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”
I would like to 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 120 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, organising multiple rotas, helping plan and arrange all that is needed in a busy and growing parish is amazing. Thank you.
Our church wardens have been amazing too. Carolyn, you have been such a source of encouragement, wisdom and love this last year to all of us. To meet with you and the staff team each week to pray, encourage and support one another has been a delight. So many people don’t see all you do behind the scenes, so thank you for your faithfulness, prayerfulness and dedication. Paul, it has been a delight to work alongside you as our Church warden too, your wisdom, your prophetic insights, your willingness to be Woolie the sheep too is a joy, thank you.
I want to thank the whole of our PCC for their prayerful and wise support throughout the year. Can I give a special thanks to Serreta for the immense amount you do on Safeguarding (we were commended as a model to others by the Archdeacon’s visitation) and can I thank Karl deeply too who has stepped in as Treasurer this year and done an amazing job, thank you.
Can I thank Tony Wingrave personally too, for the immense amount that he does to maintain and repair things around the Church, at 247 Leagrave High Street, and in other parishioners’ homes too. Malcolm and Tony keep the gardens round the Church looking good too, please have a word with them if you would like to help out.
We have worked hard this year to try and come up with a scheme and a schedule of works to refurbish 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!
It has been a joy to prayer walk each week with a number of men in the Church family at St Hugh’s and we have seen the Lord answer many of our prayers. It has been great to have Pastor James and Nam Hee lead us in prayer each morning from 6-8am and a joy to hear many stories of commitments to Christ on the streets of Luton.
We have run two Alpha groups this year, one in our home and one in Nicola’s. Both have been hugely encouraging and it has been wonderful to see people coming to Christ and continuing in our Deeper LifeGroup as a result too. We look forward to another Alpha course and the Marriage course starting in June.
One of the Highlights for me this year has got to have been the Easter Celebration where 6 people got baptised by full immersion, to hear their testimonies and to see them growing in their love and faith has been a joy, especially some of our Young people.
It was great to be part of the Lewsey Community Festival last summer too. The cakes and crafts in the Messy Church tent were really appreciated and there was a continuous stream of people who came to the Prayer tent too. The Music Academy band played and the Community Choir performed well on the main stage which was hugely appreciated by many.

Some of the new initiatives that we have launched since coming to St Hugh’s have been the Music and Worship Academy, Body and Soul, Community Café, Men’s Breakfasts 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 35 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 hours of prayer and hard work that you have poured into this. 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; the Calm course has been hugely appreciated this term. 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, is an amazing blessing.
The Men’s Breakfasts each month have been a great time for friendship and for our walk with the Lord to deepen.
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 Christmas and Harvest assemblies too at Icknield and Ferrars. Please continue to pray for opportunities to open up at Chantry, Southfield and Chalk Hills too in the coming year.
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.
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 “Stronger Together” at Stopsley Baptist on Pentecost Sunday 28[th] May at 7.
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.

Trustee's Annual Report
Wardens Report
Despite the many difficulties we are facing in the world today, St Hugh’s has had an exciting year. We have continued many successful activities, but also launched exciting new ones.
While so many people participate and volunteer and help keep the church running, we have to thank our fantastic team of staff who have contributed so much to the success of St Hugh’s activities and missions. Nicola, who constantly inspires with her faith and enthusiasm as well as her love of the kids and all in the church family. Jarrod and Marissa who have been so diligent and are often the backbone of all our activities, as well as talented members of our worship team. Lorna, for her tireless work behind the scenes and for keeping the church looking immaculate. And of course, Martyn, who is always prayerful and encouraging to all in their journey through faith.
We also would like to thank Serreta, for her diligence in taking care of the church safeguarding and making our church a safe place for all. The safeguarding practice that Serreta has put into place also got a special commendation during the Archdeacon’s visitation as the best practice they had seen.
This year, we celebrated the Lewsey Festival, the Jubilee weekend and the Queen’s birthday. Sadly, only a few months later we opened our doors to mourn the death of her Majesty.
As part of the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations, we participated in the Queen’s Green Canopy project when we planted over 40 fruit trees in the church grounds – most of which are growing well.
This year, we have seen the launch of two exciting new projects. We have Body and Soul for women, which runs every Tuesday night and includes an evening of fun and varied exercise as well an inspiring talk, including the recent Joyskills Calm Course. Also, the Men’s Breakfast which runs once a month on a Sunday morning and includes a breakfast, a talk, worship and prayer.
The Worship Academy continues to go from strength to strength with 38 students and 4 teachers - and a waiting list to join!
Tuesday Together has been one of our ongoing successes in the church. Participants can enjoy a crafts morning, followed by Holy Communion and a cooked lunch. To add to its success, this year, St Hugh’s has become part of the Warm Space Initiative which we have incorporated into the Tuesday Together Program, Community Cafe and Tiddlers. Community Cafe has re-opened on a Wednesday morning with an enthusiastic team of volunteers providing a fantastic breakfast at a really low cost. Tiddlers continues to be incredibly popular, run by Liz Murray and Nicola, and provides activities for pre-schoolers and their parents or carers.
Messy Church is run by Nicola and Marissa, assisted by some volunteers, and has been a growing success. Crafts, stories and songs around a Christian theme enjoyed by all. The Messy Fun Days that take place around the school holidays have also been well attended and enjoyed by families across the parish.
On Shrove Tuesday, we had a Pancake Party which saw Martyn successfully toss some pancakes for the second year in a row. This was followed, the next day, by an Evening Service on Ash Wednesday.

Trustee's Annual Report
Christmas this year, was filled with celebration and activity. As well as the usual services, we hosted the Christmas lunch, crafts and craft fair and we contributed a large number of shoe boxes to the Samaritans Purse appeal.
This Easter was an amazing celebration of what Jesus did for us on the cross. We had the Passover meal on Thursday and on Good Friday we had an evening, all-age service outside around the cross – with a fire pit and toasted marshmallows. We also had the Easter Sunday service with six baptisms and some powerful testimonies, telling of people’s journey with Christ, this was followed by hot cross buns for all and some delicious food cooked by Esther, Jamie and Zoe’s mum.
There is a lot to report on the building and building maintenance over the last year. Tony, who has been so diligent in maintenance over the years, worked with Martyn to clear the roof, improve the drainage and cover it with sealant. The hall boiler has been serviced and the flue repaired. We are now also moving towards upgrading the toilets with new cisterns and a disabled portable toilet unit has been purchased. The main toilets are to be refurbished and the single toilet will be changed into a children’s only toilet.
We look forward to another exciting year at St Hugh’s which will include the celebration of the King’s Coronation – afternoon tea as well as games, family activities and an inflatable assault course. Also, look out for the St Hughs Staycation weekend at the end of September.
We pray that we continue to move together in unity, and that as we grow as a church family, we go wider and go deeper as a house of prayer for all nations.
Future Plans 2024
To recruit a new family and children’s worker To continue to develop the pastoral care team at St Hugh’s
To multiply and provide good alpha and life groups for anyone who wants to explore faith and go deeper To develop our Community Café as a warm hub for those in need in our community
To continue to strengthen our Music and Worship academy for young people and adults in the community To do a feasibility study and launch a faith based multi-Sports academy in 2024 making sport available for all To continue to provide Messy Church and Messy Fun days for anyone in our local community To provide Marriage and parenting courses to build stronger families To get trained up CAP Money coaches to provide better budgeting skills locally

Reserves Policy
It is the reserves policy of St Hugh’s PCC to hold in reserves the equivalent of three months general running costs and an additional three month’s salary costs. It is also our policy to hold an amount for building works at the next quinquennial inspection of £30k. This policy will be reviewed annually.
The total unrestricted reserves held by the Church at the end of December 2022 were £84,241. This level of reveres is higher than the desirable reserves listed above.
Any remaining grant funds given for specific projects like the Music academy will be returned to donors if the project stops.
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
Labilities 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.
