Item 5: Churchwardens’ Report

Church Wardens Annual Report 2024/2025.

We thank you all who volunteer, by giving your time and by sharing your skills ensuring that St Francis remains a special church to worship, socialise at the youth clubs and community outreach activities.

It has been another growing and productive year. The fabric maintenance matters of the church and its environs have improved, invaluable work done, carrying out grass cutting, minor repairs and maintenance jobs that do not warrant calling in the expensive professionals. Thank you to those of you involved, particularly for the work being done at the men shed and minor plumbing and fencing repairs done.

On a larger scale we successfully completed our parish quinquennial survey which takes place every five years but for unavoidable reasons hasn't been done for well over ten years. We are in the process of applying for a faculty for the painting work which we hope will be carried out in the next few months. We’re proposing fresher painting for the church main hall subject to the Diocesan Advisory Committee (DAC) and the Archdeacons approval. Also, the upgrading of the church PA system has been approved by the PCC to be done when finances allow. There are also minor leakages on the church roof which need to be sorted.

Our thanks must also go to John Ruskin College for offering to building the wall to prevent Badger infestation around the south corner of the light house hall grounds. Inside the church, we have done electricity rewiring and replacement to streamline legacy wiring clutter and corrected electric surge imbalances.

Last June 2024 we had a parish inspection from the Archdeaconry / Deanery for the annual inspection. They reported very positively on St. Francis church, particularly with regards to the increase in the number of young families and communicants who now attend regularly among others. Also thankful of the leadership, management, workforce and volunteers.

This year has also seen successful youth camp, elderly and pastoral activities across all the church and the crown was becoming a parish church officially and all the entertainment activities that surrounded it (Fireworks). We hope that there should always be something for everyone at St. Francis church.

Finally, and most importantly, we can't forget those who look after the church both inside and out throughout the year, ground maintenance, the cleaners, the cloth washers etc, and those of you who contribute financially so much to the well-being of the church, servers, the intercessors and readers, the sound system operators, etc. Many of you may be unseen but your work does not go unnoticed, our grateful thanks to you all.

And most of all, thank you to Reverend Peter and Michelle Wyatt for their devotion, caring, encouragement, guidance and leadership.

Blessings and warm regards to you all.

Item 7: Pastoral Care Report

I thank God that I was able to visit few members, send emails to a few, ring a few, and send Christmas and Easter cards to members.

I am glad that was able send messages to few members who had relocated. The response has been positive. I observed that a few started coming back to church with their families, some attended the prayer and healing service, to testify to the power of God to heal and to restore. Others testify the power of God, on healing of their ongoing illness. We have one on dialysis whom we have prayed for who celebrated his 90th birthday praise God. Also, we have one person with cancer of colon, and the cancer is receding.

Another with palpitation of the heart, and their heartbeat is now gradually getting slower. We thank God also for one who has mental challenges and is who has now agreed to seek medical help. May his healing be permanent in Jesus. I also visited people in their home and hospice and prayed with them. I thank God for His healing power on me and family. I thank God for an old member who had now started to come to Church and experienced power of God to forgive and restore. We thank God for journey mercies and breakthroughs at work.

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, one guest speaker we had this year was Joseph Vambe from Christian Aid. These meetings are intended to provide ways to share time together, to develop ideas and to support each other in all that we do, practically and prayerfully.

They include feedback notes from the most recent Diocesan Synod and General Synod meetings. We now have 2 lay and 2 clergy on Diocesan Synod from our Deanery, both clergy in question being new to our Deanery. For your diaries - please support the annual Deanery Pilgrimage on Saturday June 21[st] , 2025.

Item 9: Children’s Work Coordinator’s Report (Splash and Bubbles 2024/2025)

We have 2 Sunday school groups for 11 and under. Splash is for school years 3 to 6. Bubbles is for children up to school year 2 and therefore the most challenging as there is a big differential in abilities in all areas between a 2-year-old and a 7-year-old.

We use the Urban Saints material ‘Energise’ to teach the children. In the 12 months since the last AGM as well as teaching around the church calendar (Christmas, lent, Easter etc) we have taught about the life of Jesus, Holy Communion, Christian character (God made me to….), handling our emotions e.g. what does the Bible say about being anxious and the parables of Jesus.

Every Sunday we aim to have fun together, to pray together, to learn about our God and to be a friend of Jesus.

Many thanks to the Sunday school team. Some of the teams have had to stand down for a while due to ill health and work commitments. We urgently need more Sunday school leaders and helpers so please pray about this and if you feel God prompting you, please talk to me!

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

In the heart of Croydon, South London, the Youth Action for Monks Hill project is illuminating the path for young people during challenging times. Amid rising living costs, youth disengagement, and knife crime, this initiative has become a lifeline, offering free, accessible programs that empower and inspire. Driven by faith, community, and collective action, the project has grown steadily, fostering hope and transformation in a community often overlooked.

Four key initiatives form the backbone of the project:

  1. VIBE (Visionaries Inspiring Bold Endeavours) Youth Club – A weekly safe space for 11–16year-olds, fostering friendship, mentorship, and leadership Thursdays 6:30pm-8pm.

  2. Monks Hill Football Academy – Encouraging teamwork and health through grassroots sports, diverting youth from antisocial behaviour (Sunday 2:30pm – 4pm, School years 5-9).

  3. Food for Body and Soul – Addressing physical and emotional needs with wholesome meals, discussions, and Bible study (Fortnightly Friday 6 – 8pm).

  4. 1-to-1 Mentoring – Providing personalized support, helping young people overcome challenges and thrive.

The impact is profound: strengthened community ties, reduced antisocial behaviour, and empowered youth stepping into leadership roles. With support from volunteers, funders, and the community, the project continues to expand, offering hope and opportunity to the next generation. As we look forward to 2025, plans include mental health workshops, career readiness programs, and exciting events like the KICK football tournament and summer camp.

Youth Action for Monks Hill is more than a project—it’s a movement, shaping lives and building a brighter future for South London.

Together, we’re proving that faith, dedication, and unity can change the world, one young person at a time.

Item 11: Safeguarding Vulnerable Children and Adults Report

St Francis parish church we work and endeavour to ensure the highest standard of Safeguarding practices are in place in order to create as safe community space as possible in our parish church community.

During 2024 all members of the Church expected to hold Leadership level Safeguarding training completed this Vicar, Churchwardens and Parish Safeguarding Officer. All copy certificates are held by the Parish Safeguarding Officer.

Members of the PCC, management and volunteers completed the Basic and Foundation Courses for Safeguarding. All volunteer roles must have a role description and a volunteer agreement and follow ‘safer recruitment’ requirements, and this will be rolled out over 2025.

We held the annual ‘Safeguarding Sunday’ to raise wider awareness across our church as part of creating a safer community and particularly on modern day slavery and grooming. Indeed, we have safeguarding information and contacts on all our notice boards, websites and other social media outlets.

We are grateful all St. Francis parish church workers and volunteers. 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 over ten volunteers who have successfully completed the Basic Awareness and Foundation Level training, three who have successfully completed the Domestic Abuse safeguarding training and two who have completed the Leadership course and others ongoing.

https://safeguardingtraining.cofeportal.org/

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 was one formal safeguarding issue in 2024. We are grateful to Reverend Peter Wyatt and the church Diocesan Safeguarding advisors who are always helpful with all queries and guidance required.

Jimmy Wavamunno, Parish Safeguarding officer.

Item 12: Churches Together Selsdon and Addington (CTSA) Report 2024/2025

All the Churches Together united services this year were well attended and spirit lifting occasions. Good Friday with a Walk of Witness following the Cross through Selsdon, is always the biggest of our events, along with services for the week of Prayer for Christan Unity and now also Pentecost.

Lent courses offer the opportunity to mix and discuss with Christians from other denominations and this year is looking at the life and character of King David. Seasonal family rambles offer the opportunity to walk, chat and share lunch together.

On the Saturday before Christmas, we sing Christmas Carols for the community at Sainsbury’s.

Item 13: Floating Shelter for the Homeless Report 2024/2025

As with previous years working together with Holly and co at Jubilee church we made sandwiches and delivered them with other items to Nightwatch every Wednesday evening in November and December. This year we also did this in the first 6 weeks of 2025 as the church who previously did this could no longer do so.

A big thank you to Stan, Val, Paul H and Karen in particular for helping with this. If you are able to help, make sandwiches, provide items for the packed lunches or pick up and deliver please let me know.

Michelle Wyatt

Item 14: Overseas Mission Report

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

  1. Dima and Mahbuba are ministering to children in Tajikistan, a west-Asian country relating to Russia. Their ministry seems to be highly successful – almost entirely towards children, who will of course be ‘tomorrow’s Church.’

In the UK they are part of Scripture Union .

Like many missionaries they are not good communicators but are in closer touch with Margaret Mowll.

2. Spinnaker Trust is a Christian charity that supports primary schools in London and the Southeast by delivering Collective Worship, Religious Education (RE) lessons, and school clubs . They help children engage with Christian beliefs and values while supporting schools in promoting Spiritual, Moral, Social, and Cultural (SMSC) development .

Spinnaker also provides training and resources for schools and collaborates with local churches to enhance faith-based education

3. OMF International (The Former China Inland Mission) serves throughout East Asia. It was pushed out of China around 1952 when Communism took over but is now re-opening to foreign Christian teachers.

Via OMF we support Miss Priscilla Ng , a UK-born Chinese lady missionary. She has been invited by several churches in China, also in university and college Christian Unions, to teach the Bible and Christian living among students. A couple of years ago, Peter Wyatt and I visited her in Hang Chao, to see her at work, and in a Sunday ‘senior youth’ gathering. She sends us colourful newsletters every couple of months – with lots of interesting items to read!

Our Missionary support therefore amounts to at least £3000/year. Some of our neighbouring churches wonder how we ‘spare’ such a sum – especially when we have been building The Light House. But God knows more about our funding than we do! He has not let us down!

Item 15: Electoral Roll Report

Every six years the electoral roll is restarted from scratch and all those eligible, who wish to be on St Francis roll and vote at the APCM need to fill in a form and sign it.

This ensures that those who have moved away, died or left the church are removed, and the roll is accurate. New members are added and can be updated every year. 2025 is such a year and having completed this process we now have 75 members on the electoral roll.

Gay Costello

Item 16: Community Work Report

Our place of welcome coffee morning has had a reshuffle and moved later in the day to become a community lunch; this has made it more accessible to lots of people that struggled with the early mornings for lots of reasons.

We are seeing an average of twenty-two people a week, this adds up to around thirty-five different people a month. We open from 11am for people to come in for a drink and to catch up with others, enjoy one of the activities we are offering that week, this could be anything from board games, jewellery making right through to game of pool.

The lunch club has become popular with people often bring along friends and neighbours and has become a real community where people laugh together, cry together and form real friendships. Every week we offer a full hot cooked dinner this can be a cottage pie, a Greek feast, a curry, and everything in between. We have cooked and served veg from our gardening project, made apple crumbles with apples from the vicarage garden and even had a local catering company come along and lay on a Jamaican spread.

We are engaging with our local safer neighbourhood policing teams, and they pop in at lunch time regularly which has helped build a trust with the local police breaking down some of those them and us barriers we see in Croydon. It’s been fantastic to see the community engagement grow allowing people to seek support when needed and a face they can turn to if something grows wrong.

The Gardening Project:

Volunteers, food stop members, community members and staff have come together building the raised beds, planting and nursing the plants and taking time out each day to weed and water them.

The excitement was crazy when our first stem of broccoli was ready and that everyone wanted to eat it!! We have grown carrots, courgettes, onions, broccoli onions to name just a few. We have been able to cook and serve some of these in our community lunches and place some in the food stop for people to take home and share with their families.

Community Events:

Over the last year we have run regular community events from Christmas lunch, BBQs children’s event, right through to an evening watching the England football final.

Page 11 of 2024 Annual Report

As always these have been extremely popular with over three hundred people attending this event over the year. These are a wonderful way to connect with the local community and reminds people from the local area that we are here and working for them.

Men’s Shed:

Our Men’s Shed is a dedicated, friendly, and welcoming meeting place where men come together to undertake a variety of mutually agreed activities. These activities can include making and mending things, building home and garden items, repairing electronics, and creating ornaments and artwork. We have seen a real mix of people from every walk of life, this has ranged from students that have struggled in mainstream school, those of working age with health issues that have been unable to return to work and those that have retired. We have seen a marked improvement in the mental health of those attending with some even beginning to engage in some of our other projects.

One to One Work/Outreach:

Over the last year we have continued to give support on a one-to-one basis, this has been across various needs and situations. Some of the most regular support given is to do with benefits, this could be applying and filling out forms, helping with tribunals or dealing with sanctions.

We have also helped people with housing needs, immigration, domestic violence and dealing with social services.

I have kept this information brief on here due to the nature of the support given.

Sam Pearson

Item 17: Food Stop Report

Food Stop runs every Friday morning but there is a lot more to it than that!

Every Tuesday evening fresh food is collected from Waitrose. Every other Wednesday ambient food is collected from Purley food hub, sorted and put in the shop or storage. Every Thursday morning food is delivered by the Felix Project to Field way where we collect it and bring it back to the Light House to sort.

Finally, we then go shopping to buy whatever we haven’t got for the next day. A big thank you to everyone who helps with that.

The Food Stop is more than a place where you can get a lot of food for £4. Usually, we have second hand clothes and other items available. Once a month you can get a free haircut, and the local tenancy officer comes on the last Friday in the month. Our local councillor and police also regularly visit us.

You can usually have a game of pool. There is always a free help yourself breakfast, tea and coffee. Sam is excellent at helping people with benefits advice. People get to know one another and support each other. It is a place where we seek to show God’s love to those around us.

We have seen lives transformed here. This year one woman who had not worked for some time due to anxiety now is working, one man used to come every week to help feed his family but now comes about twice a month and brings bread to share with others. Someone who is an alcoholic has now been to rehab, has a new home, is doing voluntary work and you can physically see the difference in him.

Page 12 of 2024 Annual Report

If you have food, toiletries or domestic products that you will never use and are in date please donate them to us. If you have ‘more month than money’ please put your pride in your pocket and come along or ask Michelle, Sam or Roger for more information.

Michelle Wyatt

Item 18: Minister’s Report

The beginning of the year was overshadowed by the loss of my dad, Rev Colin Wyatt on Christmas day, and it took me quite a long time to recover. I much helped by the support of St Francis church, especially at his memorial service.

Attendance at church has remained steady in 2024, and we look forward to further increases, although we must never be complacent. Worship and outreach have been strong throughout the year.

The biggest highlight was becoming our own parish on 5th November 2024, with Archdeacon Greg Prior. It was an unforgettable evening, with standing room only in the church and many more people outside. We followed the service with food and fireworks. Overall, around 250 people attended, which was staggering.

Highlights: There were many highlights in 2024, including:

 Becoming our own parish in November

 Opening the Men’s Shed in February, which has had a significant impact  Continuing and developing Praise Worship services  Continuing Youth services and welcoming our new youth worker Michael Jarrett who has settled in well

 Youth camp

 Vegetable garden

Mission Action Planning: These are our vision areas, and I include a highlight for each one.

• Working together – I am very grateful for the ongoing support in many areas which has taken the load off me. I am confident that during the sabbatical, the church will function smoothly.

• A Church full of people – we have retained recent members and welcomed some faces to church

• 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 continue to lead youth services where we offer healing ministry.

• Praising God –Thank you to Paul Waddell (and his guest musicians), and the Harding family for ably leading the musical side of worship, including Eliana on keys. Also thank you to Deborah who has said goodbye after nine years, and to Joel who fills in when he can. Also grateful to 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! Also, we said goodbye to Deborah after nine years of serving at St Francis.

• Transforming lives in the community – this has maintained its impact with 40 families now attending the Food Stop every week, and the community lunch is flourishing with 25-30 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 a number from the Food Stop

Page 13 of 2024 Annual Report

now attend church regularly. 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. The Men’s shed had a big impact on several individuals and the Vegetable Garden was a joy to everyone who watched food grow before our eyes.

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 Michael, and the youth; 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.

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 Jimmy for keeping the grass in trim.

Appendix 1: Public Benefits Report for 2024 to the Charity Commission ST FRANCIS CHURCH, MONKS HILL

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 2024

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 2024.

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

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.

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.
