ST JOHN THE EVANGELIST, UPPER ST LEONARD’S Minutes of the Annual Meeting of Parishioners And the Annual Parochial Church Meeting 8 May 2022 following Sunday Mass

Annual Meeting of Parishioners 12 noon 29 persons present

1 Welcome and Prayers

Fr David Hill opened the meeting with prayer and thanked those present for attending.

2 Election of Churchwardens

Mike Cooper was proposed by Andrew Crighton and seconded by Ed Towner. Barbara Fentiman was proposed by L Dawes and seconded by A Dawes. They were unanimously elected by all present, with no abstentions.

On behalf of all at St John’s, Fr David thanked them both for their hard work and service throughout the year. They would be blessed at the next Mass.

Annual Parochial Church Meeting 12.05pm

1 Apologies for absence 29 parishioners attended the meeting. Apologies were received from Carol Cabban, Carol Frost, John Townsend, Barbara Fentiman and Jude Harvey. 2 Minutes of the 2021 APCM previously made available. The spelling of Mrs Vicki Green was corrected. Proposal that the Minutes be accepted was made by Veronica Goddard and seconded by Katy Harper. This was unanimously agreed, and the minutes were signed by Fr David in the Chair as a true record. 3 Matters Arising There were no matters arising.

4 Reports for the year 2021 Reports were given verbally, with questions invited by the Chair from those present. 4.1 Clare Cooper, Electoral Roll Officer read the report to those assembled. She had posted the electoral roll certificate to the church door and submitted the numbers on roll to Church House. There were no questions arising.

4.2 Alan Privett, Treasurer, delivered his Finance Report summary. Attendees noted the content. He reported that the new auditor had not been able to complete the look at the accounts in time for the meeting, but that the draft would be shown to the PCC for inspection.

Discussion took place around the Parish Share that St John had agreed to pay for the year, how the proportion was arrived at for the churches in the parish and that the aim was to grow the contribution to 100% over time. It was agreed that focusing on mission was more positive than the worry of making a payment that could not be sustained.

Proposal: That the APCM delegate the decision to adopt the 2021 Accounts to the PCC after the recommendations have been received and resolved, as necessary. All present agreed that the PCC should receive the accounts, act on the auditor’s recommendations and adopt the finals.

Decision: The PCC will circulate the prepared accounts to the wider church ahead of adoption.

4.3 Mike Cooper, Churchwarden, delivered the Fabric Report prepared by Barbara and himself. He reported that the church had continued to seek DAC approval for the reordering of the building throughout 2021, and the hope was that consent would be granted soon. There had been storm damage to the tower louvres early in the year and road traffic damage to the boundary wall. Thankfully both were covered by insurance for repair.

Security had been improved through the installation of CCTV and an increase in police patrols around in the grounds. Anti-social behaviour had decreased substantially as a result, leaving the gardens a calm environment for all to enjoy. There were thanks given for the work of the gardening team and the rota of volunteers who help to keep the church open during the week. A generous donation funded the upgrade to the sound system which solved the distracting noise that had been plaguing services for a number of weeks.

Throughout 2021, everyone worked together to restore normality to services in a safe way, as well as hosting online sessions for those unable to meet for prayer and posting the Sunday Mass online. Mr Cooper extended thanks to Fr David, the pastoral team and all the volunteers at St John’s for their service and work to build a strong witness and mission to the community. There were no follow-up questions.

4.4 Jenny Barfoot, Parish Safeguarding Office, reported that there had been no incidents of concern reported in 2021, and that successful DBS checks had been completed for those needing them. Safeguarding and e-safety policies had been reviewed and updated to include the new CCTV recording system. Mrs Barfoot reported that regular virtual training was in place was PSOs across the diocese. There were no questions arising.

4.5 Fr David thanked all the officers for their reports and presented his review of 2021, as circulated. He said that the range of online services on offer was invaluable for those unable, or unwilling, to join in regular in-person worship following relaxation of the pandemic restrictions. However, he acknowledged that it had been difficult to reconnect with everyone post-pandemic.

In league with five other local churches, he was pleased to report that Godly Play was restarting in the afternoons, for the children in the parish. A lot of hard work had been done by many people to get the combined initiative off the ground, and he extended thanks to all concerned.

As indicated in Mrs Cooper’s report, there was a small rise in numbers at St John’s with many new faces. Fr David welcomed Charmaine Hill as a Licensed Reader. He also reported on his work at care homes and opportunities for online assemblies in schools.

Fr David expressed his continued gratitude at being Rector of St John’s and for the words of support both he and the clergy team had received. There were no questions arising.

7	Thank yous Fr David thanked the Sidespersons and Welcomers at St John’s and said that the small team was being rebuilt. Volunteers were asked to speak to Mike Cooper if they wanted to join. Fr David reported that the PCC Secretary, Cheryl Kuit, had relocated to Kent. He thanked her for all that she had done to support him and the PCC since 2020. On behalf of the PCC, Fr David presented her with a small token of appreciation.
8	Appointment of Independent Examiners for the Church Accounts Fr David advised that until the final accounts had been adopted, the decision to appoint should be deferred. All present agreed to wait. Decision: The PCC will review the decision to appoint the auditor after the final accounts have been received and advise accordingly.
9	AOB Katy Harper proposed a vote for thanks for the Office Administrator, Tina Garton, who had excellently supported the Treasurer, the Hall Committee and Fr David. St John’s was in a strong position with its Hall bookings, office systems and processes, and Mrs Garton needed to be publicly thanked for her service. Fr David added that Tina had rescinded her resignation as she also enjoyed her work at St John’s. All present applauded the work and service of Mrs Garton.
	The Meeting closed at 12.45 pm with the Grace.

St John the Evangelist, Upper St Leonard’s Annual Re ort for 2022 p

Our aims and purposes as a charity

The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Revd David Hill in: ▪ Promoting the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England
Promoting the whole mission of the church, pastoral, social, evangelistic and ecumenical
Offering support and care without discrimination to people in the parish

What we planned to do to achieve our charitable objectives

We have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit including the specific guidance on ‘charities for the advancement of religion’.

The PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, by recognising its duty to have due regard to House of Bishops' guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.

Our plan for fulfilling our objectives can be considered under these headings

Welcoming people without discrimination to worship at our church and join our parish community
Offering worship, prayer and study in a variety of ways
Providing pastoral care for people living in the parish
Supporting organisations which provide assistance to local people in many kinds of need
Supporting organisations which run projects in other countries to help people in need
Maintaining the fabric of the church as a place of worship, as a beautiful, listed building and as a venue for the visual arts and music
Maintaining the fabric of the Church hall as a facility for the whole community
Maintaining the grounds and gardens in celebration of God’s creation and to offer a place of tranquillity for the benefit of local people

What we achieved and how we affected people’s lives

Welcoming people without discrimination to worship at our church and join our parish community

The church family comprises folk who live in the parish and those who live outside the boundary: all find at St John’s a “safe space” in which to explore the faith and their relation to it. Many rely on the support they gain here to carry out complex roles in society at large. No one is compelled to attend a church and so we view voluntary attendance to worship God as one demonstration of the public benefit of our activities.

The Electoral Roll for the year to 31st December 2022 closed at 136. This was a decrease of one from the previous December. However, 8 members died during the year, and some moved away so the final figure is due to the addition of several new members. 45 members were resident in the parish (33%) and 91 were non-resident (67%). 2022 saw St John’s continue to recover slowly from the Pandemic as restrictions were lifted and people have

gradually felt more confident in returning to collective worship. We have continued to offer both online ‘real time’ worship and have with variable degrees of success offered a video recording of the Parish Mass on a Sunday and also some of the major festivals of the church.

Offering worship, prayer and study in a variety of ways

Our worship is eucharistically focussed with two masses offered on a Sunday and one on a Wednesday. In addition, all the major festivals of the church are appropriately marked. Morning Prayer takes place in church every weekday. Many different people are involved in enabling the liturgy. For example, our Serving Team is diverse and includes members who have recently joined and those who have participated for decades. Not only does this enhance our worship but having a role can be a great benefit to the individuals themselves. 2022 has witnessed a regrowth of the team with people learning new roles within it.

St John’s is known for its music: many benefited greatly from the excellence of the choir and the organ playing. It is a great blessing to have such talented musicians and it is wonderful that the choir welcomed a couple of new members in the year.

We have also managed to keep St John’s open for private prayer for extended periods and this has contributed to the spiritual and mental wellbeing of both regular members and people who come seeking some peace and beauty in during the worrying times in which we are living.

From the beginning of the year with Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine we have had a small shrine established for people to pray for peace. We were open all night for people to pray after the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second and remained open as usual for many people to sign our book of condolence.

In July we enjoyed a beautiful service of baptism and confirmation presided over by Bishop Laurie for candidates with an extremely wide age range!

Every main service, except when technological disaster has struck, has also been available online through our website and on YouTube and this has been of benefit to people from all over the world.

Looking to the future it would be very good to enhance and develop our online activities. During the latter part of the year, we began to seek ways to revivify our home groups and this has been showing some encouraging results.

Providing pastoral care for people living in the parish

Pastoral care, by its nature, goes on unobtrusively but provides support for many folk in the parish.We have lay people who carry out chaplaincy work at the many care homes in the parish we meet regularly for planning and debrief sessions and we are recruiting new visitors and re-establishing links with the homes in the parish.The Ministry Team (clergy and lay) carried out pastoral work with a wide range of people. The Rector is the Honorary Chaplain of St Michael’s Hospice and our Deacon is the Assistant Chaplain to the Conquest Hospital, Bexhill Hospital, the Eastbourne DGH. Some of the clergy who worship with us provided eucharistic and pastoral support in other parishes when there was need.

The Tuesday Group is a drop-in playgroup which meets in our Church Hall. It was set up over 20 years ago to try to meet some of the needs of the area. This is still an area of considerable deprivation with high levels of poverty amongst children under five in some parts of the town - housing, financial problems, personal problems are difficulties that many families face on a daily basis. But they know that the group will be there on Tuesday morning and for a short time they are amongst friends who support them. It is wonderful that the

group has begun to be revivified during 2022 with brilliant volunteers and increased sharing of responsibility by parents and carers. Some of our ‘old girls’ are regular visitors!

Healing Ministry. This important ministry at St John’s has been in abeyance for obvious reasons, but we were planning towards the latter part of 2022 to find new ways to practice it.

Supporting organisations which provide assistance to local people in many kinds of need

At our Harvest festival many generously donated tins and packets and other gifts in aid of the Seaview Project (a wellbeing centre offering help and inspiration for people living on society's margins). Many full boxes were gratefully received by Seaview who commented that the provision was 100% relevant.

We hosted The Posh Club as and when this was possible during 2022. By way of explanation in normal times Posh Club provides high tea with entertainment and is set up to help older folks get out and have fun.

We give support by offering the Hall and the Church at reduced rates to help with charitable endeavours that align with the Marks of Mission. Our buildings are particularly creatively used in supporting the performing arts and groups supporting folks with various vulnerabities.

We also collected items for donation to the local Food Bank.

Supporting organisations which run projects in other countries to help people in need

Christian Aid needs no introduction. We raise funds for Christian Aid throughout the year as well as during Christian Aid Week and £2770 was donated during 2022. We thank our congregation for their generosity.

Many of the congregation support Building Better Futures International , a small charity that seeks to provide the means of self-help in South India. Our own Bishop Laurie is one of the trustees and he reports back to us regularly on the practical results of our giving.

Maintaining the fabric of the church as a place of worship, as a beautiful, listed building and as a venue for the visual arts and music

Our church continues to be appreciated by our parishioners and many others as a space where life events are celebrated with joy and thanksgiving including weddings, baptisms and anniversaries. As well as routine maintenance of the church and hall there are numerous smaller jobs that crop up. Many people help out in so many ways and give generously of their time and resources.

The Church building is well known for being a venue for musical events that are attended by a wide range of people within the parish and further afield.

It is important to us that the church is available for private prayer and reflection not just to the church family but to the wider community. People comment on the sense of peacefulness and spirituality that pervades the church.

Maintaining the fabric of the Church Hall as a facility for the whole community

The hall was booked out seven days a week with regular and one-off bookings across the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. The Tuesday Group, The Posh Club and many community benefit organisations and small businesses were among our regular users – as mentioned elsewhere in this report. We are grateful to the Hall Committee for its work in maintaining and developing the hall and the great work of our parish administrator in managing bookings and ironing out problems!

The range of classes run at the hall was very varied, including singing, line dancing for older people, indoor bowls, cooking, children's yoga and art workshops as well various exercise classes such as tai chi, piloxing, and Pilates.

Our hire charge is pitched to cover heating, lighting and other costs but is kept as low as possible to enable local groups and individuals to benefit.

The renovations and upgrades of the previous years have proved extremely popular and hall users get the impression that we care about them because we care about the environment, we offer them. After decades the hall windows were refurbished in 2022 and now look wonderful.

Maintaining the grounds and gardens in celebration of God’s creation and to offer a place of tranquillity for the benefit of local people

Our church is surrounded by gardens and a great amount of time and effort has been expended by our volunteer gardeners. The result is a pleasant place for folk to walk through as they cut the corner between the two roads, and for some to stop and enjoy. The Community Compost Bins Project continues to be much appreciated too. This has been very successful both environmentally and socially.

The ongoing work in producing our own compost and in collecting rainwater from the hall roof have resulted in a gradually evolving eco-friendly and diverse habitat. We have also seen an increase in insect life as well as seasonal colour and contributions to the floral arrangements in church. We continue to be very grateful for voluntary donations of plants or funds to help this work.

Special thanks go to Mary Cain, Veronica Goddard, Sally and Libby Waters for their mostly unseen work, and strong commitment to the witness of St John’s in providing an oasis of beauty and tranquillity in our Parish.

Our commitment to caring for God’s earth and all the beauty that surrounds us means that we remain a Bronze Eco Church with the environmental charity A Rocha UK .

Churchwarden report

Being a churchwarden here at St Johns for 6 or so years has been a real privilege. It has been made so much more enjoyable by working alongside many helpful and dedicated people. I am especially grateful to our administrator Tina who works so hard behind the scenes to make me and others look as if we know what we are doing. My thanks also to Barbara and David Fentiman particularly for work on the reordering project. I am so sorry David is no longer with us. Looking back further than just 2022, we can reflect on how we managed Covid and its restrictions on worship and church life. The challenge now is to continue to rebuild some of what we lost during that time but also to find new ways in worship, fellowship and service to the community.

Although the focus of the role of churchwarden is often on the fabric of the church and maintaining and repairing the building, I have tried to support and encourage us all to follow Jesus who is much more concerned with people than property. However, below are a few items from our regular Fabric reports to the PCC during 2022 showing what has happened to the building.

January CCTV working well enabling us to open the church more for everyone to use.

February Sound system upgrade. I hope you agree this works well now.

March South wall car damage. Storm damage to louvres and baptistry roof. Extra security lighting fitted.

Extremely slow progress has been made on the reordering of the church (but we are nearly there!) Our reo`rdering will include a coffee/tea facility at the back of church, better disabled access and improved storage, fire exit and lighting.

July Plans to move church office to the church hall - grateful thanks to Rev’d David Fentiman Renovation of church doors - thank you Lesley

October Grant for defibrillator obtained from the Lions and then fitted in December. We hope to have some training sessions arranged soon.

Lastly, I am extremely pleased that we have two excellent new churchwardens to serve St Johns, please support them with your prayers and practical help.

Mike Cooper

Financial review

Financial Summary

The total receipts in general unrestricted funds were £148,424 and are detailed in the Financial Report. The planned giving though direct debits and standing orders raised £67,590. The Parish Giving Scheme total of £59660 includes Gift Aid recovered by the Diocese on our behalf of £10985. A further £2878 of Gift Aid was recovered through planned giving and donations.

Sharing the ministry costs of the Diocese of Chichester

The largest expenditure of the PCC was the sum of £59,473 paid to the diocese for our share of all churches’ Parish Ministry Costs. This amount contributes to the housing, stipend and pension costs of the clergy and a percentage towards diocesan central costs, clergy training and a contribution to national church funds. The PCC have agreed to increase this annual amount to £60,000 for 2023.

Staff costs

The PCC pays for our Parish Administrator and three part time cleaning team members.

Why we hold some money in reserve

It is PCC policy to maintain a current account balance on the general unrestricted funds (excluding property) which equates to approximately one to two months’ worth of unrestricted payments. The parish also holds a substantial reserve as a result of a legacy, which is not restricted to a particular purpose. It is on deposit with our bank in a fund to which the PCC has easy access (i.e. it acts as a deposit account).

As well as holding the above general reserves, from time to time the PCC receives restricted legacies for expenditure on particular purposes, defined by the donor. The legacy of Hazel Freedman comes into this category.

Key figures

The net movements in funds are perhaps the key figures. They show a deficit of £8419.

We withdrew funds from the Deposit Account to help pay for works to the Church Hall which include refurbishment, and the construction of a new Administrator’s office. The cost of these works was around £14,000, supported by a grant of £4,000 from the Isabel Blackman Trust. Income from church centre hire amounted to £20,726. There were also one-off donations totalling £9,762, and legacies totalling £12,000.

General fund

The receipts have been presented in some detail so that the giving shows planned giving, weekly collections, other donations and fundraising.

Charitable Giving

One of the restricted funds is for charitable giving, such as special collections, gifts given through the church and the sale of books. The charities most supported in these ways are Christian Aid and the Mission to Seafarers.

Other gifts to charities are also given by the church, in the form of cheques made out to the particular charity. Such gifts are not shown in these accounts.

It is also known that many church members actively support a range of Christian (and other) charities. The church additionally supports local charities by offering free use of the church and hall for their activities, and by hosting charity fundraising events e.g. concerts, for the benefit of others.

Restricted and designated funds

Outward giving: The accounts show a credit balance of £152, as donations to Christian Aid were received just before the year end. These funds have now all been passed on to the charities supported by the PCC and for which the funds were given.

Hazel Freedman bequest

No withdrawals have been made this year against this account.

Structure, governance and management of the charity

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is registered with the Charity Commission as required by the Charities Act 2011. Registered Charity no. 1132339

The PCC’s governing document is the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956.

During 2022 the following served as members of the Parochial Church Council:

Ex Officio members Incumbent Fr David Hill (Chair) Deacon Rev’d Michael Turnbull Pastoral Assistant Jenny Barfoot Church Wardens Michael Cooper Barbara Fentiman Deanery Synod Charmaine Hill Diocesan Synod Andrew Crighton Elected Members Marion Nicholson Louise Spice Katy Harper Lesley Crighton Assistant Church Warden Jenny Barfoot Parish Safeguarding Officer Appointed Alan Privett Treasurer Co-opted Anne Boles Lead Recruiter Appointed Veronica Byrom Secretary – from April 2022

Membership of the PCC is set out in the Church Representation Rules and consists of exofficio members, the churchwardens, members of the Deanery Synod and up to 12 members of the church who are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM). Members are warmly encouraged to stand for election to the PCC and are given support to understand and fulfil their role.

The PCC met 7 times during 2022 using Zoom, and the average attendance was 88%.

Our Deanery Synod representatives report back to the PCC regularly on matters discussed at the meetings (usually held 4 times per year). The Rector is the Rural Dean of Hastings.
