THE PARISH OF HOLY TRINITY, LAMORBEY Registered charity number 1171897 ## **_________________________________________________________** ## ANNUAL REPORT ## OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2023 ## **_________________________________________________________** **Incumbent:** The Reverend Mark Blakely **Bankers:** Barclays Bank plc **Independent Examiner:** Stephen England F.C.C.A. ## **ANNUAL REPORT 2023** Dear Brothers and Sisters, 2023 was a year of God’s continued blessing, progress and growth. The year began with our first Plough Sunday and the blessing of vintage tractors, which has now established itself in the church calendar as a popular festival to help transition from Christmas to Epiphany. It was good to host the annual Churches Together in Sidcup Unity service in January. The church heating caused continued problems due to an underground leak. The church was poorly heated with gas cylinders during Advent and Christmas 2022 and this continued until the end of January 2023. The system was repaired by Ecclesiastical Insurance and the boiler limped on to Easter. The diocesan DAC could not agree on an alternative to a gas boiler (which they would not allow). A group of PCC members toured churches in the Canterbury diocese that have installed infrared chandeliers. Our diocese indicated that they wanted a range of ornate and dummy chandeliers that would have been prohibitively expensive. Finally in autumn 2023, the PCC agreed to extensively refurbish the old gas boiler so that we had heating for winter 2023/4. The issue of old pipework in church still requires attention and it is intended that this be tackled in the summer months. Lent and Easter were well attended. On Good Friday we joined the walk of witness along Sidcup High Street with our own church devotions beginning at 1pm with Stations of the Cross. It was particularly poignant because Annette Barber, a much beloved advocate of church unity, went to heaven during Passiontide. It was moving when all of the gathered congregations prayed for her on the green on Main Road. The Easter morning daybreak matins at the lake in the Glade is becoming a key part of our celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. A doughty group of pilgrims reestablished the annual pilgrimage to Walsingham in mid-April. This was thoroughly enjoyed, especially by our Ukrainian family who will have been living at the vicarage for two years by April 2024. The continued collection of foodstuffs and medical aid that is delivered weekly is a remarkably generous and dedicated act of compassion by Holy Trinity. We formed a healing and wholeness team and held a healing service with more planned for 2024. We had six adult candidates for confirmation this year and the visit of Bishop Simon to St John’s, during the weekend of the amazing summer fayre, was excellent. We note that Bishop Jonathan will not confirm children under the age of 13. We welcomed Fr Andrew as our new curate in September. Andrew brings a richness to our spiritual life. Our primary school continues to improve and grow. Headteacher Mr Oliver Winstone is unflappable and popular. The school had an Ofsted inspection in October and was given a “good” rating. We thank Sandra Paddon MBE for her dedication to the school as the outgoing chair of governors. It has been a blessing to welcome new members - Daniel and Aaron to the choir and Harry to the serving team, are much loved young people. Kevin and Rosie along with Koios, Aether and Nephele have been inspired to lead our Sunday school and we give hearty thanks for all that they do to help share the gospel with our young folk. 1 We have been gladdened by the loyalty of our Scouts and Guides. Their attendance at parades and help with our fundraising has been heartening. It was very good to welcome two new groups into our orbit this year: the Sidcup RAF Air Cadets (ATC) and Sidcup Royal Naval Association. We have a dedicated ministry team. The housebound and our nursing home residents are well looked after. There is a continuing programme of improvements planned for the hall, as funds allow. The PCC are also proceeding with the adaption of our current toilets into a wheelchair friendly toilet. This will reduce the number from two to one, but we remember that disabled visitors and worshippers have limited choice whilst the more able bodied can wait or use the hall. We are also progressing with plans to install a kitchenette at the back of the church and are grateful for F.A. Albin and Sons for agreeing to fund this. Our year concluded with a very full and well-attended Advent and Christmas season. A particular joy being the return of Marlborough School pupils, carers and families. Mother Renate began the process of saying goodbye after a successful curacy and we wish her well for her future in Bournemouth. Our continued success would not be possible without the grace and blessing of the Holy Spirit and the love, care and hard work of a whole galaxy of faithful members of the congregation. Thank you. Fr Mark 2 Holy Trinity Church, Hurst Road, Sidcup, DA15 9AE seeks to provide a pastoral, evangelistic, social/prophetic and ecumenical mission to the community. The Parish Office is based in the Church Hall. The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is responsible for the maintenance of the Church building, the Church Hall and adjacent lands on Hurst Road, Sidcup. ## **Council Membership** The PCC comprises elected representatives of the laity serving for a period of three years, lay members of Deanery Synod; Licensed Reader appointed by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting under Church Representation Rules; and ex-officio members. At the Annual Parochial Church Meeting in 2014 a Resolution was passed that no representative of the laity being a member of the PCC may hold office for more than three years continuously. An interval of one year must pass before such an individual is eligible to stand again for election as a representative on the Council. At the APCM in 2023 a Resolution was passed that the term of office of a PCC member ends either after three years or if three meetings are missed during a year, unless there is good reason. During the year the following served as members of the PCC: ## _**Ex-Officio Members**_ The Reverend Mark Blakely Chair The Reverend Renate Tulloh Vice-chair The Reverend Andrew Smith Curate (from 30.9.2023) Sue Knight Churchwarden Doreen Pitcher Churchwarden Sarah Blew Licensed Reader ## _**Elected Representatives on the Deanery Synod of Sidcup (2023 – 2026)**_ Morwenna Semos Madeleine Waggett Treasurer ## _**Elected Members to serve until the Annual Parochial Church Meeting 2024**_ Sandra Paddon MBE, Joan Pape, Sue Williamson ## _**Elected Members to serve until the Annual Parochial Church Meeting 2025**_ Nicolette Gaskin, Ian Giles ## _**Elected Members to serve until the Annual Parochial Church Meeting 2026**_ William Burton, Bob King, Ruth Thomas, Irene Wild _**Standing Committee**_ **:** The entire PCC are considered members of the Standing Committee. The PCC met 7 times during 2023. Reports were received from representatives of Churches Together in Sidcup and the Deanery Synod. The PCC complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 and formally adopted the House of Bishops’ “Promoting a Safer Church; safeguarding policy statement”. A copy is displayed in the church porch together with contact details of the Parish Safeguarding Officer. 3 ## **Working Groups & Committees** Several working groups and committees convene between PCC meetings to engage in the work of the Church: ## **The Ministry Team** The Ministry Team usually meets monthly by invitation of the Vicar. In 2023 it comprised all those who held licensed or permission to officiate (PTO) ministries: our Curate, our Licensed Reader, our PTO Reader, our Pastoral Assistants and our Churchwardens; with the Parish Administrator in attendance. We met to support each other in our work and identify ways of developing the pastoral and worshipping life of the congregation. Additionally, the following were authorised by the Vicar to assist at the Holy Eucharist: Lynne Buckley, Martin Carruthers, Rosemary Coleman, Terry Hales, Sue Knight, Sandra Mackie, Sandra Paddon MBE, Anna Staple, Marissa Tribe, Madeleine Waggett and Cdt. Cpl. Callum Macdonald. ## **Safeguarding** The PCC has an obligation to adopt and promote safeguarding policy and approve an action plan to implement it. The policy it has adopted is “Promoting a Safer Church”, which the Church of England states must underpin all safeguarding work within the church. The PCC reviews its action plan on compliance with the policy annually. (Its last review was in September 2023). It also receives regular safeguarding reports. In November 2023 the PCC authorised the Sunday School as a new church activity, in addition to the choir and the serving team. This means that the PCC has responsibilities in relation to the activity’s governance, finance and insurance. In November 2023 the PCC also reviewed and adopted a policy on the recruitment of ex-offenders, which is a requirement of the Church of England’s practice guidance on Safer Recruitment. _Penny Bull_ _Parish Safeguarding Officer/Lead Recruiter_ ## **The Ark** The Ark gives children a chance to discover the Bible through crafts and activities and takes place in the Vestry on most Sundays during the 10am Mass. We leave the Mass before the first reading and rejoin at the Peace enabling children to have a blessing - open to all children (and parents if they wish). _Kevin Burrows, Rosie Goode and Nicolette Gaskin_ ## **Fundraising and Social Committee Report** This year we were getting back into being a real fundraising committee after the various covid restrictions over the last three years. We sold cakes and books after the Sunday Services, worked with the Sidcup Partners who held a ‘Globe’ at our church, and we served refreshments. There was a Coronation Family Activity Day in May which was well attended by parents and children from the Youth Organisations and again we did refreshments. In June we held our Summer Fete. It was an extremely hot day. A lot of gazebos were put up but not enough for everyone so the PCC have agreed that we can buy a couple for the coming year. We had 4 live music with ‘The Jolly Good Old Timers’ which, along with brightly coloured stalls, brings people in from the street. We would like to thank the Youth Organisations for bringing over all the tables and chairs, without their help we would not have been able to run the fete. They also organised a Race Evening which was well attended. We did not hold an Autumn Fair as it was not well attended the previous year. Instead, when the Christmas cards were being distributed we had a few stalls and a Christmas Raffle. Thank you to all those who have supported the fundraising events this year. _Doreen Pitcher_ ## **Facilities Report** In accordance with Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, revised and updated, Fire Risk Assessments have now been completed for both Church and Church Hall and in further accordance with those regulations, are held on the premises to which each applies. A new rubbish bin for the church grounds was ordered and delivered. This will be installed in 2024. With the agreement of the Churchwardens, the defective sink water heater in the organ loft has been removed and a replacement purchased and fitted. Thanks to Steve Paddon for his assistance in this task. Following a failure of the church heating system in 2022, the PCC agreed that a major refurbishment was required. This was partially carried out and appears to be functioning well. Further work on the system may need to be considered in 2024. Other minor routine maintenance, e.g. replacement of light bulbs, has also been done. _Ian Giles_ _Facilities Manager_ ## **Social Club** The Social Club has had another special year with the celebration of the King’s Coronation, and our 47[th] Birthday. Sadly, we have lost two members but have also gained three and so our membership is maintained. We look forward to another year of social events and happy times. _Valerie Holdsworth_ ## **Churchwardens' Report** In January the annual test and inspection for the lightning protection on the church was carried out and was found to be in good working order and a certificate was issued. We also had all the gutters checked and cleaned. In September, Green and Stone Landscapers carried out the following work in the church grounds: - removal of two dead cherry trees down to ground level - pollard of three ash trees removing main limbs nearest the roadside - trimming of yew trees overhanging the footpath of Halfway Street. We also carried out an audit of the church grounds and we are happy to say that we have some new willing helpers to add to the hard-working gardening team. This year the service of admittance took place at Bishop Ridley Church led by the Venerable Allie Kerr. Morwenna accompanied us to this very special service. _Sue Knight and Doreen Pitcher_ 5 ## **Hall Management Group Report** As we started 2023 we were very aware that the general income to the Main Church Account was a lot less than was required to maintain the Pledge required by the Diocese. We therefore decided that we should curb our enthusiasm to improve our facilities and first make sure that we could improve our contribution to the Main Account. We decided to increase our annual transfer from the hall account to the main church account from £8,000 to a very ambitious £12,000.00. We exceeded our target for this new amount, and indeed in November we were able to inject a further £1,500.00 to assist with another matter. This meant that in 2023 we were able to transfer a total of £13,500.00. Of course, it was still necessary to maintain the condition of the hall and we are grateful to Keith Payne who has carried out an enormous amount of maintenance throughout the year, including having the glass panels in the main doors replaced after a disabled scooter driver accidentally damaged them in November. One project that did need to be done was the protection of the heating plant in the small storage room and this was done by Kevin one of our parishioners. Another was the fitting of new notice boards which Keith has done. We have also bought new table trolleys. We are planning more improvements for the new year and these will be visible by the time that this report is circulated. We needed an update of our Fire Risk Assessment and we are grateful to Ian Giles for producing an excellent report. Of course, to keep our income up we rely on the tireless work done by Pat Payne. After a slow start our income from hirers has increased, this included a new hirer ‘The Pauline Quirke Academy’. One downside is our relationship with our neighbours, Kallars, and despite an approach by Fr. Mark things did not improve and we have not enjoyed the harmonious dealings that we have with other local businesses. Happily, Albins, on the other hand, have been brilliant and they have taken up all the car park spaces vacated by Kallars. Luke Cashin is one of our unsung heroes and he works all through the year to obtain grants to assist with the implementation of our hall improvements. In 2024 we will have new blinds to replace the curtains, new storage cupboards and decorations to the small hall, and even more enhancements in the pipeline. We will also maintain our £12,000.00 contribution to the church account, which has been made possible by an increase in our hire rates. We are very lucky to have Oliver Dean as our Treasurer. Keeping track of all the above financial dealings needs a lot of attention. Fr. Mark is not the type of Chairman who sits back and lets others do the work and he puts in a lot of effort to ensure a trouble-free existence and induce contributions from outside sources. Finally, our Churchwarden Sue Knight ensures we have a good relationship with the PCC. All the above meant that our anticipated consolidation year after Covid has been an extremely positive and constructive one and 2024 looks even better. _Bob King_ 6 Relationships Eiternallv Directed We supported seNeral extemal charities this year: The Guide Dogs for The Blind and RNIB (the Social Club's charities of the year), The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. the Bexley Foodbank and our Ukraine appeal. The Foodbank and Ukraine appeal have both been supported generously each week with donations of food and medical supplies. Monetary support for the L'kTain¢ appeal enabled four friends to join the prayer pilgrimage to Walsingham in April. In December a beautiful Ukrainian wedding blessing ceremony took place, and the PCC were delighted to approve paying for the fees from this fimd as a gift to the young couple. Heartfelt thanks are given for your eontinued generosity. IA Hurst Road The PCC continues to offer a commercial lease on the otTJce above th¢ Church Hall. The lease has been renewed for a period of five years on an increased lent recommended by a professional sur%'eyor.
