The PCC members present their report and accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2024 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
4
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 volunteers 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, Love People 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
St John’s Crawley began an apostolic partnership in 2017 with the creation of a Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB) Resource Church sent from St Peter’s Brighton under the leadership of Steve and Liz Burston. In 2021, they then joined a further apostolic partnership with St Peter’s West Green, and St Richard’s Three Bridges and Northgate, to form an informal Church identity of Church Crawley. This was part of a Church Commissioners funding initiative called the Strategic Development Fund (SDF) that seeks to grow a Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB) Network Church in the centre of Crawley. Now, the three churches remain three separate parishes, but St John the Baptist is the main resource hub that is to lead and help bring new life and initiative to the other two smaller Churches. This
5
partnership has led to grant funding for St Peter’s so that the church can be revitalised and grow.
The vision for all three parishes is to play their part in the HTB vision of the evangelisation of the nations, the revitalisation of the Church and the transformation of society. This is distilled for Church Crawley as Loving Jesus, Loving Church, Loving People, and Loving Crawley.
It must be noted that this report is in the background of significant challenges for the Church of England. Serving on General Synod has been both enlightening and, at times, profoundly testing. The resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury following the critical Makin Report has left our Church deeply divided, especially on issues surrounding sexuality and marriage. Moreover, longstanding trends show a decline in church attendance, with the average Anglican Sunday service across the UK attracting just 34 people.
However, there are signs of hope amid these trials. This year has been a positive one with St John's growing in number, in depth, and outreach. So far to date over 150 adults have been baptised. Average attendance across the 3 services on Sunday is now regularly over 300, with vibrant Kids and Youth Work. We have pressed into discipleship, revival, and encountering Jesus. We have seen significant events across the year with many hundreds coming through the door for outreach, community, and worship. Over 600 continue to attend the Remembrance Service. We are a Church that is blessed with a generous, active, and young congregation. As we see a quiet revival amongst the young generation, such things as Awaken 50, character school, and Home Groups mean that those coming to faith in Alpha are discipled well.
Electoral Roll Report
The number of people on the Electoral Roll at the start of the year in January 2024 was 226. At the close of December 2024, the Electoral Roll figure stood at 210.
Alpha
In July 2024, we employed Jordan Crabtree as a Community pastor, and part of his role was to lead Alpha. In 2024, 137 people completed Alpha this year, which is a 24.5% increase from 2023. We have also seen just over 30 people baptised after completing Alpha this year.

Social Mission
Love Your Neighbour is our social mission piece as churches together across Crawley, with 28 churches being informed and invited to engage with social mission in our community, namely: Listening & Signposting hub, Good Friday Unity service and Love Christmas, all of which have been supported financially through grants received from LYN centrally, with the generosity, mainly from Church Crawley which ‘holds’ LYN, and some other local churches. The hub works closely with the Easter Team foodbank.
Love Christmas saw around 90 volunteers from across the churches coming out of the woodwork with 8 churches engaged, delivering a total of 755 boxes of kindness. So inspired we were, that Love Easter followed with 200 bundles of Easter joy delivered to individuals, homeless, YMCA and the police.
Despite saying farewell to Helen in the summer, the Veterans Breakfast Club continued to have a steady flow of 25-30 veterans coming for community and a hot breakfast every Monday morning. We have seen some veterans coming to church on a Sunday, two did the Alpha course and several showed interest. We continue to pray for opportunities to share the light of Christ.
Turning Point continued to offer a warm welcome to all members of the Crawley public, offering a mixture of teas, coffees, cakes and scones, all kindly made and donated by the volunteer team headed by Anne.
2024 was another busy year for the Listening and Guidance Service , with many referrals from Clinicians and Social Prescribers. Jane and Phil continued to see patients at the Northgate surgery, in cafés (when relevant), and in patients’ homes, seeing an average of thirty-two patients per month. Referrals continued to be mainly related to anxiety, depression/low mood, relationship issues, bereavement and the impact of ill health. Their feedback surveys were very positive and all those who fed back would recommend the service.
Sadly, in November 2024, due to Primary Care budget cuts the team were faced with the daunting task of closing the service early in 2025, but they trusted that God had it in hand.

Asylum seeker football predominantly served one hotel, the Holiday Inn on Haslett Avenue, averaging around 10 to 12 players per week, and the volunteer team has been great in helping out. In terms of the guys that come along, it has been great to see one of the asylum seekers get plugged in to the church (credit to Stuart at the LYN hub as well for taking him under his wing). Going forward Ryan will be stepping down at the end of May which coincides with the last session under the current funding from the FA. Both the FA and LYN are keen for it to continue and conversations are ongoing as to how that can happen. The Recovery Course in 2024 saw three 15 week courses completed. The first was a real success in terms of bringing new people into the church by promoting through LYN & flyers & posters around Crawley. Averaging about 18 guests, over We had three group leader volunteers & one hospitality & 4 in a supporting prayer WhatsApp group. Two successfully abstained from their addictions and one referred to detox/rehab. The second course started well as most came back wanting to continue in fellowship however we quickly realised the course works better in winter months & we didn’t give ourselves enough of a lead up time to promote so when the drop off started we couldn’t really arrest it. We did start with 14 but ended up with only 2 at the end. We did however, have one guest baptised & one referred to detox/rehab. The third course started very late in the year, the 6 strong prayer support group met for 6 weeks beforehand. A renewed promotion attempt also brought dividends and God provided. On the first night 19 attended and soup and bread were served which became hugely popular. One was referred to detox/rehab. Being on a Sunday, there was a real sense of community and commonly 6-7 would attend the service afterwards. We look to launch another TRC in the autumn.
Finally, the two Hope Into Action houses, supported by a team of 6 befrienders lead by Mickey and Helen, continued to have it’s challenges and we have seen God move powerfully. It has been a challenge to get a young family engaged but Ruthli has been relentless in her attempts to connect. The men’s house saw two tenants move on successfully, one of them being an Iranian member of our church who was reunited with his family after 3 years.
The remaining tenant continues to come to church and volunteers on the Coffee cart when able. Liz became the Empowerment Worker for 8 months but due to other more pressing commitments, had to step down, but Richard e in early 2025. We would value prayers for new tenants and more engagement with the family house.

Focus 2024
Focus 2024 was a fantastic time away as a Church Family.
Worshiping God, Encountering His presence and sharing great times with each other.
74 adults plus 20 signed up to Focus team, 13 youth and 13 children attended with Church Crawley. Sixteen people came on full bursary tickets provided by CRT at a total value of £2,500.
All generations were represented within our campsite, with a wide range of demographics and journeys of faith. It was an amazing picture of the family we have here at Church Crawley. There were many great stories that came out of our time away as people engaged with the teaching and worship as well as the times gathered at our home pitch.
Fabric Report
In November 2024, the Church Hall Garden was cleared, levelled, and re-turfed. A grant was applied for and awarded by the Benefact Trust last year, which contributed to the funding of the garden overhaul project.
The project to enhance the exterior lighting of the Church was scaled back due to prohibitively high costs. As a result, the available funds will be used to increase the lighting levels in the church car park, rather than illuminating the entire building. It was determined that enhancing the safety and security of individuals navigating the Church grounds would be more beneficial. To address this, it is anticipated that additional lamp posts will be installed in the coming months, subject to approval from both Crawley Council and the Chichester Diocese (DAC).
There continued to be general wear and tear on a variety of items located in the Church and hall prompting repairs and replacements as needed. The waste infrastructure remained problematic, requiring drain specialists to unblock the Church and Hall toilets on a couple of occasions. In April 2025, a larger-scale fix was implemented to some of the waste pipes, which should help resolve this ongoing issue.
9
During July 2024, plans to lease space in St John’s House were abandoned due to prolonged Water Neutrality issues with the Council, which were part of the 'change of use' process for the building. As a result, the landlord informed us that he could no longer wait for us to get the necessary approvals from the Council.
In September 2024 the room above the hall kitchen was re-painted and new furniture purchased to refresh the look and feel of the room, which is used for Character School and various meetings.
Our continued thanks to the wide range of volunteers who have assisted with Church & Hall maintenance over the past year, from carpet cleaning and painting to garden upkeep and general DIY.
Safeguarding Report
Creating a space where people feel safe, heard, respected, and loved, remains a priority for Church Crawley and safeguarding practice, and awareness remains a key component to ensuring this is achieved. Not only does this apply to the Sunday services, but also the various ministries through the week, taking place in the community and within people’s homes.
In May 2024 the Parish had its SPQ (safeguarding) audit with each of the three churches passing. The auditor from the Diocese provided very positive feedback, and asked that we help mentor other, smaller churches, to prepare for their SQP audits. An action from the SQP was to include all activity risk assessments within the safeguarding policy, to allow for simplified access and referencing. This was completed. Across the diocese, a new audit platform is being introduced called Dashboard. We were asked to take part in a pilot run of Dashboard in early 2025. The SQP included Safer Recruitment and evidenced that we are consistently recruiting new volunteers using thorough and robust processes, in line with guidance from the Diocese.
Every 6 weeks, meetings are held between the operations team and the safeguarding deputy/officers from the three churches. This has allowed for clear communication regarding safeguarding processes and safer recruitment. They also provide an opportunity to discuss safeguarding concerns and ensure there is consistency in our approach across the parish.
10
In the first quarter of 2024, funding was agreed to for MyConcern software. This software, designed specifically for the reporting and recording of safeguarding concerns, has helped in being able to track individual concerns, and improved accountability and ownership of actions and tasks. Between January and December 2024 there were 34 safeguarding referrals made to the Safeguarding team. There have been several concerns about adult mental health, domestic violence, drug and alcohol use, and homelessness. Outreach through the Love Your Neighbour Hub means the church has contact with some of the most vulnerable people in the community, and this has been a source of several referrals over the past year. Of the 34 referrals, 12 were referred to the Diocese Safeguarding Team. There were two referrals made to Adult Social Services, and although there was much liaison with Children’s Services, there were no new referrals made to Children’s Services by the Church. At the end of 2024 two men were attending the church who were registered offenders. Their attendance is closely monitored and supported under Attendance Agreements.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
During 2024, overall reserves increased by £70,439. Deficits on the CSF Crawley Brunch Club Fund and Love Your Neighbour and Love Cities funds were brought to £nil from unrestricted funds at year end. A Safer Streets fund was set up during the year to provide street lighting and CCTV cameras to the churchyard and Church Walk for public safety.
Expenditure marginally decreased from £617,305 to £615,458 (-0.3%), whereas income increased by £104,853 (18.1%). Of this, £67k was an increase in SDF grants and £20k increased regular giving. Note that the SDF grant income is claimed in arrears against an equivalent expenditure and will not therefore generate a surplus overall. A significant proportion of income is restricted, just over 40%.
The Trustees, having considered the 2024 results and projections for 2025 and beyond, have identified no doubts around the charity continuing as a going concern. There are also no post-balance sheet events to note.

Section C Notes to the accounts
Note 1 Basis of preparation
1.1 Basis of accounting
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) and with the Charities Act 2011.
The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St John the Baptist Crawley (hereinafter referred to as "St John's Crawley") constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
1.2 Going concern

2.1 INCOME
Recognition of income These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: • the charity becomes entitled to the resources; • it is probable that the trustees will receive the resources; • 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 donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity 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 charity or have been met.
Government grants The charity has received no government grants in the reporting period Tax reclaims on Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount donations and gifts recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Volunteer help The charity benefits from the dedicated work of a great number of volunteers. In accordance with FRS102 and the Charities SORP, the economic contribution of volunteers is not recognised in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. Income from interest, This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. royalties and dividends
2.2 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES
Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Mission Giving with Where the charity gives a grant or donation with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or performance conditions output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. There were no such grants or donations made during this reporting period. Mission Giving payable Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant or donation, a liability for the full funding obligation is without performance recognised once it is probable that the payment will be made and the amount of the grant can be measured conditions reliably. Redundancy cost There were no redundancies in the current year. Deferred income Deferred Income consists of resources received by a charity that do not meet the criteria for recognition as income in the statement of financial activities (SoFA) because entitlement to the income does not exist at the balance sheet date. Deferred income is not recognised in the SoFA until the charity is entitled to the income. Instead, deferred income is disclosed as a liability in the balance sheet. The PCC has within its Balance Sheet only deposits received towards weddings to be carried out in future periods. Creditors The PCC has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts Provisions for liabilities A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the 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 10.7 FRS102 SORP. instruments Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.

2.3 ASSETS Consecrated land and In so far as consecrated and benefice property of any kind is excluded from the statutory definition of 'charity' buildings and other by s.10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011 such assets are not capitalised in the financial statements. All church property expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or benefice buildings is written off to the statement of financial activities.
Tangible fixed assets for These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are valued at use by the PCC cost. Assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The periods used are: - Furniture and Fittings 5 years - Office Equipment 5 years - IT Equipment 3 years - PA/AV Equipment and Musical Instruments 3 years - Vehicles 3 years Heritage assets The PCC holds no heritage assets.
Heritage assets The PCC holds no heritage assets. 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 charity. 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 rather investments than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due.
Leased assets: the PCC Assets obtained under finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease as Lessee 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 12 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 of future months, taking a conservative view of expected income in order to minimise 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).
