East Sussex BN21 1BF Structure, Govarnance and Management The Parochlal Church Councll is a corporate body, 8Stablished by the Church of England. The PCC operates undor 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 wlth charity law and church (ecclesiastical) law and exercise a duty of prudence and a duty of care. The Trustees hav8 paid due regard to the public benefit guidance issuad by the Charfty Commlssion in deciding what actlvltles the charlty should take. 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 alection to the PCC. In 2009 the Annual Parochial Church Meeting agreed to electing 12 members for 3-year temis of office with casual vacancies filled by those with most votes and to suspend until resGinded, the &year rule for the term of office of a Churchwarden. The PCC continues to comply with the duty under seGtion 5 ofthe Safeguarding and Clorgy Dlsclpline Measure 2016 {duty to have due regard to House of Bishops, guidance on safeguarding Ghildren and vulnerable adults). Other matters r8lated to church and other legislation (compliance with Health and Safety and Dlsability DisGrimlnation etc.) are brought to the notice of PCC members for review and aGtion. Page 2
Commlttees The Standing Commlttee is a ststutory requirement and comprises the Vicar, Churchwardens, Treasurer, PCC Secretary and at least one, but no more than four. elected members from the PCC. Thls Committee m8ets, when required, and brlngs recornmendations to PCC meetings on various matters, including those refeed to it by the Counoil. 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. We also have, with formal terms of reference, Task Groups for Property, Finance, HR, Mission Links and Pre-school Management. It is our intentlon that all members of the PCC sit on at least one of Ihese groups and the clergy are members of each group by right. Th8se groups have met as and when necessary and reported back to PCC with recommendations. st Mary's Island Dlstrlct Church Councll operates with separate accounts and me8ting8 under the leadership of the Vlcar and the Focal Minister (lay position). Their annual reports are published and sent to the Diocese separately, but we include them togeth8r wlth this report in our Charity Commlssion submisslon. St Mary's Island has its own District Councll Scheme (l.e, its 'constttutlon') approved by Blshop's Coun¢ll and the Dlocesan Registrar. Objectives and Activltles The role of the PCC Is: To promote the Gospel of our Lord Jesus ChrSst according to th8 doctrines and practices of the Church of England and upholding th8 evangellcal charismatic tradltion of St Ma'S. To co-operate with the minlster in promoting, in the parlsh, the whole mls8ion of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic. social and ecumenical. To accomplish this, we seek togetherthrough prayer to discem 'th8 will of the Lord,. To take responsibility for the right administration of the Church and its properties and, in conjunction with the Churchwarden5 and Treasurer, to make financial provision for staff Salaries, Parish Indicative Offer, general maintenance and running costs as well as th8 various charitabl8 needs. To make considered decisions, after discussion and prayer, on behalf of the whole ChurGh 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 adVanrnent of religlon. Page 3

Church Status PCC During the year, the PCC met manthly (apart from in February when the Standlng Commlttee rnet). The Council remain focused on proper governance of our Church. and have also spent time on éisceming where God wants us to be as a Church.

Details of the activities are covered in the more speclfic report of the PCC by Ihe PCC Secretary, VIGky Allen. staff and elected roles In the church office Eve Martin r8signed as part-time Administrative Assistant, and she finished working at St Mark's at the end of July after years. Wè were sorry to see her leave and we wish her well. Careful consideration was given as to what tasks needed to be contlnued and what additional requirements needed to be covered. The PCC agreed to Siobhan Bolton, the Church Administrator, being offered an amendrnent to her contract to take on some tasks that the Treasurer needs help with on a day-to-day basis, and also to include the Data Protection Officer role. This new arrangement became gffective from August 2024. In January Jonica Thomas, the Part-Time Admlnlslrator at st Mary's Island Church, was offered redundancy as the role of Administrator was mostly belng covered by other members of SMIC. We wlsh Jonica w811 as she continues to serve in an administratlV8 capacity elsewhere. Shlrley Rogers was licensed to the Parlsh of St Mark's wnh St Mary's185and as Reader. She will primarily minister at st Mary's Island Church. In March Stan Brown, who cleaned the Old Vicarage, retired after many years of cleaning both the church and Old Vicarage. We thank Stan for all that he has contributed and wish hlm well in his retirement. The PCC agreed that the cleaning will now be carrled out by cleanlng company. Frank Howard dld not stand for re-election as Churchwarden. and we wer8 pleased to welcome Colette Wentz81 alongside Karen Dy8r to b8 elected as our Churchwardens. We thank Frank and Karen for all they had undertaken during Ihe previous year. Buildlngs The new church kitchen and AV desk was completed at th8 end of May 2024 and officlally opened and blessed by The Bishop of Rochester- Bishop Jonathan on the 161h June 2024. We are grateful to Chrls Gladwell and others who worked to bring this project to completion. A number of minor routlne maintenance jobs were carried out on the church. Some of the chairs were replaced wlth some used chairs kindly donated by Gillingham Salvatlon Army. In accordance with Church of England requlrements, the church buildlng was subjected to a fi've yearly (Quinquennial) inspection by a Diocesan approved Architect during October 2023. The Inspectorfs report made a number of observations requiring repairs to be undertaken. Most of this work ha5 yet to be started. The Old Vicarage and Garden House have undergone some minor maintenance work during the year, together with some signtficant guttering and facia r8pairs to the Vicarage Hall. Page 5
The PCC is grat8ful to those who volunteer to oversee and keep our buildings In good condition. Church Activltles As you will see from the many reports that have been submitted under Additional Reports, there are a vast array of activities that are und8rtaken in the life of St Mark's. The main regular activities were.. Home Groups and Tri05, Open Church, Dementia Café, Parent and Toddlers, Children's Church, Ladies Group, Youth Group, Peace and Hope Group, Pre-school. Foodbank. Children's Church continues to meet in the Vicarage Hall. We hope to be able to find a way for the group to me8t closer to the church bulldlng. We are grateful to Kar8n Dyer and Katie Blewett for leading this worl(, supported by others. The Youth Group, for secondary youth ran during the year in collaboration with St Augustine's church, meeting monthly with a wide range of activities including bible studies and social events. We have continued to broadcast our servicas, apart from All Age services, uslng Facebook and YouTube durlng the year, to enable those people to participate, who are not able to attend in person. A monthly Prayer meetlng has run every first Wednesday of the month in the Vicarage Hall. We have also run two Alpha Courses during the year, one being a Youth Alpha. Since Bible Stream first started in 2017, all 66 books of the bible have now been studled and taught. Completion of the 66th book was celebrated at 8 morning service in January 2024, which was also the final Blble Stream for now. We give thanks to all those who have prepared and 8xpounded GCKJ'S Word so faithfully over thls tlme. We were saddened by the passlng of Graham Wilkins In January 2024. Graham served St Mark's and its people falthfully throughout his many years of SeiCe. We are especially thankful for his steadfast loadership in musical worship which brought loy to so many. His unwaverlng commltment to Blble Stream reflected his passion for sharing the truth and meaning of the Bible wlth others. Our prayers are with Suzanne and family. We were pleased that Dr Jess Mahdavi-Gladwell and Trevor Dyer enrolled for the Dioce59 of Rochester Bishop's Certrficate. This 15 a lay training Christian Ministry course. which can lead on to becoming 8 Licensed Lay Minister. We were also encouraged thal a number of people undertook the Diocese training courses on Hearing God's Word, Speaking God's Word and Loading Worship. We are grateful to all who have enabled and helped sustain the many activlties of St Mark's. By God's grace, we have been able to continue worshipping and serving Him in diverse and meaningful ways.

Financial Review General Fund For 2024 financial year, we forecasl a budget deficit on PCC unrestricted General Fund of £10,718, which included transfers between Repair and Pre-school Funds. The year finished with a deficit of £4,225. 8efore transfers, our total income at £143,973 was down compared to £149,014 In 2023. with expenditure up at £152.125 Gompared to £149,064 In 2023. Donations (Voluntary Income) decreased to £125,339 from £127,784 in 2023 being higher than budget by £339. Donations Includes Gift Ald tax recovered amounted lo £25,505, including the income accrual. Income from the Parlsh Givlng Scheme was £53,284 plus Gift Ald. Income eontlnued to be supplemented by rental for the Garden House of £13,020 for the year, paid by Ihe Diocese to provide housing provision for the Medway Campus Chaplain. For expenditure, the total runnlng costs for our buildings were lower than budget by approx. £3,422. Youth and children and evangelism were both lower than budget. Mission Glving from General Fund was £12,800 and based on 100/¢ of donations received in 2024, our General Fund Away Glving in 2025 will be budgeted at £12,500. We paid £59,991 to the Dlocese as our St Mark's Parlsh Indlcative Offer. The total Parish Offer, wmblned with SMI Church contribution, was £74,499 whlch was 2% hlgher than 2023. The General Fund cash at bank and in hand at 31 December 2024 was £52,015. After debtors and ¢r8ditors adjustment the net current asset was £52,017. Thls represents a 'reserve' of 31.1 OA of our 2025 forecast expenditure. The PCC maintalned th8 mlnimum Reserve Policy for 2024 of £55,000. The Reserve Policy will be reviewed by the PCC annually. Cash reserves are also 31.10A of 2025 forecast expenditure. Other Funds For Income, expenditure and transfer details for Other Funds, please refer to End of Year Financial Ststements Reserve Pollcy It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on free reserves (net curr8nt assets) to smooth out any fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The PCC maintained a Ganeral Fund minimum reserve policy of £55,000 for 2024. Total Funds held by the chariiy- £160,487. Restricted Funds- £69,672 Designated Funds- £38.798 Unrestricted Funds {reserve)- £52,017 which represents 31.1% of 2025 General Fund forecast expenditure. Page 8
The Restrtcted Funds are earmarked for future projects and ongoing commitments. The Designated Funds are earmarked potentlal expenditures but can be redirected for other uses as directed by the PCC. Risks The PCC contir)ually considers and reviews the risks that could materlally Impact on the flnancial viability of the charity. Th8 level of voluntary giving reduced by a small amount during 2024 and going forward we trust that the increase of new people attending church wlll in turn increase the overall level of giving. Some members, however. will have additional financial burdens resulting from cost- of-living preSsUs. The hlgh cost of energy wlll continue to Impact on the cost of running our buildings. While we have malntained a competitive tariff through the Parish Buying scheme for electrtclty, our gas contracts are due for renewal at the beginning of next year. We are confidant they can be secured al a competitlve rate. With Mike Young as voluntary Glft Ald Se¢tary, our Gift Aid cl8lm5 wlll be processed in a timely manner. This comblned with our membership of the Parish Giving Scheme, where Glft Aid Claims are processed on our behalf. has removed the risk of loslng Gift Aid entitlement. The PCC revlews the financlal status each month and will take actlons to mltlgate the rlsks as required. With our current level of unrestricted reserve and designated funds available, we consider the financlal risk to be low. Going concern The trustees have consldered the going concem status of the charity and conclude that there are no material uncertainties affecting the ability of the charlty lo continue as a going concern. This has also been considered In the Gontext of cost-of-living challenges and the cash posltlon at the date of signing along with future cash projections. 2025 General Fund Budget The PCC ha5 approved the final General Fund 2025 V1 budget, wlth a year-end forecast deficlt of £10.656 and an assumed voluntary income of £125,000. Summary This year has brought many changes, challenges, and encouragemènts to the Ilfe of St Mark's. The report, along with additlonal reports, highlights the diversity and dedication within our church community. We are deeply grateful to all who have given their time and talents to further God's Kingdom here In Gilllngham, whether their contributions are recorded or not. It has been Inspiring to see so many engage in faith and church life through our monthly prayer meetings, bi-annual Alpha courses, Messy Church, Holiday Clubs and other activities. Page 9
As a church, our greatest wltness comes through how we welcome, serve, and care. Our congregation remains committed to blessing the local communiiy, which, like many other areas, faces social injustices and inequalities. We are thankful that our new church kilchen has been cornpleted, allowlng us to extend hospitality both wrthin the fellowship and beyond. We pray that this ministry will contlnue to be a source of blessing for many. While financial challenges persist, especlally with the ongoing cost of living crlsls, we remain thankful for the sacrificial generosity of so many. which enables God's work to continue here and beyond. We trust that, as He has in the past, God will continue to provide for our needs. Looking back on this year with gratitude. we thank God for the freedom to worship and gather wlthout fear something that many in our world stlll long for. As we move forward In fallh, we continue to pray for those in need, trusting in God's SLJStalning care. With hope and expectation for splritual and numerical growth 2025, we pray that we may shine as Ilghts in a dark world.
