Trustees: The chair of trustees from January to April 2024 was the Reverend Katie Kelly, our curate, who moved to her own Parish on completing her training.

Steven Punt stood down from the PCC but continues to do the service sheet and newsletter printing as well as the various flyers, for which the PCC is very grateful.

David and Thelma Mouque are supporting the Together Outside team which is now led by Julie Betts.

The PCC continued to employ Danny Cooper as foodbank manager and Neal Long as manager of the Community Garden. Their salaries being paid through Grant Funding from the National Lottery and Garfield Weston, which Reverend Catherine successfully bid for before she left the parish in January. At this point, Elaine McNaughton became Danny Cooper’s line manager and Paul Betts, Neal Long’s. Nick Harrison continued, on a voluntary basis, to administer the payroll and other HR matters, for which the PCC is very grateful, and Ruth Slater took over the administration of the pension scheme ,.

In April, Sam Kapp was appointed part time administrator, to revamp the website, promote the church and its community activities on social media, to collate the monthly hall/church bookings and produce a monthly newsletter.

Ruth Slater took over the weekly news email to the community which covers 98 people.

Tim Gough has continued to serve as Quinquennial Architect.

CCSE9 (formerly StEP), left the premises in January 2024 .

The Fundraising and fairs sub-committee has become part of the PCC and has its own agenda at the relevant meetings.

The main fundraising events of the year have included the Christmas Fair, the Summer Fair in July, a Table Top sale in October, the Friday Community Lunches and the quarterly Afternoon Teas. The annual Race Night in the spring is always well supported

The following contractors carried out work on the buildings during 2024: Chris Presley & TDC (Principal Contractor), Millers Electricals, Wesley Mack Plumbers, Ignite Construction, SK Fire, MFP Heating and Spy Alarms.

Other funders and donors during 2024 have included:

For the foodbank: Local donors including PCC members, St. Augustine’s Church Grove Park, St John the Baptist Eltham, and West Kent Masonic society. We were also very grateful for harvest festival food donations from a number of local schools and churches, plus toy donations for foodbank children from various sources including The West Kent Widows Sons, Masonic Bikers’ Association, the Rotary Club and various individuals. For the Church: Pete Thomas, and those in the community who volunteers shop for.

Other sub-committees and teams set up at the end of 2024 in the light of the potential vacancy included: Pastoral Care and Visiting

Ruth Slater, Pat Dockree, Anne Hoad, Katie Kelly and David and Thelma Mouque.

Mission Action Planning

Policies, Risk Assessments and Training:

All policies, such as Safeguarding, GDPR, Equality and Diversity, the Environment, Financial Procedures have been reviewed and adopted by the PCC. New policies, required by the Charity Commission including Whistleblowing, Anti bullying and Social Media policies have also come into force. We have continued to review, update and implement our Buildings Maintenance Policy in the light of the various buildings improvements and have also reviewed in depth the Health and Safety policies in the light of new equipment and activities.

Risk assessments under the various sets of government guidelines have been ongoing for all activities and new events such as the Race Night. Whilst formal Covid 19 regulations are no longer in force attention has continued to be paid to infection management in the light of the high levels of viruses and flus that are circulating; this applies in general management of the site and in our Food Safety policies and training. Lone Working, Volunteering and Safer Recruitment policies also continue in place and Risk Assessments have also been developed in relation to these aspects of our work, particularly now that the foodbank and community garden office space has moved to the church/hall office instead of the vicarage.

All PCC members have up to date safeguarding training and 3 further members of the Friday lunch team completed food safety training. Courses on loneliness, dementia. befriending, visiting etc have been attended.

Objects, Activities, Achievements and Partnerships:

The PCC is established for the benefit of the public both within its parochial area[4] and for any from further afield who wish to visit the church or attend the activities in the church hall.

The purposes of the PCC are Christian Mission as part of the Church of England and the worldwide Anglican Communion. We seek to live out the mission priorities of the Anglican communion by welcoming and baptizing new members; to proclaiming and living out the Gospel, serving our community, seeking social justice and living sustainably in creation. St Edward’s particularly aims to live out its mission through a commitment to inclusion and welcome for all who wish to attend worship, services (including baptisms, weddings, blessings and funerals) and a wide range of community activities.

St Edward’s activities (either run or hosted by the church) include signposting, the foodbank, the community garden, pastoral visiting and phone calls, young Mum’s hub, exercise classes including, Zumba, Zumba Gold and Seated Zumba, Slimming World, dance and community meals.

We have welcomed Fit4 Future, (a children’s holiday club, funded by LBB), the 6[th] district Scout movement and Puppy Dog training classes as new users of our hall. We continue to offer space for Children’s parties on a Saturday afternoon. Another regular hall hirer, Potters House Church, continues to use the hall on Sundays and also Thursday evenings.

A nativity scene was created in church using only recyclable materials, which were collected by members of the congregation and the wider community, including some of our foodbank clients. It has proven to be very popular with our worshipping community, especially the children who helped create it. We believe this was a positive approach to our commitment to being environmentally friendly, following our bronze eco church award.

In addition to St Edward’s Sunday services, which have been led by various priests in the diocese, we have continued the Wednesday evening service and Morning Prayer on a Tuesday and Thursday. Reverend Katie introduced the weekly Morning Prayer at 9am every Friday followed by a Standing Committee Meeting. This has proved invaluable in enabling the Standing Committee to work together to keep the church running and work on new initiatives during the vacancy.

We have been very fortunate ion obtaining cover for our Sunday Communion service and a big thank you is due to Revd Christine Latham, who has been very supportive, leading many of these services and has contributed to PCC meetings during this time. Where we have been unable to find ordained ministers, Pat and Ruth, as SPA’s, (or CLPM’s as they are now known), have led the service and offered an extended time of laying on of hands and prayers for healing in place of the Eucharist.

We were saddened by the death of Diane Kapp, former PCC member, as well as Sylvia Newton, former churchwarden, and Betty Willis both of who received visits and home communion regularly at their homes and then their respective nursing homes.

Some younger families have also moved away due to evictions and issues with temporary accommodation and the housing crisis meaning that families are often placed as far south as Rochester or Chatham. However, some new members have joined the congregation and attendance in person at services has held steady at around 40 each week, with some new faces also attending fresh expressions like Together Outside. Christmas services were again well-attended, and we held a Christingle on December 29[th] where £110 was raised for the ‘Children’s Society’ and £110 raised for ‘Smile Train’ from the Carol Service. Donations of £125 were also given to Aching Arms, Alzheimer’s Society, Sight Savers and Water Aid during the year.

Works to the grounds to introduce more flowers, more diverse planting, maintaining the vicarage garden, work along the side path to the church and the development of a path all around the church building, are continuing to open up the grounds of the church to the community. Work is continuing to enable the installation of an additional memorial bench and fruit trees. Vegetables will continue to be grown to supply the foodbank and the community lunches. Neal Long and Elaine McNaughton are working on funding bids to continue the salaries for both the Community Garden and Food bank managers posts.

Reverend Catherine returned to take the funerals of Diane Kapp and Sylvia Newton in church, but as we are in a vacancy, there have been no other funerals or weddings or baptisms. Ed’s Kids, (Sunday School), now meets in the new Quiet Space and the congregation really appreciate finding out what the children have been up to in their sessions. Attendance is varied depending on outbreaks of illness, parents’ work patterns and other issues.

Regular phone calls, shopping, collection of prescriptions and various other support has continued to be provided to older housebound members of the church and community.

Relationships with both Ravensworth and Elmstead Woods schools have been re-established. We continue to serve the wider community through community outreach and volunteering and volunteer numbers continue to be healthy for the foodbank, Together Outside, the Community Garden and other events. We continue to have good relations with our local councillors. Good

6

relationships continue with the Links GP surgery and local businesses, particularly the Bakers and the Post Office

One off events have continued such as the British Legion Bike Ride, for which we store the bikes and Community Impact Days and the neighbourhood police forum continue to meet at the church.

Church members continue with their volunteering in the wider community as well, including in the local charity shop; two members help at Greenwich Winter Night Shelter and Pat and Ruth as SPA’s volunteer at Clairleigh Nursing Home and Queen Elizabeth Hospital respectively.

Funding, Finances and Sustainability:

The charity’s finances still appear fairly healthy with the vast majority of income as restricted funding for the foodbank and large maintenance works with particular regards to leaks in the church and hall roofs. Hall Hire income has been variable as activities have changed over the course of the year and providers struggle to raise prices because of the Cost-of-Living crisis and rising costs but we have been able to remain solvent and to reinvest funds in ongoing maintenance and improvements to the buildings, Donations have continued from both the congregation and the wider community, but the vast majority of these are for specific purposes such as the foodbank. Resources are limited as many in Mottingham are struggling due to loss of work, ever increasing prices and other changes of circumstances.

This year we have received grant funding for the foodbank from the West Kent Masonic Charitable Foundation, the National Lottery and the Garfield Weston Trust. Many individuals, local schools and churches also continue to donate food and funds and there is also in-kind support from Fareshare. Plus, fresh fruit and vegetables provided free weekly from the Felix Trust in Orpington. Some of the local supermarkets also provide us with food from time to time, such as Aldi. The charity continues to maintain reserves of three months running costs.

There are extensive restricted funds, including those for ongoing Mission given to the church by Katie and Julian Kelly. The Treasurer reports monthly to the PCC via a cash flow Excel spreadsheet. Assistance on income and spending figures is provided to Elaine and Neal so that it is easier to prepare budgets and information for fundraising purposes.

The future:

Going forward, the Standing Committee, supported by the PCC, believes they have done a good job in keeping everything running smoothly and introducing new initiatives as a result of the revamped M.A.P. Everyone is looking forward to welcoming a new vicar, hopefully around Easter time.

The PCC have continued to meet every 2 months and keep in regular contact through email and their WhatsApp group. We remain confident in our vision for developing St Edward’s. We aim to continue developing worship, discipleship and serving the community in all sorts of different ways, whilst continuing to improve both financial and environmental sustainability. Although 2024 and being in a vacancy, has also had its challenges, much positive work has also continued. Need in the community remains high due to the cost-of-living crisis, but the church is able to continue to respond.

We pray that we may continue to be able to stay faithful, to develop the vision and continuing mission for the community.

Trustees Responsibilities:

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Report and Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

7

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 December 2024

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation:

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with:

The Statement of Recommended Practice : Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014, and with the Charities Acts 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

There are no material uncertainties about the charity‘s ability to continue in operation as a going concern.

The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the ground that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A.

The charity has opted to prepare its accounts using natural categories.

Changes to accounting estimates

No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period.

Material prior period errors

No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period.

INCOME

Recognition of Income

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:

Offsetting

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.

Grants and Donations

Grants and Donations are only included in the SOFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP).

Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.

Contractual Income and Performance Related Grants

This is only included in the SOFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions.

12

ST. EDWARD THE CONFESSOR CHURCH, MOTTINGHAM

Notes to the Financial Statements (cont’d)

For the year ended 31 December 2024

Gifts in Kind

Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as income from donations when receivable.

Legacies

Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.

Government Grants

The charity has received government grants in the reporting period.

Donated Goods

Donated Goods are measured at fair value (the amount for when the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so.

The cost of any stock donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount at distribution.

Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in ‘Income from other trading activities’ with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against ‘Income from other trading activities’ and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as ‘Income from other trading activities’.

Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SOFA as incoming resources when receivable.

Donated Services and Facilities

Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.

Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA.

Volunteer Help

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the Trustees’ annual report.

Income from Interest, royalties and dividends

This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.

Investment Gains and Losses

This included any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES

13

ST. EDWARD THE CONFESSOR CHURCH, MOTTINGHAM

Notes to the Financial Statements (cont’d)

For the year ended 31 December 2024

Liability Recognition

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonably certainty.

Governance and Support Costs

Support costs represent the cost of central functions, for example governance costs, payroll administration, information technology. Governance costs are those support costs which relate to public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Employee Benefits

Short term benefits including holiday pay are recognised as an expense in the period in which the service is received.

Redundancy Cost

The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.

Deferred Income

No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.

Creditors

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.

Fixed Assets

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt.

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets on a straight line basis over 5 years from the month they are purchased. The rates applied per annum are:

Fixtures, Fittings and Equipment 20% Improvements to Buildings 2%

Pensions

A workplace pension scheme is available to eligible employees. Contributions are charged to the statement of financial activities when payable.

The Diocese agreed the remainder could be used to stock our food bank as well as furtherance of agreed community projects.

The Garden Fund relates to the development of a garden in memory of local residents who have had links with the church and community using donations from the congregation and wider community given specifically for this purposes.

The Foodbank is from donations from the local community and church members towards any costs associated with the foodbank and/or its clients.
