Annual Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council of
Holy Trinity with All Saints, South Kensington for the year
ended 31 December 2020
Aim and purposes
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of Holy Trinity with All Saints, South Kensington, has the
responsibility of co-operating with the Archdeacon of Charing Cross, the Reverend Adam
Atkinson (in the absence of a Priest in charge) in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish. the
whole mission of the Churchi pastoral, evangelistic. social and ecumenical. The PCC is also
specifically responsible for the maintenance of the buildings and fabric of Holy Trinity Church.
Objectives and attivities
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as posssble to worship at our church and to
become part of our parish community at Holy Trinity. The PCC maintains an overview of
worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions as to how our services can involve the
population that lives within our parish as well as the numerous VISttor5 from outside it. Our
services and worship put faith into prackn￿ through prayer and scripture. music and sacrament.
When planning our activities for the year we have considered the Charity Commission's
guidan￿ on public benefft and specifically the supplernentary guidan￿ on chartties for the
advancement of religion. In partioJlar, we try to enable people to Itve out their faith as part of
our parish comrnunty through:
Worship and prayer- learning about the gospel and developing their knowledge and trust in
Jesu5.
• Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish.
Music. which plays a very significant part in the worship in Holy Trin5ty and is what draws
many people to the services here. Tim Roe maintains a very high standard of choral singing.
Our grade I listed building that combines great beauty wtth an atmosphere of prayer and
stillness. Its upkeep is a priority to the PCC and the subject of much labour and expendittjre.

Achievements and performance
Worship and prayer
The PCC is keen to offer services on Sundays and during the week that our community finds
beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. Prior to the Lockdown restrictrons that took effett in March
2020 the Sunday morning service and all ftstivals were d1￿cted prtmarily to those who
particularly appreaated the language and theology enshrined in the 1662 Book of Common
Prayer (BCP). As well as choral mab.ns on the second and fourth Sunday5. and choral Eucharist
on the first and third (and fifth} Sundays, there was a midweek lunchtime Eucharist every week
(Common Worship), and thoral Evensong was sung by the Chamber Choir of Imperial College
during term time fortnightly on Wednesdays. The Wednesday lunchtime service provided a time
for reflertion for those S￿dyIng and working in the vicinity.
These services were suspended during the various lod(downs in 2020. During these lockdowns
our Sunday morning BCP services went online, continuing the pattern of nDrnial worship. We
introduced an online service of Evensong at 6 p.m. on Sunday evenings, enabling us to reach
wider audience, including some who worshipped at Holy Trinity in the past and now live
overseas. We are grateful to the Reverend Trevor Jordan for taktng these seNices. The online
Evensongs have conts.nued after the church reopened for Sunday moming services and will
continue to do so. En 2020 the high standards of music. for which we a￿ well known, continued
albeit in a pared down way. insofar as was possible. most re￿ntlY wrth a soloist to accompany
the organ. We have maintained contact with our small group of faithfiil singers, who brtng
inspiration and tongue to our liturgy, and are deeply appreciated for tt.
The Interregnum that Cornmen￿ on 28 February 2020 continues and at the time of writing we
do not know when a new appointment will be made. We are grateful to a 'rota' of clergy, some
retired, who have taken our Sunday moming seNices (both in church and online) since then.
The Church Wardens continue to be attively involved in a dialogue with the Archdeacon of
Charing Cross, the Reverend Adam Atkinson, conceming the steps required to bring the
interregnum to an end.
We continue to maintain our strong links with the Chaplaincy and music department and
administration of Imperial College. We also have fruiffiil relations with a local non-church
school which holds important acts of worship in the church. The Priest in Charge holds Se￿ICe$
in the school four times a terni.
We use printed Order of Service booklets containing those parts of the Book of Common Prayer
that we use for Matins and Eucharist. These a￿ designed to make it easier for those not
familiar with the BCP to follow. We are an 'lnclusive Church and all are welcome to attend our
services. At present there are 47 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll.

As well as our regular services, we enable our communty to ￿lebrate and thank God at the
milestones of the joumey through life. Through baptisrn we thank God fr)r the gift of life, in
marriage public vows are exchanged with God's blessing and through ftjneral seNices friends
and family express their grief and give thanks for the lyfe which is now complete in this world,
and to commend the person into God's keeping.
Prior to Lockdown on the second Sunday of the month, six times a year, the Parish organised
lunch in the Church Hall, immediately following the morning service. that was usually attended
by between 20 and 30 people, induding members of the choir and visttors to the area. This
lunch was and will continue to be an important part of our parish life and adds a social
dimension to the spiritual and theological ones.
The church is a member of Churches Together in Westminster.
Deanery Synod
One member of the PCC sits on the deanery synod. This promdes the PCC wtth an important
link between the partsh and the wider stmciures of the church.
Use of the Church and Hall
We want our church to be open to our local community for uses other than worshipi where
these uses are compatible with the objects of the church. A￿OrdinglY. outside Lockdown. the
hurch is used by a variety of musical. educational and a￿stiC organisations based in and
around South Kensington. We are particularly proud of our connections with Imperial College,
the Royal College of Music, the Royal Abert Hall and the Royal College of Art. all of which make
up the educational and arts environment in South Kensington referred to as'Albertopolis'. We
host the annual Proms servi￿. During the week the hall is used by a nursery School that pays a
commercial rent to use the hall four days a week. There is also a Saturday children's school
that rents the hall. We are a member of the South Kensington Business Resilience Forum.
A ssjmmary of forthcoming events is set out in our Bulletin that is handed out to those
attending our services and is available to visitors to the church.
Financial review
Total receipts into unrestricted funds for the year to 31 De￿mber 2020 were £160.541, of
which £48,340 comprised incoming resources from donors and a further £9,142 was
represented by other voluntary income. Restricted grants of £61,185 were also received, which
fijnded the btjilding insurance prernium (as well as much of the expenditure on the lavatory
block) and included a refvnd of VAT on building works completed. Income from investments
was £d an3,833 rent from the Nursery school and Vestry flat came to £38,040 Total receipts
increased by £40,523 (33%) compared with 2019- owing to a higher, one off grant from the
Holy Trinity Church House Tnjst

£177.392 was spent from unrestricted fijnds to provide Christian ministry. This represented an
increase of £64,789 on the previous year and was the result of a signsficant inC￿aSe in building
repair expenditure. Total spending for the year included the contribution to the diocesan parish
share that increased from £55,000 to £55,000, helping to provide stipends. pensions and
housing for the clergy.
The net redurtion in Un￿$triCted funds Ylas £33,222 after including a reduction of £16,371 in
the value of investments. During the year, the total fijnd balances decreased from £143,000 to
£109,778, of which £108,166 was unrestrirted and £1.612 restricted.
We have completed the renovation of the lavatory block and made temporary repairs to the
alley wall to the west of the church.
Reserves policy
It is PCC poliq to try to maintain a balance on free reserves {net asrrent assets) which equates
to at least twelve months, unrestricted payments. This was equivalent to £177,392 in 2020 and
is to cover unforeseen events. such as short-term fluttuation5 in cash flow and to meet
emergencies. such as urgent ￿paIrS to the building and fabric of the church, which are to be
experted when dealing with the obligation to maintain a listed historic building. The balance of
free reserves as at 31 De￿mber 2020 was £108.166. which represents approximately 7
months, unrestricted payments (2019: 15 months).
The balan￿ of £1.612 in the re5trttted fvnd represents ftjnds set aside to maintain and repair
the organ. It is intended that this balance will be spent at sorne point in the next two yeatrs.
It is our policy to hold most of our cash at bank in a Nat West C12rrent account, with the
remainder held on a deposit account to meet short and mediurn-terni requirements. The rest of
our capital is invested in the M&G Charifund account, which provides OPPOrtunitÉes for capital
growth as well as a modest but regular income.
Volunteers
We should like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church the lively and
vibrant community It is. In particular we want to mention our thurchY4ardens, Chris Cann and
Paul Meikner (who also serves as Treasurer). PCC Secretary Catriona Howatson. as well as the
rest of our PCC.
Structure, governance and management

En 2020 we commissioned a surveyor report on the condition of the alley wall. which looked
menacing and was commented on in the Sept 2019 QI Report. This was perfomed in the Springi
and the summer works coTrtrartor executed all of the pointing repairs recommended. to buy us a
little time. This wall will require partial reconstruction (the extent revealed upon inspection of the
mortar) within the next tr40 years, possibly induding complete rebuild of the gate pier and
presumably replacement of the rotten oak gate. though not ne￿Sarily. Some of the wall damage
was attributed to vegetation growing against it on the Bulgarian side. The embassy has been
asked to remove this. We will have to pressure them. as the Buddleia (annot be sawn to the
stump without tOY4ing away an abandoned wreck of a Peugeot which has been parked almost
against the wall for a decade. Our faaltties manager offered the services of hls chainsaw, but first
the vehicle must be removed. It probably cannot be moved, but only IFfted. We yielded to years of
pressure from the nursery school and completed a major refvrbishment of the lavatory block, with
external masonry reconstrurtion to cure the rusting RSJS, stone cleaning. repair/staininglwaxing of
the oak door, painting of ironwork, and all-new internal fittings. This was an ideal projett to
undertake in this pandemic year, with no Prom season to service and all church lettings can￿lled.
It was a risky and ambitious programme to complete in the six weeks available. but Universal
Stone delivered a useable faality for the beginning of autumn term. Plumbing, flooring, and
electrical trades proved to be rdther uncooperative amund all of the 'bitty' snagging items. and
there were many. The project was again under-supervised at crucial times. Total cost was £62, 107
{with archttett fees, and after refiJnd of VAT from DCMS, less the £1,510 retention). Such
enjoyable facilities are competitive and can only be good for the church's reputation. They will
show their value over the next 15 years. and shouldn't be undersold. All Class l and Class 2
elertrical failures in the 2019 Inspection were ￿med}ed, and the most Treedfvl Class 3 items
(which are discretionary). A major concem in the Inspettion was around the potential for
overloading of the vestry socket ring/lavatory power cirojtt by all the added equipment in the
nursery school. We have now entirely met the most wonying elettrical recommendation5 of 2019,
by powering the lavatory block fmm a new distributs.on board off its own fuseway at the main
board.

Changes to the Electoral Roll
Unfortunately. as the Church has been closed for much of the year. there have been few chances
to Inc￿aSe the membership of the Electoral Roll. Sadly we have lost three members and so the
Roll now stands at 47. We have been fortunate in being able to hold services via Zoom during the
year and there are several regular Worshippe￿ who are at present not on the Electoral Roll. We
are looking at the possibility of being able to invite them to join.

Actlvities of the Parish, 2020-21
The period Son￿ April 2020 has been dominated by two factors: the Covid-19 Pandemic and our
ongolng Interregnum. following the retirement of the Reverend Liz Russell at the end of February
2020.
The Covid-19 Pandemic has led to three separate national lockdowns, from Marth to September.
November, and January to March. Holy Trinity was extremely quick in responding to the first
lockdown, by instituting online Servi￿ Dearvia ZcL)m video conferencing* from the very first
weekend (2200 Marth 2020). These services of Said Moming Prayer. according to the BCP, have
proven extremely popular and a good level of attendan￿ has been maintained throughout the three
lockdowns, providing a means of worship for the housebound and those shielding during the
pandemic. By keeping the conference open after the actual Seryt￿ for ￿Irtual coffee-, we have also
given an opportijnity to maintain fellov4ship among the congregab"on. Moreover, the Services have
enabled the parish to re-engage with fomier members, now located out of London and overseas, to
the extent that there have been some congregations spread across four continents! During the
periods between lockdowns (October, Advent and Christmas. Passiontide and Easter) we have
returned to church, maintsining social distsncing and following all appropriate regulations. whilst
streaming the services to those unable to attend via Zoom. This has been somewhat problematic
as the audio technology available is unable to cope with the generous acoustic of the church, so
those following the stream are often unable to follow the service dearly. but we continue to
experiment. En the Autumn, we also introduced a weekly SeN(￿ of Evening Prayer, according to the
BCP via Zoom. This has proved to be extremely popular with the Cong￿ation and regularfy draws
a good congregation.
Holy Trlnity vlas able to celebrate the major Feasts of Christma5 and Easter in church, with the best-
attended Christmas Day service for many years. possibly due to the large number of people stranded
in London at Christh)as 2020. The church also had a servitt of le550n5 and carols streamed online
on 20th December, though it was sad to miss the trad5tional Christmas Party that usually follows the
carol setvice. It was also a great pleasure to have a full pnjgramme of servi￿5 and events for Holy
Week and Easter, with Servi￿ in church on Palm Sunday* Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter
Sunday (all streamed). complemented by th￿e tl¥)ught-provokir8 meditstions on Holy Week via
Zoom on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Parlsh has enjoyed the Servi￿ of a small gr(￿P of dergy to take our senia￿S during the
interregnum, scheduled by Paul Meitner. This small group of regulars has been a great SUc￿$S and
it has been a pleasure to get to know them and for them to get to know the parish. The Reverends
Andy Roland. Andrew Willson and Mark Dean have all been welcome regular5. both online and in
church, and particular thanks to Andy Roland for p￿Iding over Christmas and the whole of Holy
Week and Easter. We have also retrived cover from the reverends Sam Follett, Colin Midlane and
Trevor Jordan. Trevor Jordan has also masterminded the extremely popular Sunday Zoom
Evensong5, whith have been such a welcome ￿dItiOn to our Servi￿ and everyone In the
congregation 15 most gratefijl for his rninistry. We have also received a number of vislts flom the
Archdeacons of London and Charing Cr055. partlcularly in the early rnonths of the interregnum, when
we were "feeling our way-.
"Occasional Offi￿. have been drastically curtalled by Covid restrictions and the last year has seen
one marrtage in church in Augu5L We have also said goc4Jbye to two fomier Chur¢hwardens.
PeterGrootenhuisand Mary Sketrh, who were both great servants of the Parish.
Professor Grootenhuis had served as Churchwarden and on the PCC for a very long time and it was
fitting that his funeral took place at Holy Trinrty in January.

A number of our weekday attivities have been ojrtailed by a combination of the interregnum and
Covid restrictions. notably the Wednesday lunthtime Eucharist and the fortnightly sung evensong
by the Imperial College chamber choir. However. the churchwardens have remained in dose contact
with the Reverend Andrew Willson. Chaplain of Imperial College. and tt is hoped that these may
resume in the early summer. It is antitipated that other events, such as the monthly parish lunch
will resume in the AU￿Mn.
With the retum to HOFY Trinity. and a full programme for Holy Week and Easter, we hope and pray
that Parish Ilfe will ￿)0n return to some sort of normality and hope that there will soon be progress
on the interregnum.
Chris Cann. Chutth Warden
Proceedings of the PCC
The PCC has met six times by Zoom in the past tsyelve months. It has five elected members, which
is one short of the allowance that is based on Eiectordl Roll numbers. One elected member stood
down at the last meeting.
The PCC has been regulady updated on the yearfs most pressing issues. These are, first,
maintaining church communty and lrturgy during the pandemic when we cannot meet in person,
either as a congregation or as a PCC. and secondlyrt the progress of the interregnum. Thirdlyi the
church building also has to be maintained even while is it rarely or little used. and the finances
