Minister Address & Questions

We are pleased to welcome new members. Thanks to volunteers from other churches for their help at the Food Stop.

We are putting in a new 5-year bid to the National Lottery – we have got through the first and second round so are waiting for it to go to the panel for a yes – we should hear by the middle of May and Peter asked us to pray for this.

Record number of baptisms and some of them have become regular attendees. It seems attendance has finally recovered post pandemic as the numbers are equivalent to before the pandemic. Aim for the next year is for the two “flocks” (Sunday and weekday) to become one. Lunches have been a tactic used to bring the two communities together. There were no questions.

Page 4 of 2023 Annual Report

AOB - Geoffrey suggested that could return to having some services concentrated on worship.

Michelle expressed her thanks to Carol Edwards for the work she does behind the scenes. New PCC members must do the online safeguarding training and a DBS check. Peter has decided that if PCC members miss 3 meetings in a row without a reasonable excuse, they are considered to have resigned. Steve expressed his thanks to Peter Wyatt.

AOB

Item 5: Churchwardens’ Report

We have a positive vibrant and growing Church with an excellent employed team and a strong and supportive congregation and tireless volunteers!

Page 6 of 2023 Annual Report

We are doing great things to enact our faith and mission, such as: Excellent prayer groups, deliverance prayers, bereavement prayers, marriages, baptisms, cafe church, home visiting and one to one support from Reverend Peter Wyatt, Carol Edwards, Michelle Wyatt, and the pastoral team.

There are ongoing improvements through most notably the bicycle shade, Men shade, garden beds and other refurbishment improvements.

Collectively we are doing great things, we have a new and exciting website in the making and live streaming services which need to be simplified especially replacing our legacy mixing console with a new updated digital mixing console to make it easy for volunteers and church members to run and in line with the latest technologies.

The PCC have agreed that we will consider and deliver a programme to reduce especially energy costs, review the efficiency of how we use and heat buildings, and continue to seek resources and improvements, carbon efficiency in line the wider church carbon footprint and net zero mission.

We will also carefully review all that we do and ensure that energy costs and associated expenditures are focussed on activities and services which are core to our Mission and have clear benefits.

We have made such unbelievable progress over a few years and continue to be committed to make a statement to the community and help prepare us for continuing to show strong service.

It is clear that collectively we are doing better. We will look to campaign and offer support on how to sign up or increase contributions through

regular gift aid donations, through the collection box, PDQ machine or when watching on-line and the website.

Reminders in our notice boards and on website about the challenges we face, and that any contribution will greatly help and appreciated.

Thanking all volunteers and well wishes who spare valuable time and skill to help with the day to running of the church, food stop, community outreach centre and youth groups.

When people pray coincidences happen! Keep praying everyone. It is hugely moving for the PCC and the management team to know we are being prayed for during what extremely difficult cost of living times and challenging social and economic times are.

Jimmy Wavamunno

Item 6: Maintenance Report

The last 12 months has not seen any major work done at St Francis, but that does not mean we haven’t been busy with the usual upkeep that needs to be done regularly.

We have spent time cutting the grass, trimming bushes and plants around the site. We have had large groups of volunteers in who cleared the site for the mans shed and removed some hedges.

We also laid the electrics for the men’s shed by digging a trench across the back garden.

Page 7 of 2023 Annual Report

This year has seen us tackle some blocked drains, blocked toilets, showers and sinks in both the church and the Light House.

We also had the guttering cleared as well as all the down pipe drainage. As always, a huge thanks to all the helping hands over the last year

Roger Pearson

Item 7: Pastoral Care Report

I thank God that despite my bus fall inside the moving bus and the after mat and various challenges I went through God granted me the favour to be able write the report. As inactive member of Churches Together and several courses and get togethers when it is held in the daytime as I find meetings during the evening or night very challenging, even Mother Union meetings. Thank God there are others who have the same challenges.

I visited some of our members and some have gone to rest with the Lord. I called on Elma at the home, Newton at home, Mr Aston in hospital, Cissy Blake in hospital although she did not recognise me. I spoke to Roger and asked him to pass my message to Stella before she went to rest with the Lord.

I rang Eileen but met her absence before Roy went to rest with the Lord. Have since spoken to her several times. I rang Ruth visited her in hospital and rang David several times. I called on Geoffrey’s wife when she lost her mother in Nigeria.

I paid Dorothy Luck several visits and called on her at home. I attended Pam White’s funeral and two other members funerals. I attended the various Bible course led with Churches Together led by Fr Younis at St John Church Selsdon - 5 weeks in October 2023 on the review of the Bible and 5 weeks in February 2025. I prayed with some members as well as carrying out my duties as lay minister - leading, preaching, prayers, and prayer and healing service. I’m a volunteer welcomer at Southwark Cathedral, Voluntary Chaplain at St Evalina at St Thomas Hospital. I am a Mothers Union member.

Olu Akitoye

Item 8: Deanery Synod Report

There are four Deanery meetings each year, chaired by Rev Debbie Forman, the Area Dean. After the business meetings there are talks which are open to everyone. These meetings are intended to provide ways to share time together, to develop ideas and to support each other in all that we do.

They include feedback notes from the most recent Diocesan Synod and General Synod meetings, which this year included the continuation of the Living in Love and Faith process; a move towards independent safeguarding in the Church of England; and with particular interest to us at St. Francis – a commitment to focus more effort and money on estates ministry.

At the last Deanery meeting, we had Carol Coslett from the diocese talking about Lay Ministry, which Bishop Christopher has said he wants to increase, make younger and more diverse. There are taster sessions on zoom for those who are interested in exploring that run every other month.

Item 9: Children’s Work Coordinator’s Report

Last year I thanked God for an increase in the number of children we have. The numbers have increased again! So, praise the Lord again with me! It was rather tricky to run a group for all ages 11 and under but we now have 2 groups again.

Bubbles (school year 2 and under) and Splash (school years 3-6). We would not have been able to do this without Sarah B, Sophia, Channel, Fola and Temi offering to help. So, a big thank you to them and to Jemimah, Daisy, Anne, Sharon, and Steve for their continued support.

We could do with some more people on our team, to lead, help with the groups and to give one to one support for some children. So, if you think this is up your street or want a challenge please talk to me. We also would really appreciate help clearing up and putting the chairs away after church.

We mainly use Urban Saints Energise to teach the children. We have this year taught a series on Christian commitments (e.g. worship, evangelism, giving), identity as children of God and we have nearly finished a series on the Life of Jesus. We also do one off teaching sessions related to the calendar year e.g. Mother’s Day and Pentecost. Sometimes we give the children ‘take home’ sheets. We hope you parents enjoy doing these with the children.

Every Sunday we aim to have fun, to pray, to learn about and get to know Jesus better – just like adult church really!

Michelle Wyatt

Item 10: Youth Work Report - Youth Action for Monks Hill 2023

Our Youth Action for Monks Hill project continues to provide free and accessible activities and support for young people on Monks Hill. Our three main activities continue to be:

Monks Hill Youth Club is firmly re-established in its new home at The Light House and remains popular among the regular attendees. It is currently in a season of change, with new volunteers on the staff team, older members nearing the age limit, and newer younger faces joining; but has maintained a consistent base of fun and safety for all the young people who attend. Cooking and crafts continue to be popular, particularly among the regular attendees, as is the table tennis table; and we have expanded our offering with new games/resources, and more off-site trips, including a highlight trip to Flip Out Croydon.

Monks Hill Football Academy is in the healthiest state it has ever been, with average attendance at a record high, and a large number of them there every single week! We have continued to offer matches and competitions on a more regular basis, with the annual Kick London tournament again a highlight. We have also begun to introduce some off-site trips too, such as bowling and mini-golf, and have really begun to have significant relationships with parents/carers too. Mentoring continues to offer a valuable 1-2-1 support for young people, and allows for intimate and personal support to be given.

Page 9 of 2023 Annual Report

The young people really benefit from having a safe space to talk with an adult they trust, and really appreciate having their voices heard, with the last 12 months having included a wide and diverse range of need and support. Moving forward we expect both groups to continue to adapt and grow and hope to secure more funding to maintain our offering, and to successfully appoint a new Youth Worker upon Jonathon’s departure.

At Church, there is a similar feeling of change and new life! Despite seeing a significant portion of young people leave as they have entered into adulthood; average attendance is incredibly healthy! Whilst there has been a new dynamic as the group adjusts to lots of different faces, there have been some great moments of Spiritual growth along the way.

Summer Camp was again a hugely popular event and saw us take 18 young people with us, another record for the third year in a row! The young people enjoyed a great week of games, sports, activities, and fellowship, as well as worship, talks, seminars, and prayers. There was a real presence of the Holy Spirit among the place throughout the week, and it was clearly felt by our young people there! Off the back of the camp, we have seen the exciting development of the young people led Healing Service, taking place on a Sunday evening on a termly basis. This has been an incredible experience to witness, with the hope that this will only continue to grow in the future as the young people become more confident.

Food for Body and Soul is now a very different looking group, with most previous members having now moved on. The group functions on a much smaller scale but has quickly established a close-knit relationship. We have continued to mix up between cooking/games and off-site events, whilst continuing to allow for deep discussions.

We have continued to stay in contact with all those who have left and moved on to university and offer them support in the next venture and meet up with them when they are back in the area. And for those who have stayed in the area, we have now formed a new Young Adult Group which meets on a monthly basis for fellowship, prayers together, and general support and encouragement, with a hope that this will evolve into something much bigger in the future!

A huge thank you to all those who support the work.

Jonathon Canning

Item 11: Safeguarding Vulnerable Children and Adults Report

At St Francis church, our culture has always been that the safety and well-being of all people, especially children and vulnerable adults, is taken seriously. This year we have continued to hold ourselves to that high standard and to prioritise safeguarding 'Due Regard', confidentiality and data protection.

Jemimah Burns who was overseeing our DBS applications and clearance process decided to step down from this roll. We are very grateful for Jemimah’s hard work and commitment to this role and all the time she gave to it. We are fortunate that the Diocese accepted Jimmy Wavamunno to take on this role and fully facilitated me alongside my role as Parish Safeguarding Officer.

Also, this year, we are going to put a notice board in church, website, and online output, with names, contacts, and links to help the congregation identify the team if they need to talk to us about any issues.

Page 10 of 2023 Annual Report

We continue to follow correct "Promoting a Safer Church" procedure and policy so that all people are recruited to teams and roles using the official ‘Safer Recruitment’ procedures. This year we have obtained over 10 enhanced new DBS reports and certificates.

We are grateful for people who volunteer on our various teams, community outreach groups, youth groups, church, and PCC. They all have a firm commitment to a safe culture and one way they show this is in their willingness to undertake the appropriate training in which they have been helpful, quick and responsive.

This year we have 5 people who have successfully completed Safeguarding leadership training, over 10 people for the Basic Safeguarding Awareness C0 and C1, Foundation Level online training, three who have successfully completed the Domestic Abuse safeguarding training.

We are continuing to use the national Safeguarding Dashboard and we are finding it very helpful for tracking our progress, helping with reports, and identifying areas to work on.

There were no formal safeguarding incidents in 2023. We are grateful to the Diocesan Safeguarding advisors who are always helpful with all queries we have and guidance we require.

Jimmy Wavamunno, Parish Safeguarding officer.

Item 12: Churches Together Selsdon and Addington (CTSA) Report

Churches Together Selsdon and Addington (CTSA) Report Churches Together exists to witness to Christian unity in Selsdon and Addington, through combined activities including key events such as United services on Good Friday with a Walk of Witness following the Cross through Selsdon, in the week of Prayer for Christian Unity and recently also for Pentecost.

Lent courses offer the opportunity to mix and discuss with Christians from other denominations and this year explored Discipleship. Everyone is welcome on our family rambles in each season except winter, which offer the opportunity to walk, chat and share lunch together.

In September the Quiet morning is an opportunity to take a break for a mini retreat.

At Christmas, we sing Christmas Carols for the community at Sainsbury’s.

Gayle Costello

Item 13: Floating Shelter for the Homeless Report

Together with Jubilee church we made sandwiches which we delivered with other items to Night watch every Wednesday evening in November and December.

A big thank you to Stan, Val, and Karen in particular for helping with this. CCFS will have an AGM in May – this is likely to be the last one. A floating shelter has not actually been provided since COVID.

If you are able to help, make sandwiches, provide items for the packed lunches, or pick up and deliver please let me know.

Item 14: Overseas Mission Report

Currently we support two overseas Missions, and also CCAT locally: -

  1. Dima and Mahbuba are ministering to children in Tajikistan, a west-Asian country relating to Russia. Sadly, Dima passed away in 2023, leaving Mahbuba in charge of the work. In the UK they are part of Scripture Union.

  2. Croydon Co-operation Against Trafficking (CCAT).

This organisation helps the police and other agencies (including several churches) to help young girls forced into prostitution, to extract themselves from gangs and be rehabilitated - and helped to find jobs in homes or with ‘safe’ employers. Many other Croydon churches help CCAT financially and welcome the girls to worship and to join ‘safe’ social activities.

3. OMF International

Via OMF we support Miss Priscilla Ng, a UK-born Chinese who is located in a major city in the Far East. She teaches English to local students at a university and runs an English Corner where she is able to share her faith.

Our Missionary support therefore amounts to at least £3000/year.

David Huntley

Item 15: Electoral Roll Report

The roll has 10 additions and 14 deletions, so the total on the roll stands at 72.

Gay Costello

Item 16: Community Work Report

Community lunch

The community lunch has been up and running since September 2023 this replaced the old coffee/breakfast morning. This has been a fantastic addition to the community work at St Francis bringing in lots of new faces and really joining the church community and the local community together.

We have eaten foods from around the world, trying foods that we don’t usually eat, and I think most of it has been successful!

In the first 7 months of running we have seen sixty-three different people, some of those becoming regulars and building strong friendships within the group, we average twenty-seven people a month with at least twenty-two of those attending weekly.

Over the last year we have had multiple whole church/community lunches such as the Christmas lunch these are very well attended, and I hope that we can continue these in the next 12 months.

Page 12 of 2023 Annual Report

Men’s Shed

This launched successfully on February 17th, 2024. We have had twenty-seven people engage with the project since its launch with seventeen of those attending multiple sessions. The men’s shed has been busy building our raised beds for the gardening project as I’m sure many of you have spotted. These have now been planted by members of the food stop and I am excited to taste the first veg grown here at St Francis.

Volunteers

Over the last year we have been lucky to have so many volunteers, our regular volunteers that without our projects could not run right through to large groups of volunteers from a Croydon based business. These volunteers have allowed us to do jobs that we do not have time for on a day-to-day basis such as deep cleaning and date checking the Food stop, sorting out the lofts and clearing out garages.

Outreach work

I continue to support people on a one-to-one basis away from the groups as well as within the normal group setting, this work can be varied from week to week. Sometimes it’s just a chat with somebody who is struggling or help with forms and appointments.

Hall hire

After a long break in hall hires, we are not taking bookings again but in shorter hours, now that the weather is improving, we are beginning to get more frequent bookings and we are heading into the busy period for hall hires.

Sam Pearson

Item 17: Food Stop Report

For those who don’t know:

Food Stop started in October 2019. ‘Food stop’ is like a food bank but we ask for £4 towards the cost of the food and members receive over £20 food and a non-food item such as shampoo or washing up liquid.

People choose what they have, rather than being given a standard bag of food. Everyone can have fruit, veg and some meat/veggie alternative and diary as well as ambient food.

The shop is open every Friday morning until 12.30 pm and on Thursdays we organise the shop, buy any food that is needed and deliver to people who cannot come to the shop due to mental or physical health reasons. Every week we collect some fresh food from Waitrose and Coop.

Every other Wednesday we collect tinned and dried food from Purley Food hub. So, you can see it takes up a lot of man hours.

Our food stop is open to anyone locally who has ‘more month than money’ so if that is you, please put your pride in your pocket and come along to the food stop. And if you have food, toiletries or domestic products in your home which you are never going to use but are in date we can probably find a home for them! We have been given food and monetary support by many individuals and groups, (Purley Food Hub in particular) for which we are very grateful.

Page 13 of 2023 Annual Report

Our local councillor, police, tenancy officer visit us regularly and once a month our members can get a free haircut from Haleh.

We usually have second hand clothes and sometimes household items available. There is always a free simple help yourself breakfast, lovely tea, and coffee and usually you can play a game of pool.

The lowest number of households we have supported since last AGM was 32 and the most was 54. We average about 44 households. Some households are very large and some small so if you times 44 by 4 you will get some idea of how many individuals, we support each week. We seek to be friendly and supportive, showing the love of Christ to those around us.

Michelle Wyatt

Item 18: Minister’s Report

Attendance at church has grown in 2023, and we look forward to further increases, although we must never be complacent. Financially we have met all our obligations and continue to grow our offer. Our God is faithful, and we came through this year with optimism and vision for the future.

Highlights: There were many highlights in 2023, including:

-Growing community work – being awarded £223k for 5 years to secure our community work

-Praise Worship service, African style in November 2023

-Celebrations of the Kings Coronation

-Starting new Sunday school class -Summer camp with the youth

-Youth services

Mission Action Planning

These are our vision areas and I include a highlight for each one:

• Working together – we are very grateful to have some more admin support. Sarah Richard has taken over as treasurer and now does the notices, APCM reports and church directory as well. Penny Goswell is now doing Easy worship, the website, and social media. All of these are helping immensely.

• A Church full of people – numbers are one the up with new families joining us in 2023.

• Finding healing – we have continued our healing services every term and offer prayer ministry at the end of every service, where we have seen some important ‘matches’ to prophetic words given out. We are also excited that the young people have led two youth services where we offered healing ministry.

• Praising God –Thank you to Paul Waddell, and the Harding family for ably leading the musical side of worship – and we were pleased to welcome Elaena on the keyboard. Also thank you to Joel and Deborah who continue to excel at the keyboard, with Richard and Ben on drums. We have been fortunate to have the services of Michael Sackey on occasions. We would welcome more talent, especially as Joel and Ben are mostly away at uni – particularly keyboard and a bass player would be fantastic!

Page 14 of 2023 Annual Report

• Transforming lives in the community – this has maintained its impact with 50 families now attending the Food Stop every week, and the community lunch is a new innovation with 15-35 attending. I always say we now have two “flocks” – the church and the community, and we try to support both in practical, spiritual, and emotional ways. I am pleased to say that more than 15 from the Food Stop now attend church, at least occasionally. More volunteers are always appreciated, both to offer support and do practical jobs. We have also begun two new projects – Men’s shed and a Vegetable Garden.

Other Areas

Cadets

I continue to do “padre’s hour” at 66 squadron Air Training Corps, Mitcham Rd, encouraging spiritual interest amongst the cadets, mostly online. We are grateful for their support at various events.

Thanks

Thank you to Jimmy and Roger our wardens; to all on the PCC, especially those stepping down this year; all who run the Kids Hour who work incredibly hard to teach our children; to Jonathon, and the youth; to our pianist Deborah; the coffee morning; prayers, readers, wardens and musicians and social committee; house group leaders and helpers; sound and PA and not forgetting maintenance of the premises!

I would also like to thank Olu and Steve our readers, and our clergy David for his great help and support in the time I’ve been here. Finally thank to Sam for all the lunches and events, and Roger for being proactive in maintaining our increasing facilities and all they do for our church and community; and to Paul Conde and Jimmy for keeping the grass in trim.

Appendix 1: Public Benefits Report for 2023 to the Charity Commission

ST FRANCIS CHURCH, MONKS HILL

==> picture [165 x 86] intentionally omitted <==

We are a church and provide to the local community all the Christian services and events set out in the attached annual report which we believe are in themselves a public benefit in promoting a strong and healthy community on the Monks Hill estate where we are located. For the purpose of reporting on general public benefits to the charity commission we would specifically highlight the following items: -

We opened in 2021 a new church hall cum community centre which provides far better facilities for community events and services to the Monks Hill community and so we expect the list of public benefits provided by the church to increase over time. We use our website and Facebook to promote the services we provide to Monks Hill to generate a strong sense of community on the Monks Hill estate.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST FRANCIS, SELSDON

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

For the year ended 31 December 2023

Independent examiner’s report to the PCC of St Francis Church

I report to the PCC on my examination of the Financial Statements of St Francis Church for the year ended 31[st] of December 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the PCC 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 St Francis accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

Where the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000, I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified fellow of the Chartered Association of Certified Accountants.

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 PCC as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records.

  3. the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Report) Regulation 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of 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.
