PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST PAUL’S CHICHESTER
TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Our aims and purposes as a charity
St Paul’s PCC became a registered charity on 26 January 2010. The charity’s name is The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Pauls, Chichester and the charity number is 1133785.
When planning our activities for the year, the incumbent and the Parochial Church Council 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.
Our Goals
After a consultation with the congregation in 2017, the PCC adopted five goals towards which we continue to work. They are as follows:
-
A true parish church - rooted in the life of the city, responsive to local needs, and open to all.
-
A place of imaginative and inspiring worship, with the Eucharist at our heart.
-
A community of faith, committed to deepening our own discipleship and nurturing the faith of others, not least children and young people.
-
A church that promotes a culture of inclusion, safeguarding, stewardship and good governance.
-
A supportive and caring congregation, with strong mission links and a commitment to environmental sustainability.
How we are seeking to be a true parish church- rooted in the life of the city, responsive to local needs, and open to all.
Until the first period of lockdown in March, the church was open from early morning until 6pm each day. Both the church and the parish centre were being used by church-run groups and non-church groups alike.
Church-run groups include Cherubs for babies, toddlers and their parents and a Ladies’ Group. The parish centre offered meeting space for refugees and asylum seekers who are linked to Sanctuary in Chichester. The parish centre was also used by a rock choir, several WEA courses, two yoga classes and for meetings of the National Childbirth Trust. It served as the exam centre for practical and theory music exams for the Associated Board of the
2
Royal Schools of Music and Trinity. It was also used for some NHS groups dealing with depression and mood management, long-term illness and disability, and adolescent mental health problems with up to three meetings each week. Every week Say Aphasia met to offer support to stroke patients. The church was used in the evenings by the Chichester Symphony Orchestra, Chichester Singers and Chichester Chorale. The church was also used by the NHS Blood Transfusion service for seven blood donor sessions.
St Paul’s participated in the city-wide scheme to offer homeless people the possibility of one hot meal each day. Our contribution was a cooked breakfast each Saturday that attracted fifteen people on average.
St Michael’s Hall continued to offer the only significant meeting place in the large residential area in the north of the city. It was in almost constant use by keep fit classes (three yoga, and one Pilates), two art groups, Rainbow and Guide meetings, weekly meetings of a children’s drama school (Perform), a mother and toddler group, puppy training, falls prevention classes, line dancing and a social group for elderly residents. It also provided a meeting space for the local residents’ association and an holistic therapists’ group. The Chichester City Band used St Michael’s two times each week for practice. There was a monthly Sunday tea party and Evensong at St Michael’s, mostly for people who would otherwise be spending the day by themselves. St Michael’s Hall remained closed from March onwards. The buildings on the St Paul’s site had to be closed during the first period of lockdown. Limited re-opening for private prayer was permitted in June and congregational worship resumed in July. During the year there were seven Baptisms, one wedding, six funerals and two memorial services.
Volunteers were regularly taking communion to people in their own homes when they were unable to get to church and this practice was resumed whenever Covid regulations permitted. Likewise, monthly services were held at Byron Court, Augusta Court, Marriott Lodge and Wellington Grange, the residential and nursing homes in the parish until March but not for the rest of the year. St Paul’s provided office space for the Anna Chaplaincy that resources the spiritual journey of older people, especially those who were room bound, house bound and in care homes.
The project group that was set up to oversee proposed developments to the church and parish centre continued to meet. The building was made more accessible by the construction of new ramps and electric doors. This work, that was funded by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund was completed in the late summer and dedicated in September.
In August estimates for the second phase of the work became available. The PCC agreed to proceed with the development that would be funded by the Allen Trust and the sale of Regnum Court. The work began in the autumn and is due to be completed in May 2021. There will be a new kitchen, better storage facilities, and new community space. The existing windows will be replaced with high-quality double-glazing and the premises will be redecorated. All of this work is being undertaken with a view to reducing energy loss and minimising environmental damage.
The third phase will be focused on the church itself. It will involve installing a completely new scheme of lighting, replacing the wall hangings with acoustic panels, installing a permanent projector and screen , improving and redecorating the porch, and undertaking the complete repainting of the walls and ceiling, including the sanctuary.
Under the title St Paul’s Renewed , a vigorous programme of fundraising was initiated. Applications were made to charitable trusts for grants and this is ongoing. St Paul’s was nominated as the charity for the Goodwood Festival of Speed but this event was cancelled. It
3
is hoped that it will take place in 2021. A proposal to hold a flower festival in 2021 to mark the completion of all phases of the building work has also been postponed.
How St Paul’s is a place of imaginative and inspiring worship, with the Eucharist at our heart.
The main service, at which the Eucharist is celebrated, takes place at 10am on Sundays and this has continued since July. The Thursday morning Eucharist was also resumed when Covid regulations permitted. The requirements for self-isolation among many members of the congregation have meant that it was not possible to measure the usual Sunday attendance which assessed across England in October each year.
Closure of the buildings from March until July did not mean the cessation of worship. Services were streamed and included a Sunday Eucharist celebrated in a retired priest’s garden and occasional services of Morning and Evening Prayer offered by the director of music. In addition, there was a weekly online Sunday School.
Since the reopening of the church for worship in July, the Sunday and Thursday Eucharists have been streamed live and made available on the website and on Facebook.
How St Paul’s aspires to be a community of faith, committed to deepening our own discipleship and nurturing the faith of others, not least children and young people.
St Paul’s is concerned to continue to offer many opportunities for prayer, worship and Christian fellowship. From January to March, the pattern of activity remained as it had for the previous year. The Eucharist was celebrated at services on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Morning and Evening Prayer were said each day. The monthly Cafe Church continued to be a popular option for busy families with children.
From March this all changed when much activity moved online. During the first period of lockdown the rector wrote a daily blog. The church newsletter The Grapevine was produced weekly and delivered by a team of volunteers to parishioners who did not have internet access. The Lent course was curtailed by the first period of lockdown but an Advent course did take place. Opportunities for meeting for conversation, reflection and prayer were provided through weekly Zoom meetings and a monthly Lectio Divina.
Sunday School moved to Zoom and continued to meet in this way for the rest of the year. The popular Christingle service took place in church and attracted about 50 participants. A nativity play that incorporated still photographs of children taken in safe way at the local donkey sanctuary was made available online.
A new children’s and youth worker was appointed during the year to fill the vacancy created when the former post-holder left to train for ordination. Grants from the Diocesan Mission Fund and the St John’s Trust made it possible to appoint a schools’ worker to work mainly in Central School.
How we are working towards being a church that promotes a culture of inclusion, safeguarding, stewardship and good governance.
The number recorder on the electoral roll at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting on 20 October was 233.
The church is attended by people of all ages and they are encouraged to play an active part in services and a wide range of volunteer roles. There is no distinction between men and women in the offices that can be held. The congregation contains a refreshing spectrum of people
4
with ethnicities other than the UK white classification that reflects the diversity within the parish. It also embraces people with learning difficulties, mental health issues and physical disabilities. Over the years the church has been home to people irrespective of their sexual orientation or gender reassignment. The PCC had hoped to consider how St Paul’s might be made a more sight-friendly church, but this discussion had to be postponed.
The PCC received regular reports about safeguarding and took steps to ensure that the safeguarding policies relating to children and to vulnerable adults were up to date and prominently displayed. In March the safeguarding measures at St Paul’s, along with all Anglican churches, were scrutinised by a team from the Diocese of Chichester and found to be satisfactory.
The PCC met in person twice in February and March. From July monthly meetings were conducted via Zoom and nearly always had a one hundred per cent attendance. The Standing Committee met eight times in 2020.
Meetings were mostly taken up with consideration of the building work and reports on finance, including a debt owing to the Pensions Board. It was agreed to have a stewardship campaign to start in February 2021. A card reader was installed in the church to facilitate contactless giving. New HR policies were agreed as were changes in the length of office for PCC and Deanery Synod members. Some discussion took place about a proposal from the rector to commission a Christus figure.
How we try to be a supportive and caring congregation, with strong mission links and a commitment to environmental sustainability.
Until March, the pastoral care team continued to function through trying to ensure that visits were made people in residential and nursing homes and those unable to come to church and in offering lifts to medical appointments. Additional volunteers were recruited in advance of lockdown in order to help with shopping and delivery of prescription medicines. In addition to assistance given to members of the congregation, a handful of requests from the local authority were also met.
The usual fund-raising events to support mission were not able to take place. St Paul’s has long-standing commitment to give five per cent of income to mission agencies and charities. There has been a mixture of standard beneficiaries and organisations recommended by members of the congregation. The apportionment of the funds was made in 2021 but consultation with the congregation was not possible. Donations were made to the Church Army’s Centre of Mission in Southampton, the Church Mission Society, BEATS which is a school set up in Sumatra after the devastation of the tsunami in 2004, and the Chichester Diocesan Harvest Appeal for West Africa, USPG for its work in South India. Additional donations were made to Confide that offers a local counselling service to those of any faith or none, not least to those on low incomes, the Chichester City Centre drop-in centre that runs a safe after-school drop-in for secondary school children, the Snowdrop Trust for children with life-limiting illnesses, and Sanctuary in Chichester that offers support to asylum seekers and refugees. Money was also set aside to provide breakfasts for homeless people.
A monthly donation of food and toiletries to Stonepillow, a local homelessness charity, continued whenever possible. At Christmas, members of the congregation bought toys to be given to children who had contact with the Diocesan Family Social Work projects.
5
We are a Fair-Trade church and are committed to using fair trade products wherever possible. We hold an Eco-congregation award, and our green credentials are subject to regular internal scrutiny

The Charities Act and Charity Law and Church Accounting Regulations 2006 require the members of the PCC to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of the year and of the incoming and outgoing resources for the year then ended.
In preparing those financial statements, the members of the PCC are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue its activities.
The members of the PCC are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act and Charity Law and Church Accounting Regulations 2006. The members of the PCC are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

On 31 March 2021 the flat in Regnum Court was sold for £275,000 less costs incurred in relation to the sale of £7,721. At the balance sheet date the property market was uncertain due to Co-vid therefore the investment property has not been revalued at year end. This will be shown in next years financial statements.
