Trustees Annual Report for 2020

Structure, governance and management

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a charity, but it is excepted from registering with the Charity Commission within the meaning of Section 30 of the Charities Act 2011.

During the year, the following served as members of the PCC:

Ex Officio Members

Incumbent The Reverend Canon Paul Seaman Chair Wardens Mrs Alyson Heath Vice-Chair Mrs Ann Kaiser Reader Mr Tony Holloway Elected Members Mr Matt Cargill Mr Peter Gregory Mrs Antoinette Hayes Mr Austen Hindman Safeguarding Officer Ms Elizabeth Hunt Mr Brian Hunter Treasurer Mrs Ann Kaiser Ms Susan Scholefield PCC Secretary Mr Arthur Varndell Mrs Jacquie Walbridge

Deanery Synod

Mr Rob Aylott Mrs Alyson Heath Ms Susan Scholefield

Membership of the PCC is determined under the Church Representation Rules and consists of certain ex officio members (the incumbent/priest in charge, curate, lay readers licensed to officiate in the church), the churchwardens and members of the Deanery, Diocesan or General Synod and 12 members of the church who have previously been elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM). Members are warmly encouraged to stand for election to the PCC and we try to ensure a balance of skills and experience where possible.

Aim and Purposes

The primary objective of St Mary’s PCC is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Incumbent, The Reverend Canon Paul Seaman, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the church pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

Annual Report for calendar year 2020

Achievements and Performance

Church Attendance

At the last Annual Parochial Church Meeting there were 143 people recorded on the Church Electoral Roll, of whom 110 were residents and 33 non-residents of the parish.

During this very difficult year, services were held in church throughout October. On average, 58 people attended each week (57 adults aged 16 and over and 1 child under 16). In the course of the year 21 funeral services were held in church and at crematoria or cemeteries.

The PCC was able to meet four times, with one of these meetings by Zoom. The Standing Committee met seven times, with four of these meetings by Zoom. It helped keep the PCC informed of when the church was open and of on-line opportunities for worship and how mission, pastoral care and other work in the community progressed, with help and support delivered safely to those who most needed it, particularly when selfisolating or otherwise housebound. We are most grateful to everyone who helped in so many different ways, as described by the churchwardens in the following pages.

Churchwardens Report

2020 has proved to be a very challenging year for us all and the responsibilities for the churchwardens took on new dimension in many ways.

A priority in the early part of the year was to make sure we followed all the Government’s guidance on providing sanitizing stations, ensuring the church was regularly cleaned and all social distances notices were in place. We were so very grateful for the support we had from members of the congregation to help keep the church open for private prayer when guidelines permitted.

During the times when public worship was allowed, again following Government guidelines, we kept attendance registers for Sunday services and for funerals.

Working parties continued on the first Saturday each month. Having respect for the lockdown arrangements, work generally concentrated on the churchyard and keeping everything neat and tidy while keeping our distance from everyone else.

Neil Ellis, who has kept the grass cut for the last few years, has decided to retire and at the end of the year we engaged Burman’s Ground and Garden Services to do this work for us in 2021. We are grateful to the Parish Council for a grant we have received towards the cost of this work.

Work by Vergers Cottage was substantially completed except for a length of fencing at the southern end of the area.

Application of oil to the external doors to the church, repainting the flagpole and work to comply with the Water Supply Regulations (work identified by Southern Water) were all carried out during the year.

Quotations for re-decorating the North Aisle chapel ceiling were obtained early in the year but work could not be started before authority was obtained from the Diocesan Advisory Committee. This was eventually received on 14 December. In the meantime the Architect has provided a specification for repair and redecoration in the Chancel area for use when funds allow.

Repairs were carried out to restore the organ and this has allowed use during services, including those recorded for broadcasting during the pandemic. The cost of this work was covered by our insurance.

A CCTV system has been installed and was immediately used when the church was broken into on Good Friday. A total of £5 was taken but a bill of over £4,000 was incurred in repairs to the window broken to obtain entry. This bill was met by our insurers.

Damage from an apparent attempt to steal a small amount of lead flashing from the roof of the Vestry was repaired. This cost was partly covered by insurance.

Work required following a Risk Management Survey by our insurers was carried out. This comprised reapplication of SmartWater to metal objects and clearing vegetation off the North Aisle roof. The latter was carried out by a contractor using roped access who also cleaned out the high level guttering to the Nave while on site.

Servicing arrangements for the alarm system, portable electric apparatus, clock, boiler and fire extinguishers were all carried out as normal. The sole exception was the bells which, since they had not been used for more than a brief spell since the last service, were deemed not to warrant the expenditure for a full service. The ringers made a full inspection of the belfry prior to the attenuated ringing while the lockdown arrangements were relaxed and church services resumed in the summer.

The floodlighting and North ramp path lighting failed just before Christmas. It is probable that water penetration occurred during an exceptionally wet period of weather but restoration could not be undertaken until the new year.

4

At the start of Advent we were grateful to Harwoods Garages for the donation of a Christmas Tree for the Lychgate. During the final week of Advent we had a special Nativity scene with grateful thanks to Andy Leese and Andy Heath for their expertise in erecting a stable scene and to Michelle Taylor-Bowers and Vicki Smith for creating the figures. Again, with the help of members of the congregation who kept the church open, this proved a very special time.

Throughout the year we have managed to produce the Pulborough Community News each month, again thanks to people who have stepped up to deliver for those people ‘shielding’.

Each week we have produced a service leaflet either on-line or in church when Government guidelines allowed. Thanks for the on-line services go to the expertise of Andy Leese and to Tony Hancock with members of St Mary’s choir whose input produces a very meaningful Sunday service. Here’s to a more positive 2021 when our church family can meet again!

PCC Financial Review for 2020

In 2020 we made a £6,000 loss on unrestricted income which was mainly because our income from regular giving was £7,000 down from 2019 caused by the fall in income from Cash and blue weekly envelopes.

A few of our Standing Order and regular envelope givers have transferred to the Parish Giving Scheme and increased their giving, and we thank them for that. However, those who have continued to pay by Standing Order have not increased their giving at all.

Despite this we agreed to increase our current 85% payment for our Diocesan Parish Share to 90% which means we need to pay an additional £3,200 in 2021.

This was agreed before the January 2021 lockdown and sadly we have not started 2021 as well as we had hoped.

Last year we were fortunate to receive £8,000 in Donations and Legacies. In 2020 we have only received the Bell Ringers donation of £2,500 from their 2019 100 Club, for which we are very grateful.

In 2020 we were once again able to cover the expenditure on Churchyard maintenance by using the income from the Endowment set up from the Frost Legacy.

In summary, we need to continue and strengthen our efforts to increase our regular giving and we need to look for other initiatives to increase our regular income.

Only then will we be able to get back to paying 100% of our Diocesan Parish Share.

Reserves Policy

It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on the general unrestricted funds which equates to approximately three months of unrestricted payments as a contingency against unforeseen situations.

The PCC has Endowment investments of £125,000 of which in the region of £60,000 can be used for approved Church Projects if required.

It is PCC policy to invest temporarily surplus funds with the CBF Church of England deposit fund.
