Our Aims and Purposes as a Charity
The Congregation of St Mary’s Church are still coming to terms with the loss of their beloved Vicar, Fr Andrew Perry, who was diagnosed with Cancer in February 2025 and died in September 2025. The Parish is therefore currently soon to be officially in Vacancy, pending the long process of seeking and appointing a new Incumbent. The Church Wardens, with the unflinching support of the Treasurer, the Secretary and members of the PCC, and the invaluable devotion of Fr Richard Bromfield, a retired Priest in our Congregation who has nobly taken on the role of Spiritual Leader, leading all of our weekly worship as well as other Services including baptisms and funerals, are doing their best to promote in the Parish the whole mission of the Church - Pastoral, Social, Evangelistic and Ecumenical.
## Especially:
- To enable, prosper and further the worship of Almighty God and the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England.
- 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 maintain positive links with businesses within the community of East Preston and Kingston, Infant & Junior Schools; Royal British Legion and Parish Council.
## What we planned to do to achieve our charitable objectives
When planning our Activities for the year, while Fr Andrew was still well enough to do so, he and the PCC considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on ‘charities for the advancement of religion’.
The council has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, fully recognising its duty to have due regard to House of Bishops' guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. This year we observed Safeguarding Sunday on 16[th] November to draw attention to this vital area of our life together.
We discussed:
Reaching out to the Unchurched through participation in village events and in a busy and varied social calendar;
Our progress as an Eco-Church – now Silver Status;
The importance of continuing to engage with the Parish Giving Scheme;
Our finances and future as a parish;
Our responsibilities for Safeguarding;
Our continued participation in Churches Together in Rustington;
Maintaining the fabric of the Church building as a historic centre and focus of life in the village.
## **What we achieved and how we affected beneficiaries’ lives**
## _**Attendance at worship**_
2023 and 2024 had seen a continued slow and gradual return to normal social mixing following Covid restrictions, and this rise has continued throughout 2025.
We continue to be able to welcome visitors from within as well as outside the Parish boundary. Visitors attend by personal choice, and it is our great pleasure to welcome anyone from all walks of life to take part in the life of the Church. We contend that voluntary attendance to worship the Lord Jesus Christ is a major demonstration of the public benefit of our activities.
We have continued to livestream the main Sunday mass and have been impressed at its continued popularity - Facebook statistics suggest over 130 people accessed online worship.
Sadly, in spite of the Leaders of the Sunday Club providing an excellent and committed service to children during the 10am mass, both Sunday Club and Families @3 numbers continued to dwindle to an average attendance of 3 children. As a result, the difficult decision was made to close the Sunday Club for the time being.
The average regular weekly attendance in person (October count) was 85 adults (73 in 2024) and 4 children (3 in 2024.). Since Fr Andrew’s illness we have sadly not been able to continue to celebrate monthly communion in two of the Parish’s care homes, The Martlets & White Lodge, but our neighbouring Priest Rev’d Natalie Bawcutt from Rustington Parish has kindly continued to celebrate monthly Communion with the Residents of Green Willow - our nearest Care Home and traditionally the one with the highest number of St Mary’s members.
This year there was 1 celebration of a wedding anniversary in church and 1 blessing of new wedding rings
Christmas is a very special time of celebration where many sections of the Community come together to join in the services. This was particularly the case in 2025 and despite the slow recovery of average Sunday attendance across the year, numbers were up this Christmas. Early Carols by Candlelight; Nine Lessons and Carols; Carols in the Tavern; Christingle; and Crib Service - all proved very popular, although due to Fr Andrew’s loss it was not possible to repeat the Nine Lessons and Carols for the Willowhayne Residents’ Association.
Advent congregations totalled over 400 (395 in 2024). Carols were also sung around the Nursing Homes.
## _**Teaching, baptising and nurturing new and existing believers**_
In 2025 we celebrated no weddings (1 in 2024); there were 10 church funerals (11 in 2024;) 7 burials of ashes (8 in 2024) and 1 baptism (4 in 2024).
For our _**Lent course**_ this year we again joined the Churches Together in Rustington, and attendance was good.
Fr Andrew traditionally ran four “occasional” home-grown teaching sessions throughout the year. In previous years these have covered such diverse subjects as the Diocesan Year of the Old Testament and a Christian perspective on death and healing. Sadly, due to his failing health, Fr Andrew was not able to lead similar courses in 2025.
We were able to join with ecumenical brothers and sisters for an Epiphany Service; Week of Prayer for Christian Unity; World Day of Prayer; Good Friday Walk of Witness, as well as Village events including Remembrance Sunday and Merchant Navy Day.
## _**Evangelism and outreach**_
The 2025 _**East Preston Festival**_ was a huge success, and, as ever, St Mary’s was involved: the Friends of St Mary’s Friends’ Brunch with a talk by the Olympic ice
Skater Robin Cousins; hosting various groups in the Spire Room; running Songs of Praise on the Village Green and providing Judging for the Carnival Float Parade.
The bi-annual _**Christmas Tree Festival**_ , organised by the Friends of St Mary’s, took place in 2024 and will run again in 2026, but 2025 saw an extremely well-organised Flower Festival, in association with the East Preston Floral Society. The Festival was a fantastic success, raising significant sums for the Church and bringing in hundreds of people over three days.
_**The Women’s Fellowship**_ had continued to reach out to women in the Parish, but the membership was dwindling and the reluctant decision to close it was taken. However, it was replaced with a ‘new-look’ Friendship Group open to all, which meets monthly and continues to grow in numbers.
The new group’s motto is “Friendship over a cuppa”
_**The Little Angels Toddler Group**_ was paused for a few months in 2024, following the sad death of our beloved Lucy Hornby, who had played such an active role, but restarted in 2025 with a slightly different format and has been very well-received,
_**The Welcome Café**_ (an initiative started in 2022 as an open-house drop-in coffee stop in the Spire Room from 10am-12noon of the first Monday of each month), continued to prove hugely successful, with an average of 35-40 people attending equally from the church and wider community.
We held two Music Nights which sold out and brought in many local people who do not usually attend Church. They also raised significant funds for the Church..
_**St Mary’s Drama Group**_ production in May sadly had to be cancelled as the subject matter (which would normally have been appropriate) did not sit comfortably with the sombre mood of the Church. However, a new play is underway for May 2026 and is eagerly awaited.
Village events such as Remembrance Sunday continue to make connections and serve our community in marking important days.
As a pastoral/outreach follow-up to Ministry amongst the bereaved this year saw a special Service at for All Souls in November. Everybody who had had contact with a funeral connected with St Mary’s was invited and the service was live-streamed. Attendances were high and comments appreciative.
In addition to our website, Our Facebook page has 500 followers and is an excellent way of letting people in the wider Community know what we are doing

## _**Music Nights**_
Two Music Nights were held and, as usual, were very well-received. The Music Nights bring in many people from the Village who do not usually attend Church, but we now see several of them at other Church events and services too. The wine for the licensed bar is donated by local Businesses, and with a very well-organised raffle we are able to keep ticket prices to £5 and still return a very heathy (usually 4-figure) profit.
_**Connection with the schools**_ is always a priority at St Mary’s. East Preston Infant School came to celebrate Christmas at Church in December: three cohorts welcomed by Fr Richard included almost the entire school. In the previous year East Preston Junior School had more regular contact through the year: they came to Church in February to learn about parables; three cohorts came in February/March to learn about Ceremonies; Fr Andrew went into school for an all morning session on Understanding Parables And The Bible in March; and Fr Andrew went into school for most of an afternoon to talk about Pilgrimages in December. Sadly Fr Andrew’s health did not permit this in 2025.
## The infant school came to St Mary's for their harvest festival.
We are seeing new faces throughout the year, many of whom are joining us - some occasionally, some regularly. Patterns of church going often seem to fluctuate, and if everybody who worshipped at St Mary’s occasionally came every Sunday it is likely that there would be standing room only.
## _**Provision of the Church building for people to enjoy**_
As well as celebrating many Occasional Offices in 2025, in spite of Fr Andrew’s failing health, thanks to a team of Volunteers the church building remained open each day between about 8.30am and 5pm and a constant stream of people dropped in to sit, pray, light a candle and enjoy the silence. Many remarked not only how refreshing it is to find an open church but also the sense of peacefulness and spirituality the church pervades. It is important to us that the church is available for private prayer not just to the church family but to the wider visiting community. It appears that there is a growth in seeing the church building as being _for the village_ , not just ‘for religious people on a Sunday’: a rise in ‘ownership’ seems to be taking place.
The church building continues to be appreciated by our parishioners and many others, as a space where life events are celebrated with joy and thanksgiving.
We continue to explore the survey by East Preston Parish Council’s _Greener Buildings Project_ and the Brighton and Hove Energy Services Co-operative (BHESCo) and to work out ways to implement the findings and reduce our carbon footprint.
The provision of flowers - especially for high days and holy days - is now shared between the East Preston Floral Club and St Mary’s Jenny Bromfield. We remain very grateful for their input and the great pleasure the flowers bring. The Fabric Committee met monthly to draw up plans for implementing the Quinquennial Inspection. The challenges of maintaining a Grade 1 listed building continue to exercise the PCC and especially the Friends of St Mary’s. We continue to be hugely appreciate of the fabulous work Friends of St Mary’s does in order to raise funds for the Church fabric and to help us make sure the building is here for future generations.
## _**Provision of tangible support to the poor and needy**_
During the year collections were made for the Littlehampton & District Food Bank, the Diocesan Family Support Work and Worthing’s Turning Tides homeless project: people showed their love and compassion in practical ways with tinned, dried and packet goods, toiletries and other essentials. St Mary’s continued to operate as a drop off/collection point for aid to Ukraine which continued throughout the year. Various other activities during the year support the Children’s Society; the NSPCC; Christian Aid; and Aspens (through re-cycling.)
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## _**Incoming and outgoing resources**_
The total receipts on general unrestricted funds received was £97,617 (£95,842 in 2024); total expenditure on general unrestricted funds was £91,572 (£84,417 in 2024) and these are detailed in the statement of financial activities along with the notes to the accounts.
We continue to encourage people to join the Parish Giving Scheme, and plans were made to undertake a stewardship campaign in January 2026, to highlight and make our financial situation as transparent as possible.
We have been extremely grateful to Erica Hussey our Treasurer.
Erica has been doing a marvellous job and we are so grateful for her calm expertise.
## _**Sharing the ministry costs of the Diocese of Chichester**_
The largest expenditure facing the PCC was the sum of £81,445 (£81,445 in 2024) levied by the diocese for our share of all churches’ Parish Ministry Costs (PMC). During the year the contribution from St Mary’s was £57,000 or 70% (61% £50,000 in 2024). We continue to endeavour to increase our PMC contribution.
The PMC relates directly to Parish support (21%), ministry support (16%) and Ministry costs (63%) of having a full time, stipendiary Parish Priest. This includes elements such
as training of new ordinands; a contribution to national Church funds; and shared costs of the Christian family throughout the whole diocese, including assistance towards the upkeep of Churches (such as ours) who are less able to meet their PMC.
## _**Staff costs**_
The PCC pays for the organist, Daniel Paine, whose prodigious musical
talents greatly enhance our worship. Further details are provided in the notes to the accounts.
## _**Trustee payments and expenses**_
The PCC also supported the Vicar by paying Council Tax, Water and environmental charges for the Vicarage. Expenses are also paid in connection with official duties for the Vicar.
There were no other payments to the Trustees, or persons related to or connected to, the Trustees.
## _**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 follow their example and pass on our faith to this current generation.
## _**Management of Risks and their mitigation**_
The PCC has an ongoing task of reviewing the major risks which impact on the work of St Mary's. The usual PAT testing and fire extinguisher checks have been carried out, and a Defibrillator has been purchased through a generous donation by a member of the Congregation and collection money from the Carols by Candlelight service.
The PCC consider that the principal risks and uncertainties are:
- An unexpected fall in income, particularly given the dependence of the Church on a limited number of major regular donors.
- The requirement to find volunteers with the appropriate skills, time and commitment to support the ministry of the Congregation.
- Reliance upon the Diocese to continue to provide financial support whilst we work towards paying our full Parish Ministry Costs for Clergy Ministry.
The PCC seeks to manage these risks and uncertainties by regularly reviewing its finances, its Mission Action Plan and its plans for greater use of the Church buildings as conditions allow.
Engaging with the Parish Giving Scheme is a much more reliable, safe, efficient way of maximising support for St Mary’s, and we will continue to encourage supporters to use this method.
## _**Future uncertainties**_
Our inability to meet our PMC is a concern, but the Stewardship campaign has already proved helpful in financial terms and therefore in planning for the future. We recognise that the demographic profile of worshippers at St Mary’s matches very well the general demographic of East Preston: this is weighed more towards those of retirement age, rather than young families.
It is also important to realise that St Mary’s faces challenges not shared by our immediate neighbours. We are a relatively modern parish (achieving separate status in 1914); we do not have historic trust funds, legacies, property, land or investments which provide income. The Spire Room (the closest thing we have to a Church Hall) is too small for regular hiring as (for example) a Nursery. Our building is very small and inflexible to use for other purposes.
## _**Structure, governance and management**_
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a charity, and our registered Charity Commissioner’s number is: 1180544. Its governing document is the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956.
Since the APCM of 2024 the following served as members of
the Parochial Church Council: _ex-officio:_
_Incumbent:_ Currently none, but Fr Richard Bromfield leads our worship. _Church Wardens:_ Mrs Mary Jeavons (joint Acting Chair) Mr Christopher Wood (joint Acting Chair) _PCC Secretary_ : Mrs Ann Mathias _Honorary Treasurer_ : Mrs Erica Hussey _Safeguarding_ Mrs Tracey Hammond _Deanery Synod:_ Mrs Pauline McLelland Mr Bill Gale _Elected members:_
Mrs Viven Ayling Ms Laura Easton Mrs Brenda Harris Mr Laurie Hearn Mr Robert Hudson Mrs Sheena Hudson Mr George Lea Mr Malcolm McLelland Mr David Moore Mrs Helen Smith Ms Lois Townsend
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). 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.
**Electoral Roll Report**
At the start of 2025, 109 were on the Roll, and at the end there were 121. 60% lived in the parish and 30% outside.
During the year, one person died.
At the start of the previous year, 106 were on the Roll.
_Lynne Brunton, Electoral Roll Officer_
## **Fabric (Buildings) Report**
2024 had seen the successful completion of Phase 1 of the church restoration. The main requirement was to restore the North wall which suffered from damp created by the incorrect concrete rendering on the outside This was successfully stripped and lime based rendering was applied and repainted with lime based paint replicating that used centuries ago. The remaining walls were also painted to give a uniform appearance.
The brickwork of the Spire Room was repointed. All the gutters and drainpipes were cleaned and painted. With this work completed, we had a fully restored exterior to the church.
Phase 2 , the internal restoration, was carried out in January and February 2025, thanks to the funds raised by the Friends of St Mary’s. Furthermore, the Friends of St Mary’s were kindly able to fund the replacement of the flat roof above the Kitchen and Vestry extension leading to the Spire Room. This was well over 20 years old and had deteriorated significantly, allowing water to come into the Spire Room when it rained.
This means that all of the significant faults and nearly all of the minor defects highlighted in the 2021 Quinquennial Inspection have now been completed, under the guidance of the Fabrics Committee and the Architect Andy Burrell.
The next phase of our Church restoration (which was not raised in the 2021 Q.I but might be in the forthcoming one in 2026) will be to tackle the heating, lighting and electrical systems. We are seeking advice from Steve Collins, the Diocesan Heating & Lighting & Energy Efficiency Consultant, as to the most appropriate systems to meet our needs. Then we will start to gather the required money through grant applications and fundraising efforts to pay for the necessary works,
This Trustees’ Annual Report was approved by the PCC and signed on their behalf by Church Wardens Mary Jeavons & Chris Wood.

## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST MARY THE VIRGIN EAST PRESTON WITH KINGSTON**
## **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 2025, 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.
