Registered Charity No. 1132877
REPORT OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL
For the year ended 31 December 2020
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The PCC has articulated a Parish vision:
We, the people of God at St Mary’s, Great Ilford, seek to be faithful to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers ( Acts 2:42) and to authenticate this in acts of love and service to one another and to the community in which we are set.
In particular we seek to do this:
-
By growing in our knowledge and love of God through the duty and joy of worship day by day and through study of holy scripture – that God’s people in this place might grow in faith and number
-
By seeing all that we do as flowing from the incarnation of Jesus Christ who came among us so that we might be loved into salvation, celebrating the rich diversity of human life in its manifold expressions as created and redeemed by God
-
Through fostering a culture of welcome and hospitality, which includes all, so that we might be truly representative of the diverse community in which we are set
-
Through reaching out in love and service to all age groups from the very young, to young people, young adults, those in mid-life, through to the elderly. All life is created, hallowed and infinitely valued by God who is the source of all life and love
St Mary’s PCC has the responsibility, with the Incumbent, of promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It also has maintenance responsibilities for the church and community hall at 426 High Road, Ilford.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The church and premises are at the heart of the community and serve as a focal point and a beacon of hope, stability and cohesion in an ever-changing community. Public services are held throughout the week and are open to all regardless of faith affiliation, and the church building is available to interfaith and secular groups. The Community Hall is used throughout the week by community groups and on a casual basis for other community activities. Church and hall are likewise available for appropriate functions such as concerts and recitals.
The church tower houses a ring of 8 bells. With the help of the St Margaret’s Barking ringers, who ring in several towers in this part of Essex/east London, the bells are rung before Sunday Mass about twice per month in addition to Holy Days and other ad hoc celebrations.
As the Church of England is the Church by law established we are uniquely available for civic services and special services for local groups. The church building houses some items of religious art which are of particular note and features in the Barking Episcopal Area Art Trail.
The church is situated within a Victorian churchyard and cemetery and this has been designated as an Area of Special Interest by the Local Authority. As such we regularly and increasingly facilitate the locating of family graves and assist those researching their genealogy. The churchyard is home to 5 Commonwealth War Graves and in 2018 work was undertaken to clean these up and make them more accessible. The Commonwealth War Grave Commission installed a sign on our main gates indicating the presence of these important graves. Work to make the churchyard a more attractive and safer area continues in concert with the local authority.

ANNUAL REVIEW
At the time of producing this report we are in the spring of 2021; 14 months into the global coronavirus pandemic. 2020 has been blighted by the pandemic due to 3 lockdowns, the first of which saw the total closure of churches.
At the outset of the pandemic we put in place measures to ensure that the church community could continue in worship, fellowship and pastoral care. A pastoral group was established and those who we believed to be most vulnerable during periods of social isolation were called on a regular basis by a member of the team. Any significant concerns were then passed on to the Vicar who was able to take necessary action. This scheme remains in place and has been well received by those involved.
We also began to live stream daily services, first from the Vicarage and later from the church. This ensured that the majority who had access to the internet were able to access live worship and join together with others doing the same. This has been a lifeline for many, and new people have come into our digital worshiping community through it. Live streaming continues daily and we have invested a significant amount of resources into improving and stabilising the infrastructure. We think the live streaming will remain an integral part of our ministry at St Mary’s.
For the minority who do not have access to the internet, we have ensured greater pastoral contact and the weekly provision of hard copies of worship materials. We have also signposted to the Church of England’s Daily Prayer phone line.
Due to the pandemic our usual program of social events, retreats and pilgrimages have been cancelled. We intend to begin this program again when national guidelines allow.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Regeneration works, most notably the nave flooring, were completed in the early months of 2020, at an additional cost of £35,580, from memorial funds; later in the year, the Sacred Heart window was installed in the Resurrection Chapel, from a bequest by Margaret Bonner (£23,680 in 2020, £2,567 previously).
Following the lockdown in March, provision was made for streaming services first from the Vicarage, later from the church; this is to become a permanent feature of the church to enable the housebound to connect with the life of the church, inevitably at a cost. Some of the one-off expenditure has come from memorial funds; two expenditure heads which cover electronics and sanitising and signage show an increase over 2019 of £1,170 and £880.
We have lost the income from the hire of our hall, but voluntary giving has remained notably strong, as more members have moved to payment through the bank or to online giving, a drop of only 2% on 2019; at the same time people have given £2660 to the Vicar’s discretionary fund to assist the victims of the pandemic.
The cancelation of pilgrimages in 2020 led to a marked drop in related income and expenditure, but no overall effect on our finances as these activities are self-funding.
Our unrestricted income for 2020 was £51,165 and our expenditure £86,661, a shortfall of £35,496, which was made up by a transfer of £35,000 from memorial funds. During the year we received an additional £7,556 in legacies. Excluding endowment funds, total assets of the church at the end of 2020 were £208,405.

The investments are administered for the PCC by the Chelmsford Diocesan Board of Finance. The Charibond has the higher rate of return, but the Charifund has the potential for capital growth (or decline).

Refugee Welcome Dagenham
Refugee Welcome Dagenham is a project sponsored by the PCC, which has run from October 2018; our formal commitment concluded at the end of April 2020, but we have continued to offer occasional support particularly with health and language, and we are moving toward a more general support of refugee settlement.

The figure for housing refers to furnishing and repairs; the supported family are responsible for their own rent, with normal housing benefits; on two occasions benefits were delayed and an emergency loan was made and repaid promptly. The grant from LBR was specifically for language support (ESOL)
Other funds
There was no expenditure from the Bell fund (£161 c/fwd), Choir fund (£671 c/fwd) or Fabric fund (£1,018 c/fwd)
Charity fund: £55.25 was brought forward from 2019, and £518.50 collected in 2020; £573.75 was shared out between 4 charities in April 2021, but is shown as in hand in these accounts.
Flower fund : £461 was brought forward, including £36 in a flower float administered by Miss Margaret Quinney. During 2020 £170 was donated and £172 spent on flowers through the flower float; £180 from the Flower Fund was spent on two Christmas trees. £281 was carried forward, of which £34 was in the flower float.
Emergency fund: In this exceptional year, donations in response to different emergencies were fully spent and accounted for through the Vicar’s discretionary fund. £454 was collected in response to the Beirut port explosion and passed to Christian Aid; £696.25 was contributed to meet the cost of emergency C-Section for a relative of a family from Syria under our care, and was sent through family contacts; £2,660 was collected and dispensed in emergency assistance under the label CovidAid – this last appears in the accounts under the General Fund.
