## **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 registered with the Charity Commission (no. 1141709). 

PCC Members are also Charity Trustees and must ensure compliance with charity law and church (ecclesiastical) law and exercise a duty of prudence and a duty of care. 

The method and appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules.  All regular church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and are thereby eligible to stand for election to the PCC. In 2009 the Annual Parochial Church Meeting agreed to electing 12 members for 3-year terms of office with casual vacancies filled by those with most votes and to suspend until rescinded, the 6-year rule for the term of office of a Churchwarden. 

The PCC continues to comply with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to House of Bishops' guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults). 

Other matters related to church and other legislation (compliance with Health and Safety and Disability Discrimination etc.) are brought to the notice of PCC members for review and action. 

_Page 3_ 



## **Committees** 

**The Standing Committee** is a statutory requirement and comprises the Vicar, Churchwardens, Treasurer, PCC Secretary and at least two, but no more than four, elected members from the PCC. This Committee meets, when required, and brings recommendations to PCC meetings on various matters, including those referred to it by the Council.  It has power to take decisions on behalf of the PCC when required. 

**Other committees or Task Groups** are formed and meet as required to consider various aspects of church life. 

## **Strategic Planning Team** 

With the onset of the lockdown due to Covid, a group of people have meet very regularly to look at the Government and Diocesan guidelines relating to what could and could not be done during lockdown.  This group of people spent endless hours reading the guidelines and agreeing on how to implement them.  Thanks is recorded to the team, who under Saju’s chairmanship, have worked hard to look at all that needed to be done to ensure safe opening of the church for worship and other activities. 

We also have, with formal terms of reference, Task Groups for Property, Finance, HR, Mission Links and Pre-School Management.  It is our intention that all members of the PCC sit on at least one of these groups and the clergy are members of each group by right.  The Property, Finance and HR Task Groups have meet as and when necessary. 

**St Mary’s Island District Church Council** operates with separate accounts and meetings under the leadership of the Vicar and the Focal Minister (lay position).  Their annual reports are published and sent to the Diocese separately, but we include them together with this report in our Charity Commission submission.  St Mary’s Island has its own District Council Scheme (i.e. its ‘constitution’) approved by Bishop’s Council and the Diocesan Registrar. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The role of the PCC is: 

To promote the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England and upholding the evangelical charismatic tradition of St Mark’s. 

To co-operate with the minister in promoting, in the parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. To accomplish this, we seek together through prayer to discern ‘the mind of the Lord’. 

To take responsibility for the right administration of the Church and its properties and, in conjunction with the Churchwardens and Treasurer, to make financial provision for staff salaries, Parish Indicative Offer, general maintenance and running costs as well as the various charitable needs. 

_Page 4_ 



To make considered decisions, after discussion and prayer, on behalf of the whole Church fellowship rather than simply promoting members’ individual or partisan interests. In the planning of activities, the PCC has considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. 

## **The Church’s Purpose Statement is ‘Living for Jesus, Loving Gillingham and Learning Together’** . **Review of the year** 

## **Church Attendance** 

## **The Electoral Roll for St Mark’s** 

The Electoral Roll was revised 10 May 2021 and the number on the roll is now 164. (170 for 2020). 6 people have been taken off the Roll. This is as follows: 

4 people have left to go to other churches or moved away. 2 are deceased. 

No new people have been added to the roll. 

## **The Electoral Roll for St Mary’s Island 2021** 

The roll for SMI is 53. (58 in 2020) 

This is as follows: 

Five people have moved out of the area and two have ceased to worship at SMIC. Two new applications have been included on the Electoral Roll for 2021. 

## **Total Electoral Roll number for St Mark’s Parish stands at 217** (228 for 2020) 

## **The attendance at major events was as follows:** 

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic our church buildings were closed for a large part of 2020.  During these periods, most normal services were maintained, live streaming from the church building and other venues, with attendees participating on Facebook and Zoom. 

The church building had social distancing capacity limit of approx. 50, plus those leading and ushering. 

People attending in person: Easter Day Service – 0 (223 in 2019) Christmas services – 0 (447 in 2019) 

In October, a study was carried out on Church attendance (in person) during the month.  The statistics showed: 

Average gross weekly attendance 49 (177 for 2019). 

Additionally, a substantial number of people viewed services and events online live and after the event on ‘catch up’.  The actual number who stayed connected for the entirety of an event is unknown. 

Prior to the building closure, the average weekly attendance was approximately 150. 

_Page 5_ 



The PCC will continue to use the full data to focus ministry accordingly and track trends in the future as the church emerges from the pandemic. 

## **Church Status PCC** 

During the year, the PCC met monthly, that being for much of the year virtually, using Zoom.  The Council remain focused on proper governance of our Church, but we have also spent time on discerning where God wants us to be as a Church and shaping a longer-term strategy for the work that is needed in the church building.  Details of the activities are covered in the more specific report of the PCC by the PCC Secretary, Vicky Allen.  Samuel Wilkins has contributed enormously by being Minutes Secretary throughout the year and we would like to thank him for all his hard work. 

## **Staff and elected roles** 

In the office Katie Jenkins/ Skinner continues as the Office Administrator.  Rob Byrne left the position of Intern/Operations Manager/ Vicar’s PA, in September and Vicki Watson and Hannah Whittaker began their roles as Vicar’s PA and Digital Lead respectively. 

Seun Adigun and Helen Towers were elected as Churchwardens in October, and we thank Raymond Shergill for his dedication and hard work as he steps down from the role of Churchwarden. 

## **Buildings** 

The PCC appointed an architect to carry out a feasibility study for possible development of the church and Vicarage Road sites.  Having reviewed a number of options produced, the PCC agreed to focus on the construction of a new kitchen in the church as a first phase of development.  A Structures, Building and Fabrics Group meets to study the project details and report back to PCC. The Fabrics, Goods and Ornaments report fully details all that has happened relative to our properties (see Statutory and Additional Reports booklet). 

## **Church Activities** 

As you will see from the many reports that have been submitted under Additional Reports, there are a vast array of activities that are undertaken in the life of St Mark’s.  This year has been particularly difficult with all the restrictions because of the Covid pandemic. Where possible activities have continued online. 

Quite a lot of the PCC time has been obviously taken up with things relating to continuing to engage with people with restrictions in place because of the Covid pandemic. 

With the support of the technical team, we have able to offer Sunday services and reflections and evening prayers six days a week throughout the difficult time, when we have not been able to meet physically. 

_Page 6_ 



**Dementia Café** , which had just begun with a few people attending.  This obviously had to be suspended during the year, but we look forward to this being able to re-start when we are able. 

**Private Prayer in Church.** Open Church had to be suspended during the year, but when it was possible the church has been open on Tuesday mornings to allow people to come in for private prayer **.** 

Simon Morbey has continued his position of Intern Youth Worker, and much of this has been online during the year. We will be sorry to see him move on to a new position in June 2021 and wish him every success. 

We are pleased that Christine Cordle has continued her responsibilities looking after the children’s work. 

We were saddened by the death of Keith Sheepwash, a longstanding member of St Mark’s, the PCC and many other activities.  Keith had an evangelistic heart and is remembered with affection. 

This has been a learning curve of moving services, and other meetings to virtual meetings during the year.  We are thankful that we have been able to do so using Zoom and Facebook to meet many of our digital needs. 

We are grateful to all who have enabled the many activities of St Mark’s to continue in one form or another during such an unusual and difficult period.  Thanks be to God that we have been able to worship Him in new and different ways. 

## **SDF** 

Three Church Plants “change projects” were created in 2019 and over the following five years, three part time salaried staff members, who will be employed by the Diocese and based at, but not limited to St Mark’s will work to grow their projects. 

These staff members are: 

**Gospel Plant Leader** – (Mayowa Oyinloye) who is responsible for the development and delivery of all music related aspects to promote the growth of the new ‘gospel’ congregation.  Mayowa took up her position in October 2019. 

**Community Pastor – Karen Turnbill** took up her position in October 2019 **.** Karen will establish a new worshipping community and runs a number of public activity sessions throughout the week. 

**Community Missioner – Christine Cordle** took up her role in May 2020.  Christine oversees the work of Mayowa and Karen, engages with a wide range of local community groups, partnerships with local schools and is looking to establishing new ‘Messy Churches’ in Gillingham. 

With Covid restrictions it has been difficult for them to undertake all they would have liked to have done during the past year, but hopefully moving forward we will see more progress. 

_Page 7_ 



## **St Mark’s Parish - St Mary’s Island Church (SMIC)** 

St Mary’s Island Church has continued to meet every week using Zoom as it has not been possible to meet in the school building for most of the year.  At the present time it is not known when the school Covid restrictions will be lifted, to enable the church to return. 

The full report of the activity of SMI Church is covered in a specific report within the Additional Reports document. 

## **St Mary’s Island C of E School (SMIS)** 

The school continues to flourish under the headship of Christine Easton. 

## **Financial review General Fund** 

At the beginning of 2020 financial year, we forecast a budget deficit on PCC unrestricted General Fund of £4,084 which included transfers between Repair and Pre-school Funds. The year finished with a deficit of £6,779, albeit this included an income accrual of £16,000 for unclaimed Gift Aid tax. Without this accrual applied, the deficit would be £22,779.  We received a reimbursement from the Diocese of £9,127 in respect of overpaid Council Tax and water charges.  This reimbursement has had a significant positive impact on our year end deficit.  Our total income at £159,727 was down compared to £164,284 in 2019, with expenditure almost the same at £162,683 compared to £162,725 in 2019. 

Donations (Voluntary Income) decreased to £125,705 from £139,076 in 2019 being lower than budget by £14,295.    The large drop in voluntary income was largely due to a reduction ‘loose offerings’ as a result of the church being closed for worship services, due to Covid restrictions, combined with a number of givers leaving the church for various reasons during the year.  Gift Aid tax recovered amounted to £22,503, including the income accrual, with £6,503 actually claimed and received.  This was lower than recent years, reflecting the reduction in voluntary giving.   We received Job Retention Scheme payments of £1,734 in respect of some of our church staff who were put on furlough due to Covid. 

Income continued to be supplemented by £10,895 rental for use of the Garden House by the Medway Campus Chaplain.  The cost of running our buildings (excluding the Garden House) was £3,651 higher than budget and staff costs £2,746 lower. 

Mission Giving was £9,500, compared to a budget of £15,900, being 10% of the previous year’s voluntary giving.  The balance of £4,400 was transferred to the Mission Fund as carry over to 2021. Based on 10% of donations received in 2020, our General Fund Away Giving in 2021 will be budgeted at £12,600. 

We paid £61,859 to the Diocese of Rochester, as our St Mark’s Parish Indicative Offer, being a contribution for parish clergy stipends and other diocesan support costs.  The total Parish Offer, combined with SMI Church contribution, was £75,000, which was 4.2% lower than 2019. 

_Page 8_ 



The General Fund cash at bank and in hand at 31 December 2020 was £38,319. After debtors and creditors adjustment the net current asset was £54,622.  This represents a ‘reserve’ of 31.9% of our 2021 forecast expenditure.   It should be noted that cash reserves are 22.4% of 2021 forecast expenditure. 

## **Other Funds** 

The total year-end balance in our Designated Repair Funds was £34,357 with a total of £5,226 transferred during the year. 

We paid architect’s fees of £4,144 from the Development Fund for carrying out a feasibility study on potential future development of the church and Vicarage Road sites. The Development Fund now has a balance of £7,315. 

The balance in the Mission Fund is £13,309, which includes £1,400 unallocated in 2020 and £3,000 earmarked transfer from General Fund Mission Giving.   During the year we donated a total of £1,350 from this fund.  Of the total in the fund, £8,000 is designated. 

The Vicar’s Discretionary Fund received no donations with discretionary spending of £347.  The fund current balance is £739. 

The India Fund had no income or expenditure, and the year-end balance of the fund is £10,492. 

The Reach at Gillingham Pier Restricted Fund is to support management of income and expenditure for this venture until it is more established.  Income received during the year was £2,293 with expenditure of £1,749.  The fund balance is £7,254. 

During the year £936 has been spent from the HYCFM Fund, leaving a balance of £3,094. 

£600 was spent from the Peace and Hope Fund towards the purchase of new chairs for the Vicarage Hall.  The current fund balance is £704. 

The Specific Donation Fund is to receive designated donations.  Income of £7,525 was received, with an expenditure of £4,290.  The fund balance is £5,055. 

An expenditure of £424 was incurred from the Small Funds for the funeral arrangements for a former member of the congregation.  The fund now has a balance of £76. 

The Strategic Development Fund is for the income and expenditure management of SDF projects. SDF funding can be drawn down periodically from the Diocese of Rochester.  To the year-end expenditure was £1,261, with a drawdown of £1,851, giving a fund balance of £529.  Further funds will be drawn down in 2021. 

Pre-school income from all sources was £111,209 and expenditure £103,495 giving a surplus for the year of 7,714 and a net surplus of £1,910 after transfer of £5,803 to General Fund.  This compares to a net surplus of £15,329 in 2019.  The Pre-school Fund balance is £63,808.  I would like to acknowledge the Pre-school team for maintaining a good financial performance again this year. 

_Page 9_ 



## **Reserve Policy** 

It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on free reserves (net current assets) to smooth out any fluctuations is cash flow and to meet emergencies.  The PCC agreed to maintain a General Fund minimum reserve policy of £55,000 for 2020. 

Net Current Assets (cash) held by the charity - £201,354. Restricted Funds - £112,374 Designated Funds - £34,357 

Unrestricted Funds (free cash reserves) - £54,622 which represents 31.9% of 2021 General Fund forecast expenditure and just below the target of £55,000. 

The Restricted Funds are earmarked for future projects and ongoing commitments.  The Designated Funds are earmarked potential expenditures but can be redirected for other use as directed by the PCC. 

## **Risks** 

The PCC continually considers and reviews the risks that could materially impact on the financial viability of the charity. 

2020 has seen a significant reduction in voluntary giving, partly due the Covid pandemic as a direct result of collections not being taken in church services.  While we believe this form of giving should be restored to its former level when services return to normal, there is no certainty when this will happen.  There may be a reluctance on the part of some church members to return to worship in the church building in person for a number of reasons.  Additionally, some members may have additional financial burdens resulting from Covid related causes, which could affect their level of giving. 

Due to lack of voluntary resource with the right expertise, it has not been possible to submit a Gift Aid claim since April 2020.  While this will be claimed retrospectively, delays in making submissions would impact on cash flow and level of cash reserves, which are 22.4% of 2021 forecast expenditure. 

The PCC reviews the financial status each month and will take actions to mitigate the risks as required.  With our current level of unrestricted reserve and designated funds available, we consider the financial risk to be low. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees have considered the going concern status of the charity and conclude that there are no material uncertainties affecting the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. This has also been considered in the context of Covid-19 and the cash position at the date of signing along with future cash projections. 

_Page 10_ 



## **2021 General Fund Budget** 

The PCC has approved the final 2021 V1 budget, with a year-end forecast deficit of £8,923. Voluntary income has been assumed as £132,500, a reduction of £7,500 compared to the 2020 budget. 

## **Summary** 

It seems to me this annual meeting has come around sooner than I expected it to. Remember we had one in October 2020? Nevertheless, it has been a season of learning. To be a disciple of Jesus most fundamentally is to be a learner. The last 400 days of the pandemic has been a time of learning. The learning curve has been steep for some and for others our learning has been in the process of being given the time to pause, reflect, take stock and for many of us discern what really is important in life. Let us not forget that it has also been an extraordinarily tough time for many, and we thank God for his provision in what has been and continues to be a bewildering year in so many ways. The mission ministry and the work of St Mark’s stand on the shoulders of countless committed, talented and faithful people who seek to live for Jesus, love this town and learn together. We are grateful to God for the generosity of members of the congregation who give sacrificially of their time and money, and for the grace of God that has enabled us all to work together. I am grateful to God for the PCC who are prayerful and wise in its responsible management of our resources. There are still considerable financial challenges to face if we are to sustain and grow our ministries in Gillingham and we recognise the need for careful planning and monitoring of our expenditure. The PCC is aware that the year ahead will bring with it fresh challenges but have trust that God will enable us to do all that he calls us to do as we live for Jesus, love Gillingham and learn together. Despite the many challenges of the pandemic, I have found that our parish is a place where beautiful things happen each and every day. 

Our witness as a Church community is best served by the way we welcome; we serve and care. This report, and the additional reports, despite the many pauses, show how much our congregation is committed to blessing our local neighbourhood which suffers like other deprived areas from the injustices and inequalities in society. Of course, not everything is recorded, and I am grateful for everyone’s contributions whether they are written down or not. There are so many people who have guided, inspired, refined, enriched contributed and engaged in serving the church in large ways and small, visible and invisible- and I express my thanks for all those people who do so much in the life of the church. It is so important to remember God’s wonderful faithfulness as we look back over the years and to continue to trust Him as we look forward to the years ahead, whatever that might hold for us. 

Thank you.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the PCC of St Mark’s Church, Gillingham** 

This Report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out in this Annual Report, is in respect of an examination carried out under Regulation 3(3) of the Church Accounting Regulations (“the Regulations”) and s.145 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

## **Respective responsibilities of the PCC and the examiner** 

As the members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 3(3) and section 144(2) of the Act do not apply. It is my responsibility to issue this Report on those accounts in accordance with the Regulations. 

## **Basis of this Report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act and to be found in the Church accounting guidance, issued by the Archbishop’s Council. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. 

## **Independent Examiner’s statement** 

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 Act; and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the Act and the Regulations 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.
