Parish wide business is dealt with by the trustees of the charity (the Parochial Church Council). In addition, there is a statutory Standing Committee made up of the Vicar, clergy and wardens of the parish (and treasurer, when appointed, position currently vacant) to deal with urgent management issues. Business relating to the individual churches, including the domestic affairs of each church, is dealt with by the two Church Management Committees (one each for Christ Church and for St Saviour’s). Other PCC committees are formed, sometimes as a short term measure, to deal with specific issues: e.g. mission partnership committee, safeguarding management group and Maidstone Commitments Group. The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

Section C: Objectives and activities

giving along with information on practical techniques to support giving by the congregations. The long-term aim being to access our vision as a church and work out where we want to be going. The overall giving has exceeded expectations from the beginning of the year and spending remains under control. 60% of the parish share was paid to Manchester Diocese in 2022 (contribution to our clergy stipends and housing costs as well as towards other C of E expenses). The intention was to pay at least 80%, but cash flow difficulties prevented this. The impact of the costof-living crisis and the loss of some significant givers has been felt by the parish.

economic conditions and further consideration on how to make a faith connection with those who attend is ongoing.
