Rector’s Report
As we are including the Archdeacon’s Report from his Visitation in October in this collection of papers for St Anne’s 2022 APCM, I will keep what I want to add very brief.
We should all be encouraged by the way St Anne’s has come through the pandemic, which now feels firmly behind us to the extent that it no longer impacts on our operations nor participation by people in our corporate life. Many churches have seen a dip in attendance, post-pandemic, whereas we have seen a slight increase even before one adds those who regularly join us on-line. Furthermore, new initiatives such as Soho Parish Sundays, Grief Café, a monthly evening service and Tuesday Teas have all helped us extend our ministry and created different opportunities for us to engage with those who call Soho ‘home’.
There is much to be thankful for here- and we all owe particular gratitude to the small number of people who voluntarily give of their time in different ways. At the forefront of these are of course John Witts and Nigel Percival, our churchwardens, ably supported by Mark Godfrey, and Peter Harris who ensures all who come to St Anne’s are fed physically as well as spiritually. Meanwhile from New Zealand for over half the year Trevor Langford Read has continued to be a highly diligent Treasurer. Their dedication and commitment is not given to ‘support the rector’ but to keep St Anne’s, which is your church as much as mine, functioning and flourishing.
On behalf of the whole church community I want to extend thanks to all our paid staff, but in particular Jake Lee, our Administrator and Operations Manager who keeps so many aspects of life here running smoothly, Annie Lydford-Holland for providing us with music and musicians of astonishing quality and variety, and to Joao Rocha (Storm Flowers London) for keeping St Anne’s fragrant with foliage.
It has been a pleasure to welcome some excellent guest speakers again this yearnotably the author and Canon chancellor of St Paul’s cathedral, Paula Gooder, for our Patronal Festival; and we are indebted to those whose regular ministry here has been such a blessing: especially Fr Paul, along with Fr David Darling and until October 2022, Dr Ellen Clark-King.
All that we try to do, let us do to God’s glory, and for anything we fail to do let us seek God’s forgiveness. I pray that we will continue, through our modest little operation here, to be a sign of God’s love for all humankind and of continued service to this community of Soho.
Fr Simon

Church Wardens Report
2022 saw a return broadly to “business as usual” at St Anne’s as the country began to move on from the pandemic.
Chattels
There have been no changes to the chattels and silver of St Anne’s Church over the past year.
Building Structure
The buildings are wearing well, but there is always ongoing work.
Careful management of its resources over the years has allowed St Anne’s to set aside enough to cover the costs of essential repairs and improvements. To this end the following works were undertaken in 2022:
-
Cold water storage tank removed from loft area
-
Chapel chairs reupholstered
-
New rectory locks fitted
-

Property Assets
All our properties were let in 2022 to long-term tenants. However, one of these tenants, Centrepoint, gave notice to quit in June 2023 the two floors of 54 Dean Street that they have occupied since 1969. Work has begun on considering how the space that will be left vacant might be used in future
The Church continues to let out its other useable spaces to local groups and businesses.
No property was gained or disposed of in 2022.

Archdeacon’s Visitation
Parishes in the Diocese of London receive a visit every few years from one of the Archdeacons and St Anne’s turn came around in 2022. The purpose of the visit is to ensure that churches are operating in accordance with all relevant legislation and regulations, to check that records are being kept up-to-date and to discuss with the clergy, wardens and PCC opportunities and challenges. The visitation proved to be a wholly positive experience with the Archdeacon’s Report giving St Anne’s a clean bill of health in every respect.
Thanks
We are most grateful to:
-
Jake Lee (Administrator and Operations Manager) and David Gleeson (Assistant Administrator) for their hard work and support.
-
Trevor Langford Reid (PCC Treasurer) for his wise counsel.
-
The PCC for their continuing support and guidance.
-
Father Simon and Father Paul for their diligent guidance and support.

Westminster (St Margaret) Deanery Report
Over the last 12 months the life of our Deanery Synod has regained its momentum. Synod met on 26th April 2022 at St Matthew’s Westminster , with the focus of the meeting being a presentation from Penny Roberts of the London Diocesan Board for Schools about the Board and its role in the pursuit of the diocesan 2030 Vision.
On Friday 10th June, the Bishop of London spent a day in the deanery . This began with a school service at St Barnabas’, Pimlico Road, and a visit to St Mary’s, Bourne Street to see the beginning of its Pineapple Project to create new communal use facilities and connect the church to the adjacent clergy house.
Bishop Sarah, accompanied by the Area Dean, Sub Area Dean and Lay Chair, then visited churches in our deanery before ending with a garden party in the Master’s Garden next to the Temple Church. The day was beautifully sunny and the Bishop was joined by various members of the clergy and laity along the way making it a memorable celebration of this deanery. Bishop Sarah is due to hold another deanery day, on 8th June 2023.
The Deanery Synod met at St Paul’s, Covent Garden, on 18th October 2022 . The Rector and his colleagues provided an exceptionally warm welcome to synod, and developments to the building and of the parish’s mission were explained. The main feature of the meeting was the beginning of a series of mini presentations (to take place at each meeting of synod) to understand, and therefore share, some of the work going on in the parishes and institutions within our deanery.
Synod met most recently on 28th February 2023 at St Matthew’s, Westminster and received some more short presentations on Parish Initiatives. An item on Living in Love and Faith , following the successful passing of an amended motion at General Synod earlier in the month, dominated discussion.
The final meeting of the current triennium will be at an evening garden party on 8[th] June 2023 at the end of the Bishop’s day in the deanery. The triennium ends on 30th June and newly-elected members of the synod will begin their term on 1st July 2023.

Deanery Synod Representative

Archdeacon’s Visitation Re ort p
St Anne’s is showing a strong recovery from the pandemic, with more people in church, more activity, and more income than before. This may be somewhat bucking the trend, (though I do find much that is positive across the Two Cities) and is a great thing to see. It will be important for other churches to learn from this experience. It seems to me to arise from good community engagement, confident church life, good organization and strong pastoral care, all founded on healthy worship and prayer. There is no sense of ‘panic’ or great worry, at St Anne’s but trust in God and a willingness to “get on with it”. The work of the parish administrator was widely commended. This means that finances are in a good place even in the current difficulties, and the administration of the church is well run; these things are not mission, but they are “scaffolding for mission”. More than that, I was struck with the healthy way in which the commercial use of spaces was explicitly seen by the PCC as a means of mission and we discussed ways that this can help.
The parish priest and the curate clearly make great use of the village nature of Soho to be visible and to be “village parson”. The clergy are known by people and invited by the community into its activities. This is a great strength. The Rector’s “hidden advocacy” was also noted, and appreciated by those he has supported in various ways. It is very good to see that there are strong relationships with the House of St Barnabas and also good ecumenical links.
The way in which St Anne’s lives out its calling to serve the whole Soho community beyond the congregation should be noted. The church subsidises, and members of the congregation and clergy run, a weekly Pensioners’ lunch, serving around 35-40 people (some of whom have come to church as a result of this) and more recently started a successful monthly drop-in tea, which is free and open to anyone.
From these foundations, St Anne’s is a church which is actively seeking to continue growing. Faith and Food is an example of an activity which was described as ‘easy to invite people to’. It is difficult sometimes to curate the kind of activity for churches at which one can ‘look without buying.’ (Carol services are another obvious example.) One strength of St Anne’s is that it has such events as Faith and Food, engagement with the Soho Festival, and the inestimable benefit of having the chapel open all week at the heart of the community.
We discussed how the church itself is now getting too small to accommodate Sunday numbers which largely fill the space. The Sunday evening service has increased overall numbers, not simply split the existing congregation over two services. Church growth research shows that a church with about 1/3 of the seats empty is full enough to feel a going concern, but empty enough for people to be able to join.
A church which is moving to the next stage of growth in many areas: congregation size; impact in the community; staffing and administration which is increasing capacity for both income and activity. St Anne’s is in a good position from which to grow. There is no complacency here, but a desire to follow the call of the Lord to bring many more souls to him.
The Venerable Luke Miller Archdeacon of London

Treasurer’s Report
The audited figures for income and expenditure at St Anne’s are set out in detail in the Statement of Financial Activities commencing on page 16. These provide a detailed breakdown of the financial income and expenditure. Those Financial Statements have been examined by an Independent qualified examiner as required by the Charities Act.
Where there are references [n] these refer to the explanations contained in the ‘Notes to the Financial Statements’ commencing on page 18.
Budget
A budget is a financial plan that outlines expected income and expenses over a specific period of time. It helps St Anne’s to track our financial resources, prioritize spending, and achieve financial goals. More often than not, it will not be accurate in its entirety due to unforeseen expenditure or under-spend which may occur throughout the year.
Our income and expense for 2022 continue to be variable due to the uncertain economic climate.
Accounting Policy
It should be noted that the figures show income and expenditure on an accrualbased accounting system.
Unrestricted and Restricted funds
St Anne’s income and expenditure is divided into Unrestricted and Restricted funds. The figures below represent the unrestricted funds – that is to say funds available for the support and ministry of St Anne’s. Sometimes we are given funds for a specific task and these are known as restricted funds to be used only for the purpose for which they were given. Currently the only restricted fund is the Bryan Burroughs ‘clock’ fund.
With the monitoring of the income and expenditure by the administrator and regular reports by way of meetings with myself as treasurer and reports to the PCC I am pleased to say that St Anne’s has come to the end of 2022 in a stable position.
Income & Expenses overview
| Budget | Actual | % of budget | **Variance +/- ** | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Income | £ 300,000 | £ 331,942 | +10.65% | + £ 31,942 |
| Expenditure | £ 271,700 | £ 323,311 | -16.00% | + £ 51,611 |
The accounts show that our income was £31,942 more than our budget and that the expenditure was above our expected figure by £56,611.
11
Income
Funds come into St Anne’s in three principal ways.
-
Voluntary income (Collections, Donations etc.)
-
Short term hire of the Hall, Allen and Tower rooms.
-
Long-term rentals and investments.
In 2022 the total unrestricted income to St Anne’s, as indicated under Incoming Resources on page 16 was £331,942
Our primary source of revenue is by way of short-term lettings which accounted for £185,712 [2b]. This figure comprises the hire of the Hall, Allen room and Tower room together with small rentals. Long-term letting brings in additional funds which amounted to £69,678 [2c] for the year. In addition, voluntary income such as church collections and regular giving amounted to a further £73,625 [2a].
The balance of the income came from investments and grants.
Expenditure
In the year to December 2022 the total expenditure for St Anne’s activities amounted to £323,311
The two biggest calls on the funds of St Anne’s are our commitment to the London Diocese ‘Common Fund’ which in 2022 was £90,000 and the salary and administration costs of the Church which amounted to £90,8703
Common Fund (3)
The Common Fund is money given by every parish in the Diocese of London to a central ‘fund’. It is collected from parishes like St Anne’s, to pay and support clergy, and to further the work of the Diocese in all parishes across London (hence the name “Common Fund”).
In 2022 our contribution towards the Diocese amounted to £91,279 which included additional fees.
Employment & Administration Costs £90,870 [3]
St Anne’s employs a full-time administrator as well as part time administrator. In addition, we employ caretakers for out of hour’s lettings and we also employ a facilities manager on a part-time basis. Nearly a third of the total employment costs for the parish are for caretaking fees. While not an employee as such, we also support the curate in full by way of our contribution to his stipend and costs. This is done together with a donation for the purpose made by a generous benefactor.
Other Expenditure
Apart from the Common Fund together with Employment and Administration costs which traditionally take up the bulk of the funds there have been on-going cleaning, repairs, renewals and building maintenance work which has incurred both planned and un-planned expenses.
12
Bryan Burroughs Fund 2020 (£5,924)
The Bryan Burroughs fund is our only restricted fund. Bryan Burroughs was a great supporter of St Anne’s and was instrumental in getting the Church rebuilt in the 1990’s. When he passed away one of his legacies to St Anne’s was a cash sum for the upkeep of the clock. This is known as the Bryan Burroughs fund. The audited figures for income and expenditure at St Anne’s are set out in detail in the Statement of Financial Activities commencing on page 16. Those figures provide a detailed breakdown of the financial income and expenditure.
Charitable Giving and Support [4]
St Anne’s supports the community and further afield in a variety of ways including providing cash donations to various organisations. In 2022 St Anne’s charitable giving was as follows [4].
| USPG - Ukraine Appeal Christian Aid - Christian Aid Week Christian's Against Poverty Emmaus St Mark's Hamilton Terrace USPG - North India Appeal Other donation of less than £1,000 £ |
2,386 1,000 1,000 1,000 1,000 1,000 3,853 |
|---|---|
| 11,239 |
In addition, St Anne’s provided free or reduced room hire to others in the sum of £38,388 [4]
Investments & Reserves [6]
St Anne’s invests funds through CCLA who are one of the UK's largest charity fund managers. They only manage investments for charities, religious organisations and the public sector and are largely owned by clients' funds. In addition, we hold some money on short-term deposit to cover our obligations to re-decorate the Rectory from time to time. All investment & reserve funds form St Anne’s ‘reserve funds’ and these are held in trust by the PCC. The investment shares returned an unrealised loss of £11,787 in 2022.
The investment capital is held as St Anne’s financial reserves and short-term deposits. We do this in order to have funds available at short notice to cover significant repair or other unforeseen costs. The PCC reviews these each year to ensure that adequate funds are available without losing out on any potential investments.
At the 31st December 2022, the fixed assets reserves stood at £131,572[6].
Bank
We currently bank with the CAF (Charities Aid Foundation) bank. This bank is expressly focused on Charity banking and provides a number of useful facilities to ensure both transparency and ease of management of St Anne’s funds.
13
Gift Aid
St Anne’s is grateful for financial support by way of donations and as a registered charity, can claim back 25% of the value for all donations made by UK tax payers (providing the donor has paid enough tax to cover all of their charitable donations and not just the donations made to St. Anne’s). If you give financial aid (regularly or otherwise), you are encouraged to do it by way of Gift Aid or Standing order (details at the end of the report).
Risk Management and Financial Control
It is vital that St Anne’s as both a Church and a Charity is transparent in financial matters.
The Treasurer and PCC continue to identify and review major risks to which we are exposed and already have procedures and identified systems in place to manage these. Controls in place at St Anne’s help ensure that purchases have been authorised, and that the goods or services ordered have actually been received.
I am confident that with the methods and procedures in place at St Anne’s we can demonstrate both transparency and accountability for all our funds. As a result, opportunity for fraud, dishonesty or error is minimised.
In conclusion, I would like to thank our parish administrator and officers of the church in 2022 for the dedicated and efficient manner in which they have overseen the finances and to all those who gave freely in support of St Anne’s throughout the year.
Charity Responsibility
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent.
They do this as trustees of the charity and I am grateful to them for their oversight and guidance during 2022
It is worth noting that St Anne’s is self-sufficient in regard to administration and running costs which, especially with regards to energy costs have risen higher than expected in 2022

Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2022
Independent Examiner's Report to the Members of the Parochial Church Council of St Anne's Church Soho
I report on the financial statements of the church for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are set out on pages 16 to 21.
Respective responsibilities of members and examiner
The PCC members are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The members consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
a) Examine the financial statements under section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
b) To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
c) To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 you as members concerning any such matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all 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 view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiners’ statement
Since the gross income for the year exceeds the amount provided in Section 145(3) of the Act; I confirm that I am qualified to act as Independent Examiner under the provisions of that section of the Act and that my qualification is as shown below.
In connection with my examination; no matter has come to my attention:
-
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
-
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the financial statements
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations' "true and fair view" provisions. They have been prepared under FRS102(2016) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2016 version of the Statement of Recommended Practise, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP(FRS102)).
The financial statements have been prepared on the accruals basis.
Consecrated and benefice property
In so far as consecrated and benefice property of any kind is excluded from the statutory definition of "charity" by Section 10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011 such assets are not capitalised in the financial statements.
Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £2,000. They are valued at cost and depreciated over 4 years.
Moveable church furnishings
Moveable church furnishings held by the Rector and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are accounted for 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 financial statements.
Funds
Unrestricted funds represent the general funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purpose of the PCC.
Designated funds are general funds set aside by the PCC- they remain unrestricted and the PCC will move any surplus to other general funds.
Restricted funds must be spent on restricted purposes and details of the funds held are shown in the notes to the accounts.
18
Notes to the financial statements
Incoming resources
Collections and donations are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC.
Gift aid is recognised when the income is received.
Rent from land and buildings owned by the PCC and leased by licence under faculty is recognised when the rent is due.
Rental income or income from lets to organisations whose aims either accord with those of the PCC or are supported by the PCC is treated as "Income from church activities".
All other rental income or income from lets is treated as "Income from activities for generating funds"
Investment assets
Investments are valued at market value at 31 December and unrealised gains or losses are accounted for in the SOFA.
Current assets
Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for any amounts that may prove uncollectible.
Resources expended
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC.
Any diocesan quota unpaid at 31 December is provided for as an operational (though not a legal) liability and shown as a creditor in the Balance Sheet.

Support St Anne’s Church
The Church of England is becoming less able to rely on its historic assets to generate income, so parish churches like ours have to become as self-sufficient as we can and, if possible, help poorer parishes in London. We believe we are making our buildings (and people!) work very hard to generate as much income as possible, but we also need support from our congregation and the people who know us. If you would like to support us then please complete the form below to help ensure that St Anne’s continues its worship, work and witness in Soho.
