St Mary Magdalene, South Bersted
Trustees Annual Report for 2022
OUR AIMS AND PURPOSES AS A CHARITY
The primary objective of St Mary Magdalene’s PCC is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Revd Tim Crook, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.
Our aim at South Bersted, as stated in our Mission Statement, is, ‘To know Jesus Christ better and make Him better known’ and to make and mature, maturing-making disciples of Jesus Christ. Mindful always of this, our objectives for 2022 were:
BELONG : Everyone hospitably welcomed, loved, supported & encouraged to frequently attend and be at home in one of our congregations and a small group. We are all broken sinners whose only hope is Jesus and equal at the foot of the Cross.
EXALT : Raising our supernatural God to His rightful first place in all of our thoughts, words and deeds. Meeting for corporate prayer expressing with gratitude our entire dependence on Him.
RESOURCE : Giving generously our treasure, time & talents, serving a ministry within this church and a mission beyond it, according to SHAPE.
SHEPHERD : Leading one another to our Chief Shepherd Jesus for pastoral care.
TEACH : Gospel-driven Bible truth, equipping all ages to navigate God’s way and thrive in life’s challenges today.
EVANGELISE : Unashamed clear and confident Gospel sharing, purposefully invitational to services, events, courses & 1- 2-1’s.
DISCIPLE : Making and maturing more disciple-making, growing and grace-filled Jesus followers.
WHAT WE PLANNED TO DO TO ACHIEVE OUR CHARITABLE OBJECTIVES
When planning our activities for the year, our incumbent and the PCC have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on ‘charities for the advancement of religion’. The PCC has complied with the duty to have due regard under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, fully recognising its duty to have full regard to House of Bishop’s guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. The safeguarding policy is accessible from the Church’s website.
For 2022, the following objectives and activities were planned to fulfil our aims:
to provide worship services which are relevant and accessible to all members of our parish community to teach, baptise and nurture new and existing believers
to engage in evangelism and outreach to the parish in various ways to provide pastoral care for people whether part of South Bersted Church or not to support Christian mission activities in this country and abroad
WHAT WE ACHIEVED AND HOW WE AFFECTED BENEFICIARIES LIVES
ATTENDANCE AT WORSHIP
The church family welcomes visitors from within as well as outside the parish boundary, especially on our Livestream. It is our great pleasure to welcome anyone from all walks of life to take part in the life of the church. We believe that voluntary attendance to worship the Lord Jesus Christ is a major demonstration of the public benefit of our activities.
The Electoral Roll at the end of 2022 stood at 79, of whom 32 were resident in the parish and 47 were non-resident.
The church endeavoured to continue providing worship opportunities through on-line live-streamed services on YouTube. Average service numbers, affected by members not ready to return, were 15 at 8.30am and 33 at 10.30am/11am.
Small Groups continued to meet throughout the year, when possible in physical meetings or else on ‘Zoom’, or ‘hybrid’ with a mixture of the two.
We look to encourage the deepening of the faith of all ages.
Over the Christmas period a variety of services were held, both inside the church, including:
-
An ‘Operation Christmas Child’ shoebox collection partnering with Samaritan’s Purse
-
Carols by Candlelight
-
Crib Services
-
Christmas Communion
TEACHING, BAPTISING AND NURTURING NEW AND EXISTING BELIEVERS
2 weddings, 2 baptism and 5 Thanksgivings were held in the church during 2022.
Throughout the year the Gospel has been preached faithfully in Sunday sermons, which are also available on the website for those who miss them for any reason.
All preaching series are followed up in Small Groups, which enable members to dig deeper into the Bible together, to learn more about God’s plan for us, and to encourage one another in our daily walk. We joined with other churches in the ‘A Passion For Life’ initiative, training in personal evangelism in the Spring. We studied the book ‘Love Your Church’ and learnt the ‘Two Ways To Live’ gospel outline in the summer before studying Philippians throughout the Autumn.
A key development in the year was the introduction of the experimental ‘Jude’s Sunday Gang’ service in our Hall at 10am in term-time for families. Using the excellent resource material, Jude (a puppet lion) introduces bible stories. Families sit and learn together at tables, engaging in the up-front bible teaching led by the vicar and discussions, quizzes, crafts and songs. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Breakfast Baps are served from 9.45am.
As a church, we are involved in helping the children of our local Church of England primary school to explore all aspects of faith, and once again our vicar has either gone into the school on a regular basis or provided online assemblies to the school as they requested.
Sadly, this year our annual church weekend at Duncton Village Hall in July had to be cancelled for the third year due to the pandemic. This was much missed by those who have previously enjoyed meeting together to get to know each other on a deeper level, socialise, share meals and dig deeper into the Bible together. It is hoped that this weekend will be able to take place again in coming years.
TO ENGAGE IN EVANGELISM AND OUTREACH TO THE PARISH IN VARIOUS WAYS
As well as regular special services during the year, to which we invite all residents of the parish and beyond, we endeavour to put on various social events to which we can invite friends, family and neighbours and the Hope Explored course. A highlight was a Charity Festive Christmas Concert with the Bognor Regis Concert Band and Regis Jazz Band.
Our church continues to be appreciated by our parishioners and others as a space where life events are celebrated with joy and thanksgiving. Funerals are a special time for ‘providing comfort to the bereaved’, and we do all they can to ensure that the service provides that comfort and help.
The church building has in the past been open most Saturday mornings when a community Fairtrade coffee morning is held. The coffee morning has provided somewhere for local people to come and enjoy a coffee, homemade cake, and there are always church members or the vicar there to talk to if someone has a particular need. This outreach opportunity was reintroduced after the global pandemic in the autumn and an additional time of Thursdays 9-11.30am.
Our Church Hall is available for use by community groups and organisations. The church seeks to ensure that the hall serves the local community, and aims to maintain good relationships with hall users. The caretaker and others work hard to ensure that the hall is clean, safe and fit for purpose.
TO PROVIDE PASTORAL CARE FOR PEOPLE WHETHER PART OF SOUTH BERSTED CHURCH OR NOT
Our church has provided pastoral care to many members who have been ill or housebound during the year. This has involved hospital visiting, taking round meals, sending cards, taking people to hospital, telephoning, praying and many other things, often quietly in the background with no-one knowing.
We have partnered with the Bognor Regis Food Bank for many years, where our vicar is chair of Trustees.
TO SUPPORT CHRISTIAN CHARITIES AT HOME AND ABROAD
In 2022 we restated our commitment that the first 5% of income should go to Christian Mission giving.
We also support the Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Appeal, which is a major event in the life of the church.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
RESERVES POLICY
The trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity’s needs. This is based on the charity’s size and level of financial commitments held. The trustees aim to ensure that the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The trustees have not impinged in any way on restricted funds or CCLA investments and will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.
The trustees undertake an annual Risk Assessment and actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse
conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
The PCC has written policies on the following procedures:
-
Legacies; 2. Investments; 3. Conflict of Interest;
-
Complaints Handling; 5. Risk Management; 6. Committed to Volunteering;
-
Safeguarding

Report to the trustees/members of the South Bersted Parochial Church Council on the annual accounts for the year ended 31st December 2022 set out on pages 3 to 8.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act), and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Act),
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the organisation 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 the 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
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section s.130 of the Act; and

to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
