Report of the Parochial Church Council
Aim and purposes
Holy Trinity’s Parochial Church Council (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. Until September 2022 Fr Reid Humble was serving as Priestin-Charge, when he decided to take his career into education. Holy Trinity Church is currently in an interregnum.
We now rely solely on local clergy who support our services on a regular basis and have enabled our regular services to continue.
The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the Church and its other buildings.
Objectives and activities
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through the celebration of the sacraments, prayer and scripture, and a rich musical tradition.
When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:
-
Worship and prayer; learning about the gospel; developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus
-
Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish
-
Missionary and outreach work.
To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the church of Holy Trinity and its church hall, and keep the church on a sound financial footing.

Achievements and performance
Worship and prayer
The PCC is keen to offer a range of services during the week and over the course of the year that our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling.
Opportunities are provided for people to engage in a more modern form through the Sunday morning Family Eucharist service, which uses contemporary language, and is also supported by our parish choir. We provide opportunities for traditional and reflective services through our weekly 8am BCP Holy Communion and 6:30pm Evensong each Sunday and Choral Evensong on the last Sunday of each month. Our weekly Wednesday Holy Communion at 10am provides an opportunity for people who cannot attend at the weekend, as well as an opportunity for those who attend on Sunday to grow in their prayer life throughout the week.
All are welcome to attend our regular services. At present there are 131 parishioners on the church electoral roll, of whom 53 live outside the parish. The average Sunday attendance, counted during October, was 42 plus 3 children. The number of communicants at Christmas was 32 with a total of 151 attending. Our Christingle service attendance was 119 along with our usual carol services for Southend High School for Girls, Thorpe Hall School, and Hamstel Junior School. During Advent, the total number of people attending special services held for the congregation and the local community was 119 and the total number of people attending special services held specifically for civic organisations or schools was 637. Holy Week and Easter were celebrated in church. The number of communicants on Easter Day on Easter Eve was 68, with a total of 106 attending.
As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through baptism we thank God for the gift of life; in marriage public vows are exchanged with God's blessing; through funeral services friends and family express their grief and give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world, and commend the person into God's keeping. We have celebrated 1 baptism and 1 wedding. We have held 3 funerals in our church, and conducted 5 burials of ashes this year.
Throughout the year we were supported by our dedicated Director of Music, Roger Humphrey, and the volunteer choir. It was a great joy and relief to see the successful return of our service of Nine Lessons and Carols. They also continue to serve us by helping maintain a weekly pattern of Evensong and Choral Evensong services on Sunday evenings. We are truly unique in offering such a pattern of worship in Southend.
The PCC would like to share the following report from Roger Humphrey:
“In 2022 the choir was able to sing with no restrictions or social distancing. The choir continued to lead the services of Eucharist and Evensong, with some choral evensongs during the year. Every effort has been made to encourage and develop new membership, but this has continued to prove difficult. Without a doubt, Covid has been a game changer, and some members have not returned. Sadly our dear friend Peter Parsons, whose health had been declining in recent years, passed away in the early Spring.
The choir managed to sing at two cathedrals in 2022, with a weekend at Canterbury in April and a subsequent weekend singing the services at Winchester Cathedral. We are able to
4
The Parish Church of Holy Trinity Southchurch Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2022
augment the choir with additional singers for these events. If you compare our church to others, this seems to be a general pattern where choirs are augmented in order to sing at larger services. An example of this was seen in June, when we combined with St Augustine’s Church Choir and other singers from the Deanery to lead a service of celebration for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. In November some members of the Church Choir joined with St Andrew’s Sandon for their Patronal Festival.
In October 2022, Trinity Consort performed John Rutter’s Requiem and Faure’s Cantique de Jean Racine in Holy Trinity Church. Apart from an outdoor concert in 2021, this was the first time Trinity Consort had performed since 2019.
In December, the traditional Service of Nine Lessons and Carols took place once again, albeit to a smaller than usual congregation. I was very pleased to be invited to play for Midnight Mass at our sister Church, St Mary’s North Shoebury, with some of the church choir also taking part. As we are all aware, Holy Trinity Church has one of the finest acoustics of all the churches in the area, and it is good to see the church starting to be used again by outside groups. In May the church hosted a concert of percussion music, which I attended, and local schools have started to use the church once more for their concerts and carol services. Southend Boys’ and Girls’ Choirs performed an Autumn Remembrance Concert, for brass and voices, which was well attended.
In June 2023 the choir has been invited to sing the services over a weekend at Bury St Edmunds Cathedral, which we are very much looking forward to.
I thank the members of the choir for their commitment and support during the year, and in particular thank Paul Schurer for his role as librarian. I am looking forward to the future with a new priest in due course.
Roger Humphrey – Director of Music”
Social
The Wednesday coffee morning follows the 10am BCP Eucharist, and continues to be well attended. Lent Lunches are held in church from Ash Wednesday throughout Lent, with all donations going to Christian Aid. An initiative by Jane Payn (Churchwarden) for a monthly “Open Church” began in April 2022 and is well supported. A Guided tour and history of the church was very popular, talks on the local history of Southchurch and local area are planned for later this year. We held a Fish and Chip Lunch in the church hall on Saturday 18 February. Attendance was back to pre-lockdown numbers, which gives us encouragement.
Deanery Synod
We are invited to nominate three lay representatives to Southend Deanery Synod and meetings are held three times a year.
“Meetings of Southend Deanery Synod take place three times a year, attended by the Area Dean, Canon Louise Williams, and by clergy and lay representatives from churches in the deanery. This year meetings were held at St Peter’s Church Westcliff, St Mary’s North Shoebury, and St Mary’s Prittlewell, and there have been discussions about parish finances and the Parish Share, youth work and children’s activities. Churches are also invited to contribute to the Deanery Prayer Letter three times a year". Jenny Butler Deanery Synod Representative .
If you are interested in being one of our lay representatives on Southend Deanery Synod, please speak to Jenny. Deanery Synod meetings offer an opportunity to develop

relationships with other churches and to learn about ministry and mission in other parishes.
The Church & Church Hall
We would like our church to be open as often as possible to our community. We are normally open 2 days a week for worship and prayer. The church continues to be used for a falls prevention exercise class on Thursday morning.
A Quinquennial Inspection of the church which took place in May 2022 noted congratulations on how well the church was cared for during lockdown. There was exception to the work which is the responsibility of Southend Council. This is an ongoing problem which continues to receive regular attention from the Wardens, and PCC.
The Church Hall is regularly used in normal times. During the week, in addition to the TuitionPod, the hall itself is hired by a Zumba teacher once per week and by Active Lives for multiple sessions per week. The hall is also used weekly by Guides, Rainbows, and Brownies.
The School House
This building is owned by the PCC and is tenanted under a Fixed Term (12 months) Tenancy Agreement. This was renewed as of January 2023, and again is a significant contributor to church funds. Maintenance costs have been minor in recent years, largely comprising the cost of Electrical & Gas Inspections and Energy Reports. It is known that the maintenance costs will be increased significantly during 2023 with the need for window replacement and other work.
Pastoral care
Some members of our parish are unable to attend church due to sickness or age. Church members who have requested to celebrate communion at their home, are visited regularly.
We maintain a GDPR compliant pastoral contact list, which enables us to be more intentional with our pastoral care. It also allows people to tell people exactly how they would like to be contacted and supported. Everyone who provided consent in the parish has received regular contact throughout the year through email, telephone call, or letter. We are unable to provide pastoral care without explicit consent.
A bi - weekly e-newsletter compiled by the churchwardens has resumed for all who would like to receive it, maintaining contact with parishioners.
Mission and evangelism
Helping those in need is a demonstration of our faith. During the year we have raised money for Embrace, Harp, Safer Places, Christian Aid and the Children’s Society.
Following on from the great support for the Southend Foodbank at Harvest Festival in the parish, we have continued regularly supporting them with collections from the congregation on the first Sunday of each month.
Our parish magazine Trinitas remains suspended as we do not have an editor. We also have a website, an email newsletter, and a Facebook page. Together with the What’s On leaflet distributed at services each week, these keep our parishioners and wider community informed of the important matters affecting our church and articles that help develop our knowledge and trust in Jesus.

Ecumenical relationships
Ecumenical relationships will change significantly when a new incumbent is appointed. We have been advised by the Archdeacon Mike Power that Holy Trinity will be “twinned” with St Mary the Virgin Church North Shoebury. The incumbent will live at Southchurch Rectory and serve our two churches. We have been working with the churchwardens at St Mary to build a rapport and communication. We still join with other local churches of different denominations each year to share Evensong during the summer. Thanks to Jane Payn (Churchwarden) we have formed a link with Project Southchurch, which has proved successful.
Financial review
The finances were very much affected by the Covid pandemic, but are picking up compared to 2021. Income was slightly up, and expenditure down. Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £76,613, of which £40,884 was voluntary income from parishioners, including £9,571 from Gift Aid. Unrestricted donations of £8,110 were received, and restricted donations of £2,880 were also received, these were given towards church repairs, church music and various charities and appeals. We did not receive any legacies. The School House provided an income of £7,480.
Of the voluntary income, £27,970 was through the Parish Giving Scheme (PGS), which also collected £6,992 of the Gift Aid we received. The PGS is now our largest form of income.
The amount raised by fundraising has increased over 2021, with £1,440 being raised.
The parish share in 2022 was £62,592, which we paid in full.
Other expenditure was generally as those of 2021, with £86,933 spent on activities relating to the work of the church, £3,568 donations given to other charities, and £740 on church administration.
Reserves policy
The policy if the PCC is to keep a working balance of approximately 3 months' expenditure in a current account. To maintain a deposit account for medium term projects/ expenditure, and invest long term investments (those intended for a minimum of 5 years) in the CBF Church of England Investment Fund.
Structure, governance and management
The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure.
Statement of Faith
Holy Trinity is a parish of the Church of England, and as such its belief is as stated in the Preface to the Declaration of Assent (set out in Canon C 15 of the Canons of the Church of England): ”The Church of England is part of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church worshipping the one true God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It professes the faith uniquely revealed in the Holy Scriptures and set forth in the catholic creeds, which faith the Church is called upon to proclaim afresh in each generation. Led by the Holy Spirit, it has borne witness to Christian truth in its historic formularies, the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, The Book of Common Prayer and the Ordering of Bishops, Priests and Deacons.”

Governing Documents of the PCC
Charities have a range of Governing Documents. Charitable Trusts are governed by Trust Deeds, Charitable Companies will have a Memorandum and Articles whilst Charitable Associations usually have a Constitution. Parochial Church Councils (PCCs) are charities, which are governed by two pieces of Church of England legislation, called Measures. These are :
the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 as amended. This defines the principal function, or purpose, of the PCC as “promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church”. You can find the full text of the PCC Powers Measure in its currently amended form on the legislation.gov.uk database.
And
the Church Representation Rules (contained in Schedule 3 to the Synodical Government Measure 1969 as amended) You can find the full text of the Church Representation Rules in its currently amended form on the legislation.gov.uk database.
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At Holy Trinity the membership of the PCC normally 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 are eligible to stand for election to the PCC.
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 9 times during the year with an average level of attendance of 90%.
Additionally, the PCC has appointed members to manage and report to them on specific matters, both forming permanent items on each PCC meeting agenda :-
-
Health & Safety Position Vacant (overseen by churchwardens)
-
Safeguarding Jenny Butler
All contractors working in or on, and hirers of the church &/or the Church Hall are required to fully comply with our Health & Safety Policy and also our Safeguarding Policy, which follows the guidance and requirements of our Diocese.
The minutes of PCC meetings are available to be read by anyone on the electoral roll upon request.
Safeguarding
Holy Trinity takes seriously its responsibility to protect and safeguard the welfare of all of its congregation. Members of the PCC are required to familiarise themselves with church policy documents, to undertake the basic level of online training offered by the Diocese and to have a DBS check.

The Parish Church of Holy Trinity Southchurch Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2022
In the past year, no matters of safeguarding concern have been raised. The Diocese of Chelmsford has updated its Safer Recruitment policy in June, among other things requiring DBS checks to be carried out every three years instead of every five.
Jenny Butler was elected the PCC Safeguarding Officer at the APCM in May 2022.

The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that operate independently and/or owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members.
Funds
The unrestricted funds of the PCC are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application for the general purposes of the PCC.
The restricted funds of the PCC are subject to restrictions imposed by the donee at the time the funds were given to the PCC.
The financial statements include transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body or those that are informal gatherings of church members.
Incoming resources
Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised when received from the parishioner. The income tax recoverable on these Gift Aid donations is recognised at the same time as the underlying donation.
The PCC is a member of the Parish Giving Scheme (PGS). The PGS is a separate charity that receives giving on behalf of the PCC by direct debit, and returns the giving to the PCC together with any Gift Aid. The amounts returned to the PCC are included in 1(a) as 'Planned giving under Gift Aid', or 'Other planned giving' as appropriate. Similarly the Gift Aid claimed by the PGS and returned to the PCC is included 1(a) as 'Income Tax recoverable on Gift Aid'.
Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain. Funds raised from activities to further the council’s objectives are accounted for gross of expenses met by the PCC. Dividends and interest are included on the receipts basis.
Resources expended
Expenditures is accounted for on an accruals basis. Grants and donations are accounted for in the accounting period in which approved.
Fixed assets
Consecrated land and buildings and moveable church furnishings
Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by S.10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011. Moveable church furnishings held by the Rector and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted for as inalienable property unless consecrated. All expenditure in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings and moveable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as incurred.
Tangible fixed assets
The tangible fixed assets, comprises the School House and the Church Hall. The School House is stated at its insurance valuation and is revalued annually. The PCC consider the insurance valuation to be approximately equal to the open market value of the property.
The Church Hall is stated at a nominal valuation as significant costs are involved in assessing its value in continuing use to the PCC. These costs are considered onerous compared to the additional benefit derived by users of the accounts in assessing the PCC’s stewardship of the Church Hall.
Investment assets
Investments are stated at their market value, and are revalued annually.
Other equipment
All equipment used by the PCC is depreciated on a straight line basis over 4 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off in the period in which the asset is acquired.
