The PCC Independent Examiner is: Community Action, Sutton The PCC is a Registered Charity: Charity Number 1134780 The PCC Bankers are: Barclays Bank, Sutton

Structure, Governance and Management

The Cheam Team is part of the Diocese of Southwark within the Church of England. The parish is in the Sutton Deanery, within the Archdeaconry of Reigate and the Croydon Episcopal Area.

Role of the Parochial Church Council

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is the decision-making and recognised statutory body of the Cheam Team Ministry. The PCC is a registered charity (number 1134780) and all members are trustees of the charity.

Under Church Representation Rules, the combined Annual Accounts are presented by the PCC. Individual church accounts have previously been passed by the DCCs.

Members of the PCC are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting in accordance with the Church Representation Rules.

3

Organisation

Although the PCC is the main statutory body, some business, in particular local issues, is delegated to the three District Church Councils (DCCs), which meet between full meetings of the PCC.

Members of the DCCs are elected by individual churches in accordance with the Church Representation rules.

Objectives, Activities, Achievements and Performance

The primary objective of the Cheam Team Ministry is to promote the Christian beliefs and practices of the Church of England by engaging in relevant activities. The Parochial Church Council has the responsibility of co-operating with the Team Rector and Team Vicars, in promoting the whole mission of the church. This includes the provision of:

The PCC also has the maintenance responsibilities for the Parish’s property – church buildings, halls, and any other property. The PCC is required to keep these buildings in good repair to facilitate the work of the parish.

Risk Management

Health & Safety Management Systems are in place in all three churches along with Ecclesiastical Insurance Policy and Procedures and following their recommendations along with Diocesan Procedures in Safeguarding.

Safeguarding and Safer Recruitment

Working to provide a safe environment and culture for all within our parish should always be a priority. The PCC re-adopted its Safeguarding Policy in November 2022. We are committed to ensuring that all those in the parish who work with children and vulnerable adults are safely recruited and trained. This involves a suitable application process and undertaking the proper DBS checks. We are also committed to responding to any allegations and caring pastorally for those who may be victims/survivors of abuse or subject to allegations. Information about Safeguarding is visible in each of our churches and on our website.

Each church has its own designated Safeguarding Lead. These are Sarah Jones (Parish Safeguarding Officer, St Dunstan’s), Leanne Coombes (District Safeguarding Office, St Alban’s), and Graham Andrew (District Safeguarding Officer, St Oswald’s). The parish’s Safeguarding Committee consists of the Safeguarding Leads along with the Rector and Team Vicars. The Committee meets several times each year.

Worship and Other Activities – Nick

Worship in 2022 saw a gradual return to a more normal pattern following the impact of the pandemic throughout 2020 and 2021. Attendance gradually increased across all three churches. Although much improved, attendance was still short of where it was pre-Covid. We fully celebrated all the major festivals for the first time since 2019.

The main Sunday service at St Dunstan’s is the Parish Eucharist at 9.30am. This is supported by a successful, growing choir which places music at the heart of our worship. There is an ‘All Age’ Eucharist on the third Sunday of each month. Sunday School took place once a month until the summer, when the leader stepped away their role. The 8.00am service on Sunday mornings continues to follow the BCP liturgy and attracts a loyal congregation, as does the service on Wednesday mornings. St Dunstan’s hosted the parish’s Pentecost service in May.

Worship at St Alban’s is centred on the Family Eucharist at 10.45am on Sunday mornings. This service includes Sunday School and is supported by a small choir. The quiet, reflective ‘Sanctuary’ service takes place in the evening of the third Sunday of the month. St Alban’s hosted the parish’s Advent Carol Service on Advent Sunday, welcoming choristers from across the parish.

St Oswald's principal act of worship on Sunday is at 10.00am. This is mostly a Eucharist, although there is an occasional Service of the Word. The choir makes an important contribution to worship and Sunday School is available most weeks. St Oswald’s hosts a thriving Messy Church, alternating monthly events with Christ Church and St Philip’s, Worcester Park.

In addition, Holy Ground, an online community, gathers on Facebook Live for Night Prayer at 9.30pm each Tuesday. This brings together people not just from our churches, but also from much further afield.

Having been curtailed by the pandemic, activities restarted throughout the year. Our regular activities in 2022 included:

IGNITE

In the autumn of 2021, we began to wonder whether we could create an opportunity for the ‘prophets and visionaries’ across our churches, to come together and get their creative juices flowing.

In May 2022, we gathered together over 20 pioneering thinkers from across our churches. We offered an open invitation, but we also tapped some shoulders in the process. In that invitation, we asked people to come with us on a journey, bringing sparks of ideas, igniting them and working with others to bring to fruition our hopes and dreams for the local area. We met at Your Space Sutton, a local social enterprise and community garden.

5

At that first Ignite meeting, over 30 community-based ideas were generated, as we discussed the themes that were emerging. In the period that followed, we invited feedback from all our church communities, and we asked for help in sifting through these ideas and discerning our direction of travel. We met online, in person, on paper and via email to connect with as many people as possible. We established, early on, that key to our success would be partnership-working, effective communication and empowering and equipping as many people as possible.

Four priority areas emerged that we wanted to ‘ignite’:

Our Ignite volunteers got to work, and have achieved some real successes already, which include the following:

Our Ignite group of pioneering thinkers met again in October, and then for a third time in February, in the grounds of St Raphael’s Hospice. After several months of listening, we’ve found real and meaningful ways of loving and serving the people amidst whom we live. We are building community and working closely with cross-sector partners and so, we’re beginning to wonder what’s next for Ignite.

We are currently planning a celebration and next planning event for Pentecost, at St Alban’s, directly following the parish-wide service.

Churches Fabric Reports

St Alban’s – Ian Graystone

The broken window from a burglary in 2022 is still to be repaired as well as a small amount of plaster that has fallen from the Priest’s Vestry. However, the dislodged tiles on the roof are in the course of being replaced. The gutters have also been checked. The plans for the refurbishment of the Choir Vestry and the installation of a disabled toilet are ongoing.

St Oswald’s – Victoria Gray & Paul Thomas

Over the past year the church wardens have helped with the running of the church, including keeping the church in good repair and they have done and arranged these works: Archdeacons’ visitation re window in Lay Chapel. Still to be resolved.

Conifer in garden of No 49 Molesey Drive were lifting slabs rear of Hall. This was removed at owner’s expense.

Plastic chairs in Hall that were not fit for purpose were dismantled and recycled. Heater in Choir vestry replaced. Exit door in Hall was repaired. Extractor fan in Church toilet replaced. External lights outside church doors replaced. Hall toilet extractor fan replaced.

CES carried out a 5 yearly electrical report in readiness for Quinquennial visit.

7

St Dunstan’s Church – Jo McCandlish

Over the past year we have had several issues within the building with the major issue being the failure of the lighting control system within the church. Whilst a temporary fix was put in place by CES we are currently arranging to have the dimmer boards replaced to allow the lighting to be fully controlled as it was originally intended.

Smiths were called in to repair the clock to the church and this is now working correctly. The churchyard has now been closed and its upkeep has been passed to Sutton Council going forwards.

The church had a break in shortly after Christmas and whilst little was taken as the funds from the Christmas services had already been removed, they caused minor damage to collection boxes and to the office door which have subsequently been repaired.

We are currently looking at completing the requirements from the quinquennial to repaint the drains, downpipes and railings to the church.

We continue to work on the major building project proposed to our church building which would see access to the toilets put in from the church building, a new servery put into the church, the relocation of the font and the potential removal of some of the pews within the building. Discussions remain ongoing between the architect and various bodies on this potential change to our building which would be designed to make the building more flexible and allow it’s better use for the future. We are currently looking at getting quotes for this work and then looking at funding options.

Deanery Synod – Laura Drane

Lay representatives for 2022 were Graham Andrew, and Claire Winfield for St. Oswald’s, together with David and Laura Drane for St. Dunstan’s (plus one vacancy). The term for Deanery Synod representatives ends at the 2023 APCM and David and Laura are not seeking re-election this time. St. Alban’s also has vacancies for two representatives. Deanery Synod meetings in 2022 took place on 16th March, 7th July and 15th November. A report from each meeting is given to the next scheduled PCC and detailed Minutes are also produced by the Deanery Secretary. Below is a summary of the main topic discussed at each meeting.

Wednesday 16th March 2022 at Church of the Good Shepherd, Carshalton Beeches. What should a Deanery Synod be?

The Area Dean, together with Archdeacon, Revd Moira Astin, led a discussion around the following questions:

a) What makes a good meeting?

b) What is Deanery Synod for?

c) What, realistically, can we do as a Deanery?

Suggestions and comments were written up on the whiteboard.

As regards item (a), the general feeling was that meetings should be run to time, be focused, with clear objectives, and at the end decisions should have been made, and actions undertaken. There should be a sense of togetherness, and the ability to disagree well. People should be able to participate with openness and honesty.

As background to item (b), the Archdeacon shared some of the history of the Synod system, saying that it had been set up after the King became the supreme governor of the

8

Church, and Parliament became involved. It allows the lay members of the church to have a say rather that the clergy deciding everything. It is possible for a good idea at Deanery level to be passed up the chain until it becomes the law of the land. The Deanery Synod is the link between the diocese and individual parishes, and a good place to find out what is going on in other parishes, to share experience and good ideas, and to pray for each other with greater understanding.

Observations under (c) were that there are activities, such as Safeguarding training and Living in Love and Faith, which have been Deanery-wide, and there will be areas such as working with children and young people, welcoming refugees, outreach, and pastoral care where it would be good to pool ideas and share resources. The parishes within the Deanery are very diverse, so it is desirable for collaboration to develop naturally, and meetings should be about sharing and making connections. A resource directory of skills and experience has already been suggested and the Parish Profiles are useful in raising awareness of each other’s needs and allowing a more effective partnership in prayer. It would be important to raise awareness in the churches too, via reports to the PCC etc. It was felt that inviting speakers to talk about relevant topics was beneficial and members were asked which issues they might like to discuss.

Thursday 7th July 2022 at Church of the Good Shepherd, Carshalton Beeches Presentation by Sutton Community Works, featuring the Community Foodshop, (www. suttoncommunityworks.org/community-foodshop).

For a small weekly fee members can choose from items of non-perishable, and chilled and frozen food, providing a reduction on the weekly shopping bill for those struggling on a low income. The aim is for residents also to access support from other agencies such as Citizens Advice, Sutton Housing Partnership, the Welfare Reform team so that they will not need to be members longer term.

Leading on from this, those at the meeting were asked to consider which charities their churches already support, and to place them (via post-it notes) in categories of local, national or international. This exercise was undertaken to provide pointers as to ways in which churches in the local area could work more together to achieve shared objectives. Tuesday 15 November 2022 at Church of the Good Shepherd, Carshalton Beeches Presentation by Revd Moira Astin, Archdeacon of Reigate and Croydon regarding the Costof-Living crisis and considering both its effect on individuals and churches.

Causes and effects were considered (inflation, war and supply chain problems, leading to increased energy costs and higher prices generally). A map was put up showing the areas of deprivation locally, based not only on household income, but taking into account access to good schooling, job opportunities, health and housing. In Sutton Deanery, some areas are in the bottom 20%, some in the bottom 40%, whereas other areas are in the top 20%. In small groups, representatives were asked to discuss the following questions: a) How is the cost of living impacting your church?

b) What is your church doing to help the community with the cost-of-living crisis?

c) How can we help the churches in the poorest areas to support their communities

Comments were pooled and included:

Sunday Schools

St Alban’s - Amanda Danes and Cathy Smith

The Easter Workshop held on 15th April 2022 was well attended with 60 children and raised about £400, crafts and treats table were well received. We've just had the Easter workshop 2023 with around 50 children attending on 7th April and again raising £400 from the event. We had 3 games as well as 7 crafts and plenty of volunteers from across the parish. Sunday school attendance has decreased over the year with a couple of children attending on a regular basis. We look forward to the babies of the church growing up to attend in the coming years. The Light party held in October 2022 was not well attended but the children who did attend enjoyed the crafts and games. We are hopeful this year we can increase numbers by ensuring the event is better advertised. We thank you everyone for their support with the Sunday school and events and look forward to the Sunday school family growing over the coming year.

St Dunstan’s

Led by Daisy Domenghini, Sunday School met on the first Sunday of each month until the summer. Daisy stepped down from her role in the Autumn and Sunday School did not meet for the rest of the year. Plans were put in place to start again in early 2023.

St Oswald’s – Fiona Webster

The Sunday school is still functioning every Sunday during term-time, except where there is a Service of the Word. We have a committed team of leaders -Cindy Ashwell, Janet Gray, Sue Thomas, Frances Shoebridge and Fiona Webster and they have all completed the mandatory DBC checks within the last few weeks. The rota is helpfully compiled each term by Chris and Pam Hutt.

The leaders use the Roots material and all help with Messy Church initiatives across St Oswald’s and Christchurch with St Philip’s too. There is also contact with St Oswald’s preschool and Sunday school leaders assist at baptisms. The only missing ingredient from Sunday school is sadly, children. On many Sundays there have been no children at all and only 1 or 2 on other days. We continue to pray that more young families will join our aging congregation.

Hon Secretary’s Report 2022 – Lucy Brice

In 2022 the Parochial Church Council (PCC) held four ordinary meetings. These were held in March (20 attendees), June (22 attendees), September (14 attendees), November (12 attendees) all chaired by the Rev’d Dr Nicholas Peacock and held in St Dunstan’s Church Hall.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT St Oswald’s Church

Year ended 31st December 2022

Independent Examiner’s Report on the Accounts

I report on the accounts for the charity for the year ended 31st December 2022

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and that an Independent Examination is needed

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent review

My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit 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 Trustees have not met the requirements:

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