## Kingsdown & Creekside PCC
## Annual Report of the Parish of Kingsdown and Creekside in the Diocese of Canterbury, 2020
The parish is now in its sixth year and is registered, as an excepted charitable organisation, in its own right. The registration no. is 1162554-0
The purpose of the parish is religious activities which are available to the general public. The PCC of the parish, which comprises the trustees of the charity, continues to operate by acting as a central reporting and decision making body for the parish as a whole and oversees the spiritual direction for the parish, maintaining seven parish churches and nine open churchyards via seven steering groups which are subcommittees of the PCC and attached to each church, by identifying and supporting other charitable activities as it sees fit and is able to supply from its finances and by provision of activities that may involve people living in the area who are not necessarily members of the churches. Members can be identified as those having their names entered on the church electoral roll of the parish; the current electoral roll stands at 189.
The PCC achieves its purpose by providing public worship in all licensed places of worship on a regular, identifiable basis which are open to all members of the public. Most of the church buildings are kept open at times other than advertised services for at least part of the year thus providing ready access to quiet and sacred places. Various building works to improve and maintain the church buildings have necessitated the closure of some churches outside normal services but the intention is to continue to pursue a policy of having the buildings open more frequently. Most of the recent work has now been completed but there are ideas under discussion to improve the facilities of a number of church buildings in the
parish. One of the churches has instituted a regular fortnightly coffee morning in order to make the Church a more visible presence in the community and give an opportunity for the wider population to meet together and become familiar with the church building.
Another licensed place of worship within the parish is the Teynham Parochial Church of England (Controlled) Primary School. This building has been used, in previous years, monthly to run a Messy Church - a Fresh Expressions Church, however in 2020 Messy Church only took place on one occasion prior to Government initiated lockdowns and ongoing restrictions throughout the year. "Breakthrough" is also a Fresh Expressions church for both the parish and also surrounding churches. Our isolated rural church with no mains services continues to offer a service of Evensong on the first Sunday of the month during the summer. Additional pastoral work is undertaken including visiting the sick and bereaved, providing social contact and activities through other regular meetings.
The Occasional Offices of Baptisms, Funerals and Weddings are a normal part of our mission and outreach to the wider community in the parish. The previous Deanery based Funeral Administrator post has ceased but there is good communication with funeral directors locally from the Rectory.
The local primary schools are visited regularly by clergy and others where they lead assemblies and are closely involved in the governance of two of the schools. A number of the churches have organised children's groups running during church services. Teaching courses aimed at increasing the understanding of the Christian faith are run at various times throughout the year either as bible study or deepening discipleship courses.
Members of the church community are also closely involved in the running of groups for young people such as scouts, cubs and beavers and a local pre-school group.
Activities, including worship, were severely disrupted in 2020 due to the Covid Pandemic. Our buildings were shut for 3 months and then a new pattern of worship was established across the Parish. However, an audio service has been posted weekly on the Parish Website since the first lockdown of 2020 as well as a video service in a newly setup Breakthrough at Lynsted YouTube Channel.
The PCC meets four times a year (and continued to do so virtually in 2020 via Zoom) in order to set the overall spiritual direction of the parish to review what it has done in the past and to identify how it might advance the mission of the church in general. One of the missional activities is to support the work of "Smile Malawi" which is a registered charity organised locally at Sittingbourne and supporting education in Malawi. Individual churches also support various other charitable activities as they see fit.
The PCC continues to be represented in the local organisation of the Church of England at both deanery and diocesan level.
The ministry of the church is provided not only by ordained clergy but by a strong team of lay people both licensed and authorised. This enables the PCC to ensure that there is a wide range and large number of services in the parish each Sunday (apart from the fifth Sunday of a month when a Benefice Service is held at one of the churches on a rotating basis.). All of these activities are ways in which we work to meet the objectives of the charity.

## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
As the members of the P.C.C. you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. You consider that the audit requirement of the Regulations and section 144(2) of the Act does not apply. It is my responsibility to issue this report on those financial statements in accordance with the terms of the Regulations.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the Act and to be found in the Church Guidance, 2006 edition, issued by the Finance Division of the Archbishops’ Council. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the P.C.C. and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
## **Independent Examiner’s Statement**
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 Act;
- • and to prepare financial statements, which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the Act and the Regulations 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.
