Structure, governance and management
The Parish of Wrotham is part of The United Benefice of Ightham and Wrotham .
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 eight times during the year, including an Extraordinary Meeting to approve the 2022 accounts and appoint a foundation governor in April, and another after the APCM to appoint the treasurer, the vice chair and the standing committee. The January 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.

ST GEORGE’S CHURCH, WROTHAM, ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2023
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.
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 APCM took place in Church on 14 May 2023, attended by 20 parishioners and the Associate Rector who chaired the meeting. There were 65 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.
The United Benefice of Ightham and Wrotham
After the united benefice of Ightham and Wrotham was formed on Sunday 29th May 2022, the year of 2023 was marked by consolidating and building on the relationship between the two parishes, which still remain as separate parishes, each with their own PCC, although united under one incumbent.
The Revd Canon Tim Hatwell became the first incumbent of the benefice, and the then Rector of Wrotham, the Revd Edward Wright, became the Assistant Curate of the benefice. This meant that there were 2 ordained clergy serving in the benefice. However, the problem with this was that there was no incentive for the two parishes to work together with just one incumbent, as was due to happen when both Tim Hatwell and Edward Wright were due to retire.
Following consultation between Tim Hatwell, Edward Wright and the PCCs of Wrotham and Ightham, it was agreed to ask the bishop, on the basis of being of need for the benefice, to give a 12 month licence extension to Tim’s ministry as Rector of the benefice (beyond his 70th birthday which was in August 2023) to 10th August 2024. Edward would still retire at the end of September 2023, which would enable Tim Hatwell to help both parishes to form a working relationship of the 2 parishes with 1 minister, and to help them prepare for the time of vacancy and a new incumbent of the benefice, hopefully in 2025.
Since 1st October 2023 therefore, Tim Hatwell has been the sole ordained minister serving the benefice and has been working with both parishes to develop the working relationship between the parishes. This appears to be working well.
In March 2023, after due process, the Benefice appointed and employed Mrs Jane Woodrow-Clark as part-time parish administrator of the parishes. Jane has fitted very well into the life and ministry of both parishes, and has very ably taken the administrative load off the Rector. The PCC are very pleased with all that Jane has managed to do and achieve since March, and look forward to this continuing into the future with the new incumbent.
Both PCCs of Ightham and Wrotham see the rural nature and characteristics of their communities and churches as continuing to be of great importance, and believe these features need to be retained to safeguard the flourishing of the parishes into the future. We believe that by becoming a united benefice of approximately 4,100 people, there is much more justification in providing a single incumbent, as well as enriching and enhancing both parishes.

ST GEORGE’S CHURCH, WROTHAM, ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2023
Joining as a united benefice has given the opportunity for shared ministry, worship and working together in mission and evangelism. The PCCs are extremely grateful for the two Licensed Lay Leaders (Michelle Lawson as Reader and John Webster as LLM) who are now faithfully serving the Parish of Wrotham as well as the Parish of Ightham. They lead and preach at services in both churches.
Achievements and Performance
Worship & prayer
Following the joining of Ightham and Wrotham as a United Benefice, and the retirement of the Associate Rector, the PCC has had to revise the pattern of services to complement those of Ightham. They have aimed to provide 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. The Healing Prayer group continues to offer prayers at the end of the service on the first Sunday of the month. We are very grateful to Canon Tim Hatwell and the ministry team at Ightham for all their support.
The weekly 10.30 am services have continued to be live streamed via zoom, although the take up of this is small. United services with Ightham have been held on fifth Sundays. Parishioners have been encouraged to attend different services at both St George’s and St Peter’s.
Major Festivals and special occasions were celebrated. Easter was marked with a Tenebrae Supper followed by communion on Maundy Thursday, a morning Service of Reflection and an evening performance of Stainer’s Crucifixion on Good Friday, and Breakfast Church with an Easter Egg Hunt followed by a Celebration of Holy Communion on Easter Sunday. The coronation of King Charles III on 6[th] May was marked by peals rung by the bellringers, and at the main Service on Sunday 7[th] May, followed by a Street Party in the High Street. Rev Edward Wright’s retirement was marked at the end of September by a holy communion service in the morning and an afternoon service and reception to celebrate his lifelong ministry.
Harvest Festival was celebrated with Holy Communion on 1[st] October, and a joint Harvest Supper with Ightham took place on 7[th] October at St. Peter’s. Remembrance Sunday was marked by a main service around the War Memorial, with children from St George’s Primary School and members of the Wrotham Cadets in attendance. A Carol Service by Candlelight was held on 17[th] December; the Crib Service on 24[th] December was followed by Carols in the Square, with Christmas Eve Communion at 11.00pm and a Family Communion on Christmas Day.
In person and online Lent Courses were run by the Benefice using the BRF Book for Lent 2022: Sharing the Easter Story . The fortnightly Bible Study groups have continued in person on a Monday evening and via zoom on a Friday morning. Two parishioners attended the Hearing God’s Word course, with one continuing to complete the Speaking God’s Word course and obtaining the Bishop’s permission to speak occasionally, enabling their leadership of Breakfast Church once a month.
The Church is open from 9am to 2:30pm for visitors to view our historic building and for private prayer.
Mission, Outreach and Pastoral Care
The weekly Tuesday Coffee Mornings have continued to be a great success, with the café area being full to capacity.
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 (re appointed by the Diocese on 24[th] June) and Matthew Bournat (appointed by the PCC on 26[th] April) sat on the Governing Body of the school. Sandy continues as the Safeguarding Governor, whilst Matt is the SEN Governor. The method of

ST GEORGE’S CHURCH, WROTHAM, ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2023
school governance has changed to the ‘Circle Model’ and full Governing Body meetings take place termly, six times a year. 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 uses the Church for festival services for Easter, Harvest, Remembrance and Christingle as well as celebratory services such as the Bible Presentation Services for the Reception and Year 5 pupils and the Year 6 Leavers’ service. They have continued coming into the Church once a month during term time for a Family Service conducted by one of the classes. Pupils also visit the Church to explore the building as part of the curriculum. The Headteacher attended the APCM to deliver a report on the school’s activities and achievements.
The Pastoral Visiting Team of the Associate Rector and one other 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.
The Church organised the Wrotham in Bloom event over the weekend of 24[th] /25[th] June. The net proceeds raised of £1,500 was split between the Wrotham Hardship Fund and the Access for the Disabled Fund. St George’s Church was the venue for a concert held as part of the Wrotham Music Festival over the August Bank Holiday weekend. Parishioners once again participated in the Ride and Stride event in September, raising £1,532 for the Friends of Kent Churches, 50% of which was retained for St George’s. In November, the Wrotham History Society gave a talk about the Church which was well received. The church ran a number of stalls at the Wrotham lights which brought many people into the Church.
In all, £3,665 was given to outside charitable and mission causes in the year.
The Church Building
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 PCC have accepted the tender from H Goodsell and Son, subject to sufficient monies being raised to meet the faculty requirement for a minimum of £50,000 to be irrevocably pledged. A number of funding applications have been made.
Improved CCTV has been installed. The escapement cog wheel on the clock was repaired earlier in the year. Parapet leadwork upstands to the flat roof over the Priest’s Room were completed in May to stop the roof leaking. The pump and pressure unit in the boiler and the external condenser pump have been replaced and the system is working well. A heater beneath the organ seat has been fitted and a new hand wash heater installed in the WC. The Parish Council paid for the repairs to the west boundary wall. In order to retain the rectory telephone number, it has been necessary for it to be transferred to the Ightham business account.
We are again indebted to Malcolm Wiffen for all his hard work and commitment to these projects, including considerable administration and project management.
We thank the Friends of St George’s Church for the grants totalling £13,936 made to maintain the fabric of the building. Our thanks to those parishioners who help with the day to day maintenance and cleaning of the Church.

ST GEORGE’S CHURCH, WROTHAM, ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2023
Financial Review
The accounts have been prepared on an accruals basis. There was a deficit of income over expenditure of £14,392 (2022 surplus of £10,081). The balance on the General Fund carried forward was £9,777 at 31 December 2023 (2022 £24,975).
The deficit sustained related to the continuing increased energy costs, funding 50% of the cost of an administrator for the Benefice and increased clergy and rectory costs. The same level of deficit cannot be sustained again this year. More general fund income, or reduced expenditure, must be achieved in 2024 and both are being kept under constant review, although it is noted that energy costs are reducing. The position has been explained to the congregation and users of the church, and a Stewardship Sunday has taken place. Grants and fundraising efforts will be needed to enable the Church to grow, and it is hoped that the funding for the access for the disabled will be obtained to enable this to go ahead. This will enable those with mobility issues to access the Church for services and community events.
Reserves Policy
The policy is to hold general reserves equivalent to three months’ running costs, which is in the region of £20,000. This objective was not 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 fewer people physically attending, and given the age profile of the congregation;
-
A regular need for major repairs to our ancient listed building;
-
Obtaining funding to make the building suitable for modern purposes, including such matters as access for the disabled, purchase and use in services of equipment for enhancing 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 2023
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 2023.
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 2023
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.
