Background
l.hc IICC ot" thc Pari811 of si Aiigiistiiic iv St Jnhn. Kilhiirn. co-()pcrc11ing wilh Ihc InLumbent, has
the respoiisibilil), i)f prc)iiiotiiig Ilic Ci()spcl uf JLSUg Clirisl and thc mission nl- Ihc Church within
the parish and iiiorc ividcly. l-lic Cliurch ol. l..ngland lia% hccn dL'5cribLd a.% thc one inslitution Ihal
exists for tlic beiicfil of tl)()sc outside.
Due lo the establishcd nalurc ofihc Church, cvcryonc within thc gcographical boundaries of the
parish can look to St Augii.%tine's as 'tlicir' parish church.
Practically, tlie Incuinbcnl and ihe PCC, havc rcsponsibility for maintaining the Church planl and
the Assistant Curatc's flat.
The Parish Church
Since the parish was fomied in 1870 and public worship commcncing on sitc Passion Sunday
1871wilh the church opencd in 1875 and consccrated in 1880 the Parish of st Augustine, Kilburn
has hcld full calholic privileges. The Church was built during the resurgence of the Anglo-
Catholic movement. Having passed Rcsolulions A, B & C under the Priests (Ordination of
Women) measure 1993 and passed tlie new Resolution in Sept¢mbcr 2015 under the House of
Bishops, Declaration; in accordance with E'he London Plan, th¢ parish is undcr the care of the
Bishop of Fulham.
The Life of the Parish 2023
This might be the first 'posl Covid, year since ils arrival in 2020. Like the world, nation and
society the Church and so the parish has been in 'rccovery' modc. To aid this a new Mission
Action Plan was developed late 2022 and launched wilhin ihe parish January 2023 with literature,
sennon references and ialks from PCC members (see p 8-9). We have welcomed new members
and also bid farewell to some as 'the population churn, also picks up post Covid. The post Covid
roofing project was completed and a recovery programme of hire opportunities implemented
boosted with two filming opportunities.
The Carlton Den¢ re-development also post Covid recommenced with the demolition of the
building and sile development. Next year will be far more challenging for noisc vs hire.
The Parish celebrated the Coronalion HM King Charlcs 111 and QuLen Camilla.
The parish conlinued in 2023 with Ihe intent lo offer a daily inass wilh additional devolional
services of Stations of the Cross and Holy Rosary offered throughout Lent. 'l-he provision of daily
mass 'post Covid, has proved much inor¢ difficult to ensure alongside the PCC'S safeguarding
requirements i.¢. priest and two laity need to be identified to celebrate each mass.
The Sunday School, like many oihers. has struggled to recover.
Two day Parish Pilgrimages lo the Shrine ofour Lady ofwalsingham ivcre mad¢ in the hope or
rc-building towards a rcsidential pilgrimagc. 'I'he St. Ldward lid¢ I'ilgriiiiiigL' to W¢slniinster

of its Patron The Socieiyfor ihe Mainlenance of ihe failh.
Every Saturday we conlinue lo welcome Cominunity I'¢iyback ivork¢rs wiihoul whose ivork the
parish ground main*nance and mosl cleaning wuuld lack support.

Sunday school begins wilh the worksheel of pictures and pu72les based on that week's bible readings.
We discuss the gospel pa55age from that week, and what we can learn from J¢5us' messagL. This is
followed by craft activities, and sometime5 songs and gamc5.
Before we go back into church the children say a closing prayer. We thank God for all the giood ihingjs in
our lives, but also r¢m¢mber lh¢ sick and those in difficully. We always ask G()d for his blessing lor Ihe
week ahead.

Financial Review for 2023
Income
Christian Stewardship
This line sums up all giving through the envelope scheme and banker's orders.
Comparison with 2022. when £30.304 was received. shows an increase of 62.9 %.
This year's figure is also 31.2 /0 better than in 2019, the last COVID-free year.
The trend of a yearthon-year decrease, which was in Ihe region of 340/0 before COVID, has
now been reversed.
Collection plate and giving through digital devices
Cash giving on the collection plate has more than halved over the last ten years, reflecting
the general trend in society toward holding less cash and favouring payment by debivcredit
cards. even for small transactions. The sharp decrease in cash collections is more than
compensated by digital generated income, cnnsisling of giving through Paypal and the digitsl
collection plate al the back of the church.
Total unreslricled income
Comparison with 2022, when £43,213 was received. shows a 280kn increase.
This is also 19.4 % better than before COVID.
Total incorrE (general account)
Comparison with 2022 (ex-bequest and grants for roofing), when £93,286 was gathered.
shows a 48.20/0 increase. This is also 10.1 % better than before COVID.
Expendlture
Comparison with 2022, when £71,110 was Incurred, shows a 94.4/0 increase.
Most of the increase is to be imputed to our increased contribution to the Common Fund. as
well as the scaffolding in preparation ol the organ restoration..
Organ restoratlon fund
£116,449 was added to the Organ restoration fund in 2023. This remarkable figure has been
achieved thanks to two bequests from Glyn Williams for £50,000 and RonlEvelyn Sutcliffe
for £25,000. Consequently, the parish achieved its target of having all Ihe funds required for
the organ restoration project available prior lo the start of the works in early 2024.
Another bequest from Roland O'Garro was received this year, bul not restricted lo the organ
fund for the time being.
Puttlng thlngs In perspectlve
Church hires cnuld again take place Ihroughoul the year. Once again, our Vicar has kept
ontacl with our regular usors and he managed lo secure r6cordings. Wilhoul his conlinuoLbS
efforts and the excellent relationship maintained with tho muslcal community. our financial
situation would have been precarious. The Treasurer wishes lo thank Father for his constant
support and for hls vlg118nce aimed al keeping cosls down. Thanks ar8 also extended lo lan
Lawrence for hls work on Glft Ald.

FROM THE ACCOUNTS EXAMINER
I report on the accounts of St Augustine's Church, Kilbltrn, for the year ended 31 December 2023.
which are set out on pages 2 to 12.
Respectlve responslbilities of trustees and examiner
The church's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The PCC, a5 charity
trustees, consider 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 is needed.
It is my responsibility to
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2011 Act),
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission
(under section 1451511bl of the 2011 Act),. and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent examlnerfs statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioners.
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of
the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or
disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such
matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide 311 the evidence that would be required in an audit, and
consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair vie￿, and the
report 15 limited to those matter5 set out in the statements below.
Independent examiner's statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
l. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees have not
met the requirements to ensure that..
proper accounting records are kept lin accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act},' and
accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the
accounting requirements of the 2011 Act; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of
the accounts to be reached.

Financial Review for 2023
Income
Christian Stewardship
This line sums up all giving through the envelope scheme and banker's orders.
Comparison with 2022. when £30.304 was received. shows an increase of 62.9 %.
This year's figure is also 31.2 /0 better than in 2019, the last COVID-free year.
The trend of a yearthon-year decrease, which was in Ihe region of 340/0 before COVID, has
now been reversed.
Collection plate and giving through digital devices
Cash giving on the collection plate has more than halved over the last ten years, reflecting
the general trend in society toward holding less cash and favouring payment by debivcredit
cards. even for small transactions. The sharp decrease in cash collections is more than
compensated by digital generated income, cnnsisling of giving through Paypal and the digitsl
collection plate al the back of the church.
Total unreslricled income
Comparison with 2022, when £43,213 was received. shows a 280kn increase.
This is also 19.4 % better than before COVID.
Total incorrE (general account)
Comparison with 2022 (ex-bequest and grants for roofing), when £93,286 was gathered.
shows a 48.20/0 increase. This is also 10.1 % better than before COVID.
Expendlture
Comparison with 2022, when £71,110 was Incurred, shows a 94.4/0 increase.
Most of the increase is to be imputed to our increased contribution to the Common Fund. as
well as the scaffolding in preparation ol the organ restoration..
Organ restoratlon fund
£116,449 was added to the Organ restoration fund in 2023. This remarkable figure has been
achieved thanks to two bequests from Glyn Williams for £50,000 and RonlEvelyn Sutcliffe
for £25,000. Consequently, the parish achieved its target of having all Ihe funds required for
the organ restoration project available prior lo the start of the works in early 2024.
Another bequest from Roland O'Garro was received this year, bul not restricted lo the organ
fund for the time being.
Puttlng thlngs In perspectlve
Church hires cnuld again take place Ihroughoul the year. Once again, our Vicar has kept
ontacl with our regular usors and he managed lo secure r6cordings. Wilhoul his conlinuoLbS
efforts and the excellent relationship maintained with tho muslcal community. our financial
situation would have been precarious. The Treasurer wishes lo thank Father for his constant
support and for hls vlg118nce aimed al keeping cosls down. Thanks ar8 also extended lo lan
Lawrence for hls work on Glft Ald.

FROM THE ACCOUNTS EXAMINER
I report on the accounts of St Augustine's Church, Kilbltrn, for the year ended 31 December 2023.
which are set out on pages 2 to 12.
Respectlve responslbilities of trustees and examiner
The church's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The PCC, a5 charity
trustees, consider 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 is needed.
It is my responsibility to
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2011 Act),
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission
(under section 1451511bl of the 2011 Act),. and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent examlnerfs statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioners.
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of
the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or
disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such
matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide 311 the evidence that would be required in an audit, and
consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair vie￿, and the
report 15 limited to those matter5 set out in the statements below.
Independent examiner's statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
l. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees have not
met the requirements to ensure that..
proper accounting records are kept lin accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act},' and
accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the
accounting requirements of the 2011 Act; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of
the accounts to be reached.
