What we achieved and how we affected
le's lives-_
All significant decisions about the running of the Church are made by the PCC which met 6 times
during 2024.

At the May APCM, we said thank you to Tina Jones who stepped down from the PCC. We also
welcomed Nicky Jenner to the PCC.
Attendance atworship
The church family welcomes all who would like to know more about the Lord Jesus Christ.
Attendance at worship is voluntary and open to all.
At the APCM we had 71 people on the parish electoral roll. The average weekly attendance, as
recorded in October. was 57 adults and 12 children. This had remained very static since 2022.
During the Sunday morning servi￿, any children present have the opportunty to have a time of
age-appropriate teaching and activities.
In addition to our main Sunday morning Servi￿ at 1 Oam, we also held a monthty midweek
communion Servi￿ and a monthly messy church service for local families. The Church also held
a weekly prayer meeting on a Tuesday morning and a monthly prayer meeting in a Sunday
afternoon.
Teaching, baptising and nurturing new and existing believers
In 2024 our Sunday se￿nonS have looked at the bible books of Matthew, Acts and Proverbs with
thematic series on the church. These Sermons have been given by the minister and the four
authorised preachers. They aim to provide practical application of the bible to daily life. We also
held two bring and share lunches in 2024 and a parish outing to Herstmonceux.
In addition to our Sunday servI￿s, the church has six midweek groups where people meet for
fellowship, bible study, prayer and mutual encouragement.
Our minister also "engage" courses to enable people to investigate the Christian faith. In Lent 2024
we ran two book groups looking at the bible book of Lamentations and held a Quiet Morning at
another local parish church.
One member of the church family: Marian Povey died during 2024. We give thanks for her life and
service of the church. There was also one wedding. one infant baptism and one further funeral in
2024.
Evangelisrn and Outreach
The Church continued to reach out to the local community through the church toddler group, Messy
Church and Community Choir. We also held an aftemoon tea in conjunction with the West St
Leonards Forum, a quiz night with fish and chips and three musical concerts. All these activities are
open to everyone and the hope is that through the relationships built there will be opportunities to
share the Christian faith.
Church School
The Church continues to have a very strong relationship with St Leonards CE Primary Academy.
Our minister leads worship each week, a member of our church provides counselling through the
Charity TLG (Transforming Lives for Good) and the church regularly gives the children a drama
presentation through Open the Book. The school have al80 brought classes to the Church
building to learn about the Christian faith.
Provision of the church building for people to enjoy
The Church building is used each week for a variety of church activitie8. Other non-church groups
which met regularly in the church in 2024 included Rainbows; Brownies and the St Leonard's
Writers.

Staffing Plans
In 2024 the PCC took the decision to seek to raise funds to employ a part time Children and
Families, workei. A successful bid for £15,000 of funding over three years was submttted to the
Diocese of Chichester mission fund. The PCC intend to advertise the post in early 2025. It is
hoped that by 8mploying a part time worker the charity will be able to expand and develop its
ministry to children and young people.
Maintenance and Improvement of the church building
The Church has continued to maintain the building to enable Ft to be used for a range of ministry
and community activities that will benefft many in the local neighbourhood. This has included:
repairing and painting the fence around the boiler room;
re-locating the memorial board from St Leonards Parish Church:
purchasing some new rugs for the back of the building"
purchasing an additional 25 chairs to increase the seating capacity.
having the fire extinguishers tested and replaced where necessary. and
having the grass regularly mown and the paths cleared of weeds.
The church also successfully obtained a grant from the di0￿Se to fvnd 90 % of the work to repair
the coping above the former north entran￿. This work is scheduled to start in early 2025.
Church Properties
The PCC continues to lease for the former church hall next to the church to a local business. The
income supports the work of the church. The PCC also continues to rent out a two-bedroom flat it
owns on the sea front.
The PCC is also iesponsible for the churchyard of the former St Leonards Parish Church. This
remains insured by the Diocese of Chichester on behaff of the PCC. The Diocese are in
discussions with a possible future purchaser and it is hoped this might progress to a formal offer in
2025. Any future sale will be dependent on a suitable scheme being agreed with the Church
Commissioners.
Provision of pastoral care
The church has a combination of midweek groups and a pastoral care team to support people
within our church community.
Provision of support to the poor and needy
In September for har￿est we had a collection for the foodbank. The PCC also nominated three
charities to receive our mission giving - Open Doors: Hastings Christian Schools Workers, and TLG
(Transfomiing Lives for Good). Several other smaller grants were also given. In August 2024 the
Hastings Christian Schools Workers ￿aSed their work. The PCC decided to therefore support the
charity Hope Now and especially their work in Ukraine.
Future of the Charity
It is the medium-term plan of the Diocese of Chichester to merge the Church with St Matthew's
Church in St Leonards on Sea to form a new benefi￿. This pioject will only begin to progress on
the future of the fonner church of St Leonard on the seafront has b￿n determined.

Financial Review
The total receipts on general unrestricted fvnds were £78.096 and are detailed in the financial
statements. The accounts have been prepared under Charity Commission regulations (SORP {FR.S
102))
INCOME
In 2024 the planned giving increased by 3.￿/0 and we are very grateful for the generosity of
the congregation. The amount of Gift Aid claimed increased as did the amount of GASDS.
We were also able to claim Gift Aid on some of the donations on the gift day.
We had a number of donations for whAch we are grateful. We had an extremely successful
gift day which raised £10,625. .Some of this money was transferred into a designated
buildings fund for the repairs to the North Copings and the damp chan￿1 wall.
We were pleased to have one wedding this year but sadly also had two funerals.
We are grateful that the interest rates on the bank accounts are considerably higher than in
the past few years and we are actually getting interest on the current account.
EXPENDITURE
The parish share this year remainder at £30,000 in line with the Di0￿san recommendation
of 500fi of budgeted income.
The PCC agreed to donate 100k of the planned giving to its nominated charities and the
details of these donations can be found on page 17 (Notes 11 and 12)
The cost of utilities was slightly higher than in 2023.
We were able to complete a number of minor repairs to the building this year as outlined in
note 8.
We purchased a further 25 chairs and the c￿st of these is again moved into the furniture
depreciation fund, the money being taken from the gift day donations. We also purchased
two large rugs for the rear of the church using the funds from a previous legacy.
We have renewed the lease on the church hall for a further 5 years. This did incur additiorial
legal fees.
Reserves Policy
1. It is PCC policy to maintain a balan￿ on the general unrestricted funds (excluding property)
which equates to approximately two month's worth of unrestricted working expenses as
contingency against unforeseen situations. For 2024 this was £10,811.
2. It is PCC policy to invest fund balan￿S not immediatety required in the CAF Gold account
