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. At the first meeting of the new PCC in May, Louise Hill was elected Hon Secretary and Ellen Maden was elected Hon Treasurer.
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, one of the readers, one of the SPAs and a member of the congregation. This committee met several times during 2023 and are planning a consultation with the congregation in order to draw up the new plan for 2024.
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.
Church Attendance
The Electoral Roll in April 2023 had 244 entries following a revision of the data. Church attendance over Easter was 236 and over Christmas was 350. St Matthew’s School held five services in church: an Easter Service, the Annual Leavers’ Service, Harvest Festival, and two Christmas Services. St Matthew’s Preschool also held a Christmas Service in church. Wray Common School held a Christmas Service in church.
Review of the Year
PCC
The full PCC and the Finance and Standing Committee each met six times during the year. We welcomed Archdeacon Moira to the September meeting where she outlined the responsibilities of the PCC and introduced the “Charter of Respect” which we decided to adopt. 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 a couple of times during 2023 and the main focus of these meetings was to discuss how best to engage the congregation in drawing up a new Mission Action Plan for the church. It was decided to launch this consultation process at a Sunday service and to ask for people’s opinions on a questionnaire. For a variety of reasons, the launch had to be postponed until early 2024, but the questionnaire is now ready. A lot of progress has been made in certain areas, particularly concerning inclusivity.

Online Resources
2023 has seen a change of focus for our online presence. Whilst online worship sessions have declined since we have been able to meet onsite, we continue to use our online presence as a means of outreach to the local community rather than just a means of advertising. The church website has undergone a complete refurbishment following a generous donation specifically for this purpose, and we are delighted with the response to the new look and feel. The Platform magazine team has continued to produce digital copies of the magazine throughout the year, although the number of contributors and readers has dwindled. Thanks to Tracey Jennings and Anne Currie for the online weekly news sheet, and to the Platform team: Tim Whittle, Mark Mann, and Margaret Philipson.
Inclusion and Outreach
One of the main focuses of 2023 has been inclusion. We joined Inclusive Church in March, members of the Staff Team joined other local churches at Reigate Pride and the Pride Café initiative is now up and running at the local Costa Coffee. Changes have been made to the format of the Sunday service sheets to include symbols to explain the significance of parts of the service to those who are new to the faith. We have also applied for a faculty to set up an inclusion area for children and young people with special educational needs, and an area for wheelchair users to sit within the body of the church.
St Matthew’s is a parish with outreach at its vision’s heart. In 2023 the services of the Foodbank continued to be much in demand, and we were delighted to host several well-being clinics and drop-in vaccination sessions run by NHS Alliance for Better Care. The Tuesday Group met twice a month and the Befriending Scheme continued to offer support where needed. Sadly, the St Matthew’s Youth Club closed in the Spring because the premises were no longer suitable. The sale of Cards for Good Causes raised over £5000 this year.
Our links with St Matthew’s School remain strong, with all our foundation Governors’ positions being filled; members of the staff team lead weekly collective worship sessions, and staff communion services are held half-termly.
The Thursday Lunchtime Music concerts restarted in the Autumn, and this has been well received in the local community. We continued to offer the church building to the Include Choir until they found more accessible premises in the Autumn Term, and the church continues to be used by local choirs and music groups.
This year the Winter Night Shelter was reopened and we were able to welcome clients on Sunday evenings from 17[th] December.

Mission and Giving
Our Home Mission for 2023 was Away From It All and our Overseas Mission for 2023 was Ripple Effect, both of which received 25% of the proceeds from the Christmas Fair. The Children’s Society received the collection from the Christingle service and retiring collections from all other Christmas services were in aid of Renewed Hope Trust. We also supported Welcare, the Bishop of Southwark’s Lent Appeal, St Catherine’s Hospice, the Archbishop’s Joint Appeal for Jerusalem and Gaza, and Christian Aid.
Music
Our Director of Music, Melvin Hughes, continues to lead the choir as they enhance our Sunday worship. A monthly service of Choral Evensong was restarted in May, and the choir has grown numerically over the year.
Flowers
The flower team is thriving under the new leadership of Coral Edwards and the team has grown. They have 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. We continue to work our way through recommendations made in the Quinquennial Report but a lack of availability of key contractors has held up this process. We have had a lot of problems with the sound system which were not resolved by the servicing of the equipment. We are very grateful to members of the congregation who have strived to improve the quality of sound during service, particularly Stephen Richardson and Sam Goddard, but we reluctantly concluded at the end of 2023 that some replacement items would be required. We commissioned an energy audit of both the church and the hall and will be using this data to improve the energy efficiency of both buildings. We also joined the national church energy basket so that we will benefit from any future energy tariffs negotiated by this national body.
Church Hall
The Hall continues to be a valuable asset in the community. The committee, ably chaired by Hugh Jones, continued to ensure that the hall is well-maintained. This year we increased the prices that we charge for hiring the hall and we also simplified the pricing structure into three categories: group 1: groups affiliated with St Matthew’s, group 2: charities, and group 3: commercial or private hire. This increase is the first since September 2017.
The old parish office was refurbished and is now a Meeting Room for small groups. Many thanks to all who helped with this, especially David Hill.
Wi-Fi was installed in the church hall and this has been welcomed by many clients.
External Areas:
Much-needed lighting was installed on the steps up to the hall and the passage leading to the disabled entrance. The car park spaces were repainted and we have been able to allocate three spaces for blue badge holders.
The Foodbank portacabins were removed in October and this has resulted in reclaiming eight parking spaces and a modest reduction in insurance.
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 continues to manage the property on our behalf and it produces some much-needed income.
Safeguarding
With regard to the PCC's obligations to safeguard children and vulnerable adults, the members of the PCC confirm that they have complied with their duties under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016.

Financial review
2023 saw a change in personnel with the election of Ellen Maden as Hon Treasurer. Reviews of cash handling, banking and invoicing have been undertaken by members of the PCC with new processes and procedures implemented and working effectively.
In financial terms the year was fairly uneventful. The Foodbank is now almost fully transitioned to its new bank account with just a dozen donors continuing to donate via the church. There were no planned significant expenditure projects. Maintenance costs were 50% higher than budgeted, largely due to ageing equipment and rising inflation.
We appointed a new independent examiner for 2023. With the reduction in balances as a result of the Foodbank moving, we have transferred from accruals accounting to receipts and payments accounting.
Reserves policy
The PCC has determined that the charity should aim to hold unrestricted cash equivalent to at least 3 months' usual unrestricted expenditure (approx. £40k) so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely. At the year end, the charity held unrestricted cash of £46,541 and the charity is complying with its reserves policy.
Responsibilities of trustees
Charity law requires the PCC to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which record the receipts and payments of the charity for the year.
The PCC is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011.
We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1 Accounting policies
The accounts have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis and comprise a statement that shows the charity's receipts and payments, a statement that summarises the charity's assets and liabilities and related notes. The accountancy profession have determined that only accounts prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards present a 'true and fair' view and, as these receipts and payments accounts have not (and cannot) be prepared in accordance with accounting standards, these accounts do not present (and are not intended to present) a 'true and fair' view of the charity's financial activities and state of affairs.
In the previous year the charity's income exceeded £250,000 and the charity was obliged to prepare its accounts on an accruals basis. As the charity's income is now less than £250,000, it has taken advantage of the option to prepare its accounts on a receipts and payments basis and the results reported previously have been restated; further information is given in note 8 below.
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the PCC in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the PCC for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.

8 Reconciliation with previously reported funds
As explained in note 1 'Accounting Policies' , in the previous year the charity prepared its accounts using the accruals basis; in the current year the charity's income was less than £250,000 and the charity has taken advantage of the option to prepare its accounts on a receipts and payments basis. The comparatives presented in these accounts have been re-stated using the receipts and payments basis and a correction has also been made for the bank balance figure which was incorrectly stated in previous years.
