**PCC OF ST MARK KENNINGTON** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Achievements and performance** 

The PCC meets roughly every 2 months. In the last 12 months, the main issues discussed have been: 

1. Informal partnership with St. Stephen's, south Lambeth. The vicar, Rev Canon Stephen Coulson is also Priest-in-charge of St. Stephen's, South Lambeth, this being an additional responsibility to his being the Vicar of St. Mark's. Rev Alex Mutyaba was appointed and licensed as Assistant Curate by the Diocese of Southwark in June 2023 

2. Children & Youth work. The Children's work continues to be led by Dr. Caroline Levitt in a voluntary capacity. The Church employs a part-time Youth worker, Liandra Odiasempa, and a Youth Pastor, Roger Reid (shared with St. Stephen's, South Lambeth). 

3. Worship ministry led by Lonnie O'Connor 

4. CAP debt advice ministry. Cherie Thomas as CAP Debt Centre manager continued to co-ordinate debt counselling and money education activities 

5. Health and wellbeing. The Church continued the 'health hub' on Friday afternoons, whereby the Church is open for health advice, keep fit sessions, blood pressure checks and other advice services. Fruitful partnerships have been enjoyed with Age UK Lambeth, the Beacon project (Ascension Trust) 

6. Safeguarding. The PCC updated policies and seeks constantly to consider issues to keep everybody as safe as possible. Emma Webb and Audley Clarke are the Parish safeguarding Officers (PSOs) 

7. Finances. Led by the Treasurer, assisted by the work of the Church administrator, the PCC has made decisions about the Church's income and expenditure. We have made significant repairs to all three flats in Prima Rd, and the Montgomery Hall is maintained well. We paid £90,000 as our contribution to the Diocese (Parish Support Fund) in 2022. We employ 6 people on a part-time basis, and 1 person on a full-time basis. 

8. Montgomery Hall. Our Community Hall continued to accommodate offices for River of Life Church, and Local Welcome up to October 2023.. 

9. After a few years of discussion within the PCC and the wider Church, the PCC continues discussions with the Diocese in seeking to agree a new development of the Montgomery Hall and the Vicarage site. No decisions have yet been taken about an agreed course of action. 

10. The PCC continued to be encouraged by the partnerships with Spear (Young adults being helped to be work-ready), ODAAT (rehabilitation from addiction), and the fruitful connections with City and Country farmers' Market (CCFM), Vauxhall One, who held a successful 4 day music festival in March 2022, and Surrey County Cricket Club. 

11. Churchyard. The PCC has continued to work with the Diocese and Lambeth Council The PCC continues to host the weekly Farmers Market in the land owned by the Church. The PCC also hosts the daily Coffee stall, and 3 days a week the popular Bokit-la takeaway stall. As well as bringing in some welcome revenue, these activities have been beneficial in reducing anti-social behaviour in the Churchyard. A designated space by the Church office has been developed as a Memorial Garden. 

12. The PCC provides Governors for our Church Primary School. St. Mark's Church of England Primary School is currently thriving with outstanding leadership, and enjoying the confidence of the community. There were also close links with Archbishop Tenison's School Academy, until it closed on 31 August 2023 

13. 1. In March, the PCC held a Jazz concert which raised £10k towards helping the Diocese of Matabeleland, Zimbabwe develop a new site for a School in Lupane 

14.  The continuing Challenges and Opportunities for the PCC include 

- Discussions around possible Montgomery Hall development 

- Development of new toilets and kitchen in the Church building 

- Crypt use

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF PCC OF ST MARK KENNINGTON** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of PCC of St Mark Kennington** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of PCC of St Mark Kennington (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Transfers between funds** 

The basis for treating Montgomery Hall as a restricted asset has been reviewed. The property is used for the purposes of the PCC with no restriction as to its use or the use of funds generated from its use. It is believed that the restriction was based on the manner in which the acquisition and construction of the building was originally funded. Any such restriction would currently be regarded as having been met once the construction of the building was complete and hence it has been reclassified as an unrestricted asset. 

## **12. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES**

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **12. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES - continued** 

Rev Canon Stephen Coulson received rental income of £8,500 from the Kia Oval for the use of marquees owned by his family that were installed in the Montgomery Hall garden. The equipment is used by the Kia Oval whilst they hire the Montgomery Hall site from the PCC and made freely available without charge for other Church and community events. The PCC and the Incumbent transacted separately with the Kia Oval, and one transaction is not dependent upon the other. During the year, the PCC received rental income from the Kia Oval for the use of the Montgomery Hall. The Kia Oval made an incorrect payment to the PCC that should have been made to the Incumbent. This amount was paid back to the Kia Oval from the PCC. 

The Vicar and Associate Vicar received expenses amounting to £1,189.04 as set in the Clergy Terms and Conditions booklet. On the occasions that Funeral Directors pay the 'Ministers Fee' to the Vicar or the Associate Vicar, the fee is remitted to the Church, who, in turn remit the appropriate amount to the Diocese, in accordance with the procedures regarding 'assigned fees' laid down by the Church of England. During the year fees amounting to  £1,592 were paid to the PCC.
