The PCC members present their report and accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2022 for the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Crawley, St John the Baptist (operating under the name of St John’s, Crawley).

PCC member training

All staff, volunteers and PCC members undergo a formal recruiting and selection process, followed by an induction period that included any training considered necessary to effectively perform their role. Senior Management of the Church consists of Clergy, whose pay is set via a stipend, the level of which is set by the Diocese, and the management team, whose pay is set by the PCC with reference to appropriate market rates.

Risk Management

The Church’s operations are wholly reliant upon the members of the congregation continuing to give money and time to support the church’s staffing and activities. Should this funding cease, the church would be unable to continue to support all its current activities and staffing levels. This risk is managed on behalf of the church by the PCC which is chaired by the Rev’d Steve Burston.

The PCC uses the management accounts of the church and considers what activities and staffing the church is able to commit to and agrees necessary remedial actions to ensure the church is able to continue its operations. The preparation of the management accounts is overseen by the treasurer of the church, the year-end examination is undertaken by an independent examiner.

Grant Making

The charity pays grants in the form of mission giving. The level of mission giving is set at the start of each financial year by the PCC members and is based on the charity’s projected income and asset levels.

Volunteers

The church benefit from the dedicated work of a great number of volunteers. In accordance with FRS 102 and the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the economic contribution of general volunteer is not recognised in the accounts.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITES

The charity was registered with the Charity Commission on the 8[th] November 2017.

The PCC is committed to the vision statement of the church to play our part in the re-evangelisation of the nation, the revitalisation of the Church and the transformation of society, that they articulate as ‘Love Jesus, Love Church and Love Crawley’. In accordance with the vision statement, the church aims to meet its objectives through the provision of church services, courses, social transformation projects, resourcing other Churches in the area and discipleship in the Way of Jesus.

Public Benefit

In accordance with our duties as stated in section 17(5) of the Charities Act, we have considered the guidance provided by the Charity Commission in regard to public benefit. This public benefit has been demonstrated by the activities undertaken since inception of the charity outlined above.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Vicar’s Report

It’s has been an incredible year in the face of several storms of life such as Covid, economic crisis, political uncertainty, and war on our doorsteps in Ukraine. We have seen across the Churches across the town and the Network of HTB, the struggles and the challenges that we have faced mirrored in other contexts. However, we have also seen the incredible blessings of the Strategic Development Fund Bid from the Church Commissioners, that have enabled us to press on with playing our part in the evangelisation of the nations, the revitalisation of church and the transformation of society. We have seen baptisms, confirmations and transformed lives in the past year. There is much to celebrate and much to press further into God for. In March we hosted the visit of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby for the second time at St John’s since we have been here. The archbishop spoke to the team and we hosted a breakfast for over 6O Business leaders and the day was finished with an incredible Youth focused apologetics session led by the theologian Amy OrrEwing.

In March we also went as a staff team to HTB to Assemble a day of Vision and empowerment from Nicky and Pippa as they started to hand over the reins to Archie and Sam Coates. In June we had Jeremy Jennings come to preach at all services. Jeremy has been the head of prayer ministry at HTB for over 30 years and inspired us to bolder and more persistent prayers! We also in June hosted the Multiply Conference for the Gregory Centre (the Church of England centre for Church planters). We saw numerous churches from Sussex be represented

as we explored Church planting together. We have continued to support St Richard’s and St Peter’s as we have explored how we might help in their vision and how we hold all the Churches together. We held several Church Vision evenings and joint PCC’s. It’s been great to see the West Green Cinema flourish and Revd Sam Buck begin his ministry at St Richard’s.

In September we rebranded as Church Crawley @, and we saw amazing creativity from Paul Fitzgerald, James Hamilton and Henry Milne (our external designer.) I hope you still are all using your tote bags with pride. We also pressed into new values of Humble, Home, Humility, Generosity, Risk taking for the Kingdom and Excellence. At St John’s, we have seen growth in congregation and the 38 Baptisms and amazing story of faith. It was an amazing Good Friday celebration in Queen Square with over 400 gathering as we hosted the LYN Service. It was so good to have Easter in person and again one of the highlights being the Agape Meal. We have and continue to be on a journey spiritually pressing into the pursuit of holiness and that is the pursuit of God. From the Lord’s prayer to Haggai to Holiness, we continue to press into Jesus. In July it was an honour to see our very own Revd Will Kane ordained in Brighton alongside Revd Charlotte White – who a week later became Revd Charlotte Dobson. It was also great to see Pete Dobson (her new husband) start as a vicar in training at St Mellitus College. At the end of October, we also welcomed Revd Thea Edwards as Associate Minister and her husband Joe. She began her ministry at St Johns preaching at Remembrance Sunday and the Civic Christmas Service, and Joe in the drum box.

Other Highlights have been Focus where 150 of the Church Family went away with over 8000 from HTB Network (huge thank you to Hazel), the Youth and Kids Ministries, The Bridge Café, Turning Point, HIA, HHA Trip to Uganda, Renaissance Conference in Hackney, LYN, Alpha’s, Marriage Course (Alan and Kay), Bereavement Course and so much more. We also launched the Character School with 5 English speaking cohort and 10 Farsi Speakers. Also, a huge thank you for those that keep St John’s tidy (gardening team under Anne, Roger as Sacristan, and the Churchwardens).

Young Adults Young Adults (YA’s) continues to grow, and it has been so amazing to see God work in our 18-30’s community. We have seen new people join the church through moving to Crawley for work and people start out their journey of faith through attending the Alpha course. Alpha is where we have seen growth in new YAs with the YA team serving on Alpha as well. Massive thank you to Dan and Lisa Joyner for this, who led a YA’s Alpha group which saw people coming to faith and start coming to church. Dan and Lisa have served so well on the YA team and are such a massive support to my wife Jeanne and myself in leading it. Another highlight in 2022 was the running of

the Way of Jesus course with our YA’s. 11 YAs attended the course which started in March. The Way of Jesus course is a course that was developed by St John’s as a way to grow in our relationship with Jesus and an introduction into spiritual disciplines. There was great engagement throughout the course with many saying this really helped them grow in their relationship with Jesus and find a voice in a group setting. The 6pm service at St John’s has continued to grow in 2022 and regularly gets 60-70+ people which are mostly YA’s. This has been so encouraging to see and a real community has been built at the 6pm Youth 2022 was full of growth and change for youth at St John’s. We started the year continuing with our Sunday morning and Friday evening groups which steadily grew in numbers and engagement. We had a great trip to Lazer tag and took part in a visit by Amy Orr Ewing in February, where young people were able to explore deep questions and apologetics. Off the back of this event, Friday nights included a ‘big questions’ slot, where young people could submit questions anonymously and we addressed one each week all together. It was amazing to see what questions were on their hearts. At Easter we said a sad goodbye to our Youth Pastor Abby, who took up a youth support role at East Surrey hospital and has remained in a supportive role in the youth work at the church. Sam Buck took on responsibility for youth work whilst we advertised for a new Youth Pastor. The youth began to meet in an upstairs room at Crow Coffee on Crawley High Street in the summer term due to steadily increasing numbers. This was a real help to us and a positive sign that we needed the extra space! Other highlights included a trip to clip and climb, many youths joining us at Focus in the summer, and some of our youth being baptised and confirmed. We interviewed for the job of Youth Pastor in July, with young people playing a vital part in the process and we appointed Adriana Papet to the role. In October Adriana started her new role, bringing enthusiasm, passion and drive. She has taken to the role well and the youth have responded well to her. Adriana and Sam helped a number of youths to lead an evening service in November as a ‘youth take over’, this enabled young people to explore giftings and ministries within the church and was an encouraging start to what we hope is the beginning of ongoing involvement. The team managed to run a brilliant Christmas party complete with a full Christmas dinner for the youth to round out the year that had much to be thankful for.

Kids Church looked at the miracles of Jesus on Sundays. We celebrated Easter with a Good Friday breakfast in the hall where we had breakfast and worshipped before heading over to the Good Friday service in Queens Sq. This was well attended with some great connections made with a large % of Tots parents attending their first church service. This is something we will build on

for 2023 with more Easter activities during Holy Week. In Summer term, the Kids looked at God’s people of the Old Testament, specifically looking at how we can apply the OT to our lives. We also ran the Parenting for Faith course which had 5 families attend who engaged well with the course and got a lot out of it. Summer also saw the Kids join the rest of the church family at HTB Focus, where we saw over 30 kids attend with their families which was really encouraging to see. There was an increased bond between the Kids and Becky and Emily served on the HTB Focus Kids team and saw a real encounter with God and our Kids. At Focus we said thank you and goodbye to Becky as Kids intern, but she continues to serve on Sundays at Kids Church and at Tots on Friday and we are very thankful for all her support.

Another highlight was the Crib Service with sheep in the church, Will dressed as a Christingle and the Children acted out the Nativity story. Over 120 people came to the service at St John’s and a target for 2023 will be to roll this out across St Peters and St Richards. We have also worked more closely with Northgate Primary having school visits to the Church and we will continue to build this connection going forward.

Midweek Eucharist continues to engage those members of our congregation who are either not able to attend our 9am Traditional Eucharist on Sunday, or who prefer the smaller, more reflective nature of the midweek service; and we are regularly seeing between 14-20 people attending. Since September, as the Church Crawley clergy team has grown, there has been a greater clergy and team presence at this midweek service. This service has also served as a ministry placement area for individuals on the Character School, offering opportunities for them to preach, lead prayers of intercessions, connect with congregation members and generally learn more about the Eucharistic service. Out of our midweek congregation, we have established a midweek discipleship group (“Huddle”) who gather fortnightly after the service and coffee for a time of intentional group discussion and study focused on a particular topic of faith.

Alpha Spring ‘22 saw us offer an online Alpha course for perhaps the last time, alongside an in-person evening course, which in total attracted 18 guests wishing to explore and grow in faith (8 online and 10 in person). In Summer ’22, we ran both a morning and evening course and were really excited to have our first Farsi speaking Alpha group (6 guests), led by Ryan O’Grady, and using the Farsi Alpha videos alongside google translate. Morning Alpha was held at Crow coffee shop on the high street, where we had use of an upstairs room. We were disappointed that 6 individuals started the course but only 2 completed it, but we remind ourselves that numbers are not the be all and end all, and that the difference made to two individuals’ journeys of faith is worth

it. Nonetheless, it was decided not to run morning Alpha at Crow again due to the cost. The evening course was attended by 10 guests. In Autumn ’22, Liz Rockingham stepped back from her involvement with Alpha, having helped as Alpha transitioned from Martin’s hands to mine, and we were so grateful to Liz for all her help.

In Autumn, Charlotte Dobson and Jordan Crabtree joined the Alpha team. We had an amazing number of signups for our Autumn term of Alpha, with 5 evening groups, including 1 Farsi-speaking group, led by our translator Sahar Davis, and one Spanish-speaking group. We had 34 guests overall. Worship saw the worship and production team grow to 30 members who continue to regularly serve by leading the church in worship. Easter 2022 saw the return of the agape meal Good Friday Queens Square service in person. This was a particularly special time following the previous two years. For the Good Friday service an upgraded stage and audio system was used which was enjoyed by many and provided easier setup, more space and sturdier wet weather cover if needed. There were also two large LYN banners able to be hung on either side of the stage, brilliantly designed by Paul. There were five churches represented in the band and production team and a number of church leaders from across Crawley as well as Christian charity representatives spoke.

At Focus 2022 James was invited to lead worship at the morning prayer sessions lead by Jeremy Jennings and Steve spoke on a panel at a seminar about leading a church with both traditional and contemporary expressions of worship. November saw some of the worship team and creative team head to Renaissance, a creative conference at SAINT, Hackney. This was a profoundly moving and inspiring time, and the experiences has during the times of worship formed part of the journey towards Encounter in 2023. Christmas 2022 at Church began with carols outside Crow on the Highstreet where we began inviting people to "Come Home" for Christmas at Church. We were pleased to be back in County Mall for Unity Carols with the other churches involved in Love Your Neighbour, all this before we began advent with a powerful time of Non-Stop Prayer.

This year's Contemporary Carols service featured another excellent video from Paul and the creative team, and then we had our evening of Traditional Carols followed by Carols in The Swan. We had a great time together at Firepits and Carols, our Huddle end-of-term social, but one of the highlights of Christmas '22 must've been the return of the sheep for the crib services on Christmas Eve!

Discipleship

Prayer, we held two nonstop prayer events one in June before the Patronal festival and one in the first week of advent. The prayer events were well attended and had lots of people engaging in prayer for the first time. Prayer Meetings During 2022 we met at 7am on Wednesdays for the Spring and Autumn term. This was a space for intercessory prayer for the world. Morning Prayer Over the year morning prayer took on different forms as well as the daily office prayer included prayer walking, praying around the different churches, creative prayer, Bible study, worship Wednesday etc. 12 APCM 11th MAY 2023 Apprentices From Sept 21 to July 2022 we ran our apprenticeship program with Amber supporting LYN, Becky supporting KIDS, Emily Sellis-Pole supporting KIDS, Adriana Papet supporting Youth/ Discipleship and Ops and Alex Lindsay Stewart also supporting Youth. They served for three days including Sundays to help support the running of programs in the church. Fridays where they had mentoring, formation and teaching by Phil Playfoot and Tuesdays to support work in ministries. Alex, Adriana and Emily went on to be employed by the church when their apprenticeship finished.

Character School Launched Sept 2022 Steve Burston and Phil Playfoot worked together to put together an incredible program called Character School: Leadership development the way of Jesus. This program encompasses teaching, mentoring, leadership experience, formation and support. Character School began with two cohorts: Farsi cohort – With Sahar Davis translating along with 10 Farsi speakers English cohort – We started with five people Prathna and Isaiah Hatcher, Richard York, Shaun Choules Read and Liz Rockingham It began with a retreat in Brighton where people shared their stories. This bought vulnerability, love, laughter and deep fellowship almost immediately.

Huddles were launched in January 2022 Ten huddles were launched in Jan 2022 with a further two in Sept 2022. At the end of 2022. There were 41 huddle leaders and 172 in huddles. Huddles looked at Character and then looking at the church values of hungry, humble, home, excellence, taking risks and generosity.

Courses:

The Bereavement journey This course was run in Jan 2022 it had 7

participants. It started with dinner and ran at the Burstons house. It was led by Reninca and proved a very special, transformative time.

Kintsugi Hope This also ran in Jan 2022, let by Phil Playfoot and Katie Worrollo. This had 8 sign ups, it was well attended and provided useful tools for the participants.

The Marriage Course This ran in Sept 2022 run by Alan and Kaye Turnbull. It was attended by 8 couples and ran in the hall. A two-course dinner was provided by Helen and her team which was incredible. The couples all seemed to appreciate the support the marriage course offered. Lent Lunches Over lent St Johns held Saturday lent lunches. This was attended by numbers varying from 6- 14 people.

Parenting for Faith This was held in April 2022 and was held online to allow parents with children to attend. Sam and Amy Buck led this course on zoom, it was attended by 5 different sets of parents.

Social Mission

Bridge café - During 2022 The Bridge Cafe has run breakfast clubs on 3 mornings per week. On Mondays we served cooked breakfasts for Crawley Armed Forces veterans and have seen 98 different veterans since we opened

in the January. Both male and female veterans really value being able to gather on a weekly basis, sharing past and present stories, combat loneliness and allow veterans to "return to the tribe". Support is also available from the visiting agencies e.g., Walking with the Wounded and The British legion amongst others. We've seen many veterans coming along to services at St Johns, especially civic services. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, the Crawley probation team continued to be supported by us at the cafe where we offer a listening ear, support and encouragement as well as breakfasts to those on probation meeting with their officers. The women in particular, hugely benefit on the women only day by being able to bring their children who wouldn't be allowed in the probation offices. Again, support is available, and the appointment is often one where a client is seen and supported by 2 or more different agencies on the same day. On Saturdays, Anne has continued to lead a team for Turning Point @ The Bridge Cafe to open its doors for tea, coffee and cake to anyone who wants to stop for refreshments, chats, company and more. For many, this is their only outing or social contact all week. Of course, none of this would be possible without the amazing volunteers that serve at The Bridge throughout the week. Their love and commitment to these various groups is simply amazing. However, we are always looking for more volunteers!

HIA house Hope into Action (HIA) is a charity which enables churches to support vulnerable members of their community. Historically Church Crawley’s referrals have been for the homeless or those coming out of prison who want to make a fresh start with their lives. However, at the end of 2022 HIA purchased a 3-bedroom family home in Ifield that we hope to use to home a vulnerable family, possible even a refugee family. A Ukrainian family were initially put forward and were a wonderful choice, however as the family are in

the process of being reunited with additional family members became too many tenants for the home. We are exploring additional refugee families and widened the scope to include families fleeing domestic violence. In the autumn of 2022, we conducted befriending training for a group of volunteers seeking to support this family in 2023. HIA still have a town centre home in which 2 exoffenders are still residing. Tenant 1 has been living at the home since 2021 and despite having had a challenging few months for his mental health, actually attended church. We continue to pray for engagement with him as a church and are so thankful for our amazing team of befrienders who continue to offer opportunities for support. Unfortunately, tenant 2 struggled to engage befrienders and has since moved out. A 3rd tenant moved in in the summer of 2022, an ex-offender, who has fully engaged with the church, attending regularly and completing an Alpha course in the autumn term.

Chaplaincy Phil and Jane continued to run the chaplaincy service at the doctor’s surgery throughout 2022. At times it was slow due to lack of referrals from the doctors, but a reminder of their services brought the referrals flooding in, to a point when their books were full. The doctors are very grateful to be able to refer patients and there have been many positive outcomes with patients grateful for the support. A number of clients were referred on to Love Your Neighbour for practical support. Please pray for the future of this ministry, particularly around funding, and for wisdom for Phil and Jane as they deal with some complex clients.

Recovery course is a 12-week programme for anyone who has, or who supports anyone, who has a dependency or addiction of any kind. It is based on the AA 12 step programme and is a confidential and safe space where participants a supported by a team of volunteers, all of whom have been affected by dependency/addiction. Unfortunately, due to Covid the previous recovery course had to stop but throughout 2022 discussions have been had about re-launching it as we see such a big need for this ministry, with so many people in Crawley suffering in this way. We see this at the Bridge café, LYN hub and the Chaplaincy. By the end of 2022 we had identified a wonderful team of volunteers who are passionate about being involved in this ministry, which will be re-launching in April 2023.

Love Your Neighbour Crawley is part of a national initiative offering support to people in need or crisis. In Crawley it is a collective of local churches and volunteers who partner with other local agencies to serve the community, supporting the with food provision, employment, debt and wrap around care. LYN has had an extremely busy year again. The highlight was in January when we had the grand opening of our new Listening & Signposting drop in hub, working alongside the Easter Team foodbank. It operates between the hours of

10 am – 2 pm Tuesday – Fridays. We had a regular flow of clients coming into the hub, where they were able to talk through any challenges they were facing, and the team would sign post where appropriate look for opportunities to pray. To date, out of all the hundreds offered prayer, only one person has declined. Every client asked for feedback has reported an improvement in how they felt by the end of their visit. Our volunteer coordinator successfully managed the volunteers, who are from 7 different churches across Crawley, and all that they do on site plus managing the rest of the volunteers, ensuring everyone is safely recruited and supported in their role. We had a changeover of staff for this role in September 2022. From May we delivered chocolate bars to 1000 vulnerable migrants across 6 hotels every fortnight and in the summer, we started ‘Thursday football’ offering vulnerable migrants from three of the hotels a chance to play football on a weekly basis. We partnered with Crawley community Transport who provided transport. Both of these initiatives proved very popular and with funding support we were able to run it until the end of the year. Love Your Neighbour has also supported the Ukrainian refugees by welcoming them to the listening & signposting hub, providing practical support and holding one off event including strawberry picking and a summer garden party. Throughout the year Love Your Neighbour continued to provide a shopping service for those who were vulnerable and do prescription deliveries and offer phone friends and face to face befriending.

In November Ceri Turner joined the LYN Crawley team as Social Action Manager, she has a real heart for refugees in particular, especially following her experience as a host for a Ukrainian family. Ceri is liaising with the private and public sector to seek funding opportunities for LYN Crawley to improve the sustainability of the organisation. We have seen a strong core group of volunteers grow throughout 2022. However, with the restrictions that the pandemic brought becoming a thing of the past, we have noticed that many of our volunteers are no longer able to volunteer as before. We hosted termly Vision Days during 2022, where we prayed and worshipped and visioned together, our different ministries, keeping our network of 26 churches together updated. We also had termly Unity services, the first on Good Friday in the town centre Queens Square, to which well over 400 people gathered with many passers-by stopping to join in or watch. Our second was after a fund-raising Gatwick Run and our third was our Unity carols in our local shopping centre which attracted many passers-by who joined in with singing carols. We were thrilled to receive a Love Cities grant which saw us through 2022. We used this money to support all existing ministries (Chaplaincy, food provision including to the local food bank, the Easter Team, and to refugees in local hotels, Christians Against Poverty, in house listening and signposting

service, refugee football). Running alongside this was a 7-month Accelerator programme which a team of 3 of us attended, teaching us how to run a successful LYN hub. Completing this course and having stewarded the grant well we were given access to further funding and look forward to receiving confirmation of these new funds in 2023.

We ended the year on a highlight...our 3rd Love Christmas campaign where, with the help of nearly 90 volunteers, we shopped, packed and delivered 1500 bags of kindness to people in the community. Every bag contained delicious food, gifts, a Christmas cracker, a stamped Christmas card for them to send in the post and an Alpha Why Christmas? Booklet. Love Christmas is such a blessing for all involved and is gaining momentum each year! We thank God for all His provision throughout 2022, in so many ways, and to be able to have the opportunity to bless our community and for everyone we encounter to feel seen, heard and loved.

Churchwardens’ Report This year saw a number of significant projects carried out to improve St Johns Church Hall. The outside area around the Hall, which is open to the public and receives significant footfall, was laid with tarmac. This replaced paving slabs which were very uneven and presented a trip hazard. The Church flat which is part of the Church Hall building was vacated by the existing tenant. The opportunity was taken to completely refurbish the space, removing the kitchen and bathroom to create more meeting rooms for use by the Church activities such as Youth and Alpha. It also allowed us to provide our priest with an office where he can work and meet with parishioners. Work continues on the garden area outside the Church Hall which is currently being remodelled to provide a more pleasant and usable outside area for Church activities. It is expected that this will be completed in 2023. Within St Johns Church itself work has continued to maintain the fabric of the building. In particular a Steeplejack was contracted to remove a buddleia which was growing out of the side of the Bell Tower. Within the Churchyard, a dedicated group of volunteers has continued to work tirelessly to keep the area looking at its best including the restoration of many gravestones which had been vandalised in previous years.

Bell Ringer’s Report 1. Membership. At the start of 2020 there were 9 members as follows: - Roger Clarke (Captain) Iain Davey (Secretary/Tower Correspondent) Nicholas Barrett (Vice captain) Margaret McGinn (Treasurer) Terence McGinn (Steeple Keeper) Angela Barrett Trevor Cowburn Christine Cowell Kye Leaver There is currently one junior member, Robert Abbot. Currently however he is not registered with the Sussex County Association. Inactive member. 18 APCM 11th MAY 2023 Elizabeth Moore, although a registered Balcombe ringer, continues to practice with the group and rings

regularly for Sunday services. Her continued support is very much appreciated. There were attempts at recruitment during the period. Although these looked quite promising in the initial stages they eventually petered out and no new members were elected.

Safeguarding Report is at the heart of our shared life here at Church Crawley, speaking directly to our key value of 'home', a welcoming place where everyone is seen, heard and loved a place of both comfort and challenge. Our vision to ‘Love Jesus, Love Church, Love people and Love Crawley’ draws a wide range of believers and visitors to worship on Sundays and throughout the week, and through activities from Huddle small groups that meet in homes, kids and youth clubs, Alpha, cafes and sports. It is imperative to us that our spaces and volunteers are safe for everyone, and that our systems and processes enable this. Throughout the year we report: • 4 incidents that were followed up by the Parish Safeguarding Officer and Vicar. • 1 ongoing attendance agreement renewed. • 5 referrals to Children’s services • 1 attendance agreement written up but not signed resulting in no further attendance.

We were pleased to welcome Tom Jordan onto the safeguarding team which works collaboratively across the family of churches, specifically to oversee safeguarding at St Richard’s, Three Bridges. Tom brings a high level of knowledge, experience and wisdom from a background in social work and social housing charities. After initial dip samples across the volunteer teams, we are now ensuring and following up specific teams with focus on completing C0 and C1 training and obtaining references where necessary. Weekend clinics with our safer recruitment administrator have helped individuals to access and complete these processes and have proved incredibly helpful and appreciated.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

During 2022 total overall fund reserves reduced by £29,632. This was made up of a reduction in unrestricted funds of £51,518 offset by an increase in restricted and endowment funds of £21,886. Although the reduction in unrestricted funds for 2022 was lower than 2021, the continued decline warrants corrective action and plans have been initiated during 2023 to reverse this. Action is particularly necessary as the closing unrestricted fund reserves at December 2022 of £101,511 is only slightly above our minimum reserves policy of three times monthly salary costs. The reserves policy is being reviewed in 2023 as this is generally considered as too low by the PCC.

However, no funds are in deficit and the trustees have no uncertainty about the charity as a going concern. The unrestricted reserves are increasing in 2023 and there has been no post balance sheet event requiring comment.

STATEMENT OF PCC MEMBER’S RESPONSIBILITIES

The PCC members are responsible for preparing the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard FRS102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland’. Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the PCC members to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing accounts giving a true and fair view, the PCC members should follow best practice and:

None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the charity and
where any potential conflict of interest may arise ensure that it is appropriately managed.
Select suitable accounting policies and the apply them
consistently
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of
recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the accounts
Prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is
inappropriate to presume the charity will continue in operation

The PCC members are responsible for keeping accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ascertain the financial position of the Charity, and which enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the provisions of the trust deed.

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF CRAWLEY, ST JOHN THE BAPTIST, MEMBERS ANNUAL REPORT

Typed Signature on behalf of the Trustees: Rev'd Stephen Burston

Rev’d Stephen Burston (Chair) Date 30th October 2023

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of St John the Baptist Church for the year ended 31[st] December 202 2 .

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Church are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a licensed member of the Association of Accounting Technicians and an associate of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners.

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

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts did 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.

Signed: SEC Date: 31[st] October 202 3

Section C	Notes to the accounts (cont)
Note 2	Accounting policies
2.1 INCOME
Recognition of	These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the PCC becomes entitled to
income	the resources, and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Offsetting	There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or
	permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
Grants and	Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are
donations	met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP).
	In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the
	PCC has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the
	performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
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 PCC or have been met.
Government grants	The PCC has received no government grants in the reporting period.

Mission Giving with Where a grant or donation has conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output performance to be provided, the obligation is only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has conditions provided the specified service or output. There were no such grants or donations made during this reporting period. Mission Giving Where there are no conditions attaching to a grant or donation, a liability for the full funding payable without obligation is recognised once it is probable that the payment will be made and the amount of the performance grant can be measured reliably. conditions Redundancy cost The PCC made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. Deferred income No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. Creditors The PCC has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.

Provisions for A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the liabilities best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date Basic financial The PCC accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 11.7 FRS102 instruments SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS 102 SORP.

2.3 ASSETS

2.3 ASSETS
Consecrated land	In so far as consecrated and benefice property of any kind is excluded from the statutory definition of
and buildings and	'charity' by s.10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011 such assets are not capitalised in the financial
other church	statements. All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or benefice buildings is written off
property	to the statement of financial activities.
Other tangible fixed	These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are
assets for use by	valued at cost. Assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The
the PCC	periods used are:
	- Furniture and Fittings 5 Years
	- Office Equipment 5 Years
	- IT Equipment 3 Years
	- PA/AV Equipment & Musical Inst 3 Years
Investments	The PCC holds fixed asset investments only in cash deposit accounts. The value can therefore be
	reliably measured.
Debtors	Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at
	settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the PCC. Subsequently, they
	are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
Current asset	The PCC has cash on deposit with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes
investments	rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due.
Leased assets: the	Assets obtained under finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by
PCC as leasee	finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Finance leases
	are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the PCC.
	Obligations under such agreements are included in the creditors net of the finance charge allocated
	to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the Statement of
	financial activities so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation in each
	period.

Note 11 Fair value of assets and liabilities

The PCC's exposure to credit risk (the risk of incurring loss due to a debtor not paying what is owed) is small as the debtors usually have a long-standing association with the PCC and/or are local authorities. The PCC monitors the expected cashflow over future months, taking a conservative view of expected income in order to minmise the liquidity risk (the risk of not being able to meet short term financial demands). The PCC has only investments held in cash, there is no exposure to market risk (the risk that the value of an investment will fall due to changes in the market).
