Structureg governance and management Structure The PCC 15 a corporate body estsblished by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC was registered as a Charity in England with the Charity Commi55ion on l O September 2018 under registered charity number 1179859. The appointment of PCC members is governed by and set out in the Church RepresentaLion Rules (2020. London= Church House Publishing). Committees The PCC met 8 times in 2020, which were sometimes held via zoom depending on lockdown restrictions at the time. and members shielding. An extraordinary meeting took place on the 28 July at which the PCC made the decision to close Noah's Ark Preschool. The Reverend Andrea Leonard and Trevor Wilson, Church Warden, conducted the meetings with Noah's Ark Staff to manage the closure. No other sub committees or management meetings took place during 2020. Safeguarding The PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have regard to House of Bishops guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults). The PCC follows the Diocese of Rochester's safeguarding procedures and policies, and has been worknng to ensure that these are embedded in the lrfe of the church, including Noah's Ark pre-school. In August 2020 Angel O'Nyon took over from Esther Cook as the Safeguarding Officer for Christ Church. Objectives and activities Aims and objectives The primary object ofthe PCC is the promotion of the Gospel ofour Lordjesus Christaccording to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The PCC is to co-operate with the minister in promoung to the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, eyangelistic, social and ecumenical. Church life This past year has been extrnordinary. Because of the various lockdowns starting on the 23 of March. the church has only been open for 9.IX) services of holy communion on limited occasions when there was no lockdowns 2nd the local situation allowed. The l 0.30 service of worship has been livestreamed via Facebook each weel as the service of communion was also when there vras full lockdown The church receiyed dispensations from the Bishop of Rochester to suspend services when necessary. l other church life and outreach has not been possibl& except for Andrea speaking at the Luton's School Harvest Service via a recorded message. Oasis and Pop Up café have also been suspended from March. At an extraordinary PCC meeting in July, it VAS decided to close down Noah's Ark Preschool. Trevor continues to help at the Salvation Army in Chatham supporting the homeless, and with One Big Family.
We used the money we were given by Rochester Diocese for Make Lunch to purchase 'bags of Hope,, emergency supplies for needy families in the parish in times of crisis. Often the requests would come via Luton School a5 Andrea has good contscts there. Achievements and performance As a community we have survived. supported one another in the best ways possible. but look forward to being able to meer again in the near future for fellowship and worship. Sung worship has especially been missed. We are very blessed to not have lost any members to coyid. Gemma Evans (New Wine Intern) had to return to live in her family home just before the start of lockdown in March. Church Attendance There are currently 29 people on the electoral roll. Church attendance was drastically reduced due to Covid. Occasional offices In 2020. Christ Church conducted 3 (4.) baptisms. one child and two adults. During the course of the year, we took 4 (6) funerals in the church building. Andrea conducted 14 funerals in total for people in the parish. F bric e ui minist and other ex These will be found in the Financial Re men enditure r to follow. Public Benefit In this repor[ the PCC has profiled aspecrs of church life that would normally take place, meetings and services of wider public benefit. and occasional offices. In so doing the PCC sees itself as meeting the criteria of 'Public Benefit" for registered charities through the activities listed. Financial Review Our financial position at the end of 2020 vlas very vulnerable. Due to there be no open plate offerings for m05t of the year. and no hall bookings. the reserves are much reduced. Diocesan Parish Share remains the same in 2020 as in 2019- £11.594 plus £1.816 diocese share of fees. Noah's Ark Redundancy costs depleted all the available cash assets of the Pre-school and church funds had to cover the shortfall as can be seen on the church accounts. Reserves Policy The PCC continued its policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assers {"the free reserves") held by them aims to be between one and two month5 of the resources expended. The reserves are regul2r4y reviewed by the treasurer and discussed 2t the PCC from time to time. In the event of a significant drop in funding. the PCC would consider how the funding can be replaced or activities changed, and may arrange for an appeal to be made to the congregation.
At the end of December 2020, the unrestricted free reserves amounted to £19.884. (2019: £27,174). Approved by the PCC on 14th June 2021 and signed on their behalf by Reverend Andrea Leonard, Priest In Charge.
