Trustees Report for the year ended 31" December 2023
REPORT OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL TO THE ANNUAL PAROCHIAL CHURCH
MEEfiNG 2024
Most of thi5 report Co￿r5 the period since the last annual meeting in April 2023. But because the
Church of England'5 accounting year is the calendar year. the accounts and financial commentary
relate to calendar year 2023.
Aims and objectives
The Parochial Church Council has responsibilities under both churth and charity law. As the
governing body of Holy Trinity church, its role is to cooperate wlth the clergy and other members of
the ministry team in promotlng the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and
ecumenical. As the Council Is a re8iStered charlty. its members also ha¥e responslbllltles as trustees
of the charity.
A5 a church. our core prlnclples are to be Christ<entred, Bible-based and Splrlt-led. Our core volues
are compassion. courage and creativity. Our mi55ion is to a(h￿ve numerical growth, spiritual depth
and communSty renewal. In pursuit of these aims. our business at our eight meetings over the past
year has focused not only on current thurch Itfe but atso on our asplratlons forthe future through
Project Arclight. described further below.
People
The Council has enjoyed working with the Vicar. the Revd Abl Todd, the Curate, the Revd Jonathan
Huff, and the Chlldren's. Familles and Youth Pastor, lssy Williamson over the past year. Thanks to
the great energy and enthusiasm which they have all contlnued to brln8 to their ministry, the
breadth and depth of our actlvitles at Holy Trinrty have been steadity increasing. A5 a re5uIt, we
have been blessed in all three OSp￿ts of our mission, with new people joinin8 our church, some
comln8 to falth for the flrst tlme. and a deepenSn8 engagement wlth the local communlty.
Warm thanks also to Simon Todd for the skill and dedKation whith he continues to bring to parlsh
admlni5tration ond above all to the leadefshSp of Project Arcllght. The value of havin8 such an
effective pair of hands on the tiller 15 becoming increasingly apparent as we move into the complex
planning stages of the proJert- Our Intern5. Vktor Verdan and latterly Egor Pantslukhou. have also
made valued contdbutlons.
There wlll be changes to the team in the coming months. Issy announced a while back that she
would be leaving her role in Juty to explore new pastures. and we have recently heard that Jonathan
is to be the next Vicar of St Austell in the Diocese of Truro. Congratulations. Jonathanl We shall be
very sorry Indeed to lose both of them; tfv wi51 leave wlth the gratltude of everyone for 311 that
they have done and for the huge part that they have played in our church life at Holy Trinity.
We are dellghted that Les Crossland, who Is already a Licensed Lay Mlnister, has been accepted for
training for the ordained ministry. All being well, he will be made deacon this September.
Our grateful thanks for all thelr servlce toAndr¢es all￿r5. who stood down at last yeaffs annual
meeting after four year5 as Churchwarden bLrt remains on Council, and to Linda Adams-Avornyo
and Monica Napier, who have left the Councll. We were delighted that Elinor Jones agreed to serve
as Churchwarden In successlon to Andrfes. alongside Gary Kin& and that David 81nns was elected as
a member of the Council.
A special thank you to Brenda Watlin& who has drawn a line under seven year5 of service in the
time-con5uming role of Hall Bookings Secretary. Jatinth Sundersingh has kindly volunteered to
undertake some administrative work for us and will be taking on the hall l)ry)king5 as part of her
role.

A great many other people have contributed hugefy. mostly on a voluntsry basis, to life at Holy
Trinity over the past year. It is impossible to name everyone here, but we are very grateful to them
all for their invaluable service. Without such committed lay SUp￿rt the church could not funttion.
Worshlp. study and other actlvities
Through the year we have maintained our regular pattern of Sunday morning servlces, with a
Tradltlonal Eucharist using the liturgy of Comfflon Worship at 9.1M)am followed by an All-Age SeNice
in a more contemporary st￿e at 10.45am. wlth an opportunity for the two congregation5 to enloy
OL4r free café between the Servi￿$. Our thriving Sunday School meets in parallel with the later
Servi￿.
Provision for young people has remained at the CO￿ of our mission. In addition to the Sunday
School, we ha¥e been runnin8 Tots and Tinys for pre-school children and their parents and Ca￿r5 on

evenings, and Fireplace for our older youth on Thursday evenings. These are all term-time groups,.
number of other events have been organlsed for yourg people, e5pecialty In the school holidays.
The other opportunities for communal worshlp have expanded over the past year. We have

Special service5 have been hekl on mah)r festivals. and there have been occasional mldweek
evening servlces of music and other worship. An Alpha course was held in autumn 2023, providln8
n opportunlty for people at dtfferent 5ta8es of their Aoumey to discuss key questlons of faith. The

Open Table, our monthly free meal for the community. has contlnued throughout the year,
wlth a good balance of people from Inslde and outside Holy Trinlty amore the typKal attendance of
30 to 40. We also held lunches on Sundays in July 2023 and February 2024 to welcome

through a Collect￿ forthe 8ishop'5 Lent Appeal. We also now make regular monthly donations to
Redbridge FLK)dbank and four charÉties working with disadvantaged people overseas.. Dignity
Freedom Network. Kids Club Kampala. Open Doors arnl Tearfund.
Around the slte
Through the yeaf. a lot of energy has gone into progressing Project Ardight. our mi55ion-driven
transformation project enabled by redevelopment of our site. This work has been taken tO￿ard on
behalf of the Council by a Project Board and most of all by Simon Todd as the project manager. in
conjunctlon with our archltects Malcolm Fryer and Satlsh Ja55al as the lead deslgners.
The planning stage 15 unavoidably mstty. In October 2023 we launched 18nite, a major fundraisin8
campaign whlch has bfOU8ht in almost exactly £3CK).(KM) from our own members and other friends
and associates. In March 2024. we moved on to a new campaign, Fuse, to raise the rest of the
money we need. Ignfte lit the flame.. Fuse wlll carry the flame forward over the next year. For
further details on Arcli8ht, please see the separate report In thls pack.
In the meantlme. we must malntaln our existlng infrastructure. Although there has been ￿ major
work over the past year, there has been plenty to keep our Churchwardens occupied. Significant
Item5 have lrtcluded repalrs to the heatlng in the hall. essential electrical work In the church and the
renewal of our floodlights. The churchwardens, report In thls pack glves further detalls of
malntenance during the year.
Flnance
The Flnanclal Statements for the year ended 31" December 2023 are attached.
In accordance with le8al requirements. ttrt accounts are divided into unrestricted and restricted
funds. Unrestrlcted funds resuft from general fundraising and may be used for any purpose.
Restrirted funds are those which a￿ glven to the church for Specific purwse5. The Notes to the
Flnanclal Statements explaln the funds more fullv.
The law also requires US to have our Financial Statements re¥￿Wed by an Independent Examlner. At
the last annual meetln& Jon Groom. who has generously examined our accounts without any fee for
the past seven years, was reappointed to the role. In the event. however. our income in 2023
exceeded E250,CMXI for the flrst tlme, meaning that the revlew must be condurted by a qualrfied
accountant. We have therefore appjlnted Your Local Accountants of 5 Chlgwell Road, South
Woodford as examiner5 of the 2023 accounts. Huge thanks ère dLJe to Jon for gNing hls time so
unstlntingly up to now.
Our General Fund income in 2023 was some £20.CKM) greater than In 2022, due in part to grants
received towards Salt and Open Table and genefOUS SUPPOrt from All Saints Woodford Wells. Even
so, we had a deficit in the year of about £ll,LKL). All parishes are ob5i8ed to POY a sum to the
Dlocese each year. known as the Parish Share, as a contribution to the costs of provldlng parlsh
clergy and central Diocesan seThi¢es. A £22.tJX) increase in this payment In 2023 was a major fartor
in our failure to break even.
Charlty law requires the Coundl to de%*lop and report pollcles on reserves. The Councll's pollcy Is to
hold reserves in the General Fund sufficient to meet expenditure from that fund for a period of three
months, and after that, to the extent that it is P055ible. to set money aslde in a desvanated fund to
be used as and when nece553ry to cover increased ￿1$ of missional artNity. Our General Fund
Se￿e5 at the end of 2023 were below the desired level required by our policv.
Our fInan￿S are likely to get tighter still in 2024. Until n￿￿. ouryouth Pastor post has been funded
by external grants, bLrt from 2024 we will have to cover the costs ourselves. Thls and other risinB
costs mean that our finan￿ will be under even greater pressure than before. The Council attaches
importance to the payment of Parish Share. but it is atso mindfvl of the need Thjt to run down our

Registered Charlty no: 1192943
reserves any further. We are hopefvl that increased regular giving will ease the pressure, but even
so we have reluctantty given notice that we are very unlikely to te able to pay the Share in full In
2024.
We had two e¥ceptional Etems of income in 2023. Apart from the donations received from the Ignite
campaign, we received some £73,rm as a resu￿ of default by Kent and Sussex Propertles Ltd. the
developers for our previous, unsuccessful redevelopment project. who went into liquidation in 2017.
This money will not be available to us to spend until the liquidation process is complete but will eam
welcome Interest In the interlm.
