Structure, governance and management
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation rules. All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. Customarily, the Chair of the PCC is taken by the Priest-in-Charge or by and elected Vice-Chair in their absence.
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 PCC meets regularly in order to fulfil its obligations. Matters are attended to by correspondence where necessary between meetings.
Aims and purposes
St Mary and St Eanswythe with St Saviour PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the priest-in-charge in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC works from the basis of ‘Worship: Community: Heritage’ as it seeks to focus its work and mission and has adopted a Mission Action Plan based around these three headings, in line with the wider mission strategy of the Diocese of Canterbury.
Objectives and activities
The Church exists to make Jesus Christ known in Folkestone through worship, fellowship and mission. It looks to encourage its members and the people of the community of which it is a part, to realise their full potential as children of God. It also has the responsibility of maintaining the fabric of the Parish Church of St Mary and St Eanswythe, Folkestone a Grade II[*] listed building.
Review of achievements and performance
There were 49 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll at the time of the full revision in April 2025, 20 of whom are resident within the parish. One name was added during the year meaning a total of 50 by the end of 2025. The average weekly attendance in the parish was 53 adults and 6 under-16s. One adult and seventeen children were baptised. 13 children and 2 adults were Confirmed by Bishop Rose. Two weddings were held. There was one funeral in church, one at the crematorium and one graveside service at the cemetery.

REPORT OF THE PCC - CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Review of achievements and performance - continued
The full PCC met six times during the year. Members of the PCC are on the St Augustine’s Joint Council which manages the St Augustine’s Centre together with representatives from the Greek Orthodox congregation there.
The church played host to a number of concerts, services and community events in 2025 to serve its mission and responsibilities as a parish church. Members of the church community regularly visit our church schools to provide acts of collective worship and the church has a particularly close relationship with St Eanswythe’s Church of England Primary School who visit weekly for Collective Worship and termly eucharists and other acts of worship in church.
The priest-in-charge has served as chaplain to the Town Mayor of Folkestone in 2025/26 and the church has discharged its function as the Civic Church of Folkestone with the Town Sunday service in June and the Town Mayor’s Schools Christmas Carol Service in December.
We are grateful to The Revd John Tomlinson and The Revd Ben Rutt-Field for their continuing contribution to the worship of the parish. Vicky Friedrich was licensed as a Lay Reader in September 2025. She helps at services, weddings, baptisms and funerals. We are grateful to Jenny Coleman for her work as treasurer; to Tom Bertram and Andrew Plested for their roles as Churchwardens. The PCC is also deeply grateful to the band of volunteers who give so generously of their time and resources in order to allow us to pursue the ministry and outreach that we do – sometimes unseen but always greatly valued.
Safeguarding duties and responsibilities
Our Priest-in-Charge, Parish Safeguarding Officer, PCC Lead, and Parish Disclosure Officer work to ensure that our parish procedures, organisation and pastoral practices comply with our duty under Section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 to have regard to the House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. The action plan arising from the annual appraisal of these tasks is included below. The PCC has also begun to use the national Church of England Safeguarding Dashboard as a means of checking and recording its progress in expected tasks and implementation of good practice.
The duty of safeguarding is incumbent not just upon the PCC but upon the whole church community as we seek to protect all God’s people and to promote a safer church.
There are also statutory duties that the PCC must keep in good order and up to date, particularly in matters of policy, implementation, training and good practice in relation to safeguarding.
Having completed an annual review in preparation for the 2026 APCM, we have identified several areas which require attention and work over the coming year:
New parish safeguarding officer
- The PCC has appointed Elaine Furminger as the Parish Safeguarding Officer with effect from March 2026. This role will require some work in getting the new PSO up-to-speed and to begin to respond to changes in good practice as they arise.
Training
-
All PCC members must have DBS checks (renewed every 3 years) and up-to-date training as required by the Church of England.
-
Others who undertake specified roles will need to complete safeguarding training as specified by Church of England guidance.
-
A log will be maintained of training and DBS checks.

Statement of the PCC's responsibilities
The PCC is responsible for all parish finances, its management and control, including the appointment of a treasurer. While it may delegate some of its duties, this does not remove its legal responsibilities.
Charity law requires the PCC as trustees of the church to prepare an annual report and financial statements that give a true and fair view of the church’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. The PCC is also required to ensure that these are subjected to an annual independent examination or audit and to present these to the APCM in accordance with the Church Representation Rules.
In preparing these financial statements, the PCC are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
- State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departure disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
Prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the church will continue in operation.
The PCC are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the church and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the church (other than the fabric and ornaments of the church for which the churchwardens have particular responsibility) and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
