St George’s, Whyke, Chichester Trustees’ Annual Report for 2022

This report follows the guidance documents produced by the Diocese for use in the preparation of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) Statutory Annual Report under English Law as required by the Charity Commission.

Our aims and purposes as a charity

The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Revd Dr Angus Reid, in:

What we planned to do to achieve our charitable objectives

When planning our activities for the year, our incumbent and the PCC have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on ‘charities for the advancement of religion’.

The council has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, fully recognising its duty to have due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.

For this year we discussed and planned the following objectives and activities to fulfil our aims:

4

What we achieved and how we affected beneficiaries’ lives

Attendance at worship

The church family welcomes visitors from within as well as outside the parish boundary. We wish to welcome anyone from all walks of life to take part in the life of the church. We maintain that voluntary attendance to worship the Lord Jesus Christ is a major demonstration of the public benefit of our activities.

The average regular weekly attendance, counted during October, was 114 adults and 23 children. Over the course of the year, it has been a great encouragement to welcome new families to St George’s. Whilst we look to encourage the deepening of faith for all ages, we have sought this year to enhance our provision for young people by launching a dedicated programme, ‘Diddy Disciples’, for the youngest children, led by some of our teenagers. This sits alongside the ‘J-Team’ activities for those of school age. We give thanks for those who lead and nurture our young people in this way.

A significant initiative has been the introduction of a monthly All-Age Eucharist with a shorter interactive sermon. This enables children to participate more fully in the service by serving, reading and leading prayers. As they bring their sense of wonder and curiosity into our worship, both young and old benefit as they learn to value each other’s presence and gifts.

Two mid-week Mass services have been introduced: one on Wednesdays at 11.30am, followed by refreshments and fellowship; the other on Thursdays at 9.30am. The church is also open for private prayer from Mondays to Thursdays.

A Lent Group met for five weeks and proved to be so popular that the meetings had to be moved into church in order to accommodate everyone who wished to attend. We were also able to offer the meditative service of Stations of the Cross during Lent and welcomed 145 people to our services at Easter.

Our Patronal Festival was celebrated on Sunday 24 April. After the Mass, the ‘Flute for the Day’ group entertained everyone. We then enjoyed a cooked ‘bring and share’ lunch, followed by a fun and actionpacked production of ‘St George and the Dragon’.

5

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

It was with a deep sense of sadness that we learnt of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 8th September. During her long reign she was a source of strength and stability for the nation, the Commonwealth and the world, sustained by her strong Christian faith and deep sense of vocation. The union flag was flown at half-mast and the church was open from 9am to 6.30pm each day, where members of the public could sign a Book of Remembrance, light a candle, say a prayer or just sit for a period of quiet.

A special Commemorative Choral Service with prayer, remembrance and thanksgiving for the life of Her Late Majesty was held at St George’s at 6pm on Sunday 18[th] September.

6

Harvest Festival was celebrated on Sunday 9th October and the gifts received were donated to the Chichester District Foodbank. The service was followed by a Ploughman's Lunch after which Fr Bill Johnston spoke about Harvest & Food in Africa.

Remembrance Sunday was observed on 13[th ] November, with the laying of

wreaths and Act of Remembrance at the War Memorial.

J-Team Nativity Play

The J-Team Nativity Play, which was enjoyed by a packed congregation, took place during the Parish Mass on Sunday 18[th] December.

A contemplative service of night prayer was held every Wednesday during Advent, whilst on Thursday afternoons there was an Advent Reflection Group offering prayer and reflection with scripture, art and music. Beautiful services of Advent Liturgy and Carols were also held, together with Carol singing at various locations in the parish. 209 people attended services on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Teaching, baptising and nurturing new and existing believers

Eight children and one adult were baptised at St George’s during 2022 and five funerals were held, either in church or at crematoria.

After a period of preparation, some of our children were admitted to their First Holy Communion on 17[th] July. Three candidates have also been prepared for confirmation.

Several new people have also come forward to join the team of lesson readers and intercessors.

Evangelism and outreach

Rumboldswhyke Church of England Primary School

The vision of Rumboldswhyke Primary School is to provide a nurturing, creative Christian community where everyone achieves with confidence and enjoyment. A key component of this vision is to build relationships with the local community and parish church. It has been encouraging to see this vision take shape and take hold over the last year as the school has grown considerably under Mrs Lisa Harris, the new headteacher appointed in 2021, and as part of the Bishop Luffa Learning Partnership (a small multi-academy trust which includes Bishop Luffa Church of England Secondary School). There are now children in reception class up to year 4 with the school looking to have children all the way up to year 6 by 2024/2025.

The links between the school and St George’s have continued strengthen in the past year. Fr Angus sits as a foundation governor on the school’s local governing body which meets to plan the strategic vision of the school, oversee finances and hold the school leadership and its performance to account. Fr Angus also leads

7

collective worship at school each Tuesday morning. Earlier in the year, Fr Angus invited one of the classes to St George’s to explore and examine the different objects and symbols in the church as part of their interactive learning on local history and religion. He also joined the school for an outing to Chichester Cathedral. Sue Howell-Evans, St George’s Director of Music, has, for most of the year, also been leading a music session at the school every Friday.

St George’s has welcomed the whole school, staff and parents to a number of school services held in the church. These included an end of term service in the summer, a Harvest service, a Christingle and a Nativity service. At each service the children sang songs and hymns which they had rehearsed; led prayers; read passages of scripture and other texts; and interactively presented different themes drawn from their lessons in the classroom. It has been a delight to welcome the children and their families to St George’s and to witness their growing sense that St George’s is an increasingly important part of their school experience. This was further evidenced in several of the school families attending the Christmas Fair at St George’s with some of the students performing Christmas carols and some of the families helping with games and stalls at the Fair.

Several of the families with children at the school are regular worshipers at St George’s with many of the children attending the J-team and some of the parents taking an active role in the church.

Looking ahead, it is anticipated that the partnership with the school will continue to develop and grow. In consultation with Mrs Harris and the board of governors, Fr Angus plans to meet and greet parents and students every Monday morning at the school gates. Together with Mrs Harris and Sue Howell-Evans, Fr Angus is exploring the possibility of an after school worship club and a termly school Eucharist in which the children take an active role in worship. It is also hoped that more families associated with the school will attend St George’s Sunday worship.

WRAP Community Choir

With the shut-down of social activities brought about by Covid during 2019/2020, the choir eventually regrouped in September 2021 with a few enthusiastic members. Come 2022 membership had increased but others were still very cautious and, in reality, have since taken the decision not to return to community singing. There has been so much enthusiasm from those attending although there had been a few weeks when insufficient funds to meet the weekly fee of the Director of Music had been received.

To enhance the rehearsals, one of the members, an excellent pianist, volunteered her services enabling the leader to concentrate on encouraging members in their singing, of which members have been much appreciative, both of the leader and the pianist.

On returning from the summer break, in September it was agreed the choir should go for what had been a very regular event in the church’s calendar, a Christmas concert. With less members compared to previous concerts an entertaining programme was put together including solo performances and readings. As always, instead of charging an admission fee, donations were requested for two local charities, this year, Children on the Edge and Contact 88, and a total of £150 was shared between them both.

8

WRAP-CHAT

As mentioned in the WRAP Choir item, due to the impact COVID had had on social gatherings, the Wednesday Tea & Chat, that had been such a popular weekly get together of many years standing, had ceased and, in the summer of 2022, it was agreed a new social meeting group should be formed, replacing Tea & Chat, to meet on the 1st Wednesday of each month, excluding August, to be called WRAP-CHAT. The idea being to organise a different event each month, visiting speakers, music entertainment, board games etc. Already the meetings are proving to be popular, at the first meeting, held in October, Fr Angus Reid shared with us his journey from the day of the 9/11 attack to ordination, in November Fr Philip Meader talked us through the life of a Biblical Shepherd, producing authentic items from the Holy Land and in December we celebrated with a festive tea party and raffle, music was provided by Yuriko Luc and community singing was encouraged by Sue Howell Evans. We look forward to the interesting events arranged for 2023.

Music at St George’s

The last year has seen the musical life of the church cautiously growing back to pre-pandemic levels of activity. Fr Angus has encouraged all aspects of music in the church and has introduced a new style for the All-Age services which have been well received. There is scope to develop the choral opportunities in this service and we look forward to hearing more of the children’s voices.

The new WRAP-CHAT pre-Christmas afternoon tea event featured a ‘singalong between the cakes’. This was an opportunity to sing a wider range of Christmas music and the high standard of singing was a worthy successor to that of ‘Tea and Chat’ and gives an indication of very healthy congregational singing.

Towards the end of the year there was a concerted effort to take our Carol Singing round the parish. As well as fine weather, we were also given encouragement with mince pies and hot drinks. This provided a good platform on which to build next year.

St George’s Tots

Tots meets on Monday mornings, offering term-time sessions of soft play, stories and singing for families with young children. It offers an easy introduction to church life and has led to the baptism of one young attendee.

Shrove Tuesday Pancake Party

Inspired by Messy Church, a Shrove Tuesday Pancake Party for families with young children was held on 1[st] March. Following a time for crafts, a story and singing in church, pancakes were enjoyed by about 20 children and their families in the Centenary Centre.

9

The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee

At Pentecost, St George’s joined with the residents of Cleveland Road to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with a street party. Tea and coffees were served outside after the morning service and people then enjoyed a ‘bring your own food’ picnic lunch. Afternoon events included a face painting competition, scooter races, egg and spoon races, and games such as ‘splat the rat’.

St George’s Ramblers

The ramblers have enjoyed a varied programme of walks this year: along the canal towpath to Hunston; from Fishbourne to Dell Quay; around West Dean Woods to see the spring daffodils; from Boxrove Priory to Halnaker Windmill; a tour of the city’s parks; and a pre-Christmas walk around the lakes to Runcton where we joined with non-walkers from St George’s for coffee and conversation.

Other outreach events

During the year, two quiz nights with fish and chip suppers were held. A coffee morning with raffle, cake stall and table-top sale took place in July.

Christmas Fair

Our Christmas Fair on 10[th] December was one of the year’s highlights, keen anticipated by church members and visitors from the local community alike. Stalls included home-made cakes, craft items such as hand-knitted hats and scarves, books, toys, a teddy tombola, festive raffle and Father Christmas expertly assisted by elves in his grotto. The choir from Rumboldswhyke Primary School sang beautifully for us, watched by proud parents and friends. Teas, coffees and mince pies were enjoyed as conversation flowed and new friendships were made. The organisers and everyone involved did a wonderful job to ensure it was a memorable day.

10

Provision of the church building for people to enjoy

Thanks to the generosity of a donor, who gave their time, labour, pots and plants, we now have a fine garden on the west side of the church, behind the War Memorial. Fr Angus blessed the garden after the Parish Mass on 24[th] April.

During the year the PCC has also been looking at how it can better fulfil its responsibilities for St Mary’s Churchyard, working to ensure that the grounds and graves are properly maintained. The aim is to make the churchyard into a place of peace and calm that visitors can enjoy. In tandem to this, a wildlife maintenance plan is also being developed

Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish

A high value is placed on the provision of discreet pastoral care for parishioners. A new residential care home was due to open in the parish late in 2022, and beginning in February 2023 Fr Angus will be offering communion services and pastoral care to residents. It is hoped that there will be opportunities for other forms of volunteer engagement via things such as music, art and reading.

Care and tangible support for others

Throughout the year, St George’s has continued to support the Chichester District Foodbank, a project founded ten years ago by local churches and community groups to alleviate food poverty in the local area. Shockingly, demand for its services have increased considerably in 2022 as people face ever rising food and fuel costs.

11

In a new outreach initiative, we have been pleased to partner with the charity UK Harvest to host a fortnightly pop-up pantry in the Centenary Centre. ‘Fed and Nourished’ seeks to address the twin issues of food poverty and food waste. In return for a modest donation, anyone can come and fill a shopping bag with groceries and fresh food. Volunteers from St George’s provide a warm and friendly welcome and serve refreshments. The project also connects people with organisations that offer long-term support.

From November, the Centenary Centre has also been used to host the pilot of a new community-based project, Food for Friends. The project allows various refugee groups to access the Centre kitchen and eating space, to be together with befrienders, and to shop for and cook their own dishes. The project is run by Jenny Cole in partnership with St George's, Transition Chichester and the Quakers.

Charitable giving

The people of St George’s responded generously to the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal and £1,451 was sent to the Disasters Emergency Committee in order to help provide food, water, shelter and healthcare to the refugees and displaced families.

We pray: Lord of all the earth, be present with the people of Ukraine at this time of danger, fear and conflict. Grant that wise and peaceable counsels may yet prevail, and give to all suffering nations the freedom they desire and deserve. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Additionally, donations received at the pet blessing service in October were divided between Mount Noddy (RSPCA Animal Centre) and the Chichester District Foodbank. We also continue to collect milk bottle tops and used stamps that help to raise funds for the Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice and St Wilfrid’s Hospice respectively.

Financial Review

Income and Outgoings

Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £81,700 of which £55,800 related to unrestricted voluntary donations, and a further £10,600 was from Gift Aid. Excluding the legacy received last year, overall income has increased by £14,700, which includes restricted donations that are detailed in Note 5 to the accounts. Fundraising activities including quiz nights, vintage tea party and the Christmas fair raised £2,790 (after expenses) and the concerts raised £2,077. Well done to all involved in fundraising activities.

The remaining £610 from the Chichester District Council fund was used towards the replacement of the cupboard doors in the kitchen and the remaining £1,126 was taken from the bequest from Kay and Vince Glover. The bequest also funded the new notice boards for the hall which cost £104. Our Utilities have increased by £1,027 due to the gas and electric costs doubling. We have received an energy cost grant of £275 and a deanery synod donation of £900.

Sharing ministry costs of the Diocese of Chichester

The PCC continued to pay £55,000 Parish Share to the Diocese. The Parish Share goes towards meeting the costs of clergy stipends, housing, training, and pensions, as well as national church responsibilities. The PCC also pays to insure the church with Ecclesiastical Insurance. The cost of the policy in 2022 was £2,558.

Staff Costs

Our organist, who is also a trustee, received payments totalling £4,990 during 2022 for their role as an organist and not for being a trustee.

Office costs

The PCC is fortunate in that office administration is carried out by able and hard-working volunteers. There have been no major purchases for the office during 2022.

Money held in reserve.

It is PCC policy to invest temporarily surplus general funds with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund, returning proportionately these funds to our current account as and when finances are required to pay day-to-day bills. At the year end, the total cash held by the charity decreased by less than £400 to £66,800, of which £57,700 is unrestricted and can be used for any charitable purpose.

The PCC have determined that the charity should aim to hold unrestricted cash of no less than £43,000 (which equates to roughly 6 months of unrestricted expenditure) 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 £57,700 and the charity is holding excess funds in order to meet any costs for the quinquennial, which is now overdue.

13

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

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 presented accounts prepared on the accruals basis using the Charities SORP. However, as the charity's income is 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 6 below.

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees 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.

The Churchyard relates to funds provided for the purpose of maintenance of St Mary's Churchyard and the development of The Friends of St Mary's Churchyard.

The Flower fund is for donations for the purchase of the church flowers.

The Flower Tin is also for the purchase of church flowers but is the cash element for day to day purchases. Receipts need to be shown for all purchases.

Children's activities consist of Tots and J Team and funds for this purpose are used for these groups.

Funds given for the Organ and choir fund are used for the purchase of music and other choir related costs.

The Kay Glover fund relates to a legacy received in the previous year which was incorrectly allocated to restricted funds; there were no conditions attached to the legacy. This has now been transferred to a designated fund.

Girl's choir relates to funds given for this particular youth activity.

Iris Woodhams fund remainder to be used for youth related activities with the hope for it to be put towards the cost of a youth worker. The funds donated at the pet blessing service were split between two charities.

Two energy grants were received in the year to help towards rising utility costs and these have been fully spent in the year.

WRAP community choir funds for the community choir which has now stopped running. Funds will be held until WRAP restarts or a new WRAP project is started.
