Annual Report

For the year ended 31 December 2022

2022 OVERVIEW

(1) New Church Warden: 2022 saw a new Church Warden as Peter Edwards completed his tenure. Vani Nadarajah was appointed Warden, to serve alongside Linda Grieve.

(2) New Treasurer: Peter Edwards succeeded Alex Finlow as Treasurer. Peter has been instrumental in transferring regular Church giving to the Parish Giving Scheme, while establishing new digital payment options for the congregation.

(3) The Church Administrator role was increased to 27 hours per week and split out as a job share. Becky Yan and Heather Goodall (started 2023) were appointed as Church Administrators to this new position. They were recruited and inducted in accordance with Safer Recruitment protocols. Heather’s main focus is to oversee the end-to-end Hall Hire process, which grew significantly in 2022.

(4) Safer Recruitment process has been adopted for all new St. John’s Church Staff and volunteers.

(5) House groups continue to meet for fellowship either physically or virtually. Small groups continue to play a pivotal role in the health and life of St. John’s Church. 74 people in the church family attended fortnightly house groups in various locations around the parish. The whole-church curriculum continued, with studies in Philippians, Jonah and Pete Greig’s Prayer Course.

(6) Outreach:

(7) Mission:

The PCC agreed to target the annual mission giving at 10% of income. The Mission Partner Group continued to meet to pray for our mission partners, raise awareness of God’s mission in the world among the church family and allocate financial resources.

Annual Report

For the year ended 31 December 2022

Those supported by the Mission Partner Group include:

(8) Young people & Children:

Sunday Fun: We have had new members joining and up to 17 children joining us on a Sunday. The children now receive teaching in their appropriate age groups. Numbers fluctuate and some of our families have experienced some difficulties over the past year but the children have been enjoying learning about Jesus and understanding how much he loves them.

Way2Go!: We had 16 children originally but numbers have lessened in recent weeks, with schools running their own after-school clubs. The children remember the teaching from week to week and the club has reached children who do not usually come to St John’s.

715: Our Youth club now has 9 youths who have attended quite regularly. It is great to not only play mad games together but also read and discuss the Bible.

All Together Now: Our service on the first Sunday of each month has included puppets, water pistols and balloons, all used to spread the good news!

Churches Together in Folkestone Events: We had 116 children at the Light Party, including 11 from St John’s. The Youth Christmas Party was well-attended and 6 of our youths came along for games, a Bible message, quiz and pizza.

A Right Royal Praise Party: Families came together to celebrate the Queen’s 70 years on the throne. We had a great time making castles, singing, eating and playing games together. We thought about how the Queen served God and the people faithfully for so many years.

Tree Decorating Party: 34 children attended, many of whom are on the fringes of St John’s. All had a great time, making crafts, decorating the tree, playing games, eating and learning about the real meaning of Christmas.

(9) Older Person’s Work:

Primetime, met weekly on Wednesday afternoons. Primetime offers a variety of activities, talks and entertainment for the older members of the Church family. This group forms part of our outreach strategy to this community.

Fabric Report

The Fabric Team consists of Steve Hyde (Chair from May 22), Adam Denley (Vicar), Linda Grieve (Warden), Vani Nadarajah (Warden), Peter Edwards (Treasurer), George Au, Bill Wright and Howard Holt. Acknowledgement must also be given to the many people who have contributed to the many jobs carried out during the year to keep the church looking good.

Church Hall

General maintenance such as replacement light bulbs, dripping taps, etc has been on-going throughout the year. In addition, we added a new handrail to the entrance ramp on the right hand side.

The fire exit stairs have been waterproofed, the handrail painted (thanks to Ben McCloud) and grab handles added at the top.

A fully integrated fire alarm system was added in March 2022.

The foyer and stairs have been painted (thanks to numerous helpers including some Iranian friends) and new flooring laid on the stairs.

A Deanery youth grant was obtained and this was used to enhance the lighting and provide a new TV in the lounge area, new speakers and a new cupboard for the AV kit downstairs.

A video doorbell has been installed for contacting the staff office.

A broken manhole cover has been replaced outside.

Church Building

The significant item was repairing the roof damage after storm Eunice. This was a fully funded insurance claim and the work is now complete. Also included with the slate replacement was the clearing of the high level guttering.

Smartwater signs have been placed on the metal work to deter theft.

Inside the church, the mission notice boards have been moved to the coffee area to encourage more people to read the mission news.

St. John’s Church – Folkestone

Annual Report

For the year ended 31 December 2022

A full consultation on heating options was undertaken and professional advice sought. The best value in terms of renewal/replacement costs and running costs was to repair 2 faulty heaters and replace 2 defunct heaters. This has been completed and the heating is now back up to full power. Additional infrared heaters and a door air curtain are priced and awaiting a faculty prior to installation at the west end (rear) of the church.

The team has also started looking at re-ordering the church in consultation with the Architect and Diocesan Advisory Committee. Plans are being developed for the following: removal of pews to create an open, flexible space; addition of a kitchen and café area; an accessible toilet; more space for the musicians and singers; lighting; flooring; vestry; creche and storage areas.

126 Lucy Avenue

We changed the letting agent for this property to Martin & Co. Folkestone at the end of 2022 and plans for an annual rent increase are in progress.

Church Grounds

Tree and Shrub management.

The trees and shrubs were cut back and the area cleared. The banks were cleared by a company who now maintains the grounds monthly.

The garden beds will continue to be maintained by our volunteer Garden Group.

A Fairy Garden has been added and continues to be developed. This is available for the community to enjoy.

Grace Taylor Hall

No major works have been undertaken during the year to GTH and none are immediately necessary during 2023.

The Future

Much time has been spent by our new vicar, the leadership team, and the PCC in imagining a refurbished and repurposed St John’s Church building. Members of the Diocesan Advisory Committee have visited the church to help this process. There is much being considered – removal of pews, new lighting, a new kitchen/café area, new sound and AV desk, new heating, re-decorations and more.

We are creatively thinking about investing in our Youth work and we have had conversations with Ben Hatfield from the diocese about a grant for a full-time youth worker.

Given increased hall hire activity in 2022, we plan to scope the need for a part-time Caretaker.

St. John’s Church – Folkestone Annual Report For the year ended 31 December 2022

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Parochial Church Council For the year ended 31 December 2022

This report on the financial statements of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are set out on pages 8 to 15, is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 (‘the Regulations’) and Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’).

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees & Examiner

As members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. You consider that the audit requirement of the Regulations and section 144(2) of the 2011 Act does not apply and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the PCC, and the PCC Trustees, as a body, for my work, for this report or for the opinions I have formed.

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section s.145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act and to be found in the Church Guidance , 2006 edition, issued by the Finance Division of the Archbishop’s Council. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements  to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act, and

  2. to prepare accounts, which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the 2011 Act and the Regulations have not been met; or

2. to which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
