## **Over view of activities** 

**The 2023/4 period started with Baptisms and Confirmations** in January 2023 **and** ended with Confirmation of 4 members in April 2024.  This is a sign of great encouragement that St Hilda’s should continue to worship and witness, strong in faith hope and love.  We have firmly re-established normative church activities over the year and 2023 ended with the church filled for a fundraising concert in aid of Linking Lives whilst managing a full round of well attended Christmas services: we celebrated the Incarnation, welcomed local residents and raised £2000 for charity. We have welcomed new members over the year, as well as saying good bye to both more recent and long serving members. 

Bishop Christopher: Confirmation April 2024 

**2023 started in a very difficult place** with the departure of our site administrator due to serious illness, and with the health of our wonderful churchwarden Sylvia affecting her usual vibrant commitment.   Fortunately, Donna Stevens was able to offer support during the very demanding first 6 months of the year, and we still lifted February with a Valentine’s Pudding and Games Evening at the Vicarage, much due to a team effort and the good offices of ‘Games Master’ Mr David Petty. Alma Jenner reminded us how much we have to celebrate by mounting a beautiful display of photos of our life, and as preparation for an equally beautiful portrait gallery of members later in the year. 

**We have been pleased to welcome Rita Carta Manias as** new site and business manager.  Rita had to ‘jump in at the deep end’, as site business has been demanding due to the energy crisis, multiple business and legal needs.  In the light of Father Stuart’s decision to retire, more time has been needed with Rita and Chris to induct them into the management of the site.  This has sadly meant a lack of capacity for focusing on our mission team and its activities.  However other contributions have lifted us up - the beautiful carpet of flowers and the procession of the Blessed Sacrament in June was notably moving, and a first at St Hilda’s. 

**The Church Council is grateful** that the majority of our members are active in prayer, service and giving. At Year end we must urgently work on building up teams to manage Communications, Gift Aid and Electoral Roll, now that 

Mr **.** Tony Budgen has had to reduce his time in the office. 

Corpus Christi carpet of flowers 2023 

**Rita, whilst getting used to the myriad demands of the job** has also been applying for grants to achieve our new push toward sustainability 

2 



as well as consolidating all our efforts past and present toward CO2 reduction in our ‘Greener Church Project’. 

**Building repairs, renovations and legalities across the site** were again time-consuming for the Vicar, Church Wardens and staff.  Church Warden Chris Rainsford met with Rita and the Vicar weekly on Thursdays to review strategy, maintenance issues, to respond to compliance and reporting issues, and preparation for the PCC.  Notwithstanding all these demands, we managed some beautiful events and celebrated a full Holy Week along with the Greater Festivals (Saints Days, Holy Days, Patronal Feast) continuing to be celebrated with a Solemn Mass.  We welcomed our Bishop and Archdeacon for a special visit on 16[th] July, with a parish lunch. 

**The PCC met 7 times during the period.** Though a key part of Our Mission Action plan has not moved far due to Fr Stuart being so caught up in the demands of administration - the new Mission Group started well, but only managed to meet once.  However, the PCC have met at the end of the year to review the Mission Action Plan which will be consolidated in the first meeting of the new PCC. We have formalized a ‘Greener Church Programme as a key part of our plan. 

**The Office Team worked tirelessly again** on the 

administration that supports Church life – banking and book-keeping, PCC administration, service booklet, pew sheets preparation, and correspondence. We must note the stalwart and wonderful contribution of Mr Tony Budgen, who has had to step back because of his health. His support was invaluable at the end of the period by helping Rita learn how to apply for a £3,600 VAT rebate. We have been pleased to welcome Mrs Trish Stocker and Mrs Trish Sarris on to the team. 

**The Sidesmen and Welcomers** have done a great job marking the shape of our Sunday meeting and post-mass gathering, making sure that the opportunity to be with 

Rita and Stuart at their Site Meeting 

each other is well supported and comfortable.  The Sidesmen (8.30am Mass) have added to this ministry at Sundays first Eucharistic gathering and Mr Bhaven Patel has taken on setting up the teas and coffees to support the Welcome team at the 10.15.  Those who quietly behind the scenes make rotas for Readers, Welcomers, Servers, Cantors, and Sidesmen perform a task which shows a particular care and value for all that we are. Also **,** behind scenes **,** Jan Peto faithfully collects and washes the Altar linens and returns them week by week.   The paragraphs above and those below, demonstrate a growth in holy integration, ie of true community and service in our worshipping congregation, which evidences the Holy Spirit enlivening and administering the work of the Body of Christ.  That new members have both felt able to offer and then been readily welcomed into ministry teams has brought great joy over the year. 

**The cantors and servers have been offering excellent leadership** in Service time.  Mr Andrew Tait has been maintaining a bi/weekly practice for Sundays and other liturgies which require music.  We have particularly appreciated the Cantors learning to use the microphones thereby encouraging everyone to sing well.  Mr Rowland our organist has continued to give wonderful service providing musical tributes including the elevations of the eucharistic gifts.  The Altar Serving Team lead by Jacqui Bhola continue to enhance our worship not only on Sundays but at weekday Feast days.  We have welcomed Gail Hosten on the serving team and also Anthony and Alex Drewett have been taking more lead roles now they are in their late teens - new trainees would be very welcome. 

**‘Cuppa & Chat’ group continues** with regular meetings on the 2[nd] Tuesday of the month in the Parish Room.  Activities have included visits of speakers from Lewisham Food Bank, fitness sessions, and 

3 



the local neighborhood police team.  There was also a wonderful Christmas Lunch at the Bromley Court Hotel in December to which the wider congregation were all invited. 

**Christian Aid Week** was boosted by a well organsied and fun pizza and quiz evening, We raised £268 and had timely social event too.. 

**Once again, we made a day-Pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady in Walsingham** in October- it was 

**a** particular joy to welcome a group from our neighboring parish of St Saviour **’** s Church. 

**St Hilda’s Day was celebrated** on Sunday 19[th] November with the Eucharist followed by a shared lunch We were very pleased to welcome Bishop Christopher for the occasion. 

Walsingham Day Pilgrimage October 2023 

**The Children’s Crib Service achieved a record** attendance.  A bespoke Christmas carols event for Cottage Day Nursery’s children, family and staff was - a significant wake up to the Mission potential for working to draw CPCL users closer to us. 

**A charity concert hosted by us in collaboration with Louisa Barry** , Director of ‘Honor Oak Singspace Choir’ and Eleanor Rastall Director of ‘Palace Acapella Choir raised £1,277 for Linking Lives charity. 

**We welcomed once more School visits** from Beecroft Gardens, Gordonbrock and Stillness Schools. The children brought with them a joyful energy and interest, whilst learning about the building and Christian belief. Fr Stuart has also led assemblies three times in the year at Stillness school. 

## **Safeguarding** 

**The safeguarding leaders** have led on achieving DBS checks for new PCC members and Rita. They have also started a process for all DBS certificate holders to take part in online trainings – this process is to continue into 2024. 

## **Junior Church** 

**An influx of toddlers** and regular attendance of older children as visitors has given the junior Church a boost. The children come to the front to present their work before the notices and this is now a regular enhancement of our worship, enabling the children to build confidence, and to celebrate the Gospel theme before the dismissal. Christine, Omoh, and Yvonne plan lessons by collaborating through WhatsApp and Google docs, using online materials that reflect the Sunday Gospel themes, adapting these to the needs of the under 5’s. Supportive parents have been much appreciated.  The Junior Church 

Junior Church Picnic in the Vicarage garden 

have often been meeting in the parish room where restoration of the speaker allows more connection to the liturgy in the church.  A beautiful Picnic event in the Vicarage garden was much enjoyed last summer.  This year a trip to Hastings is being planned to mirror the first junior Church outing of Fr Stuart’s time.

## **People: Electoral Roll and pastoral offices. The Electoral Roll had 73 members** 

We began the year saying a sad farewell to Ian and Jo, Clara and Miles, but have been pleased to welcome new members and to see more people becoming active. Long Serving members David and Emily Petty and Ezra will be with us only occasionally after moving home to Catford. We will miss their loving participation, but are pleased they are giving strength to St Lawrence congregation. 

Baptisms - 2 Adult; Children – 5 (Jan 23)                  1 Adult 2 Children 2024 Confirmations – 3 (2023)   4 (2024)

3 regular members have become unable to attend, and now receive Home Communion. 

## **Charity and Mission Giving** 

We kept up our commitment to regular support of other charities home and overseas. Food bank total 298 kg collected and delivered (May 2023 to April 2024).  We kept faith with our regular charities, made two emergency appeals for Turkey Earthquake and Gaza for Christian Aid.  A small team organized a quiz night to raise funds for Christian Aid

## **Church Wardens Report on the Fabric - Church, Undercroft, Church Hall** 

It has been a busy year which ended with £15k of refurbishments to the drains across the whole site. We hope we have future-proofed issues, but we have had some teething problems.  The drainage diagrams are now much more complete; a significant blocked drain is running again after 28 years. We have been looking at works to the Church Hall to improve energy efficiency and effective heating.  However, hall roofing has been estimated above £280k not including professional fees. 

5 



An outside agency conducted an energy audit which confirmed the significance of our programme to install LED lighting across the site.  In the year we extended this programme to the Parish Room, the Undercroft **,** corridors and lavatories.  We have been pleased to note the LEDs fittings installed in the Hall in 2022 appear to have produced good economies.  We have also been looking at changing the fittings in the church, however there are obstacles and the price will be in the order of £10k. 

In Jan 24 a new more efficient boiler installed to the side room at the Hall in addition to the main boiler installed in Jan 2023.  We have noted reductions in gas consumption over the period and hope this will be a permanent.  We were also nominated by a Diocesan team for a national ‘Demonstrator Churches’ programme which, if we are accepted will provide a small grant and expertise toward planning a major programme of works focused on reducing carbon emissions **,** we also have a grant in progress with the Valencia Fund. 

## **Crofton Park Community Link (CPCL)** 

**The Church Hall, the Undercroft Suite and the Parish Room** are used all year round for community activities and events. We are still building up to pre-Covid levels. Rita has been knocking business into shape **,** with Trish Stocker’s help **,** achieving an improvement in income and bookings. Rita designed two new logos: one was chosen by vote of the congregation.  Stuart Head has been diligently present, supporting all activities on site taking care of cleaning and equipment for both CPCL and setting up Church events.  Site activities have included: 

- ✓ 61 birthday parties on a Saturday afternoon hosting up to 100 guests each; 

- ✓ 3 evangelical churches 52 weeks per year hosting up to 120 worshippers on Sundays; 

- ✓ Cottage nursery, on a 51 weeks basis **,** welcoming c.70 children and 20 staff members **;** 

- ✓ 17 evening well-being and sport activities host up to 150 members on average per week **;** ✓ A charity concert, a green room for a BBC production, music practices, Polling Station. 

**We were pleased that the CPCL accounts showed an unexpected surplus of £5,499.** Overall running costs were £ 90,453 and the overall income was £95,952.  Well done to Rita – a great achievement.  The year has been spent prioritising plans to renovate the Church Hall to make it sustainable.  At the end of the period, Rita’s application to the council for £10,000 toward double glazed units for the hall was granted.  Well done again Rita! 

## **Finances** 

**Regular members have wonderfully** kept up their giving.  However, we do need a dedicated giving team to run a planned giving campaign and get everyone fully committed.  Recruiting a new Gift Aid Secretary and PCC working group will be a necessity in 2024-25, especially as we expect the Telecoms Mast income to be reduced in 2026, under new laws which advantage the suppliers.

## **General Fund** 

**A proportion of our Investment income now supports the General fund** – this is because we have committed a percentage of this income to the parish Share (Quota).  You will note that the Parish Share now exceeds our giving before gift aid claim.   We are pleased that there was a small surplus this year however small - as the fund indicates if our general income and expenditure remain balanced. This highlights how important the gift aid and GASDs is to keeping our finances working out **-** appreciations to all who have been diligent about gift aiding, and to the office team for counting and recording cash for GASDS.   See below how it all worked out:

## **Reserves and Funds Policy** 

**Our two listed buildings are in constant need of repair and renewal** , and, because of our Mission commitments to the Well-being of our Community and to the Care of God’s Creation, they are particularly demanding to run.  We are building large reserves to cover both major works, and any urgent repair costs (e.g. drain repairs Dec 23 - April 2024).  Some funds are reserved each year for a 

7 



future re-roofing as agreed on receipt of a large roofing grant in 2016. The Church Hall is expected to need over £210k to keep it watertight, insulated and serviceable.  The Church will soon need a new heating system which will necessitate a scheme for asbestos removal.  The reserves already built up are a firm base against which we can confidently fundraise to achieve these works. We aim to keep minimum £50k reserve in CPCL Fund to ensure running for 3 years in the event of deficit.

Report to the trustees/ | The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Hilda with St Cyprian, Crofton Park<br>members of<br>On accounts for the year | December 31* 2023 Charity no | 1136437<br>ended (if any)<br>Respective responsibilities of | The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's<br>trustees and examiner _ trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities<br>Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.<br>It is my responsibility to:<br>* examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,<br>e — to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity<br>Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and<br>e to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


- Basis of independent examiner’s My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity statement 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 _ In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention (other than that statement disclosed below *) 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: 

      - e to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and e to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 

      - have not been met; or
