This includes 12 new members and 5 removals. Thanks to LW. ## **Election of PCC members** There were four vacancies for PCC being 3 for three years and 1 for two years. Nevertheless CS added that since the electoral roll is over 100 we are allowed to elect up to twelve PCC members* There were five nominations:- Lisa Adkins, Suzanne Lundie, Lorraine Williams, Julie Thurman-Newell and Paul Harrison.

CS thanked Brian for all his work. The accounts were accepted and signed. ## **Safeguarding Co-ordinator** Denise Burring agreed to continue as Safeguarding Officer. **DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) officer for HTM** Kaye Nightingale was willing to continue with this role. **Parish Nursing** Margaret Edwards, our Parish Nurse, has been re-validated for a further three years.

PCC Treasurer Brian Portanier Hon. PCC Secretary Rosemary Griffiths Electoral Roll Officer Lorraine Williams Safeguarding Officer Denise Burring Church DBS Officer Kaye Nightingale Health and Safety Officer Nick Burring - •The Standing Committee will consist of the Vicar, one Churchwarden, the Treasurer and Suzanne Lundie. •It was unanimously agreed that we engage the services of Dudley Gore and Co. Ramsgate to be our Independent Examiner for 2022. Item for information and discussion ## **The Memorial Garden** CS has applied for three quotes. 1. Jacksons: - £7,000 +VAT for fencing. As no site visit carried out this could be more. 2. Albion Fencing: - £8,500 +VAT for everything other than the removal of any tree roots that may be found. 3. “Clint”: - £13,500 ## **Funding for the memorial garden Fund** We have quite a lot of money from other sources which could be transferred to the Memorial Garden Fund (eg tree work surplus). Nicks company have donated £500. We have recently received a legacy. We can’t do anything until we have a fence. After discussion it was therefore proposed by CS, seconded by NB and agreed unanimously that we use £5,000 of available funds, Nick’s company donation of £500 and a recent legacy of £5,000 (PM) and go ahead with the quote from Albion Fencing. (In addition two reconditioned benches have been donated (one to preschool). The donor is willing to give us some more benches when they are ready. AF mentioned another way of raising money. The “Widows Mite” fund has been set up as an opportunity for people in the community to buy into their local church. More details when available.) **The meeting closed with the sharing of the grace.** ## **REPORTS 2022 Annual Fabric Report 2022** **----- Start of picture text -----**

## _**Michael Jarvis**_ ## **PCC Report 2022** The PCC met nine times in 2022, plus the APCM and a short meeting to appoint PCC officers. All start with a bible reading and prayer. Areas of discussion always included finance (especially the Parish Share) and a finance report for information and discussion is received from the Treasurer. Reports are received regularly from sub-committees with Fabric and maintenance featuring heavily. A report is received from the Parish Nurse and many aspects of church life and work are also discussed. ## **January** Document received from Diocese “Demystifying Parish Share” was discussed (a copy was posted on the noticeboard). We looked at the distribution of finance to cover costs at HT. New plans for the redesign of the memorial garden introduced. Guidelines received from the Diocese regarding social media and its use were discussed and adopted. Tree work to be done next month following the tree survey. ## **February** Due to the increased workload in the halls complex, generated by additional bookings and usage, it was decided to increase an employees hours by 5hrs and to also to employ a Dementia Co-ordinator for 30 hrs p/w. Information received on trees, the state of the main door (wooden frames rotting) and installation of a fire alarm bell in Church. ## **March** The selected trees were duly felled. More electrical work anticipated. Diocesan Synod held an open meeting in March which was well attended. Attendees were encouraged to share stories of encouragement from their parishes. Changes to the administration of Communion outlined post Covid. Individual small “glasses” to be purchased. ## **April** PCC received an update on Gift Aid which we had not received for some months. This was partly due to a lack of staff at the Diocese and also the intricacies as to what should be paid and when. The latest update given was that monies owed in Gift Aid to HTM for January and February would be paid sometime in April. A report from the Parish Nurse told us that the Thursday Fellowship group was particularly popular. Deanery Synod also met this month. ## **May** 26[th] APCM **.** Open Air Parade service held on May 22[nd] . ## **June** Update on Memorial Garden received. Fencing prices have increased. The Summer Fair was reviewed, and it was agreed that it was a good day with positive feedback. ## **July** Parish Nurse started Sit and Stay Fit classes. Deanery Synod met this month. Rural Churches was a topic of interest and information for part of the meeting. The fundraising committee had met, and we were given fundraising dates into 2023. We were made aware of the need for an EVAC chair. ## **August** No meeting. ## **September** New Parish Giving Scheme introduced and discussed. More information needed before anything decided. Quite a lot of fabric issues this month. Water leaks, window maintenance needed, Fire Door needing replacement, and we need to cut back on gas/electric as costs rising so quickly. Donation of £2,000 received. Dishwasher to be purchased. ## **October** After further discussion it was decided to accept the Diocesan Parish Giving Scheme. Fence installed in Memorial Garden. Next stage to be the erection of a memorial wall. Preparations underway for Christmas Fair. **November** More leaks found. Gutters unblocked. £500 raised at Christmas Fair. In the expected absence of a Treasurer PCC members set the new budget for 2023. ## _**Rosemary Griffiths**_ ## **Deanery Synod Report – 2022** Deanery Synod met four times in 2022 in March; June; September and November. In March the Synod was led by Archdeacon Andrew at St Andrews in St Peters. The theme was Generosity not only in money thinking about churches financial situations but also Generosity and Kindness to one another. The evening gave those present the opportunity to discuss this further in groups and give feedback. It is hoped that this can be shared across all churches in the Deanery. In June we met at Holy Trinity Broadstairs and the Synod was chaired by the Area Dean, Philip Musundi. There were two items covered during the evening. One led by Rev’d Seth Cooper who has been appointed the Bishop’s Adviser on Rural Affairs. His remit is to find out about the needs of Rural Churches and how they fit into their communities. The second item of the evening was led by Rev’d David Tate who is the Environmental Champion for the Deanery. He was encouraging churches to take the ‘A Rocha’ UK Survey to see if their church is meeting the Environmental Standards. He is hoping to get a volunteer from each church but understands the biggest hurdle for older churches are faculties. In September the Synod met at St Laurance Church in Ramsgate and was called the ‘Thanet Deanery Roadshow’ as a part of the ‘Diocese Autumn Roadshows.’ The evening started with ‘Dwelling in the Word’ session. Working together in small groups members had the opportunity to use this tool to read, discuss and reflect upon the Bible passages. Then followed a Powerpoint presentation led by Stephen Taylor linking our vision and finances to promote the Parish Giving Scheme. Treasurers were invited to participate and were given the chance to ask questions and give their views. Then lastly in November Worship was led by Paul Worledge. Maggie Paddison-Chapman gave a presentation on Schools Development for ACTS (Active Christianity in Thanet Schools). ACTS is a Member of Kent SACRE (Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education) and is a registered charity in England and Wales. There was time for discussion in small groups. ## _**Wendy James**_ ## **Diocesan Synod Report 2022** Synod met three times in 2022. **In March** the morning was open and the time was spent in small groups where we discussed 'Who is Jesus to you personally?' and 'Why is he worth telling others about?' There were the following presentations, Bishop Rose, who challenged us with her talk "We will continue to be faithful to the gospel because this is what it's all about." Generous Giving Adviser SJ Martin shared stories of abundance and generosity. Churchwarden and Treasurer Kathy talked about how the financial situation of her parish was completely transformed through local initiative the Widow's Mite Fund. Mission & Growth Adviser encouraged us to explore what 'missional church's looks like. Director of Communities & Partnerships shared how our diocese is working to support those most in need - and what more we can to to help those in and fleeing from Ukraine. The afternoon was the usual business of Synod on finance, General Synod and Archbishop's council. There was a short presentation from Neville Emslie Director of Mission and Ministry on Living in Love and Faith and financial update from Peter Wyllie, Chair of the Board of Finance who spoke about a 2% Stipend and Salary increase. Finally there was a discussion on the proposed changes to the Crown Nominations and Vacancy in See Committees ## **In June** Bishop Rose spoke on the Sermon on the Mount and what it teaches about how we should pray. She also highlighted Matthew 6 vv 19-20 and once again commended generous living. Not storing up treasurers on Earth. Where our treasures are there will our hearts be also. It was suggested that when we pray ‘Our daily bread’ we ask for sufficient for the day and let tomorrow take care of itself. We were given a presentation on the 2021 accounts and it was highlighted that in 2021 90.1% of all Parish Share was collected for which they were very grateful but it was pointed out that the outstanding 9.9% amounted to a shortfall of £830,000. If parishes can’t pay, the situation needs to be addressed either by finding out why and putting in place a plan to get such churches back on track, or to consider the future viability of such churches. There followed questions and discussion from the floor:- 1. Youth work in crisis, what can we do to address this? 2. The maintenance of Clergy housing. It was noted that the number of Curate Training places was being reduced and that this could be a false economy as it is becoming obvious to all that the reduction in clergy numbers is having a real impact on our Deaneries Bishop Rose challenged us by asking how many of us in our Parishes and Deaneries were identifying and encouraging those with the potential and calling to ministry, lay or ordained? ## **In November** Again the morning was an Open Synod with opening worship led by The Revd Canon Jeremy Law, (Dean of Chapel, CCCU) his Lay Chaplain and Cathrine Ngangira. The Presidential Address was given by Bishop Rose who spoke of the diversity of The Lambeth Conference and of inclusion, celebrating our differences rather than allowing them to divide us. Everyone, she said, should be seen and affirmed by God, no one should be excluded on the grounds of race, sexuality or gender, ‘It is God’s church, not yours, how dare you say to anyone ‘you are not welcome here’? There were presentations on ENGAGEMENT WITH THE LAMBETH CONFERENCE from Revd Cathrine Ngangira in person and from Bishop Hall Speers in Madagascar via a video. From Jonathan Arnold on OUR GERMAN PARTNERSHIPS and from Lucy Docherty of the World Council of Churches & General Synod reflecting on the 11th ASSEMBLY OF THE WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES HELD IN KARLSRUHE, GERMANY. The key issues discussed were Climate, Race and Sexuality. The afternoon was the usual business of Synod on finance, General Synod and Archbishop's council. ## **Deanery Synod election for 2023** We were asked, since each Deanery, moving forward, will be expected to take ownership of their own Mission and Outreach plans, to encourage those in our congregations with a heart and a passion for Mission and Outreach to stand to represent us on Deanery Synod. Environmental update. Environmental Officer Theresa Redfern, delivered the annual update on environmental matters? Diocese are still looking for people to represent each Deanery as Eco-champions and we were asked to ensure that eco and environmental issues be added as a regular agenda item for PCC. I should like to point out that after 18 years, I now feel the time is right for me to stand down as your Deanery Synod Representative and consequently I will also no longer be a member of Diocesan Synod. _**Ann Friedlos**_ ## **Home groups 2022** Currently we have two active home groups where we either explored the life of Abraham or studied individual Psalms. In addition there were two Psalms sessions in the church under the heading “ I saw three ships”. We were challenged in December to meet together in small groups for prayer, bible study and mutual encouragement. The way forward will need wider engagement and discussion. _**Colin Diaper**_ ## **Pastoral Care Team 2022** The basic ethos of the team going out into the community has altered due to the lasting effects of the pandemic, plus the team suffering their own personal journeys. So sadly the visits have paused, but telephone consultations go on in a confidential and hopefully reassuring way, either by myself or others on the team. I have also built a good working relationship with the Parish Nurse as requested by Rev Stocking, which has also covered the Friendship Group on a Thursday, many of whom do not attend HTM. I do ask as always if someone needs a call then please contact the church office or myself. _**Suzanne Lundie.**_ ## **Sunday School 2022** The Sunday School continued from September 2022 for two sessions every month, tracking the scripture readings in the main family service. Overall there are twelve children on our register and typical attendance is a handful of varying ages and backgrounds. Sessions are lively and reflect the varying composition of the groups leading to a brief discussion at the front of the church with Clifford or whoever else is leading the service. We value prayers about the continuance of this work. ## _**Colin Diaper**_ ## **Trinity Toddlers 2022** 2022 was a good year for Trinity Toddlers as we welcomed families back in January. We had a good mix of ages and for a few months had 4 or 5 babies in the baby area each week. It is great to see friendships developing between the parents and to welcome more grandparents including grandads who now come regularly. We said the usual goodbyes to children in the summer as they left us to go to school and nursery but numbers steadily increased during the autumn. Once again we enjoyed our Christmas party and going into the Church for the Nativity story told by Clifford who also handed out presents to the children. A particular thanks to Sylvia who provided a hamper of goodies for one of our families. My thanks go to Kaye and Barbara for their support during the year. _**Chris Diaper**_ ## **Sunday afternoon at HTM 2022** Our afternoon sessions re-started in September 2022. Overall we have 41 children on our register but attendance can fluctuate widely from seven to nineteen. A positive feature is the number of relations or interested parents who attend and the friendly discussions. Activities include boisterous games such as indoor hockey in the hall and a range of board games in the café. Tuck is served and a short bible based talk engages towards the end. Thanks to all the cheerful helpers, Ann, Lisa, Kirsty, Diane, Danny, Cathy, Chris and Clifford. We would love to provide an even greater variety of activities such as music or art and please support us in our prayers. ## _**Colin Diaper**_ ## **Cameo ( Come and Meet Each Other) Report for 2022)** In 2022 CAMEO was back to weekly meetings. We had a programme full of variety, with quizzes, sing a longs and talks from Mission Aviation Fellowship, Hearing Dogs for the Deaf, Ancestry, a Solicitor, Thanet food link , Still Waters and Southern Water to name a few. We had stalls at both Church Fairs and we had our usual Easter and Christmas Services to which we invited Mothers Union Members, We have enjoyed social gatherings with lunches in July and December, and we now look forward to 2023 and would like to welcome any new members. ## _**Christine Reeves**_ ## **Holy Trinity Mothers’ Union Branch Report for 2022** Holy Trinity Mothers’ Union had 26 members in 2022 over two groups. The Tuesday Afternoon Group meet on the first Tuesday Afternoon in each month. The Evening Group for members who are working during the day meet approximately every six weeks. During the year we have enjoyed welcoming Speakers to both groups. Rev’d Sue Woan told us about the work of Still Waters. We have learned about the roles of Prison Chaplins on the Isle of Sheppey and the Medway/Maidstone Prisons. Heather Weitzel told us how the Thanet Food Bank works for families. The Evening Group met to put Toiletry Gift Bags together for Oasis and these were given to the children as Mothering Sunday gifts for families staying with the Women’s Refuge. We made our Easter Chicks which were sold in Church to raise funds for AFIA (Away From It All) holidays as did the proceeds from our cake Stall at the Summer Fair and Christmas Fair. Susan Hembra, one of our members, raised further funds by having a Sponsored Haircut. Some of our members attended the Westgate Mothers’ Union Membership Service at St Saviours in Westgate and since joined them for Pimms & Puddings Evening. In April we attended the Mothers’ Union Festival Service in Canterbury Cathedral. In October some members arranged and delivered the prayers for the Mothers’ Union Cathedral Monthly Prayer Time. To celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee we invited CAMEO (Come and Meet Each Other) to share Afternoon Tea and a Royal Quiz in June. Then in September when Queen Elizabeth died we sadly lost our Patron. The Evening Group met at the Allotment when two of the members brought their daughters along which made for a fun evening. Then they met in August to arrange future Fundraising Events. One of these was to be the Garden Party we held at Grapevine Cottage (hosted by Tom Weitzel) raising in excess of £500. Both groups met in November to put together Christmas Gifts. The Tuesday Afternoon Group give to Sevenscore at QEQM and Copperfield’s Assisted Living Accommodation in Ramsgate each year. The Evening Group arranged gifts for the children living at the Women’s Refuge. Unfortunately, this year we lost two of Branches long service members – Dorothy Chapman who was over 100 years old and Eileen Welcome who was 99 years old. Both had been members for well over 50 years. Very sadly we also lost our Archdeaconry President, Rita Pengelly. Rita had recently attended our Platinum Jubilee Afternoon Tea and our meeting in July to tell us about her recent walk from Margate to London to raise funds for Mothers’ Union. Her death came as a shock as we had only recently been in touch. Many of our members attended Rita’s Memorial Service at St Saviour’s in Westgate. To finish we as Mothers’ Union Branch members can be found serving in the Café throughout the week so come along for a coffee or tea and a chat. ## _**Wendy James**_ ## **Book Gem 2022** We have enjoyed 7 meetings this year and it’s been a delight to welcome new members during the year. We have between 4 to 7 attending in person plus 2 members who regularly send a written report which is read out at the meeting. We have read a variety of books starting with “Murder Fest “ by Julie Wassmer which was set in Whitstable and made us all want to visit Ham Shades Lane and St Alphege Church. Then we read a classic “ Down and Out in Paris and London” by George Orwell based on his own life experiences. This was not liked by most of us. “One August Night” by Victoria Hislop was next, which was universally enjoyed. In September we read “The last library” by Freya Sampson which showed us the importance of books and how reading could transform people's lives. Another classic followed and some people cheated by watching the film. This was “The Remains of the Day” by Kazuo Ishiguro. We followed this by “The Things We Left Unsaid” by Emma Kennedy, a story about relationships, a great read and one which led to a good discussion. Our final book was “The Island of Missing Trees” by Elif Shafak set in Cyprus and England with some of the story being told by the fig tree who heard and saw everything. ## _**Kaye Nightingale**_ ## **Dementia report 2022** I started as Dementia Co-Ordinator on April 1[st] 2022 therefore cannot report before this just to say thank you to Jackie Tuppen and the Volunteers for keeping the Cogs clubs open. The two cogs clubs which run on a Wednesday and Thursday 10-3pm continue to run with me now facilitating them with the help from the volunteers. I recruited 5 more volunteers throughout April ready to open the Activity sessions in May. The activity sessions opened on Monday 9[th] May with 6 members in the morning and 6 in the afternoon. At the end of December it was up to 9 in the morning and 10 in the afternoon. In June I started giving an information talk once a month to the CST course that Elmstone mental Health Unit hold here at HTM. I also became involved again with the Thanet Dementia Action alliance. At the beginning of July we hosted a strawberry tea for both the Cogs clubs inviting their loved ones to come along and join us. We held this in the Café. In September we had a visit from USA Kristen Abbott-Anderson, PhD, RN, CNE Professor School of Nursing came and sat in on our Cogs club. This was arranged by Jackie Tuppen. In December we had a visit from the Cliftonville school choir and the Greyhound Buskers who came to our Cogs clubs to entertain our members. Clifford also held a carol concert for us in church which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. _**Julie Thurman-Newell**_ ## **Girlguiding at Holy Trinity 2022** 2022 was an eventful year for Girlguiding at Holy Trinity. It was good to have a whole year of face-to-face meetings. We have been able to reopen both Guides and Brownies – in fact we will have 30 girls at Brownies for a while, just to fit in all the girls who want to come which is such good news. Although the Friday Brownies closed, the leaders have come to join the remaining Brownie unit, meaning we have good teams for each section although many of us cover more than one role. The Rainbows continue to be full with a waiting list. Rainbows can now join at 4 but in reality, most will be five before we can offer a place. Our Guide unit also continues to grow – the girls seem to be really enjoying the safe space that is offered and have lots of fun trying new things. Leader, Jackie Hermitage, was awarded The Laurel Award in February at a Thinking Day event. This National Girlguiding award is only awarded a few times each year to members who have shown commitment and high standards at both local and wider levels. It is always a surprise event and a huge honour. All sections attended a number of events together such as the Jubilee Fun day in Ramsgate where over 100 girls took part in Maypole dancing, making tiaras, singing, decorating cloth bags and generally having a lot of fun. The Rainbows and Brownies had a sleepover at the campsite at Mystole near Canterbury. Rainbows completed a Gruffalo challenge and Brownies, one about Badgers. We were pleased to have Clifford join us for the day – hopefully we fed him well and it was lovely to show him our facilities at the Hoot. The Guides also had a sleepover but with a difference. Girlguiding Kent East supported Porchlight to raise money, particularly for women who are sleeping on the streets. As a county we raised in excess of £22,000. It was a real challenge as it was cold night to be sleeping in a cardboard box but we learnt a lot. Each year, Girlguiding supports a new film release and over 300 girls, leaders and parents took over the Carlton cinema on a very cold December morning to watch Matilda – the perfect film for our girls and young women. It was a real joy to see all the girls bouncing up and down in their seats and singing along. We continue to work for our theme awards and interest badges. We have earnt the Skills, for my Future, Express Myself and Know Myself theme awards and badges such as baking, Local History, Story Teller, Book Lover and Family Tree. We have been extremely grateful for the support that Holy Trinity have given us with a warm, safe and friendly place to meet. We would also like to thank the parents and leadership team for their continued support and friendship. ## _**Jackie Hermitage (Unit Leader)**_ **Holy Trinity (Margate) Sea Scout Group and Phoenix Sea Explorer Unit** have continued to thrive with new members joining during the past year, following a programme full of activities that for the Scouts & Explorers were planned by themselves at the start of the season. In the past year, many top awards have been gained by the younger members prior to moving onto the next section for more adventures. Three of our leaders were recognised too for their commitment. Spanner and Socket were awarded their Queen’s Scout Award in December, the highest award in Scouting and Dory was awarded the Chief Scout Commendation for Meritorious conduct in October. One of our leaders also represented UK Scouting at Her Majesty the Queen’s lying in State. We give a loud BRAVO to all these accomplishments. We're also extremely proud of all the Scouts & Explorers who put themselves forward for selection for the World Scout Jamboree and we're excited to have 5 of our Explorers attending as participants of the UK Contingent to South Korea in 2023 together with 2 leaders attending as part of the International Service Team. The last 12 months has also seen some familiar events return to the Scouting calendar which has been wonderful. This includes the return of Remembrance Parade where the Explorers, Scouts, Cubs and Beavers did us all proud. The scouts and explorers also returned to Westwood Cross to work with the Royal British Legion to help raise funds for the Poppy Appeal. 2021 also saw the return of the popular District ADUTT competition, where our team of Scouts came 1st overall, 1st in First Aid and 2nd in Pioneering, all with the help of some fantastic teamwork and commitment to supporting other groups to help everyone take part. Unfortunately, the competition was not held in 2022. However, the Cubs won the 2022 handicraft competition with a flashback to 100 years of the BBC. Their Christmas wreath also was commended as one of the prize winners at the church Christmas Fair. All sections have been taking part in a wide range of activities including sleepovers at the church, sleeping in carboard boxes for Porchlight, boating, hiking, making Bat Boxes and having a go at brick laying, how to iron clothes, sewing, learning how to cook, science nights, communication evenings, visits to the lifeboat, Fire Safety, Digital Maker, Artist and My Faith. All sections had camps as well. The Scouts and Explorers attended KIJ (Kent International Jamboree) in July where we hosted a group of Explorers from Portugal. The Cubs and beavers had camps at our local campsite in Minster. The winter months have seen the sections busy in the halls and grounds of the church working on their community impact awards. A group of scouts have recently undertaken a community project of digging the rose beds in the memorial garden and also gardening generally. The Explorer section have been helping with the local food bank. Holy Trinity (Margate) Sea Scout Group and Phoenix Sea Explorer Unit would like to express their thanks to the PCC and especially to Clifford for all their continued support during the past year. ## _**Denise Burring**_ ## **Finance Report** **PCC Financial Review for 2022** Holy Trinity Margate continues to face difficult challenges and 2022 is no different. While Covid-19 has subsided, new pressures from the cost of living crisis has impacted our finances. We have renegotiated our gas and electricity tariffs to 2024, continue with our maintenance programme and have paid in full within 10 months our Parish Share of £66,854 (Our Parish Share for 2023 is £71,571). Our Summer fair returned in June raising £1,310, we also had a Quiz Night and a Fundraising Show that contributed a further £731 and a Christmas Fair that raised £1,377. Sundry income through the envelope scheme and coin collection remains low but our standing order payments remained stable. The importance of standing orders were highlighted once again as without this income we would have been unable to fulfil our commitments of paying the Parish Share, our employees, energy costs and other utility bills. We are however very grateful to all who contribute in any way they choose. The late Gift Aid payments in 2022 are causing further cash flow problems and necessitating the use of our reserves. The Diocese of Canterbury are in the process of addressing this complicated issue and will be launching a new Parish Giving Scheme next year for those churches who wish to sign up. ## **Hall Rentals / Lettings / Café** Combined income from the above amounted to £90,636 less expenses. We enter our second year, where we have control of the running of our halls, rental rooms and café, which continues to benefit many organisations, activity groups and healthcare practitioners. Occupancy rates for the rooms are around 92% although on occasions we are more fully booked. The income generated from these groups has enabled us to build our strengths that show we are here for the local community and a go-to hub in Thanet. ## **Maintenance Programme** As at 31[st] December 2022 around £42,276 had been spent to upgrade, service and maintain Holy Trinity Margate and its surrounding grounds up to a high level of specification to welcome our community in arm and comfortable environment. Some of the maintenance works carried out in 2022 included: Electrical works to Centre and Church and replacing all lights to LED – cost £5,439 New heating equipment and repairs – cost £5,889 Trees removed and trimmed – cost £3,300 Repairs to Lift and installation of new SIM-card for emergency calls – cost £3,922 New computers and upgrade of wi-fi connections to Centre and Church – cost £3,688 White line markings to Church car park bays – cost £800 Fencing for Memorial Garden – cost £10,722 We are extremely grateful to Top Branch Tree Services (Joseph Weitzel) for the tree work that was carried out and their kind gesture of not accepting payment but instead instructing us to pay one third to the church and centre, one third to Mission Guatemala and one third to Mothers’ Union. ## **Accountants** For the second year running, we have engaged the services of Dudley & Gore, 50 Queen Street, Ramsgate to examine the accounts. ## **Parish Nursing** We received grants of £15,000 from the Colyer Ferguson Foundation and £5,000 from the Maurice and Hilda Laing Trust in 2021 which has enabled us to continue our work in the community. ## **Missions** We continue to be committed in our mission giving and in 2022 PCC agreed to make a financial contribution of £3,500 in support of 7 missions: A donation of £500 was made to each of the following: Thanet Food Bank Mission Guatemala Send A Cow Gospel for Asia The Seafarers Mission Still Waters Mothers’ Union Diocese of Canterbury (AFIA) Finally, I would like to say thank you to Lorraine Williams for collating all our bank statements and invoices etc for our accountant to process into our year-end results and to Brian Portanier who resigned from his position as PCC Treasurer in December 2022, but has served us over many years keeping the accounts running through some tough times and to Julie Portanier for her help and support too. _**Michael Jarvis**_ ## **PARISH NURSE report for 2022** Looking back over 2022 I am grateful to God for the way He has blessed the Parish Nursing Role at Holy Trinity. It has been good to look back over the year, especially as we came out of the pandemic and life became more “normal” again. I was kept busy during my three working days and tried to make the best use of the time both in meeting people in the building and visiting the housebound. This was a challenge at times and I have had to attempt to prioritise my workload. Over the year some older people that I visited or telephoned have died. This is inevitable but was difficult as I became more involved with their lives than I usually would as a nurse. Also I had no way of knowing until I had no answer to my calls and contacted the GP surgery. I tried to visit the housebound once a month usually on a Tuesday. If I have not been able to visit I made telephone calls but have realised this is not the same as a face to face meeting for those people who seldom have any visitors. I attended a Parish Nursing Symposium in March which was excellent with good speakers and the opportunity to network with other Parish Nurses from across the Country. I tried to pop into the Toddlers group for at least a short time every Wednesday and enjoyed chatting with the parents /grandparents . Then in the afternoon I was often consulted by people who came to the Porchlight meeting and needed health advice or assistance with GP/ hospital letters. I usually tried to visit the ladies of the Art Group who meet in the Hall every Tuesday morning for a chat . Often folk who are in the building would come in to ask about diet or for a blood pressure check. The Sit and Stay Fit class started in May after I qualified as a teacher for seated exercise. The class has been well attended and I enjoyed writing new routines to the music which I hoped the participants would enjoy. They often sing along to the chosen music and we try to have a theme to the exercise which makes it more engaging. The Thursday Friendship Group started after Lockdown when I identified a need amongst people who had not been able to get out and meet others, including those who had lost loved ones during the pandemic. This Group was a blessing throughout the year and attracted up to 22 people. We enjoyed quizzes, making Christmas table decorations and Circle dancing as well as welcoming speakers from many local and nationwide organisations and charities. My thanks to Roy Nightingale, Suzanne Lundie and Susan Davies for their help and support. We tried to have a short Christian message most weeks. Throughout the year I was encouraged by members of the church fellowship and want to thank you all for your support and interest in your Parish Nurse Margaret Edwards ## **Vicars report for the 2023 APCM reflecting on 2022 Reverend Clifford Stocking Vicar of Holy Trinity Margate** **Verse for the year 2022: Malachi 3: 10 & 11**[10 ] Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house, and thus put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts; **see if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you an overflowing blessing.**[11 ] I will rebuke the locust for you, so that it will not destroy the produce of your soil; and your vine in the field shall not be barren, says the Lord of hosts. As this report is read to you or you read it for yourself you will be aware that I have now started my new ministry in Cliffe St. Helen’s and here I will be listening to all that has happened in this place over the last year at their APCM as you have yours. I now then write up all that had happened at HTM in 2022 from the Vicar’s point of view. Every year brings it changes and challenges. I set for the year the verse from Malachi which speaks of the many blessings God has for us. As I now look back on 2022, I can see that God has blessed HTM in many ways, firstly it was the first whole year without any Covid restrictions and whilst people still contracted the virus its effect on society in general was minimal. The long term result of the whole time of pandemic has been quite devasting on churches and congregations. Whilst some might want to count in their figures, those who now do church at home via social media, podcasts and live feeds, numbers attending church generally are down and this decline has rapidly increased a downward spiral that has been in affect when we look at data ever since the second world war. That said numbers at HTM have been reduced but have slowly stabilised and whilst we have lost some members for various reasons we have welcomed many new faces as well. One area that we have struggled with is finding officers to lead and run the church. My huge thanks go to Mike for being the only warden now and I pray that someone might feel challenged by God to assist him and fill the vacancy. Ann who had been warden stepped down from this role rightly to concentrate on her training to be an LLM and huge thanks for all she did as warden and continues to do in her ministry. Towards the end of the year Brian stepped down as treasurer and so another vacancy is very much needed. There were some issues at the beginning of the year that transpired towards the end of the summer, we thought we would run the year with a £40000 loss and that left some of the staff feeling as though they were fighting a losing battle. When I examined the figures it was clear expenses had been double inputted so in fact we were actually throughout the year breaking around about even which is great credit to all the hard work that all the staff and volunteers put in. As you move forward and having taken on more staff with almost 95 percent capacity in the halls the future looks bright. Hall bookings are constant, numbers attending all groups are up, our dementia services have gone from strength to strength, the café is buzzing most days. We are welcoming people from every walk of life from the very young to those at the sunset of life and those who have nothing connecting with Porchlight, Safehaven and other charity groups that use our facilities and have made it their home. There were some teething problems at the beginning of the year as some objected to the way in which the café and other areas of the halls were run, this was sadly soon addressed and despite my disappointment at being unnecessarily reported to the Archdeacon for a matter which really has nothing to do with ministry but a managerial decision I rightly made in the life of the halls, I was left frustrated, at around the same time I was starting to think about my position at HTM with the news of another grandchild on the way who was born just before Christmas, an opening came up in Medway. I reluctantly at first started to make moves to look at it. I report this because the negativity created by some has deep effects on ministers and their families, but what I have learnt in life is, before we complain at an idea we don’t like, let it run, see if it works, if it doesn’t then try something different, learn the lesson and move on. In letting it run you might just be surprised that it works, especially if it has been wrapped in prayer. I now know that those ideas worked, the Café as I have said is buzzing and making a good turnover whilst offering affordable prices, which hopefully means in the future you might be able to employ someone to coordinate it. The heart system of paying forward has been a total success, especially given the amount of people that now come into our church who have very little or who are quietly struggling. These are all reaching out to peoples needs and the fellowship that is enjoyed in this seated area now is talked about in a positive way by many who use it and why, because God is in it. During the summer and Christmas, we held our fairs which were fully successful in many ways. We had an outside parade and BBQ in May and enjoyed many other services together celebrating the various seasons of the church calendar. In the autumn we sadly said goodbye to David who had been our organist for many years and in the interim we purchased a system that can play most songs and hymns to get us by. The music jammers stepped up and I handed the lead to Luke, and you now have a wonderful group of musicians who lead the music twice a month, its what I have always wanted, and I will miss this now that I have left, as I have enjoyed the opportunity to play bass in those services. Occasional offices were down last year as I only conducted two weddings, with no funerals in church and 7 baptisms, this reflects a trend in Thanet for people to seek civil alternatives. One of my ideas was to have a memorial garden now in place to give people a focus on what the church can offer in various times of life. The roses and wall allow people to share memories and find peace, the rose pergola in time will give couples somewhere to have their photos taken creating and making memories. The garden team have worked hard over the year and the grounds show that HTM is loved and cared for, a wonderful opening welcome to those who find rest here and hopefully above all things God and a relationship with Jesus. A strong team of friendly volunteers now greet people and welcome people as well as help maintain and run the day-to-day activities, we have become over the last year a real community church actively serving those who come through our doors. I always said that just as HTM started to flourish I would leave and hand it on to someone else to pick up and on the 6[th] December 2022 having chased for an interview back in Medway I was successful in being offered a new position as Priest in Charge of Cliffe with Cooling St. Helen’s. Due to problems with DBS’s taking so long I couldn’t announce this and I had to then lead the church through Christmas knowing that it was my last. I guess the final confirmation that God is in this was the difficult night we all had as a family when Isabella was born, we knew then that we needed to be where our family are. That also means that God is in this fully and He knows the plans He has for HTM as you look back but not step back but instead continue to move forward and certainly my prayers are that you allow each to do their thing (you have wonderful hard working staff) which will keep you running as you are until God sends the right person to you whoever she or he will be. A good year, God bless.
