## **The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Andrew’s Earlsfield** 

## **Annual Report** 

## **Aims and Purposes** 

St. Andrew’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Reverend Jonathan Brown, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It is responsible for maintaining St Andrew’s Church in Garratt Lane and the Parish Hall in Waynflete Street. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The PCC is committed to helping people discover and live out the Gospel as part of our parish community. 

This is achieved through worship and prayer, both in its traditional forms and in Fresh Expressions, pastoral care, including around life events marked by the baptism of infants, marriages and funerals, and through hosting a variety of community enterprises in the church and hall. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

The PCC offers a range of services during the week and over the course of the year. The principal Sunday service is the Parish Communion (Common Worship), with a midweek service of Holy Communion (Book of Common Prayer). Special services are held on Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Day, and around Christmas. Sadly, the emergence of the Omicron variant of Covid-19 meant that the two most popular Christmas Services had to be cancelled at the last minute. To cope with the backlog from the times when churches were closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a number of baptisms were conducted separately from the main Parish Communion. Fresh Expression services include the monthly Allsortz in the church, quarterly Forest Church on Wimbledon Common and Beer and Carols at Christmas. 

During the year we celebrated 34 baptisms, published the banns of marriage of 26 couples and held 5 funerals, either in the church or at local crematoria. 

The PCC continued to host the Home Community Café in the church. Home is a place of hospitality for the local community. It runs a pay-forward scheme, collaborates with the Earlsfield Foodbank by providing a social breakfast while guests wait for their food, runs a social prescription lunch, a children’s after-school club and a project for new mothers struggling with post-natal depression, and it provides opportunities to volunteer. It is a much-loved resource in the neighbourhood. 

The PCC also continued to host the Earlsfield Foodbank, which provides a helping hand to those facing food poverty, restoring dignity with confidentiality and offering support without judgement. It serves over 100 households a week. 

The PCC also provides a home for Chelsea Hall School for children with learning needs, Jiva Health Yoga, the Southwest Songbirds community choir and the 3rd Earlsfield Brownies. 



As a consequence of the pandemic, the Toddlers Group, which had been held in St Andrew’s for many years, sadly closed during the course of the year. 

## **Financial Review** 

## _Statistical information to follow._ 

If we collect money for a specific project then there is a designated or restricted fund for the project. All the monies in and out of such funds are recorded on a separate ledger from the general funds. 

## **Volunteers** 

It would prove impossible to recognise each individual who has contributed to the work of St Andrew’s in 2021. The value of their contribution is very considerable. We are grateful to them all. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. The full PCC met online and in person in 2021. 

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St. Andrew’s the membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent, churchwardens, and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our services / members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. 

## **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). 

## **Administrative information** 

St. Andrew’s Church is situated in Earlsfield in SW London.  It is part of the Diocese of Southwark within the Church of England. 

PCC members in 2021 were: Rev Jonathan Brown (Chair), Benet Northcote (Vice-chair, Churchwarden), Alex Fry (Churchwarden), Rev Johnny Sertin (Pioneer Priest), Lisa Davis, Susan Kent, Cherreem Lindsay, Hannah Markusse, Irene Lau, Paul Mitchell, Viv Snell (Reader), Andrew Thomson. Paul Mitchell and Viv Snell were deanery synod representatives. 

During the course of 2021, Marion Endicott and Lynda Thomas stood down, and Irene Lau (treasurer), Paul Lickman, Hannah Markusse and Paul Mitchell (deanery synod), and were elected.
