Safeguarding Statement and Report 2024

The care and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults involved in Church activities is the responsibility of the whole Church. St Paul’s continues to promote a safe environment for all, following the protocols established by the PCC in previous years and building good safeguarding practice into our work with children, young people and vulnerable adults.

If there are any concerns, you should speak to Kim Bownas or Rev’d Janet immediately. If you feel someone is in immediate danger, you should call the Police or the local Social Services Duty Team.

There were no safeguarding concerns reported at St Paul’s during 2023. Safeguarding is a standing item on every PCC meeting agenda, with relevant updates and discussion as required.

Relevant training is up-to-date for all members of the congregation, including PCC members and those with other responsibilities, such as supporting Sunday Squad.

DBS checks are also up-to-date for relevant church members, with a regular review of when these will need to be renewed.

Kim Bownas, Parish Safeguarding Officer

A Report on the Activities of the PCC and the Parish

Parochial Church Council

Meetings of the PCC in 2023 were held in January, February, April, July, September and November. All meetings were held in person at the Vicarage beginning with a short Eucharist at 7.30pm before the meeting at 8pm. We have a hard-working PCC with mostly excellent attendance at all meetings.

The Community Centre Committee meet between the full PCC meetings and accounts of their deliberations were received by the full PCC and discussed where necessary.

Throughout 2023 areas of discussion were: church heating and electrics, church audio systems, safeguarding requirements, Parish Share and worship and IT provision. Two other areas were the situation with the Scout group and its premises and the discussion with the Charity Commission about the Assistant Clergy Fund. These items were brought up in the January meeting and continued being processed throughout the year. In February the accounts were signed off and John Hill thanked for his major contribution to looking after our church bank balance. The opportunity for the church to have a defibrillator was raised. In April movement was made in the heating and audio areas, also documents relating to Risk Assessment and Role Descriptions for positions within church were agreed. In July we were delighted to have the appointment of Dr Gwen Nneji as Authorised Local Preacher made official by Chelmsford Diocese. Adult faith development and Green Issues were also on the agenda. In September the provision for our young people, Smart Water and Human Resources Policies were our focus. In November we learned that the next Health and Safety review would have to be postponed until early 2024 due to diary issues on the part of the reviewer. Throughout the year members of the PCC have spent many hours preparing vital documentation to ensure that we, as a church, are compliant with the various areas of legislation. Many items are presented, as formal papers, to the PCC members who need to read them all prior to the meetings so the discussion and decision processes can be made in our meetings.

The PCC secretary and chairman thank the elected officers and all involved for their support and co-operation.

Valerie Thompson, Secretary

The Community Centre Committee

The Centre is the primary source of the PCC’s annual income. It continues to be used by Barleymont Pre-School (our largest client). The Karate Club continues on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Alcoholics Anonymous have started a meeting in the Centre on Sunday afternoons. Private parties have steadily continued throughout the year. Lettings continue to be administered by Judy Halls, Chair of the Community Centre Committee.

It was with sadness that we heard of the death of the Community Centre Cleaner, Mr Satwant Singh, at the beginning of December after a short illness.

During 2023 we have been able to continue to keep the building well maintained. There have been repeated problems with water leaks through the ceiling from the flats above. We have been in regular contact with Peabody, the Housing Association that owns the flats, although the problem was not fully resolved by the end of 2023.

Deanery Synod

The Synod met three times in 2023, with all meetings held in-person. There were regular reports and updates on activities in the Deanery and the Diocese.

The February meeting included a presentation from Paul Samuels of Redbridge and Ilford Citizens, one of seventeen chapters of Citizens UK, to explain its work and approach. Currently there are nine member institutions, including churches of different denominations. Current campaigns included: youth safety, promoting mental health and prevention of hate crime. Churches were invited to consider whether they wish to become members. There is a financial commitment and a need to commit volunteers.

The June meeting included a presentation on Anna Chaplaincy, by Julia BurtonJones. Anna Chaplaincy was founded in 2010 to minister to older people. The organisation in ecumenical, person-centred and non-judgemental, providing community-based spiritual care for older people of strong, little or no faith, liaising with local churches.

There was also a presentation from Michaela Southworth, Chelmsford Diocesan Secretary and CEO. She spoke about her work with the Diocese, her personal history and the Diocese’s challenges and direction of travel.

The November meeting was given over to a discussion on the developing strategy for Redbridge Deanery. Members were invited to reflect on the successes, challenges, new possibilities and needs within their parishes and to discuss in small groups. Many reasons for optimism were identified, including a sense that people are still open to meeting with God; good work in healing ministry; enthusiasm about initiatives in churches serving the community; excitement about God doing new things.

Challenges identified included being a religious minority in contemporary culture; falling numbers and ageing congregations; difficulty of connecting with people on the margins; “spiritual competition” with other denominations; the challenge to turn community engagement and relationship into discipleship. Work continues on the creation of a strategy for Redbridge Deanery.

Far East Redbridge Mission and Ministry Unit (FERM)

The FERM has still not met formally since the pandemic. The Rector of the Aldborough Benefice (which combines the parishes of St John’s Seven Kings and St Peter’s Aldborough Hatch) has been unwell and the Vicar of All Saints’ Goodmayes moved to a new post in June 2023. As a gesture of solidarity with All Saints’ in their interregnum we joined them for their main Sunday Eucharist on All Saints’ Day and enjoyed a joyous occasion. Rev’d Janet has provided advice and support to their churchwardens as needed and has taken a monthly 8am Eucharist at All Saints’.

Goodmayes Fellowship of Churches

The Goodmayes Fellowship of Churches is an ecumenical group of Christian Churches in the Goodmayes area: All Saints’ Goodmayes, Goodmayes Baptist Church, Goodmayes Methodist Church, St Cedd’s Roman Catholic Church and St Paul’s. We have been delighted to welcome members from St Cedd’s Roman

ST PAUL`S CHURCH GOODMAYESANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Catholic Church and from Goodmayes Methodist Church as volunteers on our English for Women team. Other joint activities continue to be difficult to arrange, apart from Lent Lunches, which took place as usual in 2023.

ST PAUL`S CHURCH GOODMAYESANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Worship

We are blessed at St Paul Goodmayes with a steady increase in the number and diversity of our worshiping community. We ensure that our worship is inclusive and accessible by providing an easy to follow service booklet, which contains all the details of the service including the hymns, printed both in regular and large print format. Participation by members of the congregation in the service is also encouraged through the many teams including welcoming, hospitality, reading and leading the prayers, and particularly including our younger people in monthly All Age Services.

Gwen Nneji and Lynda Weekes, Churchwardens

Music

Our choir lost the services of one of our sopranos this year and now consists of four ladies and a male bass. They have continued to lead the music at the Sunday Eucharist and offered a sung responsorial psalm on one Sunday of the month, usually the first, in addition to the regular hymns and Mass setting.

John Hill, Organist and Choirmaster

Church Teams

The Churchwardens are grateful to all who serve on the church teams supporting worship in one or more of the ways listed below. The Churchwardens are always keen to hear from anyone who would like to join a team. Below is some information about the different roles.

10

ST PAUL`S CHURCH GOODMAYESANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Churchwardens are grateful to all who continue to serve on these teams. We are always on the lookout for more volunteers. If you would like to join any of these teams, do make yourself know to either of the Churchwardens.

Social and Outreach Activities

Our social and outreach activities continued well in 2023. Drop-In sessions for residents of Atholl Court and the associated unit at Grove Farm continue (see below).

Judy Halls continues with fortnightly visits to Meadow Court as a volunteer with the North East London NHS Foundation Trust, supported by the Chaplaincy Team at Goodmayes Hospital. An attempt to resume monthly communion services at Goodmayes Hospital was unsuccessful due to the non-availability of a suitable accessible space in the hospital in which to hold services. We continue to liaise with the Chaplaincy Team who are trying to find a solution.

Our ‘English for Women’ group continues to grow, with very positive feedback from learners. Volunteers include members of other churches, as well as St Paul’s. We

ST PAUL`S CHURCH GOODMAYESANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

do not aim to teach English, but rather to facilitate conversation with the aim of developing basic skills and vocabulary, along with understanding of British culture, so decreasing vulnerability and isolation. English for Women is unusual in that the learners are able to bring their pre-school children to the sessions. This is sometimes challenging but hugely appreciated.

Rev’d Janet continues as Chair of the Seven Kings Community Policing Neighbourhood Ward Panel. Meetings provide a forum for liaison between the police and local residents. We have also held a number of “Cuppa with a Copper” meetings in the Church alternating between Saturday mornings and weekday early evenings, giving an opportunity for a wider group of people to raise concerns with the local police, Redbridge Enforcement Officers and councillors.

Parish lunches were held after the Annual Meeting, to celebrate the Coronation of HM King Charles, and for Harvest.

ST PAUL`S CHURCH GOODMAYESANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Thursday drop-in session (a.k.a. Coffee Morning)

The Mental Health drop-in has had 49 sessions in the last year, meeting each Thursday afternoon for an hour and a half. It is offered to residents of Atholl Court and Grove Farm, which are both units for people with mental health support needs. Residents of Atholl Court are entitled to three hours per week of social care support, delivered by support workers employed by L&Q Living, who are based at Grove Farm where they provide a 24-hour service.

The drop-in is called “coffee morning” by the residents because, pre-pandemic, the sessions were held in the morning! The number of attendees varies between six and eight. Attendance is largely dependent on the health of residents. Sessions are supported by the L&Q team, along with Judy Halls, Wendy Hill, Sheila Ramasamy and Rev’d Janet. We have recently introduced some simple activities like painting and drawing. Board games, in particular Connect 4, continue to be favourites. And there is always tea, coffee or hot chocolate and toasted sandwiches.

For Christmas we gave bags of toiletries and Christmas treats to all the residents of Atholl Court and Grove Farm. They, in turn, surprised us with paper stars personally decorated by them with handwritten messages. Some examples: from the support staff,

“Coffee morning has provided positive consistency for the residents every week….” “Thank you for the dedication in hosting coffee morning and for making the staff so welcome.”

and the residents, “The ladies at coffee morning are friends, good listeners, non-judgemental.” “I like coffee morning because God is present.” “Thank you for the presents every year…for remembering all of us.” “Coffee morning is peaceful, comfortable, welcoming.”

“It feels like a peaceful haven to discuss whatever.”

We are pleased to offer this service and friendship to our neighbours.

Sheila Ramasamy

Fundraising

The Fun Nite in January raised £190.50. We thank Judy Halls for organising the event which, as ever, proved a most entertaining evening.

The Autumn Fayre raised £578.75. An enjoyable team event, led by Judy Halls and Wendy Hill; poor weather reduced the numbers of visitors to the occasion which, nonetheless, raised slightly more than in 2022.

The Bonus Ball scheme, which runs throughout the year and is organised by Wendy Hill, is still our most successful fund-raiser, producing around £884 and we are grateful to all those who participate.

The churchwardens and the vicar would be very pleased to hear of further ideas for fundraising activities.

13

ST PAUL`S CHURCH GOODMAYESANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Young People

St Paul’s seeks to be a place where young people feel accepted and among friends, helping them to develop as whole people and enabling them to know themselves, to know God and to grow as Christians. Our plans to explore joint working with other local churches to develop provision for young people have still not been possible. We continue to keep this on the agenda and have applied to the Charity Commission to expand the purposes of our Assistant Clergy Fund, enabling us to use the money to revitalise youth work in the parish.

Sunday Squad

Sunday Squad continues to meet during the first part of the Sunday morning service, two or three times a month. Numbers can vary week to week, but around 6 to 9 children attend regularly. Several members of the congregation support the group as they are meeting and their help is much appreciated. The children play a full part in worship at St Paul’s, regularly reading in the services or taking on other roles. The usual Nativity Play was performed in December and was, as always, well-received!

Kim Bownas, Sunday Squad Leader

Messy Church and Godly Play

Messy Church is a way of being church for families that includes: craft and other fun activities, child-friendly worship and sharing a simple meal. Sessions encourage adults and children to work and worship together. We offered seven Messy Church sessions on Sunday afternoons in 2023, with an average of approximately ten children, plus accompanying adults attending.

In November we began a new initiative, offering a “Godly Play” session in place of Messy Church, led by Kim Bownas, based on the story of Abraham. Godly Play is calm, ritualistic and focused. There is an emphasis on children’s learning through discovery and experience. It includes: gathering and preparation; storytelling; “wondering” - questions that invite children to consider their own response to the story; free choice of art and craft activity; sharing a “feast” (a light snack) together; blessing and individual goodbyes. The session was very positively received by the children attending and we decided to continue into 2024, alternating Messy Church and Godly Play sessions.

School Contacts

We pray regularly for the schools in our parish: Barley Lane Primary School, Farnham Green Primary School, Eastcourt Independent School, Chadwell Primary School, Chadwell Heath Academy and Newbridge School.

In 2023 we were again privileged to have good contacts with two of the schools. Visits by Year 1 and Year 2 pupils from Farnham Green School took place in March and October. Rev’d Janet went to Barley Lane School to talk about Baptism to Year 1 pupils in March and they visited the Church in May. In October, Year 5 pupils from Barley Lane School visited the Church to understand more about Christian worship.

14

ST PAUL`S CHURCH GOODMAYESANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

They had many questions and Rev’d Janet went to the school later to address some of them. They included: “Who wrote the Bible?” “What is your prayer called and how many do you have?” “Why are there different groups of Christianity?” “What do you like about being Christian?” And a number of questions about the Trinity. It was an enjoyable, if challenging, session.

In April, just before the Coronation of King Charles, we held a session in the Church for a group of Year 5 pupils from Barley Lane School to have conversations with a number of adults in our congregation and local area about their memories of Queen Elizabeth’s Coronation. As always, it was inspiring to see the concentration and interest on the faces of both the children and the adults.

Developing our Faith

Learning as Christians is not just for children. At St Paul’s we also offer opportunity for adults to learn and grow in faith and understanding.

Our Lent Course in 2023 used the “Growing Good” material produced by the Church Urban Fund. We offered sessions on Tuesday evenings on Zoom, and in person on Wednesday mornings, with approximately a dozen people attending. The material combines biblical reflection and practical insight with the aim of equipping churches to grow in faithfulness and fruitfulness.

In October we began a Kintsugi Hope Wellbeing Group. Kintsugi Hope is a Christian organisation which aims to help people to experience safety and support; develop an increase in self-worth, confidence and wellbeing and a deeper understanding of the reality of God’s love; signpost individuals to additional support if needed. Wellbeing Groups for adults run for twelve sessions, exploring issues of: anxiety, depression, shame, anger, disappointment and loss, perfectionism, forgiveness, self-acceptance, healthy relationships and resilience. Six sessions were run in the autumn, with the remaining six running in 2024. The sessions were led by Rev’d Janet and seven members of the congregation participated. We hope to offer further groups in the future.

We also plan to offer a Kintsugi Hope “Mental Health Friendly Church” day in the autumn on 2024.

The Parish Magazine

The Parish Magazine continues to be printed on the church copier. Eighty copies are produced each month and I am grateful to Judy Halls in helping with the distribution. Four copies are posted to readers outside the parish.

Most of our local FERMMU and Goodmayes Fellowship Churches receive a copy, as does the Goodmayes library. The sale price of the magazine remains the same, at 50p. The magazine is part-funded by advertisements from local businesses to whom we are most grateful.

Wendy Hill, Editor

ST PAUL`S CHURCH GOODMAYESANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Conclusion

2023 felt like a year of consolidation. Church life had returned to relatively “normal” after the pandemic, but it became clear that it would never be exactly the same as it was pre-Covid. One of the major positives to emerge from Covid times was our learning to use Zoom, enabling us to hold services of Morning Prayer on three mornings a week, and Night Prayer twice a week without the complications of finding transport and battling with traffic. Continuing with these services has deepened our connection with each other through the very regular contact. It has also led to more people developing skills in leading services, reading and leading prayers, which is very encouraging.

We are heartened by the young families who have joined us recently, and hugely enjoy their participation, along with our long-standing families. A valuable addition to our offering for children has been the introduction of “Godly Play”, alternating with Messy Church. Godly Play offers a unique opportunity for children to develop their own spirituality, and I am grateful to Kim Bownas for taking this on.

A focus on mental health in connection with the Kintsugi Hope organisation has begun, and will develop through 2024. Our connection with our local community is enhanced by our mental health drop-in, our English for Women group and links with the local police and with the North East London NHS Foundation Trust. We have also purchased two cardiac defibrillators – one in the church, which is only available when the church is open, and one on the wall of the Community Centre, which is publicly available.

Improvements to our building continue, particularly with the new sound system and hearing loop, enhancing the worship experience for all.

I continue to be immensely grateful to all who give time, effort, expertise and finance to maintain and enhance our worship, our life together and our community outreach and am glad to be part of the Body of Christ in this place. Thanks be to God.

The Rev’d Janet Buchan, Vicar 20[th] April 2024

ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ST

PAUL`S CHURCH GOODMAYES

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023

  1. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the current Church Accounting Regulations and in accordance with the current Charities SORP (FRS 102) together with applicable accounting standards.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.

Funds

Restricted funds represent (a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest, and (b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis.

Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes.

Incoming resources

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognized when received. Tax refunds relate to the year ended 31[st] December 2021. Grants and legacies have been accounted for when the PCC has received the amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognized when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.

Resources expended

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognized when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.

Fixed assets

Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. Movable church furnishings held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the church’s inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Subsequently any individual item which has cost less than £1,000 has been written off when incurred . Investments are valued at market value as at 31 December.

ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ST

PAUL`S CHURCH GOODMAYES

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023

11 Restoration Fund

The PCC had deemed all the income and capital in the Restoration Fund to be unrestricted funds.

12 Assistant Clergy Fund

The PCC had deemed 80% of the income to the Assistant Clergy Fund to be restricted funds and 20% to be unrestricted funds. Current legal advice, however, requires the fund to be entirely “Restricted” in its designation

13 Reserves Policy

The Parochial Church Council is reviewing its policy with regard to an appropriate level of reserves. At present, it has cash holdings well in excess of what might be deemed necessary to meet unforeseen contingencies but much of this will be expended on further repairs and maintenance of the church plant in the coming year. Once these works have been completed, the PCC will establish a new policy in the light of the then available cash balances.

14 Special balances: General Fund

The balance on the General Fund (£130,901) includes the remains of the sum of £115,998.54, a bequest from the estate of Angela Martin, a former parishioner. In addition, a sum of £6,174 is held as a reserve for the future redecoration of the Vicarage.

15 Special balances: Community Centre

The cash and bank balances in the Community Centre Fund, totalling £71,458, include a sum of £19,102 set aside as a Long-term Maintenance Reserve.

16 Appeals

Fresh appeals were launched in 2023 for Christmas gifts for the residents of Atholl Court, the Childrens Society, Christian Aid (for Ukraine), the DEC for natural disasters in Turkey and Syria; and the Redbridge Food Bank. Any remaining balance in the Atholl Court Fund will be used to offer hospitality to those residents who attend our Thursday afternoon drop-in sessions.

The Church Council has adopted the following policies with regard to depreciation of fixed assets. The Community Centre building (Hall) is depreciated over twenty years. The Community Centre furniture (refrigerator, chairs, trolleys, tables, windows, door, water heater and defibrillator) is depreciated over five years. The two newer church heaters are depreciated over eight years. The church cupboards, chairs and copier are depreciated over five years. The new sound system over ten years.

18 . Gains in investments

Until 31 December 1996, investments were carried at cost. The Chelmsford Diocesan Board of Finance held in trust for the Parish 268 Charibond shares. In 2022 the Church Council requested the sale of this asset and the Chelmsford Diocesan Fund remitted the proceeds (£296) to the PCC. On receipt in 2019 of a bequest from the late Angela Martin (£115,999), the PCC invested £75,000 over a six-month period in income shares of the Investment Fund (INVAC) of the Church of England Board of Finance. 4,075.03 shares were purchased at an average price of 1,840.48p. On 21 September 2021 the PCC sold 1,431.99 shares at 2246.93p. On 1 March 2022, 1,500 shares were sold at 2,170.20p and on 17 May 500 shares were sold at 2,112.21p. At 31 December 2022, the price was 2,064.59p. At 31 December 2023, the price was 2,260.53p. An unrealized gain of £1,259.97 has been taken to account. The Council also invested £25,000 from the Assistant Clergy Fund in 1,356.96 INVAC shares at a price of 1,842.35p. An unrealized gain of £2,658.83 has likewise been taken to account at end-2023.

19. Development Agreement with Family Housing Association (now Peabody)

In December 2004, an Agreement to Lease was signed with the Family Housing Association (now Peabody Housing Association) and the sum of £28,750 received by way of deposit on the consideration. In March 2005, a Lease was granted to the Family Housing Association letting a certain area of land adjoining the church for 127 years for a total consideration of £575,000. The rental payable by the Housing Association on the lease is one peppercorn per annum until the year 2045 when an amount of £1,200 p.a. in 2005 value, indexed to the Retail Price Index, becomes payable for the remainder of the term of the Lease. The old Community Centre was then demolished and a new Community Centre erected for a fixed

of £435,000. In 2012, a new extension was added, to house toilets and storage for Pedagogy Auras, who paid 50% of the total build costs of the extension.
