1. Introduction

St Peter’s Church in Vauxhall is a mission initiative established by the Bishop of Southwark under a Bishop’s Mission Order (BMO) on 18 March 2020. On 10 June 2020, a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) was established to provide the necessary governance structure for the mission initiative.

Under the BMO, the mission initiative has responsibility for the St Peter’s church building and the congregation based there. The church is situated geographically within the Ecclesiastical Parish of North Lambeth.

This annual report of the CIO covers the reporting period from 1 January 2024 until 31 December 2024.

The CIO is not a parish church and so is not subject to the reporting framework for Church of England parishes set out in the Church Representation Rules. However, the trustees are mindful that the CIO performs many of the same functions as a parish church. Moreover, the trustees are elected by and accountable to the church’s congregants.

To that end, the trustees have agreed to submit several reports (all contained in this document) to an annual meeting of the church’s congregants. They put into context the financial statements of the CIO and relate them to the wider life of the church. They set out a review of the past year and link the financial plans of the church to its vision for the future.

This document also serves as the annual report of the CIO to the Charity Commission. The trustees have considered the Charities Acts, other associated regulations and the applicable Statements of Recommended Practice when drafting this document.

This annual report has been prepared by several authors and was reviewed and adopted by the Board of Trustees by resolution passed on Sunday 4[th] May.

This report is signed below by Rev Michael John, Minister-in-Charge and ex-officio chair of the Board of Trustees, on behalf of the board by way of confirmation of the passing of this resolution.

2. Aims and Purposes

As set out in the CIO’s constitution, the object of the CIO is:

“the advancement of religion in accordance with the tenets and practices of the Church of England for the public benefit including (but not limited to):

promoting the Gospel through the growth and development of Saint Peter’s Church, Vauxhall

ancillary or incidental educational activities; and

other associated activities for the benefit of the community.”

The CIO pursues this object in accordance with the objectives of the mission initiative for which it is responsible for managing. As set out in the Bishop’s Mission Order, these are:

“To further the mission of the Gospel and the Church of England in North Lambeth, particularly:

the establishment of thriving worshipping communities, to include two congregations worshipping at Saint Peter’s Church, Vauxhall;

a congregation using forms of worship with traditional catholic aspects of the Church of England (“the traditional congregation”); and

a congregation using forms of worship from the contemporary evangelical tradition of the Church of England (“the contemporary congregation”)

sharing in the reconciling mission of God in Christ through evangelistic outreach; and

community engagement meeting the needs of local people physically or emotionally, promoting the common good and having a particular regard for the vulnerable and marginalised and overlooked in society.

The trustees support the Minister-in-Charge, Rev. Michael John, and the wider staff team in this mission, which we summarise in our vision statement:

“To carry the love of Jesus to the heart of London.”

3. Objectives and Activities

The trustees are committed to supporting St Peter’s Vauxhall “To Carry the love of Jesus to the heart of London”. This means each person may know the gospel of Christ personally through God’s Word, prayer, and renewal of the Holy Spirit. We want to see lives transformed not just individually but as a community, as we seek to work out what being the family of God truly means and how Christ’s Church should live.

We are committed to the mission of Christ which is to reconcile people to himself and while we can never do more than Christ to show his love to people, we believe it is our mission to try. Our response to the Good News is to play an active part in our city, seeking to respond to the needs of our area through relational justice and radical hospitality. When planning our activities for the year we have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, and particularly the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.

2024 started with a full staff team and we have been encouraged by the direction of travel, enthusiasm and anticipation of the church family. We want to thank everyone who serves in big and small ways, in making St Peter’s a spiritual home for so many people.

We started 2024 continuing Breakfast Club, however at Easter we decided to pause this ministry as many of our refugee families who attended were moved out of the area and the homeless we were engaging with also moved on. 2024 was a consolidation year, and this meant our community engagement and relational justice did not evolve. However, Manuel and some from within the church continued to be missional and engage people in the community. One of the striking disappointments of the year was our lack of growth in relational justice as a church community.

The musical worship of St Peter’s saw real encouragement at both services. Anna Wardell, Will Fraser & Heidi Dean supported the growth and capacity of the choir. Evensong and larger services, such as Maundy Thursday and Carols by Candlelight, were a huge success. The involvement of the choir at the 11am service has helped the church to worship God more fully and increased attendance. It has been wonderful to have Theo Powell lead the worship team at the 4pm. This has encouraged the wider musicians and brought a greater sense of stability and depth to the worship. Additionally, the 11am cake rota, after the service, provides a welcomed opportunity to engage with each other as a church community. The 4pm children’s ministry, led by David Hutchinson, and supported by a wonderful group of volunteers remains a bedrock of our 4pm service and is loved and enjoy by all our children who attend.

‘St Peter’s House Lunches’ remained a huge success over the year as we welcomed people from all our services, both newcomers and those already members, into the vicarage for Sunday lunch at various points over the year. We have really valued this time to eat together, united as one church family and share more about our vision for St Peter’s. A huge thank you to David Earley, Emma John & Scarlet Cole for cooking over the year.

2024 has been a year of consolidation after much transition and this has led to stability. However, this solid foundation must be built upon in the year ahead, especially in our relational justice, Sunday attendance and evangelism. We ended the year having seen growth of Sunday attendance, successful Christmas services and excitement for the Church Weekend Away in early 2025. We are believing and praying for all that is to come.

4. Achievements and Performance

4.1 Wardens’ Report

St Peter's has continued to flourish, with increased attendance and a deepening of faith within our congregation.

It is so exciting to see how St Peter’s children’s ministry is thriving. Thank you so much to all the fantastic volunteers who do an incredible and important job inspiring the next generation, particularly David Hutchinson who continues to lead the kids team.

Another joy has been the worship and music. The choir has been a huge blessing in services throughout the year and a huge thank you to Will Fraser, Anna Wardell and Heidi Kinderman for their continued passion and commitment. The contemporary worship goes from strength to strength under the leadership of Theo Powell and it continues to impact the congregation at the 4pm. A big thank you to all those involved in the leading of our sung worship.

The Lent fasting course provided a powerful opportunity for spiritual discipline. I am delighted that so many of the congregation took part and showed such unwavering commitment, not just in participating but also in supporting one another.

Our Home Groups remain a cornerstone of our church life, offering spaces for fellowship, prayer and biblical exploration. These gatherings have been instrumental in nurturing relationships and allowing for authentic spiritual growth within our church family.

I want to express my heartfelt thanks to Charlie Wacher for his dedicated service as a community warden at St Peter’s. Charlie's wisdom, servant heart and faithful stewardship played a key role in advancing the mission of our church.

While St Peter’s has faced some challenges this year, I am hopeful that we have now navigated our way through, and I am so grateful for your prayers. They have made all the difference.

As we look ahead, I am very much looking forward to us all building on the strong foundations laid in previous years, and trusting in God's guidance as we move ahead in faith and service.

Following the elections at the 2024 Annual Meeting, Charlie Wacher, Hattie Compston, Flo Howell, Samuel King, Sarah -Jane Elvin, David Hutchinson, Emma Harvey, Aderonke Tomori and Emily Leigh-Pemberton continued as trustees with Marché Mackey, Esther Woo and Sam Hermes stepping down.

Benji Walton and Francis Dean were newly elected and took up office in on 1[st] June 2024.

The trustees met five times (January, March, July, September, November) in 2024 and the Standing Committee met four additional times (February, April, June, and October).

(b) Structure and Policies

The Standing Committee, comprising the Minister-in-Charge, Community Wardens, Treasurer and Secretary, continue to set the strategic direction of the church, manage its day-to-day finances and implement its human resources policies.

No constitutional amendments were made in 2024, the following policy were reviewed and adopted:

Safeguarding Policy

Trustees additionally approved the creation of a committee for choral worship to be established, with the aim of supporting the growing ministry of the choir.

(c) Services

The 11 and Evensong

The 11am service has exceeded 80 people during the course of 2024 and the community is flourishing. The choir and choral worship at the 11am service has continued to bless the congregation, leading worship at Evensong Services, as well as Carols by Candlelight.

The 4

Music at the 4pm has continued to strengthen and bless our congregations, led by Theo Powell. Attendance at the 4pm service has remained strong throughout 2024 and we remain grateful to Emma Harvey, Manuel Redondo, Naomi Madavan and David Hutchinson for leading kids sessions and the team of helpers who have supported our Children's ministry with energy and love.

Trustees were supportive of the Church Weekend Away and were able to input into the planning for this successful event, including approving a bursary scheme to ensure that cost was not a barrier to people attending.

(d) Relationship with North Lambeth Parish

Trustees have continued to support our Community Warden and Micheal in navigating the BMO’s relationship with North Lambeth Parish and the Diocese. We continue to pray for and seek clarity on the use of St Peter’s Basement and our relationships with NLP.

Works included:

Emma John Church Coordinator

4.5 Report on Safeguarding

There were a small number of safeguarding concerns in 2024, mostly logistical matters revolving around the best way to contact parents when necessary. All matters were resolved satisfactorily using the safer church guidance.

Matthew Link Safeguarding Officer

4.6 Report on the Proceedings of North Lambeth Deanery Synod

We continue to meet and engage with churches from across the North Lambeth Deanery and build bridges wherever we can. Over the last year there have been elections for Diocesan Synod, opportunities to connect with those across the deanery and important conversations such as on Safeguarding across the Diocese. It has also been helpful to hear news from General Synod on ongoing national matters. We would like to express our thanks to Jamie Mulvaney for chairing North Lambeth Deanery Synod over the last year who has now gone on to take up a post at St Michael's Chester Square.

5. Financial Review

The church's financial position for 2024 is positive. The church has continued to generate a healthy income stream through congregational giving and church income. Regular giving has remained resilient to the ongoing cost-of-living difficulties. The initial disruptions resulting from the move to the Parish Giving Scheme appear to be small and are expected to be largely outweighed by the long-term increased efficiency.

Income

The main source of church income is congregational giving (approximately £123,000). This is very encouraging and gives us confidence that the church's finances are sustainable. The Trustees want to thank everyone in the congregation who supports the life of the church, so generously, in this way.

Another source of income is renting out the church. In 2024 we received almost £23,000 from hiring out the building to different choirs, orchestras and for one-off events. This is higher than in 2023 and we hope to be able to continue to grow the use of the church building by the local community in 2025. The Trustees would like to recognise and thank Emma John for her work in growing this income stream.

Expenditure

Overall expenditure in 2024 was higher than in 2023. We increased the size of the staff team through the year which enabled us to advance several ministries. We were also able to increase our giving to the Diocese as part of our mission outreach.

In prior years we have accrued a healthy reserve fund, and the trustees made the decision to continue putting some of these funds to good use in 2024, whilst acknowledging the need to ensure sufficient reserves are retained to enable financial resilience. The trustees continue to consider further work on the Church building which also could be funded from our reserves.

The 2025 budget shows a marginal deficit, in large part because of the Trustees’ desire to release some reserved funds to enable the continued flourishing of the work and life of the Church. We expect expenditure to increase further as we invest in new outreach projects to further the ministry of the church, decide how we can better support charitable efforts outside St Peter's, and invest in the fabric of the building itself.

Donations were again made in 2024 to other charities that St Peter’s continues to support. The Trustees have agreed to commission a group to oversee and govern the Charities that St. Peter’s financially supports from 2025 onwards.

Reserves

In 2024 the Trustees voted to move the Church’s reserve fund to a new account offering a higher rate of interest and with a new provider whose investment principles align more closely with our ethical and moral views as a Church. This was executed within 2024, and the Church’s main day-to-day account remains unchanged.

6. Funds held as Custodian Trustees on behalf of others

There are none.

7. Plans for Future Periods

We want to carry the love of Jesus to the heart of London and are excited about the year ahead.

The excitement for the church weekend away at the end of January is a huge moment as it is the first time we have gone away together, since the formation of the BMO. We are hugely thankful to Emma John for all her hard work in making this possible.

Whilst prayer and spiritual renewal remain our bedrock as a church for the year ahead, our specific focuses over the next eighteen months to two year will be in three areas; church growth, church released, church procedures.

Church Growth – Alpha, Welcome, Evangelism

Church Enabled – Innovation, Improvement, Staffing

Church Procedures – Leadership, Bottle-neck, Processes

We want everyone desiring to see St Peter’s grow and therefore need the whole church praying, but also being involved somehow in Alpha, Welcome & Evangelism.

We have a committed, energetic church full of people with ideas of how the church can be involved in relational justice. We want to encourage those innovative ideas so that people feel enabled and supported by St Peter’s to do what God has laid on their hearts within the vision of the whole church. This also means using the gifts and talents of the church family to improve in all areas in the life of the church. Finally, making sure the staff support the work of the church (the people) rather doing all the work of the church.

Finally, we're working behind the scenes to improve procedures: developing leadership pipelines across all ministry areas, addressing any bottlenecks, and streamlining processes for God's glory.

We look forward to three weeks of intentional prayer over June, between Pentecost and St Peter’s Day.

A huge moment in the life and story of St Peter’s is the arrival of Kadiatou Ly as curate at Petertide 2025. We are excited for all she will bring and enhance in the St Peter’s community.

We are hugely excited by what God has in store for us and we look forward to carrying the love of Jesus to the heart of London.

8. Risk Management

St Peter’s’ trustees and staff seek to identify and mitigate the key risks that they encounter in all aspects of the church’s activities. These include key risks to the church’s spiritual life, finances, statutory and legal duties, operations and reputation.

Both the nature of St Peter’s as a growing church and the coronavirus pandemic mean that the steps required to mitigate these risks so that they fall within an acceptable risk tolerance often need to be reviewed and changed.

St Peter’s has in place a wide range of policies and procedures to ensure that all such risks are effectively managed. Examples include the safeguarding policies for children and vulnerable adults; the financial policies and procedures to prevent misappropriation of funds, effective controls over expenditure and regular reporting; the data protection policy ensuring proper use of congregation members’ details; regularly reviewed risk assessments for events and services, and a programme of rolling repairs to ensure that the church buildings remain safe and in good repair.

9. Structure, Governance and Management

The Saint Peter’s Vauxhall Mission Initiative is a foundation Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). Its governing document is its constitution, which was last amended on 13[th] March 2023.

The amended constitution provides that trustees are appointed in the following ways:

Ex-Officio Trustees

The Clerk in Holy Orders appointed as the Leader of the Mission Initiative by the Bishop of Southwark is exofficio the chair of trustees of the CIO until they cease to hold that office.

Any other Clerk in Holy Orders appointed (other than as Leader) to the Mission Initiative by the Bishop of Southwark is ex-officio a trustee of the CIO until they cease to hold that office.

Persons elected as lay members of the Deanery Synod of North Lambeth by the members of the Mission Initiative Roll of St Peter’s church, Vauxhall, are ex-officio trustees of the CIO until they cease to hold that office.

Elected Trustees

Trustees are also elected at an annual meeting of congregants who are listed on the Mission Initiative Roll. The roll is compiled in accordance with rules 27A-27D of the Church Representation Rules.

Each annual meeting may elect:

Two Community Wardens, one Secretary and one Treasurer, each for a term of one year,

Ordinary trustees, for a term of three years. There shall be six ordinary trustees at any one time with two being up for election each year.

Further ordinary trustees, for a term of one year, to fill a vacancy created when a person is elected to the board in two different capacities (e.g. where a person is an ordinary trustee and is subsequently elected as Community Warden).

Co-Opted Trustees

The board of trustees, by resolution passed at a properly convened meeting, may appoint a new trustee to fill a casual vacancy created when an elected trustee resigns. If, at the next annual meeting, the term of the resigning trustee still has more than a year remaining, the annual meeting may then elect the co-opted trustee or some other person to finish that term.

The 2024 Annual Meeting will elect one lay member of the Deanery Synod of North Lambeth to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Sam Hermes. In addition, Marche Mackey and Esther Woo’s terms as trustees came to an end, we shall be electing 2 more trustees shall be elected for a term of 3 years.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ST PETER’S VAUXHALL MISSION INITIATIVE

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Richard Hill FCA Date: 23/10/2025 For and on behalf of Griffin Stone Moscrop & Co 21-27 Lamb’s Conduit Street London WC1N 3GS
