St Michael & All Angels has charitable status as a registered place of worship under Section 3 of the Charities Act 1993. Charity Number 1152102

Background, Aims & Purposes

The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body, established by the Church of England. The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of St Michael & All Angels Church works with and supports the Vicar, the Rev’d Stephen Taylor, in promoting the whole mission of the church with respect to pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical matters within the parish. The PCC also has maintenance responsibilities for the church buildings, comprising the church and church Halls.

The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure. The PCC is registered with the Charity Commissioners. PCC Members are also Charity Trustees and must ensure compliance with charity law and church (ecclesiastical) law and exercise a duty of prudence and a duty of care. In the planning of activities the PCC has considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.

Matters related to church and other legislation (compliance with Health and Safety, Disability Discrimination and Child protection etc.) are brought to the notice of PCC members for review and action.

The PCC has complied with its duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, in relation to having due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.

Pamela Thompson Secretary to the PCC

Objectives and Activities

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at St Michaels. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.

In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:

• Worship and prayer; learning about the gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus;

• Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish;

• Missionary and outreach work.

To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church of St Michaels and the Church Halls Complex.

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is of paramount importance and something which is taken extremely seriously at St Michaels. Mr Simon Lee who has long experience in Safeguarding work is our Parish Safeguarding Officer, and our Parish Safeguarding policy is reviewed and agreed each year by the new PCC at their first full meeting following the date of the APCM. The policy – together with our safeguarding information poster - is displayed both in the Church, in the Halls complex, and there are links to both on the homepage of our website. A handle is kept on DBS renewals, training needs and refresher courses using a spreadsheet supplied by the Diocesan Safeguarding team. We also use the Parish Dashboard system and have reached level three. It is our intention to use the Safeguarding Hub too. We join in with the national Church’s annual Safeguarding Sunday each November. Our Lead Recruiter is Ms Donna Mitchell who ensures that DBS checks are conducted on all those who require them. One safeguarding incident was reported to the PSO this year, who dealt with it according to Diocesan guidelines and in conjunction with both the Diocesan Safeguarding Team and the Parish School Safeguarding Team

Achievements and Performance

Worship and prayer

The past year has seen a further growth spurt in numbers attending worship, and more people willing to volunteer their services which is so heartening to see. Our worship has a real sense of joy, purpose and happiness, which we hope is then reflected in people’s day to day lives. We celebrated with great joy the 150[th] anniversary of the consecration of the Church in July, with a Choral Evensong to begin the octave and a Festal Eucharist to close it. A new banner was presented by the Sewing Group, and a commemorative plaque made from the sadly deceased 150-year-old Cedar tree in the Churchyard was presented by the father of one of the Churchwardens. All of our regular events and festivals have been well attended including once again our community ‘Pub Carols with brass band’ at both the Wonder and the Cricketers, attracting large crowds at both

All are welcome to attend our regular services. At present (2025) there are 139 parishioners on a completely renewed Church Electoral Roll. Our average weekly attendance is 130 (including around 35 children). We continue to provide the Sunday readings and Children’s material, along with our Weekly ‘Parish News’ on our website each week.

As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through baptism we thank God for the gift of life, in marriage public vows are exchanged

with God's blessing and through funeral services friends and family express their grief and give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and to commend the person into God's keeping. We have celebrated 10 baptisms and conducted 2 funerals either in church or at a Crematorium or Cemetery this year. We held our annual Confirmation Service in June (with our newly consecrated Bishop, Father Anderson) at which a good number of our children took this next step in their journey of faith.

Deanery Synod

One member of the PCC sits on the Deanery Synod. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church.

Friday 28 June 2024

St Stephen - Bush Hill Park

Discussed Area Dean’s notices, report from the Events Sub-Committee and the meeting was followed by the Deanery Summer Party.

Invitation to the Induction of Rev Angus Beattie as Vicar of the Parish of St Alphege, Edmonton.

Quiet Day

In the Autumn the Deanery held a Deanery Quiet Day which went very well. The Bishop of Fulham led the prayers for the day.

London Diocesan Synod

The Deanery reported back from the London Diocesan Synod (Triennium 2021-24) meeting which took place on Wednesday 10[th] July 2024.

The President, Bishop of London, the Rt. Revd. & Rt. Hon. Dame Sarah Mullally took the address. Key discussions followed:-

Martin Goodwin, Head of Safeguarding, updated Synod on the Safer Churches Priority of the Diocese of London’s (DoL) 2030 Vision. The challenge has been to raise trust

and confidence in the safeguarding service against a backdrop of failings. The importance of training as a foundation for a safer church was emphasised.

Supporting Mission and Creative Growth led by Bishop Ric, Bishop of Islington, in which they also heard from the Archdeacon of Hackney, The Ven. Peter Farley-Moore) and the plans for mission in Hackney and Islington. The DoL’s 2030 Vision is for every Londoner to encounter the love of God in Christ through its network of parishes, worshipping communities, church schools and chaplaincies nurturing compassionate communities and creative growth.

Thursday 28[th] November 2024

St Peter with St Martin – Edmonton

Discussed appointment of school governors to St Matthew School, Ponders End, St Andrews School, Southgate. S Johnson reminded members of the Global day of Action – 3 minute silence on 30[th] November to remember victims of domestic abuse.

Key discussion: Approach to Youth – Growing Younger – Levi Phillips

Mr. Phillips, Creative Lead at Diocese of London - Growing Younger, gave an address to the Synod about the importance of encouraging families and young people to attend church. His team exists to support churches and individuals across the diocese to develop their engagement through training, guidance, resources and coaching. They champion the Growing Younger priority for churches, creating and curating resources to help churches act. The meeting then split into groups to discuss some of the issues raised.

Next Meeting will be held on Thursday 20[th] March 2025 at St. Peter and St Paul – Ordnance Road, Enfield with Bishop Anderson leading a Lenten Reflection

Pamela Thompson (Deanery Synod Rep)

The Church

We want our church to be open to our community for both worship and private prayer and have tried to make this possible as much as we can.

The Church Halls Complex

The halls are still a busy, thriving community space enjoyed by the local and wider community.

We continue to run at around 68-70% capacity with the last 30% being a challenge to fill with only the less preferred days/times available. Some halls run at lower occupancy due to size and facilities.

Our current schedule is shown below:

Current renters and users are shown below

Sherpa Breakfast Club Etcetera Morris Men Tiny Tots – Daycare Street Ahead – Dance Class Christine Bex – Keep Fit Chase Side Dance Sue Bartlett – Keep Fit Cornerstones Youth Club Diddi Dance Sunday Schools Fountain Church Lighthouse Chapel Church Uniformed Organisations incl. Brownies, Guides & Explorers

In April 2025 the PCC decided, with my input, decided to increase the hall cost by 5% to all renters – this was received well with no fall out from any user and was needed to offset ongoing prices increases. The 30 day payment term for all renters continues to be enforced.

We receive a good number of ad-hoc party requests with around a 50% conversion rate. Main reasons for not proceeding is limited availability or standard of hall.

To this end, it would be my suggestion that in the near future a significant investment will need to be made to renovate the halls – this will ensure that current and future users continue to enjoy their experience at St Michael’s.

I am responsible for keeping the diary, lettings, and organising on-going maintenance, in addition to producing quarterly reports to the PCC for review.

We have one regular cleaner, Sue Hoy, who comes in daily. The hall is regularly maintained with a good network of regular trades people that we can call upon at short notice. Peter Newbury (PCC Halls Manager)

Pastoral care

We visit people in their own or Care homes as required taking Holy Communion where asked, and keep in touch with anybody in need via telephone too. We have good relationships with the local hospital Chaplains who assist where necessary. We are often called to help those who have no connection with the church, but are in need of support, and see it as a very important part of our ministry.

Community & Outreach

Cate Brooks and Debbie Delaney heading up the C and O with numerous members of the congregation lending a very helpful hand. What a year! Our 150th Anniversary has been well celebrated on all fronts with all church groups contributing to an outstanding calendar. This year has been made all the more poignant with the imminent retirement of Fr Stephen.

We hold regular meetings and extra ones scheduled when events are due—our meetings are open to all our congregation and are well attended with others happy to pitch in and help when needed. We regularly discuss ways of reaching the wider community with advertising and leaflet drops and revising our list of events to include all age groups.

Red Trolley Books —our trolley continues to be regularly updated, by Kitty, with new books. Cards— we have fantastic quality cards for every occasion and are very popular with a suggested donation of £1 each

Saturday 18th May—Murder Mystery Evening— _ fantastic evening full of mystery and murder! Poetic clues confounded many and our dressed rooms wowed the ‘detectives’ but in the end the murderer was revealed! Sunday 7th July—Festal Evensong— _ a truly beautiful evening led by our Choir Master Daniel. Choirs from local churches joined us for this moving service with our guests served a light tea.

Sunday 14th July—Dedication Sunday— full of pomp and ceremony this service was a showcase for the love that our congregation has for St Michaels. Various groups presented their contributions with our Sewing Club presenting a newly made banner commemorating the link with St Michaels Primary School and St Michaels Church. After the Service, we all enjoyed a get together in the garden with Prosecco and nibbles.

Saturday 28th September—Boundary Treasure Hunt— _ this annual clue hunt was very under subscribed with only 5 families attending although that did mean they all got a prize! The fun clues followed a logical route around the Parish and the par-ticipants enjoyed a wander round in the beautiful sunshine culminating at the Church Halls for tea, biscuits, juice and prizes.

Saturday 23rd November—St Michaels Annual Quiz— our quiz was very well received with 8 tables of varying numbers attending. Nibbles were provided with most quizzers bringing their own refreshments. Fun and laughter was had by all when pitted against the Compare (Fr Stephen) and Quiz Master (Cate Brooks) who’s decision was final in regard to disputes!

Christmas Hamper— This year we had 2 Christmas Hampers and 2 smaller boozy prizes. Each hamper cost £25

It is proposed that we hold a Quiz in September/October to welcome our new incumbent which we hopefully will have by then!

The C & O continues to be an excellent way to include new members of the congregation which increases every year—new ideas and events are encouraged to keep things fresh and dynamic which in turn boosts attendance and willing support.

Cate Brooks & Debbie Delaney (C&O Team Leaders)

Ecumenical relationships

The church was a member of Churches Together in North West Enfield which unfortunately fell apart some years ago. However we do our best to support our ecumenical neighbours, and the Vicar has good relationships with the leaders of all the local churches – most especially with one of the local United Reformed Ministers.

Financial Review

Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £99,746 of which £36,961 was unrestricted voluntary donations, and a further £6,320 was from Gift Aid. £94,623 was spent from unrestricted funds to provide the Christian ministry from St Michaels Church, including the contribution to the Diocesan Common Fund (£31,500). The net result for the year was a positive balance of receipts over payments of £5,123 on unrestricted funds. Adding bank and deposit balances brought forward at the beginning of the year, the balances carried forward at 31 December on unrestricted funds totalled £47,633. We have continued to make small but regular monthly payments to Edmonton Episcopal Area towards the £20,000 loan made in 2019 for the refurbishment of the toilet facilities and replacement of the electrical system in the Parish Hall and will hopefully increase this when we prepare our budget for 2026, although this is highly dependent on what the Diocese asks for in Common Fund Payments.

Reserves policy

It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds which equates to at least three months' unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to around £24,000. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The cash balance of £47,633 held on unrestricted funds at the year end, together with the amounts payable to and by the PCC, remains adequate for this.

Volunteers

We would like to thank all the volunteers (a very large number), who work so hard to make our church the lively and vibrant community it is. Everyone is valued no matter how big or small their part is, or in what area.

Fabric Report

St Michael’s celebrated its 150[th] anniversary in July 2024 with great festivity and the blessing and installation of a new parish banner celebrating both church and school.

During the year, the vicar and warden team have ensured that the buildings are kept in order, and fortunately there have been no major issues with either the church or halls.

The church, halls and gardens have continued to benefit from ongoing maintenance, with the following having been carried out on a regular or as necessary basis:

All works carried out, and relevant documentation relating to these works, are recorded in the church logbook. In February 2025, a quinquennial inspection of the church was carried out by the newly appointed architect, Heather Cerowski (appointed by PCC representatives in November 2024). Full details of the findings can be found in the inspection report; however, it is important to note that there were no urgent items, requiring immediate attention. The recommendations from the inspection will be presented to PCC for consideration. Churchwardens: Andrew Lawrence (Vicar’s Warden) & Andrew Howarth (People’s Warden)

Reports from Parish Groups

Choir and Music

Music at St Michael’s has had another successful year. There have been many memorable moments, but the festal service of evensong to celebrate the church’s sesquicentennial anniversary, where our own burgeoning choir was joined by singers from other Enfield churches, was a real high point. In our regular weekly services, we continue to introduce new elements to enrich congregational worship, including processional singing at the family carol service, and we also continue to find new opportunities for choir members to take solos. Our organist Robert goes from strength to strength and makes the most of the church’s historic instrument. Looking to the year ahead, we hope to help the congregation through the vacancy by making sure that our weekly worship looks and feels as familiar as possible, and then to working with the new incumbent to continue developing the musical life of the church.

Daniel Spreadbury (Choir Master)

Cornerstones Youth Group

This past year has seen Cornerstones maintain strong numbers every week,

Our younger years 3-4 numbers have continued to grow. We have seen a steady amount coming through the door, averaging 33 every session. It’s always encouraging to see both our existing year four continue to attend as well as our new year threes really embracing what we do.

Our special themed nights including arts and crafts, prize nights, supper nights and end of term discos ensures Years 3 and 4 numbers have remained strong.

We have reinvested back into the club with new equipment including a new console which has gone down a treat. Also, this year we have added a dedicated football room with brand new goals. We will also be adding to this with next equipment very soon. We have also expanded our tuck shop range which continues to be a big draw every week.

Our older years 5s and above have seen a steady number remain every session. An average of 33 children attends which is up from 29 year. Very encouraging to see some of older children continue to attend. We have also welcomed our highest number of young adults to volunteer with us as part of their D of E award. In total we have had 6 complete or currently helping us out which is a huge help. We are so lucky to have a very strong group of volunteers however due to our continued growth we will be looking to add more in the new future. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to growing cornerstones further. Martin Reilly (Youth Leader)

24[th] Enfield Brownies The Brownie Pack has currently 28 girls.

During the Summer Term, two planters were made from the 150-year-old tree which has been situated in the church garden. All the Brownies had the opportunity to plant and care for the plants. This activity was part of their “Grow your own” badge. The girls had to design a garden on a paper plate together with soil, stones etc form a garden.

Autumn Term - The Space and Aviation badge was the challenge. Fun nights saw girls design and make their own rockets. Attempts to get their rockets “fly” caused lots of laughter.

The girls designed their astronaut outfits and one Brownie in each group was dressed using old boxes, silver paper and lots of sellotape.

Fundraising for Children in Need raised £460.86p in an hour. Cakes, toys, homemade bracelets, plants plus lots of other items and lots of support from parents.

In the last 3 months we have been lucky to have a young girl called Mariana from Wren Academy helping at Brownies. She is completing her voluntary section of the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award. She has completed this and has now asked to stay helping at Brownies which is great news. She has never been involved with Girl Guiding before and is a great asset.

We have also gained a new adult leader called Helen. She is currently working at the British Museum and decided to give her time to our Brownie Pack.

January saw eighteen Brownies from our Pack and six Brownies from a pack based at St Georges in Freezywater go on Pack Holiday. Barney (Vicky) and I didn’t get much sleep, but the girls had a great time. with more training, we hope to obtain our own Pack Holiday licence.

The most recent challenge is the Archaeology Badge with Helen. Last week they made their faces out of clay. The girls are also working towards their Influencer badge.

Over the next few weeks, the Brownies won’t let me forget Shrove Tuesday so they will be having pancakes with numerous toppings!!!

On the 11th March, a Zumba teacher is coming in for the evening to teach the girls some Zumba too. This year census (insurance) has been increased and there will be no assistance from District. Our bill amounts to £1674. The Brownie Pack will be fundraising to try and recoup some money. Throughout the year they have had games, baking and craft evenings. Annette Corry (Brown Owl)

24[th] Enfield Guides

Once again, the Guides have had a busy year. Our regular numbers have decreased, partly due to some being too old for Guides. We are delighted that they have joined a local Ranger Unit. We have approximately 15 Guides who attend each week and take a full part in all our activities. We were sorry to say goodbye to Megan, who returned to Nottingham to train as a teacher. However, we are delighted to welcome back Betsy, an old Guide and young leader to join our leadership team. We are supported by 2 excellent young leaders, Rosie and Harriet. Throughout the year, we continued to follow the Guide Programme working towards various skills builders and badges from the Guide Programme. We have had our first Guide to achieve her Gold Award since the new Programme was rolled out in 2018. Congratulations to Lara Parkinson. We have been focussing on Skills for the future, particularly involving food and money. The girls enjoyed an evening where they had to make as much profit as possible by completing challenges and paying for the resources needed.

Last summer, we had a visit from The Enfield Bee Keepers who brought a hive and talked to the girls about the importance of bees. They were able to dress in the protective clothing used when handling bees and made a bee’s wax candle to take home. We held a quiz night which was enjoyed by many. The £400 profit from this was donated to the church for the 150[th] Anniversary. We also worked on a kneeler to commemorate this anniversary. We finished the term with a bbq cooked by the girls.

At the end of July we took our older girls and Young leaders for a 3 night camp at Chigwell Row. The weather was glorious and everyone pushed themselves in the challenges of zip lining, crate stacking and cooking a meal from scratch on a wood fire. Sadly there has not been enough interest from the girls for us to run a summer camp this year.

We have celebrated Chinese New Year by taking part in challenges using chopsticks. We celebrated our fabulous Mums by inviting them to a mocktail evening for Mother’s Day and our dads by taking them to Tolmers for a fire lighting and marshmallow evening. In Black History month we celebrated significant women by making a banner highlighting the achievements of some lesser-known females of colour. At the end of October we celebrated Autumn with a Great British Bake - Off evening where the girls worked in small groups to decorate cakes with typical autumn colours and these were judged by parents. They learnt how to pipe icing onto cakes.

In December we joined an exclusive Girlguiding screening of Moana 2. On Tuesday evenings we were busy with arts and crafts and sweet making.

This term we commemorated thinking day by taking part in activities from countries where there are Guiding centres, which included making a sombrero from a paper plate and cup for Mexico, a chocolate tasting challenge for Switzerland and hand painting for India.

The Guides made pancakes and topped them with many delicious treats.

All our units are led by volunteers and we always welcome more support and new leaders to help us deliver the best programme for the girls. If you would like to be involved and can spare a couple of hours on a Tuesday, please speak to me or to one of the church wardens.
