## **Statement of Public Benefit** 

The members of the PCC are aware of the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit in ‘The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit’ and have had regard to it in their administration of the PCC.  The PCC believes that by promoting the work of the Church of England in the parish of Christ Church, Sutton Surrey, it provides a benefit to the public by: 

- providing facilities for public worship and pastoral care both for its members and for anyone who wishes to benefit from what the church can offer; and 

- Promoting Christian values and service by members of the Church in and to their communities, to the benefit of individuals and society as a whole. 

. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. 

The PCC operates through a number of committees and working groups, which meet between full meetings of the PCC. These committees are set out below: 

## _Standing Committee:_ 

This is the only committee required by law and at present consists of the Vicar, the Churchwardens, the Treasurer and three members of the PCC. It has power to transact business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council. At its meeting in May 2012 the PCC agreed that the spending limit of the Standing Committee should be £2,500 on any individual item of expenditure. The Churchwarden’s overall spending limit is £500 to cover emergency spending and day to day running costs. 

## **Vicar’s Annual Meeting report (covering the calendar year 2020)** 

_Don’t stop meeting together with other believers, which some people have gotten into the habit of doing. Instead, encourage each other, especially as you see the day drawing near._ Hebrews 10:25 

2020 has been exceptionally challenging. At the beginning of this year ‘lockdown’ was a new word, rather than the all-too familiar way of life it’s become. We’ve been separated from the people we care about. We’ve seen people we love get sick; some have recovered, some are still recovering, some have died. We’ve lost jobs, been on long-term furlough, or been overworked. A generation of children have missed significant chunks of education.

A report like this can’t begin to touch the surface of how Covid-19 has touched us. And neither is this a place to comment on the tough decisions made by the government or our national church leaders. 

Our focus here is far more modest; the corporate life of Christ Church in 2020. Our usual ways of being church together have been taken from us, and that has meant that ‘business as usual’ has been interrupted. The Hebrews verse at the top of this report was one that came to mind a lot in the first few months of 2020. How did we go about being church when we couldn’t meet in our usual ways? 

**We’ve done much online.** I’m profoundly grateful to our treasurer Colin Iddles, in particular, for pioneering the Zoom technology that we’ve used for worship on Sundays, for Junior Church, for home groups, for prayer meetings and fellowship; and more recently for You Tube streaming from the building. I believe there are some profound reasons why worshipping, talking and praying together physically is better than doing so online. But that doesn’t stop online gathering from being a vital life-line for many of us. I don’t know what we’d have done without it. I know it is hard work to do online worship, prayer and fellowship. Thanks for persevering. We’ve had a steep learning curve- thanks for your patience. 

**We’ve opened the building when we’ve been able to.** I know that not everyone has been able, or felt able, to take advantage of the church being open for worship at the times it has been. Worshipping with masks on, sitting away from each other, and not being able to sing has made it hard. Not having Junior Church, or crèche has made it particularly difficult for children to join in, particularly smaller children and toddlers. In spite of this, worshipping in the building has been well received. We’ve gathered to hear God’s word, take Holy Communion together, and enjoy some fellowship.  Again, I am grateful to many people for making this possible; in particular I’d like to thank John Mitchell (churchwarden), Francesca Perlman (Ordinand), Jennifer Sibley and Colin Iddles for their organisation of this - for keeping on top of the regulations and ensuring we can worship together safely. I’m also glad that various groups have been able to use the building under our various ‘tier’ restrictions. Home groups have been able to meet safely in church, and we were able to offer ‘support groups’ in the midweek for those who were most isolated. 

**We’ve kept in touch in personal ways.** Our unofficial church WhatsApp group has been a significant way of keeping in touch. We’ve rung one another, and met when we can. Whilst this is something I personally did a lot of in the first months of lockdown, particularly to those who were more isolated, it is also something that has carried on in non-organised way. I’m sure that many of these ways of keeping fellowship will continue into the future. 

In a society where the church (or at least, the established church) is shrinking, and Christianity is considered to be increasingly less relevant, acceptable, and true, there is a tremendous amount that we can be grateful for. 

2020 has also seen some other changes. I was thrilled that we were able to open our new servery; we’ve been able to use it for a few Sundays after church. We look forward to being able to welcome more of the local community in to use it in future. I’m also glad that we now have LED lighting installed across the church- this will save money in time, and is better 

4 



for the environment. A particular thanks to Mike Bland, Colin Iddles, and all those who contributed towards the cost. 

In the autumn, we said goodbye to the Keen family. Simon, Catherine, Amy and Benjamin had been part of Christ Church for many years and have served in a number of ways (not least Catherine being a churchwarden) alongside their fellowship and commitment to the church. We miss them, but are glad that they are settling well into their new home and community in Cambridgeshire. 

In November, I had a stroke. This meant that I was off work for the entirety of our first (and hopefully last) ‘Covid’ Christmas. I’m particularly grateful to John and Colin for their organisation, Nigel Bennett (our Lay Minister) and Francesca for their input into services, and to the various people from the church who contributed so generously of their time to help make our Christmas outreach and worship possible. I’m also grateful to Revd. Charles Cotton and Revd. Martin Hayward who gave so much to us in Advent and Christmas. 

Looking ahead, there is much that I am looking forward to at Christ Church. I am hopeful that increased vaccinations and dropping infection rate will mean that we are able to worship and meet without the restrictions we have grown used to. 

In July of 2020, I wrote a pastoral letter to the church outlining my hopes for a growing sense of being ‘all together in ministry’.  I’m glad that we’ve seen some of this personal, organic ministry growing in 2020. My desire for 2021 is that our church would grow in this, that we would be equipped and encouraged to open our lives up to one another as fellow ministers; to take responsibility to live out the command to ‘love one another’. 

To that end, I’m hoping to offer some particular courses for 2021. One (Talking Jesus) is focussed on sharing our faith with others. The other (Real Change) is about the way that God changes each of us from the inside out. I hope that this course will be the basis for a growing inter-personal ministry within Christ Church. 

Reverend Phil Brooks 

## **Financial Review** 

Planned Giving increased significantly during 2020 by 15.3%, this was almost entirely due to Covid-19 and the response of the congregation to sustain the life and finances of the church. The increase in Planned Giving was accompanied by a decrease in collections. We managed to reduce expenditure compared to 2019 by around £3,000. Our overall fund balances increased by £69,131, in part due to bequests to the church amounting to £24,357. Going forward we need to strive to maintain the level of planned giving and continue to keep costs under control. 

Reserves Policy: The PCC maintains six months of operating cover for the general costs of the church plus any redundancy costs for employees (including Pre-school staff) of the PCC. 

## **Churchwarden’s Report** 

We began to realise early in 2020 that COVID 19 was going to cause a worldwide pandemic. However very few of us realised then that 2020 would end up being the most challenging year for Britain, as for many countries, since the Second World War.  Many in our nation got sick and sadly 

5 



some died, while others, even though they have recovered, have been left with the debilitating effects of long COVID. Virtually everyone in employment or in education was profoundly affected and had to find and adapt to new ways of working and learning and for many there were long periods of furlough.  There were times of separation from friends and family and we were unable to have any physical contact with some of our nearest and dearest. 

## **Public Worship during the Covid Pandemic and Lockdowns** 

## **The first Lockdown  - in March** 

There were also great challenges for the Church, with churches closed for public worship for many months. This was the first time this had happened in England for more than 800 years. (The previous occasion was because of a dispute between the Pope and King John!)  During the first Lockdown, which started on March 23, we were unable to worship together in our building, or even broadcast a service from there.  However by then our Treasurer Colin Iddles had set up the Church on Zoom and our Vicar Phil Brooks had prepared and posted to the congregation, a new special booklet with services of Morning, Evening and Night Prayer. So from the beginning of the first week of Lockdown onwards Morning and Evening prayer, Monday to Friday, have taken place on Zoom. 

On that first Sunday of Lockdown, 28 people joined together for the first of many Sunday mornings worshiping together on Zoom.  By the following Sunday, Palm Sunday, it was 69 people and by Easter Sunday, the number had grown to 82.  Our Junior Church also moved to Zoom with the team of Marian Iddles, Val Wilson and Jean Carver, continuing to provide exciting lessons and activities for our children. The few individuals who were unable to join in on Zoom could worship at home using the service booklet, although the ability of many of our older members to learn to use this new technology was amazing. Phone calls from the pastoral team, particularly our Vicar Phil Brooks and our Southwark Pastoral Auxiliary Sheila Collis, helped provide additional contact and support. 

## **Returning to public worship in July** 

In July we were able to worship again in church. However in order to do so we had to make a whole series of changes to make worship as Covid safe as possible and to follow both the legal and best practice guidelines from the government and the Church of England.  A major change was to have the congregation seated with two-metre social distancing. At Christ Church, this was greatly helped by our large church building.  I’m so grateful to Colin Iddles and Jennifer Sibley for all the work they did to make our return to public worship Covid safe, and to Bob Macey and many volunteers for making the new arrangements work each Sunday. 

At the beginning of July we started with Sunday evening services in the church.  Some of our octogenarians and nonagenarians were amongst the first and keenest to return to the church! Later in July we moved to having our 10.30 services both in Church and on Zoom. We started with about two-thirds in church and a third on Zoom rising as the year went on to about five-sixths in church.   In August we restarted our Sunday 8am Communion service.  Public worship in Church and on Zoom continued in this new “normal” until November. 

## **November to Christmas** 

At the beginning of November the second national lockdown came into force in England. This time, however, services could be broadcast from the church building, and we started doing so first on Zoom, and then also on YouTube. At the beginning of December England moved from Lockdown to a tier system, but under all tiers congregations were able to worship again in Church with all the 

6 



appropriate Covid safeguards. Christ Church was therefore able to return to public worship on December 6, three-quarters of the congregation coming to church and a quarter online. 

In late November we were all shocked to hear that our Vicar, Phil, had had a stroke.  Fortunately he has made a strong recovery, but he was off work for the rest of 2020. Two local “retired”, but very active Ministers, Charles Cotton and Martin Hayward, both of whom were well known to Christ Church, stepped into the breach and together with our Reader Nigel Bennett and our Ordinand in training Francesca Perlman were able to cover all our services. As well as all our regular Sunday services this included a busy Christmas with a Carol Service and a Christingle, ticketed to control numbers, and Communion services at midnight on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Morning. 

## **Other news** 

For seventeen years the Keen family have been an integral part of Christ Church, and served the church in many different ways. In March, just before the first lockdown, they made a long-planned move to Cambridgeshire.  They will all be greatly missed.  Amy and Benjamin at Junior Church, Simon particularly for his preaching and work on the PCC and Catherine for so much but particularly for her wonderful service during two periods as churchwarden. It was such a great privilege to work with her. 

Despite all the challenges of the pandemic, Christ Church undertook two major projects. A servery was built during the early summer to serve both the church and the community.  We also brought forward the conversion of the church lights to LED lighting to greatly reduce electricity usage and provide enough power for the servery. Both projects were completed in time for the church’s return to public worship in July.  A video streaming system was installed so public worship services could be streamed. My warmest thanks go to Colin Iddles who planned and project managed all this work in the challenging environment of the pandemic.  Our electronic organ was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain, however St John’s Stoneleigh gave us a much newer and better functioning Eminent organ, which they no longer needed. This was installed in time for our Christmas services. 

Since the Spring we were able to host Hope Church for two worship services every Sunday afternoon as the school where they usually met has so far not been able to accommodate them during the Pandemic. We were also able to host support groups of up to 15 people, for both the church and the community, which met three afternoons a week. Our fellowship groups and Community Wednesdays continued as usual, meeting on Zoom when they could not meet in person. 

## **Final reflections** 

Throughout 2020 we were able to maintain public worship in Church, except when this was precluded by law, when we then worshiped online. We were also able to continue to serve the wider community during this very challenging period.  For all this I am very grateful to Phil, Colin, and many others. It has been so encouraging to see the team at Christ Church working together to enable our church community to worship together, albeit without congregational singing, and to continue to learn and grow in our walk with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 

## **John Mitchell, Churchwarden** 

## **BLUEBIRDS BABY & TODDLER GROUP** 

The last time Bluebirds was held before Corona Virus struck was 16th March 2020. Before that we were meeting as usual in the Hall from 1.45-3.00 pm on a Monday afternoon, providing lots of toys and activities for the children and a chance for parents to meet and make new friends while their children played. 

7 



Because we used to advertise Bluebirds on NetMums, several new parents who had babies during Lockdown got in touch, desperate for social contact. With the Vicar’s agreement and the help of Colin Iddles we were allowed to set up a Support Group for a limited number of parents and babies at the back of the church in November and December. We have since had to close this during the subsequent Lockdown as all the children are now on the move and social distancing of parents would be very difficult. 

I am very grateful to Anne Mercer and Miriam Quinlan who have continued to help with both these groups despite the difficulties we’ve faced in the past year, and to Heath Huntley who helped with Bluebirds till we had to close down.

## **SPA Report 2020** 

Sheila Collis and Mary Robini have continued to serve as SPAs (Southwark Pastoral Auxiliaries) at Christ Church, with Mary resuming her role at Easter 2020 following her marriage and subsequent sabbatical. As with all other activities, the ministry has felt very different due to the restrictions imposed by Coronavirus and lockdown and being unable to visit residential homes. 

Mary, supported by her husband Graham, established a community support group, aimed at those who were unable to attend church and didn’t have access to online services, which was greatly valued. This was a small group within the guidelines allowed by the government. 

Sheila has fulfilled a co-ordinating role during the year and kept in touch on the phone with people we are in contact with. This particularly applied to those unable to be a part of the church community online. Fortunately local voluntary agencies provided an excellent network and little church help was needed. The pastoral team has also been able to meet online with Sheila co-ordinating. 

Both Mary and Sheila have been able to join online workshops and retreats to enable their ministry and meet with fellow SPAs.

## **Sutton South Hello** 

was set up in 2012 as a result of collaboration between local Councillors, associations, residents and churches with the help of our Sutton South Safer Neighbourhood police team and voluntary organisations like Age UK Sutton. Heather Honour, a former Councillor, chairs the Board and has worked hard to involve all aspects of the community in the project. Christ Church has played a significant role in the work of Sutton South Hello not least by the provision of facilities, particularly the hall, for its activities. 

It was launched at Christ Church, in Christchurch Park, on 9 May 2013 by the Care Minister, Liberal Democrat MP Norman Lamb, and was the pilot for similar initiatives elsewhere in the Borough. 

Sutton South Ward was chosen as, on the basis Campaign to End Social Isolation toolkit, it is a Ward where the risk of social isolation is particularly high: the Ward has the highest 

8 



proportion of over 65’s of any Ward in Sutton; the proportion over 85 is double the Sutton and national average; there are a large number of people living in sheltered accommodation for the elderly or in single occupancy flats; over three quarters of residents live in purposebuilt blocks of flats; almost half of all households are single person households. 

Hello produces quarterly newsletters in which it informs residents about local activities and where to go to for advice. The newsletters are also widely distributed via pharmacies, doctors’ surgeries, other local churches and sheltered accommodation. 

Hello is very diverse and has strong links with Asian organisations for older people in the area. Christmas, Diwali (the Festival of Light), Bonfire Night, Easter and other times of significance have been featured in the calendar of events in previous years. 

Each week the Wednesday Hello Club meets at Christ Church Community Hall between 2pm and 4pm for games, chat and guest speakers. 

On Thursdays, between 2.45pm and 4.30pm, Hello Arts and Crafts invites local people to share their skills and learn new ones. 

From mid-March onwards our activities were severely curtailed as we moved in to Lockdown One. We moved to communicating with those known to us by phone and/or email. Since then we have produced a new newsletter The Lockdown Times which has been produced almost monthly, printed and posted out. There have also been a series of make at home arts and crafts projects that have been very popular. 

For a brief period in early autumn we restarted Wednesday and Thursday meetings but had to stop again in late October. Following that we set up focused, small scale Support Groups meeting in the church that met each week until Christmas, at which point we paused - again! 

Hello has always encouraged its members to fundraise for a variety of charities, so during the autumn we raised over £220 for The Children’s Society. 

Hopefully 2021 will see a return to normality, at which time we will resume but meeting in the church rather than the hall on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. 

Colin Iddles 

## **Activity afternoons** 

During 2020, we were unable to run any craft activity afternoons as the large number of children and adults involved prevented us from safely running them. 

Marian Iddles 

## **Community Wednesday Report 2020** 

Community Wednesday has been gathering momentum over the last couple of years; it’s been encouraging to see a stabilized and growing group of people from the local community 

9 



coming along. As ever, I encourage church members to take advantage of this opportunity for fellowship and community engagement. The lockdown of March 2020 meant that we could no longer meet in person; I’m grateful to John, Bob and Sheila for being so faithful in attending online. In the summer, we had a few weeks where we could meet in the community garden, which was well received. I hope that in 2021 we’ll be able to grow momentum for this again and welcome in some new people. 

## **Silent Prayer Group Annual Report** 

During the Covid Pandemic the Silent Prayer Group has been meeting on the third Monday of every month, at 12 noon, on Zoom. We have a reading followed by about 30 minutes of silent prayer. Once lockdown comes to an end we hope to be able to meet once again in the church office where our period of prayer we will be followed by fellowship time and a frugal lunch.  All are welcome. 

Estelle Ghose 

## **Junior Church** 

Junior Church sessions have been held every Sunday throughout the year. Very varied topics from both the old and new testaments have been studied. Generally, between six and ten children have actively participated in each session, this included stories, craft activities and prayer. Grateful thanks to Val, Marian and Colin Iddles (who made Zoom possible) for us to carry this out. 

Jean Carver. 

## **Deanery Synod** 

Two meetings of Deanery Synod have been held. Discussion on the role of Deanery Synod have been have been particularly focused upon. 

Jean Carver. 

## **Safeguarding** 

All disclosures have been reviewed and updated as appropriate. For those wishing to view courses, some are offered on line and can be accessed on the Southwark website.
