## **Parish of South Crawley**
## **Trustees Annual Report for 2024**
## **Our aims and purposes as a charity**
The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent* and team vicars in:
- The promotion of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England
- Promoting in the parish the whole mission of the church, pastoral, social, evangelistic and ecumenical. This can be summed up as ‘To know Jesus better and make Him better known’
- Providing practical and spiritual support and care for people in the parish, from the youngest to the eldest, irrespective of level of need or ability to pay.
- Providing financial support to other organisations with similar objectives.
## **What we planned to do to achieve our charitable objectives**
When planning our activities for the year, our incumbent* and the PCC have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on ‘charities for the advancement of religion’.
The council has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, fully recognising its duty to have due regard to House of Bishops' guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.
The parish covers three of the neighbourhoods of Crawley and has a church in each area, namely St Mary’s Southgate, Holy Trinity Tilgate (HT), and Christ the Lord, Broadfield (CtL). The PCC has oversight of the whole parish. Much of the day-to-day decision-making is delegated to the District Church Council (DCC) of each church. Each DCC has representatives on the PCC.
*Please note that the incumbent the Rev. Tim Wilson retired on November 5[th] 2024. Henceforth Mark Hales the St. Mary’s Parish Church Warden became the main legal officer and chair of the PCC.
## **Objectives and Activities**
## **We enable as many people as possible to worship at our churches and to become part of our parish community:**
- Teaching, baptising and nurturing new and existing believers is something we do at least weekly on Sundays and also through many different weekday meetings.
## **We offer services of worship to God:**
- Five or six services of Christian Worship are held across the parish every week of the year, with extra ones around the festivals of Christmas and Easter. Morning Prayer is also held at St. Mary’s four mornings a week.
i
- Our services are open to all and attract a range of people from the area we serve, including many ethnic minority members.
- We put faith into practice, through prayer and attending to Scripture, through musical worship and sacrament, through community and social events, and especially through involvement in charitable service to those around us.
- In November 2024 the Team Rector of St. Mary’s retired. The Rev. Gwilym Richards (parttime SSM Assistant Curate at St. Mary’s) has organised the preaching rota to make sure that the normal range of services are carried out at St. Mary’s. The Rev. Jill Alderton (part-time SSM Associate Vicar) has been leading Morning Prayer at St. Mary’s in addition to her other duties at Holy Trinity. Mark Hales the St. Mary’s Church Warden became Chair of the PCC.
- The Rev. David King was licensed in April 2024 to lead the congregation of Christ the Lord on a full-time basis.
## **We promote the gospel and pray that the unchurched may find life in Jesus Christ:**
- We assist people from all walks of life to develop their knowledge of, and trust in, Jesus.
- We offer courses to advance religion, including the Alpha course, and take part in educational courses, such as safeguarding training.
- We aim to live out our Mission Statements – ‘Worshipping Jesus, Making him known, Sharing his love’ (St Mary’s), ‘The heartbeat of God in the community’ (Holy Trinity) and ‘In the community, of the community’ (Christ the Lord).
- We have established home groups at which we learn about the Bible, and engage in worship, prayer and fellowship.
## **We engage in evangelism and outreach to the parish in various ways:**
- We reach out to the unchurched and provide community cohesion through provision of The Alpha Course; Tuesday Communion and Coffee in Tilgate; Craft evenings, The Gate Café and ‘Cake and Company’ in Southgate. We also run the Kintsugi Hope Wellbeing course.
- St. Mary’s ran a holiday club for Primary age children based on the Scripture Union ‘Seaside Rock’ resources.
- Christ the Lord has begun a mid-week evening service for those who do weekend shifts.
- We share in the town’s worship and witness through the Good Friday event in Queen’s Square, and the Sunrise service in Tilgate Park on Easter Sunday.
## **We provide three buildings for people to enjoy:**
- We maintain the fabric of the church buildings as a resource for worship and community events for each or our three neighbourhoods. Our buildings are used by a wide variety of church and community organisations.
## **We provide tangible pastoral and financial support to the poor and needy:**
- We actively encourage our members to be involved in the Crawley Foodbank Partnership, Open House (charity for homelessness), Oasis (crisis pregnancy centre), Christians Against Poverty (Life skills training and debt counselling) and the ‘Love your Neighbour’ scheme. We offer financial support to many of these agencies, and are also able to help individuals and
ii
families who have emergency needs. The parish supports the Diocesan Family Support Worker (FSW) based in Broadfield.
## **We consider the needs of people served by other charities and overseas:**
- We give grants to wider Christian charities. As well as the organisations named above, we give to the national charities CPAS and Home Start. We also give to the international charities TEAR Fund, Mercy Ships, Mission Aviation Fellowship, Kids Alive and New Life Africa International.
## **What we achieved and how we affected beneficiaries’ lives**
## _**Attendance at worship**_
The parish has the privilege of serving parts of Crawley which are relatively needy. Deprivation indices put the area in the lowest quarter of the country as a whole and parts of Broadfield are in the lowest ten percent. While we have people who attend from all parts of the town, most of our attenders are from the parish itself. This is a fulfilment of our aim to serve the whole community of the parish. The churches and their activities are open to everyone, and we are pleased that the racially mixed population of Crawley is well represented in our congregations.
We believe that voluntary attendance to worship the Lord Jesus Christ is a major demonstration of the public benefit of our activities.
An online presence is maintained through our three websites, which amongst other things, give access to recorded sermons.
_**A place to learn to accept others just as they are, as they accept me.**_
_Holy Trinity member_
The average regular weekly attendance for the parish as a whole was 117 adults and 13 children. The worshipping community figure for the whole parish is 232. Included in this figure are those who attend our occasional ‘Messy Church’ event which is run as a combined event for the whole parish.
We are keen to encourage the involvement of all ages. The churches at Southgate and Broadfield
hold regular children’s groups on Sundays as well as some midweek activities. ‘First Friday Fun Club’ at St Mary’s attracts a good number of children who do not normally come on Sundays.
_**A place to belong and link with others in the local neighbourhood.**_
## _**Teaching, baptising and nurturing new and existing believers.**_
_St Mary’s member_
We regularly run the Alpha course in our parish
and it is always encouraging to see people coming to faith. We also ran two Lent courses, one in person at Holy Trinity and one via Zoom with Bishop Ruth of Horsham. During the year we have baptised six people and have held one wedding and six funeral services. Some of these were church members, but often we take funeral services for people who have not attended but who have requested a Church of England funeral.
iii
During the year, many of our members meet in small groups (home groups) for fellowship, Bible study and prayer. These groups are mainly lay-led and form a very important part of our support structure. ‘Barnabas’ by Christian music ministries and ‘Micah: What Does God Require of Us?’ by Stephen Um, the Good Book Company are examples of home group materials used this year.
## _**Evangelism and outreach**_
We have a number of ways in which we seek to reach out to and serve our communities: Our cafes at St Mary’s and our Communion and coffee at Holy Trinity prove popular. We have a group for older people at St Mary’s (Cake and Company) which includes both church attenders and nonattenders. The group is dementia friendly, and is growing.
Our Toddler groups, First Friday Fun Club (FFFC) and occasional Messy Church all cater for children and families. FFFC in particular attracts children who do not attend Sunday events. Many are from ethnic minority backgrounds.
Contact with our local schools is strong. We are in touch with most primary schools in the parish. In many we take regular assemblies and/or welcome the school communities into our churches for special festivals. Carol services, Harvest Festival, and Easter events took place in our churches this year.
## _**Provision of the church building for people to enjoy.**_
All three of our churches are multi-purpose buildings and are widely used during the week for both church and community activities. The Church of Christ the Lord in Broadfield is physically linked to Broadfield Community Centre and works closely with it.
_**‘Cake and Co’ is the most friendly group of people I have ever been with.**_
_New member of the group_
Community users of our buildings include Songbirds Choir (St M); Choir & Ko, a drum teacher and U3A painting and craft group (HT). Christ the Lord Broadfield has become home to regular performances by the excellent ‘Ensemble Reza’ which offers concerts and other services to the community free of charge. St Mary’s and Holy Trinity are also used as polling stations.
In addition, Holy Trinity is home to the Romanian Orthodox Church on Sunday afternoons.
In each of our churches, a lot of work goes on to make our buildings safe and weatherproof places for the congregation and community to enjoy. Major work was done at St Mary’s in replacing all remaining windows that were not double glazed. Holy Trinity had two external doors replaced. All three churches have ongoing problems with roof leaks that are being investigated and attended to.
_**Non-judgmental, accepting, patient and kind. I have been welcomed since I took my first tentative steps through the door.**_
_St Mary’s member_
## _**Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish**_
Pastoral care is offered by all the clergy, ably assisted by many of the laity. Hospital visits, home visits to the housebound and services in residential homes are regularly
undertaken. Our Parish Nurse resigned in August and as of yet there are no plans to replace her.
iv
A number of our members volunteer with Open House (working with the homeless) Crawley Food bank Partnership, Oasis (Crisis pregnancy centre) and Christians Against Poverty Life Skills.
## _**Provision of tangible support to the poor and needy**_
All year round, and especially at harvest time, we collect food to be given to the Crawley Foodbank Partnership (which includes The Easter Team). At Christmas, we collect gifts which can be given to the residents at Open House.
_**The Gate Café makes such lovely coffee!** Café customer_
We have also been able to help families in particular need.
## _**Other charitable giving**_
The churches each give a percentage of their income to charities including Mercy Ships, CPAS, TEAR Fund, Kids Alive, Open House, Christians Against Poverty, Easter Team, New Life Africa International, Home Start, Mission Aviation Fellowship.
We help to raise funds for the Diocesan Family Support Worker who is based in Broadfield.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW 2024**
## _**The financial statements**_
These are the statutory financial statements for the whole parish, bringing together the results for each church and the central PCC funds. The law largely prescribes the format, in particular the separate accounting for unrestricted funds, available for any purpose, and restricted funds which must be used for a specific purpose.
## _**Review of 2024**_
## _**Unrestricted Funds**_
The combined results for the three churches plus the Parish Office were:
- Income: £185,897: an increase of £4,222 compared to 2023 (£181,675)
- Expenses: £206,159: an increase of £14,880 compared to 2023 (£191,279).
- Deficit: £20,262 (2023: Deficit £9,095).
Total income increased by 2.3% within which gift income showed an increase of 1.9%. The underlying trend in regular giving is flat or decreasing. It was the 7.8% increase in expenses that resulted in a deficit that was significantly higher than 2023 and just under the budget for the year.
The deficit of £20,262 was offset by the gain on investments of £17,267 (2023: £33,784). This amount, plus a transfer from restricted funds, resulted in an increase in unrestricted funds of £1,125 (2023: £19,393).
## _**Restricted Funds**_
The total of restricted funds decreased by £6,830 in 2024 and stood at £128,800 at the year-end, of which £121,911 is held in Building Funds. Note 10 provides details of the movements of the restricted and designated funds.
## _**Contribution to the Diocese**_
The contribution from the parish was £100,704 (2023: £100,704). Income from the Arnold Trust which pays for a part of our contribution was £11,436 (2023: £11,142).
## _**Balance Sheet and Reserves**_
Our net assets on the balance sheet decreased by £5,706 to £419,834 (2023: £425,540). The total deficit from our General and Restricted Funds (£22,973) was reduced by the gain on investments which appears in the Statement of Financial Activities under "Gains/(Losses) on Investments".
## _**Investment Policy**_
Funds are held in immediate access deposits with Barclays Bank and Church of England Funds at CCLA. Interest received from the bank accounts is minimal and exceeded by charges. Since 2019 the PCC has invested £180,000 in equal amounts of shares in two Church of England Investment Funds: £120,000 on behalf of St.Mary’s and £60,000 of PCC Funds.
The investments are realisable in whole or in part without delay and so form part of our liquid reserves. As at 31 December 2024 their market value was £281,273. The current value represents a gain of £101,272 or 56% on the original investments of £180,000.
## _**Outlook for 2025**_
In 2024, the PCC fulfilled its pledged contribution to the diocese of £107,000 and has maintained its pledge for 2025 at the same level, which reflects the PCC’s commitment to continue to play its part in supporting the wider work of the diocese. It should however be noted that compared to the other parishes in the deanery, the PCC’s contribution represents one of the highest in terms of the percentage of unrestricted total income.
As was the case in 2023, 2024 was a challenging one in terms of ministry resources as a result of the vacancy at Christ the Lord Broadfield and then the retirement of the team rector/St. Mary’s vicar. The support of both clergy and laity ensured that the financial consequences for the church were minimised, though the cost of renovating the vicarage increased the expenses for 2024 and will do so again for the rectory in 2025.
In setting a 2025 budget for General Funds the PCC relied on the continuance of pledged giving without considering unplanned generosity. Hence it estimates a budget deficit of £11,200 for 2025 which will most likely be exceeded once the full costs of the rectory re-decoration are known.
The building fund reserves of £116,353 will help towards the cost of major work to our infrastructure at Holy Trinity and St. Mary’s, though it is likely that this will not be sufficient. Depending on fundraising for these projects the extent to which General Funds may be required to cover shortfalls is as yet unknown. In order to provide a framework to determine the amounts that could be provided towards these shortfalls the PCC embarked on a process to determine the allocation of total resources between working capital, strategic mission opportunities and major building works. The results of this will be considered by the PCC in 2025.
In the midst of these financial uncertainties the PCC will continue to review the financial situation as the year unfolds, though it is a matter of concern that we are unable to cover our normal expenses as costs continue to rise and regular income is flat. However, with unrestricted funds (including investment gains) standing at £291,036 plus Building Funds of £121,911 at the end of 2024, the trustees have concluded that there are no material uncertainties about the PCC’s ability to continue as a going concern.
From the start of 2022 we implemented financial management software which enabled the production of the reports which are attached, and appointed a new Independent Examiner. These changes required extra work but their benefits are now fully realised. Therefore on behalf of the PCC, I would like to thank Suzette Downs, the church treasurers, and all those who help in any way in the processes that result in the preparation of the financial records.
