Achievements and performance

Covid-19 pandemic

Much of 2021 was spent emerging from the latest phase of the Covid-19 pandemic. The year started off with a third national lockdown on 04 January with the roadmap to recovery announced on 22 February with four steps of gradual reopening. Gradually services have been returning to normal, but with all appropriate covidsecure mitigation facilities in place, including hand sanitiser at all the main entrances and significant places in the building, the use of masks/face-coverings and a one-way system of movement through the church. Holy communion has continued to be distributed in one kind, but with the ancient understanding that to receive in such a way is to receive the fullness of the sacrament.

Church attendance

For the year ending 2021, there are 276 parishioners on the Church electoral roll, of whom 94 are not resident in the parish. The average weekday attendance of adults and children, usually a feature of this report, has been rather more difficult to ascertain during these Covid-19 times, making it a somewhat inexact science. Post-pandemic it would seem that the average weekly attendance of adults and children was 200, compared with 285 before the pandemic, but this was also complemented by a large number of continued regular views of Sunday services via the live-stream – sometimes as many as 90. The number increased at festivals.

There were 18 candidates (3 adults and 15 children) for confirmation during 2021, compared with 0 during 2020 owing to pandemic and 16 candidates in 2019 (3 adults and 13 children). There were 14 baptisms in 2021, compared with 4 in 2020 and 8 in 2019. There was 1 wedding in 2021 (compared with 0 in 2020 and 3 in 2019).

Review of the year

The full PCC met 6 times during the year either by Zoom or in person with an average level of attendance of 85 per cent. Committees met between meetings and minutes of their deliberations were received by the full PCC and discussed where necessary.

The Parish Clergy

It was lovely to welcome Mother Helen Sims-Williams in July following her ordination to the diaconate by the Bishop of London in St Paul’s Cathedral on 03 July. Mother Helen is married to Fr Robin Sims-Williams, Priest in Charge of All Saints, Childs Hill and they have two daughters, Iris and Meredith. It was lovely to welcome them to the parish at all the morning Eucharists on Sunday 04 July and it was a joy to be able to serve prosecco to everyone in their seats immediately after the 1030 Sung Eucharist (airline style on a trolley, as there were still restrictions on the serving of refreshments!). God-willing, Mother Helen will be ordained to the priesthood by the Bishop of Edmonton in June 2022.

It has been lovely to have Fr Andy Arnell continue with us, following his ordination to the priesthood by the Bishop of Edmonton on 10 October 2020, and as he continues the third year of his SSM curacy (alongside his everyday job as a civil servant).

We remain ever grateful to Mother Annette Fritze-Shanks for her continued liturgical and pastoral ministry among us as Assistant Priest (alongside her day job as a lawyer in the City of London) and for all that she does as our safeguarding officer. During 2021 Mother Annette was also appointed as Bishop of London’s Adviser in self-supporting and bi-vocational ministry. We warmly congratulate her on this additional diocesan appointment, which is a recognition of her many gifts and all that she gives to the life of the church.

Fr Jonathan continued as Priest in Charge of our neighbouring parish of St Cuthbert’s, West Hampstead, although most of the pastoral responsibility is delegated to the Associate Vicar there – Fr Hugh Thomas. St Cuthbert’s has continued to host Foodcycle Kilburn every Saturday. As lockdown eased this has been a takeaway meals service but, with the relaxing of restrictions, it has been lovely to see often more than 60 people sitting down to a free three-course hot vegetarian meal. St Cuthbert’s has also continued to be hugely blessed by the monthly ministry of our retired priest colleague, Mother Claire Wilson.

Father Jonathan also continued as Area Dean of the new combined Deanery of Camden He also continues as a trustee of the Community Association of West Hampstead, the Fitzdale Trust, CARIS Camden and the C4WS Winter Night Shelter Project.

Church Officers

At the APCM 2021, Robert Cox and Harin Perera were re-elected as Churchwardens. At the first meeting of the PCC immediately after the APCM, Mark Hyoms was elected as treasurer, ably assisted by Diana Malzer as honorary book-keeper and Clare Fuller as PCC Secretary. Diana Malzer was re-elected as electoral roll officer. Thank you to all our PCC Officers for all that they do for us in a voluntary capacity. It is greatly appreciated.

The Parish website – www.emmanuelnw6.com

The website continues to be hosted by Meritorious and we continue to be most grateful for the consultancy of Michelle McCalden, especially in fixing bugs and errors. The website is built on Word Press which makes it relatively easy for Father Jonathan to make updates and changes and add pages and information regularly. We look forward to a re-design of the website later in 2022.

The Parish Office

The Parish Office continues to be housed in the upstairs room above the Nazareth Chapel and is shared with the choir room and facilities for counselling. We continued to be most grateful to Nicki Siddall, our part-time Parish Administrator. Nicki’s work is largely taken up with the administration of the booking, management and invoicing for the rooms in the Community Space, as well as other parish administrative duties. We have availed ourselves of the Government Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) whilst Nicki was fully furloughed & part-furloughed. Utilisation of the CJRS ended when working hours return to pre Covid-19 levels.

Community Space

The community space at the west end of the church has gradually come back to almost full use as the Covid19 restrictions were eased. A number of the children’s groups which usually use the Charles Wood Room have been using the large open space at the west end, to allow for better ventilation, and this has also been used in a similar way by the Narcotics Anonymous group. As the accounts show, the income from the Community Space is not yet up to pre-pandemic levels and a small number of groups were not able to return after the pandemic.

Winter Night Shelter

The Covid-19 pandemic has meant that the C4WS Winter Night Shelter has taken on the same alternative form this year. Following Government advice and at the direction of Housing Justice revolving Night Shelters moving between churches and other venues on different nights of the week were once again no longer able to take place. The Shelter has once again been operating from a single venue in the County Hotel, just off Tavistock Square. The pandemic has entailed that volunteers have been fewer in number than previous years, and there has been a greater reliance on the listing of floating volunteers. Emmanuel has continued our involvement through cooking and delivering a hot evening meal every Tuesday night during the first part of the Shelter season. Many thanks to Nadia Ouled-Zaoui for all that she has done to coordinate this on our behalf and to all our volunteers.

The Living Wage

In line with our commitment to all who work for Emmanuel Church being paid at least the London living wage, we continued to engage the services of Ben and Dan in cleaning the community space up who pay their staff the London living wage.

Children’s Work

Lockdowns permitting, we continued our central work with children not only at our 9.15 am Joyful Noise Eucharist but in our Sunday School in term during the 10.30 am Sung Eucharist. We are most grateful Claire Hammett for all her hard work in coordinating the Sunday School. It was lovely to hold two Sunday afternoon children’s workshops in the style of Messy Church – an Eve of All Hallows Workshop (celebrating the Christian Halloween) and a St Nicholas-tide Workshop at which Kisa Nicodemo was elected and enthroned as Child Bishop for the year. Many thanks to Mother Helen and Claire for all their hard work on these greatly appreciated events.

Work with our older members

In a parish so full of young life it is important that we remember our older and senior members who are much valued members of our parish family. Our monthly Fellowship lunch on the first Wednesday of each month resumed as soon as it was safe to do so following the Government’s Roadmap to Recovery. Many thanks to Diana Malzer who coordinates the catering for and communication with this wonderful group of people.

Safeguarding

Mother Annette Fritze-Shanks served as Safeguarding Officer throughout the year and Casey Hammett served as Children’s Champion. All relevant DBS checks and training were undertaken, and the annual Safeguarding Audit was carried out.

Financial Review

Our total income for the year was £115,253 (2020: £118,345) and the details are in the financial statements. Donations from parishioners still account for the largest share of our income, contributing £66,279 ( 2020: £69,674 ). Our income from investments was £11,754 ( 2020: £11,190 ). As mentioned above, whilst the easing of the pandemic has seen an improvement in trading conditions for lettings, the income of £34,743 (2020 £25,906) is lower than 2019 (£51,964)

We are required to show our investments at their market value at the end of the year and the gain or loss is reported in our Statement of Financial Activities.

£111,305 (2020: £99,092) was spent to provide the Christian ministry from Emmanuel Church, including a contribution of £68,600 (2020: £61,400) to the diocesan parish share (the Common Fund), which largely provides the stipends and housing for the clergy, pension and national insurance contributions as well as contributing the wider life and ministry of the Diocese of London and Church of England.

The pandemic has meant that there has been a concomitant continued fall income, but we are hugely grateful to the increased number of people who have taken out monthly standing orders. The Diocese of London took prudent financial steps to accommodate the estimated fall in income across the Diocese of £3 million. We pledged and paid £65,000 for the Common Fund in 2021 (including a final payment at the beginning of 2022 to bring the amount donated up to our pledge) and a further £3,600 relating to our 2020 commitment. For 2022 we have pledged £75,000 in the aspiration of returning to full costs in 2023.

The incumbent’s stipend paid to Fr Jonathan and all other incumbents in the Diocese of London for 2021 was £27,614

Reserves policy

It is PCC policy to maintain a balance of net current assets on unrestricted funds of approximately 4 months unrestricted payments, to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. The balance of £56,314 (2020: £52,266) at the year-end meets this target.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF EMMANUEL CHURCH, WEST HAMPSTEAD

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021 set out on pages 6 to 15 herein.

Respective responsibilities of the PCC and the independent examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission and the Regulations. 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 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 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 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:
