary Fund of £75,000. Our planned giving
and donations from the church family also increased significantly as a result of Gift
Sunday appeals. So total income in the year increased to £585,000 (2023.. £404,000)
arising from increases in legacies of £63,000, grants of £41,000, planned giving,
donations and related Gift Aid of £67,000, and deposit interest of £9,000.
Total expenditure in the year increased to £397,000 (2023.. £340,000) due primarily
to the additional cost of our newly appointed Associate Vicar £59,000, parish office
salary and IT support costs of £12,000, offset by no donation to the Deanery £8,000
and lower costs of repairs to buildings and equipment of £7,000.
The net result for the year was a surplus of income over expenditure of £188,000
(2023: £64.000).

A further £19,000 (2023.. £3,000) has been designated to cover the estimated repair
costs of items identified in the 2024 Quinquennial Inspection of the church premises.
The total funds carried forward at 31 December 2024 amount to £556,000 (2023:
£368,000) made up of unrestricted general funds of £396,000 (2023.. £298,000),
unrestricted designated funds £65,000 (2023.. £44,000) and restricted funds of
£95,000 (2023: £26,000).
Rlsks
The PCC have reviewed and assessed the risks relating to its activities and are
satisfied that they have taken all reasonable steps to limit or provide cover for any
major risks.
Reserves policy
The PCC reserves policy is to maintain a balance of unrestricted funds which
equates to approximately 3 months general payments plus designated amounts for
known future repair projects to church premises and equipment.
At 31 December 2024 this reserves policy equated to £161,000 (2023: £122,000).
Free reserves at the current year end are in excess of this amount by approximately
£294,000 (2023 £218,000) excluding reserves held as fixed assets. The PCC
anticipate fully utilising these reserves over the next five years to contribute to
projected operating deficits and the cost of refurbishing the Vestry Cottage in 2025,
which will be accounted for as a fixed asset.
Investment Pollcy
It is our policy to invest our fund balances in short and medium term deposits with
banks and financial institutions to maximise income returns whilst minimising
investment risk.
All investments or deposits of church funds will only be made with regulated national
institutions who have published acceptable Environmental, Social and Governance
policies.
Public Benefit
For many years the advancement of religion has automatically been accepted as
charitable. Under the Charities Act 2011 this continues to be charitable, but the Act
contains an overarching requirement that there must be a public benefit.
The PCC has paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public
benefit and strongly believe that the holding of services for the worship of God and
the Lord Jesus Christ, preaching and expounding the Word of God, Ihe Bible, holding
classes for the instruction of adults and children in the Word of God, and providing
any other activity which will promote the Word of God and lead people to faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour is for public benefit.
We also believe that our many and varied activities as a church provide practical
support and care for people living in the parish, from the youngest to the eldest, as

well as providing financial support to other outreach organisations working in the UK
and missionaries overseas.
Review of the year
In January, a senior member of the Church family sent the Rector a card to
encourage us as we embarked on a new year. She had been very conscious of the
busyness of the previous 6 months, and the exciting changes and opportunities in
prospect for 2024, and she shared this verse with us. My presence will go with you,
and I will give you rest, (Exodus 33v14}. This wonderful promise from God has been
a great encouragement throughout the year.
On January 8 we were able to announce some tremendous news to the Church
family. As a result of a very generous response to Gift Sunday in November 2023, we
were in a position to announce the appointment of Rev Ben Martin to a newly created
position of Associate Vicar of St Margaret's Church. The particular focus for his
ministry will be the development of work amongst families, and outreach. Ben would
be joining us after Easter, and then a new Curate, Nat Gillett. would be starting his
ministry in June.
The news of both these appointments was received with thanksgiving, joy and
excitement. People felt that a new chapter was opening up in 2024, in which new
staff could help us to move foward in our desire to do more to help the Church family
to grow in their relationship with Christ, and to reach more people in our community
with the good news of Jesus Christ.
We were grateful both to the Church family for their generosity, but also to the
Diocese of Chichester for their support in very practical ways during the prO￿ss,
including the purchase of 2 houses in the village for our new staff to occupy. It was
heartening to see our Diocese encouraging us in our aspirations for ministry and
mission at St Margaret's.
Much of the early part of 2024 was spent in preparing for the arrival of these 2 men,
and their families. Though such preparations didn't stop us from engaging actively in
ministry throughout the first 3 months of the year. On Sunday mornings, we studied
the inspiring letter from St Paul to the Philippian Church, a letter that encourages us
to 'join arms, with our fellow Christians to promote the gospel, whatever that should
cost us, following the example of Christ himself, In the afternoons, we looked at an
equally exciting book of the Bible, Joshua, as we saw God fulfilling his promises to
bring his people into the land he had promised to them. This encouraged us to trust
God, realising that none of his promises will ever fail.
There were a number of other highlights in this first 3 months of the year, including 7
professions of faith at an Alpha away day in January, 14 joining a new Hope
Explored course in January, 9 couples benefitling from a Marriage Course, 50 at a
men's breakfast and 101 ladies attending a women's breakfast at which a guest
speaker shared how the grace of God had helped her cope with her own mental
health struggles. As well as these special events in this period, our regular ministries
started up again after Christmas, including Homegroups, evangelistic ministries like
Cameo to parents and babies, ministry to children and youth in the village, and
groups for seniors like Evergreen, Creating Company, Sunday Roast and the
Bereavement group.

In February, we resumed offering both the bread and the cup of wine to people at
Communion. During the post pandemic period, we offered bread dipped in wine
('Intinction') to all to mitigate any health risks, but we felt that now was the right time
to resume the offering of cup and bread to all. This has been widely appreciated.
Another feature of the period was 2 initiatives linked to one of our mission partners,
Family Support Work ('FSW). In February, a monthly 'after school, initiative was
launched, and children mostly from the local primary school were invited to our
church hall for games and tea. This venture has continued most months since then.
In March a concert in aid of FSW was held in Church, and some £1,000 was raised
for FSW.
A substantial spring clean and decluttering exercise was undertaken by some of our
staff and wardens. People appreciated what was done, and also that it led to some
further seating becoming available.
In February, and then again in July and November, the General Synod of the Church
of England continued to consider the authorisation of 'blessings' in Church of the
union of same sex couples. Our Church Council has considered this contentious
issue throughout the year and has repeatedly indicated that it will not approve such
blessings at St Margaret's Church.
We were pleased to move from one Newcomers Supper per year to two suppers due
to demand. A total of 35 people (including staff) attended such a supper in March,
and was an effective way to welcome people, and to share our vision with them.
We were pleased by the way Holy Week proceeded this year, with 3 all age seNices
on Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday with the theme 'Jesus - the way to
Heaven,. In addition to this, we had a reflective service on Maundy Thursday and an
hour at the Cross on Good Friday. We added a communion service at 1130 on
Easter Sunday for those who might like to take it on this special day, but 'take up,
was low. It was good to finish Easter Sunday with an informal Easter Praise service
at the 5pm.
In early April the Martin family moved into the village, and Ben's ministry started with
a very uplifting service conducted by the Bishop of Horsham on April 14. Bishop Ruth
warmly commended the congregation for rising to the financial challenge of this new
appointment and encouraged us to work with Ben rather than expecting him to do all
the work.
The APCM on 28 April proceeded in a calm, prayerful, purposeful manner, as we
looked back with gratitude to the past year and looked fO￿ard to all that awaits us in
the year to come.
The next phase of the year started in May, with people instantly noticing the benefits
of Ben Martin's ministry amongst us, both on Sundays and mid-week. We resumed
our preaching series based on Luke's gospel on Sunday mornings in May under the
heading 'Travelling with Jesus,, and this highly accessible teaching proved
stimulating. In the afternoons, we turned to that wonderful letter to the Ephesians,
one which calls us to understand, rejoice and live in the light of the gospel.

May was a very busy month on many different fronts, including gathering a team of
people to help decorate the house in which Nat Gillett and his family would move at
the end of the month. It also included our annual Saturday morning event for women
called 'The Vine, at which Helen Thorne-Allenson spoke on the theme of
'Extraordinary Hope,. There was also a men's curry night, which included a quiz, a
curry and a gospel talk by Ben Martin.
In May, we were very pleased to hear that under the provisions of the will of one of
our former members, Madeleine Anson. the sum of c£75,000 was re￿iVed for the
Rectorfs Discretionary Fund. Terms of reference were crafted to govern the precise
uses to which this substantial sum can be applied. We are excited and grateful to
Madeleine for this generous grant, one which we can use to help people in need, but
also to fund projects that will advan￿ the gospel.
The main events of June were undoubtedly ordination of Nat at Chichester Cathedral
on 22nd and the Fun Day on 29th The first of these events was a very happy and
meaningful senjice in the cathedral when Nat Gillett and his fellow candidates from
across the Diocese were set aside to serve the gospel. It was followed by an
opportunity for the Church family to welcome Nat over a picnic lunch on the Sunday.
We remain grateful to God, and to the Bishop of Chichester, for giving us the
privilege of Nat and Connie, and their children for the next 3 years. People have
warmed to Nat and the family from Day 1, and we look fomard to all that the Lord will
bring to us through them.
The Fun Day was a great success, and many thanks to Leanne Kyte for overseeing
it, and to the 80 Church members who contributed to it on the day. The attendance
was higher than in previous years and our best guess is that c1.400 people attended
at points throughout the day. There was a very strong sense of community spirit
evident there, and we received many appreciative comments from villagers who were
grateful that the entertainments were all free. We pray that seeds of the gospel were
planted throughout the day, ones that bring people back to other events and services
throughout the year and lead to some turning to Christ in repentance and faith. We
have big plans for the Fun Day in 2025.
June and July were also very busy months for our Minister to Under 18s, Chris
Wilson. He led a Youth service on June 9 and then spoke at residentials for children
from year groups 4 and 6 from our church primary school later in the same month.
What a wonderful 'open doorf for the gospell He was also busy planning for the
Holiday Club at the end of July, catering pradically and spiritually for the 100+
children who had booked in. He also had his own wedding in August to get ready for.
The Holiday Club was a great success, with around 90+ children each day, and many
children returned for the end of Club service and BBQ on the Sunday. It has been
really heartening to see how the children and their families seem happy to come to
events like Fun Days, Holiday Club, Light Parties and Christmas events. We rejoice
in that, and long for these gospel seeds to lodge deep in their hearts, and bear fruit.
We were very grateful to Joseph Wisener for being willing to take on the role of
'Community Champion, over the Summer. Joseph has already started to build on
previous work to make inroads into forging closer connections with the community,
including liaising with the local parish council and being a conduit for information,
However, Joseph has started a deeper work to help us to think as a church what
genuine community engagement might look like and this is a natural overflow of the
gospel. The next step is to bring community engagement into the overall strategy for

mission and consider practically what this might look for St. Margaret's given the
resources and context we find ourselves in.
The Summer also marked the completion of the work on the 'Network Project,. We
are so grateful to the team of volunteers from the Church (Dave and Ann Jones,
Gareth Mcmillan, Paul Chapman, Tony Mayes, Ali Amini-Ahsan, Brian Smith, Barry
Verroken, Joel Nicholl, John Heaton and David Fordham) who have worked on this
important project. They re-cabled the church and church office, connecting the two
areas together, which is very difficult to do in a church of this age and design. They
repla￿d all the network equipment with new, more secure and robust equipment,
including repla￿d WIFI which, among other things, enables secure guest access
throughout the church. They built in the ability to expand the network further
(including networking in the Vestry Hall and Church Hall), increased flexibility in the
church so that video and sound equipment can be relocated to different parts of the
church, and future-proofed both the network and AV {AudioNideo), enabling future
expansion. Finally, they increased the cloud-based capability of the church office,
improving both flexibility and security, all supported by a support partner that actively
manages our security and availability of digital seNices. This was a major project for
the Church, one that puts us in a healthy position for the age we are in, and we are
grateful to the Network Project team for all their hard work in this achievement.
In August, a particularly happy day was 10 when Chris Wilson and his fiancée
Zillah got married in Winchester. A number of the Church family were able to
participate in this event through it being livestreamed into the Church Hall. We are so
pleased for the happy couple and have enjoyed welcoming Zillah into the Church
family.
During the Summer, some members of our Church family were able to benefit from
Christian holidays including New Wine, Brymore and Keswick. For those who
remained, we were able to offer a full pattern of Sunday servi￿8 as we continued to
look at Luke in the morning, and some of the Psalms of Ascent in the afternoon
service.
The third and final phase of the Church year began in September. We decided to
continue studying Luke's gospel in the morning, since people had been finding it so
profitable, and turned in the afternoon to less familiar territory - 1 and 2 Kings - as
we saw human wickedness and God's gra￿.
A group of around 30 men went for a weekend together called 'Contented' at The
Pines in Coldwaltham. The theme was 'Living like stars for God, and many found this
to be a really helpful time, where friendships started or deepened, some great talks
were given and many honest conversations had. This weekend marked the
beginning of Nat Gillett's leadership of the men's ministry in the Church.
Later in the same month, Morag Martin spoke on the theme of 'Faithfulness and
Fruitfulness, at a women's breakfast. We were so grateful to Fernanda Curtis for all
that she has contributed to our ministry to women over many years and wish her and
her family well as she has started a new ministry in a Church in Cambridgeshire. The
leadership of the Women Together ministry is now in the hands of an experienced
committee, one that has warmly welcomed Morag to the team.

A new Alpha course started in late September, run by Ben Martin and some
volunteers from Church and it was good that a number of genuine enquirers signed
up. and have benefitted from the course.
We were pleased by the number of children from Reception Year at St Margaret's
School who came with their families to a party at the Rectory in September and pray
for fruitful links with them over the next 7 years.
Ben Martin ran the first 'Parenting Together 'evening, one which aims to gather
parents from across the Church family to see how they can learn from one another in
parenting their children well, and in a Godly way. This is going to be a regular feature
of our ministry going foNard,
We were grateful to the mission committee for all they do to promote the work of
overseas mission, including monthly inputs, prayer and special events throughout the
year, including a coffee morning for the Guiness family. and a cream tea to promote
MAF.
October was another busy month, including a Homegroup leaders training morning, a
men's breakfast with Nat Gillett setting out his vision for the work, an organ recital,
service to bring comfort and hope to those who have been bereaved, and a teaching
series for women. This is in addition to all the regular activities and 5 funerals. The
month finished off with a large crowd of children and their parents who came for a
Light Party - a Christian alternative to Halloween - run by Ben Martin and a team of
volunteers.
There was no reduction in pace in November, with a course called 'The Bereavement
Journey, starting up. Nat Gillett started a football evening on Monday nights in order
for Church men to invite their unchurched friends to a social event, rather than a
service or upfront evangelistic event. This has made a good start. We also had our
2nd Newcomers Supper of the year, and 27 (including staffj attended. We led the Act
of Remembrance in the village, and hundreds attended, which was heartening. We
responded, we hope. constructively to the news about the resignation of the
Archbishop of Canterbury this month, emphasising the very high priority we give to
safeguarding at st Margaret's. A small group went to be part of the Sussex Gospel
Partnership annual conference on the theme of'Heaven',
November is the month when we encourage the Church family to review their
financial giving to meet our ministry needs in the coming year. We were delighted by
the response of the Church family, which led to an extra £37,000 of giving. This gives
us great Confiden￿ as we move forward to 2025, and into the future.
At our Church Council in November, we approved the appointment of an 18-year-old
Joel Nicholl to serve as a volunteer ministry trainee and have been thrilled to see
what a blessing this had been to us, and to him. We also heard about some of the
draft conclusions of a report into the role and responsibilities of Churchwardens
big issue that many churches are wrestling with. Lastly, we started to discuss the
various options we have regarding the use of a property known as 'The Vestry
Cottage, which has now become vacant after almost 25 years. Our Council remains
thoughtful. prayerful, purposeful and energetic. We are blessed to have them serving
in this way.

December has been an extraordinarily busy months, with 1,605 adults and 333 under
16s recorded as attending services in the month, This excludes a huge crowd that
visited the Church on the 'Angmering at Christmas, organised by the parish council at
the beginning of the month. It was fantastic to see so many people coming and
particular sources of joy were the Carols by Candlelight, the atmosphere at the
Nativity and the large number of new faces at the Midnight Communion service. Also,
it was good to add to those numbers years 1 to 6 of our Church School who came
down for Christmas SeN[￿S, and Christmas events run by Cameo, Adventurers,
Rooted, Sunday Roast, Creating Company and Evergreen. We were glad too to be
invited to take Christmas carol services at local care homes and Ham Manor Golf
Club. Finally, it was good to hear of home-grown initiatives, like carol singing by
people in the area they live in, and a 'Carols by the Green, on one of our newer
estates in the village
There was so much for which to give God thanks throughout the whole year, and not
least December.
As we look fO￿ard into 2025, we take great confidence from God remaining faithful
to that promise shared back in January - for God's presence to go with us, and to
give us his rest. We know that promise will remain true in 2025, and so we look
fO￿ard to..
continuing to work deeply amongst all under 18s - that they may know, love
and follow Christ.,
supporting and equipping parents in their vital role of nurturing their children
in Christ.
encouraging us all to be more outward focussed in reaching our contacts, and
praying that they might turn to Christ;
building on the links that have already begun to be established amongst the
people who've moved into the new builds - that they may be intrigued by
Christ, willing to explore him, and come to know Him.
working amongst men and women - to see what we can do best separately
and together;
continuing to reach out to those over 60 that they may know Christ and the
life and hope that there is in him before their life here on earth ends.
We pray for God's grace that we might see more fruit in 2025, to God's glory.

Every five years the consecrated and benefI￿d church property is inspected by the diocese and any necessary
maintenance work identified. An inspection was carried out in 2024 and the cost of the work that needs to be

Maintenance of Churchyard Fund - The restricted churchyard fund was created to help with the maintenance of
the churchyard, graves and grave stones. Annually a letter is sent to those families with relatives buried in the
churchyard requesling donations towards the maintenance of their graves.
All Youth Activities Fund - The restricted all youth activities fund was created by donations from within the church
family, legacies and grants for the Christian education and benefit of the youth within the parish. It includes the
balance of a legacy for children's activities on a Sunday and, from 2023, the Rectorfs Discretionary Fund for
Youth, which was previously part of Sl Margare't Angmering Trust.
Fabric Fund - This fund was established in 2023 as a result of receiving a legacy, the use of which was restricted
to the fabric of St Margaret's Church in Angmering.
Reverend Penny Giles Memorial Trust Fund - This fund was established some years ago as part of Sl Margaret's
Angmering Trust to continue and to develop Penny Giles, vision for Christian Mission and her love for people in
our community, both in the church family and of Angmering more widely. It was transferred to the PCC in 2023.
Financial or Other Support Fund (formerly the Rectorfs Discretionary Fund) - This fund was established in the
year as a result of receiving a grant of £74.951 for the Rector's Discretionary Fund from a Trust Fund containing
the residuary estate of a late church member. In previous years the Rector's Discretionary Fund was held by the
Rector and not included in these accounts. The unspent balance still held by the Rector (£3,376) has been
transferred to the PCC and included in donations.The name of the fund has now been changed to reflect the
purpose and practice of the fund which is to provide financial or other support to the disabled son of the late
church member, to those connected with St Margaret's Church in Angmering and for Gospel projects in
Angmering and the local area.

based on current levels of charitable income, the PCC expects required expenses will be fully funded on an
annual basis or from available reserves.

Mark Standen are trustees. During the year £7,152 (2023.. £6,810) was donated to this charity for St Margaret's
Church of England Primary School.
16 Penslon Scheme

of which are classed as defined benefit schemes. The PCC participates in the Pension Builder 2014 section.

Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum that members use to provide benefits
at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. Discretionary bonuses may be
added before retirement, depending on investment returns and other faclors. The account, plus any bonuses
declared, is payable, unreduced, from age 65.
There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme.
The Scheme is considered to be 8 multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This is
because it is not possible lo attribute the Pension Builder Scheme's assels and liabilities to specific employers
and means that contributions are accounted for as if Ihe Scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The
pension costs charged to the SOFA in Ihe year are the contributions payable of £3,541 (2023.. £3,208).
A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is carried out once every Ihree years. The most recent was carried out
at 31 De￿mber 2022. The next valuation is due al 31 December 2025. For the Pension Builder 2014 section, the
Valuation al 31 December 2022 revealed a surplus of £8.5m on the ongoing assumptions used. There is no
requirement for deficit payments at the current time.
The legal structure of the Scheme is such that if another employer fails, the PCC could become responsible for
paying a share of that employer's pension liabilities.
