Structure, governance and management
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Powers Measure. PCC members are elected under the provisions of the Church Representation Rules. Members of the PCC are either appointed ex officio or elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) from Church attendees registered on the Electoral Roll.
The PCC was registered as a charity with the Charity Commission on 10[th] April 2018.
The full name of the charity is The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Wrotham, but it is generally known as St. George’s Church, Wrotham, or as St. George’s PCC, Wrotham.
The full PCC met seven times during the year, including an Extraordinary Meeting after the APCM to appoint the treasurer, co-opt two members to the PCC and appoint a secretary. The January, March and November meetings were held via zoom; otherwise they were held in person with the facility for zoom if required. The standing committee met between PCC meetings as necessary to prepare the agendas for the PCC meetings and discuss operational matters. The standing committee comprised the Rector, churchwardens and treasurer and two additional PCC members.
The PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, which sets out the House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.
ST GEORGE’S CHURCH, WROTHAM, ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2022
The incumbent and two members of the PCC sit on the Deanery Synod, which allows a connection to be maintained with the wider structures of the Anglican Church.
The United Benefice of Ightham and Wrotham was formally celebrated at a service on 29.05.22 led by the Right Reverend Simon Burton-Jones, Bishop of Tonbridge, and the Venerable Sharon Copestake, Archdeacon of Tonbridge.
From that date, the Rector of the United benefice is Tim Hatwell, with Edward Wright being the Associate Rector. When they retire in 2023 there will in due course be one rector appointed for the two parishes; the rectory will be in Wrotham, with the church office being in Ightham.
The APCM took place in Church on 15 May 2022, attended by 26 in the Church and 5 on Zoom. There were 74 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll.
Objectives and Activities
St George’s PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the rector and associate rector to continue promoting, in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social, and ecumenical. It also has responsibility for the maintenance of the Church.
The PCC has considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.
Achievements and Performance
Worship & prayer
Following the disruptions brought about by the Covid pandemic, in 2022 the PCC has aimed to return to an adapted range of services for regular worship and for special occasions that offer as much opportunity as possible for those in the parish and beyond to participate in ways that relate to varying spiritual experience and levels of faith.
We have continued to offer live streaming of the weekly 10.30 am services via zoom, although the take up of this has been small. United services with Ightham have been held on 5[th] Sundays.
Major Festivals and special occasions were celebrated. Easter was marked with a Passover Meal on Maundy Thursday, the making of the Easter Garden and a Service of Reflection on Good Friday, and Breakfast Church on Easter Day, with an Egg Hunt, followed by a Celebration of Holy Communion. For the Diamond Jubilee in June there was a Jubilee Service and a Beacon behind the church. Commemoration services on the death of Queen Elizabeth were held on 9[th] and 11[th] September and arrangements made for floral tributes, a book of Condolence and the lighting of candles.
A joint Harvest Supper with Ightham took place on 1[st] October at St. George’s, and Harvest Festival was celebrated next day. On Remembrance Sunday we again had a short Holy Communion service in church followed by the main service around the War Memorial. In December, the Carol Service with Candlelight was on 18[th] , the Christingle and Crib Service, followed by Carols in the Square on the 24th, with Christmas Eve Communion at 11.00pm and an All-Age Celebration Communion on the 25[th] .
In person and on-line Lent Courses were run, and two of the introductory courses to the Christian Faith called ‘Hope Explored’ also took place, one on-line and one in person. The in person Lent course group went on meeting as a fortnightly Bible Study Group through the year. The fortnightly Friday morning Bible Study Group also continued.
At the end of March, after consideration and discussion at three of its meetings, the PCC passed a resolution to apply to the Bishop for permission for Children to be admitted to Holy Communion. Permission was received in July. The course ‘Children and Holy Communion’ was used to provide the
ST GEORGE’S CHURCH, WROTHAM, ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2022
teaching material at Breakfast Church over six weeks. So far, we have only received one request for Communion to be shared; a course is planned at the school for years 5 and 6.
In May a proposal to form a Healing Prayer Group was presented to the PCC and received approval. Prayer may be offered in person or via zoom. In particular, later in the year the practice of offering prayer at the end of the service once a month was started.
With the effects of the Covid pandemic receding, it is now clear that numbers in the 10.30am services are sadly less than they were before the outbreak. The figure for our worshipping community stood at 78 in 2022. Most of these attend Church in person at some point, with only few accessing the services by Zoom.
Mission, Outreach and Pastoral Care
Having been fully re-established near the start of the year, the weekly Tuesday Coffee Mornings have seen increased attendances in 2022.
Links with the local Church of England Primary School have continued, enabling the Church to have significant input into the life of the school. The Rector, Sandy Chapman and Sue Smith (resigned in December) sat on the Governing Body of the school; Sandy chairs both the Safeguarding and the Vision and Worship Committees as well as being the Safeguarding Governor, whilst Sue was the RE Governor. Full Governing Body meetings as well as Committee meetings have taken place online. The Rector continues to deliver a Collective Worship most weeks to the whole school and once a month a small team of parishioners have kept up the ‘Open the Book’ sessions during Collective Worship. In addition, Church members have again contributed generously to the purchase of Bibles for each of the Year 5 Pupils.
The school has resumed coming into the Church once a month during term time for a Family Service conducted by one of the classes. In December a choir from the school participated in the finals of Schools Carol competition at the United Carol Service at Buckmore Park.
The Pastoral Visiting Team was reduced by two members during the year, leaving only the Associate Rector and one other. They have continued to provide pastoral care in the community, particularly where there is sickness or bereavement. With other church members who visit on a social basis, they have kept in touch with the members of the congregation with mobility issues. There has been a regular flow of food from the parish to the Foodbank run by The Church of the Good Shepherd in Borough Green. The Hardship Fund has been used to meet urgent need, and to apply a donation for five families at Christmastime.
On 24[th] April a Tea and Treasure hunt was organised in the churchyard as a social event particularly for Breakfast Church families and those who had had children baptised at the church. Numbers attending were rather disappointing.
Social and Fundraising activities taking place in the Church were organised throughout the year by the PCC, the Friends of St. George’s and the Wrotham Arts Festival Committee; the Arts Festival ran successfully over three days in May. The Friends of St George ran a quiz night in June, a plant sale in July and the Kent Police Male Voice Choir concert in October. The Church organised participation in the Ride and Stride event and a Spanish wine Tasting Evening in September and a Promises auction in November.
In all, £2,998 was given to outside charitable and mission causes in the year.
ST GEORGE’S CHURCH, WROTHAM, ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2022
The Church Building
The long-awaited broadband connection for the church became operational in January, and this has improved the capacity for the livestreaming of service, and for receiving signal within the church.
Planning for the provision of disabled access to the church continued, but progress has unfortunately been very slow due to delays in obtaining the necessary consents. The Diocesan Advisory Committee visited the church in July, and we were able to make them aware of the issues relating to the muchneeded access.
As required, the quinquennial inspection of the building was carried out by Thomas Ford and Partners on 29[th] March 2022. It was reported that since the last inspection, the Parish have continued to undertake regular maintenance and repair of the building. A copy of the report may be viewed by request. It contains the architect’s recommendations for items needing attention within the next 5 years.
The Church was advised by Wrotham Place that they would require to take back possession of the Church Room, which has been held at a peppercorn rent for many years. The room was cleared by the end of June 2022. This necessitated the relocation of the photocopier into the Vestry as well as the provision of some new storage cupboards at the back of the church.
New electric sockets were installed in the Vestry and the Flower room in August.
We are again indebted to Malcolm Wiffen for all his hard work and commitment to these projects, including the handling of the considerable administration and project management that is needed.
We appreciate the efforts of parishioners who have kept the church clean and properly sanitised.
Financial Review
The accounts have been prepared on an accruals basis. There was a surplus of income over expenditure of £10,081 (2021 deficit of £3,390). The balance on the General Fund carried forward was £24,975 at 31 December 2022 (2021 £19,230)
With the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions and a return to holding most of the usual services and events in the year these income sources increased. Grants for urgent building repairs totalling £9,320 were funded by the Friends of St George’s Church and grants were received from the Diocese totalling £6,728, so enabling a surplus rather than the expected deficit. With increased energy costs and the cost of an administrator for the Benefice a deficit is predicted for 2023.
Ways to increase general income will continue to be reviewed to enable the work of the Church to continue and develop. Grants and fundraising efforts will be needed to enable the Church to grow and it is hoped that the delays in obtaining consent for the access for the Disabled plan will be overcome in 2023.
Reserves Policy
The policy is to hold general reserves equivalent to three months’ running costs, which is in the region of £17,000. This objective was reached this year.
Management of risks and their mitigation
The PCC considers that the principal risks and uncertainties for the church in Wrotham are:
-
The requirement to find volunteers with the appropriate skills, time and commitment to support the church’s ministry;
-
The falling income with less numbers physically attending, and given the age profile of the congregation;
ST GEORGE’S CHURCH, WROTHAM, ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2022
-
A regular need for major repairs to our ancient listed building;
-
Further work to make the building suitable for modern purposes, including such matters as access for the disabled, purchase and use in services of equipment for streaming and communicating via the internet;

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST. GEORGE'S, WROTHAM FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
I report to the members of Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish (PCC) of St George, Wrotham, on the annual accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2022.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The PCC members (who are the trustees of the charity) are responsible for the preparation of the annual reports. They consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or
-
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records.
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

ST. GEORGE'S PCC, WROTHAM NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a Basis of accounting
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, the Church Accounting Regulations 2006, and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (“SORP”) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS102.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, on an accruals basis
The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible at law or which it is assessed to control. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their affiliation to another body, nor those which are informal gatherings of church members.
The PCC considers that there are no material uncertainties about the church's ability to continue as a going concern.
b Fund Accounting
Unrestricted Funds comprise assets that are not restricted in their use and are available for the general purposes of the PCC.
Designated Funds comprise assets set aside by the PCC out of unrestricted funds for specific future purposes or projects.
Restricted Funds are those whose objectives are restricted by the donor as to purpose and which have to be accounted for separately.
c Fixed Assets
Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by Section 10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011.
No value is placed on moveable church furnishings held by the Churchwardens in special trust for the PCC which require faculty for disposal, since the PCC considers these to be inalienable property and any such expenditure is written off in the year in which it was incurred.
d Income
Income is recognised when the PCC becomes legally entitled to the use of the resources; an inflow of economic benefit is probable; and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Incoming resources are accounted for gross without deducting any associated costs, which are shown separately in expenditure. Wedding and funeral fees collected on behalf of the Diocese are not included in income.
Donations are recognised only when received. Any Gift Aid associated with a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is accounted for within the same fund as the initial donation.
e Expenditure
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.
Mission and charitable giving is accounted for as expenditure when paid or when a legally binding commitment has been made.
