## **TRUSTEES OF NORTHFLEET & ROSHERVILLE PCC** # **ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2021** ## **Aims and purposes** Northfleet and Rosherville 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. It also has maintenance responsibilities for the Church and Hall on both sites. ## **Objectives and Activities** The PCC acknowledged that the year in question would again be a difficult year financially with the Pandemic still showing no sign of abatement and the continued closure of both churches for part of the year, but bills still had to be paid and maintenance of the buildings still had to be carried out, especially at St Mark’s, where their Quinquennial was carried out early in 2021. Members on the electoral roll were encouraged to increase their giving to ensure that we did not have a deficit in our accounts at the end of the year. The events committee looked at different ways of raising funds. When the churches finally opened a 50/50 Club was started up in the Parish, together with raffles, Christmas Fair, The Big Local Day and Advent Angel Day, coffee mornings. These events enabled us to increase our income over the previous year. ## **Structure, Governance & Management** St Botolph’s Church, Northfleet and St Mark’s Church, Rosherville are both part of the Diocese of Rochester within the Church of England.

They keep our church lovely and clean, hoover, polish, wash floors, wash and iron the linen, keep the flowers watered and fresh. Then outside they go to keep our Memorial Garden clean and tidy and keep the outside car park clean, go up the ladder to check the gutters and lots of jobs that no one knows about. Except our Church Mice. Thank you to all of you that spend hours helping to keep our church in tip top condition. We would also like to recruit more! What another difficult year this has been at least we were able to fund raise a little so our finances were not affected like last year. The church closed after our Epiphany Service due to Covid restrictions but this did not stop the workmen starting on our roof project, the weather was not kind on many days but after weeks we are glad to say it was completed on time. We opened our church again on Palm Sunday so we were able to celebrate Holy week and Easter. Restrictions were still in place and our congregation gradually returned. We would like to thank David for playing the organ every week from when we opened and was joined by a few members of our choir and David Showers, thank you to you all. We were so pleased that the restriction on choirs was changed enabling our choir to return for our Patronal Service in June, thank you for your amazing voices making our church come alive again. On June 30[th] we were visited by the Saint Sigfrid's Pilgrims on their journey ,food was shared and eaten together with some of our congregation. Wendy then walked with them to Rochester their next port of call. They have since written a book on their journey and we are featured in it with photographs to say we were excellent hosts! July 10[th] Fund raising at last! We held a Market on the Path but due to bad weather it was indoors but was good to see people and we actually made a profit for church funds. Our next fund raising was a joint effort with The Big Local Love life and Community Spirit. This was on August Bank Holiday Monday with many stalls with games and fun for all which gave a healthy profit over £700. Next was Ride and Stride on 12th September Shane and Penny were our cyclist and walker not forgetting Penny's Granddaughter. We had a small grant for our roof from this fund so were very grateful to Shane and Penny to be able to support this. Thank you to all three. The returning to school saw St Botolph's having their first Eucharist actually in church, it was good to see the whole school once again. The Stewardship Campaign was launched at the beginning of September and we were pleased that volunteers came forward to help at the services. This was followed by Harvest where parents were allowed this time and so much Harvest giving which was amazing. This started our Harvest weekend followed by a Harvest Lunch on the Saturday, yes, we actually were catering again. A beautiful Choral Harvest Service on the Sunday concluded a weekend which felt a little normal. The confirmation was held at St Georges Church where some of our congregation were confirmed but due to restriction only the candidates and family were allowed and Clergy. Our uniformed groups slowly returned in September also Julie our cleaner who does an amazing job. We have three new groups joining us COGS, Well Being and A.B.C. Boxing this means our hall income is healthier than before. We held our first monthly Lunch Club in October which has proved to be very popular with a Christmas lunch that was amazing with support from St Botolph's School Choir and David Showers. Afternoon tea also returning and like the lunch club the Christmas one was so festive thank you to Christine and her Choir. Christmas fund raising had the green light which started with Our Christmas Market followed by our Angel Festival on Advent weekend and Our Christmas Fair which raised over £1000 so we were getting back to NORMAL. It was good raising monies for our Parish but we have also supported outside organisations like Poverty and Hope, Christian Aid, Macmillan, The Children’s Society, The British Legion , Salvation Army and Sanctuary Gravesend. We are so grateful to our congregation's response to give less fortunate families of St Botolph's School a better Christmas by delivering bags of Christmas Sparkle to these Families. Through the year we had many repair issues, Tiles off the roof again and water dripping into buckets and pumping out of drain pipes outside. Our fire inspection took place also P.A.T. testing, Boiler was serviced, Organ serviced. Luckily a light fell down in the hall thank goodness it was during the night! The hall lights have now been replaced. We mentioned before Covid that the Hall way and Toilets were to be decorated this is imminent. Our Christmas was amazing with many services for all to enjoy. We started with Epiphany 2021 and also ended with a tear-jerking service with our three Kings Robert David and Alan for Epiphany 2022. We would like to thank our amazing Choir, David and Christine whose organ playing is really appreciated. We would like to express our thanks to our reader and Pastoral Assistant Marion and Father Cyril for their guidance, support and great worship. Thank you also to Martin Fielder White our PCC Secretary and Colin Taylor our Treasurer for their hard work and continued support. All our efforts go towards trying to ensure that our church is not just a handsome building but also a warm and friendly caring group of people who worship together and welcome everyone. We hope 2022 will be a better one. Wendy Waller and Pauline Hickmott. St Botolph's Church Wardens. ## **TRUSTEES REPORT FOR ST MARK’S CHURCH** We started 2021 with the whole country in lockdown. The churchwardens in post then were Steve Kench-Canon and Sarah Jones. We would like to thank Fr Cyril, Marion, Fr Joe, Walter Caulker-Johnson and Richard Scarff for their unstinting support at our services during 2021. At the end of 2020 we had discovered significant damage to our parquet floor and a ceiling tile had fallen and was wet. Initially we were getting flooring contractors in to quote for replacement flooring, but this was proving to be extremely expensive. Inspection of the Community Room showed that the repair carried out in October 2020 had not been done properly, and there was extensive water ingress with mould growing on the walls. It was so disheartening to see our Church in such a sorry state. At the end of February John Bailey from Thomas Ford Architects, who was later appointed to undertake our Quinquennial Inspection, came to give a brief inspection of St Marks. He felt that our floor could be repaired, which we were really pleased about. He also said he thought the ceiling tiles were getting wet from occasional ingress of water via the mitred hips on the apex roof. He stated he didn’t believe that even if more tiles did fall from the ceiling it wouldn’t be a hazard as they would float rather than come down quickly. In June we eventually found a company who could repair our floor, Kent Wood Flooring, who had worked on another local church hall floor. They were awarded the contract and started work on the floor in June. It took a week to complete, and the restored floor looks amazing. At the beginning of March Gravesham Borough Council had contacted us because they were holding local elections and we are a designated polling station. At this point the floor had not been repaired, so a meeting was arranged with GBC and the Wardens to devise a plan to make the church safe for use for the elections in May. The plans were put into action and the election successfully took place in May. We were very pleased to be able to continue with this valuable service to the community. In May we had our APCM and Steve Kench-Canon did not want to renew his tenure as Church Warden. Keith Major had said he was willing to stand and was duly elected to replace him. Our Quinquennial inspection took place in April and the main urgent areas requiring attention were the floor, the Community room roof and the damaged caused by the leak, and inspection of the internal and external apex roof. In June we started to search for a roofer to replace the Community room roof. After obtaining 3 quotations the PCC approved A Wise Roofing to undertake the work. They have done an excellent job and the room is now weatherproof. Once the roofing was completed, we went through the same process again to find a plasterer to deal with all the internal damaged caused by the water ingress. The PCC approved GSR Plastering would undertake this work, and this was completed in December. In July we had two generous donations towards the refurbishment of our kitchen: flooring and a new cooker. Keith laid the flooring, and the cooker was installed by a registered gas fitter. This has improved the kitchen to some degree, but it still needs replacement cupboard and drawer fronts and work tops. It will also need painting. On Tuesday July 6[th] after 14 months closure, we were finally able to open St Mark’s for silent prayer twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Our congregation were so happy to be able to come back to St Mark’s and sit and pray together, even if it was in a socially distanced manner. At one of our silent prayer sessions we were fortunate to have sermon/Bible study presentation by Rosaline Griffiths on Psalm 8. Speaking about God’s love for us shown in the wondrous gifts he has given us on this earth; to make us flourish not flounder; to reflect on our own life and what we mean to God and how precious we are to him. Everyone enjoyed this reflective presentation, and it was well attended. We held 11 sessions of silent prayer before finally opening fully for our first Eucharistic service on Sunday 15[th] August. It has been heartening for us to welcome back our church family and some new members too. Since then, we have held 27 Eucharistic services, 13 christenings, a memorial service for a member of the local community who had died, an Advent Carol Service, when we were lucky enough to have the choir from St Botolph’s sing, and a Crib, Carol and Cake service hosted by Marion and Martin Fielder-White. In November the apex roof and ceiling were inspected by B W May with John Bailey in attendance. They recommended work the hip ridge tiles to make the ceiling watertight. In December Fr Cyril had his long-awaited operation on one of his eyes. With everyone praying that this would go well, we give thanks to God that the operation was successful. During the time Fr Cyril took off to recuperate we were very pleased to welcome Fr Joe King back to take services. Our congregation really enjoyed seeing him again. Our focus during the year has been to deal with the many major and urgent repairs that have been required, firstly to get everything safe so that we could welcome our congregation back, and secondly to get the rest of the building in the best condition for maximum use of the church centre for letting to raise badly needed funds. In September the Wardens and Fr Cyril met with Eric Mumba from Potters House Pentecostal Church to discuss them hiring our church centre on Sundays for their services after our service has finished. They commenced their services at the beginning of October, holding services every Sunday, with an extended Sunday service once a month. They also hold a study group every Thursday, and various other ad hoc events during the year. With our regular groups not expected to restart until next year we were pleased to have some bookings in the last quarter of 2021. We had a children’s party, an evening event by a Christian discussion group, and two bookings from ABLE (Ability Beyond Life Expectations) for half term and end of term children’s’ activities sessions. During the year we continued to make sure that all regular inspections were carried out as follows: Fire extinguisher service, fire alarm service, boiler service, PAT testing and a clean-up day for the church grounds. We have held two coffee mornings which raised over £400. The coffee mornings are well supported, and we have lots of fun, eat plenty of homemade cake, and raise much needed funds. We would also like to thank Martin Fielder, White, and Colin Taylor for their support during the extra works that have needed to be undertaken at St Mark’s during 2021. Keith Major and Sarah Jones Church Wardens ## **DEANERY SYNOD REPORT** There have been two meetings this year, one by Zoom and the other took place at Swanscombe church. The first meeting Bishop Simon talked about the state of the nation and five issues to look at which were polarisation, diversity and cohesion, trust in institutions, valuing truth and shape of politics. It was also stated that in the C of E 98% do not attend a C of E church. That a church showing pastoral care would be noticed and also a person living a Christian life. It was stated 1) we need a new capacity to listen 2) Renewed boldness. We do not talk about God in public. We need to show practical care to back up what we say. We need – listening spirit, bold heart and practical hands. There followed an intense discussion between various members of the meeting. Elections took place on the 3rd November and it was announced the following people were elected. House of Clergy The Rev Joel Love The Rev Johnny Douglas The Rev Lindsay Llewellyn-Macduff The Rev Tim Edwards House of Laity Mrs Billy-Jo O’Leary Mr Andrew Smith Ms Jane Rosam Mr Martin Sewell The second meeting was held at Swanscombe church centre. There was confirmation of Diocesan Synod Reps from the Gravesend Deanery, some new members introduced themselves to the group. We were introduced to Living in Love and Faith and the time framework for it. Once again the budget for 2022 was discussed with feeling. If anyone wishes to look at the budget set by the diocese I can forward a copy of it. We had a “Called to Grow” update by the Archdeaconry Growth Enabler The Revd Dylan Turner, who discussed what had been happening, there were questions and comments by the representatives about how things were moving forward. One member, who is in training, explained how she was called to serve even though it wasn’t something she had previously thought of. Wendy Waller and Barbara Osborn ## **SAFEGUARDING REPORT** During this year of Covid restrictions, the Health and Safety team have been busy, and highly effective, with implementing measures to address the challenge of keeping all who attend the church safe in the pandemic. As Safeguarding Officer, my priority has been to ensure that all aspects of Safeguarding are constantly monitored. These include: - Myself attending a course held by Greenhithe and Swanscombe churches to renew my basic safeguarding certificate - Revisiting the types of safeguarding requirements to cover all types of abuse and writing a detailed Safeguarding Risk Assessment for the churches - Liaising with Father Cyril regarding safeguarding issues - Writing reports to present at PCC meetings - Upgrading required Safeguarding Information on boards in both churches - Attending a Zoom meeting run by the Rochester Safeguarding Team to learn about updates eg for DBS renewals three yearly The process for enabling a Deputy Safeguarding Officer to have authority to process DBS certificates for eligible people (none outstanding at present) in my absence should be finalised as soon as possible. Moving forward, there is much to do to ensure that all those eligible for a DBS have a renewal every three years now, and not after five years. Also, new requirements regarding certificate renewal must be a priority. I wish to thank the clergy, church officers, the deputy safeguarding officers and the congregation for their continued support. Gill Graves RISK MANAGEMENT During 2021 with the Pandemic. St Botolph's was closed from Epiphany Sunday to Palm Sunday and St Mark's was closed for Health & Safety issues until July. Income has increased in the yearwith the opening of both Church Halls in September. Congregation members were still urged to give by standing order and to Gift Aid their contributions. The Treasurer reported at year end that the Parish had sufficient reserves to last 18 months if current income and expenditure levels remained as they were. Therefore the PCC are happy that the Parish finances remain viable going into 2022. In September the Parish launched a Stewardship campaign to boost income and increase the numbers of people helping to carry out duties at services and at other times. Fr Cyril Showers spearheaded this campaign in church over the Sundays in September ending with a Thanksgiving for thi5 at Haprfest. Risk Assessments have been drawn up for both churches in the Parish based on the regulations laid down by the Church of England and Rochester Diocese, and are being strictly adhered to. ensuring that safety is paramount to the congregation and clergy alike and that our duty of care for each other is paramount. The PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 Iduty to have regard to House of Bishops. guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).

The church’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to - Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; - Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and - State whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement** My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. adventusaccounting@btinternet.com 07523 622979 www.adventusaccounting.wixsite.com/website ## **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; or - to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records 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.

**2,235.46**| Page | 21 ## **Financial Review** Once again COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on the life and finances of the Parish. Thankfully, restrictions were lifted during 2021, which allowed the public to hire St Botolphs Hall and St Marks Church Centre. This provided a total of £6,589 of income, an increase of just over £4,000 on the 2020 figures. Fund raising during 2021 increased on the 2020 value by £2,300. As a result of the Stewardship campaign and more people returning to Church, your Donations increased by £5,600. The overall income in the Day-to-Day account amounted to £39,200.00 The Day-to-Day expenditure of the Parish decreased by £13,800.00, which was due to a saving of £2,000 relating to St Botolph’s Hall utilities, £4,000 relating to Gas for St Botolph’s Church and St Marks Church Centre, £2,000 relating to General Maintenance cost for St Botolph’s Church. A small legacy was received from the Estate of Kathleen Campbell, which will go towards the cost of St Botolph’s Hall refurbishment. During the first quarter of 2021, major work was undertaken on St Botolph’s Chancel Roof and Buttresses, total cost of this project was £134, 000. The funding of this project was provided by a Grant from Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage, a Grant from Friends of Kent Churches, along with VAT that was recovered from Listed Places of Worship. Last year, the PCC paid as it’s Parish Contribution to the Diocese the sum of £5,000.00 and at their December 2021 meeting, the PCC agreed that the amount which they should offer for 2022 would be £6,000. Clearly the Parish Finances ended in a better shape than what was forecast in the 2021 Budget, which your PCC agreed in October 2020. Looking at Parish Finances for 2022, providing there are no restrictions put in place, then the outlook appears to be much more promising. Careful management of the Parish resources, by your PCC will only make this possible. Colin Taylor – Treasurer – 27[th] January 2022 Page | 22
