## CHURCH FOR ALL INCLUDING YOU ## ST BARNABAS’ CLAPHAM COMMON WWW.STBCC.CO.UK ## 2021 ANNUAL REPORT ## PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL ## 22 MAY 2022 This is is the annual report of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) of St. Barnabas’ Church, Clapham Common for 2021. It was collectively written and contains a review of the year, the statement on the responsibilities of the PCC, a treasurer’s report and a summary of the church accounts. A full set of accounts with the description of the accounting policies and the independent examiner’s report on the church accounts is available separately. ## VICAR'S REPORT I know, I know. Grateful enough as we were for it at the time, no one needs to be reminded about doing church on Zoom – it seems so 2020 after all and really, no one wants to go back there. However, to give credit where it is due, in 2021, Zoom did permit an Easter Day service (complete with Word Cloud), enable PCC to go about its monthly business and provide the means for me as Area Dean to lead another church’s Annual Meeting, too. But as the cartoon suggests, what we see happening online may very well be partial – it’s always possible that there is more going on than meets the eye - and, as it happens, this is very true of church, as well. As this year’s very visual Annual Report illustrates, a lot happened in the life of St Barnabas 2021, much of which you might not have got to see at the time. And of course, what makes this possible, is the contribution of many volunteering themselvesto serve, remembering especially those chief volunteers whom we call Wardens, Hopey and Mike. Whether you prefer your Annual Report online or printed out, I hope that this year’s version will get your undivided attention. _Rev Richard Taylor_ ## CURATE'S REPORT See how time flies … hard to believe that I am coming up to two years as a curate since being at St Barnabas from June 2020. The last year has certainly been an enriching one as I have been able to do more pastoral visits than the previous year; had more insight and participated in almost all that is part of the DNA of this church (apart from ‘bring and share lunch’ which is yet to come!). Being part of the ministry team here, under Richard’s leadership, has been (and continues to be) a rewarding experience as we welcome all that God wants to do in and through us. _Rev Ian Luke-Macauley_ LOCKDOWN 2 The year 2021 started with a second lockdown that prevented public gatherings. Services were online but the church opened for private prayers. We held an afternoon vigil service following the disappearance of Sarah Everard and commemorated the anniversary of the 1st lockdown with a service, private prayers and ribbons tied on the railings. ## EASTER Easter marked a return to 'in-person' services with a 6am Easter sunrise service, followed by a mid-morning online service that, as shown by this Word Cloud, enabled creative interaction. After Easter, services and groups in church gradually returned as restrictions were eased. ## CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE _*Collage from the 1st Grid session_ Sunday provision for children and young people remained online the 1st half of the year with zoom meetings and videos of bible stories and craft. Our groups, returned from September with Film Bible Study for Yrs 12&13, Grid for Yr7-11, Splash for Rec to Yr 6 as well as monthly family and all age services. ## PASTORAL OFFICES We were delighted to celebrate our 1st baptism of the year on 13 June 2021 once restrictions were lifted: Joah Fabiyi was baptised after having had to cancel twice because of lockdowns. There were a total of ten baptisms, two socially-distanced weddings with a maximum of 30 people and six funerals. Some services were live streamed to reach family and friends across the globe. In October, Sam Matthews, Finlay Taylor, Jeremy Simmons and Gabby Waters were confirmed by Bishop Michael. ## ORDINATIONS The first half of the year ended with celebrations for our former parish assistants: Amanda Arthur was priested on the 23rd of June in Walsall whilst Susan Wright was ordained deacon on the 26th of June. Ian Luke-Macauley, our curate, was priested on 3rd July before presiding in St Barnabas the following day with Bishop Antony Poggo deaconing. ## COMMUNITY GROUPS Community groups gradually resumed meetings from May with Barney's welcoming families, delighted to meet other parents and 'lockdown' babies and the Tuesday Bible Study and Thursday Fellowship groups gradually resuming meetings. We were delighted with the return of the traditional July Garden Party at the vicarage. After many years of leadership, group leaders Cicely Meehan, Magaret Hind and Lena O'Dwyer decided to take a much deserved break. We thank them for their commitment and dedication over the years and we thank Pat Shabaan for her continued leadership as well as Yvonne Langley for taking the lead. The neighbourhood groups formed in 2020 continued to meet and welcome new members. ## COURSES We ran two courses in 2021. The Lent course, led online by Vicky & Ian was an opportunity to retrace the steps of Jesus in the desert, through videos, readings and reflections. In September, we ran a new course, this time in person: Living in Love & Faith explored questions about identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage. ## BATTERSEA DEANERY SYNOD Battersea Deanery Synod were glad to be back together in person for the Summer Garden Party at St Michael’s Vicarage with tasty food provided by Waste Not Want Not, uplifting music from the Community Gospel Choir and an urgent challenge from XR Wandsworth. It had been a quieter year for Battersea Welcomes Refugees on the whole but the evacuation from Afghanistan in August meant readying ourselves for the expected arrival of Afghan families in Battersea in 2022. The Synod met a total of three times in 2021; and after six years in the role, Richard will finish as Area Dean in September 2022. ## LETTINGS & FINANCE The easing of restrictions enabled the return of some groups from April but lettings operated at less than half the capacity. Despite this, we were delighted to offer a venue to a new support group after what had been a very difficult period for people suffering from addictions. We also tried out new ventures with an outdoor coffee van, Howling Owl, to make the most of our spaces, indoor and outdoor. Overall, the shortfall of income experienced in 2020 continued through to 2021 as restrictions prevented a normal level of lettings and services were impacted by the lockdown. This was partly made up by the rise in regular donations which help meet our pledge to the Parish Support Fund, pay staff and maintenance costs and support our mission in the parish and beyond. Thank you for your continuing generosity. ## MISSION GIVING In 2021, the PCC allocated £4,750 (5% of voluntary giving) for our annual Mission Giving, with £850 going to Deanery Schools, £800 to Friends of the Earth, £800 to Care for the Family, £800 to International Justice Mission and £1,500 to Citizens UK (see below to read about what we got up to in our first year of membership in the Wandsworth Alliance). ## GLASSDOOR Rotating night shelters remained closed but hot dinners were served every night for the 2020/2021 season (3 times a week from St Barnabas). This was not repeated for the 2021/2022 season as Glassdoor focused on securing sheltered accommodation and providing support to the homeless community. Five members of church participated in the annual Sleep Out to help raise funds for GlassDoor - this photo taken c.4.30am on 02 October 2022 after spending the night in Duke of York Square. ## CITIZENS UK In February, we joined Citizens UK' online training for the South London Listens which marked the beginning of a new campaign: to help improve mental health services. Later on in October, seven members of church attended another training session to learn how to do Community Organising. ## FABRICS No major works were undertaken in 2021 but we made the most of the 'quiet' period to renovate the flooring of the Choir Vestry; and in anticipation of new front doors in 2022, the stone work around the entrance was cleaned up as well. ## PARISH CHURCH COUNCIL The PCC Trustees share responsibility for promoting the whole mission of the Church, its financial accountability, safeguarding users, the maintenance, preservation and insurance of the fabric of the Grade II listed building. They met 9 times in 2021 including once outdoors in the vicarage garden. Hopey Wilson continued as warden to oversee our Sundays, joined by Michael Burton to focus on the fabrics. We thank Yvonne Langley who stepped down after serving for seven years. ## SAFEGUARDING St Barnabas adheres to the Diocesan guidance _A Safe Church_ when it comes to protecting vulnerable groups within the church environment. Using the Diocesan Annual Safeguarding Review, the Vicar, churchwardens and parish safeguarding officers (Sarita Rampat and Sandrine Simmons) systematically check procedures and then the PCC as a whole re-affirms its commitment to safeguarding children, vulnerable adults and those at risk of domestic abuse. Measures include carrying out DBS checks on groups’ leaders, pastoral team members, PCC members and ensuring hirers agree to observe the church’s safeguarding policies. Policies of our practice and for responding to concerns can be found on the notice board and copies of the manual are available for reference at the back of the worship area, in the office, and online from our website and the Diocesan website. ## ELECTORAL ROLL The roll was revised in 2021. There were 112 members. ## STAFF There were no changes to the staff team in 2021. Anna Foxley, a new ordinand studying part time at St Mellitus has joined us on placement as part of her training. The church is located on the north side of Clapham Common at the corner of Lavender Gardens. Correspondence should be addressed to: Rev.

I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: - the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities 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 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. * _Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply._ **Signed: Name:** Douglas Pearson **Relevant professional** ICAS **qualification(s) or body (if any):** **Date:** 12/03/2022 **Oct 2018** 1 **IER** ## **Address:** Flat 2, Read House Clayton Street SE11 5SF, London ## **Section B Disclosure** Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight material matters of concern (see CC32, Independent examination of charity accounts: directions and guidance for examiners). **Give here brief details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose** . n/a **Oct 2018** 2 **IER**
