The Annual Report and Finances 2025 St George’s Church Kemp Town It seems in many ways, that in 2025 things were getting better. The congregation was growing steadily but surely. The take up of rooms in our community centre was increasing. The café was really busy not only with groups using our community centre, but also with local people. 200[th] Anniversary Celebrations The Heritage Lottery Fund gave us a grant to: repaint and repair the inside of our buildings; to clean the floor; and improve our ability to stream events from church. Together with donations from other organisations this came close to £250,000. (It might also be noted that we managed to get another grant to repair the chairs in our church, get new chairs for the community centre, and tables and chairs for the café – around £20,000) One of the major decisions was to keep the buildings open during the works, rather than meeting as a church in the community centre or another building. This was important because people could see for themselves what was happening, and feel that they were part of that. It was difficult because of logistics, and of course people didn’t always like the smell of paint. It was all necessary because any building which is well used will show signs of wear and tear. Without a doubt future generations will have to look at similar works – it is all part of being a well-loved and well used asset within our community. But as we all know buildings are important, but it is what happens inside them that encourages organisations and individuals to give such generous financial support. To celebrate this we did three things: we held three free concerts with those who rehearse or perform at the church. We had an LGBTQI+ concert with local choirs taking part; a Classical concert with local classical choirs and instrumental groups taking part; and a concert organised by Melting Vinyl representing more popular music communities. Music is so good at bringing people together. On these occasions they were successful with full houses. It was also good to see local musical groups coming together and sharing ideas and plans for the future. We also hosted an open day. This allowed groups who use our Community Centre to join the fun. We had stalls from groups showing what they do. Performances from those who practice in our community centre, for instance with the Tudor Martial Arts Group and Open Space Dance. We had history talks and a bus trip around those buildings who have been and still are connected with St George’s. This was all topped off with a celebration and thanksgiving service in our church – which I hope you all enjoyed and remember. In all of this thanks go out: to our architect Julian Vallis, who gave so much in terms of time and effort. To the volunteers who helped to organise the events; and to those who helped with the catering for each occasion. And of course, To The Lottery Heritage Fund who helped with finance and who were so encouraging of our activities. A wonderful, and enjoyable and worthwhile 200[th] anniversary celebration. A visit from HRH the Duke of Gloucester In recognition of the work which we are doing we also received a visit from His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester. The Duke came to visit our site, meet the user groups, and to listen to some of our thoughts on community and community work. A grateful thanks to The Lord Lieutenant and his team for helping with the visit. ## Greetings and thanks to father James We also had Father James joining us, and offering to help with services and with Bible study and prayer groups. Fr James has been a great help and support to us at St George’s and his continued help is appreciated. (And of course that thanks would not be complete without thanking Michael and of course Lilly). ## St Mark’s School St Mark’s (our church school) said “goodbye” to the headteacher Jane Fendley. So a big Thank You to Jane. We gave her a small token of our appreciation for several years of work, during which she faced several Ofsted inspections which led to improvements in the school. ## Latest TV We also gained Latest TV who took up a place in the Community centre. Latest TV is one of the many national community Television stations which reports on, encourages and supports local organisations and individuals. They allow the work which is being done by so many people to become better known across our area and beyond. They have certainly helped to tell people about our church and services, and we have provided several interviews about the work we are undertaking. ## Training We also had training to help with the work we do: I was asked to undertake training so that I could continue to hear confession. The Diocese is trying to make sure that people taking confession know what is best practice, and so they brought us together to look at this. Fr Nick took the course that I attended. I am please to say that it was agreed that I could continue to work with individuals who want confession and spiritual direction. For the whole parish, Louise was able to arrange for CRP training. It has been a long time since we had the defibrillator installed in the church. During this time new procedures and advice have evolved. The training took place after a Sunday service, and I am please to say was well attended. Just to be clear, we have used the machine more than once at the church. ## Fun Times There have also been some fun times over the year. One very memorable event was when Open space came to help us celebrate at our Harvest festival. Trey managed to get so many of us up and dancing as a part of the service. ## Mission and Investment This year we looked at Mission and how we could best invest our money to promote mission: we looked at the way in which we were telling people about the Gospel and what we are doing in our church. It was clear that we needed to continue with traditional ways of communicating in terms of both talking to people and also producing posters and written material. However, there was a whole world which is developing around us in the realms of social media. None of us felt up to dealing with this, but we were able to contact Eliza Skelton who now looks after face book, Instagram, our web-pages amongst other things. If we are to maintain outreach then this is essential work, so our thanks to Eliza for the work she is doing. We also employed Stuart as our organist. It is good to have a good musical input to our services, and I think we can all see the value of that. Stuart has also agreed to look at different ways of growing our choir. This may include recruitment sessions, and community singing events. We also looked at employing a second member of staff for the café. We have reached that transitional period where the work is too much for one person, but not quite enough to pay for a second member of staff. We are subsidising the second member of staff, whilst at the same time making sure we are addressing ways in which we might grow the café. Amongst the work which we are looking at is the use of volunteers, and advertising. We are monitoring this closely and will report back in 2026. Why is this important? Well it enables us to keep the church building open in the weekdays. As vicar I am amazed at the number of people who take the opportunity of talking about their lives and their faith. The prayer board gets a lot of use too. Needless to say it is also a great boon for building community both in the church and the community centre. We aim to have a safe and inclusive space for the people of Kemp Town and beyond to meet and socialize. ## A Few Thank Yous Thanks to all those who help to run our services – a well appreciated work. Our Thanks go out to Paul who is our Community Centre Manager. Under his calm and helpful leadership the number of people using the centre is growing. Our thanks also go out to Sandro and Jacob in the café for all the work which they undertake. The Concerts in the church are also bringing in a good number of performers. It was difficult after Covid and for a time people were nervous about investing in events. It appears that we are over that hurdle, and more organizations are looking for venues to put on concerts. We have lots of different groups coming to us, but it would be wrong not to give our thanks to Anna who is both a member of our congregation and who also helps us when we are thinking about concerts. The Gardens have a good group of volunteers: Irene in the Bee Friendly Garden and Maria and Wiliam in the main church gardens. Without this help we would be in a pickle. So a big “thank You” to all those who are a part of the gardening team. Again it has been good to have warm and friendly connections with those who live and work around us. The Kemp Town Club, Brighton College, and the Kemp Town Collective traders. The work that they do, and the work we undertake with them is growing and is making a difference for our community. Into the Heavenly Kingdom During the year we lost several members of our congregation, among them Brenda Page, Margaret Doherty and Tony and Lisken Jellings. They all gave a lot to St George’s and we are thankful for it. We continue to pray for them, and hope one day to be with them in the heavenly kingdom. A few facts and fgures: We had one wedding at St George’s in 2025. Nine lessons and Carols service, which was co-hosted with our church, the hospital and the friends of the hospital, greeted 465 people The St Mark’s school carol service hosted 300 people Christingle hosted 280 people Midnight Mass hosted 92 people Christmas Day hosted 31 people Easter Day hosted 65 people. The average Sunday attendance was around 30 people, but growing slowly. We gave over £4000 in charitable giving including donations to: Voices in Exile Homelessness in Sussex Brighton Table Tennis Club Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus Friends of Craven Vale Open Space Resound St George’s Café Speak Out Bee Friendly Garden Rainbow Chorus Switchboard Kemp Town Society We also had a table at the back of the church to support the Food Bank based around Craven vale. We had 6 regular meetings of the PCC Members of the PCC were: Rev Dr Andrew Manson-Brailsford (Chair) Ms Sue Clough (Churchwarden) Mr Geoff Todd-Ware (Churchwarden) Ms Margaret Ellis (PCC Secretary) Mr Alan Cooke Ms Anna Moulson Mr Arthur Tallon Ms Moira Sofaer Ms Hilda Ruth Beaumont Mr Paul Simmons Mr Sandro Da Mota Ms Wendy Burdett Mr Richard Wormald My thanks to all those who have worked hard for St George’s At the end of 2025 there were 36 on the Electoral roll. The financial details of the parish can be found within the attached accounts: St George’s Church, St George’s Community Centre, and St George’s Café each have their own accounts so that we can see how well each part of our organisation is doing. There is then an amalgamated set of accounts, which includes the figures from the three preceding accounts, and which are presented in a way that the Charity Commission would wish to see them. My thanks to all those who support St George’s Church. Those who attend services and support worship. Those who give money and time to support their church. Help and support are much appreciated.
