Trustees Annual Re ort for 2022 p

Our aims and purposes as a charity

The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Revd Stephen Mills, in:

The PCC has maintenance responsibilities for St Wilfrid’s Church and Community Hall Complex, Durnford Close, Chichester, PO19 3AG. In addition, the new Vicarage in Durnford Close was completed in February 2021, and the PCC is now responsible for the upkeep.

What we planned to do to achieve our charitable objectives

When planning our activities for the year, our incumbent and the PCC have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on ‘charities for the advancement of religion.’

The council has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, fully recognising its duty to have due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.

For this year, we discussed and planned the following objectives and activities to fulfil our aims:

What we achieved and how we affected beneficiaries’ lives

Attendance at worship

St Wilfrid’s church welcomes visitors from within as well as outside the parish boundary. Visitors attend by personal choice, and it is our great pleasure to welcome anyone from all walks of life to take part in the life of

the church. We also welcome a number of families who have the intention of sending their children to Bishop Luffa School as church attendance is a requirement of entry.

At the end of 2022, there were 118 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll. Of these, 56 reside in the parish and 62 reside outside of the parish. David Stevens acted as our Electoral Roll Officer until April 2022, when Amber Simmons took over the role. The average regular weekly attendance, counted during October, was 79 adults and 34 children, with the number increasing on both Harvest Sunday and our Patronal Festival. Over the course of the year, we have seen a steady rise in service attendance, and it has been a great encouragement to welcome new families to St Wilfrid’s.

We look to encourage the deepening of faith for all ages, and alongside our regular services there is a Junior Church run by a dedicated group of volunteers and a monthly family service in which children are encouraged to participate. St Wilfrid’s also has the benefit of the priest, Fr Stephen Mills, holding the position of Chaplain to Bishop Luffa and we welcomed Year 7 students to attend their first school Eucharist.

2022 marked the second year of Fr Stephen’s ministry at St Wilfrid’s. The Paschal Triduum of Easter and Holy week was celebrated with reverence and sacramental beauty.

During the year, having previously received the sacrament of one kind, the chalice was reintroduced with the permission of the Bishop.

The new format for services at St Wilfrid’s has changed considerably since the introduction of AV screens to replace pew sheets. This has added a new dimension to our worship as we have been able to embrace a new level of creativity using pictures, video, and sound, as well as words. This has been well received and continues to enhance the act of worship.

For the patronal festival in October, Fr Andrew preached. This was a well-attended service, followed by a church shared lunch.

Christmas is a very special time of celebration where many sections of the community come together to join in the services. Children and adults alike join in, and memories are made. This year, we were able to welcome the community to a well-attended Christingle service, a traditional 9 Lessons and Carols. The Crib service on Christmas Eve saw a record of 115 children and adults, with Junior Church members performing the Nativity and donkeys in attendance.

Our Sunday morning congregation continues to grow steadily, particularly new families and younger people. Fr Stephen has identified these groups as essential to nurture in the faith as they are the future stones on which St Wilfrid’s will be built. Services at times have numbered up to 100 in attendance and this continues to be a blessing to the church.

Wednesday morning services have a faithful group of regular attendees made up of more senior members of our community. They show a great level of commitment to St Wilfrid’s, of which we are very grateful. They are the foundation on which we continue to build the church and we thank them for their time, energy, and prayer in the time they have been attending St Wilfrid’s.

Teaching, baptising, and nurturing new and existing believers

It was with great delight that we celebrated the baptism and confirmation of 15 candidates who are now fully fledged members of the Anglican communion. It has been a privilege to see them grow in faith and go on to be active members of our community by serving the church in a number of ways. We welcomed Jenny Foakes, who was licensed as a lay reader to St Wilfrid’s in the Spring.

This year, we were able to run a Lent course, which Jenny kindly facilitated. The PCC Away Day took place in October, with the help of The Revd Canon Rob Dillingham.

During the year, there have been baptisms and a wedding of two faithful members of our congregation. The Sidesmen's rota has not yet been re-established following the pandemic and the churchwardens have been carrying out this task. For those who would like to become involved, it is anticipated that following the APCM volunteers will be sought, and a new list and rota will be set up.

Mary Davies stepped down as Sacristan at St Wilfrid’s in the Spring and thanks are given for her time and efforts in this role. Dr Simon Hawkes has kindly assisted with Sacristan duties when he able and we express gratitude to him for this.

Barry Newton stood down as our Director of Music at the end of December 2022. Barry will be very much missed, and St Wilfrid’s wishes him the very best.

We would like to thank Amber, Jenny, Helen, Jayne, Becky and John for their loyal commitment to the choir during the year. Anyone who likes singing will always be welcome to join.

Our flower team, headed by Val Redford, continues to create stunning floral arrangements that reflect the seasons and the liturgical calendar of the year. We offer them great thanks for their continued commitment.

Following the APCM in April, a new PCC was formed with a considerable number of new and enthusiastic members. Justin Redford was elected as Churchwarden, joining Jo Simmons in this role, alongside Sue Whitmore-Jones as Treasurer and Lucy Vann as Secretary. Newly elected PCC members included Cath Beddoes, Helen Dilling, Joan Gale, Natalie Gale-Chambers, Christine Gay, Dr Simon Hawkes, Terry Rhone and Melanie Teasdale.

Jo Simmons and Joan Gale were subsequently elected as Deanery Synod representatives by the PCC, these positions having previously been vacant. In October, the Deanery held the annual review of the Parish Share at St Wilfrid’s, with Jo, Joan and Fr Steve in attendance.

Junior Church ran throughout the year, under the leadership of Helen Dilling until November; Amber Simmons then kindly took over this role. We have seen a steady increase in the number of new families joining our congregation, and we are delighted to be offering the children a tailored worship session during the service in the church hall, learning through activities to nurture children and young people in their faith using arts and crafts, games, and cookery. Our secondary school children are undertaking the role of helpers to help guide and support during these worship sessions, giving them the opportunity, confidence, and skills to grow as Christians.

Additionally, we wish to thank Anna Hamilton for her role as Parish Safeguarding Officer, who handed over the reins to Jenny Foakes. Jenny has worked closely with the children and the team to ensure all staff and volunteers are acting in a position of trust, and there were no significant safeguarding issues during the year that Jenny is aware of.

Evangelism and outreach

There were highlights during the year, including a celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, Summer BBQ, patronal shared lunch, and the Summer and Christmas fayres. The Summer BBQ was well attended and held in the vicarage garden, with many people enjoying themselves late into the evening. The patronal shared lunch provided an opportunity for the church to come together, enjoy a shared lunch and mark our patronage of St Wilfrid. A good time was enjoyed by all.

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT AND ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT

In 2022, we were able to hold our both a Summer fayre in July and a Christmas fayre in December, which were very well attended by the community and saw profits of £981 and £965 respectively. We would like to thank those who worked hard in organising and running these events. They were a great success, and it was wonderful to see members of the community, who are not regular church attendees, engaging with the church and its members. A quiz night was also held in November, raising a further £227. Cake sales also saw an additional £225 being raised.

A craft group for the community has been established and takes place in church after the Wednesday service. We give our thanks to Kealey Goldie and Jas Osborne for setting this up.

Fr Stephen continued to maintain strong links with local primary schools as he worked with them under the banner of Chaplain to Bishop Luffa School. An exciting project that developed in the parish was the foundation of a youth church that meets at Bishop Luffa, called The Church at Luffa. Fr Stephen worked closely with the students of Bishop Luffa, nurturing leadership as the students are empowered to lead this growing congregation. The congregation is made up of young people aged 7-11, and it continues to grow rapidly. The service is Eucharistic in nature and Mass is celebrated weekly in the form of an Anglo Catholic expression.

Fr Stephen has also identified an opportunity for St Wilfrid’s to engage with the new housing estate that lies within the parish boundaries, Minerva Heights, and its people.

It is intended that through a collaboration between St Wilfrid’s, Bishop Luffa School, and the diocese, a new church building called the Holy Seraphim will become a church plant within the parish of St Wilfrid’s. This will act as a new church for Minerva Heights, a chapel to the school, and a home for The Church at Luffa. This is a very exciting opportunity for St Wilfrid’s as the Holy Seraphim will be a daughter church to St Wilfrid’s and will reflect the traditions of the catholic parish of St Wilfrid’s; however, this remains at the planning stage.

Provision of the church building for people to enjoy

The hall continues to be used by the regular hirers from previous years. In addition, the hall and church were used for COVID vaccinations during 2022, providing a much-needed resource for the local community and raising additional income for the church. It is anticipated that this service will during 2023, dependent upon the national vaccination programme continuing.

The timetable below shows the hall is booked almost to capacity. The weekends do not have regular bookings but are the most popular days of the week for ad-hoc bookings and allow the hall to be used for church activities, which are likely to fall on a weekend.

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT AND ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT

Some of the church activities that the hall has been used for in 2022 include the celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, the Patronal lunch, Summer and Christmas fayres, the quiz night, as well as regular tea and coffee after church services on a Sunday.

As we look ahead to 2023, we will be redesigning the website to make it easier for potential hirers to find information about the hall, hire charges and how to get in contact with us to book.

A handover of tasks and responsibilities for the hall from David Stevens to Jas Osborne and Kealey Goldie took place in November. St Wilfrid’s expresses heartfelt thanks to David for all he has done, with the management of the hall bookings, contracts, invoicing and maintenance now being managed from a central email address (stwilfridshall@hotmail.com). We would also like to thank Jas and Kealey for stepping into the role and all they have already done.

Spatial reordering of the church building and future projects

The PCC explored the possibility of developing and enhancing the hall’s capacity to generate a larger income, creating a more productive space for the church to engage with the community in its mission. Unfortunately, this project proved too expensive and other options for the space will be explored.

Having previously received a National Lottery grant for improvements to the kitchen, plans were drawn up, and a new kitchen and cooker are due to be installed in Spring 2023.

The issue of water leaking into the church was resolved with the clearing of the gutters. However, the churchwardens have identified that the heating system in the church will need updating due to its age and capability, and insulation also needs to be improved.

Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish

St Wilfrid’s has a pastoral team, led by Jeanette Knott, in collaboration with Fr Stephen. This team becomes ever more important as the congregation of St Wilfrid’s becomes more aged and may come to rely more on the friendship and support this group offers.

During the year, Fr Stephen continued to offer support for the bereaved members of the parish through home visits and ongoing friendship. St Wilfrid’s continues to pray for the sick and deceased during our weekly act of worship. This is also done through our weekly communicated newsletter.

Provision of tangible support to the poor and needy

St Wilfrid’s continues to be an active giver to several charities, including Stonepillow and Chichester Foodbank. We have monthly collections, and these charities are very grateful for our contributions. During our harvest festival, they received a bumper collection due to the generosity of the congregation.

For Christian Aid, we were able to make a donation of £118, something that the church has historically done and will continue to do in future. A collection in support of those affected by the conflict in Ukraine raised £231 and the annual Christingle service raised £80 for the Children’s Society.

Other charitable giving

At this time, St Wilfrid’s is not financially in a position to support additional charitable causes, however, in future will seek opportunities as agreed by the PCC.

Special thanks and gratitude from the Churchwardens

2022 was a busy year at St Wilfrid’s and it was a pleasure to see large numbers in attendance at our services, with a true community developing and a large number of new families experiencing worship.

The vicarage has been well used during the last year, including for Standing Committee meetings, and we welcomed our community to join us for the Summer BBQ, and afternoon drinks and nibbles for potential Bishop Luffa young people and parents. We thank Fr Steve and David for their hospitality and opening up their home with a warm welcome to all.

With the considerable growth in Junior Church members, our gratitude goes out to all of the Junior Church volunteers, without whom this would not happen.

The newly formed social and fundraising committee have thrown themselves in and organised our tea rota, meaning we can enjoy post-service refreshments and fellowship every week. A special thank you goes to Helen Dilling, Melanie Teasdale and Cath Beddoes for organising our fayres and social events.

Sue Whitmore-Jones stood down as our treasurer in November and William Freemantle then undertook the role. We would like to offer our thanks for their assistance and commitment to our church and community.

Also in November, we received the very sad news that Fr Steve would be leaving St Wilfrid’s in early 2023 to take up a new position as Vicar of St Mary’s the Virgin in Finedon, Northamptonshire.

During the time Fr Steve has been with us, he has made a huge impact on the lives of many people, bringing new members into the church and introducing them to the Christian faith. His services were engaging, and his down-to-earth and welcoming nature put people at ease. David provided a invaluable source of support and took on a great number of tasks without quibble, for which we will be eternally grateful. Everyone at St Wilfrid’s wishes them both (plus their dogs Edna and Mabel) every success in their new home.

We look forward to working in partnership with all of our trustees and volunteers in 2023 as we continue to build God’s church in Parklands.

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT AND ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT

Financial Review

The total receipts in 2022 were £141,597, which is an increase of £67,484 compared to 2021. The total paid on all funds within 2022 was £81,074, which is an increase of £3,705 compared to 2021. This is detailed in the Financial Report.

Income

Room/Hall hiring fees increased by £7,918 due to a new regular hirer of the hall (including accrued income). Planned giving decreased by £7,275. The proceeds from the summer and winter fayres, less costs, amounted to £2,374 (including accrued income). The parish received a very generous legacy of £90,682.

The parish also received a grant of £2,000 from the St John's Trust to be put towards a Youth Worker role which has been added to a Restricted Fund.

Expenditure

The largest expenditure of the PCC in 2022 was the sum of £50,000 paid to the Diocese to cover ministry costs. This amount covers the housing, stipend and pension costs of the clergy and also a standard sum for diocesan central costs, clergy training and a contribution to national church funds. As per the financial arrangements for clergy, the parish covers the council tax, water and phone expenses of the incumbent which amounted to £4,799.

Summary

2022 is the first year since the pandemic where the church and church hall have been able to operate as before and meant also that there were two church fayres to help raise more funds.

RESERVES POLICY

It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on the general unrestricted funds which equates to at least six months’ worth of unrestricted payments as contingency against unforeseen situations. The balance of £44,072 has been increased to the previous figure of £55,000 and can be undesignated by the PCC as necessary.

This designated fund is for the purpose of improvements to the church and hall buildings which are still being planned.

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT AND ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT

Independent Examiner’s Report to the PCC of St Wilfrid’s Church, Parklands for the Year Ended 31[st] December 2022

This is my report to the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish (PCC) of St Wilfrid’s, Parklands, on the annual report for the year ended 31[st] December 2022 set out on pages 10 to 17

Respective The PCC members are responsible for the preparation of the annual reports. The PCC responsibilities of members consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the trustees and examiner Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

  1. examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,

  2. to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and

  3. to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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 In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention examiner's statement which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
