## St Peter’s Church, PCC **Year Ended 31 December 2023**
## **Church Attendance**
The names of 103 Members appear on the Church Electoral Roll of whom 61 were not resident within the parish.
In person attendance of services ranges from high eighties to over 100, with a handful of households and a group at a local residential home participating in services by Zoom. A few members of the church family who are housebound and not able to join services online appreciate the delivery of weekly printed orders of service and sermon notes.
## **Review of the Year**
## **Meetings**
St Peter’s PCC held 1 APCM and 6 meetings during 2023.
## **Mission**
The church continues to attract new members, both believers and enquirers, particularly from those moving into the area. The PCC continued to support and pray for our mission links: Serving In Mission (SIM), People International (PI) and Crosslinks and Release International.
## **Youth work**
The children and youth benefit from Sunday Bible Classes; occasional games nights for SPY (11 to 14 year olds); and a study group, CY, for 14 to 18 year olds.
.
As usual, a gift of Bibles was made to all year 6 pupils at St Peter’s School at the time of their transfer to secondary school. At the suggestion of the new headteacher at the school, bibles were also bought for the remainder of the school so that the children could get used to using them in class.
## **Evangelism and Worship**
The vicar Mike Warren, the assistant minister Phil Peddar and the church family work together to spread the gospel in the parish and to strengthen adult and youth teaching. Door-knocking in the parish, under the leadership of Phil Peddar, has led to new people attending services.
## **Community**
- St Peter’s School Governors **:** Mike Warren & Phil Peddar.
- A number of church members continued to serve the community in a quiet and godly way, at Sherborne Close, and in other local charities, ministering in sheltered housing and nursing homes.
## **Administration**
The church was well supported by Lourdes Bragg and Lindsey Sumpter in administrative matters. The role included secretarial support for the Vicar, managing church hall lettings, record-keeping, purchasing supplies. The church management system, ChurchBuilder, continues to be beneficial for various administrative functions and, importantly, provides security of data.
## **Church Fabric, Maintenance**
The church buildings were kept in good order by the Church Wardens, Richard Akehurst and Martin Maplesden. Ian Cochrane continues his many years of service maintaining the grounds, clocks and overseeing the condition of the bells in the tower.

## **Policies & Risk Management**
## **Safeguarding Policies**
The Safeguarding Policy and associated procedures continue to be reviewed and updated in accordance with guidance from Diocese and National Safeguarding Team. The Parish Safeguarding Officer is Michele Burgess. All adults working with children and/or adults who may be vulnerable are recruited according to the Safer Recruitment Policy, including the appropriate DBS checks, carried out by Rachel Fromow.
## **Health & Safety**
The PCC has a policy on Health & Safety which is reviewed regularly by the PCC and communicated to users of the halls and church buildings.
## **Reserves Policy**
The PCC aim to hold three months operating expenditure in unrestricted funds. of bibles for the whole of St Peter’s Primary School.
After deduction of annual expenditure totaling £160,010 the Church achieved a surplus of £27,065 boosted by the above special donations. The surplus in the General Fund however was much lower at £9,163 and given current operating costs it is evident finances rely heavily on credit interest from the cash deposits.
## **Review of financial activities**
As expected the Church accounts reverted to near normal levels of activity in the 12 months to 31 December 2023. The previous year had been dominated by receipt of £971,000 profit arising from the sale of the former St Peter’s School Playground. Reflecting the exceptional nature of this transaction the Charity Commission exempted the PCC from the requirement to present audited accounts and instead agreed the annual review could remain subject to Independent Examination.
Total income in the 12 months to 31 December 2023 was £187,075. Income for 2022 was £1,116,901 however, if the proceeds from the sale of the playground were stripped out the figure would have been £145,000. The improvement in 2023 was solely due to receipt of £46,501 credit interest arising from the PCC’s deposit of £1,007,900 with The CBF Church of England Deposit Fund. This deposit account is currently earning 5.25% pa interest which is being added to the capital sum quarterly.
Regular giving through standing orders was down £5,458 to £55,837 (£61,295 in 2022) but income from the use of the Church buildings saw an improvement of £1,710 over the year.
There were £15,393 additional donations given for specific purposes. A generous donation of £10,000 designated by the PCC for the training and development of members of the Church and gifts totaling £1,935 restricted to fund the purchase The autumn church missionary appeal raised £6,884 (excluding gift aid) and this sum was dispersed among St Peter’s mission partners in December.
## **Funds**
In 2022 £900,000 from the sale of the playground was transferred to a new Fund designated by the PCC to be used to refurbish the Church building and assist with projects aimed at growing the body and representation of St Peter’s in Hawkenbury. In 2023 £11,642 was spent on architect’s fees drawing up preliminary plans which has led to the identification of essential works to the Church heating and electrical systems together with making spaces more

accessible. Planning continues but the PCC has initially allocated £500,000 of the Development Fund to complete this work.
The Gordon Lavy Fund (£10,000) is restricted specifically to assist with the cost of refurbishing the Church foyer. It is expected this money will be used when the Church refurbishment programme commences.
As at 31 December 2023 the unrestricted General Fund was £173,151 up from £150,337 at the end of 2022. This figure provides more than adequate cover for normal operating costs and significantly above the PCC’s policy of holding three months’ operating expenditure in unrestricted reserves.
## **2024 Budget**
A budget for the General Fund in 2024 takes a conservative view of income and expenditure and forecasts a surplus of £4,000. Income is assumed to remain steady but with a fall in credit interest reflecting possible transfers out of the main deposit account to pay for the start of refurbishment works in the Autumn. Expenditure meanwhile is expected to rise by circa 5 % to cover general price rises.
Without credit interest the Church would see a deficit of circa £30,000. The PCC is fully aware the church redevelopment programme needs to be carefully costed and planned to ensure there will be enough capital available to generate income sufficient to meet future operating expenses. Meanwhile efforts are being made to investigate grants and encourage an improvement in regular giving.
## **Other matters**
Stewardship, London is responsible for the staff payroll; their duties also include making sure tax and pension payments are made.
Considering the financial position of the charity at 31 December 2023, the expected income and expenditure for 2024 and current level of unrestricted general reserves, the members of the PCC believe that it is appropriate to consider the charity a going concern from the date of the approval of the accounts.
The Trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the 2006 Charities Act to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
