REPORTS FOR THE 2025 ANNUAL MEETING

7. FINANCIAL OVERVIEW 2024 - CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS P&L

Incoming Resources

Overall incoming resources showed a decrease in 2024 of £268,243 to £293,229 (2023: £561,472).

Much of the decrease can be attributed to a reduction in legacies (lower by £173,756 in 2024) and grants (lower by £78,440 in 2024) received. VAT recoverable was also lower compared with the prior year but this was due to lower expenditure incurred on major repairs and renovations to the church buildings.

Recurring sources of income (excluding gift aid, VAT recoverable and insurance claims) showed a favourable increase in the year to £169,852 (2023: £159,732). This is due to a concerted effort to make full use of the facilities available including the church buildings themselves and the car parks. As a percentage this is an increase of 6.3%.

Resources Used

Overall expenditure in 2024 was £360,851 (2023: £385,241).

As with the prior year there was significant expenditure on repairs and renovations to the church buildings of £124,294 (2023: £181,043). Extraordinary expenditure included £16,475 for works on the church roof and £8,225 for a replacement boiler in the annex at St Augustin’s, £28,060 for a replacement boiler, £11,748 for repairs to the reredos and £5,000 on CCTV installation at St Peters church and £48,302 for high level repairs to the masonry and also to the Rose Window at St Stephens church.

During the year funds of £28,255 (2023: £77) were donated. The majority of this was a restricted amount of £23,718 which was passed by St Peter’s to the St Peter’s Choral Foundation, a new charity formed for the purpose of utilising the restricted funds and raising more for similar use.

When these exceptional costs are excluded resources used across the parish showed only a slight increase in the year being £208,302 (2023: £204,121). As a percentage this is an increase of 2.0%.

8

As is to be expected in the current economic climate some costs such as the buildings running expenses £55,901 (2023: £47,488) and salary costs £35,539 (2023: £29,552) increased compared to the previous year.

However, these increases were offset by lower diocesan quota costs £41,574 (2023: £45,302) and the release of an accrual for PRS licenses of £10,000 back to the profit and loss account. Over the last few years invoices have not been received for these costs, but provisions have been made but it is now thought that the costs won’t be incurred.

Major renovations are continuing in 2025 so extraordinary costs are expected to continue for at least one more accounting period.

Net Movement in Funds

Overall funds have decreased by £65,076 or -9.5% to £621,133 (2023: £686,209). This is made up of:

It should be noted that included within the net incoming resources £110,482 (2023: £142,126) relate to restricted funds.

As described above the deficit has been caused by ongoing extraordinary expenditure and the donation made to the associated charity. This expenditure is expected to continue in the current financial year, so funds are expected to fall further as essential renovations are carried out to the church buildings.

The trustees are fully confident that the funds available are sufficient to carry out these works and by the end of 2025 all three church buildings should be in a good state of repair.

When the effect of extraordinary items such as income from legacies £18,426 (2023: £192,182), insurance claims £nil (2023: £10,330) and grants £40,249 (2023: £118,689) and expenditure on donations £28,255 (2023: £77) and renovations £124,294 (2023: £181,043) are removed the parish would have made a profit of £26,252 (2023: £36,156).

9

Balance Sheet

Debtors increased in the year to £43,810 (2023: £33,894) and creditors and accruals increased to £48,173 (2023: £30,810).

Finally, investment assets of £207,686 (2023: £260,441) and cash at bank and in hand of £417,538 (2023: £422,412) showed a decrease compared to the previous year. This is very much to do with the ongoing extraordinary costs being incurred on the church buildings.

However, the parish still has bank funds available as at 31 December 2024 that provide 2.0x annual expenditure (when excluding the exceptional items discussed above) (2023: 2.05x).

As of 19th March 2025, the Electoral Rolls for BTCP were cleared to facilitate the 5 yearly renewal.

As at the clearance the Parish Electoral Roll was: 200

St Augustin’s 37 (down 3) St Peter’s 126 (up 4) St Stephen’s 37

On May 4th the new Electoral Roll stood at 150:

St Augustin’s 34 St Peter’s 85 St Stephen’s 31

Although there were losses across all three churches, the substantial loss has come from St Peter’s Church. Although some loss can be put down to members just not getting around to completing a form in time or some passing away during the year, the loss at St Peter’s is due mainly to people moving for various reasons. Some have moved for study, others for work and some for retirement, although some have not really returned post lockdown. On a positive note, there are many new names on the roll showing the change in the diversity of the church’s profile with children’s attendance growing and many new faces that are becoming regular worshippers, that will eventually become members of the ER in the future.

Special thanks as ever to Lisa for her assistance and expertise. Thanks also to both Barbara Sparling and Colin Beck for maintaining the rolls for their churches.

11. PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL SECRETARY’S REPORT 2024

The Annual Parochial Church Meeting for 2024 , was held on Sunday 26[th] May 2024, at 12.15pm in St Peter’s Church. Since then, the full BTCP PCC has met on six occasions:

Tuesday 9[th] July 2024 Monday 4[th] November 2024

Tuesday 14[th] January 2025 (SPCM to pass resolution for Bishops Council) Monday 3[rd] March 2025 (SPCM to vote in the new PCC) Monday 25[th] March 2025 Thursday 8[th] May 2025

And then conducted business and discussed various matters for more urgent approvals via email on eleven occasions:

15[th] June 2024 9[th] September 2024 13[th] September 2024 11[th] October 2024 12[th] December 2024 12[th] December 2024 3[rd] January 2025 12[th] January 2025 20[th] February 2025 7[th] March 2025 25[th] April 2025

During the past year, the PCC has continued to review and improve its governance of the whole parish, increasing its levels of monitoring and scrutiny of finance and all buildings of the parish.

The PCC would like to formally thank James Shutler, our Independent Examiner, for his hard work and diligence in assisting the church treasurers in keeping our parish financially in order.

Through careful negotiation of our insurance, we managed to secure an insurance policy that despite the break-in and damage to some quatrefoil windows at St Stephen’s, plus the overall increase in global insurance premiums, was a minimal increase of just 4% overall compared to 2023.

Our CMF payments were paid in full by all three churches after we negotiated a reduction in our allocation for 2024 of just over 8% and will continue to negotiate hard for continued savings in 2025, although the diocesan financial pressures following their support of our parish during the interregnum seems unlikely. During the interregnum, it was agreed with the Diocese that the PCC should contribute to paying for one service each week for clergy

cover, which although is a change from the old system of none, is still representing a saving compared to the number of services we were having to pay for whilst the past incumbent was in post and not taking the full quota of services, so the parish has made savings on that front this year and has not had to incur the expenses of travel, mobile phone and phone/internet at the rectory, plus no personal expenditure for retreats or course fees. With the licensing of our new priest in charge, Nick, this agreement will need to be renegotiated to cover our parish during the settling in period and we hope that the diocese will continue to support us for the coming year.

Brenda Price, bookkeeper and treasurer for St Stephen’s resigned her post in December but luckily for St Stephen’s Catherine Philip, who has a finance background in tax stepped in to take up the reins and is already working with the parish finance team to make it a more streamlined process and bring it into line with the other two churches, so we look forward to greater collaboration in 2025 across the parish.

Key repairs to all three of our church buildings were discussed throughout the year. The annexe roof at St Augustin’s was replaced, the new boilers and associated building repairs took place in St Peter’s, costing in excess of £50,000. Alongside this project, the main altar reredos restoration, lych gate repairs and smaller roofing and guttering repairs to stop the rain from finding its way inside all took place and plans began to come together for other big projects, like Parry’s Café, toilets, disability accessibility, heating and rainwater goods to name a few. Essential window repairs at St Stephen’s finally began, following the vandalism incident. The John Ker money was finally released to St Augustin’s and the church roof replacement project is well underway, with the necessary planning and faculty permissions granted after some delays, and this will now commence throughout the winter and be finished in the spring. Essential stone and windows works began in December at St Stephen’s, to rectify damage that has been reported on in the last three or four quinquennial inspections. Our thanks must go to Jane MacDonald, who as church warden, has worked tirelessly across the parish to ensure these huge projects come to fruition, with careful contract negotiations and close working relationships with out partners at both the DAC, the diocesan registrars and our QI architects, as well as our stone restorers and roofing contractors. These relationships have been key to unlocking key discounts and costeffective repair timelines, saving us thousands of pounds.

However, these huge costs that all repairs will incur both in 2024 and into 2025, along with the continuing fall in income due the financial crisis biting household expenditures, has brought funding streams again into sharp focus for the PCC and this will continue to be on the main agenda to address during 2025.

My thanks to the PCC for their continued efforts in keeping our parish moving forward.

Lisa Babb - PCC Secretary

12. CHURCH WARDENS’ REPORT 2024

The end of this calendar year saw us welcoming our new Vicar Canon Nick and his wonderful family which has come as such a great relief. We thank all of the clergy team that have faithfully served us throughout the interregnum and will be sad not to see you all on such a regular basis now that Nick is in post but hope that you will still be able to come and take part in events as well as services. We also wish to thank our Area Dean, The Rev’d Canon Michael Smith for the support that he has continued to give us during the year. We hope the arrival of Nick will enable the vision as it should always be - united fellowship across our Town Centre Parish. We look forward to his fellowship, leadership and friendship over many years to come. Inclusion and not exclusion. Kindness and outreach. Together as one.

Grounds

St Peter’s grounds continue to be to be attended to every Tuesday morning between 9am and 2pm. We would like to thank Ted Taylor, Mike and Carolyn Emsley, Steve Jones, Duveen Pierce, John Barrett and Alex Cammidge. All are welcome at our regular Tuesday morning gardening group.

The grounds at St Augustin are still beautifully kept. Many hours of hard work go into these, so our huge thanks go to Ruth Beasant who is the gardener there.

I know that Ruth Marshall is looking for help at St Stephen’s grounds as Faithworks ended their association. Please get in contact with her.

Finances

I am delighted to report that once again the BTCP Common Mission Fund has been paid in full by all of our churches this year and we thank Mark Holiday for another year of services as our Parish Treasurer and Jame Shutler as our auditor.

At St Peters we thank Lisa Babb and Jane MacDonald who do our accounts in our online system and our Gift Aid and VAT reclaim officer Ronalyn Bichard.

We also thank Ruth Beasant and Lisa Babb at St Augustin together with Brenda Price at St Stephen for their dedication to their treasurer roles and we were saddened when Brenda resigned in December from her role in St Stephen’s and thank her for her long service there. We would welcome anyone onto the finance team who could help share the roles as it amounts to a few days each month.

28

PCC

Due to delays at the Diocese end the Team Structure was not legally dismantled in 2024 but will go before Bishops Council in January 2025. We would like to thank all of the members of the three DCCs for their faithful service and ‘can do’ attitude and hope that they will remain as committed to the parish once the formal structure is dismantled as each church still needs its faithful soldiers. And our thanks goes to our Deputy Wardens, Janet Lawrence, Ronalyn Bichard and Virginia Beck, for their support and hard work over the years. The role of deputy warden will no longer be in place once the DCCs are dissolved, although the work they do continues, so thank you all.

It was agreed however that this year we would work through the PCC structure with a Fabric subcommittee to deal with the buildings themselves. Fabric is dealt with by Jane MacDonald, Ruth Marshall and Janet Lawrence. We cannot thank them enough for the sheer amount of work this has entailed. At St Peters, the lych gate was repaired, the reredos cleaned and completely restored, major organ work done and the spire and tower restoration work finished. We also installed new boilers with huge attendant building works. This has led to a more beautiful and warmer church! At St Augustin we geared up for the full replacement of the lining and battens under the roof together with attendant installation of full roof insulation. At St Stephen we replaced Quatre and Cinq foil windows damaged in a break in and started a quarter of a million pounds stone, ferramenta and stained-glass windows restoration project. All of these works will be completed by the spring of 2025.

We would personally like to thank Richard Streatfield and Sarah Feltham at the Diocese for their continued advice and support with the many issues this faculty work has raised plus our amazing architects Louise Salman and Christian King who have attended countless meetings, provided sage counsel and obtained planning permissions where needed - and got them against incredible odds.

Also worthy of special mention is our roofer Mike Rickman who has coordinated essential coping and other stone work repairs at St Augustin and done so much additional work for free, plus Philip Scourer, our dedicated stone conservator who has negotiated to get us the best work and prices for essential ferramenta replacement and managed to secure the services of the very best stained-glass window restorer, thus ensuring a beautiful job will be done for St Stephen.

Music

We thank our Directors of Music, organists, choristers and choirs - with special mention to Sean Tucker, Duncan Courts, Caren Courts, Neil Sissons and Jacquie Uren, for their unique talents.

29

St Peters Choral Foundation (CIO) received funds left in trust for the music department which will fund an ambitious musical programme involving lay clerks and a song school that it is hoped to launch in 2025. We always welcome new members to the choirs and volunteers to arrange music and other trips are most welcome.

Outreach

A big thank you again to Chris and Lisa for all the concerts and events that they arrange at our churches. These truly shows our community outreach and focus. St Peters had a record-breaking year for number of external events, and we are pleased that St Stephen’s is now hosting some events which bring folk into that church. The Gin & Vodka Festival was a huge success bringing in over six hundred people through the door of a church they never knew was there and also raised a significant amount of money for the church, and they will hopefully be returning in 2026! Also a thank you to Roger and Jackie Uren for their continued event programme over at St Augustin’s. These events show we are open to all and help pay the bills of course. We would like to thank Marion Trimby who still runs her souvenir stall and all the helpers at Parrys Café, both at St Peters. It is so important to have our churches open for anyone who needs to come in and find quiet time with God so thank you to all across the parish who give up their time to open and lock the churches each day.

As ever, Bournemouth Town Centre Parish is under pressure financially and is ever needing volunteers to help renew and refresh existing ones both at the local church level and as part of our tireless commitment to mission in our town centre. It is true to say that our greatest, most powerful, most transformational resource remains its congregation. We thank all church pastoral visitors, sides persons, coffee folk, sacristy assistants, servers, chalice assistants, welcomers, cleaners, flower arrangers, readers, intercessors and all volunteers in whatever role for their unstinting hard work.

And finally, we once again thank Lisa. This second year of Interregnum has seen her continued doubling of efforts across all three churches to ensure worship continues as normal. As PCC secretary and operational lead she has worked tirelessly, usually over six days a week, to make sure that all our i’s are dotted, our t’s are crossed, ensuring we have every legal protection and is the welcoming face of our parish.

Her skills in producing all artwork for events across the Parish are amazing and she diligently promotes each and every one. She remains our point person for all six sets of accounts, working with our Independent Examiner to ensure all accounts reflect correct categorisations etc. as well as all invoicing across the parish, including all events and also car parking. She deals with all returns and payments to the Diocese, ensures all clergy rotas are drawn up and that they are paid, and is our point person for all weddings, funerals and hires, not to mention central procurement of insurances, utility contracts and various church supplies from wine to toilet roll! Her fundraising last year alone has helped our parish receive thousands of pounds in much needed funds and

30

she remains on constant look out for money saved and money earned, spotting various grants that the parish has benefitted from. Thank you from everyone in the parish.

We are so very grateful to you all, as every year.

Chris Mayne and Jane MacDonald Church (Parish) Wardens

13. DEANERY SYNOD REPORT 2024

Although the Deanery Synod met during 2024 (as required by Church Regulations) the Area Dean Canon Michael Smith remained anxious to stimulate informed discussion on matters of common concern by inviting guest speakers to address the Synod and extended an invitation to non-synodical members of our congregations to attend these meetings.

Therefore the meetings were not formal discussions of mission and ministry as used to be the case, so no real discussions were had of that nature during 2024.

We are grateful that Ruth Marshall has now joined the team, and we thank Stephen and Helen for their years of service to our parish.
