Review of the Year
Worship
Our Sunday worship was finally able to return
to its normal, pre-pandemic pattern, with
numbers of regularly worshippers gradually
returning to a little below pre-pandemic levels.
We have continued to offer a pattern of
Morning, Midday and Evening Prayer online
during the weel and this produced a regular,
committed online prayer community. We
were delighted to be joined by the Bishop of
London for Morning Prayer to coincide with
her visit to the parish in March.
All Age Worship and Messy Church
We ran a monthly All Age Worship Series called
'Minor Prophets.. Major Topics,.
Me55y Church took place around every 3 months on
a Sunday afternoon, and we continue to be blessed
with a large, creative and committed team of
volunteers.
Messy Church continues to be a successful means of
encouraging local families with young children, who
might not othe￿1$e be drawn to Sunday morning
worship, to connect with church and to begin to
engage with Christianity. We are beginning to
consider how to be more focused on encouraging
people to explore a journey of committed Christian
faith rather than attending Messy Church as one-off
pvpnts.
Special events
The Church was packed for this yearfs
Remembrance Day setvice.
We were
delighted to be joined by our newly elected
memberofparliamenL SteveTuckwell MP, our
two ward councillors and members of many
local children's and youth uniformed
organisations who led much of the seNice.

St Matthew's Yiewsley Annual Report & Accounts 2023 final

Our Christmas Fair proved to be a very popular
communityeventonceagain, staffed byan amazingly
committed and hard-working team of Church
volunteer5. We were able to raise over £2000 for
church funds.
Christmas
We held our usual programme of
Christmas Services in a wide range of
Styles and traditions. The numbers of local
people attending our Christingle SeNice
on Christmas Eve were back to pre-
pandemic levels.
Something new for Christmas this year was
that we were honoured to be one of the
recipients of the 'Peace Lighy. The tradition
is that a child from Austria lights a lamp from
the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem and
the flame of the Peace Light is then taken all
over the world. We received our lamp at St
Matthew's and held a simple but moving
setvice as we prayed for peace, especially in
the Middle East at a time of devastating
conflict People then lit their own flames
from our lamp and took them away a5 a
symbol ofpeace.

St Matthew's Church Centre
St Matthew's Church Centre continued to be a vibrant
and verywell-used communityspace, opento a rangeof
church groups, other local community organisations,
regular hirers and one-off social events such as children's
parties and wedding ieceptions.
During the year Manori Wellington, who had been our
Church Centre Manager & Administrator since 2016, left
in order to be ordained into the Church of England. We
decided to restructure Manori's former role, and created
two part-time post5.. Church Centre Manager &
Administrator 115 hours per weekl and Community
Worker11 O hours per weekl, the latter role to oversee
and develop many of our community outreach projects
such as Little Monsters Toddler Group and our
Community Café.
We were delighted to appoint Jack Clements to both
roles. Jack is a member of St Matthews as well a5 an
elected PCC member (see further details about this in the
notes to the accounts on pl 5 below)
Children and Young People
Our children's work continued to flourish under the
oversight of Heather Werrell, our Children's and Youth
leader.
Once again we ian our admission to Holy Communion
course, Welcometothe Lord'sTable, during the Spring and
an inspiring group of 4children took theirfirst communion
at a wonderful, packed service on Easter Sunday.
We said farewell to ouryouthwork Apprentice, Ann￿laire
Kibbin, at the end of her 3 year apprenticeship. We were
delighted ihat Laura Simpson, 3 church member and one
of our Ignite youth group leaders, was accepted by the
Diocese of London onto the Youth Apprenticeship course
for the next 3 years. Laura and the Ignite team have been
Working hard to develop Ignite. build connections in our
local schools and draw in local young people not currently
connected with a youth group.

Older people's ministry
Our monthly Fellowship Café ha5 gone from
strength to strength, and by the end of the year,
approximately 25 older people from the church and
community were attending regularly. A fun and
varied programme is on offer, including a very
popular visit from a Scottish country dancing team.
We conclude each Fellowship Café with an informal
Se￿I(e of Holy Communion in the Lady Chapel.Thi5
has proved very popular and is helping to draw some
of the Café members into more regular worship.
Our Companions group continue5 to V151t
older church and community members
who find it diflicult to get out and about,
and we a150 take a monthly Service at a
local residential care home. At Christmas,
we held a Christingle service in the care
home, and also visited a couple of church
members in their own homes for an
evening of carol singing.
Social and Community Life
We held several social events for the
church community during the year, of
which perhaps the highlight was the
Maundy Thursday meal during which
we share a simple communion seNice
and then hold a candlelit Vigil in the
Lady Chapel. As we remembered the
events of the Last Supper, this year we
began the evening with an act of
footwashing.

St Matthew's School
During the year, St Matthew's School
celebrated its IS￿ anniversary with a
selection of events including vislts from the
Bishop of London, Bishop of Willesden and
the Archdeacon ofNortholt.
Bishop Sarah's visit was marked with the
planting of a rose bush in the school grounds,
and Bishop Lusa's with a fruit tree.
Celebrating the Coronation of King Charles
We had a wonderful celebration
at St Matthew's Church to mark
the Coronation of King Charles111
in May. We held a special All Age
Worship seNice, and then
hosted a free Coronation Cream
Tea in the church gardens for
the local community.
Alpha and Confirmation
Once again, we ran an Alpha course during the early summer. During the course, some deep
friendships were formed and powerful stories of faith shared. The course culminated in a
moving and inspiring Confirmation setvice in July conducted by the Bishop of Willesden,The
Rt Revd Lusa Nseng&Ngoy, at which t￿0 adults were baptised and confirmed. Both ofthem
spoke movingly about how finding faith in Jesus had transformed their lives.

St Matthew's Yiewsley Annual Report & Accounts 2023 final

Building Works
Some long awaited and major repairs were carried out
to sections of the church roof and gutters which over
the year5 had caused significant damage to some of the
internal walls. The worst affected areas in the Chancel
and Lady Chapel have now been replastered and
redecorated. The programme of repairs will continue
into 2024 and beyond. Detai15 of the amounts Spent in
2023 can be found in the accounts below.
Pilgrimages
Several members of St Matthew's took
part in two important pilgrimages
organised by the Bishop of Willesden. The
first wa5 a pilgrimage from the shrine
church of St Mary's Willesden to St Paul's
Cathedral. The second was a Racial Justice
Pilgrimage which ended at the site of
Grenfell Tower.
Way of Life
We began exploring the possibility of
introducing a St Matthew's 'Way lor
Rule) of Life'_ a simple, shared structure
to our lives as followers of Jesus and
members of St Matthew's so that,
together, we keep growing in Christ.
Our year of exploration began with a
PCC Away Day at the Jordans Quaker
Centre, led by the Diocese of London's
discipleship enabler, Mirjam Ngoy-
Verhage.

Financial Review
The accounts for 2023 had an overall deficit of £12.4k. The reason for the deficit was because major
building works were completed. Our Unrestricted Fund, after transferring £21.5k to Designated Funds
had a surplu5 of £9.2k. The General Fund balance 15 slightly higher than recommended in our rese￿e$
policy, but these additional funds will be needed for further building work to be completed.
Our unrestricted voluntary income was £14.8L 21.0%, higher than in 2022. A Stewardship campaign
took place in the Spring and a card readerwhich accepts on-line donations was introduced resulting in
this increased income.
Other unrestricted income wa5 £8.6k higher than in 2022 with increased hire of the Church Centre and
higher interest rates being received from funds invested being the main contributory elements to this
increase.
Unrestricted expenditure was £9.4L higher than in 2022, the main increases were in salaries due to the
significant increase in the London Living Wage, Common Fund increase and increased utility costs.
The designated Building Funds expenditure was £43.3k higher than in 2022. Major works to the
guttering, external brickwork and plastering was carried out in 2023.
A big thank you g￿$ to all supporters of St Matthew's for their financial contribution to the ministry
carried out in Yiewsley. Without these donations we would not be able to serve our community in the
way we do.

policy was reviewed in December 2022.

Measure 2016, in relation to having due regard to House of Bishops, guidance on safeguarding
children and vulnerable adults.

St Matthew's Yiewsley Annual Report & Accounts 2023 final

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of St Matthew Yiewsley** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31[st] December 2023 which are set out on finance pages of the Annual Report. 

## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees 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 Commissioners (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 Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees 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** 

_Since the gross income for the year exceeds the amount provided in section 145(3) of the Act, I confirm that I am qualified to act as Independent Examiner under the provisions of that section of the Act and that my qualification is as shown below._ 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

- 1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or 

- 2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
