**St Matthew’s Church Redhill** 

## **Annual Report of the Parochial Church Council for the Year Ended 31 December 2022** 

## **Administrative Information** 

St. Matthew’s Church is situated at 71, Station Road, Redhill. RH1 1DL. It is part of the Diocese of Southwark within the Church of England. 

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Matthew, Redhill (PCC) is a Registered Charity No. 1132579, entered in the Register of Charities on the 7[th] November 2009. 

## **PCC members who have served from 27[th] April until the date this report was approved are:** 

## **Ex Officio Members:** 

Incumbent: Rev’d Andrew Cunnington (until 21[st] April) Chair Rev’d Anna Moore (from 16[th] November) Church Wardens Julia Elfred & Chris Roulston Joint Vice-Chairs Hon. Curate Rev'd Judith Brooks SPAs Scilla Wallis & Georgia Waterton Readers Anne Currie & Julie Knight Representatives on Deanery Synod: Julia Johns, Hilary Richardson Representative on Diocesan Synod: Anne Currie **Elected Members:** Angie Baker, Deborah Curphey, Ashleigh Davis, Joanna Goddard, Angie Holdsworth, Hugh Jones, Catherine Mwange, Helen Shepherd, Tim Whittle **Co-opted Members:** Ray Bolton Hon. Treasurer Louise Hill Secretary Ellen Maden (from 8[th] November) Treasurer Elect David Hill (until 13[th] September) Hall Committee Chair 

## **Structure, Governance and Management.** 

In accordance with the Church Representation Rules, members of the PCC are elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, or are ex-officio, or are co-opted by the PCC. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. 

The PCC operates through: 

The Finance & Standing Committee which is responsible to the PCC for all the church’s buildings, fund-raising, financial planning and control. It also acts as the Standing Committee of the PCC and as such has the power to transact the business of the PCC between meetings. The members of this committee are the incumbent, the churchwardens, the treasurer, the secretary, the hall manager, and the hall lettings officer. 

The Mission Action Committee which is responsible to the PCC for the continuing development of the Mission Action Plan and thereby determining and implementing a strategy for the growth of the Church’s mission within the Parish. The members of this team are the incumbent, the churchwardens, the curate, the readers, the SPAs and two members elected by the PCC. This committee met once during 2022 and subcommittees have met several times. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

St. Matthew’s PCC has the responsibility, in cooperation with the incumbent, for promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It is responsible for the maintenance & repair of the Church and the movables within the Church; the repair and maintenance of the Church grounds, the parish hall, and 44, Ridgeway Road, Redhill; and the conduct of the parish’s financial affairs.

**Achievements and Performance** 

## **Church Attendance** 

The Electoral Roll in April 2022 had 228 entries following a revision of the data. 

Church attendance over Easter was 144 and over Christmas was 224.  St Matthew’s School held four services in church: an Easter Service, the Annual Leavers’ Service, and two Christmas Services.  St Matthew’s Preschool also held a Christmas Service in church.  Wray Common School had to move its service from the church to the school because of inclement weather. 

## **Review of the Year** 

One of the most significant events of the year was Fr Andrew’s departure to Findon Valley.  His final service at St Matthew’s was on 3[rd] April and we sent him and Alison on their way with our prayers, good wishes, an icon and a cheque for an item for their new home.  We began the process for advertising which included writing a Parish Profile, and in July we interviewed a shortlist of candidates and appointed Revd Anna Moore.  In September we played host to the Deanery welcome service for the new Bishop of Croydon, Dr Rosemarie Mallett who then returned in November to install Anna as our new Vicar. 

## **Online Services** 

The “reflective” style of service, started in August 2021, continued throughout the year with an average weekly viewing figure of 16.  We also published daily reflections throughout the seasons of Lent, Thy Kingdom Come, Toddler Group month (June), Advent, and Christmas. 

## **Onsite Services** 

Onsite services gradually returned to some sort of “normality” and we were pleased to resume offering communion in two kinds on Maundy Thursday.  We were very grateful to members of the staff team who all worked extremely hard to make sure that all our services were covered during the vacancy, which included marking both the Platinum Jubilee and the death of Her Majesty the Queen. 

## **PCC** 

The full PCC and the Finance and Standing Committee each met six times during the year, with Finance & Standing meetings continuing to be held online. There was also an extra PCC Meeting in April (with Archdeacon Moira) to discuss the vacancy and the recruitment process for a new incumbent. Reports were received from Staff members; Health and Safety issues are discussed at every PCC meeting and addressed accordingly. The Safeguarding Policies, having been reviewed at the annual review, were formally approved and re-adopted at the first PCC meeting after the APCM. The PCC has also reviewed Mission Giving and agreed our Parish Support Fund Pledge. 

## **Mission Action Planning** 

The Mission Action Planning Committee met once during 2022.  Some progress has been made, but many items were postponed as it was felt we shouldn’t undertake any major new projects whilst we were in a vacancy. 

## **Online Resources** 

Our online presence continues to be a vital way to communicate and we are making effective use of the website, the church’s Facebook page, Instagram account, and YouTube Channel. The Platform magazine team has continued to produce digital copies of the magazine throughout the year. Thanks to Tracey Jennings and Anne Currie for the online weekly news sheet, and to David Jones for the upkeep of the website.  Two members of the Communication Group attended the Digital Church Summit in November and hope to bring some new ideas to strengthen our online presence in 2023. 

## **Outreach** 

St Matthew’s is a parish that has outreach at the heart of its vision. In 2022 the services of our Foodbank continued to be much in demand, with many clients experiencing difficulties exacerbated by the energy crisis and rising cost of living. The Tuesday Group met twice a month and the Befriending Scheme continued to offer support where needed. The St Matthew’s Youth Club met weekly during term time and is open to all local young people in years 6 to 8. 

The sale of Cards for Good Causes reopened for the first time since 2019.  We were also approached by the Include Choir which needed a new venue for their weekly practices; we were extremely pleased to be able to offer accommodation for this important local initiative. 

Our links with St Matthew’s School remain strong, with all our foundation Governors positions being filled; members of the staff team are involved on a weekly basis leading Collective Worship. Staff communion 5 



services are held in church half termly. 

The Thursday Lunchtime Music concerts came to an end on 15[th] December, with the retirement of Margaret and Edmund Crutchfield, who had organised the weekly concerts for the last fifteen years.  We hope to restart the concerts in 2023 after an interval to plan how they may best be run. 

## **Mission and Giving** 

During the year we made donations totalling £5668, to a number of causes, including Welcare, for whom £1012.96 was raised at Harvest services, a Platinum Jubilee Tea Party, Christmas donations, and our annual contribution. Our Home Mission for 2022 was Stripey Stork and £771.77 was donated which represented 50% of the proceeds from the Christmas Fair. We contributed £243.83 to the Bishop of Southwark’s Lent Appeal and Christmas collections and donations from the Christmas Card board raised £633.09 for Renewed Hope Trust, St Catherine’s Hospice received £301.61 from the candlestand donations, the Children’s Society received £85 from the Christingle service and Christian Aid received £75 in donations. 

## **Music** 

Our Director of Music, Martin Cooper, retired in April, but we were fortunate to be able to call upon the services of several local organists until we appointed our new Director of Music, Melvin Hughes, in November.  We are very grateful to the choir for their willingness to adapt to ever-changing circumstances during the vacancy; and pleased to welcome Melvin and his wife Sue to support the vital part that music plays in our worship. 

## **Flowers** 

The flower team has continued to beautify the church, especially at major festivals. 

## **General Maintenance Church Fabric** 

The usual regular maintenance, inspection and testing has been carried out during the year where possible. We received the Quinquennial Report at the end of 2021, met the Maintenance Team to consider the items on the report marked “urgent” and “essential” and draw up a list of priorities, actions, responsibilities and costs. We identified many items which can be carried out “in-house” and have listed other items which require outside contractors. These were regularly discussed at Finance and Standing and then reported to the PCC.  One of the urgent recommendations (PAT testing) was carried out in January.  Another was the clearance of the gutters, and we have commissioned David Slegg’s company to do this soon. 

A new leak in the church roof was discovered, between the chancel and Lady Chapel.  On investigation, there are signs that the lead flashing is worn.  The task to repair the leak has been added to the list of roofing jobs resulting from the Quinquennial inspection. 

The outside doors to the church were all repainted during the summer.  The lightning conductor was brought up to a satisfactory standard. 

Church Lighting:  In October, we began a three-phase programme to run over several years, to replace all the lights in the church (well over 100) with LED lights as the old ones fail.  We began with the north and south aisles, and will move on to the chancel and Lady Chapel, with the main aisle last. 

The cushions for the choir stalls were replaced following a bequest from a choir member and a donation from another. 

## **Church Hall** 

The Hall continues to be a valuable asset in the community.  David Hill stepped down as Chair of the Hall Management Committee, and we are very grateful that Hugh Jones took on this vital role.  The committee continued to ensure that the hall is well-maintained and any issues were addressed. 

## **External Areas:** 

We have carried out a consultation with drivers with disabled permits to increase the number of disabled parking places for the church. Once agreed, we will invite tenders to repaint all the lines in the car park.  We have received quotes for lighting the car park steps and pathways at the western end of the church, which was accepted by Finance & Standing.  The next step is to apply for a faculty to allow this work to begin. 

Our gardening team continues to maintain and improve all the Church garden areas. Our thanks to all the volunteers who have assisted the gardening team during the year. 

## **44, Ridgeway Road** 

The property passed all required inspections. Woodlands continue to manage the property on our behalf and it produces some much-needed income. 

Our grateful thanks go to the many volunteers who have supported the life of St Matthew’s in any way. 6

**Parochial Church Council of St. Matthew, Redhill NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST ] DECEMBER 2022** 

## **NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Financial Statements** 

The Financial Statements have been prepared under the current Church Accounting Regulations in accordance with the applicable accounting Standard FRS 102 and the current Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2015). 

The Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. They include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of Church Groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members. 

## **Fund Accounting** 

_**RESTRICTED FUNDS**_ comprise (a) income from endowments which is to be expended only on the restricted purposes intended by the donor, and (b) revenue donations or Grants for a specific PCC activity intended by the donor. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year, must be carried forward as a balance on that Fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each Fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual Funds on an average balance basis. 

_**URESTRICTED FUNDS**_ are General Funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use, and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Funds _**DESIGNATED**_ for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted. 

## **Incoming Resources** 

Planned Giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate, is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. Amounts received specifically for Mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All incoming resources are accounted for gross. 

## **Resources Expended** 

Grants and donations are accounted for, when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation of the PCC. The Parish Support Fund (Pledge) expected to be paid over, is accounted for when due. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross. 

## **Fixed Assets** 

Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s10(2a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011. 

Movable Church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the Church’s inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the Financial Statements. Subsequently, no individual item has cost more than £5,000 so all such expenditure has been written-off when occurred. 

Fixed asset retained for Church use is the Freehold property at 44, Ridgeway Road, Redhill, purchased prior to 1970 for £6,575. A policy of non-depreciation has been adopted for both the annual depreciation charge and the accumulated depreciation is not material to the Financial Statements as the residual value is higher than the cost at which it is included in the Financial Statements. Equipment used within the Church premises is depreciated on a straight-line basis over four years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £5000 or less are written-off when the asset is acquired.
