The PCC and congregatlon are exceptionally grateful to our non- stipendiary asslstant priest Revd Jane Elliott for carrying out the majority of the clergy tasks that enabled regular worship to continue and thrive through these months. We also record our appreciation forthe help from several other clergy in the diocese who have come and taken services for us. The administration of the parish placed a heavy burden especlally on our churchwardens, to whom the PCC and parish are also very grateful. For the flrst few months of 2024, the church was run entirely on a voluntary basi5. At the end of 2023, we were pleased to hear that the diocese had nominated a sultable candidate for vicar, who was intervlewed in January 2024 and offered and accepted the post. The Revd Stanley Njoka arrived in the parish in May and was instituted by the Blshop in early June 2024.

The Parochlal Church Council of The Ecclesiastical Parish of St. Catherlne's Hatcham Report of the Parochial Church Council for the year ended 31 December 2024 Publlc Benefit When plannlng our activities for the year, we have considered the Commlssion's guidance on public beneflt and, in partlcular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through: • Worship and prayer,, learning about the Gospel; and developin8 their knowledge and trust in Jesus. Provision of pastoral care for people livlng in the parish. ty Mission and outreach work. To facilitate this work it is im portant that we maintaln the fabric of the Church of St. Catherlne's and the Telegraph Hill Centre. PCC Achievement and Performance The activlties of the Church community during the year are set out in the PCC report (published separately) to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting. Financial review of 2024 flnancial year Treasurer's Report During 2024 the PCC continued to receive a steady income from our portfolio of rental propertie5 that form part of the Telegraph Hill Centre complex - these cover 2 studlos for artists, one resldentlal f lat, the Hill Station community café, and the Be Brlght nursery. We completed rent renegotiation and lease extension for the Hill Station and the nursery, with substantially higher rents flowing in from the nursery from Q4 2024. Occasional hires of the church eg for filming or music rehearsal space have also provided addltlonal income. The utilisation of the rooms for hire within the Telegraph Hill Centre ha5 also been good. Voluntary stewardship income to the church remaln5 Strongi With the great majority received under bank standing order and therefore reliable. Apart from certaln non-recurring costs around the new vicar's instltution, general expenditure ha5 been fairly modest. 2024 saw some sizeable bullding maintenance costs, in particular repair to a f lat roof above studio I, and a contribution towards the replacement of the Hill Station's external deckin81 and there are number of items needing to be paid for in the first half of 2025. Cash balances remain adequate, typically between £65,000 and £80,000, in part because the anticipated expenditure on the substantlal building work on the boundary wall did not arlse durlng the year, We are also overdue in claiming around £10,000 Gift aid cash from 2023. We have embarked on urgent work called for in our recent quinquennial Inspectlon but any substantlal expenditure will only occur in 2025 During 2024 we paid in full our Parish Support Fund contrlbution of £62,000 and raised this to £64,500for 2025.
