Objectives and activities
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is the body which, with the incumbent, steers the life of the church and its mission, witness and service in the Parish. It supports the incumbent, and the Churchwardens in promoting the Church of England in the Parish of Friern Barnet and in a wider field the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelic, social and ecumenical. It is a charitable trust and PCC members are charitable trustees. All provisions of charity law apply to their corporate responsibilities, financial management and decision making.
It also has the responsibility for overseeing the maintenance of the Church buildings of St James in Friern Barnet Lane — which has been licenced for occupation by the Greek Orthodox Community of St Katherine, Barnet since 2009 — and for the proper stewardship of the financial and other resources of the Church.
The Annual Report, in addition to presenting the annual accounts to the wider Parish provides the means by which the PCC and Wardens can report on the way they have discharged their responsibilities to the Charity Commission, the Church of England and to the parishioners.
Mindful of their responsibilities and obligations members of the PCC and Wardens completed Safeguarding training and are in the process of expanding their policy documents covering finance, safeguarding and the use of the church and Parish Centre premises.
1. Ministry and Worship
During the course of 2024 80 services of various sorts were held in St John’s — 62 Eucharist services (sung, solemn and all age), 6 services for our local church school and 12 special services/occasional offices, including funerals and memorial services.
Rev. Dagmar continued to invest time in establishing connections with parishioners, while exploring ways in which St John’s Church can become more inclusive and embracing of the wider Friern Barnet Community. St John’s adopted an Inclusive Church Statement in 2022 and signed up to the Inclusive Church Network in 2023.
Live streaming of the 10am Sunday service has continued.
Elvin, our Sacristan, continues to encourage our young and enthusiastic team of servers to regularly assist at our Sunday worship.
At the end of June St John’s welcomed the new Bishop of Edmonton, Dr Anderson Jeremiah to officiate at a confirmation service for 6 young people and 4 adults.
2. The Year in Brief
The parish electoral roll was presented with a total of 196 parishioners during the APCM on 19" May 2024.
Attendance at the weekly Sunday services continued to gradually increase during 2024 - the average number of people attending church in person on a usual Sunday rose to 76 (59 over 16yrs and 17 under 16yrs). Junior Church was held regularly twice each month, and a monthly All Age Eucharist was held, usually on the last Sunday of the month. The number of children attending Junior Church significantly increased over the course of the year as did attendance at the AAE where we have a band led by 5 of our older children and teenagers.
4
Two of the All Age Parish Worship services were held as the Service of the Word for all ages following CofE guidelines. On both occasions a BCP Eucharist was held earlier in the morning.
The Lent discussion course was based Miranda Threlfall-Holmes book “How to Eat Bread — 21 Nourishing Ways to Read the Bible.”
At their meeting in July, following a long discussion about the Archdeacon’s letter to the Parish concerning the Diocesan deficit, and the Parish’s own financial challenges, the PCC felt unable to increase its contribution to the Parish Common Fund. It therefore resolved to keep its contribution to £83,600, thereby meeting 84% of the requested amount.
Fund raising was combined with social occasions and a Quiz Night was held in March, a Summer Concert was held in June and a Family Games Night was held in October. The Rector also held a late summer Garden Party at the Rectory. Individuals were encouraged to hold their own fund-raising events to boost Parish Finances Also at various points during the year food collections were held for the St Paul's New Southgate Food bank.
The monthly Drop in Café in St John’s on Saturday mornings has continued. It is held on the first Saturday of the month, after the Church cleaning session, but has not been well supported. We will continue with this initiative and are hopeful that interest will improve in the summer months when, weather permitting, we can move tables outside and we can be a more visible presence outside the Church building.
A Beer and Carols evening was held as part of the Parish Christmas celebrations. St John’s School held a Christingle Service in the Church and the Crib Service on Christmas Eve raised funds for the Children’s Society. Once again flyers outlining the Christmas Services at St John's were posted to houses in the roads and streets adjacent to the church.
Music and Choir
Music remains an important part of the worship at St John’s and the choir continues to play a crucial role in supporting the services. After 11 years as our Music Director, Dr Kelvin Thomson stood down, but we are delighted that he continues to play two or three times a month as one of our regular organists/pianists. Our Assistant Director of Music, Mrs Vivienne Bellos MBE, was appointed as our Director of Music in May and Viv has brought her wealth of experience running and leading choirs to encourage and grow the Choir. She has plans for a number of choral events in 2025, and the Autumn saw the choir lead a special Choral Evensong on Remembrance Sunday.
The Youth Band, which was formed in 2023, has also grown in numbers and confidence. They successfully applied to the Friern Barnet Educational Trust for a grant to purchase musical instruments and they are taking a greater role in accompanying the hymns at the monthly All Age Eucharist. A second successful application was made to The Friern Barnet Educational Trust to fund an Organ Scholar, and it is hoped that the scholarship programme will commence in 2025.
Community and Outreach
Tea and Coffee after the Sunday morning service continues to enable members of the congregation to catch up and chat with each other and to welcome new members and guests.
The twice monthly Lunch Club, which provides us with an opportunity to engage with the wider community of Friern Barnet, goes from strength to strength. The Drop in Café in the church
5
on the first Saturday of the month will hopefully prove as popular and enable us to welcome even more people into St John's.
During term time a lively Parish Playgroup meets in the Parish Centre once a week as well as a local Youth Group on a Friday evening. Indeed, the Parish Centre Halls are used by various community groups and the church building itself provides a popular concert venue for local choral groups and orchestras. The Parish Centre was hired by the council as a Polling Station during the General Election.
St John's School
We value our close relationship with St John’s primary school and hope that this will continue to flourish and grow stronger in the years ahead. Rev. Dagmar leads weekly assemblies in school and occasional services in church each term. We are keen to strengthen the links between the Church and the School and are delighted that children from Years 3 and 6 regularly help at both the Parish Playgroup and the Lunch Club. We hope to find other ways to encourage a greater participation in church life.
Church Building & Parish Centre
Following completion of the lower church roofs and parish centre flat roof repairs in 2023, the first few months of the year were taken up with overseeing the necessary comprehensive refurbishment of 2 Hatley Close. The focus of fabric for the rest of 2024 was maintenance, while taking stock of finances and prioritising the use of funds.
Asummary of the maintenance works included the following:
-
. Gardening around the church grounds across the year plus cutting down 3 lime trees.
-
° Organ blower and humidifier inspections (twice a year).
-
: Annual fire extinguisher inspection.
-
. Maintenance and inspection of the parish centre alarm (three times a year).
-
. Window and gutter cleaning for the parish centre.
-
. Piano and organ tuning.
The Hatley Close property went back on the market before the end of summer at an increased rental value to recover some of the investment put into it during renovations.
The installation of a new cooker, electrical work, such as replacement of some lighting and urgent plumbing work in the toilets, as well as repairs to the front and rear doors, were carried out to support ongoing use of the Parish Centre as a key source of revenue for the church.
The quinquennial inspection was carried out by church architect (now retired) in June in line with the policy of an inspection every 5 years.
Heating at St John’s proved to be concern in 2024 with one of the two boilers offline for the year, while we sought expertise on how best to address the ongoing issues with the same boiler, as well as obtain a second quote for repairs to the boiler.
6
The prioritisation of some electrical work in 2025 is necessary to use up a diocese grant / loan and to align with some requirements from the insurance company following a risk survey done last quarter of 2024.
Consideration is being given to how the PCC might better use the space at St John’s for greater impact on the community, while aligning with environment friendly initiatives from the diocese... something to be explored in 2025.
Frances Jones came back onto the Fabric Committee to support the wardens and rector with some of the essential activities for urgent repairs and ongoing maintenance to the church fabric. We continue to seek for additional support to spread the load and free up the warden’s team for other community outreach tasks.
We are grateful for all that has been achieved in 2024, however, there is much work to be done in 2025,
3. Financial Review
As in previous years the Parish Accounts and Financial Statements have been produced on a Receipts and Payments basis (R&P).
We remain indebted to Andy Beal who, despite having moved to Kent in December 2020, remains our Treasurer. His work pulling together the Parish Accounts is much appreciated.
Receipts from planned giving was down in comparison with 2023 and there was also a slight decrease in cash collections at our weekly services, however there were a number of one-off receipts which more than counterbalanced the position.
Our major source of income comes from letting Parish Properties, in particular 2 Hatley Close and St James’ Church. This year we were hit not only with the substantial expense of refurbishment work at Hatley Close, but also the consequent fall in the income from rent whilst the works were carried out. The cost of heating and lighting both the Parish Centre and St John’s Church continued to rise and receipts from letting both properties was slightly down on the previous year. We predicted a Budget deficit in 2024 and indeed this was the case. The situation would have been much worse however, but for the unexpected and generous bequest which the Parish received from John Philpot's Estate — for which we are extremely grateful.
The works at Hatley Close also meant that we were unable to complete the planned electrical upgrades required in the Church and Parish Centre, for which we had applied to the London Diocesan Fund (LDF) for a grant/loan to assist with payment. £24,259 was drawn down in 2023 to assist with the payment for the South side roof works (£12,129.50 in the form of a grant and £12,129.50 in the form of a loan). A balance of £15, 741 remains available to cover part of the electrical works (again in the form of a matching loan and grant). We hope to complete these works and draw down the balance in 2025, after which we will need to begin to repay the loan portion to the Diocese at the rate of £800 per month. The Parish remails grateful to the LDF for their generous assistance.
The Parish’s stretched financial position meant that we were unable to recruit a Parish Administrator which meant that the Rector and Wardens spent too much time dealing with administration.

4. Reserves Policy
Cash flow difficulties challenged the PCC's policy of maintaining a balance of around £35,000 of unrestricted funds - the equivalent of around three months operating costs.
The PCC maintained its policy to set aside funds for the future maintenance of its properties. The Dining Room at the Rectory was redecorated as part of an ongoing programme of maintenance. The most significant area of expenditure was at the Parish property in Hatley Close where renovation and redecoration needed to be carried out before the property could be relet. These significant works were completed in the summer and a new tenant moved in August. Whilst it will take quite a few months to recover from both the cost of the works done and the rental void whilst the works took place, we now enjoy an increased rent and peace of mind that the property is being well maintained and managed.
Once again, the Rector’s Discretionary Fund was used little in the year, so no top up was required.
Parish funds are held by CAF Bank in a current account (CAF Cash) and in a linked deposit account (CAF Gold). Other monies are held on deposit with CCLA in the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund and CBF Income Shares.
5. Structure, Governance and Management
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and where appropriate to stand for election to the PCC at the APCM. The PCC normally meets once every two months with the Standing Committee meeting between PCC meetings to conduct essential business as and when necessary.
In previous years, in addition to the Standing Committee, the Parish had a Fabric Committee attending to the stewardship of all church buildings and their maintenance, a Social Committee to attended to matters which supported and promoted the social life of the Parish, a Fund Raising Committee to assist with raising money to support both Charity and Parish projects and a Parish Centre Management Committee looking after the day-to-day management of the Parish Centre, its maintenance, upkeep and the management of its external hires. Whilst the committees themselves have all but vanished the work they carried out has been left in the hands of the Warden's Team and one or two others, to whom we are very grateful. The PCC will therefore commence an initiative to lead various Teams in 2025 and to recruit members to help support these vital aspects of Parish life.
Governance
The PCC is governed by two pieces of Church of England legislation:
-
e The Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 as amended (“the 1956 Measure”); and
-
e The Parish Governance Model Rules (Part 9) contained in the Church Representation and Ministers Measure 2019, Church Representation Rules 2022.
Safeguarding
The PCC confirms that it has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).
8
Public Benefit
The Trustees (PCC members) confirm that in accordance with Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011, they have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning their future activities.

Related party transactions
The PCC members are considered the key management personnel of the church. No remuneration was paid directly to key management personnel, although the church contributes to the diocesan fund and the incumbent, who has overall responsibility for promoting the whole mission of the church, is remunerated directly by the Diocese. Income from donations includes £11,685 (2023 £11,459) received from PCC members.
