Structure, governance and management** Administration was the responsibility of the Priest-in-charge; Rev. George Pitcher (non-stipendiary priest) together with the Churchwardens and Parochial Church Council (PCC) following the relevant legislation and the Canon Law of the Church of England,and working under the authority of the Bishops of the Diocese. The Churchwardens are given responsibility for the day to day administration, good order and diary management of the parish. Applications and administration for Baptisms Weddings and Funerals are passed to the Rector from the Pastoral team. The parish is in the diocese of Chichester and the Episcopal Area of Lewes and Hastings. Since November 2023, and following the retirement of Rev. Pitcher, the churchwardens have been appointed as sequestrators and are responsible for the parish under the guidance of the Archdeacon of Hastings. ## **i) How the PCC is constituted** The PCC and Churchwardens are elected under the terms of the Church Representation Rules 2006 (Schedule 3 to the Synodical Government Measure 1969 as amended by Statutory Instrument 2004 No 1889.) The Priest-in-charge served under licence from the Bishop; Churchwardens and Deanery and Diocesan Synod delegates are the subject of separate elections to their posts. All of these then serve on the PCC _ex officio_ . Churchwardens are elected annually, and lay members of the Deanery Synod for a three year term. The appropriate number of members of the church are also elected for a three year term with 1/3 standing down each year, but being eligible for re-election. The electorate comprises those persons on the Electoral Roll; all church members are encouraged to register and to consider standing for election to the PCC. 1 ## **ii) List of members in the year 2023** **Ex-officio members;-** Revd. George Pitcher (Priest –in -charge and Chairman)( Retired 5.11.2023) Mrs Sarah Mackenzie (Churchwarden) Mr Ian Dixon (Churchwarden) and (Treasurer) Mr Tim Williams (Deanery Synod) (see below as well) Mrs Mary Everett (Deanery Synod) (see below as well) ## **Elected members;-** Mrs Penelope Mayfield ( Secretary) Mrs Mary Everett Mrs Carollyn Stanbridge Mr Timothy Hough (See Reader, also) Mr Richard Maylam (See Reader, also) Mr Martin Tunstall Mr Roger Clark ( Safeguarding) Mr Tim Williams Mr David Mattinson Mr Andy Delves ( See Reader, also) Mr Peter Venn ## **Appointed Members** ; Mr Timothy Hough (Reader) Mr Richard Maylam (Reader)(now resigned) Mr Andy Delves (Reader) **iii) Committees of the PCC** The PCC’s Standing Committee, which is the only committee required by law, has the power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings subject to any directions given by the Council. This consists of the Priest-in-charge, the Churchwardens, the Secretary, the Treasurer and one member from the PCC. A finance sub-committee monitors the income and expenditure of the PCC. The PCC also oversees the stewardship of the church buildings and fabric. Other groups who operate under the authority and directions of the PCC have their activities summarised in the appendices to this document. **iv) Induction and training of PCC Members** All members of the PCC have their duties and responsibilities explained to them including their duty of care and the implications of the Charities Act 2006 and SORP 2005. This also includes Safeguarding issues. They are regularly updated on changes to rules, regulations and law. ## **3. Objectives and activities** **i) Primary Objective** The primary objective of the Parish of Waldron 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 cooperating with the incumbent, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. ## **4. Achievements and performance** **i) Church attendance and electoral roll totals** There are currently 116 entries on the Church Electoral Roll of which 40 relate to people not currently residing within the parish (March 2023 revision) (116 in March 2022). The average Sunday attendance was 66 (57 in 2022) _n.b. calculated by adding all of the Sunday only worshippers EXCEPT Easter Sunday and dividing by 51_ 225 came to Church over the Christmas Period, plus 29 children. (67 in 2022) 170 attended the Easter Sunday Services The PCC met on 7 occasions in 2023 –, 17[th] February, 1st May, 5[th] June, 28[th] July, 8[th] September, 24[th] October and 20[th] November. Attendance as recorded in the minutes. **2** **ii) PCC Meetings** **iii) Review of Activities** During the course of the year, the PCC :- Continued to build on the successful integration of the congregations of the two churches with newer members readily accepting the use of both churches as a regular occurrence, which is evidence of good progress in this area. For those unable to attend church services, strenuous efforts are made to maintain contact via telephone calling and other technical options. Home communion was offered on a number of occasions. We were delighted to have 10 weddings in our churches during the year along with 6 Baptisms. Additionally, 7 Funerals took place. Once again, we were delighted to host the very successful school leavers service at St Bartholomew’s Church. We also welcomed local school children to an Easter event in St Bartholomew’s church. We continue to see good use being made of our Alleluia Room, with a regular twice weekly day centre for the elderly now part of the programme. We continue to encourage use of the facility by the local community and we have welcomed a number of other groups for their activities, something we look to build on. On a number of occasions. we were delighted to offer the facility to our Church of England school.. We were also delighted once again, to welcome the Haymakers Nursery to All Saints when they presented their nativity play. The PCC approved the creation of a further garden area near the Alleluia Room which could be enjoyed by passers by and especially those who visited the graves in the adjacent churchyard. We are grateful to volunteers for maintaining the garden areas. We continue to maintain and develop an active working relationship with the local Cof E school where we have representation on the Board of Governors and our Priest in Charge made regular visits to join in the collective worship. We have continued to be represented at collective worship following his retirement. Safeguarding issues are covered at each PCC meeting and we are pleased to report that there have been no instances that required reporting. **iv) Church Groups –** _**see separate reports in the appendix**_ Cross in Hand Church of England Primary School – _appendix 1_ Dallington Deanery Synod – _appendix 2_ Churches Together in Heathfield & District _– appendix 3_ The Choir - _see Music report appendix 4_ Parish Prayer Group _– appendix 5_ Pastoral & Fellowship – _appendix 6_ Friends of Waldron Churches – _appendix 7_ Freewill Offering - _appendix 8_ Family Support Work – _appendix 9_ Bell Ringers – _appendix 10_ Parish Pealers – _appendix 11_ “Lost & Found” – _appendix 12_ **Connected Charity see appendix 13 for a report on Waldron 800 Trust** **3** ## **5. Rector’s Review 2023** As previously stated, our Rector, Rev. George Pitcher, retired on 5[th] November 2023. Consequently, on this occasion, there are no comments in this section. However, the report includes many references to the activities within the Parish during the year and the ongoing health of the Parish generally. ## **6. Churchwardens’ Report – 2023** 2023 was a year of further recovery following the effects of the Covid pandemic as we saw church attendance returning to the pre-Covid levels and welcomed new members to our congregation. However, the announcement by our Rector that he would be retiring in November created quite a challenge for the Parish as we countenanced a future without a priest. Having said that, we were greatly encouraged by the support of the broader congregation and also, that of a number of retired priests who offered assistance as the year drew to an end. This meant that we were able to provide our usual pattern of services each Sunday and, indeed, we have now settled into a regular programme whereby the Eucharist is offered on three of the four Sundays each month with a Morning Praise on the fourth. We also provide a Holy Communion (bcp) service at 0800 every Sunday. With the assistance of a retired priest, we have also been able to offer a monthly communion service at the local Holy Cross care home On a secular level, the Parish was much involved in celebrating the King’s coronation during the year with a street party in Waldron village centre attended by virtually the whole village population. We once again, organised a number of coffee mornings, some with entertainment, as part of our fund raising activities although they also provide a wonderful opportunity for people to come together socially. In addition, we have established a regular mid week coffee morning for anyone who cars to drop in and these are growing in popularity. The Alleluia Room provides much needed 21[st] century facilities and, importantly, a social area for both the congregation and other community groups. Usage continued to increase throughout the year as we reached out to the wider community and our school. Our plans to instal toilet facilities at All Saints started to come together with the appointment of an architect and we look to see this come to fruition during 2024.. Our churches could not function without the support of many volunteers and we extend our thanks to everyone who contributes in so many different ways. It is impossible to name them all, but we are extremely grateful to Rev. Desmond Burton, Rev. Simon Hobbs and Rev. Lucy Murdoch for their ongoing support. We also thank Peter Lawrence for his ongoing work in maintaining the choir and playing the organ for us, well supported by David Oakenfold. In fact, David has been contributing a growing amount of time to us which is a relief to Peter.. Additionally, we should mention the considerable contribution to our church life from Brian Tompsett, the Tower Captain, who supports us in very many ways usually not seen by most of us. We look forward with optimism as we enter a time of interregnum, confident in the great support we have already received and anticipate in 2024. We wait to see what the year brings forth! Sarah Mackenzie and Ian Dixon **4.** ## **7. Financial review and future plans** We entered 2023 in a healthy position financially and were able to conclude the payments for the Alleluia Room which came in exactly on budget., We remain extremely grateful to all those who make regular contributions to our funds through the Parish Giving scheme. Annual income from this source, coupled with the Gift Aid recovery, covers the annual contribution which we make to the Diocese. It should be mentioned that we have, once again, offered to increase that contribution over and above what was requested in order to support those parishes who would e struggling. Having said that, we then needed to cover all of the related costs of running the parish through other means and significant donations along with fees and cash collections served us well. Re-introducing regular coffee mornings also helped with income as did the fact that we now receive all of the distributable income from the Waldron 800 Trust. Higher interest rate also boosted interest earned on our deposit account. Notably, contributions from Friends of Waldron Churches and the Clock Benefaction Fund covered some essential repair work at our churches. It was pleasing to see that, in the main, our estimates of expenditure were broadly correct. However, the increasing cost of oil and greater use of the Alleluia Room contributed to much higher energy costs than we had anticipated and this will continue to be a challenge. We have made arrangements for a further three year fixed cost for gas and electricity to run from May 2024 when the current agreement ends. Additionally, we started to make more use of a range of organists who all needed to be paid an honorarium for their occasional services; this increased our music expense and will do so again in 2024. The year end situation showed a modest shortfall of around £1,300 although this was after a significant expense on the plans for new toilet facilities at All Saints. This will be the subject of major fund raising in 2024 as we seek to bring these plans to reality. Overall, due to the uplift in funds held by FOWC, there was an excess of income over outgoings of some £9,000 or so. Overall assets were valued at £149,000 which includes the Friends of Waldron Churches balances of some £47,000 and, also items that we can not access for various reasons. Our readily available assets were around £57,000. We remain mindful of the fact that virtually all of the work of our parish is done voluntarily; our only personal payments are honoraria for organists. Ian Dixon – Hon.
