## **2. ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2022**
## **Aims and Objectives**
St Aldhelm’s is a Church of England church, serving this parish in Upper Edmonton since 1903.
Our worship is within the Catholic tradition of the Church of England, sacramental but varied in style and our choir and musicians enrich our worship with modern and traditional music. Our congregation reflects the rich diversity of the community in which we serve and we seek to be inclusive and welcoming of everyone who walks through our doors.
Our faith demands that we love our neighbour as well as God, so we engage with the local community in a variety of ways, working in partnership with other organisations to provide places and activities where people can meet, connect, find support or simply find peace in a beautiful environment.
## **Public Benefit**
We are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and the advancement of religion, and we believe that, working with the Incumbent for the promotion of the mission of the Church in the parish and in the wider community, the church benefits the public by providing:
- a variety of forms of public worship and spiritual, moral and intellectual development for the wide range of its members and for any member of the public wishing to take advantage of the services and opportunities which it offers;
- pastoral care and practical support to vulnerable and lonely people within the parish
- opportunities for skills development and training for young people
- space, facilities and encouragement for community activities and for recreation.
## **Governance**
The Parochial Church Council (the PCC) is a corporate body established by the Church of England. It operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure 1956 (as amended) and the Church Representation Rules. It is also a charity registered with the Charity Commission (registration number 1132175).
The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Incumbent in the task of participating in God’s mission to the world and taking counsel together for the sake of the pastoral, evangelistic, educational, social and ecumenical ministry of the church within the ecclesiastical parish. Members of the PCC are either ex-officio or elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting in accordance with the Church Representation Rules, or co-opted by the PCC. Membership of the PCC comprises: the licensed clergy, the two churchwardens, lay members of the diocesan and deanery synods (ex officio); and 12 lay members elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (“the APCM”), who typically serve three-year terms. In addition, the PCC may co-opt up to three members annually. The names of members are listed above.
Churchwardens are elected annually at the Annual Meeting of Parishioners immediately preceding the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM). The Wardens elected at the Annual Meeting of Parishioners in May 2022 were Helen Quashie and Julie Willoughby. Wardens are entitled to serve a maximum of six consecutive periods of office; for both Helen and Julie, this will mean that they must stand down no later than the APCM of 2025.
At the 2022 APCM, four members of the PCC stood down at the end of their term of office. Two of these members were willing to serve again and were re-elected and two new members were elected: more information is set out in the minutes of the APCM included elsewhere in this report. Three people were coopted to the PCC because of the skills they bring.
Sadly, in July 2022 we lost our dear friend Roger Gleave. A member of our church community for many years he had served the church in different capacities, most recently on the PCC where he had special responsibility for buildings and maintenance. He was much loved and is greatly missed by many people.
His death caused a casual vacancy on the PCC. At its meeting on 6 September 2022 the PCC voted for Mary Irish, who was already co-opted to the Council, to be elected to the PCC, to serve until May 2025.

## **Safeguarding**
The PCC is confident that it has complied with its duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 to have regard to the House of Bishops' guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.
## **Clergy**
Mthr Anna Stuttard is our Priest in Charge and has been with us since 8 March 2020. Mthr Patricia Brown is our Assistant Curate: she was priested on 25 June 2022 and the church joyfully took part in her first celebration of the Eucharist on Sunday 26 June.
## **St Aldhelm’s in 2022**
Church life continued to be affected by the Covid-19 pandemic: when the year began the church was closed due to the impact of the Omicron variant and both our clergy had to self-isolate during the year when they tested positive for the virus. Church attendance was still low, although numbers began to increase during the course of the year.
## **PCC meetings**
The PCC met four times during the year (as well as following immediately after the APCM in May to elect Officers, co-opt additional members and appoint the Standing Committee). This year for the first time since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic all our meetings were held in person, although in line with guidance given by the Archbishops in 2020, some of the work of the PCC was conducted online, with decisions requiring formal approval circulated in writing after each meeting, using the correspondence procedure set out in the Church Representation Rules 2020, Rules M29 and 76.
The first meeting, in February 2022, approved the budgets for the year with a £30,000 fundraising target to break even. A proposal to re-shingle the church spire had been sent to the diocese for approval and the locks had been changed on the church back door to make them fire exit safe. Church attendance by adults was around 48% of pre-Covid levels, and only 25% for children. The church community had begun a community audit as part of their mission action planning.
By the time of the April meeting the Diocese had approved the proposal for re-shingling the spire and the PCC agreed to ask our architect to put a tender out to construction companies. We had been awarded a grant to start a foodbank, which had begun, and the students from West Lea had begun an edible garden project in the churchyard. The number of cases of Covid had decreased dramatically after the Winter peak and church attendance was up, with figures over Holy Week and Easter at around 75% of pre-Covid levels.
A meeting after the APCM in May appointed officers of the PCC and co-opted three members to the PCC.
The meeting proposed for July 2022 was postponed due to extreme weather, with temperatures reaching 40°C on the day of the proposed meeting.
The postponed meeting was held on 6 September. Work was beginning in earnest to make progress on works identified in the 2019 Quinquennial Inspection report, ahead of the Archdeacon’s Visitation in November, and fundraising had begun for the re-shingling of the spire – a £20,000 grant and a £20,000 loan had been approved by the Edmonton Area Council and other fundraising bids had been submitted. Small works had been carried out in the kitchen. The rapidly escalating cost of energy was causing concern and the PCC were warned that the bills would be dramatically higher than we had expected when we set the budget for the year. Mary Irish, a co-opted member of the PCC, was elected to the PCC to fill the casual vacancy caused by the death of Roger Gleave.
By November the predicted energy bills crisis had led the PCC to take on a freelance fundraiser to help Mthr Anna with grant fundraising, and a fundraising group had been set up to lead on community fundraising, with plans for a Christmas Bazaar taking shape. Minor works were continuing in preparation for the Archdeacon’s Visitation and a church maintenance plan, to be reviewed regularly, was approved by the PCC. The community audit and further workshop had been completed and the PCC were presented with their first Mission Action Plan, which was approved unanimously. The plan links with the Diocesan 2030 vision and focuses on three main principles: Love God; Love our neighbour; Love creation.

## _Parish suspension_
One of the key issues facing the PCC this year was the suspension of the parish, which had been in place since the end of 2019. Mother Anna’s term as Priest in Charge was due to come to an end in early 2023 and the PCC was determined to make every effort to demonstrate that the church was ready to come out of suspension. Huge amounts of work were done by the PCC, Churchwardens, staff, clergy and others, including: building works; a complete revision of the church inventory; introduction of policies and new working practices; safeguarding training; and bringing records up to date, including Log Books, risk assessments, safety documentation, hall hire agreements and more.
A lunch meeting with the Bishop of Edmonton was held in October and the Archdeacon’s Visitation took place in November. Both events were felt to have been very successful and the PCC was optimistic that Bishop Rob and Edmonton Area Council would agree that St Aldhelm’s could come out of suspension in 2023.
## **Committees**
## _Standing Committee_
This is the only committee required by the Church Representation Rules. It has power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council. Its function is to support the Incumbent in his/ her role as the spiritual leader of the parish, and to monitor and encourage implementation of plans agreed by the PCC. It meets between the full meetings of the PCC and at other times if necessary. The Standing Committee was elected after the Annual Meetings in May 2021 and May 2022.
The Standing Committee met four times in 2022, using its delegated authority to enable decisions to be taken in a timely and appropriate way and work to progress smoothly. Among other things, the Standing Committee oversaw expenditure and fundraising in between PCC meetings, managed risk assessments, dealt with legal questions which arose during the year, authorised minor works and had oversight of all HR issues.
## _Social Committee_
The Social Committee is currently the only other committee answering to the PCC. Their review of 2022 is included elsewhere in this report.
## **Church membership and attendance at services**
Church members must be communicants of sixteen years and upwards and on the Electoral Roll of the parish.
Attendance at church services in 2022 was still impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and, like most churches, we had fewer people attending overall. Overall, average attendance at a service was 44 adults (40 in 2021, 55 pre-Covid in 2019) and eight young people (7 in 2021 and 9 in 2019). 85 adults and 21 children attended on Easter Day, although this was undoubtedly boosted by having a baptism during the service (99 in 2019) and on Christmas Day 41 adults and six children attended, almost exactly the same numbers as on Christmas Day in 2018. There were six Baptisms (3 in 2021), one confirmation service in which 14 people were confirmed, one Wedding (2 in 2021) and five Funerals (6 in 2021) in church in 2022, one Interment of Ashes (1 in 2021) and one memorial service for a parishioner who died during the Covid lockdowns.
The Sunday morning Parish Eucharist continued to be the main focus for our corporate worship. Our Sunday worship is supplemented by live streaming services, directed by Peter Clarke and Rebekah GreyBubu, to whom we owe huge thanks. In addition, we met throughout the year for Morning Prayer on Zoom and most days Evening Prayer was livestreamed on facebook. Our Thursday morning service of Holy Communion from the Book of Common Prayer was attended faithfully by a few people, with numbers increasing during the course of the year. Our lay-led weekly Bible Study continued online.
The Sunday Club for children, introduced last year and led by Rebekah Grey-Bubu, increased in frequency from monthly to fortnightly and attracts an enthusiastic group of children. The club provides Bible-based activities, food and fun for children aged roughly 4-12 and has gone from strength to strength.

## **Staff Team**
We are grateful to Margaret Barrett, our Parish Administrator, Chris Littler, our buildings manager, and Tosin Akinremi, our Director of Music, for their ongoing commitment and hard work and for all that they contribute so positively to our life at St Aldhelm’s. This year, we welcomed Boyka Stoyanova Tatanova (known as Bobby) as our cleaner, and she has worked tirelessly and cheerfully to keep the buildings shipshape.
Margaret and Bobby are employees, for whom the church pays National Insurance and deducts PAYE tax. Chris and Tosin are both self-employed and responsible for their own tax arrangements. Mthr Patricia Brown is a Non-Stipendiary Assistant Curate for three days a week, and for three days a week is employed by St Aldhelm’s Church as an Outreach Worker. In that capacity she is an employee and on our payroll.
## **Data Protection**
Mthr Anna and the PCC Secretary have kept the PCC’s Data Protection obligations pursuant to GDPR under review and are satisfied as to compliance.
## **Church halls**
The Halls are a vital source of income for the church, as well as an important meeting point for community activities.
During the year, supported by grants, we commissioned a detailed rental valuation report for the halls and a business review. These two reports satisfied us that we are currently receiving market value for the rental of the hall from PSD, our nursery hirer. With the support of Peter Ginnings, our former PCC Secretary, we worked with lawyers from Birketts LLP to draw up a new hire agreement with PSD, the commercial nursery in our halls, which was signed and implemented in September.
Our regular hirers, including Age UK, two churches and various dance, drama and martial arts classes, have returned after Covid and by the end of the year income from these hirers was satisfactory.
The PCC remained cautious about allowing one-off hires of the halls, although we did allow people known to us to hire the halls on occasion.
## **Church building**
We continued to repair and upgrade the church electrics, with improvements to external lighting and sockets, kitchen circuits and a replacement fan in the toilet. The partnership with West Lea led to considerable improvements to the churchyard, with the Edible Garden project yielding plentiful harvests of beans, tomatoes and herbs and the garden generally being kept in good order and looking much more attractive.
## **Supporting our local community**
Our partnership with West Lea School continued this year, and the community café project, staffed by young people with disabilities, is very popular. The young people on placement make hot drinks and baked goods under the supervision of staff from West Lea and the café is open in term time twice a week. As well as providing training and employment opportunities for young disabled people this project also provides a place for local people to meet, use the internet and make connections. In this resource-poor neighbourhood this café is a much-needed community resource.
We started a foodbank project this year, which has grown from small beginnings to provide significant support to a growing number of households. We are grateful to Enfield Community Food Projects Small Grants Programme and the government’s Department for Work and Pensions Household Support Fund for their financial support of this project.
In the summer we began a partnership with North London Stitch and Textiles to run a stitching group in the church. The group is well attended, with a core of people who attend most weeks alongside a changing group of people who come once in a while. Windmill Stitchers provides an opportunity for people to learn and share stitching and textile skills, to create and craft together with other people and to socialise and

improve English language skills. In August the group took part in Untold Edmonton, a project led by Enfield Council exploring the rich and diverse community histories of Edmonton.
## **Mothers’ Union**
The Mothers’ Union at St Aldhelm’s continues to be a vital and lively part of our church community. A report below sets out further details.
## **Looking forward**
## _Mother Anna writes:_
Church is a community and we rely on one another to keep things going. Our grateful thanks to everyone who has contributed in 2022 in ways large and small, to staff, clergy and volunteers, old faces and new – God bless you all for everything you do.
So many people have contributed in ways large and small, but I would like particularly to thank our churchwardens Helen and Julie; our reader Dorothy; our paid members of staff Bobby, Chris, Margaret and Tosin; Rebekah for her work with the children in church; Rebekah and Peter for their incredible work keeping us streaming and online; our choir and musicians, servers, readers, intercessors, welcomers, stewards, flower team and providers of refreshments after services. Special mention this year to Edie for her patient efficiency in organising the Christmas Bazaar and for her tireless work for the St Aldhelm Gathering in May 2023. I am deeply grateful to members of the PCC, Standing Committee and Social Committee for their work and to Betty whose kindness and stellar rotas keep everything running smoothly. Thanks and love from St Aldhelm’s to the young people and staff from West Lea and to Helen and Meral from North London Stitch and Textiles. Thank you, one and all.
My personal thanks to Mother Patricia for being a superb partner in crime, bringing unexpected gifts and strengths to the clergy team, wisdom, energy and enthusiasm and a huge heart for the parish and everyone who lives, works or worships here. You are a blessing to us all.
At the start of 2023 we received the very welcome news that Bishop Rob and the Edmonton Area Council had agreed that the parish could come out of suspension. The PCC agreed that I should be appointed Vicar and we are all looking forward to the collation and induction service, to be held 10 days after our APCM.
Not just a change of job contract for the clergy, this service recognises the enormous changes the church has gone through over the last three years and is a time for celebration for the whole church community. Despite the astonishing challenges of a global pandemic, the church has managed to put its house in order and rebuild a community which had been struggling with conflict and disarray for some years. With a revitalised and efficient PCC, a positive Mission Action Plan and a strong team, St Aldhelm’s is looking forward to the future with confidence.
There are, of course, challenges ahead, not least the cost-of-living crisis and energy bills which are a serious threat to our financial sustainability. But we will do everything we can to serve God and our community in this place, steadfast in our trust in God who loves and forgive us as we try to be part of God’s kingdom here in Edmonton.
## **Financial Review and Results**
The church’s accounts for 2022 form part of this annual report and are set out on pages 10-15 of this document.
Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £97,700 (£90,136 in 2021) of which £49,966 was from hall lettings (£38,382 in 2021), £23,929 from the planned giving scheme (£26,911 in 2020), £9,943 from gift aid claims (£1,368 in 2021), and £1,479 from a special thanksgiving service. Total payments on unrestricted funds amounted to £101,524 (£84,923 in 2021), and we contributed £40,000 to the London Diocesan Common Fund (£37,000 in 2021).
There was restricted income of £45,115 in gifts and grants (£38,905 in 2021), and restricted payments of £36,357.
Page | 8
DocuSign Envelope ID: 24FC0368-5A96-42A6-8048-B8384E55CAF6
The net result for the year was an overall surplus of £4,934. The balance to carry forward at 31 December 2022 at the bank on unrestricted funds was £39,380 and on restricted funds, £13,484, a total of £52,864.
## **Thank you to our supporters**
At St Aldhelm’s we are grateful for the support of all our donors and value every gift, however large or small. We are particularly grateful to all those individuals who committed to give to St Aldhelm’s regularly through standing orders, to everyone who gave generously at our Thanksgiving Service and to people who made generous one-off donations.
In 2022 we also received several grants from trusts and foundations and we are deeply grateful for their help and support. We would like to express our thanks to:
- The Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage, delivered by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and Historic England, using funds provided by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport
- The Bellefontaine Trust
- The National Emergencies Trust
- The Household Support Fund provided by the Department of Work and Pensions.
- The Benefact Trust
- Enfield Community Food Project
- Magic Little Grants from the People’s Postcode Lottery
- Enfield Borough Council - Untold Edmonton Project
- The Diocese of London
The support we received enables us not only to continue to support our community but also to make improvements, the benefits of which will continue to bless us for years to come. Thank you.
## **Investment policy**
None of the church’s funds are permanently endowed, and in the event of any significant surplus funds ‐ arising the PCC will take advice to ensure safe long term growth commensurate with planned spending needs from time to time.
## **Reserves**
It is the PCC policy to try to maintain sufficient working capital to meet expenditure as incurred. It has agreed a level of unrestricted funds which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments, which amounts to about £25,000. Further, it has this year designated £10,000 for reshingling the spire. The balance of available unrestricted funds, as shown on the statement of assets and liabilities, is £39,380 and thus, at 31 December 2022, the PCC met its reserves policy and was a going concern.
## **Risk management**
The principal risks and uncertainties faced by St Aldhelm’s continue to be those that inevitably attend a small church. Themes in recent years have been the need to reduce reliance on rental income and to broaden the donor base from within the church membership, and the need to build up reserves to meet a backlog of maintenance work on the church building and Halls.
## **Conclusion**
This annual report and the associated accounts were approved by the Parochial Church Council on 2 May 2023 and signed on its behalf by:
Mthr Anna Stuttard Priest in Charge and PCC Chairman

## ST ALDHELM’S PCC, EDMONTON
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
I report on the financial statements of the church for the year ended 31 December 2022.
This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
