Trustee's Annual Report

Vicar’s Report

“We want to become a House of prayer for all nations and a loving family of all nations”

Wow what a first year it has been at St Hugh’s! Thank you again for your loving welcome and for the joy that it has been to start to get to know so many of the Church family at St Hugh’s more deeply and to see the Lord at work in us, amongst us and through us this year.

Can I start by thanking Nicola, Marissa and Jarrod who have been a joy to work with this year. So many of the things you do behind the scenes each week go completely unseen but they are seen by the Lord. There have been challenges on health, on finances and on family too but you have all been an absolute delight to work with as we have launched new initiatives and reached out with the good news to our local community. To see Tuesday Together grow and develop into such a friendly and supportive community, to see Tiddlers full to overflowing on a Thursday and to have over 130 families from the local community come to some of the Messy fun days you have put together is hugely exciting and I know has taken huge amounts of work from you and the teams you have developed too.

Jarrod, your unstinting hard work in the office in setting up ChurchSuite, organising multiple rotas, remembering 101 things that need organising in a busy and growing parish is amazing. Thank you.

Jennifer and Carolyn, you have been such a source of encouragement, wisdom and love this last year. To meet with you and the staff team each week to pray, encourage and support one another has been a delight. Jennifer, thank you for the many times that you have given such insightful and much needed advice and counsel. I hope and pray for a restful next few month of sabbatical and that the Lord fully heals and restores you in every way. Thank you again for all you have done.

We had a great leadership away day in July last year in Peter and Anne’s Garden where the Lord blessed us with beautiful weather. One of the things that I remember from that day was the theme of the Lord raising up new things from the dust, that the Lord can and will raise up a warrior army in seemingly impossible situations and places.

It has been a joy to prayer walk with a number of people in the Church family at St Hugh’s and we have seen the Lord answer many of our prayers already. Over 35 of us prayer walked around large sections of the parish in the build up to Christmas and it was a joy to be involved in leading a couple of united Prayer walks around the Runfold parish near Gemma’s house too in the new year. I am so excited by the things the Lord has in store for us this coming year. The ancient well is beginning to open again in fresh ways, we are increasingly becoming a loving church family of all nations and increasingly a house of prayer for all nations and for all of our community too. To be joined recently by Pastor James and his lovely wife Nam Hee from South Korea and to see our daily times of prayer really developing is such a great sign of new life to come.

Seeing the Jubilee trees planted and many of them beginning to bud is not just a beautifully ecological way of celebrating the Queen’s platinum jubilee, but it is also a prophetic sign that there will be fresh fruitfulness in the future that will bless the whole of our community. Jennifer, Tony and Jarrod, thank you for all your hard work with others too in making this happen. We are so thrilled that we will be able to prayerfully invite many families, neighbours, and members of our local community to the Jubilee Messy Fun day on 4th June and our Royal BBQ too on Sat 4th June too. Hopefully we will have 70 or more Jubilee Red, White and Blue Flowers made by then as a sign of joy and celebration too.

We have worked hard this year to try and come up with a scheme and a schedule of works to re-furbish our toilets and to ensure our disabled toilets are larger and compliant with the disability act. It has been a struggle to get quotes out of local builders and plumbers and some of the ones they have come back with have been prohibitively high. Please continue to bear with us as we try and move this forward in a way that best stewards the generous gifts that have been given so far. We will get there!

Some of the new initiatives that we have prayerfully launched this year has been the Music and Worship Academy, Body and Soul, Men’s Curry Night and Tuesday Together. It has been a joy to see the Lord take each of these visions and initiatives that He laid on different people’s hearts and grow them for His glory. Over 20 students are coming each week to the Academy and we now have 4 tutors with more coming on board. Thank you, Dionne, for the many many hours of prayer and hard work that you have poured into this and a special thanks too to Lily who has done a great job as the Academy administrator. We really look forward to hearing the Academy band and the community choir at the

Jubilee weekend and at the Lewsey Farm Festival on 25th June too. The laughter, joy and loving support that is enjoyed each week at Body and Soul is such a credit to the loving leadership of Liz, Jackie, Ruth and Monika. Over 40 come regularly each week to Tuesday Together and to see the buzz of conversation around the table as crafting takes place, to see people who have never come to church before enjoy the time of communion and then a lovely lunch too. The Men’s Curry night at the social club in Lewsey Park went well too with Alan West delivering a great talk about his footballing career and how he came to faith and the impact that has had on his life.

Other highlights for me have been to see the doors re-opening into our local schools after quite a bit of time and prayer. Nicola spoke superbly to all of year 2 children at Ferrars school at Christmas and I really enjoyed a couple of Harvest assemblies too. Please continue to pray for opportunities to open up at Chantry, Southfield and Chalk Hills too.

It has been a joy this year to take Communion to the residents at Applegrove and to share this ministry with Rev Cathy Pullinger too. Thank you, Cathy, for all the pastoral care you bring and for your loving leadership at Tuesday Together too. The Christmas Carol service at Applegrove was a great joy with over 30 joining us.

It has been a joy to lead Alpha with Carolyn and Barbara B. Friendships have gone deeper, the discussions around the tables have been fabulous and relationships with the Lord have started and deepened.

It has been good to grow and build increasing partnership and prayerful relationships with lots of other Church leaders across Luton. The monthly prayer meeting is really inspiring and well attended, and we look forward to Uniting together with our brothers and sisters in Christ for “Back Stronger” at Stopsley Baptist on Pentecost Sunday at 7. Rob Parsons from Care for the family will be an amazing speaker. It has been a joy to have a Filipino fellowship come and meet each Sunday afternoon at St Hugh’s and what a joy it was to join with Philip and Bola and their Nigerian fellowship for Easter Together too. What a joy it was to see 5 people baptised by Immersion on Easter Sunday!

There isn’t time or space to mention everything that the Lord has done this year. I do believe that as we grow in love and unity as we increasingly become a house of prayer for all nations, we will see us reaching people from all nations and backgrounds in our community with the Love of Christ.

And so may the God of all the Nations come and give us fresh fruitfulness and favour, may the God of jubilee come and fill us with Joy and freedom as we celebrate that we are debt free! May the God of all Hope fill us with joy as we Trust in Him and love one another. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Wardens Report

This past year has seen us start to cautiously emerge from 3 lockdowns and begin to meet in person, continuing to wear face masks in order to protect our more vulnerable members. We said goodbye to Alan Millard and welcomed his wife, Jennifer, as a churchwarden for this next chapter.

Gemma Williams moved into an exciting new career and so we welcomed Jarrod Ross as our administrator. Amanda Greenman became our new church treasurer and Martyn Shea, our new vicar, was able to start meeting people instead of seeing a gallery of faces on zoom.

Our planned Freedom Day celebration, in June, had to be postponed as we went back into a 3rd lockdown. But, once again, we all gradually emerged, gently moving back into Sunday Worship and various groups and meetings.

The staff are to be commended for their efforts in having kept in contact with so many of the congregation, caring for those in need in very practical ways, shopping, food parcels, pharmacy collections etc.

Martyn has encouraged us to deepen our faith and reach out.

Stuart Moore, Dionne Shand and Liz Shea have been instrumental in raising up our worship team again and it's been lovely to see the young people and children taking part too.

Most people are back in church now although we are still operating zoom for those who feel they need to remain at home. Tuesday Together (craft morning 10am-12pm, 12pm communion service, 1pm lunch) has proved to be very popular and appreciated.

Seretta has done a really excellent job with safeguarding our church family and children. It can be really difficult at times, but she has handled it all with sensitivity and a caring, yet professional manner.

The leaky church roof has been successfully treated with waterproofing paint, but may need more attention.

The church boiler has been replaced and 2 new radiators installed, with the hall boiler to be attended to next. Our fire protection is being updated and plans are under way to refurbish the toilets. Various building maintenance jobs are being attended to.

The kitchen had a targeted deep clean, leading to us being rewarded with the highest standard of 5 out of 5 from the council inspector.

Tony and Malcolm have kept our gardens neat and tidy. Lorna has kept the church building clean and covid free. The fabric committee, Tony and Alan with Martyn, have been very busy.

The finance committee under Amanda's trustworthy and faithful care have also been busy.

A Worship Academy has been established, and although still in its trial period, it is proving popular.

Body and Soul has also been established this year, and is valued greatly by those who attend. Tiddlers is back, for which many mums are grateful.

This year we have been holding 2 Alpha groups, and we are planning to expand our Youth Ministry under Gemma Milligan and Lily Wingrave's reliable care.

We have been so pleased to be able to gather together more often, starting with Sunday morning services in the vicarage garden, Tuesday Together with its lunches, the pancake party, tree planting, passover meal, Easter weekend celebrations including a fire pit by the cross in the front garden, to name just a few.

In order to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, in June, we chose to take part in her green canopy initiative and have planted 40 plus small fruit trees around the border of our front garden. We have an official brass plaque to be mounted on the wall outside. We are preparing to 'plant ' 70 red, white and blue upcycled flowers over that weekend, in a similar manner to the thousands of poppies at the Tower of London.

Trustee's Annual Report

It has been a very busy year, and the church wardens would like to thank the staff team of Martyn, Nicola, Marissa, and Jarrod who have all worked extremely hard behind the scenes - much of which is not seen by the majority.

Thank you, also to all of you who volunteer, without whom we would not be able to function so well. You are valuable to us and very much appreciated.

Jennifer and I would particularly like to thank our Vicar, Martyn Shea.

He is a man of vision, with a good sense of practicality and an extremely caring heart for his flock. Martyn is truly a gift from God our Father, to us.

Trustees’ Responsibilities

The 2011 Charities Act require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to:-

• Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.

• Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.

• Prepare financial statements on the ongoing concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the trust will continue in existence.

• State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the trust. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (Charities SORP 2019 FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Assessment of Going Concern

Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have set aside resources for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or the term of specific appeal, often know as a ‘special offering’ in the church.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.

Incoming Resources

All incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable that the resources will be received, and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.

• All voluntary income from members of the church are recognised as donations and are included in full, with associated Gift Aid receivable in the Statement of Financial Activities.

• Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of specific performance by the charity are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.

• Income resources from charitable trading activities such as the letting of the building are accounted for when invoices are drawn up (as the point of entitlement).

• Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified.

• Gifts in Kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised.

• Volunteer time, the value of voluntary support for the work of the church is not included in the accounts but is described in the Trustees Annual Report.

• Investment Income is included in the accounts when receivable.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Governance Costs

Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of the trustees' meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.

Liability Recognition

Abilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.

Tangible fixed assets

All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and at historic cost. Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged on furniture and equipment which is written off on a straight-line basis over time estimated useful live of the asset.

Freehold property 4% Straight Line Fixtures and fittings 25% Straight Line

Consecrated land and beneficial property is excluded from the financial statements by section 96(2) (a) of the Charities Act 1993. No value is placed on movable church furnishings held by the Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC. The PCC considers this to be inalienable property.

Pensions

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

Operating Leases

Rental charges payable under operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over the terms of the lease.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
