It is part of the Diocese of Chichester within the Church of England. All correspondence should be addressed to the Church Administrator, All Saints’ Church, 22a Grange Road, Eastbourne, East Sussex BN21 4HE. The parish is a charity and has registered with the Charity Commission. Our Charity number is 1132297.

Members are warmly encouraged to stand for election to the PCC and we try to ensure a balance of skills and experience where possible. The PCC is responsible for a wide range of matters affecting the parish, including compliance with health and safety and disability legislation and child protection. In their capacity as trustees, members of the PCC are responsible for the stewardship of funds and for the appropriate accounting and reporting of the parish finances. The PCC works to ensure that each member of the committee is equipped to fulfil their role. New members of the PCC are welcomed at the first PCC after the APCM and care is taken to help them assume the responsibilities of their role. The PCC Secretary and Treasurer are also elected at this meeting. The Churchwardens, Secretary and Treasurer are invited to attend courses run by the Diocese on their particular work. Regular mailings from the Diocese keep these officers up to date with changes in church regulations and financial procedure and these are reported to the whole PCC as appropriate. The PCC has appointed Jo Whiteman as Safeguarding Officer who is responsible for the implementation of the PCC’s Safeguarding Policy and which includes ensuring that a DBS (Data Barring Service) search is conducted on all those who work with children and vulnerable adults in the church. The PCC arranges for a representative of appropriate church groups to attend First Aid courses. The Wardens and Deputy Wardens are made familiar with fire prevention and appropriate procedures by the local Fire Safety Officer. This training is renewed regularly. ## **Committees** ## _Standing and Finance Committee_ This is the only committee required by law. It has the power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to the powers given to it by the Council. It also oversees the general financial dimension of the work of All Saints’ by monitoring income and expenditure, budgeting and maintaining appropriate financial controls and making an annual review of the Christian Stewardship of money through planned giving. ## _Pastoral sub-Committee_ Organises the visiting of the housebound and sick and has general care of the welfare of all Church members. During 2023 three people, Mrs Beryl Twitchett, Mr Bernard Watts and Mrs Christine Costambeys have continued as pastoral care coordinators to help with the pastoral care of the parish. These co-ordinators are assisted by many in the congregation to help with pastoral care. Small Groups take on much Pastoral Care as well. ## _Missions sub-Committee_ Attends to the support of mission agencies and helps allocate our financial support to the same. It has been chaired by Revd James Knowles (Vicar). Page **3** of **6** ## _Staff team and staff meetings_ Strictly speaking these are not PCC subcommittees but they operate with the full knowledge and support of the PCC and for the sake of tidiness are best included here. The staff team look broadly at the life of the church, not to make policy or financial decisions but to implement the Mission and Ministry prioritise of the church. The weekly staff meetings consist of times of bible study and prayer and then to look thoroughly at our programme and make sure that things are in place for the smooth operating of church life. The staff do a considerable amount of planning of events and activities. The staff seek to make sure volunteers are in place and are supported. The staff make sure that all the details connected with Sunday Worship are in place and that the issues each staff member would wish to raise are attended to. ## **Objectives and Activities** The primary objective of All Saints’ PCC is the promotion of the Gospel of our Risen Lord Jesus Christ according to the historic and orthodox biblical doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission and ministry of the Church. The main objectives of the PCC are: - To seek to promote the mission of All Saints’ Church, - To develop the ministry within All Saints’ Church, - To promote, assist and enable quality discipleship and worship. - To maintain the Church buildings in good repair. - To administer the church’s resources with good stewardship ## **Review of the Year** All Saints is an Evangelical Church. This means we have a deep love for the Lord Jesus Christ who has rescued us from the dominion of darkness by his death on the cross and by rising to new life he has brought us into the Kingdom of God. We hold to a genuine belief that the Bible is God’s inspired and authoritative word. In all things we want to be shaped by what the scriptures tell us about God, our lives and doctrine. We seek to keep refining and growing in our love and knowledge of the scriptures, and we seek to organise our church family and all our activities accordingly. Our Sunday gatherings continue to be our weekly highlight to gather as church family and to hear God’s word so we can be conformed to the joyful people Jesus has redeemed us to be. In response to God’s good news for us in Jesus, we continue to make music and sing joyfully to the Lord with the help of our wonderful musicians. Our prayer ministry team and those who lead intercession have had an incredible influence on our church life this past year. We have had a varied Sunday teaching programme from different parts of the scriptures to help build us up in the faith. From Matthew’s gospel showing us Jesus’ fulfilment as the Messiah and his Kingdom priorities, to Isaiah’s epic prophecies about the coming of the Messiah and his achievements, to Psalm 119 reminding us to delight in the bible as God’s wonderful word. The book of James challenged us to live wholeheartedly for Jesus, to guard our tongues and be doers of God’s word. In our evening service we Page **4** of **6** looked at the book of Revelation to encourage us to keep looking to the lamb on the throne – the Lord Jesus Christ and to long for his return and the Holy City. Given the national churches situation we looked at the very relevant letter of Jude, which exhorted us to hold onto the gospel which was once delivered to the saints. With God’s word in the driver’s seat at All Saints our vision of Jesus and his Kingdom has continued to grow, and people have come to faith and grown in faith. We have Baptised new believers and celebrated lost sheep coming back to the Lord. We have thanked God for godly saints now past on, and we have welcomed new brothers and sisters into our church fellowship. We continue to live-stream our services for the benefit of the sick, and housebound, but also recognising the missional opportunities to use social media in the local care homes. The many small groups have taken our Sunday teaching programme and gone into further practical application throughout the year. These groups predominantly use notes and resources from the Vicar to equip them to apply the scriptures to our daily lives. In all our teaching we have sought to help build up disciples of Christ in the Kingdom of God, empowered by the Holy Spirit. We realise that we cannot achieve our church priorities in our own strength but rely totally on God’s grace and the power of His Holy Spirit. Therefore, in 2023 we have intentionally sought to be faithful and fruitful. The prayer walking group is active in praying for the parish and we have seen wonderful fruit from this endeavour. The monthly church family prayer meeting has been advertised and prioritised, with a growing recognition amongst the church family that we go forward in humble prayer. We continue to be a parish church who are outward-looking, and keen to reach all parts of the parish with the gospel. We are able to signpost people with specific needs to well-established Christian and NonChristian organisations while focusing on a warm, pastoral, prayerful gospel-centred ministry to groups and individuals in the parish. We continue to recognise and encourage the spiritual gifts within the congregation to transform lives for Jesus. Many people are responding by serving the church family with their gifts and serving the wider community by helping a Christian Charity around town to help the poor and needy, while being an ambassador of Christ. There is much work which goes on to enable parish ministry and Mission to continue. The churchwardens, tech team and fabric team have achieved an incredible amount this year in not only maintaining the building and fabric but enhancing it for gospel use. We continue to worship and minister in a safe and welcoming building. The PCC and church family wish to express again their great thanks to Andy Anderson who as Treasurer continues to give so much of his time to keep the finances in order and to encourage us to be generous givers to gospel mission in response to God’s extravagant generosity to us in Jesus Christ. At every meeting PCC has received a Safeguarding report from the Parish Safeguarding Officer. Thanks is given especially this year for the service of Jo Whiteman as the Parish safeguarding officer and Hilary Dale the church administrator for their diligence and sacrificial service. We thank every member of the All-Saints church family for their time, skills and generosity given in service of Jesus Christ this year. May the Lord Jesus be glorified by all we seek to do in his name. Amen. Page **5** of **6** ## _Church Attendance_ In 2023, there were 220 members on the Church electoral roll. People who cease attending, unless they are homebound, are pruned from the electoral roll so it gives a good idea of the numbers attending. We also have a number of visitors most Sundays. ## **Financial Review** The total incoming and expenditure resources on general unrestricted funds were £612,954 (2022: £267,354) and £382,772 (2022: £330,939) respectively and are detailed in the financial statements. Planned giving through envelopes, bankers' orders and online increased by £694 to £129,668 (2022: £128,974). Total voluntary income - including tax recovered but excluding legacies - decreased by £268 to £183,911 (2022: £184,179). The PCC received legacies in the year totalling £314,124 (2022: £4,934), and Grants from the Ludlow (Richardson) Trust totalling £51,900, and £1,293.80 from the Listed Places of Worship VAT reclaim scheme. The largest ordinary expenditure of the PCC was the sum of £66,900 (2022: £76.968) paid to the Diocese to cover ministry costs. This amount covers the housing and stipend and pension costs of the clergy and also a standard sum for diocesan central costs, clergy training and a contribution to national church funds. In 2024, All Saints' has pledged to pay £65,000. There was a substantial increase in unrestricted incoming resources of £302,504 in 2023 due to Legacies and Grants, and “ordinary" church expenses increased by £51,833, resulting in a surplus on General Funds this year of £230,181 compared to a deficit of £63,585 last year. Overall there was a surplus of £206,497 (2022: -£98,510), taking into account all costs, particularly depreciation, charged to the Restricted Funds. The PCC has earmarked £78,945 of the surplus as 3 months of Reserves (see below). So although we entered 2023 in a fairly precarious position, we have ended 2023 in a healthy financial position, but our budget still shows a predicted deficit and continued careful budgeting will be necessary moving forward. The PCC are keen to work towards a balanced budget, and not to have to use reserves to ‘plug the gap’. The Standing Committee and the PCC constantly reviewed our financial situation throughout the year, but income levels have remained static, whereas costs have risen for a variety of world-wide reasons. Going forward, to achieve a balanced budget whilst maintaining our excellent level of mission and ministry will not be an easy task, when the General Fund per se is in deficit and being covered by legacy income. ## **Reserves Policy** It is PCC intention to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds (excluding property) which equates to approximately 3 months' worth of unrestricted payments as a contingency against unforeseen situations. The PCC agreed to set aside a sum of £78,945 which meets this requirement. The PCC policy is to invest surplus balances with The Royal Bank of Scotland (in a special interest-bearing account).

Respettlve responslblllties of trustees and examlner The members of the PCC tonsider that an audit Is not required for this year under section 144121 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination 15 needed. It is my responsibility to: examine the actounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act follow the procedures laid down In the General Directlons given by the Charity Commission under section 14515llbl of the 2011 Act , and state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basls of Independent examlnerfs report My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Chority Commission. An examinatlon includes a revlew of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a compari50n of the accounts presented with those records.
