A huge amount has happened. with the Leadership of the PCC, who have set cLear priorities forthe increased activity and mission of St Pancr8s Euston Road. Llturgy and Spiritual life The main Sunday Euch8rist service has moved to 11am and Tuesday evening'S8nctuary' Eucharist has been held since November2024.

Publlc Events and Gatherlngs: hlghllghts The Crypt gallery Gontinues to host innovative and provocative intenientions The church hosted 'Ritual Bodies, in partnership with Arts and Christianity in the summer of 2024. The Student Christian Movement held their conference at St Pancras in 2024 and the Women's Voices conference was held in May 25. In June 2024 the Church hosted a controversial gathering with performances by Roger Waters. Yusuf Islam Cat Stephens and Lowkey attracting support and opprobrium in equal measure on the subject of Palestine. Much has been done this year in the name of opening up St Pancras as much as possible, and importantly, experimenting with ways to become more financially sustainable with longer opening hours and more activity and gatherings in the church. The PCC'S stated aim is for St Pancras to become the 'vibrant heart of its community,. step by step, we honour the efforts and achievements of past generations by committingto workingfor a sustainable future together. My thanks must go chiefly to the church wardens Dorothea 8nd Duncan fortheir tireless work and leadership over the past year. And to 8ll the PCC who have embarked on this new path together, to all of the paid staff especially Miriam, Christopher, Anne, Ronnie, Colin, Alain. Alam and Stuart. And to Jonathan and Sarah who in just a few short months have helped to breathe new life into the ministry of this important community hub. Thanks be to God for each one and I look forward immenselyto all that lies ahead. Lucywinkett May 2025
Report of Associate Priest: Revd Jonathan Lee I start by recording sincere thanks from Revd Sarah and from me forthe warm and hospitable welcome that we have received in the eight months since we arrived here, and for your ongoing support throughout these months. Particular, thanks to Revd Lucy for her guidance and advice. and to Dorothea. who. as a church warden and PCC treasurer. has been such an assistance and source of knowledge about the life of this church. l also want to record my thank Revd Sarah for her energy. perception and hard work as non-stipendiary priest (part time). notto mention her tolerance of me, as we have both begun to minister here. Itwas a delight to arrive at St Pancras Church at a time when there was already an ambition among the PCC. and the congregation, forthe church to open more and expand the church's contribution to community life in this parish. These months have, therefore. been the beginning of a period of change. which I hope has not been too difficult for too many people. Our church is already becoming a busier place during the week, which is good, but, as l often remind myself. business must never detract from Christlikeness. As we look backwards, we might ask ourselves. are we becoming a more welcoming and life-enhancing church; and are we becoming a church of people who worship. rejoice, struggle, laugh, weep. question, listen, support. pray and wondertogether. So. to a few highlights. Sunday Mornings: Our Sunday services moved to 11 am from the beginning of Advent. The choir now. mostly, sing downstairs among, rather than behind and above us. We are exploring congregational service settings so we can all participate in singing the Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus and Agnus Dei. while retaining some services with choral settings. As the liturgical year has progressed. we have been refreshing our liturgy and, every week, we now gather together around the altarforthe Eucharist. Thank you to Agnes for her assistance with welcoming
people on Sund8y mornings. to all members of the congregation who have read or lead intersessions during our services and forthose who assist in, often. unseen. roles with altar linen and flowers. I hope we might expand the numberwho are willing to participate, especiallywith the preparation and leading of intercessions. Sanctuary: Since Advent it has been a delight to include 'Sanctuary' in our weekly pattern of worship each Tuesday. These early evening sepdices have been brought to us and led by a team from St James's Piccadilly. They are calm, refLective and re-energising sepiices: with music (in several geDre); lay-led reflections, and 8 candlelit Eucharist, followed byfood and opportunityto chat. Ramembrance Day Civic Service: As usual, St Pancras church hosted the Camden civic service for Remembrance Sunday. During what is undoubtedly our busiest Sunday s8tvice of the year, it was appropriate to join with members of the 8rmed forces, civic leaders and leaders of other faith communities to rememberthose who seNed during wars and conflicts. particularly those who died or were injured. and to praytogetherfor peace. Advent and Lent Courses: Daytime courses were offere(J in both Advent and Lent. A small group met together during Advent for a course titled 'Life in the Comma, In Lent we sought to offer a hybrid course, 'Climate Justice & Discipleship, (partly on-line, hosted by the Diocese of London, and partly in-person). A small numberfollowed the on-line events, but there were too few to pursue the in-person discussions. Christmas and Easter: Both these major festivals have provided highlights. At Christmas- when I was warned that London empties and that many regular attendees would be away visiting relatives - w6 welcomed sixty-two to midnight communion and one hundred and nineteen on Christmas Morning. Easter was notable for the Good Friday ecumenical walk of witness (nine out of thirty-six participants were from St P8ncras); the eleven plus one new born revived the 7am Easter Morning Eucharist held in the church garden; and the sixty-seven who gathered for the 11 am Easter Eucharist. at which the choir sang Mozart's 'Sparrow Mass,. Muslc: A special mention is appropriate for Dr. Christopher Batchelor, who retired in March 2025 after 37 years as director of music here at St Pancras. Chris, contribution to the life and worship of this church. and the wider London choral scene, is incalculable. I record our
thanks to Chris forthis and my own thanks to Chris for his welcome. assistance and friendship duringthe few months that we worked alongside each other. We will remember fondly. the glorious valedictory evensong and reception for Chris, which was held on 23 March 2025. It is. I believe. right for the church and the PCC to take time to pause and reflect on how best. after Chris. retirement, to continue to build an attractive and vibrant musical offeringto enhance the worship here. This WILI be one of the tasks forthe new PCC in the immediate months afterthe 2025 APCM. In the interim we are thankfulforthe energy and musicality of David Ho-yi Chan. who has been providing guidance in respect of our choral music, rehearsing and conducting our singers, playingthe organ(s) on Sundays and occasionally composing new works. David has kindly agreed to do this until the end of September this year. Schools: Overthe Last eight months we have welcomed visits of children from three local primary schools. These visits have included opportunities for children to learn about the church building, th8 liturgical life of this church and the Christi8n faith. Revd Sarah and I have e8ch been leading assemblies forthe children of St Mary and St Pancras Church of England Primary SchooL and we have weLcomed the children and staff to a special seNice forthem in church, as well as to our lunchtime Christmas 'carols for all,. Students: With university buildings and halls of residence in the parish it has been lovelyto welcome a few students to our seniices (on Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays). We are thankfulfortheir willingness to participate in services. and we recently enjoyed a relaxed pizza-night together. Conferences and speaking events: Under the lead of Revd Sarah, St Pancras Church has recently (10 May) hosted the 2025 'Women's Voices. conference, an ecumenical conference for women in ministryfrom all denominations: clergy. lay ministers, ordinands. and women exploringtheir calling. Hosted on the day by Revd Lucy and Revd Sarah, over eighty women attended from across the country with principal speakers beingthe Rt Revd and Rt Hon Dame Sarah Mullally, Bishop of London, Revd Dr Liz Shercliff. Chine McDonald, Dr Karen O'Donnell, Revd Dr Mariama Ifode-Blease and Revd DrAyla Lepine.
Having hosted the SCM student day-conference last June, we are preparing for their return visit next month. We are also preparingto host the annu8l lecture of the London Churches Refugee Fund. also in June. Concerts: Since Januarywe have been trialling the reintroduction of concerts. These are continuingto take place every Tuesday and Thursday lunchtimes between 1.10pm and 2pm. These are proving to be popular (the average audience is about thirty people) and there are now about one hundred people on our mailing lists. We are hoping to continue to grow the lunchtime audiences. Regular early evening concerts proved to be less popular, so this run of concerts was stopped at Easter. In addition, we have hosted several larger concerts, with notable events being: Handel's 'Mesiah' performed by CORO London Chamber Choir and orchestra: 'Guitar greats unite in a tribute to William Lovelady,: and 'Upon Your Heart- A Passiontide Concert. by choral scholars of St James's Piccadilly. The Crypt: l am thankful to Anne, who as continued to manage the Crypt Gallery and to fill it with a remarkable range of exhibits from different artists. During the year. we have also fitted in re-wiringthe crypt and refreshing its lighting. Thanks to Stuart, our head of estates, for overseeingthis (and other estates work). Street Food Market: We have changed and expanded the food offering behind our south garden with the recent opening of 8 Street Food Market. The two semi-permanent food caravans have been replaced with. currently, four pop-up Style food stalls. Behind the scenes: l am so gratefulto Miriam for herwork in the office as our church administrator. Many of our activities would grind to a halt were it notfor her efficiency. Our team however is growing and changing. Shortly before l arrived. Stuart was appointed as head of estates (part-time. provided through our partnership with St James's Piccadilly. Also. through that partnership. we are currently in the process of appointing a new part-time finance assistant. We have been fortunate to have the assistance of a part-time cleaner and three part-time caretakers. However, we are currently implementing a change from employing caretakers to employing full-time vergers. This will allow the church to benefit from vergers, far broader role.. behind the scenes and welcomingthe public and being integrated into the liturgical life of the church. We are hoping to extend the opening hours of the church and establish 8 new pattern to Ouf week during Summer 2025.
Duringthe last few months, we have begun the process of refreshing our communications. We have launched our newwebsite, enhanced our abilityto record in and livestream from the church and we are taking steps to refresh our presence on social media. Safeguarding: The church works closely with the diocesan safeguarding advisor and, against ever developing safeguarding guidance, we ale workingto ensure that all staff and volunteers are up to date with appropriate safeguarding checks and training. I particularly want to thank Dorothy for her service as our safeguarding off icer and forthe wisdom she brought to that role. Llnkwlth St James's Piccadilly: the link between our church and St James's started well before l arrived. I have already reported, above. on a number of aspects of church life where the partnership is benefitingthe life of St Pancras Church. There is more to this, though. than hostingjoint events and sharing staff expertise. It has been lovely to hear of friendships developing across the churches, congregations and last weekend, as we celebrated our patronalfestival, itwas a delightto welcome about tifty people from St James's 8nd to share lunch together here beforejoining together for evensong. Conclusion So, there is much. and many people, to be thankful for as we look back and look forward. I want to end with by thankingtwo other people who are stepping back from long held roles. To Duncan, who is stepping down as a church warden after long service, and to Dorothywho is handing overthe role safeguarding officer again after years of service, 'thank you..

Currently the Church receives income from its services, charitable activitie and letting out its premises. TheT¢ are expenses pertaining to thcsc activities and the net in¢ome is tsken into the General Purpos¢s Fund. It has b¢¢n considered that a r¢asonable amount to be held in the General Purpo$ Fund is at least £40,000, whith equates approximately to four months of Gen¢ral Fund expenditure on church activiti¢% and meets Charity Commission recommendations. Free treserves as defined by the Charity Commission amounted to £126,607 at the Balance Sheet date. The PCC continues to keep free serves in line with the stated policy.
Results for the Year Net movement in funds for the year amounted to £58,028.
