Structure, governance and management

Members of the PCC are either ex officio by virtue of being Churchwardens, or elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) in accordance with the Church Representation Rules.

The PCC operates through the Standing Committee, a committee required by law. The Standing Committee has power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council.

The full PCC met 7 times during the year. We continue to be a body that is involved in the governance of the church with responsibilities shared out amongst members. The PCC support the vicar in his work and ministry and have an important role in ensuring we represent our congregation.

Aim and Purposes

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of the Parish of St Mary Brookfield, has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, Fr Damien Mason, in promoting the Christian faith and the whole ministry of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It

also has maintenance responsibilities for the Church, and the Church Hall at York Rise.

Objectives and activities

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at St Mary’s and to become part of our community. Our services put faith into practice through word and sacrament.

When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. Our vision is:

There are 74 names entered on the Roll.

Review of the year

In 2022 we continued with the work and mission of the parish in the objectives set out above. Much has been achieved throughout the year. Our Mission Action Plan Vision 2025 reminds us that we should be active in the renewal in the life of our congregation and parish. The five areas of transformation and growth identified in our Mission Action Plan are set out below:

Worship

Worship continues to remain at the centre of our life as a parish on Sundays and weekdays. We have one Sunday Solemn Mass and a said Low Mass on most weekdays. Our average adult Sunday attendance in 2022 was 46, and 8 children.

There were 104 communicants on Easter Day and 177 people in attendance on Easter Day and at the

2

Easter Vigil. Christmas communicants numbered 131 with a total of 352 worshipping on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

We have seen growth over the past year in terms of numbers on Sundays. Several new and active members have joined the community including a number of families. The main festivals of Christmas and Easter continue to attract people within the parish to worship at those times. We should also note a number of significant services in the year, including a Solemn Requiem for Her late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. Remembrance Sunday, the Advent Carol Service and Crib Service have grown in popularity.

Music plays an important part in worship on Sundays and at major solemnities and feasts throughout the year. Our organist and choir maintain high standards, appropriately supporting the liturgy and provide continuity. The high quality of choral singing attracts people to worship in St Mary’s and is a key feature of what we do.

We have included a number of extra services and events this past year. Also, children continue to play their part in congregational life with weekly Sunday School and other activities on offer.

Discipleship & Faith

There were 6 Confirmations and 3 Baptisms in 2022. We have continued to adapt and change in terms of teaching. We are ably supported by our Lay Reader who leads on Study Groups and various ways of sharing the faith. Our main study group this year read and studied Jonathan Sacks’ book Morality over six sessions.

Pub Sunday is a regular monthly meeting for fellowship following Sunday Mass. We regularly have between 10-20 people attend.

Our main focus of teaching is the preaching ministry on Sundays. We increasingly see people who are new to faith or who have never encountered the kind of religion we offer at St Mary’s.

Communication in the parish is maintained via the weekly parish email newsletter. Additional teaching material is provided within the newsletter. Contact was also maintained via telephone, and by visiting. There are around six people who receive Holy Communion at home and are visited regularly.

Young People

Our Sunday provision for children has continued in 2022. We now regularly see between 10 and 15 children on a Sunday morning. We take seriously our aim to nurture children to be disciples in their own right as we seek to encourage them in faith and engage them with Scripture and allow them to contribute to worship as they play their part as

children of God. Our Sunday School leaders have enthusiastically and consistently been creative in helping our young people grow through engaging and imaginative ways.

Transforming Community

Our weekday Wellbeing Café now runs three days a week seeing around 40-50 people at each lunch. These sessions were enhanced at the end of 2021 with a National Lottery Grant, which we used throughout 2022 to provide music and activities for those who attend, and improve the facilities.

All Aboard: stay & play for under 5’s now runs four days a week and we see over 100 children over the course of the week. This is proven to be a great way to intereact with local people tackling various kinds of need and breaks down barriers.

Both outreach projects continue to be run in partnership with Highgate Newtown Community Partners (HNCP), a relationship that continues to be fruitful and an effective way of working with our local community.

We also host a peer support group in partnership with MIND Camden, focusing on mental health and wellness. This is a group of 10-15 people who meet weekly and have a short discussion session. This group is drawn from members of our congregation and people from the local community.

We continued to the C4WS winter shelter in the changed circumstances forced by the pandemic and began to prepare for the shelter being hosted in St Mary’s from January 2023.

Transforming our Building

The plans for the works that take into account the need to make major repairs to our building alongside the need to improve our facilities and accessibility culminated in a visit from the Diocesan Advisory Committee (DAC) and other amenity societies, including Historic England, the Church Care Council, and the Victorian Society. We received positive and constructive feedback on our proposals. Further work will be done in early 2023 responding to the Diocese and other interested parties.

In preparation for the Winter Shelter, we installed an additional lavatory in the bell tower, removed the 1980s dais in the nave (under faculty), relaid tiles in the central and side aisles of the church, with a few repairs to paving outside the main door and bell tower room.

We continued with our programme of restoring the ornaments and fabric of the church. A new altar frontal was purchased, candles were improved and replaced, and building and grounds cared for adequetly throughout the year.

3

A significant improvement in finances comes from successful negotiations of a new lease with new tenants (from August 2022) for the Church Hall. The hall continues to be a major source of income for the parish. This income allows us to fund much of our work at St Mary’s.

Risk Management

The PCC noted that continuing expenditure on church and hall maintenance would need to be carefully monitored to ensure that the parish could still meet and if possible increase payments to the Common Fund of the Diocese. The church is dependent on the rents received from the church hall. If one or more of the flats are left vacant for a significant period of time, or if the hall tenant is prevented from opening, the church’s income would be severely affected. Despite 2022 being a year of transition and the risks attached to putting the church hall on the market for let, transactions have run smoothly and we have managed to minimize length of vacancies.

Concerning statutory and legal requirements, the church continued to insure with Ecclesiastical Insurers which provides cover for the most significant high impact risks identified by the PCC.

The PCC also continually monitors the condition of our buildings to ensure that all users of both the church and the hall remain at minimal risk.

The process of identifying the major risks to which the church is exposed, as identified by the PCC, continues. The PCC is committed to continuing this review of risks identified, and to making sure that the systems established to mitigate those risks are improved, where necessary.

Safeguarding

St Mary’s takes safeguarding seriously in the context of our belief that we are all unique, valued, and made in God’s image. We have formally adopted our own safeguarding policy in line with that of the Diocese of London and the national church. Lydia Kember is our Children’s champion. Noel Casey was appointed Church Safeguarding Officer at the beginning of 2022.

Reserves policy

2021, the church’s reserves had reduced by £8,356. The church has sufficient funds in the Church Hall fund: £75,382 (2021: £71,343)) to cover maintenance needs and other liabilities.

In addition, the PCC holds cash reserves on the general fund: £8,809 at 31 December 2022 (£20,399 at 31 December 2021)) as a safeguard against unforeseen expenditure needs. It can call on the church hall account where this is insufficient. The level of the reserves is decided by reference both to identified building and maintenance requirements, and to the PCC’s experience. The level of reserves is reviewed annually.

Financial review

Planned giving received during 2022 decreased by 0.08% on the previous year. Total voluntary income decreased by 3.3% and total income increased by 12.24%.

£234,867 (2021: £175,843) was spent during the year, including the contribution of £60,000 (2021: £58,025) to the diocesan Common Fund. The net result for the year was a loss of £12,978 (2021: a surplus of £21,479).

The PCC has agreed to the diocese’s request that common fund contributions for 2023 should, if possible, be increased. Accordingly, the parish will contribute £70,000 to the Common Fund for 2023.

Plans for future periods

We are positive about the next year and look forward to the challenges ahead. In these uncertain times we must remain rooted and grounded in our belief that the one who calls us is faithful and good and will provide all that we need. As we move into 2023 we hope to build on the things we have learned during the last two difficult years and press on with Vision 2025 .

For the past few years we have started to make decent progress in our wish to become a centre for our parish and community. I am confident that we will continue to develop and grow in the year ahead.

FR DAMIEN MASON

At the end of the year, the PCC had cash reserves of £105,399 (2021: £113,755), of which £14,763 (2021: £15,652) were held on restricted funds and not available for general purposes of the charity.

The church requires significant reserves to ensure that it is able to finance any maintenance required to the Church and church hall buildings, and to meet its liabilities as they fall due. At the end of

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts presented 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 no opinion is expressed 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022

1. THE BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP 2015 (Financial Reporting Standard 102).

The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention except for investments, which are shown at market value. The Church Hall is valued at cost, taken as the insurance estimated value of rebuilding in 1998, and the cost of structural alterations made in 2011. The Accounts have been prepared on an accrual basis.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Funds

General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted. There are three designated funds: the Church Hall designated fund, and the Music Memorial Fund. Money earned by the Church Hall is accounted for in the Church Hall Fund. The maintenance of the church hall is the first charge on that fund. Any surpluses on the fund may be transferred to the general fund to finance the work of the parish.

The Church also has the following restricted funds: the Churchwardens’ Fund (see further note 11, and page 13); the Elsie Huxley Music Fund, set up in memory of Elsie Huxley, which contributes to the costs of music; the Charities fund, into which moneys donated to charity through the church are paid. The other restricted funds include the Organ Fund to which donations are made to contribute to the cost of the organ, the Vestments Fund, for the purchase of vestments, the Cold Weather Shelter fund, for donations towards the church’s expenses as a participant in the Camden Churches Cold Weather Scheme, the Hall fund, the Community Lunch Fund, for costs associated with the Community Lunch hosted by the Church, an Energy Fund, for utilities costs and a Church Wall fund, for donations to the cost of repairs to the church walls.

The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law.

Income

Collections are recognized when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned Giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised only when received. Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognized at the end of the financial year.

Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain. Funds raised by the fete, bazaar and similar events are accounted for gross.

Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due.

Expenditure

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over. The parish contribution to the diocese common fund (the parish share) is accounted for when paid. Any parish share unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the Balance Sheet. Insurance payments are accounted for when paid.

Fixed assets

Consecrated property and movable church furnishings

Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the accounts by s.10(2) of the Charities Act 2011. Movable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC, and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the church’s Inventory which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For inalienable property acquired prior to 2003 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the accounts.

All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings, individual items under £1,500 or on the repair of movable church furnishings acquired before 1 January 2013 is written off when incurred.

Other property, fixtures, fittings and office equipment.

Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight-line basis over 4 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired. No depreciation is charged on the church hall as the currently estimated residual value of the hall (discounted for monetary inflation since their capitalisation) is not less than their carrying value and the remaining useful life of these assets currently exceeds 50 years, so that any depreciation charges would be immaterial. If the carrying value of the buildings looks greater than their current value on this basis, an impairment review would be carried out and any resultant loss included in expenditure for the year. Fixtures and fittings within the church hall are depreciated on a straight-line basis over 15 years.

Current assets

Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectable. Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit with the CBF Church of England Funds or at the bank.

11 GRANTS

The parish of St Mary Brookfield is a beneficiary of annual grants from the St Pancras Church Lands Trust, a Charitable Trust established by Act of Parliament in 1816. This grant may only be used for the maintenance of the church fabric and the maintenance of worship in the parish, and not for general parochial purposes. The amounts received and paid have therefore been included in Restricted Funds in the Statement of Financial Activities. Full details of the funds received from this trust, and payments from that fund are given in the Churchwardens' Account on page 11. The parish also received grants from the Highgate Newtown Commmunity Centre and the diocese of London, in each case towards energy costs.
