## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES 

Together with the PCC we work to promote in the Parish of St Mark Clerkenwell the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelisVc, social and ecumenical. The PCC also has responsibility for the maintenance of the building, which is used throughout the week by a variety of organisaVons. The PCC has regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. 

## ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE 

The number on the electoral roll at the date of the 2023 APCM was 59. The average a]endance in 2023 was 19 on Sunday Mornings and 6 at services in the week. On Sundays on which fell the monthly Choral Evensong the average a]endance increased to 50. 

## SAFEGUARDING STATEMENT 

The PCC has complied with the duty under secVon 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to House of Bishops' guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults). 



## **VICAR’S REPORT** 

November 2023 marked ten years since my arrival here as parish priest. Looking back, it seems at first only a few years ago that I arrived, and yet even the briefest reflecVon reveals how much has happened in the last decade! 

‘Arrivals and Departures’ forms the theme for the first part of my report. In the last year we have celebrated Fr Aidan’s appointment as priest-in-charge of Holy Trinity, Hoxton, and many of us were present for his licensing there on 21st April. I am personally extremely grateful for his ministry, companionship and support during his Vme here, and I know we all echo these senVments. 

It is parVcularly notable to bid farewell to a curate who was not only ordained both deacon and priest in Clerkenwell, but who has also celebrated his marriage to Elizabeth and the bapVsm of Adelaide during his curacy. I hope they will always feel at home here. He has not gone far, and we look forward to joining him and his people here and there in future. 

I recently ceased to be priest-in-charge of Holy Trinity, Hoxton, of course. My associaVon with that parish began in August 2021, and it is good that we have been able to resource a nearby parish and nurture them towards the permanent appointment of a parish priest. We do not exist in isolaVon, and it should be a joy to support our brothers and sisters where we can. 

One clergy departure must surely deserve an arrival and I am delighted (and not a li]le relieved) to welcome Fr Nigel Palmer in May 2024 as non-sVpendiary assistant priest. Fr Nigel comes to us from St Michael, Croydon and will assist here part Vme, but with alacrity! It may not be immediately obvious, but few parishes are fortunate to a]ract assistant clergy, and so we are very fortunate indeed to have done so consistently for some years now. 

We wish Jeremy Hobson well as he prepares to leave Trinity Church Islington to lead a new phase of life and ministry at St Ma]hew, Ponders End. Jeremy has been a joy to work alongside, and we pray for him and Dawn as they move. I am greatly looking forward to welcoming Nigel Binyon, who will take up the reins at Trinity in late summer 2024. 

Our monthly Choral Evensong with guest preachers and hospitality akerwards has conVnued to be extremely popular this year, with a]endance running at at least forty on each occasion, and someVmes as many as 60. This iniVaVve is drawing in quite a number of people who live locally, which is excellent. We are very grateful to the Ouseley Church Music FoundaVon for their generous grant of £2,000 towards the cost of the project in 2023. 

Thanks, as always, must be extended to the Churchwardens, PCC members, Thomas, Daniel and Emma in the music department, those who lead our ministry of hospitality and ‘fliering’, Rosemary and her team at the Saturday shop, and the many others who keep the show on the road day-by-day at St Mark’s. A lot falls on the shoulders of a few at present, and I recognise the effort and commitment shown by all who contribute to our life together—I am deeply grateful for it. 

Fr Christopher Trundle _Vicar_ 



## **CHURCHWARDENS’ REPORT** 

The church building and its conVnuing needs was, as ever, a key focus. Whilst the benefits of a new heaVng system were enjoyed there were other ma]ers that required a]enVon, not least the wish to ensure that all had equal access to the space. St Marks was fortunate to benefit, once again, from the generosity of the Cloudesley Trust which organised an Access audit for Islington churches and took the opportunity of a thorough audit to idenVfy where improvements might be made. Several areas were idenVfied and followed up with work, funded by a grant, due to commence shortly. It was encouraging that so much at St Marks was found to be helpful to those with parVcular needs. 

A thorough review of fire safety was undertaken, certain works done and a number of fire exVnguishers replaced. The church gu]ers were inspected twice and debris removed providing assurance that the roof area and gu]ers remained sound. 

The church organ was maintained and tuned, parVcularly important for the part it plays in church worship and a]enVon focused on a complete overhaul and new case – being a longer term project requiring significant fundraising. 

The Parish Room was used for several events and by Trinity Church to host its community choir pracVce. Also on the  music side the church was used on several occasions by a toddlers’ “Mini Mozart” group and for a delighrul evening of lute playing and singing, definitely enhanced by the church acousVcs. 

St Marks’ “New to You” shop conVnued to be open on Saturdays and a]racted customers and visitors to the church. It was pleasing to see that a number of “regulars” conVnued to come for the community that the church being open offered and walking groups came in from Vme to Vme. The funds raised from shop sales are designated to restore the pulpit - a First World War memorial which has sustained damage to its carvings and needs general care. 

Toward the end of the year it was Vme to renew the various licences granted to occupants of the church, including the crypt. This was duly done with everyone remaining with St Marks which was most welcome. 

The church garden conVnued to present a small challenge, with drought, dogs and the occasional missing plant at the front all adding to this. However we do thank one member of the congregaVon who helped so much with the  garden surrounding the church by cutng the hedge and removing weeds and a “volunteer” gardener from the Square who came regularly whatever the weather to help at the front and make it a]racVve. 

To conclude we sincerely thank Fr Christopher and Fr Aidan for their support and for being so accessible and thoughrul regarding the varied issues that inevitably arose during the year. 

Rosemary Beales and MarVn Kirk _Churchwardens_ 

## **ORGANIST’S REPORT** 

The tradiVon of a sung Holy Communion on a Sunday morning is precious. Sadly it is not always a given elsewhere. The Organist is grateful to be holding a role where this tradiVon is respected. Furthermore, our exacVng observance of the church’s year provides endless opportuniVes for the rich repertoire of church music to enhance worship and reflect the dynamics of liturgical ‘Vmes and seasons.’ 

The Organist’s work benefits greatly from the encouragement and support he receives from the congregaVon and clergy of St Mark’s and through the commitment of Emma Leggat. Her dedicaVon to the church is clearly seen in the lengthy travel she faces and the logisVcs of bringing a small child with her. The Organist wishes to place on record his graVtude to Emma and to all the church family at St Mark’s. 

The Organist was glad that the PCC can now turn its a]enVon to the repair and encasement of the church’s organ. Updated cosVngs were sought from Harrison and Harrison and these have been given iniVal consideraVon by the PCC. An informal subgroup consisVng of George Allan, MarVn Kirk and the Organist has met to look at fundraising opVons and ideas around placing the organ renewal within a wider musical 



programme of outreach. The organist is grateful to both and to all members of the PCC for their commitment to the instrument. 

Thomas Kell _Organist_ 

## **JUNIOR CHURCH (SUNDAY SCHOOL)** 

There are sVll ten children on the register who a]end junior church throughout the year in the Parish Room. Fr Christopher supplied a list of the Gospel readings at the beginning of the church year which were used in conjuncVon with an educaVonal book which contained various acVviVes suitable for a range of ages. The older group of children conVnued to volunteer to help the younger ones by reading the Gospel passages from the Bible at the beginning of the session aker the prayer and, if required, also helped with other acVviVes. Aker the church service they helped the younger ones exVnguish the Altar candles. 

Everyone enjoyed parVcipaVng in the crib service before Christmas where there were both child and adult angels and an adult Arabian in full costume. During special services the children undertook readings and prayers . There is a regular Adult DBS accredited team who assist in organising and helping with Sunday School who are thanked for their support.

## **SAFEGUARDING REPORT** 

Safeguarding is being closely monitored and all required are being progressed.  Training has been provided to all members of the PCC. Churchwardens are currently scheduling the leadership course. It is good to note that we have now reached Level 3 on the Parish Safeguarding Dashboard, noVng a intensificaVon of our safeguarding policies and procedures.

## **FINANCE REPORT** 

These remarks are based on the Management Accounts for 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023, prepared by Charity Bookkeeping and ExaminaVon Services, in advance of the Report on the 2023 Accounts by the Independent Examiner, Data Developments. 

## FINANCIAL SUMMARY 

## _INCOME AND EXPENDITURE IN 2023_ 

The PCC’s income for the year amounted to £113,767 (2022: £143,642) and expenditure for the year amounted to £74,191 (2022: £112,466) resulVng in an excess of income over expenditure of £39,576 (2022: £31,176). The major reducVon in revenue and expenditure in 2023 was due largely to the substanVal compleVon of the heaVng project in 2022. 

## _ASSETS AND LIABILITIES_ 

At the end of 2023 St Marks held in cash £126,270 at CAF Bank (£86,695 in 2022) and this represented the total reserves at year-end. 



## _FUND REPORTS_ 

Most funds are held in the CAF Bank Cash/Current Account. The excepVon is the Legacy Fund, established in 2023 to hold a generous legacy by the Church’s former sacristan Frances Cowan. The PCC wishes to apply this fund to an appropriate future Church project, yet to be finally determined but likely to be the Organ Fund. 

For accounVng purposes, funds are divided into nine Funds: six Restricted Funds, two Designated Funds and the General (Unrestricted) Fund. 

The new heaVng for the church became operaVonal during 2022, and the HeaVng Fund ended 2023 with funds of £32,316 (£24,868 in 2022). This reserve will be held for compleVon of the project, which depends on UK Power Network’s upgrading the local network. 

At the end of the year, the Organ Fund was £9901 (£9099 in 2022); the Pulpit RestoraVon Fund was £3449 (£176 in 2022); the Relief Fund was £4630 (£4030 in 2022); the Youth & EducaVon Fund was £6911 (£6911 in 2022); and the new Church Music Fund was £1400. The la]er was established in 2023 to hold and distribute donaVons made specifically to support the Church’s new choral evensong services. 

The ConVngency (Designated) Fund was established in 2018 following the Archdeacon’s VisitaVon when it was recommended that the PCC set up a conVngency fund to help meet the costs of unforeseen items of expenditure, parVcularly repairs and maintenance related to the church building. During 2023 £1000 per month was transferred to this fund, and at the close of the year the total Fund was £36,000 (£24,000 in 2022). The fund has been capped at £36,000, but if and when it is necessary to draw down the fund, payments into the fund of £1000 per month will resume unVl the £36,000 cap is reached again. 

The new Legacy (Designated) Fund, containing the legacy of Frances Cowan, was £24,721 at the end of 2023. 

At year end, the total General (Unrestricted) Fund was £6943, a decrease over the year of £10,668. The Fund is expected to increase in 2024, due to the cessaVon of payments into the ConVngency Fund (see above) and to the triennial increase in Church Rents received which was implemented in January 2024 

## _RESERVES POLICY_ 

The PCC’s policy for reserves in excess of need is to make charitable donaVons to the wider church or other chariVes. In 2023 St Marks was able to honour its commitment to the Common Fund with a substanVal contribuVon of £30,000 (£26,000 in 2022). The Common Fund includes an element of charitable acVviVes and our Archdeacon advised that we needed to prioriVse our responsibility towards the needs of the building ahead of donaVng any excess. This was the basis of the establishment of the ConVngency Fund in 2019.

## **HEALTH AND SAFETY REPORT** 

Health and safety conVnues to be managed effecVvely with no accidents reported during this period. Fire safety is also closely managed through the review of the fire risk assessment and maintenance of the fire alarm system, fire exVnguishers and emergency lighVng.

## **DEANERY SYNOD REPORT** 

In 2023 Jill Courtnell stepped down as Lay Chair of the Deanery Synod aker three terms in the post, with Liz Curran of St Luke’s West Holloway appointed in her place. 

Four meeVngs were held using a new format suggested by the Islington Area Dean, Tamsin Merchant, where a speaker is invited, followed by a Q&A session and then discussion groups aker which points raised are 



reported back to the meeVng. On one occasion a delegate from Finsbury Mosque spoke on what they could offer the local community. More recent themes were Mission & Outreach and CreaVvity.

## **TRINITY CHURCH ISLINGTON** 

Trinity Church Islington enjoyed another year based at St Mark’s Clerkenwell in 2023, and we conVnue to be grateful for the warm hospitality that we have been shown. Akernoon services have conVnued, and we have been focussing on 1 Corinthians as our book of the year. The church has conVnued to a]ract young professionals and families, and we have been delighted to welcome newcomers from the local area. Many church regulars also return on a Tuesday night, when we look at the Bible together over hot food. This year we worked through the gospel of Mark together, with one group conVnuing to meet online. 

Outreach events have conVnued too, with an Ethiopian coffee ceremony event, treasure trail, and ‘Sweetness and Jazz’ evening. ‘Toddlers on Thursday’ (ToTs) and community choir have run regularly as well, with the choir putng on a Summer concert in July. A weekend away in May also gave the church an opportunity to spend longer together and build community amongst the church family. 

Our Minister, Jeremy Hobson, shared with the church that he will be leaving in July 2024. Aker an appointment process, it was announced that Rev Nigel Beynon, Director of Word Alive, will be licensed under the terms of the BMO in September 2024.

**Accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2023** 

## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the examiner** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts and they consider that an audit is not required for the year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: 

Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 

to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and 

to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of the 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 these records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required for 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. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In connection with my examination, no material matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

Accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, or the accounts do not accord with the accounting records 

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

Date: 26[th] April 2024
