**3** ## **WHO WE ARE** We are a community of folk who are single, married, divorced, widowed, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, gender fluid, not quite sure, rich, poor and penniless. Some of us are wailing babies and are others excited toddlers. Some of us are a bit north of 60 and haven't quite grown up and some of us are in our teens and often feel like we’re growing up too fast. We are wheelchair users, runners, walkers and amblers. Sometimes we take a tumble and fall and when we do, we try and help each other up again. Some of us sing like Dick Haymes whilst others of us are happy just to growl quietly to ourselves. Some of us have come to browse, some have just woken up and some have just been released from prison. Some of us attend church more than the Archbishop of Canterbury and some of us haven’t darkened the doors of a church since we were on the way home from that Christmas party ten years ago. Some of us are here because our mother is visiting for the weekend and it's more than our lives are worth not to go to church with her and look as though we’re having something that bears a passing resemblance to a good time. Some of us find the whole idea of God a bit odd, have been damaged by religion, were force-fed religion as children or have wound up here by mistake. Some of us could use a prayer right now, have screwed up monumentally and would like to light a candle but don't quite know why. Some of us are inked, pierced or both. Some of us are in recovery and others are still addicted. Some of us work too hard, some don't work, can't work, can't spell and feel like we’re not very good at stuff. Most of us know what it’s like to have problems, to be down in the dumps and, on occasions, to feel angry with God. A goodly number of us aren’t what you might call ‘exactly struck’ on organised religion. Most of us have figured out that you can never really know what’s right for another person and some of us often long for some stillness in an often-noisy world, where we can discover the treasure that is within us. We are a mixture of pilgrims, tourists, migrants, asylum seekers, neighbours, explorers, doubters and those who prefer to travel rather than to arrive. We call ourselves and each other to go about life in as compassionate, generous, collaborative, loving, creative, hospitable and grateful a way as possible. We believe that the God who called us all into being - however he, she or they may be perceived – welcomes, includes and loves us all. We at St Paul's try, in our own stumbling way, to welcome, include and love one another too. **4** Road Kitchen Trnns Yoga vFd Women% NA 3th Hackney Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous Stoke Newington Farmers, Market Hackney Chofal North Lmdon Action for the omeless Patients not Pa￿pOrts Over 505 Dance Group ahom Narcotlcs Anonymous 13th Hackney Guides sh Club Dance LGBTIQ+ Posh aub ## **THE PARISH OF ST PAUL WEST HACKNEY PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL** ## _Background_ The Parish of West Hackney is part of the Stepney Episcopal Area of The Diocese of London West Hackney PCC has the responsibility for co-operating with the incumbent, The Reverend Niall Weir, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

We hope that both Fr Justin and his partner Geoffrey will continue to a happy home with us here at St Paul’s. - It was with great sadness that we said ‘Farewell, rest in peace and rise in glory’ to Eliza Bryant, Blanche Williams, Agnes Nwokedi and Danny Graymore since our last meeting. They were all such a big part of our church family and will be greatly missed. Our prayers are with them and their families. ## _**Worship, Education and Nurture**_ - It has been wonderful to be back in church and worshipping together regularly and in person. - Members of the congregation continue to lead prayers and read lessons both during these Virtual Services and when we’ve been worshipping in person - We are very grateful to Tom Daggett, Michael Broadway, David Appleton, John Evanson and Ginny Strawson who play so magnificently for us during our Sunday worship. - During Lent 2023 we once again took Silence and Contemplation as our theme and we followed this by a regular time of contemplative prayer on. Thursday evenings called ‘Still Time’, which has been continued post-Lent. We also held weekly Bible Study times called ‘Soup Group’ on Tuesday lunchtimes in the Rectory. During Lent, people were invited to pause and say the Angelus together each day at 12 noon during Lent. - We were able to resume our Carol Service which was hugely popular and attended by over 100 people. - We were delighted to welcome into the church by Baptism :- ## Josie Goedhals August Dunys-Chapman - We congratulate on their marriage :- ## Pepe Clavijo & Ruth Judge ## _**Property, Stewardship & Finance**_ - We are very grateful to Mr Christian Adams for his work as our Honorary Treasurer. - We are equally grateful to Helen Corcoran for her tireless work as our Stewardship Officer. - We are now into our second year of membership of the Church of England’s Parish Giving Scheme which greatly simplifies the process by which people make their donations to the church and makes the collection of Gift Aid much more straightforward. At the time of this report, 26 people have registered with the scheme with, hopefully, more to follow. This has almost doubled the amount of revenue from giving this year and enabled us to reclaim £5,000 in Gift Aid. - For the 6th year in a row, West Hackney Recreation Ground and St Paul's Churchyard have been awarded the prestige Green Flag status. Congratulations to Sam and to Davan and the team from Hackney Council Parks Deparetent. - We are grateful to Graca, our wonderful cleaner, for keeping St Paul’s Church Hall so clean and tidy and for being such a positive and cheery presence - To mark our 60[th] anniversary, which got lost somewhat in the lockdown and so we completed an ambitious programme to relight our church and hall and the exterior of the building. **9** ## _**Young People**_ - One Sunday morning a month continues to be dedicated to a Communion Service for children of all ages. - On several occasions, the children gave presentations of their Sunday Club work during this service. - Once again, we were able to hold our annual Crib Service on Christmas Eve which attraced over 120 children and adults. - We are very grateful to Ping and David Henningham for keeping contact with our young people and for presenting the Gospel in fresh and imaginative ways. It is largely due to them that our young people feel so comfortable and at home in St Paul’s. - In partnership with St Paul's Cathedral, Hackney Choral continues to run Junior and Senior Children’s Choirs on Monday afternoons in the hall. The choirs sing Evensong twice a term in the church and once a term in St Paul’s Cathedral with the. Cathedral Choir. We continue to be grateful to Tom Daggett, Naomi Richards, Ginny Strawson, Ping Henningham, Lucy Pieroni, Andy Crump and George Cook for all their wonderful and imaginative commitment. Tom will be leaving us in July to take up the prestigious role of Director of Music at Sheffield Cathedral. He has given unceasingly to the life of St Paul’s Church and we will miss him enormously. We wish him well for the future. - In July of last year, we ran a week-long Choral Course in the church hall for over 60 young people. The week culminated in a concert in St Paul’s Hall and the young people joined a group of professional singers in singing a Mozart Mass during Holy Communion in St Paul’s Cathedral. The young people also made a professional recording of a specially commissioned song. - Dolores Crump continues to run her very successful Children’s Book project once a month after church and we’re so grateful to her for this wonderful and greatly appreciated initiative. ## _**Community Involvement and Mission**_ - The Open Doors Sexual Health Clinic, which works with young women at risk, has continued to operate from our church hall and north meeting room, with social distancing firmly in place. We are very grateful to Helen Corcoran for representing us with this project. With the help of Duckie and VFD, we helped the women to celebrate Christmas with a fabulous Christmas Party. - The Rector, Fr Justin and three of our church members continue to serve as trustees of West Hackney Parochial Charity and West Hackney Almshouse. - North London Action of the Homeless goes from strength to strength under the superb leadership of Lucie Galand and her colleagues Andy Caws and Delphine Allard. Jessica Hodge has taken on the role of Chair of Trustees. Raymond Lyons and Lucie Galand continue to lead the Evering Rd Kitchen Garden project. We are especially grateful to them all for the wonderful way in which they adapted their service in the light of the Covid crisis, offering take-away meals and food bags to their service users. - Stoke Newington Farmers’ Market celebrated its 20[th] year in 2023, with a visit from the Mayor of Hackney. The market continues to operate from our churchyard on Saturday mornings and attracts over 2000 people onto our site every weekend. We are very grateful to the marketeers for their generous donations to North London Action for the Homeless. Again, we congratulate Kerry Rankine for the amazing way in which she manages the market, which is now considered a model of good management by other similar markets across the UK. - Narcotics Anonymous continue their meetings in the church hall on Thursday evenings. The Women’s Meeting on Sunday evenings is also going from strength to strength. - The Saturday morning meeting for 'Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous' is also going strong and growing all the time. - The Christmas Forest – or Pines and Needles as they are now known - once again brought Christmas cheer to our churchyard in November and December. - The Posh Club is still alive and well and during its break between Easter and the autumn, the ‘No Frills Social Club’ continues to meet in the hall with between 60 – 70 attendees each week who meet for dancing, eating, drinking and socialising. We’re very grateful to Peter Robertshaw and Geoffrey Wheat and and their team of volunteers for their energy and commitment. - The regenerated Churchyard and Recreation Ground have developed into a popular meeting place for local people and the footfall of people passing through the site has been remarkable. - The Over 50’s Dance Group, normally meets 2-3 times a month in our church hall and it is wonderful to have them back after the lockdown. This project provides a vital, creative and exciting meeting point for so many senior folk from our church community and beyond and we are very grateful to Barbara Layne and her team for organising this project so effortlessly and effectively. **10** - In January, we welcomed a new project – an LGBTIQ+ Alcoholics Anonymous meeting which meets on Monday evenings and is already attracting large numbers. - We are grateful to Shira Hess and Yogahome for running an excellent and weekly yoga-based exercise group in the chuch hall, which is proving hugely popular. ## **REPORT ON THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE DEANERY SYNOD** _Report on the proceedings of the Hackney Deanery Synod as required by Rule 9(1)(e) of the Church Representation Rules_ The Deanery Synod’s main functions are: - to promote in Hackney Deanery the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical - to consider matters concerning the Church of England and to make provision for such matters in relation to the Deanery - to bring together the views of the parishes of the Deanery on common problems, and to discuss and formulate common policies on those problems - to foster a sense of community and interdependence among those parishes - to be the point of contact between those parishes and the Diocesan Synod. During the year since the last APCM, our representatives on Hackney Deanery Synod have been Desiree Crump, Christina Sosanya (lay members) and the Rector. During 2022 the Hackney Deanery Synod met on three occasions **22 March 2022 (on Zoom).** Deanery Synod member Temitope Taiwo, who also sits on General Synod, gave a report on the racial justice debate held at General Synod (3 March 2022) entitled ‘From Lament to Action’. There were two presentations on the theme of ‘Emerging from Covid’: one from Stephen Millar from St John’s, Hoxton and one from The Revd Laura Luz from Trinity Saints United. Break-out room discussions followed on from these presentations. Other business: Hannah Foakes from St Mary of Eton spoke about the need for real care in relation to how people conduct themselves during General & Diocesan Synod elections; Lay Chair Antonio Joseph gave a presentation on the ‘Pastoral Principles’ which had been developed as part of the ‘Living in Love and Faith’ process; it was explained that Bishop Waltham Deanery felt that it was the right time to bring the twinning arrangement with the Hackney Deanery to an end. Everyone felt that it would be good to celebrate what had been a really fruitful relationship for many in the past. An update was given on how various parishes had been engaging with the ‘Living in Love and Faith’ material. Under AOB, Savi Hensman from St Michael & All Angels, London Fields spoke powerfully about the horrific incident involving Child Q in a Hackney Secondary School. The Synod passed a motion – noting with shock and great sadness the mistreatment of Child Q in a school in Hackney, in the light of the Diocese of London’s commitment to racial justice and the wellbeing of all children and young people; recommending that guidelines be put in place to ensure that similar actions do not take place within Diocesan schools; requesting information on whether any such strip-searches have taken place in Diocesan schools over the past three years; requesting information on whether police have been called into diocesan schools over the past three years **11** **21 July 2022 (in person at St John’s, Hoxton, and on Zoom).** The theme was the cost of living crisis. Synod was addressed by The Revd Natasha Beckles of Compassionate Communities, Jenny Zienau (‘Strategic Lead for Change and Transformation’ at Hackney Council) and Ross Hatfull (Business Improvement Service Analyst within the ‘Change Support Team’ at Hackney Council) – giving useful information about initiatives being run by churches across the Diocese, and by Hackney Council. Reports on the work of Diocesan and General Synod were received. As the motion concerning Child Q was brought up under AOB on 22 March, without time for that motion to be pre-circulated, the motion could not go straight to Diocesan Synod. Instead it was presented to Diocesan Synod as a written question by Lay Chair, Antonio Joseph. The reply to that question was circulated to all members. **7 December 2022 (in person at St Michael & All Angels, Stoke Newington Common).** Child Q was our theme. Lisa-Raine Hunt, who works for Hackney Council, gave an account of some of the work Hackney Council has been doing (as a Council and with its schools) following the horrific incident involving Child Q. The Revd Natasha Beckles returned to address the Synod, not in her Compassionate Communities role but as the curate of St Martin’s, Gospel Oak. Her presentation was entitled ‘Made in the Image of God’. It included an analysis of Dame Rachel de Souza (the Children’s Commissioner)’s report on strip searching. Also advice on how local churches can respond to these issues, and how the Hackney Deanery Synod might respond. Synod agreed to form a working-party to take this work forward. Natasha also explored some theological resources for use in addressing the issues raised, and suggested a ‘Child Q Charter’ that could be used in churches and schools. Immediately before the Synod met, there was a Special Meeting of the House of Laity, chaired by Synod Secretary Desiree Crump, to elect a new Lay Chair. Sadly this meeting was not quorate, so the election could not proceed. A new Lay Chair will be elected following the Annual Parochial Church Meetings of 2023. **Our thanks to our wonderful Deanery Synod Representatives, Christina Sosanya and Desiree Crump for representing us on Hackney Deanery Synod and for keeping us abreast of wider church matters. The represent us magnificently.** **12** ## **St Paul’s West Hackney** ## **End of Year Financial Statements** **Year ending 31[st] December 2022** _Page 1_ ## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of St Paul’s Church West Hackney** I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 3 1[st] December 2022 which are set out on finance pages of the Annual Report. ## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** The church’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The church's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act **2011** (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act); - To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and - To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of Independent Examiner's report** 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 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 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 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** _Since the gross income for the year exceeds the amount provided in section 145(3) of the Act, I confirm that I am qualified to act as Independent Examiner under the provisions of that section of the Act and that my qualification is as shown below._ 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 requirements - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or - 2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
