**2024 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council of St Barnabas Dulwich** 

## **Aims and Purposes:** 

St  Barnabas’  Parochial  Church  Council  (PCC)  has  the  responsibility  of  cooperating  with  the Reverend  Liz  Barnett,  Associate  Priest  until  September  2024  and  Priest  in  Charge  thereafter,  in promoting  in  the  ecclesiastical  parish,  the  whole  mission  of  the  Church,  pastoral,  evangelistic, social and ecumenical. 

## **Objectives and Activities:** 

The  PCC’s  vision  is  for  St  Barnabas  Church  and  Christ’s  Chapel  Dulwich  to  be  a  home  to  people of  all  ages  and  backgrounds,  where  all  are  encouraged  in  their  personal  walk  with  God  and where all can encounter Jesus Christ and His calling in their lives. 

The  objectives  of  our  Mission  Action  Plan  were  ‘To  Worship,  Welcome,  Nurture,  Steward  and Engage’.  In  this  sense, we  are  committed  to  the  spiritual  growth  of  our  congregation  in discipleship  and  in  relationship  with  one  another.  We  want  this  parish  to  be  a  place  where  old and  young  are  encouraged  in  their  faith,  where  we  are  relevant  both  to  children  and  families who  attend  and  to  the  older  members  of  our  congregation.  In  achieving  these  goals,  we  are mindful  of  stewarding  our  resources  well,  both  material  and  immaterial,  and  of  the  importance of sound financial management. 

Our  activities  in  pursuit  of  these  objectives  include  regular  public  worship  and  the  provision  of sacred  spaces  open  to  all,  the  teaching  and  promotion  of  Christianity,  and  pastoral  work  in  the parish.  Our  clergy  team  lead  religious  assemblies  in  our  local  schools,  and  we  run  open  events, meetings and activities for various age groups to enable us all to grow in faith. 

When  planning  our  activities  for  the  year,  we  have  considered  the  Commission's  guidance  on public  benefit  and,  in  particular,  the  supplementary  guidance  on  charities  for  the advancement  of  religion.  Our  stewardship  of  our  finances  and  our  church  buildings  allows  us to undertake the activities which achieve our charitable objects. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## Services 

In  the  spirit  of  St  Barnabas  ‘the  encourager’  welcoming  newcomers  is  a  particularly  important part  of  our  mission,  as  families  move  into  the  area  and  others  move  away.  A  substantial  part of  our  congregation  lives  outside  the  parish,  drawn  here  by  the  vibrancy  of  our  ministry.  At the end of 2024, there were 307 names on the electoral roll. 

Our  varied  forms  of  worship  are  a  key  part  of  our  mission  to  be  a  home  to  all.  The  diverse range  of  liturgical  experiences  encompasses  both  new  forms  or  ‘Fresh  Expressions’  at  St Barnabas  and  the  Book  of  Common  Prayer  at  Christ’s  Chapel.  We  have  also  continued  to  live stream  our  services,  offering  connection  to  members  who  for  various  reasons  struggle  to  make it to church in person. 

1 



Our  main  service  at  St  Barnabas  is  10  a.m.  Eucharist;  the  first  Sunday  of  every  month  is  a special  Family  Communion  service  and  we  also  have  Choral  Evensong  at  St  Barnabas  on  this Sunday.  We  celebrate  Eucharist  during  the  week,  and  the  church  is  open  for  prayer  on weekdays.  We  held  Messy  Church  services  throughout  the  year,  inviting  families  to  encounter Jesus with fun and creativity. 

Worship  takes  place  in  the  Chapel  every  Sunday,  with  Holy  Communion  at  eight  o’clock.  Matins is  celebrated  on  the  first  Sunday  with  Evensong  taking  place  on  the  other  Sundays.  During  term time  Dulwich  College  holds  Choral  Matins,  Choral  Eucharist  and  Choral  Evensong  services  at the Chapel. 

From  our  family  services  to  worship  at  the  Chapel,  these  varied  styles  broaden  our  appeal  and enrich our ministry. 

We  are  also  a  home  for  the  schools  which  form  such  a  key  part  of  local  life.  Both  the Foundation  Schools  and  Dulwich  Village  Infant  School  hold  services  and  concerts  in  our buildings. 

We  hold  an  important  place  in  the  lives  of  those  in  the  parish;  this  year  we  held  14  funerals, baptised 27 children and married 11 couples. 

## Children ’ s Outreach 

This  year,  despite  the  reduced  number  of  clergy,  we  continued  to  welcome  and  encourage children  to  join  the  life  of  the  church.  Our  regular  Sunday  groups  play  a  vital  part  in  our children’s  work,  catering  for  children  from  babyhood  to  their  last  year  at  primary  school. Activities  draw  on  the  Bible  stories  and  encourage  the  children  in  prayer.  Whilst  we  have  not been  able  to  hold  them  once  a  month,  we  have  held  Messy  Church  services  throughout  the year.  These  are  Christ-centred  services  filled  with  creativity,  hospitality  and  celebration.  We  also ran a Discover Communion! course in the Spring. 

In  addition  to  these  Sunday  groups,  we  have  groups  that  meet  throughout  the  week  during term  time.  The  Dulwich  Children’s  Choir  has  about  40  active  members  who  join  our congregation  once  a  month  for  our  Family  Communion  services.  Dulwich  Youth  Choir, encourages  children  to  remain  an  integral  part  of  our  worship  well  into  their  secondary schooling.  On  Fridays,  we  run  PlayTime!,  our  faith-based  Friday  group  for  0-5s.  Each  year, including  this  one,  has  seen  many  PlayTime!  baptisms  as  we  welcome  these  families  into  the life of the Church. 

The  church  continues  its  valuable  links  with  Dulwich  Village  Infants’  School,  of  which  the Christian vision is encapsulated as ‘Flourishing with God in life, learning and love’. 

## Social Outreach Groups 

We  have  continued  to  provide  support  for  local  asylum  seekers  with  the  use  of  our  community facilities  to  provide  a  weekly  meet-up  event  for  them.  The  St  Barnabas  Prisoners  of  Conscience Group  supports  those  imprisoned  and  persecuted  for  their  faith  across  the  world  by  sending cards  and  meeting  regularly  to  exchange  information,  write  to  governments  and  pray.  Our 

2 



monthly  gathering  for  our  older  folk,  Friends  for  Lunch,  in  partnership  with  local  charity  Link Age Southwark has continued to meet monthly, providing friendship and fellowship. 

Our  Advent  Course  read  through  the  book  Embracing  Humanity  –  a  journey  towards  becoming flesh,  by  Isabelle  Hamley.  Our  clergy  and  several  members  of  the  congregation  also  joined  the Church  of  England  Advent  retreat  (Through  Darkness  To  Light:  Advent  Journeys)  on  30th November. 

## Supporting Ukraine 

In  the  last  year,  St  Barnabas  continued  to  be  a  hub  for  Ukrainian  support.  The  City  Bridge Foundation  grant  continued  to  fund  our  refugee  support  worker,  Sara  Manwell.  St  Barnabas held  monthly  Saturday  morning  gatherings  and  a  weekly  language  cafe,  creating  opportunities for  Ukrainians  to  meet  others,  reduce  isolation,  build  support  networks  and  promote  their sense  of  well-being  through  hospitality  and  creativity.  The  Ukrainian  Youth  Group  continued through  2024  although  as  priorities  changed  we  celebrated  how  many  youth  group  members were  now  happily  integrated  into  local  schools,  universities  and  extra-curricular  activities becoming  much-appreciated  members  of  our  communities.  A  particular  highlight  was  the participation  by  a  small  group  of  Ukrainian  teenagers  in  a  4-month  long  Unesco/Penn University  Youth  Action  research  project  looking  at  ‘Investigating  the  Empathetic  Connections Between  Refugees  and  Host  Communities’.  Throughout  the  process,  they  developed  a  deeper understanding  of  the  purpose  and  practice  of  research,  but  also  enhanced  their  self-advocacy skills  and  social  awareness,  often  drawing  on  and  reflecting  upon  their  own  lived  experiences of  displacement.  Their  efforts  also  helped  serve  as  a  bridge  between  displaced  families  and local  resources,  facilitating  critical  conversations  about  support  and  lived  experiences  that formal channels can miss. 

Throughout  the  year,  Sara  also  coordinated  and  distributed  donations  including  17  bikes  from The  Bike  Project,  18  laptops,  3  smartphones  and  numerous  household  items.  Finding accommodation  and  work  continues  to  be  an  ongoing  source  of  difficulty  and  stress  for  our Ukrainian  guests  and  Sara  has  found  that  offering  individual  time  and  attention  can  help people  feel  less  alone,  less  confused  and  ultimately  enable  them  to  engage  more  realistically with challenging next steps and decisions. 

## Music 

Our  choirs  at  both  St  Barnabas  and  at  Christ ’ s  Chapel  are  a  wonderful  addition  to  our  worship and  draw  on  the  talent  and  enthusiasm  of  members  of  our  congregation  of  all  ages.  This  year the  Dulwich  Children ’ s  Choir  flourished  with  40  active  choristers  from  school  years  2-7  singing each  Friday.  Dulwich  Youth  Choir  also  meets  weekly  on  a  Friday  and  the  number  singing  has grown  steadily.  The  Adult  Choir  continues  to  flourish.  I t  was  an  honour  to  sing  for  Bishop Karowei’s  memorial  service,  a  moving  occasion  in  which  music  played  an  important  role  in bringing  people  together  in  remembrance.  Later  in  the  year,  the  Parish  Choir  was  invited  to sing  Evensong  at  Westminster  Abbey  in  August,  a  significant  moment  in  our  choir’s  calendar and  a  recognition  of  their  hard  work  and  ability.  While  opportunities  like  this  are  a  privilege, 

3 



they  are  also  a  testament  to  the  commitment  and  high  standards  of  the  choir,  whose  members continue to rise to new challenges with dedication and enthusiasm. 

Christ’s  Chapel  Choir  functions  as  a  community  choir,  whose  members  attend  the  chapel  to enjoy  the  Book  of  Common  Prayer  liturgy  in  quiet,  warm,  comfortable  surroundings.  Singers attend  when  other  commitments,  including  health  issues,  don’t  claim  their  time.  A  wide  variety of  musical  styles  is  sung,  largely  chosen  according  to  the  numbers  who  have  signed  on  for  that particular  week.  The  choir  has  joined  with  St  Barnabas  Choir  on  some  occasions.  Organ  recitals were  required  to  cease  during  the  pandemic;  a  new  format  is  being  worked  on  to  include  more weekday  evening  recitals  as  well  as  Sunday  ones.  Benjamin  Chewter  played  to  a  packed  house in December 2024, raising money for the organ’s upkeep. 

## Plans for the Future 

2024  was  a  year  of  substantial  change  for  St  Barnabas  as  we  managed  an  interregnum  in  the first  half  of  the  year  and  the  recruitment  and  licensing  of  Revd  Liz  Barnett  as  our  Priest  in Charge  in  September  with  plans  to  grow  our  ministry  and  outreach,  particularly  to  families  and young  people.  In  aid  of  this,  we  have  obtained  funding  from  the  Church  of  England’s  Strategic Development  Funding  to  hire  both  a  Children  and  Families  Worker  and  a  music  assistant.  This funding  has  also  allowed  up  to  establish  a  supportive  link  with  another  local  parish,  St  Clement with  St  Peter  in  East  Dulwich,  with  the  recruitment  of  Revd  Gemma  Lau  as  vicar  at  St  Clement with St Peter and Associate Priest at St Barnabas. 

## Financial Review 

At  the  end  of  December  2024,  we  had  overall  funds  of  £100,577  up  from  £90,489  at  the  end  of 2023,  representing  an  overall  surplus  for  2024  of  £10,088  (£4,712  excluding  restricted  funds). The  surplus  for  the  year  was  due  to  receipt  of  a  generous  bequest,  which  was  partially  used  for the  purchase  of  the  new  piano.  Excluding  the  bequest  and  associated  purchase,  the  account shows an underlying deficit for the year of £36,714. 

On  the  expenditure  side,  repairs  and  maintenance  costs  reverted  to  more  normal  levels  in  2024 at  £29,350  compared  with  the  exceptional  levels  seen  in  2023.  This  reduction  in  expenditure was  partially  offset  by  increased  staff  costs.  Other  areas  of  expenditure  (e.g.  energy  costs, non-staff music fees etc.) were broadly similar to 2023. 

Our  income  from  lettings  at  the  Hall  and  Church  fell  by  £9,970  (due  mainly  to  the  loss  of  a significant  customer  due  to  their  need  for  larger  premises),  whilst  lettings  income  from  our Druce  Road  property  and  the  Institute  fund  (which  lets  out  a  building  in  Townley  Road)  were broadly unchanged. 

Total  Donations  (including  the  bequest  received  and  grants)  increased  in  2024  to  £325,025; donations  excluding  bequests  and  grants  stood  at  £242,040  (compared  with  £266,816  in  2023). The  donations  along  with  additional  income  from  lettings  and  legacies  have  allowed  the  PCC  to continue  the  wide  range  of  activities  in  line  with  our  Mission  Action  Plan,  as  well  as  our pledged  contribution  to  Southwark’s  Ministry  Fund  which  increased  by  just  under  2%  this  year. 

4 



We  are  very  grateful  for  the  commitment  of  those  who  have  so  generously  donated  to  the running of the Church to allow this to happen. 

Looking  forward,  we  are  aware  that  the  increased  costs  we  have  experienced  over  the  last  2-3 years  have  not  been  matched  fully  by  increased  income.  In  2024,  this  resulted  in  a  subsidy being  required  from  our  legacy  funds.  We  are  continuing  to  look  carefully  at  areas  where  we can  increase  our  income  and  reduce  our  costs  without  adversely  impacting  the  Church’s  many activities with the aim of maintaining a broadly balanced budget over the medium term. 

## Reserves policy 

It  is  PCC  policy  to  try  to  maintain  a  balance  on  free  reserves  (net  current  assets)  which  equates to  at  least  three  months'  expenditure,  currently £ 130,000.  This  is  the  minimum  level  of  working capital  needed  to  manage  our  cash  flow  and  particularly  to  meet  our  monthly  payments  to  the Diocese. 

The  balance  of  the  free  reserves  on  unrestricted  funds  at  the  year-end  was  £94,560  £6017  is additionally retained at the year-end in restricted funds. 

## Volunteers 

The  work  of  the  PCC  would  not  be  possible  without  the  volunteers  who  enable  so  many  of  our activities. 

The  PCC  members  and  officers  themselves  give  their  time  and  expertise  to  the  management  of the  charity  and  members  of  the  congregation,  led  by  the  Churchwardens  and  Deputy Churchwarden,  extend  a  welcome  to  all  those  who  attend  our  services,  lead  our  singing  as  part of  the  choir,  run  our  Sunday  groups  for  children,  help  administer  the  Eucharist,  lead  study  and discussion  groups,  keep  our  Electoral  Roll,  run  our  Friends  for  Lunch  for  our  older  members, manage  our  finances,  keep  our  gardens  looking  their  best,  make  the  coffee,  count  the collections,  and  much  more  besides.  Such  joyful  commitment  is  an  inspiring  expression  of  our shared faith. 

## Safeguarding 

Alison  Davidson  and  Lydia  Cook  have  continued  as  Parish  Safeguarding  Officers  (PSOs)  over  the past  year.  DBS  checks  need  to  be  renewed  every  3  years  which  aligns  with  training  which  needs to  be  repeated  every  3  years.  DBS  checks  have  been  carried  out  on  all  children ’ s  group volunteers.  Each  new  group  set  up  is  given  a  risk  assessment  and  discussion  regarding  DBS levels  /  confidential  declarations  /training  needed.  Lydia  and  Alison  have  undergone  specific PSO  training  at  the  Diocese,  and  Alison  has  also  undertaken  Leadership  Training  (C2).  PCC members  and  Sunday  school  leaders  are  expected  to  undertake  C0  and  C1  training,  and  those in  Leadership  positions  must  also  undertake  C2  training.  Each  year  (in  January)  the  PCC  signs  a formal  adoption  of  the  House  of  Bishops ‘ Promoting  a  Safer  Church  :  safeguarding  policy statement ’ covering  children,  vulnerable  adults,  and  domestic  abuse.  A  Parish  Safeguarding Checklist  is  also  completed  and  signed  off  by  the  PCC  at  this  time.  Registers  of  Sunday children ’ s  groups  are  being  taken,  along  with  the  adults  and  volunteers  taking  that  group  that 

5 



day  as  per  Diocesan  advice.  All  activities  on  church  premises  need  to  have  a  risk  assessment undertaken  and  documented.  Regular  safeguarding  meetings  are  held  throughout  the  year between  PSOs  and  clergy.  The  PCC  received  the  annual  safeguarding  report  and  adopted safeguarding policies for a further 12 months in January. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The  Parochial  Church  Council  is  a  corporate  body  established  by  the  Church  of  England.  The PCC  operates  under  the  Parochial  Church  Council  Powers  Measure.  The  PCC  is  a  Registered Charity. 

The  method  of  appointment  of  PCC  members  is  set  out  in  the  Church  Representation  Rules.  At St  Barnabas  the  membership  of  the  PCC  consists  of  the  incumbent  (our  vicar),  our  curate  and the  chaplains  of  Alleyn ’ s  School  and  Dulwich  College,  the  churchwardens  of  St  Barnabas  with Christ ’ s  Chapel,  our  elected  members  of  Deanery  Synod  and  lay  members  elected  by  those members  of  the  congregation  who  are  on  the  electoral  roll  of  the  church.  All  those  who  attend our  services  are  encouraged  to  register  on  the  Electoral  Roll  and  to  stand  for  election  to  the PCC. Elections are for a term of three years 

The  PCC  members  are  responsible  for  making  decisions  on  all  matters  of  general  concern  and importance  to  the  parish  including  deciding  on  how  the  funds  of  the  PCC  are  to  be  spent.  New members  receive  an  induction  on  appointment.  The  full  PCC  met  six  times  during  the  year.  The Standing  Committee,  which  also  meets  regularly,  oversees  the  way  in  which  the  PCC  carries  out its  duties.  Minutes  of  PCC  meetings  are  displayed  on  the  notice  board  in  the  welcome  area  and are available on the St Barnabas website.
