**VICAR’S REPORT** 

S we look back on another year at St Mark’s, we do so with gratitude for the many ways in which God continues to bless our community and guide our common life. 

I have been delighted to welcome Fr Nigel Palmer in 2023, and I am particularly grateful for the thoughtful preaching he has brought to our parish. His presence has been a great gift to us, and we look forward to his continued ministry among us. 

Choral Evensong continues to play an important role in both the worship and outreach of St Mark’s, regularly drawing congregations of more than 30. The fellowship that follows each service is a testament to the strength of our community, and I extend my sincere thanks to our musicians and to those who work so hard to flyer and offer hospitality. We are also grateful to all who contribute financially, ensuring that this vital aspect of our parish life can continue to flourish. 

Looking ahead, we are excited about the appointment of a Lay Missioner later this year. This role will help to develop our worshipping life and explore new ways of engaging with the wider parish community. This is a significant step in our mission and one that holds great promise for the future of St Mark’s. 

Our gratitude also extends to Thomas Kell, our Director of Music, whose sensitive and skilful leadership enriches our worship week by week. Music is at the heart of our liturgy, and we are fortunate to have such dedication shaping this aspect of our life together. 

We also eagerly anticipate the ordination and arrival of our new curate, Samuel Williams, in June. His ordination to the diaconate will take place on Saturday 28th June at 11 am at St Andrew, Holborn. This is a significant moment for our parish, and I encourage you all to be there to support and pray for him as he begins his ministry here. 

A further warm welcome this year was extended to Nigel Beynon, who took up leadership of Trinity Church Islington last summer. We look forward to our continuing relationship with him and with Trinity in the years to come. 

I would also like to express my thanks to our Churchwardens, Treasurer, and all on the PCC for their hard work and dedication. Your service is invaluable in sustaining our parish life and mission, and I am deeply grateful for all that you do. 

As we move forward with faith and confidence, I remain thankful for the privilege of serving as your parish priest. Please keep me in your prayers as I continue to pray for you. 

Fr Christopher Trundle

## **CHURCHWARDENS’ REPORT** 

T was encouraging to see the church being used regularly during the year by a variety of people and to be able to welcome a number of visitors interested in finding out about the history of the building. This reinforces the need to ensure that the upkeep of the building is maintained which can be a challenge. 

Regular maintenance included the twice yearly cleaning of the gutters and associated stonework ensuring that the numerous leaves from the surrounding park were removed as well as weeds which found their way into the stonework. The gardens in front of the church which soften and enhance its aspect greatly benefited from the care of a regular volunteer which was very much appreciated. Whilst foxes and dogs presented a challenge overall we were pleased that many commented how much they enjoyed the planting. 

In November the church had its Quinquennial Inspection where the church architect spent a day reviewing the state of the building in advance of producing a report which will indicate what, if any, 

_Page 3_ 



work needs to be undertaken. The report is awaited in the hope that nothing major needs to be done, although with the church being nearly 200 years old there is always something. 

In the area of health and safety regular checks took place as required, in particular fire testing and replacement of fire extinguishers as well as the installation of more signage and emergency lights. In addition it was agreed that the fire exit doors either side of the church should be fitted with a new “push bar” mechanism to operate them as the existing mechanisms are no longer permitted and the new mechanism would be easier to operate. A grant for this work has been requested together with grant support for work to ease some of the interior doors which are extremely heavy to operate. St Marks remains conscious of the need for accessibility for all and this work will lead to improvement in this respect. 

St Mark’s heating project was completed with further heating panels being installed at the West end of the church space. Work remains ongoing to gain increased electrical capacity in order that, when required, all heating panels within the church space can be used at the same time. 

During the year the Church was hired out to a variety of organisations including a local  school for a musical event, the Myddelton Square Association, a photoshoot and two film companies. St Marks’ “New to You” shop continued to be open every Saturday with many “regulars” welcomed and, in June, serving cream teas proved very popular and drew in a good crowd. It is hoped that the income from shop sales will ensure that the pulpit  (which is also a war memorial) can be repaired and refurbished in 2025. The donations of goods for sale which will help to fund this work are much appreciated. 

The Churchwardens dealt with much of the general administration of the church including liaising with the various occupants of the building and the issues that arose and dealing with tradespeople that needed access in order to undertake work. The presence of the WCCM and Trinity Church which have been located within the Church for a number of years has been most welcome and, again, has drawn people to St Marks. We also thank Thomas, our organist, for his music and professionalism. 

Health and safety continued to be managed effectively throughout 2024 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 extinguishers and emergency lighting. 

Sincere thanks, as ever, go to Fr Christopher for his support and it was also good to welcome Fr Nigel which will certainly assist in dealing with the wide range of issues that inevitably arise during the course of a year. 

Rosemary Beales and Martin Kirk _Churchwardens_ 

## **ORGANIST’S REPORT** 

HE tradition 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 tradition is respected. Furthermore, our exacting observance of the church’s year provides endless opportunities for the rich repertoire of church music to enhance worship and reflect the dynamics of liturgical ‘times and seasons.’ 

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

The Organist was glad that the PCC can now turn its attention to the repair and encasement of the church’s organ. Updated costings were sought from Harrison and Harrison and these have been given initial consideration by the PCC. An informal subgroup consisting of George Allan, Martin Kirk and the 

_Page 4_ 



Organist has met to look at fundraising options 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)** 

HERE are still ten children on the register who attend 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 conjunction with an educational book which contained various activities suitable for a range of ages. The older group of children continued to volunteer to help the younger ones by reading the Gospel passages from the Bible at the beginning of the session after the prayer and, if required, also helped with other activities. After the church service they helped the younger ones extinguish the Altar candles. 

Everyone enjoyed participating 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** 

AFEGUARDING 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, noting a intensification of our safeguarding policies and procedures. 

_The Diocese of London’s Safeguarding Team phone number is 020 3837 5101 or 020 7932 1224._ 

June Braybrook                                                                              Martin Kirk _Children’s Champion Safeguarding Officer_ 

## **FINANCE REPORT** 

## _INCOME AND EXPENDITURE IN 2024_ 

T Marks’ income for the year amounted to £96,691 (2023: £114,117) and expenditure for the year amounted to £91,027 (2023: £74,211) resulting in an excess of income over expenditure of £5,664 (2023: £39,906). The major reduction in revenue is explained by a substantial one-off legacy received in 2023, while the increase in expenditure was largely due to the last substantial payment in 2024 for the church heating project. 

## _ASSETS AND LIABILITIES_ 

At the end of 2024 St Marks held in cash £132,265 at CAF Bank (£126,601 in 2023) and this represented the total reserves at year-end. 

## _FUND REPORTS_ 

Most funds are held in the CAF Bank Cash/Current Account. The exception 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. 

_Page 5_ 



For accounting purposes, funds are divided into ten Funds: five Restricted Funds, four Designated Funds and the General (Unrestricted) Fund. 

_Restricted Funds_ . The new heating for the church became operational during 2022, and the Heating Fund ended 2023 with funds of £32,316.  There was some additional expenditure in 2024, but it was then decided to reduce the Fund to just £2000 (to cover any additional costs when UK Power Network upgrades the local network) and to transfer the remainder to a new designated fund – the Maintenance and Decoration Fund. 

At the end of the year, the Organ Fund was £9901 (£9901 in 2023); the Relief Fund was £6230 (£4630 in 2023); the Youth & Education Fund was £6911 (£6911 in 2023); and the Church Music Fund was £130 (£1400 in 2023. The latter was established in 2023 to hold and distribute donations made specifically to support the Church’s new choral evensong services. 

_Designated Funds_ . The Contingency Fund was established in 2018 following the Archdeacon’s Visitation when it was recommended that the PCC set up a contingency fund to help meet the costs of unforeseen items of expenditure, particularly repairs and maintenance related to the church building. The fund was capped at £36,000 at the end of 2023, but if and when it is necessary to draw down the fund, payments into the fund of £1000 per month will resume until the £36,000 cap is reached again. 

The Legacy Fund, containing the legacy of Frances Cowan, was £25,851 (£24,721 at the end of 2023). The new Maintenance and Decoration Fund (see above) was £12,511. Also, the Pulpit Restoration Fund was changed from a Restricted to a Designated Fund and contained £6186 (£3149 in 2023) 

At year end, the total General (Unrestricted) Fund was £26,545 (£7574 in 2023). This increase was due mainly to two anticipated events: the cessation of payments into the Contingency Fund (see above), and 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 donations to the wider church or other charities. In 2024 St Marks was able to honour its commitment to the Common Fund (which includes an element of charitable activities) with an increased contribution of £32,000 (£30,000 in 2023).

## **DEANERY SYNOD REPORT** 

HE Deanery Synod met three times during the year in different churches. Regular business included the appointment  of Deanery Synod School Governors, and of a new Cloudesley Trustee. We were addressed by Jo Bingham the Stepney Area Safeguarding Officer. On another occasion  the subjects were "Mission through connection with the Community" and "Creativity in Worship". Our final meeting of the year was themed "Growing Younger”. This entailed engaging with children from 'toddlers' through to Primary Year 7, children with special needs and nurturing links where there is a Primary School in the Parish. A nomination was also put forward for a Lay Member to the Diocesan Synod.

## **WORLD COMMUNITY FOR CHRISTIAN MEDITATION** 

T Mark’s Church hosts the international office of the WCCM, Meditatio, The Meditatio Centre and the UK office of the WCCM. 

_Page 6_ 



The WCCM is a global spiritual community united in the practice of meditation in the Christian tradition. WCCM director is the Benedictine Monk, Laurence Freeman. 

WCCM’s aim is to share the fruits of meditation in the Christian tradition widely and inclusively, serving the unity of all and building understanding between faiths and cultures. Members of WCCM span more than a hundred countries. There are about sixty-seven national coordinators. Its international centre is Bonnevaux – an ancient monastic site now dedicated to global peace and dialogue around the daily practice of meditation – near Poitiers in France. Our mission: 

_To communicate and nurture meditation as passed on through the teaching of John Main in the Christian tradition in the spirit of serving the unity of all._ 

Meditatio is the outreach of WCCM, teaching meditation in Schools, Prisons, to those on the margins of society and in recovery from addiction or trauma as well as looking at the common ground between wisdom traditions in the spirit of silence. 

The Meditatio Centre opened its doors in March 2013 to provide an annual programme of events around meditation and contemplative practice for London mediators. Over lockdown we went online and grew a world-wide audience which we maintain still with hybrid events. We reduced the number of events at the centre last year and have continued in this vain into 2025. Our newly founded series Silent Saturday is drawing big numbers- people ready and wanting to share a day of silence and 3 periods of meditation. We have had some big numbers here generally at the Centre this year, with guest speakers Henry Shukman from the US and Lennie Charles’ Rumi event welcoming more than 50. It seems there is a growing interest in contemplative Christianity, where God speaks in silence to the deep heart within us. 

In the office at St Mark’s we are Catherine Scott- Head of Operations WCCM, Kate Middleton -Director, Meditatio and the Meditatio Centre, Anuja Janarthanan- Accountant, WCCM, Elena CassBookkeeper, WCCM and Meditatio, Aneta Myk - Cleaner and Sarah Humphreys- Office manager, WCCM in the UK. We are never there all at once but we each work 2/3 days a week from the office and try to cover most days to have a presence and to be able to offer lunchtime meditation to all who want to come. We have 2 Learning to Meditate in the Christian tradition courses this year. Free and all welcome. One in June and one in November . 

We continue to value the generosity and support of Fr Christopher, Rosemary, Martin and all at St Mark’s. We feel welcome and very happy to be a part of your church community and the community of Trinity Church.

## **Independent Examiner’s report to the trustees/members of The PCC of St Mark’s Clerkenwell** 

Registered charity number: 1193335 

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2024 which are set out on the following pages. 

## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.  The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 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 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 those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in 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 matters have 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 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.
