**The Parish Church Council of St Anne with St Faith, Wandsworth**
## **Aim and purpose**
The Parochial Church Council has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Revd Cécile Schnyder, in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.
The Council seeks to serve the people in the ecclesiastical parish by being a Christian presence in the community, by instructing people in the Christian faith, offer pastoral care and support.
## **Church services etc.**
The PCC takes the lead with the incumbent in planning the life of the parish. The ministry of the church in the community takes shape through worship, occasional offices (baptisms, marriages and funerals) and community activities.
The church is called to be a place that pulls the whole community together, a place of inclusion and welcome.
Our Sunday Services are held at 8am and at 10am. The 10am service has the additional provision of a Sunday School.
In addition to that Play!@St Annes, our well-loved and very busy toddler group happens on a Wednesday morning between 9-11am. The church toddler group is a place for children and their adults to socialise during free play and hear a bible story and sing songs around the piano.
In 2023 we also started to lead Godly Play Sessions. Godly Play is an approach to bible story telling that fosters curiosity and exploration. It begins with children’s innate sense of the presence of God. It offers Christian language as a support for their ongoing spiritual formation. It teaches a process that aims to promote an inner working model for life-long learning.
Additional church services happen throughout the year to mark the feasts of the Christian Year (Advent, Lent, Corpus Christi, Harvest, Remembrance Sunday to name just a few).
## **Community activities**
We have close links with our local primary schools, especially in two Church of England schools where the vicar and a number of church members have served as foundation governors: St Faith’s and St Anne’s CofE Primary Schools. In addition, we have thriving links with the Anglo Portuguese School, Allfarthing and Swaffield primary schools. All residing in our parish.
We have good links with various charitable organisations: Wandsworth Homestart, Glass Doors, the chaplaincy at HMP Wandsworth and the Foodbank at St Andrews, Earlsfield. We have bimonthly community lunches where we bring people (old and young) from the local community together over a meal. The current invitations reach over 50 people. In 2022 we also began a weekly Coffee Morning. The Coffee Morning now brings 20-25 people together each Monday over a cup of coffee and cake. This has become a hub for the community to meet.
Our Community pantry (located in the church) is open on a Monday. It is there to support the local community, no matter of status or church affiliation. Our local school support this with food donations.
Christmas was celebrated with a Carol Service, two nativity plays and services on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
## **St Anne’s Church and St Anne’s Church Hall**
The church and hall are used for our own activities as well as a wide range of community events. The maintenance of these two buildings is a major part of our responsibilities. The church is used for the coffee morning, toddlers group, food pantry, Godly Play sessions, various concerts and church as well as school services. The building is open on three days per week for private prayer as well as for Sunday services.
The hall is by theatre groups, ballet and afternoon clubs, Pilates and various exercise groups. It is also use for interfaith work.
In addition the PCC owns a property (28 Aslett St) and the former St Faith’s Church in Ebner Street which at present are applied to income generation for the purposes of the parish.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The PCC is appointed according to the Church Representation Rules. The membership consists of the incumbent, churchwardens, Deanery Synod representatives and elected members. The PCC is a body corporate (PCC Powers Measure 1956, Church Representation Rules 2006). Its Charity No. is 1144983.
The PCC is responsible for decisions of all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including decisions on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the PCC of St Anne’s Church Wandsworth**
**This report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2023, which are set out on pages 1 to 7, is in respect of an examination carried out under the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 (‘the Regulations’) and s.43 of the Charities Act 1993 (‘the Act’).**
## **Respective responsibilities of the PCC and the examiner**
**As members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of Regulations and section 43(2) of the Act do not apply. It is my responsibility to issue this report on those accounts in accordance with the terms of the Regulations.**
## **Basis of this report**
**My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 43(7)(b) of the Act and to be found in the Church guidance, 2006 edition, issued by the Finance Division of the Archbishops’ 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 41 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.**
