4. Vicar’s report

I always find it difficult giving a report on a previous year as the things that are happening now or have just happened often eclipse what occurred last year. There is also the danger that I will forget something important and if I have done today, I apologise. This year is even harder because due to Coronavirus we have had to delay our Annual meetings for about 4 months and the last few months have been incredibly unusual and very different to anything any of us have ever experienced. It could be said to be unprecedented but that is a much-overused word at the moment. Perhaps the lesson is to write my report early in January. I wish I was that organised. There are many people who do a lot for St Edmund’s and I know that if I start mentioning names, I will forget someone and they will feel unappreciated. We are very fortunate here at St Edmund’s to have so many people who commit their time to the life and worship of the Church. We have a fantastic organist, a good choir and a great serving team who all enhance the worship. The flowers in church have been nothing less than stunning throughout the year and that together with those who keep the place clean have meant the church always looks amazing. Thanks to those who carry out what I think is a vital part of our ministry, children’s and youth work. Then of course there are

6

those who count the money, produce newsletters, the magazine, prepare the reading sheets, do the printing, make the coffee… the list goes on and on. So, thank you so much to everyone whatever you do to support the life of this church.

I do wish however to thank by name Steve and Chris the churchwardens for their support throughout the year. The amount of work done behind the scenes is remarkable. A special thanks to Steve for his work over the last few months. I know that without his expertise and determination things would have been very different.

But back to 2019.

At the beginning of 2019 I was approached by John Morgan one of our Local Councillors who was Mayor of Hillingdon at the time, to ask if we would be able to host the Annual Civic Service of Thanksgiving here at St Edmund’s. It was agreed that we could do that and the Bishop of Willesden preached at the service which took place in February. At the reception which followed I spoke to the Deputy Mayor David Yarrow who was to become the new mayor and it turned out that the new mayoress was to be a lady I had known for many years through Scouting in Hayes. David is not one of our local councillors but was impressed with St Edmund’s and the Service that we had put together so a couple of weeks later called me to ask if I would be his chaplain. I agreed and found that far from being an onerous job it was very enlightening. I led prayers at council meetings twice and also attended the Annual London Mayor’s Service of Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey, all of which gave me an insight into how Local government operated.

Obviously the most important part of life at St Edmund’s is our worship and there were for me some real highlights last year namely Corpus Christi when Fr Eric Lobsinger preached a bit of a fire and brimstone sermon and St Edmund’s day when Fr Mathew Cashmore the curate from Kenton stood in at the last minute for his vicar Fr Edward Lewis and preached a very entertaining homily. The dinner that followed was once again amazing and thanks to Glenda Greenfield and her team for all their hard work. The

7

Christmas Eve Crib service once again attracted large numbers and was a great start to the festivities. When I first came to St Edmund’s that service filled me with terror but having now experienced four, I really enjoy it and it was good that a number stayed on to celebrate the Eucharist in the Lady Chapel.

In any community there are always times of sadness and last year was no exception when three of our longstanding members Bernard Fairclough, Bernard Wood and Emil Pimm were called to higher things. They will all be sadly missed.

There have been and clearly will continue to be many challenges for us in the next year as we cope with the restrictions placed upon us by the corona virus pandemic. I feel that we have all responded well and creatively to those challenges and I am sure we will continue to do so. It has given an opportunity to reflect on many aspects of our life here at St Edmund’s and what God wants us to do. Never has it been more important to place our trust in God and to keep praying. Although these are difficult times the opportunities open to us are, I think exciting and I look forward to working with you all to build up the Church in this parish to the glory God’s name, in honour of St Edmund, and for the hope and inspiration of all God’s people,

  1. Consideration of Statutory Reports: Annual Report for the year ended 31st December 2019 including the revised Church Electoral Roll for 2020 Report of the proceedings of the Deanery Synod Parish Accounts for the year ended 31st December 2019 Report upon the Fabric of the Church

The Parish accounts were presented by James Mair. There was a small deficit in the accounts. He spoke of the state of funds at

8

present due to the Covid 19 pandemic and the need for a Stewardship Renewal Programme. This, in conjunction with the Mission Plan is something that will be addressed in the near future.

He thanked Alwyn Orr for his continued support as Stewardship Recorder. Unfortunately, Alwyn has recently had to relinquish the role and a new recorder is required.

On behalf of the Churchwardens, Fr Michael thanked those who tend the grounds and help with maintenance activities. Fr Tony for taking out the bins, Colin Kirby who frequently mows the grass. The flat roof remains the most urgent item and an architect is being appointed to oversee the work

PCC of St Edmund the King, Northwood Hills Trustees’ Annual Report of the Parochial Church Council for the Year 2020

Aim and Purposes

St Edmund’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Rev’d Michael Miller, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical, financial and practical tasks of being the parish church in this place. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the Church and Hall buildings and the grounds in which they are set.

Objectives and Activities

The Church of St Edmund the King, Northwood Hills, is a Christian community seeking to share the Good News of Jesus Christ in the diverse context of our parish and its surrounding areas.

First and foremost, we’re a group of people committed to worship, and at the heart of our life here is our meeting with Jesus in Word and Sacrament. As we journey together, we aim to provide opportunities for growth and fellowship for people of all ages, and strive to reach out in love to the parish we serve.

Part of the Diocese of London, our Liturgy and devotional practice reflects the Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England, whilst striving to offer a home to all who seek a deeper life with God in Christ Jesus.

Who we are.

The PCC is registered charity number 1169098 with the Charity Commission in England and Wales. Registration with the Charity Commission was completed in September 2016, the PCC having

11

previously been excepted from registration. Members of the PCC are either ex officio or are elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) in accordance with the Church Representation Rules.

During the year the following served as members of the PCC:

Incumbent The Rev’d Michael Miller Assistant Curate The Rev’d Helen Hutchins Churchwardens Mr Christopher Ambrose Mr Steven Castle (Vice Chair) Representatives on Mr Steven Castle Harrow Deanery Miss Sarah Parnaby Synod Elected members up Miss Helen Collier (PCC Secretary) to the APCM 2020 Mrs Carol Diggins Mrs Margaret Forsyth Mr Mark Hammond Mr James Mair Mrs Anita Nicholas Mr Alwyn Orr (Resigned 16[th] May 2020) Mr Stephen Trevelyan Mrs Rachel Windsor Elected members after the APCM 2020 Miss Helen Collier Mrs Carol Diggins Mrs Margaret Forsyth Mr Mark Hammond Mr James Mair (Treasurer) Mrs Clare Moses (PCC Secretary) Mrs Anita Nicholas Mr Isaac Odeyemi

Sides People

We are grateful to the following Sides people who, elected at the 2020 APCM, have assisted in welcoming people to worship on Sundays and weekday festivals and who receive and assist in recording the offertory:

Margaret Forsyth, Ann Hughes, Jill Hughes, Colin Kirby, Carolyn Mount, Richard Mount, Robert Moseley, Issac Odeyemi, Honey Orr, Marjorie Pimm, Kathy Turner, Sarah Wilson, Simon Wilson and Rachel Windsor.

Recording our Membership

PCC membership is drawn from the church Electoral Roll, and all those on the roll are entitled to vote in the election to places on the PCC.

At the 2020 APCM there were 101 on the role last year and 96 after this year’s revision, 2 have moved away and 3 have sadly died.

Normal Sunday, well there hasn’t really been a ‘normal Sunday’ during the covid crisis. When we have been able to meet in church the numbers were in the late 20s with a number of people watching via Youtube and when we haven’t been in church the numbers of views have been anything from around 60 up to 110.

PCC Meetings

In 2020 the PCC met on 6 occasions mainly via Zoom due to Covid-19 restrictions, with an average attendance of 13. The PCC receives reports from the Incumbent on pastoral matters, from the Treasurer on the accounts, from the Churchwardens on Fabric and the Fundraising Committee at each of its meetings. Safeguarding is a standing agenda item.

13

In 2020 the Standing Committee met 4 times mainly via Zoom. The membership of this committee comprises the Incumbent, the Churchwardens, PCC Secretary and Treasurer. It transacts PCC business between meetings (subject to directions of the PCC) and draws up the PCC agenda.

The Year in Review

2020 began with many parishioners involved in Arrow Players’ production of the St. Edmund’s Pantomime, ‘Aladdin’, which raised funds for the church and provided wonderful family entertainment for the parish and beyond.

We welcomed the Mayor of Hillingdon to St. Edmund’s in February for a Civic Service of Thanksgiving as Fr Michael continued his Chaplaincy to the Mayor.

“All-Age” Eucharists continued on the first Sunday each month – these provided a slightly shorter service with more contemporary music and hymns, colourful orders of service, a more visual address, different styles of prayer and were attended by the whole congregation including Sunday School.

The season of Lent began in February.

Our Lent appeal raised funds for ALMA and The Michael Sobel Hospice. Our Lent course was based on the film “The Way” about a father who heads overseas to recover the body of his estranged son who died while traveling the "El Camino de Santiago," and decides to take the pilgrimage himself.

Father Michael also led some of the parishioners in The Stations of The Cross followed by lunch. Unfortunately, both the course and The Stations were interrupted by Covid-19 restrictions.

Like with the rest of the world, St Edmund’s found itself having to function differently as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak. Initially Father Michael

14

converted his dining room into a Chapel and broadcast Mass via YouTube. Streamed services continued daily in Church either with or without a congregation for the rest of the year. For those without internet access, a recording was made. The Orbit and parish magazine The King became an email. The website was improved to include Daily Office readings, the magazine, newsletters, orders of service and links to the streamed services.

The highpoint of the liturgical year is always our celebration of Holy Week and Easter as we live through the key events in the story of salvation. In 2020 we were unable to come together but with technology, Easter was still a special time.

In June Fr Michael preached on the Day of Thanksgiving for the Institution of Holy Communion (Corpus Christi).

Sunday 26[th] July saw us able to return to the Church for the Holy Eucharist. Much work had gone on behind the scenes so that we were all safe and the service could continue to be broadcast. The Lady Chapel was opened to the public Wednesday through to Sunday afternoons with various members of the congregation taking on the responsibility of cleaning the Chapel as well as opening and closing it.

We also welcomed Helen Hutchins, first as a Lay Minister and then as Curate when she was Ordained to the Diaconate in September. Mother Helen led a Discipleship course (having had experience at St. John The Baptist in Pinner).

The Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was celebrated in August. Due Covid-19 we were unable to have our barbeque in the Vicarage garden

In November, a 2-week National Lockdown meant that again we were not able to enter the Church.

Remembrance Sunday was marked but without the usual Memorial Service in the afternoon.

15

St Edmund’s Day was celebrated differently on the 20th of November, without a congregation in church, but with a live streamed Eucharist– we were very grateful to our guest preacher, Fr Paul Reece, Rector of St Lawrence, Little Stanmore and Chaplain to the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore for preaching in St Edmund’s Church.

On Sunday 6th December we returned and were able to have our usual Christmas services thanks to the hard work of Steve Castle and Terry Diggins who with the choir had pre-recorded various carols and hymns that could be used throughout Christmastide.

Our Festival of 9 Lessons and Carols was different but a wonderful occasion which was followed by lively and joyful Christmas services.

During 2020 there were no baptisms, weddings or funerals in the Church due to Covid-19 restrictions. Fr Michael has conducted several services at the crematoriums and one burial of ashes.

Financial review

Just as it was for everyone in 2020, the financial results were, unsurprisingly, very unusual and, as with so many things in the last 12 months, “they are what they are”! The ‘headline’ figure for 2020, as shown in the middle of page 3 of the Financial Statements, was the overall net excess of expenditure over income, before recognized gains on investments, of £15,593 (2019: £1,081). Even though in 2020 we were able to survive financially by utilising our reserves, clearly losses of this magnitude are not sustainable in the long term; all the more so, as the unrestricted funds available for use are now greatly reduced.

INCOME

Page 4 shows that in 2020 our Total Income fell by £27,326 to £83,407; though it should be recognized that, when excluding the legacies received, the reduction reduces by a net £4,000 to £23,326.

The closure of the church to public services for such a large proportion of the year adversely affected our income received from Giving. However, this was subsequently largely offset by the amazing level (in excess of £4,400) of one-off donations received in response to the Stewardship Renewal Programme in November, together with several other large donations received during the course of the year. In addition, it is very important to recognize that we also received several generous donations specifically towards the extra costs involved with the on-line streaming of services and the re-opening of the church for public services. In addition, we received a £1,000 grant from the Harrow Deanery Synod for Mission, which was also put towards the funding of the on-line streaming costs. All donations from whichever source are greatly appreciated and without them our income from Giving would have been seriously affected. As it is, when excluding the Legacies effect, income from Giving, including Gift Aid and donations, achieved £57,842 in 2020 and thereby just exceeded the comparable figure of £56,338 for 2019.

17

The major financial effect of the altered circumstances experienced due to the Coronavirus pandemic was on the Church Hall Letting income, which in recent years we have become so dependent on. In the end, it was down over £13,000 (or, over 38%) on 2019’s figure. For 2020 it represented around 25.3% of all of our income (2019: 31.1%), but it could have been so much worse, as we were so very fortunate that the Montessori Nursery School managed to stay open, albeit on reduced levels, when legally allowed. Since mid-March no other groups have been able to safely use the Church Hall.

Another major factor in loss of income was being unable to pursue our usual Fundraising activities after March 2020. Shown within the section of Other Trading Activities on page 4, it was £8,864 lower - though it must be remembered that without such activities occurring, there was a ‘saving’ in costs of £4,509, (see the second line of Expenditure on page 5).

In 2020 we were fortunate to receive a generous Legacy from the Late Ivy Lewis, which, being unrestricted, was also put towards the funding of the equipment costs necessary in order to have our services streamed on-line from the first Lockdown onwards.

As expected, Investment Income further reduced during the year. It totalled £1,282 which, although being just under £500 lower than in 2019, unfortunately, represents an overall reduction of our interest by some 27%.

EXPENDITURE

As shown on page 5 of the Financial Statements, Total Expenditure in 2020 was lower by £12,814 at £99,000 (2019: £111,813). Within this reduction is the previously mentioned ‘saving’ of £4,509 because there were no Fundraising events this year. Over half of the remaining £8,305 arises from the lower gas and electric costs for the reduced usage of the Church and Church Hall.

18

Elsewhere, many general costs were similarly reduced and together these actually hide a few, but major, exceptions, where costs have increased in 2020: -

It is also very important to note that the extra expenditure on the streaming of services has enabled St. Edmunds, via YouTube, to reach out to, not only the local community, but elsewhere in the country and the world. It may have been a seemingly large cost within these accounts, but its’ positive effects, not only for 2020, but also going forward, is something much greater than can ever be quantified in financial terms.

The revaluation of Investments (shown under Fixed Assets on the Balance Sheet on page 6) to their market values at 31 December 2020 resulted in a gain of £888. This, together with the gain in 2019 of £705, now more

19

than reverses the loss suffered on the revaluations in 2018. These investments, with the Central Board of Finance (CBF) of the Church of England, continue to be very worthwhile when compared with the poor levels of interest available elsewhere, even though in 2021 the interest return on them is set to reduce further.

After accounting for gains on the revaluation of investments, the net decrease in funds for 2020 was £14,705 (2019: £375) and this resulted in the total Funds at 31 December 2020 being dramatically reduced to £150,060 from £164,765. This reduction would have totally wiped out the unrestricted General Fund brought forward from 2019 and created a large deficit on the fund. Consequently, in order to protect the General Fund, the PCC approved the re-designation of £18,000 from the previously designated Print Unit Fund, which had been built up over the many years of its operation.

With this re-designation transfer, as shown on page 9, the General Fund now stands at £6,367. Unfortunately, with the very different circumstances continuing into 2021 and despite the wonderful response to the Stewardship Renewal Programme in November resulting in additional Giving promises for 2021, maintaining the General Fund in positive territory is going to be very challenging. This was always going to be the case, let alone now with subsequent developments concerning the costs and timings of the roof repairs to the Church and Church Hall.

As for the Print Unit Fund, it still contains £4,830 for future purposes, though the separate operation of the Print Unit itself ceased towards the end of 2020. This was partly as a result arising from the enforced rundown of most of its activities following the changed circumstances of 2020.

As shown on page 8, of the total funds held at 31 December 2020, £59,122 is held in unrestricted funds, which also includes Designated Funds, and £90,938 is held in Restricted Funds. (For 2019 the respective figures were £74,814 and £89,949). As shown on the Fund Movement Summary for

20

2020 (page 9), in addition to the transfer of the £18,000 from the Print Unit into the General Fund, there was the usual transfer from the General Fund of £600 into the designated Maintenance (Fabric) Fund. With the designated Vicarage Internal Decoration Fund standing at £4,250 it was decided that there was no need for a transfer in 2020 from the General Fund. (2019: £600).

RESERVES POLICY

In order to maintain cashflows and provide for emergency expenditure, it is PCC policy to try to maintain sufficient balance on free reserves (net current assets) to cover three months’ normal unrestricted expenditure, around £25,000. At the end of 2020 the balance on the free reserves was £59,122 (2019: £74,814). Longer term major projects are subject to specific fundraising exercises as deemed appropriate. Short-term investment fund balances are usually placed with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund, whilst longer term investments are mainly held in CBF Church of England Fixed Interest Accounts.

In view of the present financial position and the uncertainties still likely in 2021, the PCC also took the difficult decision late last year to reduce its 2021 Common Fund contribution by £15,396 to £54,000.

Last year it had been anticipated that some of the major works following the Quinquennial Inspection of 2018 would have been undertaken. However, due to 2020’s altered circumstances, that wasn’t possible and it is now very clear that the funding of the projects in 2021 will be from a mixture of sources, including the need for specific extra fundraising.

Finally, on behalf of The PCC, I wish to place on record our very grateful thanks for the continuing generosity of all of the supporters of St. Edmund’s, especially in what has been such an unprecedented year for everybody. In 2020 many things have had to change as of necessity and, even now, it’s difficult to predict exactly what and when things will be achievable in 2021 and beyond. Nevertheless, St. Edmunds will continue

21

to adapt, in whatever ways present themselves, in order to serve the needs of the Parish.

Fabric Report

1. Condition of Buildings

Planning work began in 2020 to address the items listed in the 2018 Quinquennial Inspection Report. Architect Mike Harrison of Barnsley Hewett and Mallinson Ltd was instructed by the PCC to produce budget estimates for phase 1 (works of utmost urgency) and phase 2 (works to be completed within 5 years of the report). A detailed specification for phase 1 works will be drawn up early in 2021 and our architect will be inviting fixed-price tenders from a minimum of 3 contractors. It is hoped the winning contractor will be appointed by the end of April 2021 and, when funding is available, instructed to proceed with the works. The contractors’ work will be overseen by Mike Harrison. It is hoped that the phase 1 works can take place in August 2021 with phase 2 works taking place in 2022.

The Church copper roof has developed a slight leak at the apex above the centre lectern. A minimum of two companies specialising in copper roof repairs will be invited to quote and it is hoped this work will be completed within the first half of 2021.

2. Service and Maintenance

The annual inspections of all central heating boilers were carried out in March 2020. Gas Safe certificates were received.

New fire extinguishers were purchased and professionally installed.

Emergency lighting was tested.

A leak from the hall kitchen hot water pipes was fixed.

22

The organ’s swell shutter mechanism was fixed.

3. Major Works.

There were no major works undertaken in 2020.

4. Other Activities.

Minor maintenance works during the year has included:

More detail on all the above and other minor maintenance works is recorded in the Fabric Reports to PCC which are held electronically. These are available for inspection upon request via any member of the PCC Standing Committee.

The Churchwardens would like to thank everyone who has helped with maintenance activities during a difficult year. While it was not possible to hold the normal Gardening Day due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are grateful to Colin Kirby who continued to mow the lawns, to Mike Godden for assistance with maintenance work and to all who have tended the grounds.

5. Future Projects

Focus will remain on addressing the items listed in the 2018 Quinquennial Inspection Report.

Steven Castle Churchwarden

Harrow Deanery Synod

2020 has been a difficult year for our churches due to the Coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic and the restrictions imposed by the National Government and the Church of England, in order to protect the vulnerable members of our communities. Use of our churches for public worship has been restricted for much of 2020 and many churches have been conducting services, coffee contact meetings, children’s teaching and home groups, using the internet and various online software. We have adopted the working title of “Anglicans in Harrow” in order to emphasise that our meetings are aimed at engaging all church members on key issues relating to our Deanery Strategy with the overall purpose of working together to see God’s Kingdom come.

The three-year Deanery Synod from 2017 to 2020 was due to end in June 2020 with elections for lay parish representatives on the new Deanery Synod taking place at the 2020 March/April APCMs. The Church of England agreed to delay the start of the new three-year Deanery Synod until 1 December 2020, with APCMs held by the end of October 2020. Accordingly, a new Deanery Synod was elected too late for the initial meeting of the new Deanery Synod to be held in 2020 and so this was delayed into January 2021. There were therefore only two meetings of the Deanery Synod during 2020 and the format of the meetings needed to change.

The 5 February session was held at St Anselm’s Church Hatch End with the theme “Outreach and Mission”. Members of the parishes were encouraged to attend this meeting and to participate in the parish-

24

centred discussions following the talk. We welcomed Bishop Ric Thorpe who shared the Diocese’s thoughts on how churches can reach out to their communities, including church planting and activities outside their buildings. Revd Malcolm Finlay spoke about the launch of Hope Church Harrow View to serve the new housing development on the ex-Kodak site. Subsequent to the meeting this church was launched publicly in October 2020 and is currently providing services and an Alpha Course online. St Anselm’s church provided Opening Worship, a Parish Profile and refreshments. A summary of the feedback from the parish discussions was attached to the minutes of this session. Andrew Morgan was elected as a Foundation Governor of St John’s Church of England School, Stanmore.

Plans for a Deanery Prayer Evening at St Mary’s Harrow for “Thy Kingdom Come” on Wednesday 20 May had to be postponed to 2021.

The 22 July session was held online using the Zoom software. It was encouraging that so many members of the Synod were able to join this meeting. Opening Worship was conducted by Revd Simon Durrant of Christ Church Roxeth. The main purpose of the meeting was to share what the churches were doing to continue their Mission and Ministry during the restrictions, to share what plans they had for reopening, and to encourage the churches to try new online methods. Four Applications for grants of £1,000 from the Deanery Mission Fund had been received and these were presented to the Synod. All four were approved: - St Alban’s North Harrow for part funding of the youth support worker, All Saints Harrow Weald and St Edmund’s Northwood Hills for Audio-Visual equipment for the live streaming of services, Mosaic Harrow (based at St Paul’s South Harrow) for an intercultural outreach event with music and drama. The Deanery Accounts for 2019 were approved, subject to independent examination. Reports on three recent sessions of the London Diocesan Synod and of the July sessions of the General Synod were received.

As with most activities in 2020, due to Covid-19 restrictions we were unable to hold any fund-raising events.

Reports from Church Organisations Active Throughout the Year

2[nd] Northwood (St. Edmund’s) Scout Group.

The cubs and scouts have been holding zoom meetings throughout the year.

After the summer break the Scouts went to Paccar for some outdoor activities which included games with axes which was very popular! Because of Covid restrictions on numbers, the large group, had to split into two groups of 15 each with 4 leaders in attendance

Marjorie Pimm, Group Secretary

Arrow Players

Arrow Players’ first (and only) production of the year, in January, was the St. Edmund’s Pantomime “Aladdin”, organised and run by Arrow Players on behalf of the Church. The show was very well received, but ticket sales were disappointingly down the previous years. The half-share of the profit given directly to the Church was just under £1,700. Our thanks and congratulations go to Nicky Setterfield, directing her second Pantomime as Director, with Sarah Wilson Assisting.

The next production was to have been presented in May - a comedy called “Wynter’s Ending or Murder on the Airwaves”, another play from the keyboard of Mike Warrick, and directed by him. But of course, for obvious reasons, it was postponed to October, and then to May 2021, but that won’t be possible either. We remain hopeful that it can take place in October 2021. Similarly, we accepted that it would not be possible to put on a pantomime in January 2021, so autumn 2020 saw no rehearsal activity. Again, we look forward in hope for January 2022.

Not having been able to meet in person since March 2020, we have made good use of the online Zoom system - we have held a Quiz Evening almost every Tuesday since 7th of April, and held a number of play or pantomime readings. We are most grateful to Nicky Setterfield for organising the

27

Quizzes, and to Mike Warrick organising for the Readings. We’ve also managed to hold a few Committee Meetings and an AGM using Zoom.

Arrow Players are affiliated to the National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA). As part of that affiliation, a NODA reviewer comes to a performance of each production, and sends us a report on the show. The report is also used as a basis for the presentation of Awards on a Regional basis - we are in the London Region, which actually includes most of the Home Counties. In the past, we have won a few awards - notably Best Pantomime for 2015’s “Jack and the Beanstalk” - and we have had numerous nominations; see our website for the full list. For the 2020 awards, presented in June, we received 3 nominations - The Award for Best Pantomime ... for 2020’s “Aladdin”, the Scenery Award ... for 2019’s “Farndale ... Murder Mystery”, and the Award for Best Female in a Play ... for Louise Hemming as “Mrs. Reece” in “Farndale … Murder Mystery”. Our congratulations to all concerned, but unfortunately, none of these three nominations were successful in winning the awards. Better luck next time!

We were able to hold our usual Annual Dinner in February 2020 Dinner at Pinner Hill Golf Club, with 31 members present, during the course of which Sarah Wilson was presented with a NODA 50-year Long Service Medal, and Chris Ambrose was presented with a NODA 25-year Long Service Medal. Steve Moses had also been presented with a NODA 25year Long Service Medal during the “Aladdin” production run.

As most Church activities didn’t take place (at least in their proper form) during 2020, our participation in Church activities was not required, but we did nevertheless provide the large Christmas Tree for the Church.

Badminton Club

The club has been unable to meet due to Covid-19 restrictions

As always new players of any ability are welcome to join on a Thursday evening once restrictions are lifted. Do not feel that you are too old as most members these days are in their sixties!

Bereavement Support Group

Bereavement visiting at St. Edmund’s is carried out by Fr. Michael. The Memorial Service for the Departed was this year incorporated within the service for All Soul's Day on a Sunday afternoon

LIGHTS OF LIFE TREE

This year, the tree in the entrance foyer was kindly donated by the Women's Guild. Because of Covid rules people were not able to write their own labels but had to contact someone who organised it for them. This did not deter its popularity and the tree was laden with lights and names of loved ones over the Christmas period.

Marjorie Pimm

Choir

Despite the severe constraints in worship this year due to the Covid 19 pandemic, we have been able to provide a live singer each week when permitted to sing the psalm and an anthem. In October the choir met after the Sunday service for the first time in over six months to record the music for the Carol Service and other Christmas services. We were also able to provide live singing for the Crib Service and Midnight Mass.

I would like to thank the choir for all that they have done during these difficult times and I look forward to the time when we will be able to sing together once again.

Classic Concerts at St. Edmund’s

Classic Concerts in 2020 were cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Thank you to the very loyal small group of arrangers. Due to the Covid-19 restrictions we have not been active. Many thanks to Elizabeth Wastell for the Christmas arrangement.

Spectrum on Sunday & Messy Church

What a strange year it has been. After our pancake party and just before Mothering Sunday we were forced, due to COVID 19 lockdown restrictions, to create Spectrum on Line which we deliver via Zoom. We have learned to adapt over the year!

We have covered the stories of Joseph, Noah, and the Good Samaritan. Also, the Easter story and all that followed for the disciples. We learned about the teachings that Jesus gave to his disciples about how they should conduct themselves which in turn helps us to learn how to behave as Christians.

We also looked at a number of parables, the sower, the mustard seed, the good and bad fish, hidden treasure, and the fine pearl.

We were very fortunate to hear about the early life of Mrs Goodland who was the child of missionaries in China. Unfortunately, they were interned during WWII and during that time she kept a diary which we showed to the children during our Zoom session. We were fortunate enough to have Mrs Goodland join our session with her daughters and she was able to answer any questions the children had. They then made their own picture diary of a week in their lockdown lives.

30

We have been trying to include more Old Testament stories that don’t feature in the Roots books which we use to plan our sessions. Before Christmas we studied Moses up to the time that he received the Ten Commandments. It is amazing how many times he gets mentioned in the New Testament passages we have covered since so it has been good to make that link for the children.

Each session starts with a prayer and a quick game which might be a scavenger hunt, a word game or on one occasion a “yes no interlude” that some might remember from Take Your Pick. This introduces the topic for the day.

We send out the reading for each session in advance so the children can practise their passage which they read at the session and then answer questions. This has really boosted the children’s confidence to read at the all-age services and it has been wonderful to see how they have progressed in this way.

We also undertake a craft activity to reinforce the bible passage and you will have seen the results of this work after the on-line services or on the board in the church foyer. While they are colouring and making, we show a video of the story for the day and play Christian music.

We really miss meeting the children face to face but Zoom works well as a way to quickly go from one medium to another which is harder to achieve in the hall. Another benefit of meeting on line is that Father Michael is able to join us after the service and Steve is also there to give technical support. Our thanks to them both.

At the start of the year, we reorganised the cupboards for Spectrum and Messy Church. This happened just before lockdown and we were able to get some craft packs out to children so they would have something to keep them occupied. During the first lockdown they weren’t getting so much work from school so we gave out challenges to complete each week such as making a church or building from boxes.

31

We have tried to keep in touch with the wider Spectrum Family group by creating a WhatsApp group. We invited all the parents who had recent links with Spectrum and this had been a useful way to keep in touch with the wider group. We have also offered Zoom Coffee sessions for the parents to join with the children for part of the session.

Another project was the Christmas Shoe Boxes which Sarah and I were able to pack up along with Clare Moses and Marjorie Pimm to give to Home Start Hillingdon. These were distributed to families and were much appreciated.

Also, thanks go to Sarah for all her input particularly as we have continued to meet throughout the school holidays; and to the children who have so faithfully joined in and are doing all they can to learn about their faith and the importance of being part of a Christian community.

Carol Diggins Spectrum on Sunday Leader

Youth Group

Youth Group returned as normal in January 2020 providing a safe, welcoming and friendly place for young people in the Parish and beyond to meet with their friends and have fun together.

When the first COVID-19 restrictions came into force, Youth Group moved onto Zoom with its first meeting on Wednesday 1st April 2020. It continued online for the remaining Wednesdays during term time throughout 2020. A mixture of informal chat, games, observation tests and quizzes have proved popular.

I am very grateful to the helpers Carol Diggins, Aline Hammond-Gilles, Carol Yates and Sarah Parnaby who assisted with meetings in the Hall during the early part of 2020 and I am indebted to Carol Diggins and Fr

32

Michael who have attended each Zoom meeting since April 1st and have helped provide online activities with me.

Membership numbers are low so a relaunch with external publicity may be needed when restrictions are lifted and we can move back into the Hall and hold “real” meetings again.

Steven Castle Youth Group Leader

‘The King’ Parish Magazine

The pandemic has brought about several changes to the production and distribution of the magazine. The months of January, February and March went out in the usual way by printing, collating and distributing which involved several people. The Covid situation disrupted the distribution of the April edition resulting in many subscribers not receiving their copy. The postal subscribers were advised of the situation and alerted to the existence of St. Edmund’s website. It was decided that the magazine should go out on-line and this process commenced with the June edition. On-line issues are provided free of charge. Thanks go to Mike Goddenwho receives material from the Editor and Terry Diggins adds many interesting extra features which it is hoped are appreciated by the readers! Steve Castle receives the magazine material and up-loads it onto the web-site. He also formulates some hard copies which he then sends out to several people who have been members of our community in past years but do not have a computer. Fr Michael ensures that eight members of our present community who are not on-line also receive hard copies and the weekly newsletter. Very many thanks to both for their help.

Further work is required to stablish an appropriate charge for the hard copies, and how to deal with those subscribers who had paid for the whole of 2020 in advance but did not receive all the issues.

Jenny Jones, Honorary Editor

Women’s Guild

The Women’s Guild meet on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. We have a loyal membership and usually enjoy a varied programme, followed by a tea. During 2020, only two meetings were possible: our AGM in February, and in March Sarah Parnaby gave us a very interesting talk on her visit to South Africa.

We look forward to the future and hope to continue our meetings as soon as it is possible.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the PCC of St Edmund the King, Northwood Hills, Diocese of London, Willesden Area

Registered Charity No 1169098

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2020, which are set out on pages 3 to 12.

Respective responsibilities of the PCC and Independent Examiner

The PCC are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The PCC consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to

Basis of Independent Examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission.

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC 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 connection with my examination, no material matters has come to my attention which give me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

I 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.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the PCC of St Edmund the King, Northwood Hills, Diocese of London, Willesden Area

Registered Charity No 1169098

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2020, which are set out on pages 3 to 12.

Respective responsibilities of the PCC and Independent Examiner

The PCC are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The PCC consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to

Basis of Independent Examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission.

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC 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 connection with my examination, no material matters has come to my attention which give me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

I 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.
