PCC RESPONSIBILITIES

The PCC’s primary duty, as defined in section 2(a) of the Parochial Church Council’s (Powers Measure) 1956 is to co-operate with the incumbent or priest in charge in (inter alia) promoting in the parish the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

As is the present custom members, if re-elected for a further three years, they would stand down for one year at the completion of their 6 years or see below.

The Standing Committee consists of the Vicar, Churchwardens and two members elected from the PCC at the first meeting of the PCC immediately after the APCM. Also, two safeguarding officers are elected.

VICAR’S REPORT FOR YEAR END 2024

The year 2024 has seen an increase in people worshipping on Sundays and an increase in people’s generosity to support the work of this church financially, so much so that we have now increased our ability to fund the cost of the Diocese providing us with a Vicar to £40,000 per annum from January 2025. This means that the Diocese still subsidises our ministry by £15,000 per annum, but we are on track to reach a break-even figure by January 2026. So, a big thank you to everyone who has joined our regular giving scheme and donates to the Church.

As I survey the future, I was heartened late last year by a visit from Cheryl Trice, the Diocesan Team Lead Adviser for Children & Young People’s Mission & Ministry Team.

She shared with me that she was witnessing a truly inter-generational church, here at Holy Trinity, where we have babies, toddlers, teenagers, young adults, married couples and people rich in the experiences of life. It is encouraging for those getting older that there is a next generation to whom we are handing on the faith; but what she said is that this also communicates to young people attending our church that worship is a practice that you do for the whole of your life. The fact that we involve as many young people as possible in our worship rather than taking them away for a Sunday school or youth service hopefully means too that they will love this way of worshipping God.

I have particularly appreciated the performance of our PCC this year. They have examined a variety of initiatives and got stuck in with making things happen. Please read the Secretary’s report to discover the details.

Annual Report and Accounts - Year Ended 31 December 2024

As I look ahead, I would also like to commend the work that Chloe Todd is putting in at Holy Trinity school, where she is the Musician in Residence. Chloe joined us at the age of 9 in our church choir and has been with us ever since, performing to a very high standard in her external professional life; as well as for us on Sundays and in school during her sessions there in the week. We now have choral scholars from school leading our worship four times a year. She has also recruited 5 singers to the National Youth Choir, where Lucy Morris, our Director of Music, is significantly involved in running.

So, in 2025 we will be looking at how through Chloe’s work in school and church, with support from our Lucy, we can recruit more young choristers to join the three teenagers, who joined us last year. Your prayers and support as we explore this further are much appreciated. We are truly an intergenerational church, and I have much to be thankful for from a wide-ranging team of volunteers, who are often unsung heroes. You all deserve a pat on the back! Don’t take that just from me, take it too from Cheryl Trice from our Diocese.

Reverend Martin Henwood DL

PCC Secretary Report

Changes in the PCC

After many years serving as the Treasurer, Kevin Ross resigned from the post and Jane Kustner has taken on the role. Michael Whitelegg retired from the PCC during the year. The church is very grateful for the contributions Kevin and Michael have made to the PCC.

Mission Priorities

The PCC discussed initiatives and voted on the following :

Stewardship Campaign

The new parish giving scheme to allow regular contributions to be set up efficiently and reduce administration work is working well. The majority have joined the Parish Giving Scheme. The card machine at the west door has been a success especially as all the payments have been made on weekdays, so obviously made by visitors as well as some members on a Sunday.

Churchyard Café and Nursery

The operation of these two businesses continue to support the church finances and the keeping the church open for visitors during café times between 10.00 and 15.00 hours, Monday to Saturday.

Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School

The church continues to have close links with the school – we have had several well attended services with the whole school in church; Chloe and Anna from the choir also support music in the school.

Charities

During 2024 the Church supported:

Communications

The Church website address is https://holytrinit3.wixsite.com/holy-trinity- and we are grateful to choir member April who has kept the website and the social media (Facebook) up to date and regularly refreshed.

A team from the PCC have reviewed the external signage around the outside of the church and have improved the posters and the notice board outside the west door.

Accidents

There were no accidents reported.

Safeguarding Report 2024/25

The church follows the ‘Promoting a Safer Church’ policy of the Church of England. Current PCC members and people in positions within the church have been checked by the Disclosing and Barring Service (DBS).

In terms of safeguarding training the following courses have been completed by the current PCC Members:

Holy Trinity Church continues to recruit young people as both members of the choir and servers. To comply with the Church of England guidance, members of the choir and servers are required to complete the following documentation:

Documentation can be found on Holy Trinity Church Website under the Safeguarding heading. https://holytrinit3.wixsite.com/holy-trinity-

One case of Safeguarding incident has been reported 2024/25. The Church of England policy and procedure has been followed. Reports have been sent to the Dioceses Safeguarding Team. A Social Services referral has been made and Police have been informed of the incident. Records are kept in accordance with Promoting a Safet Church Policy/Procedure.

Churchwarden’s Report on the Fabric, Fixtures and Fittings and Repairs to the Church

Lady Chapel

With reference to last year’s report, we continue to undertake “empirical” testing of the roof to the Lady Chapel with bi-annual assessment whilst we clear the gutters, hoppers, etc., of leaves and the skeletal remains of dead birds.

6

Holy Trinity Church, Dartford

Annual Report and Accounts - Year Ended 31 December 2024

The last “test” was carried out in early April 2025 and there was no cause for concern.

The situation will continue to be assessed and acted upon should the condition of the chapel roof change.

Should problems arise in the future we will consult a suitable structural engineer and/or contractor.

It is hoped that the roof will remain stable until the next Quinquennial inspection whereupon we may have access to additional/alternative options for funding with regards to carrying out the repairs.

Clock/Bell Tower

Last year’s report discussed the large crack to the clock/bell tower.

In February 2025, the tower was inspected by a suitably qualified structural engineer and a report issued giving recommendations that mainly centred on undertaking an intrusive investigation, which will require the removal of plaster in key areas and monitoring to see if there is ongoing movement.

We have been in contact with the Architect and structural engineer with regards to pricing this next stage for submission to the PCC for approval.

Additional works to the clock tower may include repairs to the localised plaster work, making the steps up the tower safer to walk up, reviewing the access to the roof, repairs to the roof and inspection/installation of lightning conductors, possible redecoration and hopefully a replacement carpet: the first time since at least 1923!

The cracks are currently stable.

Painting of the west/south doors and other items

The west/south doors as well as various metalwork items were painted last spring/summer in Monarch Red and the overall impression have been very favourable.

Boundary Wall

The Faculty having been granted we await a date from Dartford Borough Council for when the repairs will be made.

Church heating

We continue to try and find the best rates for gas and electricity for the church and continue to ask everyone to ensure that the lights are switched off when the church is not in use or if there is sufficient daylight to undertake tasks safely.

Annual Report and Accounts - Year Ended 31 December 2024

Vestry

It is planned to “gut” the vestry in 2025/2026 and remove old paperwork, plastic bags, cardboard boxes with strange items therein, slippers(!): we might even attempt to open up the filing cabinets.

If there are suitable funds, we may look into brightening up the vestry with fresh paint and a new carpet: subject to obtaining a Faculty.

Bell Tower - Captain Report:

During the past year ringers have joined in regular practice evenings at the following towers in the Lewisham District: Erith - St John’s, Erith - Christ Church, Crayford – St Paulinus and Ash – St Peter and St Paul.

Recruitment remains a problem – there has been some interest from potential new members but our numbers stay at 5 regular ringers.

We continue to enjoy social gatherings with meals out in local restaurants over the year.

We rang for the following events:

We ring for Sunday Services and have a practice night on Thursday evenings and on a Wednesday evening for the first Wednesday in the month.

Deanery Synod Report

The Dartford deanery is established with 10 member churches as follows: Crockenhill - All Souls,

Darenth - St Margaret’s, Darent Valley Benefice, Dartford - Christ Church, Dartford - Holy Trinity, Dartford - St Alban and St Edmund, Horton Kirby - St Mary’s, Darent Valley Benefice, Sutton at Hone - St John’s, Darent Valley Benefice, Swanley / Hextable - St Peter’s and St Paul’s, Swanley – St Mary’s, Wilmington - St Michael’s.

Annual Report and Accounts - Year Ended 31 December 2024

The Area Dean is currently Father Dane Batley-Gladden of Swanley St Mary and replaced the former Reverend Richard Mortimer of Christ Church, Dartford in May 2024.

Topics that have been discussed have included:

Appreciation

Thank you to all who help the church - our sidespeople, churchwardens, deputy churchwardens, servers, flower arrangers, bell ringers, clock winders, the café team who routinely open the church on weekdays and those volunteers who keep the church clean, tidy, and functioning throughout the year.

We are very grateful for the support of Martin, the PCC and the congregation that is given to us.

Many thanks to Genene, Jeanette and all the hard-working staff at The Churchyard Tea Rooms and the Pre-School Nursery. The benefits this team provide the church are many – and include keeping the church open for visitors every day of the working week, lighting the prayer board candle, and opening the main doors to offer an open church to the High Street.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Note 1. Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of accounting

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) effective 1 January 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and with the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Holy Trinity Dartford meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

1.2 Income

Recognition of income

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources; it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Offsetting

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.

Grants and donations

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).

Legacies

Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.

Tax reclaims on donations and gifts

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.

Donated services and facilities

Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.

Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA.

Income from interest, royalties and dividends

This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.

Investment gains and losses

This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

13

HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, DARTFORD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1.3 Expenditure and liabilities

Liability recognition

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

Governance and support costs

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, e.g. allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Deferred income

No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.

Creditors

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.

Provisions for liabilities

A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.

Basic financial instruments

The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.

Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

1.4 Assets

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Fixtures and fittings - 20% straight line and 15 years straight line

1.5 Investments

Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.

Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments.

1.6 Debtors

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.

1.7 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
