Financial Report 2023

I'm pleased to report that 2023 ended on a posiJve note financially. Our total income was £92,286 which was £27,186 more than budgeted. We saw increases in our non-gin aid planned giving, and lecngs.

Outgoings were more than budgeted, £67,678 against a budget of £54,225. The main reason for this was an addiJonal payment of £10,000 to the Diocese as part of our contribuJon to the Common Mission Fund. At the start of the year, we agreed a lower contribuJon due to our financial posiJon, however with a more favourable ouSurn idenJfied in the Autumn, the PCC agreed to the addiJonal contribuJon.

We are carrying forward a surplus of £24,608 into 2024. However, as there may be some work required at St Mark's church the surplus may need to go towards this.

Dawn Przybycin – Treasurer

The Income & Outgoings Accounts for 2023 and the Budget for 2024 can be viewed separately.

Mission Giving in 2022 - £4560 plus one-of gigs and special collecXons

Our policy has been to give to ‘mission’ 10% of our personal giving, not of generated income. This includes collecJons plus tax rebates but does not include special collecJons. We give to

InternaJonal, NaJonal and Local Groups; some might have long-term Parish links, whilst others are recommended by members. It was decided to apporJon more of our Giving to InternaJonal Funds -

7

30-40% and NaJonal funds would receive 60-70%. This policy was agreed by the Standing CommiSee in December 2021 but is up for review for 2024. We also encourage seasonal and emergency collecJons: Christmas, Lent, Harvest, Disaster Emergency CommiSee appeals and support other local fundraising events, including ChrisJan Aid Week.

We also support local, ‘personal’ and community needs through the Vicar’s DiscreJonary Fund.

’ ’ – St Luke s & St Mark s Reports 2023

A note from the Church Wardens

The last 12 months have been an amazing Jme. Please do read this report to understand why.

Many reading this will already know about our services at both St. Luke’s, and St. Mark’s. The conJnued growth of the St. Mark’s congregaJon, a diverse congregaJon in many respects, has been a joy. The services at St. Lukes, especially over Easter and Christmas stand out in our minds as especially wonderful Jmes together as a wider Parish.

Unless you aSend however, you could have missed some of the vibrant community life beyond our services. The reforming and growth of the BaSery Club and the conJnuaJon of the Re.vive cafe at St. Mark’s with the volunteers, cake, and weekly conversaJons among the 65+ people joining. We’ve also had the launch of Messy Church at St. Luke’s served by congregants from St. Luke’s and St. Mark’s, enjoying Jme, fun, and food with families in Stanmore. This is just a snapshot of the many acJviJes taking place.

And importantly, none of this would be possible without the Jme and generosity of all of you. We are both deeply glad and grateful.

So, it’s been a great year together in our services, and beyond them, but all of it so that we may encourage one another in our relaJonship with God and let other people know about the hope that Jesus brings to our lives and communiJes. We have many hopes for the year ahead. But for now, we just want to say thank you.

Tom and Brian

A final note from Tom

I have served as Church Warden with Brian for the last few years, and been so grateful for his friendship as we’ve worked together. I want to say thank you to Brian as he takes a well-earned rest from his warden duJes!

Ba<ery Club

The BaSery Club has welcomed several new members since last year and regularly have about 20 members at a meeJng.

Our programme has been varied which has included a cookery demonstraJon, slide shows, Beetle Drive and making Christmas wreaths.

The year ended with a brilliant Christmas Lunch cooked by David Higgins in St Mark’s Church Hall. This year started with an interesJng talk from an AucJoneer, followed by one on BroadcasJng Memories and then one on Natural History IllustraJons and Art.

Our April meeJng was a slide show called “Tour of the Jungfrau” which included many slides of Alpine flowers.

We would welcome anyone who would like to join. We meet on the 2nd Wednesday of the month

9

apart from August from 2.30 – 4.00 pm.

Sue Sadler - BaSery Club Secretary

Revive

Oliver’s Ba<ery Community Café

Re.vive Café celebrated its 2[nd] birthday in March and is aSended by an average of about 65 people – someJmes a lot more! - every Friday morning. We’ve now served over 5000 cups of tea or coffee, usually with a piece of cake, to people mainly from Oliver’s BaSery with some from across the whole parish. An iniJaJve of St Mark’s Church, the Café is staffed by members of different Churches with local volunteers to whom we are enormously grateful – it wouldn’t happen with them! Our guests are mainly older people but we aSract a number of parents with young children. Many are “regulars” but it’s also a delight to welcome new guests every week.

Our main aim is to share the love of God through caring, sharing and befriending people in supporJng St Marks to become a vital hub for the community whilst building a “bridge” into the Church. This has included a harvest lunch, carols at Christmas, a link into the Friday morning Lent course and we are encouraging people to join the planned 12.15 monthly prayer Jme at St Marks. We conJnue to look at how the Café can best serve the local community including having a periodic community “spot” where local organisaJons can share what they’re about.

It's a pleasure to serve in this way and parJcularly to help many who feel isolated find hope and new friends. Please could you pray with us about how the Café might become an increasing focus for enabling the Church’s pastoral outreach in the area.

Big Brew and Transform Trade

Sadly, since the demise of Traidcran there have no longer been regular stalls in Church. However, we are sJll registered as a FairTrade Parish and conJnue to serve Fair Trade tea and coffee at Parish events.

There seem to be two main sources to purchase fairly traded goods, The Ethical Superstore and We Are Fair Trade . There is a minimum spend of £60 to get free P&P but if anyone was interested in purchasing maybe we could combine orders and I would be happy to do the ordering. There are no catalogues but both companies have websites.

We held a small Big Brew coffee morning in March and sent the proceeds to Transform Trade, the organisaJon that took over from Traidcran Exchange, They ‘partner with people who are fighJng for their communiJes and find beSer ways to trade.’ ( www.transfrom-trade.org. )

This year sees the 30th anniversary of the FairTrade organisaJon. With the world in such turmoil, it is more important than ever for us to support the farmers and producers worldwide to help them make a fair living. To this end we are hoping to hold another Coffee Morning during Fair Trade Fortnight in September.

The Brownies

The Brownies have had a varied programme once again. We have looked at community acJon challenges and planted daffodil bulbs in the church rear garden as part of this. We also hope to be involved in the tree watering scheme at the RecreaJon ground. Owslebury handbell group came to visit and everyone had a chance to make music. It's harder than it looks! Through a generous Freecycle gin of cran items, we have been able to make our own rainbow bracelets for Thinking Day and create some wonderful Easter decoraJons. The sock monkeys are sJll a work in progress as they proved to be a bit more Jme consuming than we thought!

Hopefully the weather will improve for this term and we can be out and about in the lighter evenings. The girls have also asked for a food session or two following on from the fruit pancakes in February.

Numbers conJnue to be low - we currently only have 8 girls so we're planning to add a Rainbows secJon to our group. This would mean offering Guiding acJviJes to girls aged 5-10 years old. Hopefully this will be up and running by September.

Thanks to our conJnuous ingenuity in sourcing resources and the generosity from the Parish our operaJng costs remain low so we can conJnue for the foreseeable future. Thank you for this. Girlguiding really is an important space for girls to grow in confidence.

Please do ask anyone interested to get in touch. We'd love to be back at capacity.

Deanery Synod Report

Deanery Synod met only once in person in the last year and once via Zoom. It was mainly concerned with how the Deanery Ideas Fayre would be set up. Ed had proposed that each church in the Deanery would have a table in St. Paul's church on April 13th of this year. The thought behind it would that the different churches could bring what they were doing and to exchange ideas plus networking with other people in the Deanery. Kerry and I aSended with Messy Church and the new Demen:a Cafe . It was, on the whole, fairly successful though one or two churches hadn't grasped the concept.

St Luke’s Flower Arrangers

Do you love flowers? So much colour. We, the group of 5 who currently enjoy arranging flowers in St Luke`s certainly do. However, we are sadly gecng older and frailer and would welcome some extra hands.

I really appreciate spending Jme in an empty St Luke`s enjoying the peace and quiet and marvelling at the variety of flowers that I am about to arrange. Enhancing (hopefully!) the beauty of my surroundings is a privilege.

As a team, we work together at FesJvals (Easter and Christmas). Through the year about 3 or 4 Jmes we each take turns to provide flowers for a pedestal or other arrangement (cost of flowers can be reimbursed).

Please have a word with me if you could consider joining the Team. Many thanks,

Margaret Weaver

A message from our new Curate

Hello everyone, I’m Richard Turner and am the upcoming curate due to start in the parish in July 2024.

For many years I felt that I should think about ordinaJon in the Church of England but was reluctant to pursue it. Aner a prompt from God which I couldn’t ignore any longer, I started exploring a call to this in November 2013. It has been a long journey.

I’m married to Jo and we have four children; we moved to the parish in 2016.

I’m due to get ordained as a Deacon on 30th June 2024 in Winchester Cathedral and am looking forward to being an Assistant Curate (Training) here in the parish of St Luke’s Stanmore and St Mark’s Oliver’s BaSery, and having Rev’d Marianne as my Training Incumbent. I’m a Chartered Electrical Engineer by profession and, as a Self-SupporJng Minister, will conJnue to work in Engineering alongside my new role in the parish. I’m looking forward to meeJng people in the parish and learning about being a curate.

I’m training through the Winchester School of Mission and would like to thank the tutors and staff, and also our many friends in the parish, for their support over the last four years.

Please pray for my family and me on this, our next adventure, that we can find a sustainable balance between work, parish and family life.

Richard Turner

A message from our Ordinand

It has been a great joy to be part of the worshipping community of both St Luke’s and St Mark’s, and I have enjoyed many opportuniJes, including preaching, leading services, and leading intercessions; alongside aSending some funerals and bapJsms. Other parJcular highlights have been playing an elf during St Mark’s Crib Service, visiJng General Johnson Court to join in with carol singing, and being part of a small team who have started a new Messy Church at St Luke’s. I have valued the warm welcome that I have received from the congregaJons of both churches and have loved spending Jme gecng to know people.

Being on placement in a church tradiJon that differs from my own has been enormously helpful for my personal development – both from a learning perspecJve but also spiritually. I have been able to engage with vastly different worship styles and have loved encountering Jesus in new ways. It has also been heart renewing to see my family integrate into our new church family really well, and to begin serving and flourishing in these communiJes also.

Kerry Murphy

Messy Church

I have loved being part of the team that leads Messy Church at St Luke’s each month. Messy Church volunteers come together from both churches, and it brings deep joy to welcome people into the

12

church (parJcularly those who may have very liSle or even no previous church experience), and to offer the gospel in a very accessible way. Each month is centred around a theme (such as prayer or a Biblical character/story) and the session begins with exploring this theme through hands-on acJviJes, such as scavenger hunts and biscuit decoraJng. We then move onto our celebraJon Jme, where we come together to share what we’ve made and to explore the theme in greater depth (we someJmes watch videos clips, or sing songs, or join in with prayer acJviJes etc). We then end the session by sharing a meal together, which is always a highlight!

It has been a real privilege to build relaJonships within the Messy Church community, (both with volunteers and aSendees) and it certainly feels like we are one big family! It is always lovely to hear that the children have fun, as well as their caregivers; Messy Church truly is for everyone! I would love to see even more families join us as we conJnue to meet.

Kerry Murphy

Parish Prayer IniXaXve

During 2023 there were several meeJngs, convened by Revd Marianne and Jane Bates at the request of the PCC, to look at how we might further develop prayer in the parish. This recognised Marianne’s appointment as Priest in Charge unJl July 2027 and the Diocese’s expectaJon for the parish to be sustainable beyond that. We recognised the importance of prayer for the parish in this Jme of transiJon and development. A wide range of suggesJons were discussed. The aim was for more opportuniJes for members of all our congregaJons to pray, further uniJng of our congregaJons, more informaJon to fuel the prayer and discipling acJve members in the priority and pracJce of prayer.

The Parish Prayer MeeJng, originally started by Richard Wise, that had run for many years and conducted by email during and since the pandemic was ending. We are very grateful to Ruth Coggan who has led that for a good number of years.

It was agreed to start with a prayer iniJaJve during Lent 2024. A prayer card was produced and circulated with encouragement for members of our congregaJons to pray for one topic each day. These covered themes of church services, acJviJes, spiritual growth, people, resources and community. AddiJonally, Marianne, Jane and Helen Calder led weekly Prayer in the Parish on Friday lunchJmes at St Mark’s. ASendances ranged from 7 to 17 and both LecJo 365 and the Lent prayer card were used as a basis for our prayers. Margaret Mouland, Jas Bailey and Ruth led three prayer Jmes in their homes with up to 10 people aSending. We also encouraged the prayer card topics to be used in the intercessions at our services.

The level of engagement was encouraging and a short online survey endorsed that. We are now taking the next steps to develop the prayer life of our parish: aiming for variety and to include as many people as possible.

13

If you’d like to know more or to see the prayer survey results please speak to Marianne, Helen or Margaret.

Helen Calder

Curate’s Report

As we reflect on the past year at St. Luke’s and St. Mark’s, I want to acknowledge the commitment and effort of our church community in the face of various challenges. Despite uncertainJes, our dedicaJon to our faith and mission has remained steadfast.

Throughout the year, we have worked diligently to uphold the acJviJes and ministries of our parish. From our regular worship services to our outreach events, each of us has played a vital role in sustaining the life of our community.

Our services have provided opportuniJes for spiritual nourishment and reflecJon. Through these gatherings, we have sought to foster a sense of connecJon and support among our congregaJon members.

Through various iniJaJves, we have endeavoured to extend compassion and assistance to those facing difficult circumstances in our communiJes.

I am grateful for the contribuJons of all who have supported our parish over the past year, whether through serving, aSending services, or offering financial support. Your efforts have made a difference in the lives of many.

Looking ahead, I am opJmisJc about the future of our parish and confident in our ability to adapt and grow in response to new challenges. As we move forward, let us remain grounded in our faith and commiSed to serving others, trusJng in God’s guidance and provision along the way.

Together, let us remain steadfast in our commitment to St. Luke’s and St. Mark’s, knowing that through our efforts, we can make a posiJve impact locally and further afield.

The Parish of St Luke with St Mark, Winchester

Annual Parish Gathering, Sunday 7[th] May 2023

  1. Welcome and Apologies. At 12.10pm Rev’d Marianne Foster opened the meeJng and welcomed the parishioners with a short prayer. There were 48 parishioners present.

Apologies - Jas Bayley, Rosemary Dunhill, Helen Calder, David Lloyd, Margaret Mouland, Margaret and David Weaver, David Boul.

All in favour of Brian and Tom to conXnue in their roles as Churchwardens for the Parish.

2. Minutes of the Annual Parochial Church MeeXng on 8[th] May 2022. All correct with no amendments. All in favour of accepJng the Minutes with 2 abstaining.

  1. PresentaXon of the ‘revised’ Electoral Roll. Sue Sadler presented the revised Electoral Roll. There are 101 names now on the roll of which there are 12 non-residents. Since last year’s roll with 92 names, 4 have been removed; 2 died and 2 moved away and 13 names have now been added, totalling 101. The Electoral Roll lasts for 6 years, the original date for this roll was 2019 and so in 2025, a complete revision of the Electoral roll takes place.

  2. PresentaXon of the Log Books, Terriers & Inventories and Policies. Thanks to Brian Marlow.

  3. ElecXon to the Parochial Church Council : a) Three places for three years (2026). CharloSe ScoS conJnues in her role (proposed by Elizabeth Foulds and seconded by Sue Boul. Thanks to Tania Fowler and Sue Sadler who are now stepping down.

No new people are standing at the moment but we may co-opt a couple of people during the next year, once we’ve looked at the skills-set we need.

6. PresentaXon and Receiving of Accounts for 2022.

Dawn Przybycin presented the Accounts. The 2022 financial year was somewhat different to 2021 and is very difficult to compare figures for 2021/2. We can all see the benefits of the work on St Mark’s. £70k was in the restricted fund in 2021. Income from planned giving was similar to last year. Revive has been a huge success and a great outreach tool for the Church. Fundraising – a couple of quiz nights have taken place over the last year and the mini fair at St Mark’s, Christmas 2022, all of which never happened in 2021 due to covid. The bank interest rate has increased. Lecngs at St Mark’s increased over 2022.

The balance sheet shows CBF shares down in value but are long-term holdings for the Church. End of year balance is £20k up on 2021.

All transacJons for our CBF investments are looked aner by Jane Marlow. Paul and Jean Duke do all the Gin Aid and banking.

Brian Marlow asked about the Parish Share - we have seen a great reducJon, discussed with Colin Harbidge, Churchwardens and Curate.

Brian Sadler told everyone that last year, as a Parish we received a £12k reducJon in the Parish Share. This year, aner looking at our future outgoings, we have applied for another reducJon and have agreed a 50% discount for this year. We are well aware more Parishes which reduce their share create pressure on the Diocese and hopefully we will be able to top it up at the end of the year. However, there is the need to ringfence our finances with what’s happening in the future. Need to ask more people to pledge more money to raise our income and focus on fundraising

15

Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) – easier for people to give and reduces admin. We are signing up for it at present. We want to tell people how to sign up and why we give as part of our worship. Gin Aid scheme will conJnue to run alongside this.

Tom Foster explained how things are now more certain with Marianne in charge for the next 5 years, prayerfully thinking about plans for the whole Parish, serving our communiJes. We will talk about PGS in forthcoming services. We need to cover all the resources used (electricity, gas and water). We had a bill for £3k plus a further £1k for heaJng and lighJng. We are on a 4-yr contract for our energy which will jump quite considerably once our fixed rate expires in May 2024.

We are looking at how to make the hall more efficient. Tom is looking at all the bookings during the week: 2/3 are charged bookings which cover all our charges and a 1/3 aren’t charged – ie services, Revive, BaSery club, Brownies. Marianne thanked the finance team. David Chafe proposes we accept the Accounts, seconded by Jane Bates and all in favour.

  1. Appointment of Independent Examiner of Accounts for 2023 . Dawn proposes we accept Caroline Sargeant for another year as Examiner of St Luke’s Accounts, seconded by Geoff Fowler and all in favour.

8. Receipt of the Report 2022/3. Brian M quesJoned pg 2 of the Report – shouldn’t we be including the BCMs – Barry and Jas alongside the LLMs (Margaret M)? No because they are not ex-officio. Geoff also commented that Rosemary Dunhill resigned in 2022 not 2023. Brian M proposed we accept the Report, seconded by Paul Duke and all in favour.

  1. Safeguarding Update from Elizabeth. Parish audit highlighted more awareness needed under the module of Safer recruitment and people management. 3 Church officers and in addiJon Marianne, have undertaken the online leadership training course and most members of the PCC have now completed the domesJc abuse course.

10. Vicar’s Intray and Thanks

Marianne would like to express her hear•elt graJtude in what has been a challenging year in which we have come out stronger and more united. A big thank you to the Churchwardens and the work of the PCC which has helped keep the Churches running smoothly. Also hear•elt thanks to Margaret Mouland and Mary Ramsay and BCM people who have contributed to the church services. Also thanks to those who have managed the bookings for the halls, those on the rotas and Becky; those involved in services, whether it be reading, prayer leading, serving, musicians, flower arrangers, those serving tea and coffee – your hospitality is welcomed by all. Thanks to everyone involved in the Parish. Marianne is honoured to serve as parish priest and is grateful for our presence in the local community.

A big thank you to the magazine team which unfortunately has now folded.

Thanks to Brian Marlow and Mary East. Special thanks to Mary Ramsay for her ministry, as LLM. The newsleSer is circulated, along with being posted to the website.

Sue Boul asked for some merger documentaJon - Marianne stated the merger is now off the table. The reorganisaJon and pastoral scheme have been dissolved.

Helen Bugg asked about St Mark’s extension to the sanctuary - there is other work to be done first.

Mark Collinson wanted to thank Marianne for her Jreless ministry out in the community. We only see a fracJon of what she does. Thanks for being an ‘incumbent’!

Independent Examiner’s Report to the members/trustees of St Luke and St Mark Parochial Church Council, Winchester

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of St Luke and St Mark PCC, Winchester for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of St Luke and St Mark PCC, Winchester you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of St Luke and St Mark PCC, Winchester’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

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 giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of St Luke and St Mark PCC, Winchester as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records.

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.

Signed:

Name: Caroline Sargeant MAAT

Address: 8 Fulflood Court, Greenhill Road, Winchester, SO22 5EG Date: 17 April 2024
