The Parochial Church Council
2
of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Martin Maidstone
(Registered charity number 1149349)
Aims and Purposes
As a member of the Church of England our general aim is "to promote the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical". Within this broad aim our mission is to grow the church numerically and spiritually, to develop ministry and build partnerships that enrich our communities within our Parish and beyond.
St Martin's Parochial Church Council has responsibility with our Priest-in-Charge, Reverend Joyce Addison, in promoting this mission. The PCC is responsible for the maintenance of St Martin's church, church hall and the grounds at Northumberland Road, Shepway, Maidstone.
Objectives and Activities
The ongoing commitment of the PCC is to bear witness to the love of God in our communities and to encourage as many people as possible to get to know us, to know God, to worship with us and to become part of our parish community. We also care for God's creation and are an Eco Church (Silver Award).
We, therefore, look for ways to build bridges and create partnerships with our wider community. We look to involve schools, groups, organisations and newcomers to our parish in our services and events. To this end, our services are a mixture of traditional and modern with the celebration of Holy Communion at the centre. We seek to show through our activities that we are an open and welcoming church for the use of those in our parish and the wider community.
Coronavirus Pandemic
F or the first time in three years, our church buildings remained open throughout whole of 2022. However, we remain cautious as the pandemic is not yet over, new variants continue to arise, and despite vaccination, people are becoming reinfected. We are following Government and Church of England guidance, including the provision of good ventilation, access to socially distanced seating, and encouraging face coverings. Holy communion is offered in both kinds by intinction, and we continue to broadcast our services remotely on “Zoom”. We are doing all we can to keep our congregations safe.
Climate Change and the path to net zero carbon
In July 2022, General Synod endorsed the Government plan to achieve net zero carbon by 2030, and has since published a route map on how churches can play
3
their part in achieving this highly ambitious target. As an Eco Church, St Martins is well placed to play its part in this, and during 2023, the PCC will be working on initiatives to further reduce our carbon footprint and boost our eco credentials.
Achievements and Performance
Worship and Prayer
The PCC seeks to provide a range of services throughout the year that are beneficial to our community and spiritually satisfying. Holy Communion is celebrated on the first, third, fourth and fifth Sundays of the month at 10am, with the service on the first Sunday of each month being intergenerational and particularly accessible to children. A Service of the Word is held on the second Sunday of the month. Other services at St Martin's include Holy Communion on Thursdays at 10am and, on the 3rd Sunday of the month, prayer for healing and wholeness is included. Occasional evening services are held such as our Advent and Lent reflection worship. Weekday Morning Prayer (Mon, Tue and Thu at 8am) and Evening Prayer (Mon at 4.30pm) provide an opportunity for quiet reflection. Details of all services can be found on our notice boards, website, in the parish magazine or weekly news sheets. No services were held at St Hilary’s during the year and the building was sold in August 2022.
At the end of 2022 there were 81 members on the Church Electoral Roll. During the year there were 18 funerals, 10 baptisms and 3 renewal of vows.
Children, Youth and Schools
Our younger children meet twice a month during our Sunday service to learn about Jesus in a safe and creative atmosphere of love, joy and fun. Through bible teaching, worship, play, songs and much more, our aim is for children to have happy memories of church, knowing that they are loved and valued by God. In 2022, we were pleased to see another increase in the number of children and their families attending Church on a Sunday.
Our youth group, Ignite Youth, also meets twice a month for breakfast, bible study, fun worship and prayer. Increasingly this Group is taking an active part in services by reading lessons, leading prayers and joining the altar party
Our work in local schools has restarted following the hiatus caused by the pandemic. We have held, and are planning to hold further, assemblies, services and visits to church.
Ignite
Our Ignite programme has flourished during the year, and we are now regularly attracting more than 25 people to our evening meetings, with many being new members. The atmosphere is relaxed, with everyone encouraged to join in, and for some to take small parts of the services, including reading the bible, and serving food. Our social events, including pizza making, cake making and the Christmas play, have all proved extremely popular, helping to build confidence, cement friendships and improve social skills. Ignite also led a joint Christmas Day meal which was well-attended by the community.
4
On Thursdays, after our mid-week communion service, we hold our very well attended “Tea and Toast” mornings. Everyone is welcome to come along, to enjoy refreshments, socialise, meet friends and enjoy the warm space. Likewise, our singing group, “Sounds of Maidstone” meets on Tuesday lunchtimes for refreshments and to sing. Voices of all abilities are welcome.
Financial Review
We are reporting a large surplus for the year on unrestricted funds of £98,853 (2021: loss £179), largely through the receipt in August 2022 of a share of the proceeds from the sale of St Hilarys Church. Without this windfall, we would be reporting a small loss of £225 which is an excellent achievement considering the continuing difficulties posed by the pandemic, the economic downturn and rising costs. We are truly grateful for the ongoing financial support provided by our congregations through their regular giving and donations. This, together with an increase in our hall letting income, tremendous efforts by our fundraising team, and tight control of our expenses has allowed us to meet all our costs and maintain the required buffer of distributable reserves. It is a particular pleasure that we managed to pay our full parish share for the year of £40,523, together with the arrears of £6,133 from prior years.
Reserves Policy
In 2020, in response to the strain on our finances caused by the pandemic, the PCC agreed to reduce the minimum level of our free reserves from £20,000 to £6,000, and we have maintained this policy throughout 2021 and 2022. This much lower level of reserves represents less than one month of expenditure and therefore, our cash position needs very careful management, to ensure that we can cover cash flow fluctuations and meet all necessary expenditure. We are proposing to increase this minimum level back to £20,000, now that our financial position has improved.
Church buildings and furnishings
Routine and general maintenance was carried out by our fabric team throughout the year. General servicing of heating, fire, security and other equipment was carried out by specialist contractors. During 2022, as well as routine maintenance, repairs and improvements were carried out to our electrical systems and wiring, gardens, and kitchen. Following our quinquennial inspection visit in June 2021, some urgent issues were identified principally relating to the poor state of our flat roofs, parapets and capping bricks. The required remedial work has been specified by our architect, plans have been drawn up and quotations obtained. We expect to complete this work in 2023.
Pastoral Care
Pastoral Care continues to play an important role at St Martin’s. It provides mutual care, prayer and support for all of its members. Pastoral care consists of a number of teams, each with a group leader. All on the electoral roll or regular attendees belong to a group. Arrangements can be made through Group
5
Leaders for post baptism support, hospital and bereavement visiting and home communion.
In 2022 we said goodbye to one of our long-standing parishioners, Mair Feist.
Structure, governance and management
The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Powers Measure. The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. Members of the PCC consist of the Priest in Charge, church wardens and others elected by members of the congregation who are on the Electoral Roll. All members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. The PCC is responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including decisions on the disbursement of funds.
The PCC met nine times in 2022. There are also a number of committees which met during the year and report to the PCC. These committees cover particular aspects of church life including worship, mission, youth and outreach, fabric, and fund-raising. A standing committee is able to deal with urgent matters arising between PCC meetings.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ST. MARTIN’S CHURCH, MAIDSTONE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
I report on the accounts of St. Martin’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) for the year ended 31 December 2022, which comprise the Receipts and Payments Account and Statement of Assets and Liabilities and related notes set out on pages 9 to 14.
Respective responsibilities of members and examiner
The members are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The members 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 needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioner under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioner. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Parochial Church Council and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as members 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 material matters have come to my attention which give me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement to show a ‘true and fair’ view, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
