The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of St Mary & St Gabriel Church and associated buildings. ## **Objectives and activities** The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at South Harting. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. 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. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through: - Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus. - Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish. - Missionary and outreach work. ## **Achievements and performance** ## **Worship and prayer** While we have been in Interregnum, we have managed to ensure there has been at least one or a range of services each week, and over the course of the year, which all are welcome to attend. At present there are 77 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll. The average weekly attendance during 2023, was between 14 and 61 parishioners. The Christmas Services were attended by 638 in total. As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through Baptism, we thank God for the gift of life: in Marriage, public vows are exchanged with God's blessing; through Funeral services, friends and family express their grief and give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and commend the person into God's keeping. This year there have been 5 Baptisms, 14 weddings, 10 funerals, and 5 Interment of Ashes. ## **Deanery Synod** Sarah Wilcox and Andrea Frears sit on the Deanery Synod. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church. ## **The Church Building, Fabric and Contents** Repairs to the roofing tiles were carried out at the end of 2023. Repairs to the parquet flooring has been completed. During the recent clearing of the belltower, two antique font covers were discovered. Now cleaned and polished, they both look beautiful and are interchanged in use on the font. One is Victorian; large and made of oak and seems to represent a crown. A break in one of the branches pegged to the central column was repaired, without charge, by Jim Blackstone, a liturgical artist. The other font cover is probably Edwardian; flat and made of oak inlaid with mother of pearl and has an in-memoriam dedication to A.V.Y Couzens started work on the churchyard store on the 8th April 2024, the works may take about a month but will not need scaffolding. Friends Of Harting Church have offered to pay 50% of the cost of repairing the store. The construction of the new lectern for the church has been agreed by the Diocese and work has begun. Alex Jones has been employed to do the works, renowned for his beautiful wood carvings. Monthly cleaning by ourselves and other members of our church hugely improves the maintenance and state of the church. The Kit North-Lewis bench by the church gates has been carefully repaired by a goodly soul name unknown. ## **Financial review** ## **Income & Expenditure** Expenditure exceeded our income this year by £11,700 however, £7,876 can be covered by drawing down from our investments. In addition our overall investments yielded £40,629 during 2023 compared to a loss of £57,567 during 2022. A very healthy overall situation. ## **Safeguarding** The PCC has complied with the duty to have regard to the House of Bishop's guidance on safeguarding children and young adults. ## **Structure, governance and management** The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. It operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure and is a Registered Charity. The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St Mary & St Gabriel the membership of the PCC consists of the Churchwardens, two Lay Readers and members elected from the congregation who are on the Electoral Roll of the church (as we are currently interregnum there is no incumbent) Those who attend our services are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and to stand for election to the PCC. 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. ## **Administrative information** The Parish Church of St Mary & St Gabriel is situated in South Harting, West Sussex. It is part of the Diocese of Chichester within the Church of England. The correspondence address is The Rectory, The Street, South Harting, Petersfield. GU31 5QB. PCC members who have served at any time from 26 April 2023 until the date this report was approved are: ## **: Ex Officio members** Incumbent: Interregnum Churchwarden: Hatti Cossart and Sarah Wilcox ## **Elected members:** Peter Cragg (Treasurer), Julie Cragg (Secretary), Andrea Frears, Diane Hayman, Jane Hodgson, Alun Thomas, Jane Thwaites (Safeguarding) and Emma Overend ## **Electoral Roll Report 2024** The Electoral Roll has reduced slightly during the past year. We have lost Sue Jones, Caroline Norman, and Ken and Lin Button and their daughter. We have gained a few new additions, and the number now stands at 77, down from 81. Every 5 years the Electoral Roll needs to be rebuilt. This is due to happen again in 2025. At this time, we will ensure that all regular churchgoers and potential churchgoers from the wider community are approached in order to determine whether they would like to be included on the new Electoral Roll. It will be our intent to increase the number on the Electoral Roll to demonstrate what a vibrant and active church community we have here in Harting. Pete Cragg Electoral Roll Officer # **Parish of St Mary & St Gabriel, Harting Churchwardens report 2023** We are pleased to report that good attendance has continued at services following the Parish going into Interregnum. We have received support from everyone involved with the church which has proved most helpful. As wardens we have been writing for the Parish News to keep the Dear Friends column going. During this time we have been well supported by retired visiting vicars for our services and have been able to continue with a range of services throughout the benefice. Interviews for a new incumbent is to take place on 24th April at Bishops Palace. Hatti Cossart, Pete Cragg, John Cripps and Chris Thwaites, will be representing the Benefice. ## **Fabric of the Church;** Repairs to the roofing tiles were carried out at the end of 2023. Repairs to the parquet flooring has been completed. During the recent clearing of the belltower, two antique font covers were discovered. Now cleaned and polished, they both look beautiful and are interchanged in use on the font. One is Victorian; large and made of oak and seems to represent a crown.

Monthly cleaning by ourselves and other members of our church hugely improves the maintenance and state of the church. The Kit North-Lewis bench by the church gates has been carefully repaired by a goodly soul name unknown. The Lent Lunches this year raised £300 for FSW. Realistically we now need to look at arranging the next QQ which should be carried out every 5 years. ## **Deanery Synod;** Net Zero 2030 – Diocese aims to reduce 13,500 tonnes of CO2 emissions by 90% by 2030 at an estimated cost to the Diocese of £69 million. After 2025 churches will not be able to install new oil burners and expect other renewable energy sources to be found. There are 465 churches in the Diocese at a cost of £45,000 per church 75% of which are listed many a grade 1. The National Church will provide £190million over 6 years 2025-2030 split among the 42 Diocese. The Diocese see the funding coming from the parishes, fundraising and some Government grants. FSW Kirsty is kept very busy and she advised she would appreciate clothing and toys which she can collect.

However, there has been a change in policy in the Church of England in order to be compliant with the Law, which states that DBS checks _**are only required for volunteers if they are undertaking what is defined in the Act as ‘Regulated Activity’.**_ **Examples of what constitutes ‘** _**Regulated Activity’**_ **include: For Adults:** Providing healthcare. Providing personal care. Providing social work. Assisting with a person's own financial or affairs. ## **For Children:** Teaching, training or instruction of children where their parents/guardians are not present Day to day management or supervision on a regular basis where their parents/guardians are not present Providing health or personal care In our Benefice we don’t currently run a youth club, crèche or indeed any activities where under 18s are not accompanied and supervised by their parents or members of their families, nor are we involved in providing any of the above services to vulnerable adults or any adults. Having discussed our situation with the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor I was advised that it will not be necessary for PCC members, Church Wardens and others in volunteer roles in our churches to renew their DBS checks. Our new incumbent will have a DBS, and as many of the others are out of date, she advised that I should update my own DBS which had also lapsed, I was able to do this online. ## **Safeguarding Training** This is far more relevant and important to our situation and as you can see from the attached report, we are mostly up to date. Thank you all for taking the time to complete the training and updates. ## **Simple Quality protects** Both parishes are going to be assessed for this on Wednesday 15th May 2:30 - 3pm at St Richard's Maybridge. As this is the ONLY day and venue for the Archdeaconry of Chichester of which we are part, only Sarah Wilcox and I are able to attend. Please pray for us and wish us luck! |Surname|Role in our Benefce|Basic Awareness|Foundatons course
