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 Justin Gau 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.

REPORT ON THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE PCC & LIFE OF THE PARISH

During the 12 months since the last Report, the PCC met on three occasions to ensure the ongoing life of the parish which may be summarised as follows :-

Our Life as a Church Community

Sam Silverlock continued in his role as our Garden Manager and Volunteer Co-ordinator and he keeps the Recreation Ground and Churchyard in excellent and attractive condition, not least during these demanding times.
Helen Corcoran, Jane Horsfall and Cicely Etienne continue to deliver a valued and effective ministry as Pastoral Assistants. Helen stood down from the role in January 2024.
We continue to be blessed by the company and ministry of Fr Justin Gau to St Paul’s as our Self-Supporting Assistant Priest. 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 Carmen McDonald and Peter Leonard 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.
We welcomed Jarek Budny as our Facilities Manager.
Fr Niall announced that he would be resigning as Rector of West Hackney at the end of August 2024 and that his last Sunday would be the 2nd June.

Worship, Education and Nurture

Members of the congregation continue to lead prayers and read lessons both during our Sunday morning services
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.
Our Carol Service which was hugely popular and attended by over 150 people.
We were delighted to welcome into the church by Baptism :-

Leane Court Leyaun Reid

Property, Stewardship & Finance

We are very grateful to Mr Christian Adams for his work as our Honorary Treasurer.
We are now into our third 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. We carried out an historic Gift Aid claim with generated £12,000
For the 7th 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 Department.
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 install a new audio-visual system our church and hall, along with the installation of the new lighting system and the cleaning of the two murals in the church.
In January, we received a formal Visitation from the Archdeacon of Hackney, who met with the Rector, the Wardens and the PCC to review the life and governance of the Parish. His report was favourable and he gave us some pointers for the way forward, not least during the vacancy created by Fr Niall’s retirement.

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 attracted over 150 children and adults.
We are very grateful to Ping and David Henningham for all the work they have done over the years in 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. We are sorry that they have stood down from this role and we are deeply grateful for all they have done.
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 said ‘goodbye’ to Tom Daggett, who was appointed as Director of Music at Sheffield Cathedral. We also said ‘farewell’ to Naomi Richards and wish her every blessing too. Will Bruce was appointed as Music Outreach Office at St Paul’s Cathedral and is now very much at home as director of our children’s choirs. We thank Ginny Strawson, Lucy Pieroni, Andy Crump and George Cook for all their wonderful and imaginative commitment. enrmously..
In July of 2023, 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 Evenson in St Paul’s Cathedral. The young people also made a professional recording of a specially commissioned song and some of our young people featured on the latest album by the artist Bugzy Malone.
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 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 and for their wonderful initiative of the ‘No Frills Social Club’, which runs on two Wednesdays every month.
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.

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 church hall, which is proving hugely popular. Our thanks go to Jane Horsfall for overseeing this.
We welcomed ‘The Choir with No Name’, an innovative project that runs a choir for people experiencing homelessness and we are delighted to have them on board.
We also welcomed a Ukulele Group to our hall, run by the University of the 3rd Age.

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.

Report on the proceedings of the Hackney Deanery Synod 2023

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 2023 the Hackney Deanery Synod met on three occasions:

27 April 2023. St Peter De Beauvoir Town. The theme for the evening was the Synod learning more about the work of Hackney Council, educating itself about the Council’s strategic planning, and thinking about how the church and the Council can work well together. First, a presentation was given by Sonia Khan, Head of Policy and Strategic Delivery. Sonia introduced Hackney’s Strategic Plan – ‘Working Together for a Better Hackney’ and supplied information about applying for Council Funding for project work. Secondly, Cllr Joe Walker spoke about the setting up of Clapton Commons. Cllr Joe had also been involved in some recent meetings with the church about Estates ministry. Felt that it was important that the church always seeks to work in partnership, rather than thinking that there is nothing

already happening in communities and that they were going to come in and save them. Later in the meeting, the Synod gave its blessing to the ‘Child Q Working Group’ to continue its work, consulting with Diocesan Safeguarding, the Diocesan Youth Team, the Racial Justice Priority Group - about the wording of the Charter. Other items: plans explained for the coach outing to Bishop Waltham Deanery in the Portsmouth Diocese to mark the end of the formal link with Hackney Deanery – which will take place on 10 June 2023; and a report on the work of Diocesan Synod.

2023 saw the end of the formal link between Hackney Deanery and Bishop Waltham Deanery. The end was marked with a day of thanksgiving for the link in Bishop Waltham Deanery, which involved a coach outing form Hackney, a meal, a visit to a summer fayre, and a church service.

The previous Triennium of the Synod ended on 30 June 2023. Thank you to all Synod reps who served up until then!

17 July 2023. St Mary’s, Stoke Newington. At a ‘Special Meeting of the House of Laity’ Desiree Crump was elected as the lay Joint Chair of the Deanery Synod for the next three-year life (triennium) of the Synod. The Deanery Synod (laity & clergy together) met immediately afterwards. Synod officers were elected (Hannah Foakes, the Revd Sue Makin, the Revd Lizzie Campbell, the Revd Steve Gayle. Vacancy for Synod Secretary). The Revd Andy Rider, the Stepney Area Dean of Mission, gave a presentation on the Stepney Area ‘Mission Strategy’. The Revd Daniel Gerrans gave an introduction to the ‘Covenant for Clergy Care and Wellbeing’. Christina Sosonya reported on the work of Diocesan Synod. Janet Taylor was appointed as Synod School Governor for the Primary Advantage federation.

21 November 2023. St Olave’s, Woodberry Down. Mrs Folake Roberts, Area Vice President of the Mothers’ Union for the Stepney Area, gave a presentation about the work of the Mothers’ Union. Encouraged churches to set up their own Mothers’ Union branches. People could also become individual (or couple) Diocesan members. Open invitation to joining the monthly St Olave’s Zoom meeting. A presentation was given about the Hackney & Islington Mission Project. The Revd Laura Luz spoke about the youth strand. The Revd Andrew Wilson about ‘Catholic Mission & Renewal’ and Estates work. The Revd Sue Makin reported on the work of General Synod, especially developments in relation to ‘Living in Love & Faith’. Announced that the Revd Shana Maloney is now Priest-in-Charge of St James, Clapton and the Revd Charis Enga is now the Vicar of St Andrew’s, Bethune Road, having previously been Priest-in-Charge.

Thank you to all who have attended and contributed to Deanery Synod during this last year.

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.

St Paul’s West Hackney

End of Year Financial Statements

Year ending 31[st] December 2023

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 2023 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.
