The section of each Sunday service encompassing bible readings, sermons and prayers are live streamed to Facebook and YouTube and uploaded onto our website at https://www.stjohnsfolkestone.org/ .
We share Holy Communion on the second and fifth Sunday(s) of the month.

## **St. John’s Church – Folkestone**
## **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:**
- Napier Barracks outreach - we are now part of the Welcome Churches network offering support and sanctuary to Asylum seekers and refugees.
- St. John’s Church continued to engage in and support the Rainbow Centre’s Winter Shelter.
- An Alpha Course was attended with low numbers in attendance
- Hope Explored a short three week course based in Luke’s gospel
## (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.

## (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.

## **Financial Review**
Total income for the year of £190,382 was £51,653 more than last year (2021: £138,729), see Note 2. The special appeal for a new heating system, together with legacies and grant income made up most of the difference.

The full financial statements accompany this report.

At 31 December 2022 free reserves stood at £56,777 (2021: £47,726) or 4.12 months of working capital (2021: 4.09 months).

## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- 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 in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees 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.

## **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:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145 (5) (b) of the 2011 Act); and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
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
- 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.

Funds designated for a particular use by the PCC are also unrestricted. The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members.
## **c) Incoming Resources**
## _**Voluntary income and capital sources**_
Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving receivable under covenant is recognised only when received. Income tax recoverable on gift aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised. Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement and the amount due. Funds raised by fetes, garden parties and other similar events are accounted for gross. Sale of books and magazines from the church bookstall are accounted for gross. _**Other ordinary income**_ Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due.
## _**Income from investments**_
Dividends and interest are accounted for when receivable.
## **d) Resources used**
## _**Activities directly relating to the work of the Church**_

Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by Section 10 (2) (a) of the Charities Act 2011.
No value is placed on movable furnishings held by the churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal since the PCC considers this to be inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the SOFA and separately disclosed.
