s and Acllvlll
The primary objective of Sl Mary's PCC is Ihe promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according lo the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The PCC hos the
responsibility of co-operating wth the Dean in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole
mission of the Church, pastoral, evongelislic. social and ecumenical.
rhe PCC is responsible for the worship and general life of the church throughout the parish and
for the buildings al St Mory's sile. The Church of the Ascension and Churchyard at Telham are
owned by a seporote charity, Dean Crake's Gift. which has ils own managing Trustees.
Public benefit is achieved through Ihe provision of public worship: educotion of odulls and
children in the Chrislian faith," availability os a venue for Christian marriage services and
provision of funeral services and associoted postorol support. These are available lo all
parishioners within the legislative provision of the Church of England.
anc
As at 31st December 2020 there were 149 members of the Church Electoral Roll, of whom 37
were nol resident in the parish. The numbers hove remained foir1y sleady, despite the sad loss
of several members of the congregolions.
Prior to the 21s1 March 2020, the church was achieving similar ottendances to 2019. On 22n
March the whole county wenl into lockdown due lo the Covid-19 outbreok ond the churches
closed their doors. However. every Sunday. the Deon ond Revd Jeff Tutton celebrated
communion alone ot st Mary's ond Telham respectively. An online Sunday reflection was pre-
recorded ond made available via Facebook. and weekly pew5heets were continued and
emailed to all. with paper copies being hand delivered lo all those locally who di(J not hove
emoil oddresses. Both churches opened under strict Covid-19 health and safety restrictions on
Sunday 21 St June with 0 9.30om service at st Marys and a I￿rn service at Telham. Thursday
services were reslorted ot st Mary's again on 18th October and a 6pm Sunday service of
Evening Prayer or Compline on the 181h October. Sadly. rising infeclion rales forced the closure
of the churches again on the 71h November for four weeks. This time, servic8s were live
streamed from St Mary's. Both churches were open ogain from the 61h December, bul once
again only for one Sunday service. which also continued to be live streamed from Sl Mary's for
those who were still shielding or unoble to attend.
There were no school services all year. Due to the November Covid fier 4 restrictions
Remembrance was celebrated midweek by invitation only, outside for wreoth laying and a
short service.
A successful ouldoor 'Carols in the Churchyard, replaced the Advent and
Christmas Carol Services. Christingle was pre-recorded and released on Facebook on
Christmas Eve. ond 250 Christingle bogs, wlh the molerials lo make a Christingle ot home, had
been prepared and delivered to Battle & Langton school.

There were no weddings or baptlsms. but five funerals. Iwo burials of ashes and one
thanksgiving for marriage sermce took place ot st Mary's along with the licensing of the Revd
David Hazell. Telham hod one special setvice of Ihanksgiving for a porishioner.
The Dean. Revd Dovid Hazell and Alison Hossell IReaderl also performed a further 14 fvnerals at
the crematorium or Cemetery.
Overview
ffnanclal revlew ol Ihe
ear
l. The full PCC met seven times in 2020. some of the meetings by ZOOM. There were ￿0
special meetings with restricted agendas. The APCM was delayed to September. due to
Covid-19 restrictions. There were no meetings of the Slanding Committee.
2. The Dean and PCC would like to extend a speciol thonk-you lo the Pastorol Care leom.
who maintain a high level of contact ond care for the elderly, the sick. and housebound
during the Covid-19 Lockdown. Many thank5 also to the Sacristan ond his assistant for
their faithful services and lo all who cleon ond decorate both churches on a regular
basis. Additionally. thank you to everyone who helped to organise and njn the various
seNices, especially the retired clergy ond our Reade￿. Grateful thank5 goes to the
church Administrator who has tirelessly worked to keep things running smoothly through
this challenging time.
3. The PCC monaged to maintain ils pledge to the Diocese of Chichester of £31,100 despite
significant losses to its collections with the restrictions imposed by Covid-19. A further
payment of £31XQ from gift aid received on the XJ19 ononymous donotion was also
made. Sadly, we learned of the passing of our regular anonymous donor in 2020. The
pledge for 2021 reflected the loss of income from 2020 and the expected continued
decreased income for 2021 while Covid-19 reslrictions are still in place.
4. The PC received a bequesl of £5CCO from the estate of Marjorie Lovelock. While there
were no restrictions on the bequesl. the Dean ond PCC re501ved lo keep it 0$ designaled
funds for small projecls within the church rather than as general funds.
5. The church was unable to host any concerts or events during 2020. We hope to resume
Ihese activities once restrictions over Covid-19 are lifted and il is once agoin safe to do
so.
6. St Mary'5 Nursery completed its eighth year of operation at the beginning of September.
Following a speciol meeting of the PCC the Nursery was granted one final licence lo
occupy the Hall until August 31$1 2021. on an increased rent.
7. The Bottle branch of the Bexhill foodbank continued to operate from the BW centre. This is
an ecumenical venture and is in line with the dioceson encouragement Io 'serve the
common good,. The PCC chorges for this use of Ihe premises. but gives a 98% rebate as
part of its endeavovrs to 'serve the common good,. 11 was increasingly busy throughout
the year as the full effects of Covid-19 became apparent.
8. A summer food projecl wos launched to help feed the children of struggling families
during the summer holidays. This was funded by generous donations from parishioners
and a150 donations from the Muffins and Hastings Direct. Money not used and further
donotions made o Christmas Hamper project also viable. Further money is now reserved
for an Easter holidays project in 2021.

9. The Chrrstmas Tree Festival was sadly cancelled. but the church was decorated with
greenery. candles and a few trees. Battle Abbey School come in to record Carols for their
school ond for the church to release on Facebook over Ihe festive season. A Christmas
Carol Service was also recorded by the Deon with carols and readings and published on
Facebook and YouTube.
10. During 2020 the Parish Safeguarding Officer was Mrs Tracy Dixon. There were no
safeguarding issues during the year and the PCC hos complied with its duty *0 have 'due
regard, to the House of Bishops. Sofeguarding Policy ond Practice Guidance. The Dean
and Mrs Tracy Dixon renewed all three levels of safeguarding training. Level l of Simple
Quality Protects was assessed and approved and once the new churchwardens
complete Iheir safeguarding training a certificate of completion will be issued.
I l. Volunteers - The Church depends on the voluntory services of mony helpers in order to
offer such a wide range of activities.
12. In line with the Charity Commissions recommendation, it is PCC policy that the balance
on any unrestricted funds lexcluding propertyl should equate to al least nine months of
unrestricted expendilure (considering olso some relioble income) as a contingency
against unforeseen situations. This was true ot the closing balance 31 December 2020.
When planning our activitie5 for the yeor. the incumbent and the PCC have considered
the Chority Commission's guidance on pubfic benefil ond. in particulor. the specific
guidance on 'chorities for the advancement of religion,. In porticular we try to enable
local people to live out their faith 05 part of our parish community through..
al Worship and proyer; leoming about the Gospel: and developing their knowledge of,
and Irust in. Jesus:
bl Provision of pastoral care for peo living in the parish;
cl Missionary ond outreoch work.
To facilitote this work. it is importonl that we maintain the fabric of Sl Mary's in Battle.
