Trustees' Annual Report For the year ended 31 December 2025

When the Kinrade family moved to America in the summer, Michele obviously stood down as Ed’s Kids leader so Simona Kavaliauskaite took on this role and the team was led by Revd Richard, and continued to be supported by the children’s leadership team of Claudette, Julie and Nana (from the PCC), along with Kijoo Pace from the wider congregation. Ed’s Kids held a leaving party for Michele, Daniel. Harry and Jonathan in the vicarage garden, where Michele was thanked for all her hard work.

We also said goodbye to Philippe and Kijoo, who have now moved to France. They will be greatly missed. Unfortunately, we do not have sufficient volunteers with sufficient spare time to continue the monthly Litter Picking which Philippe introduced, but we hope to be able to start this again in the future.

The PCC continued to employ a cleaner and Danny Cooper as foodbank manager and Neal Long as manager of the Community Garden. Their salaries were initially paid through Grant Funding from the National Lottery and Garfield Weston, which Reverend Catherine successfully bid for before she left the parish in January 2024.

After this point, the PCC agreed that all fundraising monies would be used to pay these salaries until October 2025 when Neal Long, as chair of the fundraising committee, felt further grant monies would be received. Unfortunately, this did not happen. The PCC therefore, met the Foodbank manager’s salary and the Community Garden manager was furloughed until the spring.

In May 2025, Revd Richard took over as line manager for both Danny Cooper and Neal Long. 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 continued the administration of the pension scheme.

Sam Kapp initially continued as part time social media administrator, and then handed this role over to Revd. Richard to revamp the website and promote the church and its community activities on social media. Ruth Slater now collates the monthly hall/church bookings and produces a monthly newsletter, for which Revd Richard writes a headline message.

Ruth Slater continued sending out the news email to the community which covers 95 people.

Tim Gough has continued to serve as Quinquennial Architect, and reported in April. His findings and recommendations determined the course of action regarding the church roof and the forthcoming works on the hall roof.

The main fundraising events of the year have included the Christmas Fair, the Summer Fair, the Friday Community Lunches and the quarterly Afternoon Teas. The Race Night in the spring was once again well supported. Fundraising boxes for the foodbank and Community Garden were introduced in October and those in the church have provided over £50 a month.

The following contractors carried out work on the buildings during 2025: James Cooke Ltd carried out extensive repairs to the church roof and guttering. Millers Electricals, SK Fire, MFP Heating, Direct 365, Vectis Lightening and Spy Alarms were the other main contractors. Having successfully applied for a faculty, repairs to the boundary wall of the church by the church green in St. Keverne Road, were carried out by Shaun Holland.

Other funders and donors during 2025 have included:

For the foodbank: Local donors including PCC members, St. Augustine’s Church Grove Park, St John the Baptist Eltham, Community Links and West Kent Masonic society. We were also very grateful for harvest festival food donations from a number of local schools and churches and various individuals.

We also received a donation of £500 from Kim Ward who has now sadly died, for a foodbank family coach trip in summer 2026 and money for £10 The Works Christmas vouchers for every foodbank child.

For the Church: Pete and Raewyn Thomas for the hall roof repairs.

Mission Action Planning

The local schools are pleased to be using and visiting the church again. 200 children came for their school Carol service.

Revd Richard is working with the PCC on being ‘Christ’s light bearers’ in the Community and various ideas are being discussed and teams being set up.

Policies, Risk Assessments and Training:

All policies, such as Safeguarding, Anti bullying, Whistleblowing, GDPR, Equality and Diversity, social media the Environment, Financial Procedures have been reviewed and adopted by the PCC. We have continued to review, update and implement our annual Buildings Maintenance Plan in the light of the various buildings works and improvements.

Risk assessments under the various sets of government guidelines have been ongoing for all activities and for any new events.

All PCC members have up to date safeguarding training and 2 further members of the Friday lunch team completed food safety training. Courses on Fire Safety and First Aid have been attended and passed by the majority of the PCC. A large group also undertook Dementia awareness and Julie Betts and Wendy Jacobs attended Children and Young people’s training.

Wendy Jacobs is currently studying for the Bishop’s Certificate with a view to becoming a Reader.

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, exercise classes including, Zumba, Zumba Gold and Seated Zumba, dance and community meals.

We have continued to welcome Fit4 Future, (a children’s holiday club, funded by LBB), the 6th district Scout movement and Puppy Dog training classes whilst new users of our hall, such as MBLR, RCCG, Digital skills and Quest Theatre have continued to offer a wide variety of activities for the community. We also continue to offer space for Children’s parties on a Saturday afternoon.

In addition to St Edward’s Sunday services, which have been led by various priests in the diocese during the interregnum, Ruth Slater has continued the Wednesday evening service and Pat Dockree leads Friday morning prayer if Revd Richard is unable to do so. Richard has introduced a 9am morning prayer on a Saturday which has been welcomed. Following morning prayer on a Friday, the senior church officers meet to discuss many issues! This has proved invaluable in enabling the Standing Committee to work together with Revd Richard to keep the church running and work on new initiatives.

We continue to be very thankful to Revd Christine Latham, who has continued to be very supportive, leading services to allow Revd Richard to spend time with and lead Ed’s Kids at least 1 Sunday a month during this time.

We were saddened by the death of Barbara Godfrey, who had been visited regularly at home for some time. Pat and Ruth were pleased to be able to attend her funeral service.

Trustees' Annual Report

For the year ended 31 December 2025

Numbers attending services held fairly steady during the interregnum, but have dipped slightly which often happens when a new vicar arrives. Revd Richard, Kayleigh, Elowen and Rowan were welcomed to St. Edward’s in April.

Works to the grounds to introduce more flowers and shrubs, 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 install additional seating and to open the garden to the community as originally planned. It is hoped that vegetables can be grown to supply the foodbank and the community lunches. Currently, the Fundraising Committee of Revd Richard, Ruth Slater, Elaine McNaughton and Neal Long are working on funding bids to continue the salaries for both the Community Garden and Food bank managers posts.

Regular phone calls, shopping and visits continue 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, community garden and the Community Lunch.

We continue to have good relations with our local councillors, who have spearheaded a grant of £1000 for items for the community garden.

Church members continue with their volunteering in the wider community as well, including in the local charity shop; Greenwich Winter Night Shelter and Pat and Ruth as CLPMs 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 were used for large maintenance works with particular regards to repairs to the leaks in the church roof. Hall Hire income has been variable as activities have changed over the course of the year and providers struggle to raise prices because of their own 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. We have managed to increase our pledge to a more realistic figure.

This year we have received grant funding for the foodbank from the West Kent Masonic Charitable Foundation, and many individuals, local schools and churches also continue to donate food and funds and there is also in-kind support from Fareshare. Also, fresh fruit and vegetables are provided free weekly from the Felix Trust in Orpington. Some of the local supermarkets also provide us with food, and we are especially grateful to Mottingham Village Lidl. 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 the Fundraising Committee, so that it is easier to prepare budgets and information for fundraising purposes.

The future:

Going forward, the Standing Committee, is looking to have the hall roof repaired. Advice has been taken from our quinquennial architect and quotes have been received and it is hoped work will commence in the summer of 2026.

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). The Charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination, which give me cause to believe that, in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 December 2025

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.

Grants

The charity has received grants in the reporting period form the Southwark diocese.

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.

12

ST. EDWARD THE CONFESSOR CHURCH, MOTTINGHAM

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2025

EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES

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.
