On 23 Feb, following the Music Night, C & V wrote: “Please convey our congratulations to all those involved in the Music Night last night. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole event. Wow!! What an evening.”
Membership of the PCC is determined under the Church Representation Rules and consists of certain ex-officio members (the clergy, the churchwardens and members of the Deanery, Diocesan or General Synods) and 12 members of the church who are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM). In 2020 a change to the way Deanery Synod representation is calculated resulted in this parish being asked for four representatives. Church members are warmly encouraged to stand for election to the PCC and we try to ensure a balance of skills and experience where possible.
The PCC is responsible for a wide range of matters affecting the parish, including compliance with health and safety; disability legislation and Safeguarding.
In their capacity as trustees, members of the PCC are responsible for the stewardship of funds and for the appropriate accounting and reporting of parish finances. The PCC works to ensure that each member of the committee is equipped to fulfil their role. Regular mailings from the diocese keep trustees up to date with developments and changes.
The PCC appointed Mr Joseph Padfield as Safeguarding Officer and co-opted him to serve on the PCC, where Safeguarding is a standing issue on the Agenda. Mr Padfield is responsible for ensuring that Disclosure and Barring Service checks are kept up to date for those who work with, or are responsible for work with, children and vulnerable adults as part of St Mary’s ministry. There have been no incidents reported to him during the year 2020.

The Standing Committee is a sub-committee of the PCC and has the power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings. The Standing Committee comprises: the incumbent, the church wardens, PCC secretary, PCC Treasurer and an elected PCC member.
Aim and Purposes
The primary objective of the PCC of East Preston with Kingston is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Vicar, the Rev’d Andrew Perry, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church - pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.
In March MW wrote: “Just to say what a blessing it is to sit quietly in church and pray undisturbed. To light a candle too is a joy, so thank you for making the church available to enjoy a quiet time of peace and prayer. Much appreciated.”
Risk assessment
The PCC confirms that the major risks to which the council has been exposed have been identified by a risk analysis exercise carried out by PCC members.
In April P wrote: “thank you for all the notices and information leaflets to help us through Easter without your physical guidance… with your help and much thought provoking work… Good Friday & Easter [were] very much in our hearts…”
Objectives
To enable, prosper and further the worship of Almighty God in East Preston & Kingston.
To seek to foster an environment where disciples can grow and flourish.
To increase the membership of the Church.
To co-operate with our ecumenical partners wherever possible. To serve our community in particular through the administration of the Occasional Offices of baptism, marriage and funeral rites;
pastoral care and evangelisation.
To promote fellowship, friendship and community through an active programme of social activities. To become an inclusive, welcoming, outward-looking, thankful community who create a safe space in which to get to know God, explore Christian spirituality and worship; to relate our lives as disciples to this faith and to celebrate God’s great gifts to us.
To care for the building of which we are temporary custodians; to maintain the fabric and to make sure it is best suited to
serving the mission of God in this parish.
To ensure that, in line with “charities for the advancement of religion” we have due regard to our public benefit guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which guidance is relevant.
To maintain positive links with businesses within the community of East Preston and Kingston, Infant and Junior Schools; Royal British Legion and Parish Council.
In March White Lodge Residential Home wrote: “just a little note of thanks for all your lovely drawings, letters and good wishes - it is so kind of you to think of us and to take the times to send them, it lifts our spirits and makes us smile…”
The year 2020 saw the global pandemic of COVID-19 affect our lives as individuals, as a local community, as a nation and as a world. A series of national lockdowns, instruction to “shield” and various restrictions aimed at limiting the spread of the disease led to new ways of communicating and worship with a reliance on social media and digital communication: this had a dramatic effect on activities during the year. (This included the postponement of the 2020 APCM until 18 October.)
Review of the year
The full PCC met 5 times during the year (twice in person; twice via e mail and post; once via Zoom) in addition to the APCM in October. PCC Meetings were very well attended. PCC Minutes were published (redacted where appropriate) on the website.

Activities
In Oct following the only wedding of the year (!) A & L wrote: “Thank you so much for conducting our unplugged wedding service in such a relaxed and intimate way. It was really lovely and was “very us”. Your understanding of this was appreciated by us and our guests”
Scattered throughout this report [in the grey boxes] are brief unsolicited testimonies of those who have had contact with the parish during the year which help to demonstrate public benefit. [These have been anonymised as much as possible.]
During 2020 the Parish conducted 1 wedding; 0 baptisms; 6 funerals in Church with another 9 funerals at the Crematorium; 17 sets of ashes were interred in the churchyard.
Kingston Parish Council made a grant to the Fantastic Gardeners to keep the churchyard looking neat and tidy, and during the year we benefitted from input from the Community Payback Scheme on Sunday mornings.
-
Due to lockdowns much worship this year was presented online. Weekly eucharists on Sunday were celebrated and broadcast from the homes of clergy; Morning Prayer & Compline were live-streamed on weekdays. Numbers following live-streamed services were often double those of “normal” Sundays (occasionally three times); numbers following the weekday offices varied between about 20 and 60. Stations of the Cross, a Lent course run by the Quigley’s and a course based on the Archbishop’s Lent Book all started, and were then stopped.
-
The church remained locked during lockdowns and books, paper etc were cleared out. Activities in the Spire Room ceased.
The Sunday Club continued to keep young people connected with the provision of imaginative activities delivered and interactive information e mailed. Congratulations and grateful thanks to Charis, Gloria, Carol & the team. Charis and Lucy Hornby attended the Bible Society’s “Open Book” training in February.
In Nov, during Lockdown 2 and in reaction to the on-line Remembrance Sunday mass, R wrote to Rev Emma: “Thank you for this morning’s service with the sensitive act of remembrance (and beautiful flowers). I have appreciated being able to follow many of the services via Facebook/ Vimeo and have often slipped into St. Mary’s for quiet prayer and reflection. For one who no longer holds a strong faith the church’s ministry speaks to my spirit and I am grateful. So thanks to all of you for your dedication and support.”
In February Mary Jeavons became St Mary’s Eco Champion and along with Rev Emma began to work through the registration process to become an Eco Church. As part of this the 'Show The Love' service in February encouraged people to consider how to make environmentally friendly changes to their lifestyles. (‘Share The Love' is an initiative by The Climate Coalition.) Ann Bird arranged for the church to become a collection point for the Terracycle recycling scheme, supporting a local charity, Aspens.
-
Lockdown put paid to our social calendar (including cancelling the Passion Play Sacred Spaces ), but we did manage to put on a very well attended and popular Music Night in February. A Shrove Tuesday pancake lunch and Quiz was possible; and a Christmas Zoom Quiz and raffle for a Christmas Hamper.
-
In ecumenical events: St Mary’s joined with Our Lady Star of the Sea for an ecumenical Epiphany Service in January. Also Rev Emma and Fr Andrew met with Denise Mitchell, Chair of Churches Together in Rustington to strengthen relationships between CTR and East Preston. Rev Emma was invited to speak at the CAMEO group at Littlehampton Baptist Church. St Mary's was well represented at the Day of Prayer service at Rustington URC Following the death of Fr David Rea at Our Lady Star of the Sea, Fr Stephen Ortiga arrived and met with Rev Emma & Fr Andrew, and is keen for the churches to work together. John & Charis Harbidge arrange a COVID-safe collection during Christian Aid Week.
-
In March, having assembled all the necessary information and put in place all the procedures asked of us, the parish completed the Simple Quality Protects (SQP) element of our Safeguarding. Rev Emma, Fr Andrew and Joe all undertook further regular Safeguarding training during the year. Tracey Hammond started working alongside Joe Padfield in preparation to take over as Safeguarding Officer when Joe is ordained and leaves the parish in 2021.
-

Fr Andrew and Rev Emma continue to attend (by Zoom) the monthly East Preston Business Breakfast to help communication and build networks within the village.
-
Following three Covid-related delays Rev Emma Ham-Riche was ordained priest by +Ruth Bushyager, Bishop of Horsham, in St Mary’s on 11 October 2020 with a limited congregation, but lots watching on the livestream.
-
Rev Emma continues to be a very hard working and creative curate, bringing energy, insights and spirituality to the parish in her many gifts and skills.
-
In November broadband was installed into St Mary’s church (using a legacy from Gill McAlpine) and livestream services from church became possible.
The 75th Anniversary of Victory in Europe was marked with an online reflection.
-
Rev Emma led prayers for Merchant Navy Day Rev Emma & Fr Andrew presided at very low-key Remembrance Sunday events in the parish.
-
“Families at 3” services were run on the first Sunday of the month in Autumn 2020 as an alternative to Sunday Club.
-
Donations for (alternatively) the Littlehampton Food Bank and the Family Support Work Food Bank were extremely generous, especially as the weather got colder between Harvest & Christmas.
In Dec, following the interment of her mum’s ashes, S wrote: “Thank you for such a nice service. As I tipped my Mum's Ashes into the hole, I felt a great relief that she was, at last, joined with my Dad. It was the last thing I was able to do for her.”
- Friends of St Mary’s managed to sell 3,000 Christmas Cards (of 2019’s Christmas Tree Festival) and made £897 profit.
For Advent/Christmas the parish offered: Nine Lessons and Carols as a broadcast; an Advent Windows Trail round the parish; DIY Take Away Christingle; and Midnight Mass in two sittings (the only service in the year for which booking was required)
-
Jacky Collett organised Christmas Greetings (in place of Christmas Cards) to raise funds for Education West Africa.
-
The Women’s Fellowship held a Christmas service in church and crafted stars which were hung in the churchyard for passersby to take home and decorate their trees.
-
Fr Andrew took part in the virtual East Preston Junior School Christmas Celebrations and as the East Preston Yarn Bombers struck and produced hundreds of Christmas-related figures in the village, Fr A was immortalised in wool!
Achievements and performance
Electoral Roll Report
At the start of 2020 the Electoral Roll stood at 110. Of these, 57% live in the parish, and 43% live outside the parish. Four members were removed due to death, one moved house, one was an administrative error (appearing twice!). The average weekly attendance combining both Sunday services (when in church) stood at 80-100 (usually this number increases at festivals and special occasions and includes both adults and children).
Fabric Report
The Fabric Committee of St Mary’s researched and discussed priority work as mentioned in the last Quinquennial Inspection. Chair of the Fabric Committee, Colin Crane writes:
Work on the Church Fabrics was curtailed greatly in 2020 due to the COVID 19 lockdown. One job that was completed in January before the lockdown was the treatment against Woodworm of two main beans in the nave.
Also it had been agreed that the monies received from Kingston Parish Council for the years 2019 & 2020 amounting to £700 and the money in the Church Flower Fund of £300 could be used to replace the old shed in the Churchyard used by the Flower Club. With the kind help of Jenny Bromfield assisted by Fr. Richard the old shed was demolished and a new one erected using help from the Littlehampton

Probation Service “ Payback Team”. Thanks go to Jenny and Fr. Richard for managing the project.
Colin Crane
The small group of volunteers known as “The Fantastic Gardeners” continue to oversee maintaining the churchyard in conjunction with Arun District Council who maintain cutting the grass, hedge and any tree work within the churchyard and family grave plots.
Health and Safety monitoring continues to be carried out with annual inspections to the boiler, fire extinguishers and fire blanket and organ.
A local company carried out essential works in cleaning out the gutters and removal of moss from the path at the west door entrance path.
Deanery Synod
Our parish remains part of Arundel & Bognor Deanery Synod, and our representatives are Lucy Hornby and Pauline McLelland. Lucy Hornby writes:
The Deanery Synod have met twice in 2020 via Zoom due to the pandemic. The first meeting was focused around Finance. We were presented with the 2021 budget and an explanation on the current situation that we were experiencing due to Covid 19 pandemic, the impact we were facing and possible disruption depending on length of it continuing. Parishes were strongly recommended to pay their full amount of parish share enabling to provide ministry in all 359 parishes and reach out into communities in Sussex. Parish ministry increased by 0.36% so a full time stipendiary priest would cost £74,300 in 2021. We were joined by The Archdeacon The Venerable Luke Irvine-Capel who thanked all clergy for going beyond their call of duty by developing new skills throughout the pandemic with Zoom meetings, live-streaming services for all to access from home.
The second meeting we welcomed the new Bishop of Horsham Rt Revd Ruth Bushyager who shared her journey from a young age to becoming a Bishop with a question and answer session afterwards. John Stirland chairperson of The Deanery Finance who presented a report on the financial position of the Deanery in 2020 and presented the pledges for Parish Share 2021 for approval.

Financial Review
Please refer to the accompanying accounts for more detail, but here is a summary:
-
1 The total receipts, and general unrestricted funds received, were £100,169 (2019: £143,674) and are detailed in the financial statement
-
2 Expenditure on general fund equalled the income in the year which, with movements on designated and restricted funds, gave a net increase in funds of £77,362 (2019: £91,167).
-
3 The largest expenditure of the PCC was the sum of £50,000 (2019: £54,737) paid to the Diocese to cover ministry costs. This amount covers the housing and stipend and pension costs of the clergy; a standard sum for diocese central costs; clergy training and a contribution to national church funds. It is effectively the bill for having a full time stipendiary priest. In 2020 the actual bill was £74,035 (of which we paid 68% (2019: we paid 76%). We need to move to paying at least 100% of the Parish Share (which will be £74,300 in 2021) if we want to keep a full time stipendiary priest. Currently other churches are supporting us by paying more than 100% of their Parish Share.
Kathy Lockyear took over as Treasurer and has been working very hard, with huge assistance from Erica Hussey and Peter Lewis to prepare the Accounts and help the PCC keep a track on their finances over the year. We are very grateful to them all!

Reserves Policy
It is the PCC’s policy:
to maintain a balance on the general unrestricted funds which equates to approximately two months worth of unrestricted payments as contingency against unforeseen situations.
to spend restricted and endowment funds in line with their terms and conditions
- to invest fund balances with the CBF Church of England deposit fund. (Currently such funds are restricted or endowment funds only)
The PCC recognises with gratitude and appreciation those groups and individuals who make their service of God and of His Church clear by their generous giving of their time, money and effort. Much of the work of this parish is undertaken by a generation who are entering their senior years. Failing health and vigour are reducing energies which could be relied upon in the past.
In order for the Church to thrive and grow we need to continue to engage in evangelism, mission and faith sharing to encourage growth in numbers as well as growth in faith, love and service. We were evangelised by those who helped to make Jesus real to us - and they did a successful job (otherwise we wouldn’t be here!) - so we need to do what they did and pass on our faith to this current generation.
Trustees’ responsibilities statement – unincorporated charity
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST MARY THE VIRGIN EAST PRESTON WITH KINGSTON
This report on the accounts of the Parochial Church Council for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on pages 2 to 10, is in respect of an examination carried out under Regulation 3(3) of the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 (‘the Regulations’) and s.145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
Respective responsibilities of the Parochial Church Council and examiner
As the members of the Parochial Church Council you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 3(3) of the Regulations and section 145(2) of the Act do not apply. It is my responsibility to issue this report on those accounts in accordance with the terms of Regulation 25.
Basis of this report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act and to be found in the Church guidance, 2006 edition, issued by the Finance Division of the Archbishops’ Council. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Parochial Church Council and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the 2011 Act and the Regulations have not been met; or
-
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the accounts by s.10 of the Charities Act 2011.
Movable church furnishings held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC, and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the church’s Inventory which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For inalienable property acquired prior to 2001 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the accounts. Items acquired since 1st January 2001 have been capitalised and depreciated in the accounts over their currently anticipated useful economic life.
All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings, individual items under £1,000 or on the repair of movable church furnishings acquired before 1st January 2001 is written off.
Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment
Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over 2 years.
Investments
Investments are valued at market value at 31st December.
Current assets
Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectible.
Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds or at the bank.
