THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF BRIGHTON, ST PETER PCC MEMBERS ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 Youth Youth at st P8terfs Brighton has been incredible. This year we really built up the team that we have serving on a Friday night. We have welcomed about 12 new regulars who come along each week, which brings us to about 25 in total on the team. This is a huge support to the young people and the running of Youth. Our young people have grown massively in their faith and leadership. One of the most incredible things we have seen this year is the formation of a youth band, with aboLrt 20 youth all exciled to be involved. This includes a variety of instruments being played and all different ages of young people. We have also had our youth step up in preaching more. wth one of the young people who is in year 10 doing the preacher training course at St Peterfs. From that she spoke at Youth. the Youth Weekend Away and then at a Sunday service. In February we were able to an incredible Youth W*kend Away. We saw 91 young people come along for the weekend. which is the most we have ever had. Just one story of many is from one of our year 8 boy5. After the Saturday night service. we got a message from this boys parents saying he has been on the phone in tears. He was telling his parents how he had just encountered the Holy Spirit for the first time in his life. We also got to enjoy watching young people find a k)t of freedom in the games, a lot of our older youth were able to just let go of the social pressura to be cool and not be involved. instead they were getting muddy and diving into the games. We got an incredible opportunity to bring more young people to Focus again. Through doing the Youih camping village, we could bring young people without their parents again. The young people had such an incredible time. growng closer to God and building amazing connections one another. These are opportunities that the young people would not gel if we did not run the camping area. This year we had Lydia Mead join the YoLrth team on placement ￿lIe stutying theology. She was incredible and grew a lot in her leadership skills. Just before Christmas we were able to send her off to a local church to become the new Youth pastor. It's been amazing to track with her as she grew up in Youth here, got chances to grow and preach. to then joining team and ultimately slep into this role and hold the responsibility as a pastor. Studentslcollective In February 2024 we took 54 student5 and team away on our annual Student Weekend Away. Over the summer we hosted summer socials each week, where the group infomally met up wilh each other for different activities. This consisted of student and young adults and was part of a soft launch of Collective for the new academic year. In September 2024, we shifted from Students to Collective. Collective includes students and young adults. On average there were 110 people who attended Collective between September and December. Part of the Collective model is having home groups. and we launched 6 groups across the city. On average we had 70-80 people to attend groups per evening. We've welcomed guest speakers from across Brighton and around the country to inpLrt into the lives of students and young adults. Lunch at ihe Lukes,. a fortnightly Sunday lunch at Jodi & Steve Luke's house. has been hugely successfvl, seeing up to 40 people from Collective filling the house for home-cooked lunch and a chance to relax and build community. as well as spend time talking through life with Jodi & Steve. The Christmas Party saw 103 students and young adu]ts enjoy an everThng of Christmas celebrations and dancing to end the temi. Groups One of Ihe key ways that we aim for people to be fijlly integrated into the life of St Peterfs is lo join a rnid-week discipleshiplhome group. As with last year, we had a number of groups stop meeting for a variety of reasons. however a few groups continued. The existing groups all ￿nCtiOn at different levels, some being more robust than others. There were 8 groups in 2024. The content for Groups continues to be provided by Dan and Kate Millest's deepdives into the scriptures for that week's sermon passage, providing opportunities for people to grow in their biblical literacy, forge deeperfriendships wth others. as well as spurring one another on in our corporate discipleship journey.

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF BRIGHTON, ST PETER PCC MEMBERS ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 In the autumn term we discontinued the Discipleship Stream. It was introduced to support existing groups, be a group incubator (where new groups would fomi) and help people who are not in a group. It was mostly attended by students and as Collective started they moved to new Collective groups. Starting in 2025, Melissa Taleni y￿11 be looking after Groups, creating content with Dan Millesl. We look foTward lo launching more groups and holding group leader training nights. Worship & Production 2024 has been a year of significant growih and momentum for the Worship and Production team at St Peterfs. With the arrival of a large number of new students in the city, we￿e seen a surge in passionate, talented musicians and vocalists joining the team. We now have over40 active team members involved in worship and production. including worship leaders. band membars, vocalists, sound engineers and visual technicians. Ministries such as Alpha. Safehaven and Collective have provided great opportunities for worship leaders to grow in confidenc8 and skill. Our Youth ministry has also become a great pipeline for developing worship team V￿th 3 of the youth having transitioned into seprfing on the main Sunday team, bringing fresh energy and long-term potential to the ministry. Nathan Robinson excellad in his role as Production Coordinator bringing consistency lo the sound at St Peterfs. He also helped train 3 new sound engineers for the production team. Our Easter and Christmas services remain cornerstone events in our worship calendar. drawng on the full creative and spiritual capacity of the team. Easter weekend included a deeply reflective Good Friday service and a joy-filled Easter Sunday celebration that hosted over 1600 people. Christmas 2024 saw us hosting 8 different services over the month, ranging from traditional carol services to creative all-age gatherings. Carols by Candlelight was a particular highlight where we partnered a string quartet with a choir of 30 people all frorn the congregation. Alpha Alpha continues to be a highly fruithjl ministry al St Peterfs. helping to raise up and release our congregation into the wot1( of evangelism, engage guests from outside the church. and see people come to a living faith in J8SUS. In the past year we created opportunities for 103 people to serve on our main Alpha course, welcomed 283 guests, and saw 156 attend one of our three Alpha Days- a key moment of encounter and decision in the joumey of faith. As part of our ongoing shift to a lay-led, staff-supported model of ministry, we've seen signtficant growth in leadership capacity. Ali Beal has led Alpha with excellence. not only overseeing the course bul also intentionally creating space for others to step up and lead. This transition was especially evident in the Spring 2025 Alpha. where Ali stepped back from in-person leadership and instead empowered a team of lay leaders: Chris Wlliams (Event Lead), Arianna Sh8pland (Hospitality Lead), and Rachel Butcher (Admin Lead). Thi5 model has attracted significant interest from across the HTB Network, and we've been invited to share our leaming with others. Wthin our own Family of Churches. we are now piloting a coaching project wilh thr88 Oth8r churches to adopt the lay-led Altha model, supported by a central coach. Safehaven Saturday 2024 marked the 15th year of running Safehaven Saturday at St Peterfs-an outreach that opens our doors each week to men and women who are homeless or disadvantaged in our city. Over the years, Safehaven has become much more than just a hot meal or a wami space" tt's a place of welcome, dignity, and deep connection. As one volunteer shared.. 'Safehaven is an incredible ministry with an incredible team. Opening the church as a restaurant to the vulnerably housed. and joining with them in c(Ynmunity is such a blessing. They are waited on. they are supported, they are loved. There are difficult, heartbreaking stories at times. But it is always a special place, filled with the Spirit, and you leave richer than you arrive."

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF BRIGHTON, ST PETER PCC MEMBERS ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 2024 also saw significant growth in the weekly Communion service held as part of Safehaven. More guests have been choosing to participate regularly, and the service has grown and developed into something deeply meaningful_ It offers a uniqu8 Opportunity for member5 of the homeless community to engage in worship, prayer, and the sacraments in a way that is accessible, inclusive, and authentic. This small but growing congregation at st Peterfs is a powerful wlness to God's work among ihose so often overlooked by traditional church spaces. The relationships and sense of familiarity that grow at Safehaven help guests feel more confident in accessing further support-whether that's through signposting or through specialist partners at our Men's and Women's drop- ins, held in the same space. Vthile Safehaven was originally created to reach out to and serve the city, what we've found over the years is that it has also had a wofound impact on the volunteers themselves.11 has become a place of belonging, encouragement, spiritual growth, and meaningfjJl connection for those who serve, not just for those being served. One volunteer said, °Safehaven has also been a vital place of integration and purpose in a new chapter of life. We were new to the area and it's dtfficult to get to know people in a big church, or to feel needed. Safehaven was exaclly what we neede￿ractiCallY and spiritually. The team made us feel welcome, and we felt privileged to serve the community. We are more blessed to give than receive-but we received so much more.. In 2024 our Saturday meals were attended by 644 iTKlividual men and women across 3.896 visits, with on average 105 guests atlending each week. During the year 134 different volunteers have helped at Safehaven Saturday, giving 3,459 volunteering hours_ Safehaven Men's Drop4n Our Men's drop-in continues to provide a safe and welcoming Spa￿ for men who we disadvantaged, to come together, build positive and construdive relationships. and experience a sense of connection through a light meal. conversation, and low-key activities. 2024 has seen the drop-in evolve significantly, with a notable shift from being primarily about food provision to becoming a space that fosters fellowship, frsendship. communty, and discipleship. The art table in particular has flourished this year. Jo, who runs the table, reflected that °when the art table first took on its current fomial in 2023, none of the guests had any faitlHiany We￿ openly atheisl or agnostic. and resistant to any conversation about Jesus. But fast forward to 2024, and those same men have either come lo faith or are currently doing Alpha. It's been incredible to see how God has worked Ihrough the art.. The art table also undertook a collaborative project this year to create an art installation themed °Under This Roof.. Guests produced a wide variety of beautiful paintsngs, inspired both by the phrase and by the diff8r8nl aspects of life and ministry )Mthin th8 church. The dropin also remains a ttusted space for key workers to meet with their clients. In 2024 the Men's drop-in supported 446 individuals across a total of 2.405 wsits. We welcome an average of 62 men every week. During thè year 76 individuals have volunteered on the team this year which equates to 2,622 volunteer team hours. Safehaven Women Thursday Drop4n Our Safehaven Women's dropin continues to provide a weekly safe space for vulnerable and disadvantaged women in our city,. in fact, we are the only place in Brighton that offers a safe place just for wcmen that doesn't require a referral, criteria or time limited support. This year we have seen our women build a stronger sense of community with each other, offering friendship and support ouiside the dropin space. We feel that the reflection time is one of the most important elements ofthe women's drop-in, so this yearwe decided to bring it to the middle ofour session, so we now have it straight after the meal before dessert and before we bring the actiwties out. This has meant we have had almost 1 OOOA engagement from our women and have gone from women chatting through the reflection time to almost complet8 silence in the room. Extemal specialists continue to attend the drop-ins across the term, helping to build relationships within Safehaven Women's more relaxed, supportive environment. One guest says, "This is my safe place, I feel at home here and seen by the team. Coming to Safehaven Women is the only time I go out, I know l am going to be safe and see friends. as well as have the best food..

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF BRIGHTON, ST PETER PCC MEMBERS ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 Over the last year 300 individual women participated in the drop-in across 1.918 visits. An average of 48 women continue to be welcomed every week. Over this last year 69 different volunteers have helped at SHW making 2,487 volunteering hours. Over the past year women have attended church activities including St Peter's Play Café, Alpha and Sunday church. 7 of our women have become volunteers on the SHW team and 5 women have got into meaningful work. Women's Probation Breakfast In partnership with the Probation Service, we continue to provide a wami, welcoming environment in which women meet with their Probation Officers and other essential services- all over breakfast! Additional acttvities. such as arts and crafts, also run during the sessions, helping guests engage wyth each other and open-up about their experiences. Over this year 40 women have attended Probation Breakfast, equating to 276 visits. We have a strong team of 10 volunteers, giving $84 team hours. One participant said, 'Probakn'on Breakfast at St Peterfs church is the absolLrte highlight of my week- the only thing I look forward to. and another woman fed back, °However l am fealing or turn up at the drop-in, even in my darkes( messiest moments. I know I will be accepted and welcomed.. Probation Boy5 In September we partnered with the Chapel Royal to start a weekly drop-in for 17-25-year-old boys who are on Probation. This age group of boys are generally firsl offenders. have often been groomed into crime by older men in the city. Getting them to engage with the Probats-on service is difficult becaus8 of their age and also if th&y atlend the Probation Office, they are likely to see the men vtho groomed them into crime. If these boys do engage with the Probation service early on, they are more likely to tum their lives around. By providing a safe place for them to meet their Probation Officers and other seNice providers, they are more likely to engage. We have a strong team of 4 who host Ihis weekly space at the Chapel Royal under St Peterfs guidance. Mother & Baby Group We continue to support vulnerable mothers through fonnal sessions arKI informal support, helping participants to develop Self<onfiden￿, to inform positive choices and work towards the reality of a hope-filled fijture. The calm and nurturing space continues to play a foundational role for many vulnerable mothers. We have seen community and relationship between our mums deepen, with them regularly supporbng and encouraging each other and see each other outside the group. Over this last year 19 mothers were supported, across 140 visits. 10 individuals have volunteered on the team, giving 486 volunteering hours. In addition to the Mums group, we have continued to welcome RISE to use the church hall to run their 'Rising Stars. children's programme to help support children affected by domestic abuse in the home. RISE have run 3 of these groups. supporting around 20 children. Eden Strip Club Mlnlstry In June ofthis year, we launched Eden Strip Club Ministry in partnership with Eden Southampton and HTB church. A team of 2 go regularly into a local strip dub to offer chaplaincy in the form of a confidential. non-judgemental listening service. We visited the club 16 times from the end of June until December and spoke with over 60 dancers, 5 of these dancers attended carol services over the Christrnas period. with one of them attending 3 different services. Safehaven 'Love Christmas, This Christmas we served 305 Christmas meals for Safehaven guests across 3 parties, which included choral singing from a local Brighton Choir, karaoke, fancy dress and even a Ghristrnas congal Thanks to the generosity of Ihe church and Socal Companies we were able to give the gift of a brand new warm and cosy scarf to each of our guests along with a Peace Be Still body lotion. beautiful affinnation bracelets, wanr winter hats, and gloves. One of our guests said she felt so protected and connected to us while wearing her affirmation bracelets, Others said they wouldn't get any other gifts at Christmas so felt really loved and valued. Others were so blessed to have warm items lo help during the colder months.

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF BRIGHTON, ST PETER PCC MEMBERS ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 Love Your Neighbour The Love Your Neighbour (LYN) Programme is a national alliance of churches and other organisations playing their part on the fronlline of social transfomiation in cities. tov4ns and communities across the UK. St Peter's have been working with Love Your Neighbour for several years. particularly as part of their Christma5 campaign. However, last year Rich Merrick joined as our LYN Development Manager to further increase our activity as part of the LYN strategy. Part of his remit was to undertake their Hub Accelerator Programme. The programme invites churches to accelerate their growth in a structured way across five 8reas- impact. mobilisation, sustainability, national alliance, and storytelling. Through their hubs, they help to C¢)ordinate social acts'on projects and resourc8 cornmunities to meet local needs and show love in adion. Play Café Play cafe has continued to run during term time throughoLrt the year. Our wsion is to prowde a safe, joyful space for parents and carers to share wth their little ones. We have had a range from 99 to 252 visitors each week. who are still primarily not engaging in St Peterfs in other ways. We have a multi-generational team of 14 volunteers tho serve when they are able, and we are blessed weekly by Gary's wonderful baking. We have been able to offer some prayer support to our guests and hope to develop this further in the coming year. We also operate a pay ttforward scheme, which ensures that guests who aren'l financially able can still enjoy a coffee. Faith In Recovery Faith in R6covery launched in June 2020 to bridge the gap between Church and the recovery world and has now been running weekly for neady five years. It's for all those in any recovery and who are struggling, and families and friends of those in any addiction, drinking or substanc&use. We meel weekly in term time, altemating in person and over Zoom. We have a regular core group who have been wth us since the start. They've stepped into more servi roles such as leading, tech and bible readings, which is a joy to watch They in tum cary that message to others to come and join our community. Some have also now moved into holding their own recovery meetings within our family of churches. We now have a face-ttrface Faith in Recovery meeting in Grimsby and Wrexham with another HTB church that has shown an interest. Our community across our churches is approximately 150 people, 40 of whom are on our WhatsApp group, where we encourage and support each other. We have plans to do an evening Examen on Zoom, twice a month. This year w8 have been given the honour of taking Faith in Recovery to Focus and will be running a daily moming meeting during that weekend. We are in the process of organising a seminar specsfically on addiction with Sam Coates at HTB. A few more people have been connected to recovery through our Safehaven ministry in the last year. There have been many conversalions connecting Probation. Youth and Collective to recovery and bringing awareness of how the 12 Steps align with Jesus, teach1r￿s, and also education on where addiction r8ally lies within our church communities and how we respond as a church. We've shared Faith in Recovery's journey and what the ministry does. including across the Diocese. to fijrther carry the message of recovery. We have nearly completed a Minislry Model digital pack for anyone who feels called to set up a recovery meeb.ng in their church, to guide. infomi, support and inspire. The most encouraging and moving part is that we are a family. fully inclusive of all, with love, compassion and acceptance regardless of where people are in their journey. or whal their addiction is. We carry people who are struggling wlh their faith as sisters and brothers in Christ. Il's been particularly exciting lo have people join who are new lo faith orjust starting to explore who Jesus is and it's been a privilege to support one another through the ups and downs of our failh and recovery joumeys. The vision is to equip and enable others throughout our network of churche5 and beyond to have a recovery community within every church. Tackling Anxiety Together TAT is very thankful for the support of St Petefs church. We ran an in-person course at St Matthias in June 2024 where we had 4Q guests attend, ages ranging from early 20s through lo 70 and above. led by a team of 10 volunteers. TAT is being run in various locations around the country. Holy Trinity Brompton, Fabric Church in Manchester, Emmaus Road Guildford,3 Counlies Vineyard Church and substan￿ Church in Minneapolis USA.

We are working wilh th8 Youth leaders from the Brighton Family of Churches to run Ihis course in the schools they have a connection with. Spear Brighton 2024 has been a great year for Spear Brighton. We have continued to run The Spear Programme out of St Petevs and are incredibly grateful for Ihe space to do this. Here's a rundown of the year in numbers: $9 young people completed the Spear Programme. 88Q/o of those we worked with were facing at least one significant barrier to employment {th&se include mental health, socioéconomic factors like housing or generational unemployment, criminal records and family involved in crime, neurodivergence and learning difficulties. lack of qualifications, care leavers}. 71 tsk of those we worked with faced 3 or more barriers to work. 760/0 of those who did Spear a year ago are now in workleducation. One young person said al their ￿lebratIc￿. "So. when I got rejected job after job after job. I thought that this canl possibly be my f8uIt'. it must be the world's fault. I lashed out at everyone as a result, and I knew I was at rock bottom when my sleep schedule was just terrible..,I was in a really bad place. I got angry and self-destructive. and l ended up tuming on myself and thinking, well, maybe the world isn't the problem: maybe I'm the problem. Maybe I'm just stupid and a waste of space. And so. Spear really helped me figure out where l am in the world. They gave me practical steps, and I learned a lot about thè victim and power mindset and how not to go down into another spiral. And it really helped to know that I was not alone, and other people felt that way. Wth Spear, I felt like I was actually getting somewher8. I'm just focusing on what I can control,. changing my mindset. being positive and applwng for jobs." They have now been working for the past 6 months as a support worker for adults with leaming difficulties, an inteNiew they got through our local connections. and are loving it. we are so proud of the progress th8y've made and the resilience they've shown. Spear exists notjust to impact and empower young people faang barriers to employment. but to inspire and envision the organisations we partner with to achieve ambib'ous and sustainable social change. This past year we have been strengthening relationships with local Charities, support services. council provision and businesses across the city. including Mind, Nando's. London Care, Marston's, Clocktower Sanctuary. Brighton Youth Hub and many More. Bridge The Gap-Brlghton Bridge The Gap is a ministry at St Peterfs aimed specifically at non-christian men aged 18+ 11 is partnered with the Bridge The Gap Football charity, which works V￿th churches across the country with the vision of seeing generations come to know Jesus using football as a tool to build community. connect the isolated and lonely, develop leaders. and change lives. Here in Brighton we play on Friday nights at the 3G astro pitch at Brighton University, and see many young men attending each week, vthether they study or work in Brighton. Bridge The Gap Brighton had an impactfvl year in 2024. The year started with a huge influx of new players attending sessions. averaging 70 each week for the first 3 months. A large reason for this was down to a newspap8r article that was written in the Sussex Uni new5paper°The Badgerf that labelled Brtdge the Gap Football as 8righton's best football group for sludents to attend The article was written by one of the play&rs who had enjoyed attending so much that he wanted to write about it, and went on to explain the mission of BTG, the importance of community, the partnership with Sl Peterfs, and the stark difference that he had seen in the culture at Bridge The Gap compared to o other football groups he had been a part of during his time at univer5rty. At this time, we also had Matt Drabble finish his first Alpha Course after attending a BTG Quiz Night and accepting an invitstion to Alpha that same night. Matt joined the Bridge The Gap team and has been hugely influential within the group. as he can easily relate to the other members due to his non-faith experience for most of his fcm)ative years.

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF BRIGHTON, ST PETER PCC MEMBERS ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 Around Easter time, the team and I made the decision to strip things back on Friday nights. The result of such high numbers meant that the community aspect of BTG was beginning lo fall behind. We noticed that as a team it was harder to keep control of the welcoming, inclusive, peopltrdriven values that we wanted to uphold. so w8 picked out 50 players we felt were attending for the right reasons (for community, not just football) and added everyone inlo a IMatsApp group and capped Sessions al 35 players. We also paused our use of social media, so as not to attract too many players (at this stage our @btgbrighton Instagram page was reaching over 1000 people each month). The decision to reduce numbers and focus on the people in front of us was huge, and we saw a community forni exactly as we had hoped Lower numbers meant that people had the opportunity to chat with others outside of playing football, and as a team we were able to get to know the guys attending on a much more personal level, sharing our faith at socials such as watching the 2024 Euros toumamenl at the pub. meeting some of the guys 1-1 to catch up. and messaging in the week. This also provided opportunities fty some of the guys to step up in their own leadership, such as hosting a team when there was a lack of numbers. Two examples of this were Sid and Harry, who had be8n attending BTG for a little while and were having a big positive impact on the players despite both attending on their own and not having any faith background In June we attended the BTG National Toumament, an opportunty to play football with and against the 25 other BTG sites in one big event. We took a squad of 10 to Stratford-upon-Avon and were able to build relabonships on a much deeper level through the day. At the toumament there was a half time break. a 4&minute segment planned by Brtdge The Gap to share testimonies from guys vtho had come to faith Ihrough BTG in the past year, and the impact that Jesus had had on their lives since becoming Chrisbans. A professional footbailer also attended and shared their faith joumey, and this sparked many conversations for the drive home. One exciting momenl over this period was also when ex-Brighton captain Bruno Saltor joined for a session, after a meeting I was able to have with him. Inspired by the vision. Bruno joined and met the guys, signed shirts, and continues to support BTG further now. In September, we opened the group back up to 50 spa￿$ and relaunched on Instagram. With 3 new members of team (including both Sid and Harry) we felt confident that the Core group of 35 that had attended in the previous summer term would ensure that a positive communty with the values that we uphold would be sustained. We were absolutely correct and found that all 50 spaces filled up quickly each week, but with more consistency than before, and the culture on Friday nights was now being led by the players. rather than the work of the team. New players were joining and seeing that Bridge the Gap wasn't a place to showboat. to value winning too highly, criticise cthers, or play with friends. Instead, they found that meeting new players was more important, encouraging others was more enjoyable even if they made mistakes, and not caring about the result or Iheir own performance took the pressure off the foolball, and it has quickly become people's favourite pla￿ to play football and find community. We were so encouraged in December when we held a FIFA toumamenl. supported by Bruno wth signed Brighton shirts, and Fatto A Mano with pizza vouchers. We had 32 people join us for an evening of FIFA (a football video game) and watching a Brighton match on a projector. At the end of the evening, we invited all the guys to Christmas at St Peler's and were so pleased when 10 of them accepted and attended Servi￿S! FrDm Beer and Carols to the Carol Service, the guys joined in. bringing Iheir housemates and friends: and as a team we continue to pray for the impact that this will have had on all of them. Overall, Bridge the Gap had an exciting year in 2024, and the same has conlinued to happen into 2025. We are so excited to see how God will use this ministy of football and people lo see more young men connect with chU￿h and begin their own faith journeys. Mission Giving The Mission Giving committee was established in 2011 to fonnalise St Peterfs giving is a subcommittee of the PCC. It is based onthe premise that all ourwork at St Peterfs is missional. butwe setaside money to give to projects and organisations that are not directly the wotk of St Peter's. The purpose of missional giving is to ensure that we 8re not narrow in our focus (being only about St Peterfs) and that we are a blessing to Brighton, its churches and charities, to the nation and to the world. Mission Giving in 2024 was budgeted at 100/0 of total income and is revi8wed by the Finance Committee annually. In 2024 this was set at £87.548 (including an underspend of £3,196 from 2023). io

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF BRIGHTON, ST PETER PCC MEMBERS ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 The Mission Giving Cornmittee broadly uses four criteria to distribute the funds: Strategic Partnerships - these are churches and charities that work wilh in Brighton and beyond. In 2024 these were: Bridge the Gap, Brighton Women's Centre, Chomp (Onechurch), Orchards, Justlife, Off The Fence, St Culhmans and Chapel Royal dergy support. Love Your Neighbour. Work we don't do but would love to - in 2024 we supported CAP (Christians Against Povety). Projeds of the congregation- we want to empower those ￿0 have a vision for things thal are not centrally run by Sl Peterfs. In 2024: Samara's Aid Appeal, Orphans International. Recovery Hub and Cardin81 Newman chaplaincy. Training and Mission Trips of members of the congregalion - enabling people to train. to senrfe other charities, and to bless other organisations in other parts of the UK or abroad. In 2024 this included a £300 bursary awarded to a member of the congregation attending a YWAM discipleship training school and support to a missionary family working in the Middle East. 200-year Fundraising Project In 2024, we ￿lebrated the bicentenary of the laying of the St Peters foundation stone wtth the 'One Moment in Time" herttage initiative. This year-long programme combined restoration efforts wtth community engagemenl, supported by significant fundraising achievements. Communit En emenl Adivities Celebration servi￿.. The celebration year began formally on 12 May. where we held a special service to mark the 200th anniversary. It was very w811 attended by congregation members, the Mayor of Brighton & Hove, who opened the service, and also the Bishop of Chichester, who addressed the congregation. We also displayad some of the church artefaots, including the ceremonial trowell It was a hugely reflective. thankful, uplifting and celebratory day for all that God has done at St Pelerfs. One Moment in Time: A Social history project collecting narratives from individuals connected to St Peterfs over the past iwo centuries, with a focus on working-class heritage. This involved a four-part filming workshop with local young people from 16-18. a professional media production company and a joumalist. Using the content curated, a website was developed and built ready for launch in 2025. Open Days & TOU￿.. We also held four open days (National Lottery Heritage Open Days & Ageing Well Festival) for th8 public to come. see and learn more about the wonderful heritage of Sl Peterfs. This ft)cussed particularly on people and community, by sharing an(1 learning about those who were a part of the church, the history of the church and the fabric of the building. It also inclLKled an in-depth tour of the building for which they also visited the inside of the tower and the bells. It was very well re￿ived all round with over 60% new to St Peterfs. LIFE by Luxmuralis: An immersive sound and light installation working wth the artist Peter Walk8r was held from 20th October to 2nd November. Over 7,000 tickets were sold and it was a huge success all round. Not only did it help to galvanise the church congregation vAth a shared sense of'hosting the cily, for a major event, but it also helpedto putthe church in the community spotlight and once again'pLrt U5 on the map, as a landmark in Brighton. Of the Ihousands who attended. over 75% were new to St Peterfs. Who s YourRock?: A collalx)rative art installation involving over 1,500 children and young people from Brighton & Hove, Celebrating figures of support in their Iiv8s and building relationships with schools across the city through inviting them to take part. 889ing Beyond the Stones: Through St Peterfs own groups, such as Safehaven and FQds, as well as our art colleclive 'Wonderf, we engaged artists from a range of backgrounds and experiences to create their inlerpretations of the building and its features. Workshops ran periodically for the project throughout lh8 latter part of the year. Eventually the artwork will be displayed in the church for viewng. 11

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF BRIGHTON. ST PETER PCC MEMBERS ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 Fundraisin Milestones In March, we secured a £250,000 grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, bolstaring our restoration efforts. Alongside this, we raised an additional more than £195.000 through various grants, including from the National Church8s Trust, the Wolfson Foundation, Church Care. Garfield Weston, Sussex Hisloric Churches Trust, Benefact Trust, Historic England. Westhill Endowment, Michael Bishop Foundation, Congregational & General Charitable Trust, the Sussex Record Society Mellor grant scheme and The lan Askew Charitable Trust. The fundraising has enabled all activities of the project to take place. A huge thanks must go to Sara Marsden- King. our fundraiser, who has done an incredible amount of w(￿k in applying for and securing th8se fund5. Restoration Pro ré An ongoing focus has been on the restoralion of the church tower. addressing critical stTUCtural issues as well as cleaning and restoring the slones. This whole project has enabled a major part of these works. We continued to work wth a host of key contractors DBR (stonemasons), Hanslip & CD (architect), Grant Associates IQS}, Stand Structural Engineers. Clockwise (clock restoration) and Allen & Foxworthy Iscaffolders) - and Blowup Media, our advertising partners. We are hugely grateful for their work, input. tr.me and effort on this latest phase of the project. Phase 1 (of 2) was works to scaffold lifts 84 which tcok place from September until the end of the year and was completed under the proposed budget. The clockfaces were also restored as part of the works with the mechanicals due to be restored in 2025. Trough it was a 'bumpy' joumey for getting to the final outcome. the result is that they look fantastic ￿ryth black faGes and gold gilding. This has been the continued, long-lerm project of restoring the unsafe Tower with an eventual aim to remove the scaffolding that has been in place since 2014, enhancing the church's visibility and accessibility. Lookin Ahead The funds raised and activities conducted in 2024 have significantly contributed to the preservation and ￿lebratiOn of St Peter's Church. We remain committed to continuing our restoration efforts and fostering community involvement in the years to ccmne. Safeguarding At st Peterfs we are committed to ensuring that the church is a safe place for all who attend our services and ministries. We are committed to creating a good safeguarding culture and good practice. We encourage all members of the congregation to undertake Basic Awarenèss safeguarding training, and volunteers and stsff to undertak6 the training required by Iheir role. We use an online safeguarding database, Myconcem. All saf8guarding concems ar8 recorded and 5tore¢J on this database, so it is easily accessible for stsff and volunteers to record incidents. St Peterfs has a core safeguarding team which was reconfigured in 2022. The team is Dan Millest, Helen Garratt, Bob Barstow and Emily Roe. Sarah INhite is joining the team as Parish Safeguarding Officer. The wider St Peter's safeguarding team meet monlhly to review besl practi￿ and safeguarding culture. In February 2025 we were invited to take part in the Chichester Diocese pilot of the National church's safeguarding audit tool Parish D8shboards. We are using Ihis very useful tool to audit all our safeguarding praclice and will use this for ongoing audit in the future. 12

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF BRIGHTON, ST PETER PCC MEMBERS ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 EnvKronment & Sustainability Report In 2024, we continued our commibnent to environmental responsibilty, though it was a year where progress was limited due to ongoing leam capacity challenges. Our desire to be a church that cares for God's creation remains strong, but we recognise that this year was more aboLrt maintaining existing efforts than advancing new initiatives. We were proud to achieve Eco Church Bronze in 2022. However. despite earfy intentions, we have not yet made the progress required to move towards a silver award. The complexity of our building and the demands on our team have contributed lo this slower pace, but Ihe ambilion remains. Energy use continued to be an area of practical focus. We installed additional motion sensors for lighting and worked on better management of our heats.ng system. While these changes have helped reduce unnecessary energy consumption, they were more about improving operational efficiency than delivering a step-change in envirenmental impact. We plan to revisit more strategic upgrades when resources allow. Waste and recycling levels saw a marginal decline. 57% of our total waste recycled in 2024 (down from 58°/0 in 2023). This remains an area where we hope to improve. but V￿ acknowledge that this year did not include any major changes in approach or policy. Unlike previous years, we did not actively pursue behavioural shifts across staff and volunteers around sustainability Much of this was simply due to capacity: key staffing gaps and major project commitments (including the 200- year anniversary programme). environmental goals have not been as central as we had hoped. As we reflect on 2024, we do so with honesty and a renewed sense of purpose. We are thankful for the foundations already laid and look forward to refocusing our environmental efforts in the year ahead, recognising that care for creation is not an optional extra but an essential part of our witness and stewardship. Staff & Operatlons Following the major staffing restructure of 2023, 2024 was a year of stabilisats'on, selective rebuilding. and continued adaptation. While the core team remained relatively consistent. we did experience some further stsff Ghanges and new additions who helped support our ongoing ministry and mission. In the first half of the year, we saw the departure of two pemianent staff members: our Giving, Data & Systems Coordinator, and our Sunday & Connect Coordinator. Of these roles. only the Sunday & Connect Coordinator position was replaced, reflecting our continued emphasis on strengthening our Sunday gatherings and connection pathways. Over the summer, our Co-Lead Pastor went on matemity leave, and in th8 autumn. our Youth Outreach Lead returned from her own matemity leave - a moment of continuity and celebration for the team. In July, we were delighted to welcome a new Associate Vicar, bringing fresh leadership and pastoral input to the church. We also created and appointed a new role, the Love Your Neighbour Hub Development Manager, to help drive the next phas& of our work wyth the city and local partners in addressing food insecurity and other key aieas of need. In support of our 200-year 'One Moment in Time. project, two new temporary contract roles were created - an Art Workshop Facilitator and a Project Coordinator - to help deliver the creative and engagement aspects of th8 year. Imiile the Prcject Coordinator role was only filled brieffly. the workshop facilitation contributed signifi¢anlly to the public-facing success of the programme. Our staff team continued to support the Family of Churches throughout 2024 with various HR administrative services, including running the payroll and providing advice on policies and compliance. This partnership r8mains a valuable way we can bless and strengthen other churches across the city. After the large-scale changes of 2023, this year has been one of measured growth, steady operations, and renewed investrnent in people and purpose. We are grateful for the team that God has gathered here and continue to look ahead with hope and faith as we serve the city together. 13

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF BRIGHTON, ST PETER PCC MEMBERS ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 Communications Communications at st Petels in 2024 remained an essential part of how we shared vision. encouraged participation, and kept the church informed. However, this year also highlighted some of the challenges that come with limited capacity and the absence of a dedicated communications lead. Throughout the year, communication5 responsibilities were shared across mulkn'ple staff members, which, while collaborative in spirit, affected overall consistency and clarity. WithoLrt one named person overs88ing strategy and delivery, tasks were spread thinly and at b.mes lacked coordination. This resulted in occasional gaps in timing, qualty. and tone even as we continued to maintain a relatively high standard of output across our channels. We made a conscious effort to relaunch our bi-monthly email newsletter. recognising that around 30 % of our congregation rely on email as their main source of updates and infomiation. This newsletter became a key touchpoint once again. providing a reliable rhythm of communication around church life, upcoming events, and ministry news. Canva continued to be a standout tool for our team, helping bridge the gap betrAeen professional design and accessible content creation. It played a cnjcial role in both streamlining our design process and empowering volunteers and less experienc8d team members to produce high quality visuals. This proved especially valuable in ministry areas without dedicated comms supporL We maintained a steady presence on social media, primarily via Instagram and Fa￿boOk. with content focused on key events, Sunday gatherings, and stories from across church life. Engagement remained steady. with notable spikes during the promotion of major events such as LIFE by Luxmurnlis and our 20(>Year Celebration Se￿iCe. These moments demonstrated the reach and potential of well-planned. visuaily strong campaigns - even within a stretched team. The church website remained a central hub for infonnation. though we recognise there is work to do lo improve user experience, parkncularly around navigation and ke8ping content up to date. W8 continue to rely on Moocow. the agency who built the original sit8, and have been glad of their foundational support throughout the year. The website has been identified as a key area of development for 2025, with scoping work already underway. Priorities include improving access for new congregants. better clarity around our vision and leadership. and making it easier to connect into the life of the church. Looking ahead, we're aware of the need to invest more strategically in communications, both in temis of personnel and structure. The past year has shown that V4hile shared ownership can keep things moving, clear leadership and vision are needed to raise both consistency and effectiveness. Communtcations will continue to be a priority area for strengthening in 2025, as we seek lo better serve our congregats'on and City with timely, creative, and mission- focused messaging. Buildlng & Facllltles Report Tower PrO.￿t The Tower Project lomially restarted in July 2024 following the successful award of a Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) grant. This phase of the project focuses on the completion of critical stone replacement and repairs to scaffold lifts 3-8 and is scheduled for completion in June 2025. As is often the case with historic buildings. unexpeded discoveries can arise. However, to date, we have not encountered any major revisions or changes to the scope of works. The collaborative proied management between contractors, suNeyors, architects, and the client has functioned well. Significant work was undertaken behind the scenes in Spnng 2025 to reweight and amend conlracl schedules following a 20010 Cost increase from 1 st April due to changes in the Listed Places of Worship VAT grant scheme. Thankfully, the project has been largely unaffected, as we worked closely with the quantity surveyor and main contractor around purchase timings of materials and equipment. 14

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF BRIGHTON, ST PETER PCC MEMBERS ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 We also made the strategic decision to teminate our contract with the main scaffold contractor by purchasing the entire scaffold construction. Tris move has saved substantial costs on adaptations and inspections. A local corllpany has now purchased the scaffold in situ and assumed all liabilities. A5 part of the agreement, they will dismantle the top five lifts free of charge upon completion of this phase, leaving the remaining two lowest lifts and hoarding in place. This will help secure the site and facililate inspeclion and costing for the next phase cf work. Th8 funding has also enabled ihe Completion of th8 overhaul of all four dock faces, along with refurbishment of the internal clock mechanisms. This included the much-needed installation of an automated GPS ts"mekeeper and the reinstallalicn of the original hour chime hammer. Finally, the iconic "wobbly pinnacle. vrill be reinstated and craned back to its original position atop the tower during Ihis phase. Stonework Review and Pinnacle Re airs In October 2024, we commissioned an urgent review of critical decorative stonework, focusing mainly on the pinnacles. Much of the decorative stonework is in poor or critical condition due to unsuitable repairs made during the 1950s and 1960s. The inspection revealed a significant structural defect affecling all c18restory pinnacles on the East elevation. necessitating immediate remedial work and the erection of a substantial scaffold for further assassments. Monitoring is ongoing while we work with the stN¢tural engineer and architect to detemine the best 501ution. Red Hall Entrance Refurbishment The external hall entrance has been reconfigured Viith a new intemal day d¢)or. This improvement provides a wamier welcome. enhanced lighting, and an upgraded access system. Reordertn ect We have submitted a proposal to the Diocesan Advi50ry Commitlee (DAC) for pre-faculty formal advice regarding the main church flt)oiing and seating, as requested by the Chancellor. This relates to our Gurrent temporary faculty for th8 existing floor covering chair style. The DAC has responded positively in principle. allowing us to move forward with the fomial application, which wll include consultation with relevant amenity groups. To summarise. we intend to retain the current floor covering for its seNice lrfe. after ￿lch we propose to continue using versatile carpet tiles. To address the concems of the Victorian Society, we wll incorporate a ￿¢>tOne coloured border around the main space and architectural fealures such as the font and structural pillars. Additionally, we plan to keep the existing versatile stacking chars and gradually introduce a limited number of wooden chairs, particularly in the Lady Chapel. Health Safe and Securi Following an independent fire risk assessment, we have been implementing a number of essential upgrades throughout the building as required by our insurers. Many of these upgrades have necessitated faculty or other permissions. The most notable of these is the planned installation of a new fire detection and evacuation syst8m, currently at the DAC consultstion phase awaiting approval. We are especially grateful to Brian Dillon, who ccfflducted a comprehensive security audit. His findings have led to several physical improvements, including enhanced CCTV coverage and upJraded door controls. Additionally, we have reviewed and updated many ot our internal prcfedures and policies. Archivin and Artefacts Bert and Barb Van Cleve have been diligently archiving all build1r￿-re1ated historical documentation. A significant quantity of at-risk materials-including original building plans, site drawings, and historically significant papers-has been carefvlly preserved at The Keep (Sussex Records Office). Furthermore, Bert and Barb have meticulously photographed and documented all our stained-glass windows, producing a beautifully bound book detailing each one. We are deeply grateful for their tireless work and dedicab'on. 15

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF BRIGHTON. ST PETER PCC MEMBERS ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 Finally, we have been blessed wilh such a dedicated team who care for the building week in week out. With their support we have achieved so much over the past year. Stratsgic Development Fund The Strategic Development Fund (SDF) in parlnership wilh the Diocese of Chichester and funded by the central Church of England continued into the fourth year of a project which started In 2021. Originally du8 to finish in 2026, it has now been extended for a further three years unb"12029. st Peter's is the lead church for ihe Family of Churches and continues to work with the Diocese of Chichest8r on the project with three church plants already having taken pla￿. VJhile St Fichard'5 & St Leonard's saw real growth and success, 2024 saw the r&launch of A]1 Saints Patcham with the incumbent. Mark Rodger taking on the role at the start of January. We have continued to support this partnership primarily through fortnightly attendance at Tuesday staff meetings - teaching, worshipping an(1 praying together- although St Matthias are the official partner with Tom Holbird as Priest in Charge of All Sainls Patcham. St Andrew's Moulsecoomb had a setback wth their vicar Wi51 Leaf deciding not to continue Y￿th his incumbency and leaving mid-year. Dan Millest and the Diocese have worf(ed closely together with the PCC of St Andrew's and have agreed to continue with the partnership. They are seeking to appoint a new incumbent and planning lo relaunch. For St Peterfs, the Discipleship Stream and Youth Outreach are the tsvo ath've projects that have developed over the year and borne real fruit wth growth seen in both areas. Lizzie Milne retumed from matemity leave to continue her Youth Outreach role. with Kirsty Stannard overseeing some ofthe project managernent in her absence. The key focus has been to rediscover and strengthen partnerships with schools across the city, most notably Cardinal Newman and King's. It's in school's work where we're really seeing God at work and is particularly exciting The once-per-month All-lns on a Friday at St Peterfs are also a significant piece of this outreach plan where we're seeing those vrfho have perhaps discovered a church in their local area, through a youth café drop-in, for example. eventually coming to a Friday night at st Peters. We continued to receive funding for a couple of SDF related roles throughout 2024. These roles y￿11 come to be funded by St Peterfs, which was a￿ayS the intention and our commilment to Ihe project. A sustainability plan is being implemented over the next couple of years.

The PCC members are responsible for keeping accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Charity and which enable them to as￿rtain the financial position of the Charity and which enable th8m to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for tsking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 18

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF BRIGHTON, ST PETER INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 Extent to which the audltwas consldered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud The Objectives of our audit, in respect to fraud, are.. to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud. to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses. and to ￿Spond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud idenlified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests ￿ryth both those charged with govemance of the enb.ty and its management. Our approach was as follows: We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general sector experience, and through discussion with the trustees and oiher management (as required by auditing standards). and discussed with the trustees and other management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulab'ons {see below). We identified the following areas as those most likety to have such an effect: health and safety,. General Data Prote¢ts"on Regulalon (GDPR),. fraud. bribery and corruption. and employment law. Auditing standards limit the required 8udit procedures to identify non-compliance w￿1h these laws and regulations to enquiry of the irustees and other management and inspects.on of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. The identified actual or suspected non-compliance VIPS not sufficienuy significant lo our audit to result in our response being identified as a key audit matter. We considered the legal and regulatory frameworks dire¢Uy applicable to the financial statements reporting framework (FRS 102 and the and Charities Act 2011) and the relevant tax compliance regulations in the We considered the nature of the charity's operations. the control environment and financial perfomiance. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indicalions of non-compfiance throughout the audit; We considered the procedures and controls that the charity has establish8d to address risks identifi8d, or that otheNise prevent, deter and detect fraud" and how senior management monitors those procedures and contrds. Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to idents.fy ti0n-comp1iar￿e with such laws and regulations, INhere the risk was considered to be higher. V￿ performed audit procedures to address each identified fraud risk. These procedures included: tesling manual jouma15; reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation" performing analytical procedures; and enquiring of management, and were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud or error. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit. Ihere is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detécted some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have proper]y planned and performed Dur audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example. the further removed non-complian￿ with laws and regulations (l￿egUlaritIes> is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would idents'fy it. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non- compliance with all laws and regulations. 21
