The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Councll (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 Representatlon 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12 members for 3-year terms of office with casual vacancies filled by those with most votes and to suspend until rescinded, the 6-year rule for the term of office of a Churchwarden.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

Total Funds held by the charity- £244,876. Re5trlcled Funds- £122,758 Designated Fund8- £65,876 Unrestricted Funds (reserve) - £56,242 which represents 33.5Yo of 2024 General Fund foreoast expenditur8. The Restricted Funds are earmarked fDr future projects and ongoing commitments. Th8 Designated Funds are earmarked potential expenditures but can be redirected for other uses as directed by the PCC. Rlsk8 The PCC continually considers and reviews the risks thal could materially impact on the financial viabilrty of the charity. The level of voluntary giving Increased during 2023 and going fonmard we trust that the increase of new people altending church will in turn increase the overall level of giving. Some members, Page 9
however, will have additional financial burdens resulting from the high interest rates and price increases. The cost of energy will continue to impaGI on the cost of running our buildings. While we have secured a competitive tariff through the Parish Buying scheme for electricity, our gas contracts are due for renewal at the bèginning of next year. We are confident that these will be significantly lower than our current tariffs and indications are that prices could continue to fall. With Mike Young 8Stablished as voluntary Gkft Aid Secretary, our Gift Aid GlaiTns will be processed in a timely manner. This combined with our membership of the Parish Giving Scheme, where Gift Aid claims are processed on our behalf. has removed the risk ol losing Gift Aid entitlem8nt. Th2 PCC reviews the financial status each month and will take actions to mitigate the Tisks as required. With our current level of unrestricted reserve and designated funds available, we consider the financlal risk to be low. Golng concern The trustp.es have considered the going concern status of the charity and conclude that there ara no material uncertainties affecling the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern. This has also been considered In the context of cost-of-living challenges and the cash position at the date of signlng along with future cash projections. 2024 General Fund Budget The PCC has approved the final General Funcl 2024 V1 budget, with a yearond forecast deficit of £10,718 and an assumed voluntary income of £125,000, Summary This year has seen a number of changes, challenges and encouragements in the life of St Mark's. The report and the additional reports are a testimony to the many aclivilies and divefslty wilhin our church membership. We are thankful for all those who give of their time and talents lo further God's Kingdom here in Gillingham, whether their contributions are written down of not. We are encouraged and excited to have seen many engage in farth and church life through our monthly prayer meetings, and our bi-annual Alpha COLirses. Over 50 members of St Mark's attended the New Wine summer Camp at the Detling Campsite here in Kent. Our witness as a church community is best served by the way we welcome., we serve and care. Our congregation is committed to blessing our local community, which suffers like other deprived areas from the injustices and inequalities in society. We look forwaid to the completion of our new church kitchen and being able to use it for hospitality within the community as well as the church fellowship. We pray that many may be blessed through Ihls ministry. We still face financial challenges, particularly due to Ihe impact of cost of living increases and are thankful for the sacrificial giving by so many that enables His work to continue here and beyond. We trust that God will continue to meet our needs as He has done in the past on many occasions. As we glance back over the past year with thanksgiving, we thank God that we are able to freely meet and worship together without threat or fear, when so many in our world today fa repression Page 10
and danger. We thank God that he sustsins and cares for us and continue pray forthose in need at this time. As we look fOard with expectstion to what God has in store for us in 2024 we pray that we may be lights in a dark world. Signed on behalf of the Parochial Church Council by the Chair on
