REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES

Parish Overview

During 2022, the Vicar served as a member of the selection and interview panel for the new Bishop of Kensington, so it was a particular joy for various members of our congregation to be present for her service of commissioning as our new Area Bishop at St Barnabas Church, Kensington, on the 19[th] February 2023.

One of the highlights of 2023 was the ordination to the diaconate of our ordinand The Revd Pippa Fernée at St Paul’s Cathedral. Pippa came to our parish as an ordinand on placement in October 2022 while undertaking part-time ordination training at St Mellitus College. On 8[th] March, Pippa also took on the role of part-time Parish Manager. She now serves as our non-stipendiary Curate (2 days a week) and as paid Parish Manager (4 days a week).

With our administrative function thus strengthened and a growing clergy team in prospect the parish was wellplaced to begin planning for the future. On Saturday 25[th] March, the PCC met together for a PCC Away Day led by the Revd Jonathan Rust, to begin the process of developing a new 5 year Mission Action Plan.

Page | 7

Following the Away Day, a draft MAP was further refined over the coming months, with new Mission and Vision statements agreed as follows:

Mission Statement

“ The Parish of St Clement & St James exists to make Christ known in word and deed, welcoming and serving in our local community as we journey together.”

Vision Statement

“ An inspiration for our neighbourhood: we aim to be a diverse, thriving, inclusive, and spiritually confident church.”

A Mission Action Group, comprising Revd Gareth Wardell, Revd Nick Morris, Revd Pippa Fernee, Oluwakemi Soyege, Rachel Carr, Harry Davies and Matthew Barrett now meets periodically with a focus on helping the parish to meet the aims agreed in the last APCM, and set out here in our new Mission Action Plan and related to each church as follows:

1. Flourishing Congregations:

St James

We have continued to worship at our regular time of 9:45 am, consolidating a pattern of a more youthful focused All-age worship on the 1st Sunday of the month, offering anointing for healing on the 2nd Sunday, and continuing to offer a Sunday School on Sundays during term-time.

As from 1[st] October, an 8 am Eucharist was reinstated on the 1st Sunday of each month, offering a contemplative alternative to the All-age service, using the BCP (Book of Common Prayer) liturgy. The average attendance is currently between 6-8 people.

St Clement

A greater intention towards St Clement Church, with particular resolve to avoid the unnecessary cancellation of services, other than for agreed joint services, has led numbers to hover around 20 Sunday by Sunday. A postservice lunch for members of St Clement’s Church was planned for January 2024 to help foster a sense of unity. If successful, further St Clement Church lunches will be repeated.

We have seen a modest increase in the attendance of young people at St Clements on Sundays. Whilst this is somewhat irregular, they have been coming along, notably with their grandparents. Numbers vary from one child to at least five, but sadly we still lack the consistency of regular numbers which would easily lead to the establishment of a “Sunday School.” Often, and with delight on both parts, some of the young people have been engaged in serving during the Mass. Some adults have volunteered to offer a little time to help with a Sunday School, perhaps every month. The provision of a Sunday School at St Clement remains a prayerful priority for the parish.

2. Outward Focus

St James is being opened four days a week for silent prayer. It is regularly visited by visitors to the parish, for example by a professional actress who grew up locally and whose first steps ‘treading the boards’ came through St James. Rev’d Gareth Wardell leads regular school services in partnership with the Parish Primary School.

Page | 8

To this end, since our last APCM, significant additional events/services which have helped to draw in members of the wider community during the year have included:

Page | 12

We are now looking forward to re-starting the Summer Speaker Programme in 2024. Confirmed speakers are Lesley Bilinda, Leroy Logan, and Molly Dineen for Tuesdays in June and early July (final dates to be confirmed).

Page | 13

There is also progress on a new baptistry window at St James, designed by Mark Cazalet and made possible by a generous local benefactor, this is making its way through the faculty process. A grand opening reception is planned in late 2024 or early 2025.

During the week St Clement is in regular use by our partner organisations The ClementJames Centre and IntoUniversity. In this way, the church building is busy serving the Parish although not always through the direct presence of church activities and church members. Sadly, the Community Fridge partnership was forced to close due to a lack of suitable provisions being available. This seems to be due to the rising cost of living weighing on what is being made available for distribution.

3. Confidence in Our Tradition

“A Way of Life”, written by Reverend Nick, was presented to the PCC and approved for publication and distribution at our two churches this year. This is intended to provide a five-fold focus to our tradition and offer newcomers a simple explanation of how we see ourselves as part of God’s Kingdom. Publication is expected in 2024.

Occasional Offices

Across the parish, there were 6 baptisms, 12 funerals/memorial services, and 2 weddings/wedding blessings in 2023, while 4 candidates were confirmed.

Pastoral Care

The vicar undertakes regular hospital and home visits, including the provision of Home Communion, for any who are in hospital, residential care homes or who are housebound.

Children and Young People’s Ministry

One of the highlights of 2023 was the appointment of Eman Henein, our new part-time Parish Youth and Children’s worker who we share with our neighbouring parish, the Holland Park Benefice. Eman’s post is funded through our membership of YMIC (Youth Ministry in Communion) a collaborative youth ministry aimed at supporting youth work in churches within the catholic/liberal-catholic tradition. She assists with the flourishing Sunday School (at St James’ church) run by Anna Lee and Catherine Soanes and is working to support the development of a Sunday School at St Clement’s. A subscription has been taken out to the online “Roots” Sunday School website, which offers liturgically linked Sunday school activities and resources for download, to support this. Eman has started JAFFA Club (Jesus A Friend For All!) an after-school club held on Mondays at our parish primary school, which regularly attracts up to 16 children. She is supported in this work by Revd Pippa Fernée.

Page | 14

Our parish participates fully in the various large, multi-parish events put on by YMIC every term for churches across our episcopal area with at least four or five young people attending from our parish on each occasion. In 2023, this included an event hosted by our parish at St Clement’s church attended by about 80 young people with Taize style worship led by Fr. Nick Morris.

Page | 15

The vicar also led a group of young people from our churches on the Kensington Area Youth Weekend, from 16[th] to 18[th] June, held at the Oakwood Challenge outdoor activities centre in Berkshire where they were able to take part in many exciting and adventurous activities and to explore the Christian faith and its relevance for their lives.

Worship

Sunday services

The principal acts of worship in the parish are our Sunday services, with a Parish Eucharist offered at St James at 09.45 and at St Clement’s at 11.30 am, with an additional BCP Communion service being offered at St James on the 1[st] Sunday of each month.

During school term time, Sunday School provision was offered, except for the first Sunday of the month when ‘All Age Services’ take place, with a more child-focused talk, in place of a sermon.

School Services

School services take place in both churches; including services marking Ash Wednesday, Easter, the End of the School Year, Harvest Festival, Advent at St James’ church, and a special school Christmas Carol Service at St Clement’s church.

Morning Prayer

Morning Prayer continued to be offered online via our Parish Facebook page, on Saturdays and Monday to Thursday each week, with an average attendance of between 5 and 12 every day.

PCC Report

The congregations of the two churches continue to seek to express the love of God in the parish and beyond. Our two Victorian churches have been greatly adapted over the years. As places of worship and beautiful sacred spaces, the churches are in regular use for public worship and open for private prayer on many occasions during the week. They are also in heavy demand for community activities during the week.

Public benefit

The trustees have discussed the issue of public benefit and are confident that the breadth and scope of the work undertaken, as disclosed in this report, comply with Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 and has due regard to the Charity Commissions’ general guidance on public benefit.

Clergy and Other Staff

As well as our Vicar – Reverend Gareth Wardell and our Curate Nick Morris, we were delighted to have Pippa Fernée as our Ordinand from October 2022 to July 2023 when she was Ordained in St Paul’s Cathedral and now serves as a Curate here. Pippa, like Nick is also self-supporting.

Safeguarding

Katherine Soanes continues as Parish Safeguarding Officer. There are Children’s Champions at each church. The Rev’d Pippa Fernée replaced Anna Lee as the Lead Recruiter for Safeguarding/DBS matters. Anna continues as a Recruiter to further bolster our Safeguarding responsibilities and support of Pippa. The PCC continues to adopt the Diocesan Child Protection Policy and complies with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, about having due regard to the House of Bishops ’guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults, as follows:

Page | 19

Child Protection

The Church of England, in all aspects of its life, is committed to and will champion the protection of children and young people both in society as a whole and in its own community. It fully accepts, endorses, and will implement the principle enshrined in the Children Act 1989, that the welfare of the child is paramount. The Church of England will foster and encourage best practice within its community by setting standards for working with children and young people and by supporting parents in the care of their children. It will work with statutory bodies, voluntary agencies, and other faith communities to promote the safety and well-being of children and young people. It is committed to acting promptly whenever a concern is raised about a child or young person or about the behaviour of an adult and will work with the appropriate statutory bodies when an investigation into child abuse is necessary. The Church of England is committed to encouraging an environment where all people and especially those who may be vulnerable for any reason are able to worship and pursue their faith journey with encouragement and in safety. Everyone, whether they see themselves as vulnerable or not, will receive respectful pastoral ministry recognizing any power imbalance within such a relationship.

Safeguarding Adults

All church workers involved in any pastoral ministry will be recruited with care including the use of the Criminal Records Bureau disclosure service when legal or appropriate. Workers will receive training and continuing support. Any allegations of mistreatment, abuse, harassment or bullying will be responded to without delay. Whether or not the matter involves the church there will be cooperation with the police and local authority in any investigation. Sensitive and informed pastoral care will be offered to anyone who has suffered abuse, including support to make a complaint if so desired: help to find appropriate specialist care either from the church or secular agencies will be offered. Congregations will often include people who have offended in a way that means they are a continuing risk to vulnerable people. The risks will be managed sensitively with the protection of adults and children in mind.

Youth activities

The parish has continued to be a part of, enjoy, and develop working with Youth Ministry in Communion (YMIC). Several of our young people have participated in various events hosted by different churches that form part of YMIC. It has been wonderful to see so many young people from across the Kensington Area come together and have a lot of fun.

Mission Action Plan / Group

On 25[th] March 2023 the PCC spent a Saturday considering the Parish’s Vision and Mission Statements. The day was facilitated by the Revered Jonathan Rust; Area Director of Mission Development for Kensington. Please see the Parish Overview for further detailed information under “Review of Activities”.

As a result, a Mission Action Group was re-established with the remit of implementing the Mission Action Plan (MAP).

The parish continues to take part in monthly Prayer Lunches, the Annual Christian Unity Service, and other ecumenical activities such as the Lent Course hosted by different churches and denominations in the area. Frederica Venn continues to be active in supporting Churches Together in Notting Hill.

The ClementJames Centre

ClementJames has supported the community for over 40 years, growing from a small after-school homework club to a significant part of the voluntary and community sectors in the borough, helping over 2500 people annually. We help people to release their potential and live fulfilled lives through four aligned programmes.

Page | 20

Employment Support - Helping people to gain meaningful and sustainable employment. We offer tailored advice and support, mentoring, and work skills activities.

Young People’s Education - Helping young people to learn, flourish, and achieve their potential. We provide academic support, mentoring, intensive literacy and numeracy support, and aspirational activities.

Adult Learning - Supporting adults to improve their English, Maths, and ICT skills. We offer a wide range of Functional Skills courses and intensive literacy and numeracy support.

Wellbeing & Support - Empowering people to overcome barriers and challenges and to engage with their own wellbeing. We do this through the provision of Information, Advice and Guidance, and wellbeing support and activities that challenge isolation and help people build positive networks.

Below are some of the outcomes from our work in the last year.

Employment : 86 individuals are now in employment or training

Young People’s Education : 78% of our Year 13 students progressed directly to university, employment, training, or apprenticeships. Additionally, 68 Literacy and Numeracy students made a year’s progress in either their Maths or English in just 9 weeks.

Adult Learning : 94% of students achieved their course outcomes.

Wellbeing Support : 292 local people received information, advice, and guidance support and almost 300 issues were resolved.

The ClementJames Centre shares so many common values with St Clement and St James with respect to helping people to thrive in the North Kensington area. This partnership is reflected in the strong relationship between both organisations with the Vicar (currently Father Gareth Wardell) serving as a Trustee of The ClementJames Centre and many parishioners and their families being supported by the Centre. Father Gareth plays an integral role on The ClementJames Board, helping the charity define strategic goals, and help us retain strong community bonds.

The community continues to face significant challenges and utilising the St Clement’s site, which has such a strong and rich history of creative safe spaces and fostering community engagement and togetherness, allows the Centre to have a substantive impact and help thousands of young people and adults in the local area. This was especially apparent during the recent filming of scenes for the National Theatre’s ‘Grenfell: In the Words of Survivors’, where the Church was considered the most suitable place for the bereaved and survivors to speak about their experiences.

Compassion - Forgiveness - Thankfulness - Friendship

“Love is patient. Love is kind.” 1 Corinthians 13

All those involved in our inclusive school community continue to strive for excellence. Our commitment to ensuring that pupils receive a high standard of education never wavers and our staff team along with Father Gareth, and our governors work diligently to achieve the very best for all. Relationships between the school and parish are strong. Father Gareth and Molly continue to greet all pupils and parents at the gate most days and they are well-known and respected by the whole school community. Father Gareth (and Molly) attended the year five residential trip in the summer term, joining in with the fun of outdoor learning experiences and providing support, comfort, and continuity of care for all pupils.

St Clement & St James continues to be a gateway for secondary school transfer to the Church of England and Catholic Secondary Schools: Chelsea Academy CE, Twyford CE, All Saints Catholic College, Ark Burlington Danes CE, St Marylebone CE.

Church Community

There is continued input on the governing body from the church community. Natalie Cowley is our parent governor and Lala Manners, now also a governor, volunteers in our Early Years Owlets centre on a regular basis.

The Church Fete in the summer term was well attended by our families and some staff also joined to run a face painting stall.

Father Gareth leads collective worship weekly and continues to run successful confirmation classes. Plans for a ‘Jaffa club ’led by Father Gareth, Pippa and Eman start in 2024 for Year 6 pupils.

School church services

The Harvest festival, Christmas service, Ash Wednesday and Easter Service were well attended by pupils and some parents.

Refugee children

All of our Afghan refugee children have now been moved out of the area and we were sad to see them leave. We have four remaining Ukrainian refugee families. The children are well-established within our school community and are progressing well with their learning and friendships.

Fundraising Report for SCSJ School Trust 2023-2024

Breakfast Club:

Magic Breakfast has just been secured for the school worth approximately £10k per year; this provides a "universal breakfast without barriers"; they deliver bagels, crumpets etc. each week which are available, warmed, in baskets in classrooms so no child has to ask; they are free and accessible to all. Hunger in the mornings has been a massive concern from all teachers recently so we are thrilled we can offer this to every child with no stigma.

School Journey and Trips:

School Journey 4-day residential in 2023 was partially funded for most children; this was paid for by 3 separate funders totalling approximately £4k. Children from years 3, 4 and 5 were taken to the Lyric Christmas Panto, paid for by K and C Foundation, and despite not being in Hammersmith, we benefited from the Hammersmith schools programme discount for £15 tickets (usually £44!) total cost £1,000. We also got adult tickets for free. We got the same benefit for 2-year groups in St Thomas school.

Page | 23

John Lyons Charity paid for an Easter school holiday programme where we worked with a group of local youth workers in an organisation called Maxilla City to provide a week of memories for our most vulnerable children; food was provided as well as full days of activities including Kidzania, bowling and trampolining at Oxygen. We included 16 children, and the full cost was £3,600.

After School Clubs:

The clubs are largely delineated into sports or creative activities; we have engaged a wide range of professionals to deliver an exciting programme and we re-assign children 3 times per year at the start of a new term in order to cope with demand and to make it fair. Football is always the most popular by far, but craft, singing and drama all have high demand too; there is never any club we offer that isn’t oversubscribed as we take all club suggestions from children.

Corporate Partnerships and Crowdfunding:

Phoenix has donated £20k per year since 2021 to fully subsidise the daily clubs programme at St Clement St James school. In the last 2 years, they have contributed an additional £5k towards fundraising costs which has allowed Gabrielle to expand her time and deliver significantly more funds and partnerships to benefit the children and families.

At the start of the last financial year, with much learning accrued from the Crowdfunder process, we raised an additional £10k above and beyond the Phoenix anchor donation. We were able to use this funding towards our new Family Support Worker Kanika. Last February we appointed Kanika for a trial, short-term contract as we had a small unrestricted donation to use, and this was by far the most urgent need in the school. We were so fortunate to be able to appoint a local person, a mother in the school, and a fully qualified social worker into this vital role.

Family Support Worker Review:

Fast forward and after a year in post, Kanika has made a transformational difference to the lives of so many children and families. Her appointment dovetailed with the retirement of Rita, our Nurture Room mentor (and the end of the 3-year nurture room funding). Kanika was able to pick up the reins and work with anxious, struggling, or dysregulated children each day in that dedicated space. At the beginning and end of the day, she meets with parents, helping them access support from social services, local charities, or directly with her. The key priorities are housing instability, severe mental health issues, cost of living crisis, and increasing isolation.

In the last year Kanika has supported:

FINANCIAL REPORT

Statement of the PCC’s Financial Responsibilities

Charity law requires the PCC to prepare accounts for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the charity’s state of affairs at the end of the year and of its income and expenditure for the year.

In preparing those accounts, the PCC is required to:

The PCC is responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the entity and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities Act 2022 and other relevant legislation. It is also responsible for safeguarding the assets and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and protection of fraud and other irregularities.

Reserves Policy

It is the policy of the PCC to build up unrestricted free cash reserves to a level equivalent to three months’ expenditure. At current levels, excluding the expenditure on the baptistry stained glass window at St James Church, this amounts to a target of roughly £51,300. On 31st December 2023, the unrestricted and undesignated free cash reserves stood at £114,963.22.

The PCC considers that it is necessary to hold reserves at the target level in order to:

The PCC has set up a Church Repair & Improvement Fund with a current balance of £16,025.94 to meet any part of the cost of repairs not covered by grants and donations and the cost of further capital works to the churches over the next few years.

Review of Financial Position

The PCC ended the year with a deficit of £5,713.56, which includes a loss on investments of £534.51. There were a number of exceptional items of income and matching expenditure during the year.

The PCC’s income for the year was £203,335.31. The exceptional income items mentioned above total £10,396.91 and consist of grants from the Diocese of London, The Richard Pollack Charitable Trust (to fund the new baptistry stained glass window at St James Church) and the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea. The largest source of income was £127,800.97 from the hire of church premises. Regular voluntary income and donations accounted for £48,770.22.

Expenditure for 2023 was £208,514.36. The largest item of routine expenditure is the diocesan parish share, £75,500.00. Salaries, wages, and honoraria amounted to £49,378.08. Church running expenses accounted for £40,265.45. Utilities expenditure amounted to £27,973.36, and Administrative expenses totaled £9,942.32.

The Parish ended the year with cash balances totaling £244,042.49, of which £129,079.27 relates to restricted and designated funds. The detailed figures are set out in the statements on the following pages.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Funds

Funds Unrestricted funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted.

The Designated Funds of the PCC are set out below.

Church Repair & Improvement Fund

Recognising the need for extensive provision for repair and improvement to its two churches, the PCC set up a Church Repair & Improvement Fund.

The Restricted Funds of the PCC are set out below.

Additional Ministry Fund (Previously known as The Curate Fund) This fund was created to finance the stipend of an additional priest or curate for the parish. The donors have agreed that this fund can also be used to finance compensation for administrative staff. St Clements Garden, St Clements Garden Capital Fund and St Clement Garden Maintenance Fund These funds were created to establish and maintain St Clement's garden. Grenfell Relief Fund This fund was created by a grant from the Diocese and is used for purposes related to support for those affected by the Grenfell tragedy. St James Window Fund This fund was created by a grant from Norland Conservation Society for repairs to the historic west facing roundel window as well as other stained glass windows at St James. There have been additional contributions to this fund from individual donors. St James Baptistry Window Fund This fund has been established for the purpose of funding two new stained glass windows at St James Church, to be located above the Baptism font. Artist Mark Cazalet has been commissioned to create the design for these windows. The project is funded by the Richard Pollock Charitable Trust. Re-Generation Project Fund This fund was established in 2021 by a private donation to fund a three phase development programme at St James to restore the church, to make the space better for public events and to enable new services. Youth Work Fund

The PCC receives grants and raises funds to support youth work in the community. Other funds arise from time to time as a result of special appeals (see Note 25)

2. Accounting Policies Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities Act 2022 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102.

The trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

Incoming Resources

Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Gift Aid on donations is recognised in the year the donations are received. Rental income is recognised when the rent is due. Dividend and interest income is accounted for when received.

Funds raised from the summer fair and other events are accounted for gross.

Income from government and other grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Resources Expended

The diocesan parish share is accounted for when paid. Any parish share unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the balance sheet and the amount outstanding included in expenditure.

Capital Commitment

The parish has committed to the design, manufacture and installation of two new stained glass windows, together costing £15,000, at St James Church. As of 31.12.2023, the parish had spent £3,264.00 on this project, and will spend the remaining £11,736.00 in 2024. This project has been fully funded by The Richard Pollock Charitable Trust (see Baptistry Window Fund under Note 1 above and in Note 23 below). Income to the parish from the Trust is recognised as expenses for the project are paid. There were no capital commitments as of 31.12.2022.

Investments Investments are valued at market value. The market valuation is obtained from the investment fund which manages the investment on behalf of the Charity.

Gains and losses are recognised as movements in unrestricted funds.

Fixed Assets

Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the accounts by s.96(2)(a) of the Charities Act 1993.

Moveable Church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC, and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the church's inventory which can be inspected at any reasonable time. For inalienable property acquired prior to 2001 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the accounts.

All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings, on individual items under £1,000, or on the repair of moveable church furnishings is written off.

Heaters are depreciated on a straight line basis over five years Office equipment costing £1,000 or over is depreciated on a straight line basis over three years. Office Fixtures & Fittings costing £1,000 or over are depreciated on a straight line basis over ten years.

Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that are considered reasonable in the circumstances. The actual amount or values may vary in certain instances from the assumptions and estimates made. Changes will be recorded, with corresponding effect in profit or loss, when, and if, better information is obtained.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in material adjustment within the next financial year are included below.

Critical judgments that management has made in the process of applying accounting policies disclosed herein and that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements relates to the following:

Provisions

In recognising provisions, the charity evaluates the extent to which it is probable that it has incurred a legal or constructive obligation in respect of past events and the probability that there will be an outflow of benefits as a result. The judgements used to recognise provisions are based on currently known factors which may vary over time, resulting in changes in the measurement of recorded amounts as compared to initial estimates.
