evangelistic, social or ecumenical. The PCC is also responsible for maintaining the Church and associated facilities in our building at 125 Salusbury Road LONDON NW6 6RG.
St Anne’s is a parish church within the Diocese of London, part of the Church of England. A brief summary of the work of the diocese is at section 13 below.
## **1.2 Membership of Clergy and Church Council for 2024**
The Parish of St Anne with Holy Trinity Brondesbury has been served by The Revd Christine Cargill as our Vicar since 2013. Working together with the PCC and people of our parish we seek to promote the mission of the Church in the area, as we confidently share the love of Christ.
Mother Christine left us at the end of 2024, returning home to Australia. We are hugely grateful for all she did during her time here.

St Anne with Holy Trinity Brondesbury Page 2 2024 Annual report
## **1.4 Property**
Negotiations are still ongoing between the London Diocesan Fund (LDF) and the United Reform Church (URC) for the LDF’s purchase of the URC’s share of the building, following the closure of St Andrew’s URC church and the ending of the Local Ecumenical Partnership in July 2020. It is unclear when or whether these discussions will conclude. The PCC has now taken on all the functions of the previous Joint Council, and is fully responsible for the operation and maintenance of the site.
During the year we negotiated a new seven year lease with Rainbow Montessori nursery, our major tenants in the building.
The last quinquennial inspection report, on the state of the building, was completed in April 2019. The issues identified in that survey are being dealt with by a rolling programme of repairs and maintenance, which continued throughout 2024.
As well as regular maintenance and cleaning, the following key property issues were dealt with during 2024:
- New outdoor storage shed installed to replace two existing outdoor timber sheds;
- Repairs and lock replacement for the external doors, damaged by a break-in over Christmas 2023;
- Repairs of roof and radiator leaks; and
- Upgrading of our wifi network, installation of a new CCTV system, and migration of our email and document storage systems to Microsoft Office 365.
- The appointment of a new office administrator, Natasha Ockrent, following the retirement of Lesley Daisley after many years of service.
Due to the retirement of the current Surveyor, a new Surveyor is being appointed, to carry out the next Quinquennial survey during 2025.
## **1.5 Standing Committee**
This is the only committee required by law. It has the power to transact the business of the PCC between meetings, subject to directions given by the Council. Members were Simon Judge, Richard Brindley and Mother Christine Cargill. It did not meet in 2024.
St Anne with Holy Trinity Brondesbury Page 3 2024 Annual report
## **1.6 Church Attendance**
The usual Sunday morning attendance averaged throughout the year was 25 adults and 8 children. This includes about 60 regular attenders over a 3-4 week cycle; and about 75 who have attended more than once in the past year. Our Sunday school attracts an average of 6 children during term time. 400 people and school children attended our special services during Advent and Christmas 2024.
## **1.7 PCC Meetings**
The PCC met on 7 occasions during 2024, including a special meeting with the Archdeacon on 11th October. Main agenda items included:
- recruitment of a new vicar, and preparing a parish profile to support that process (available on our website at st-annes-brondesbury.org.uk/vacancy/);
- renewing leases of building users and tenants;
- reviewing the finances, accounts and key policies of the Parish, and agreeing our contribution to the Diocesan Common Fund; and
- meeting our legal obligations (Safeguarding, GDPR, Fire Safety and Risk Assessment).
## **1.8 Conclusion**
St Anne’s responded to many changes in 2024. We have much to look forward to in 2025, as an active part of our local community. We are working with the Bishop, the Archdeacon, and our patrons on the appointment of Mother Christine’s successor, and hope that this process will be concluded shortly.
## **2. Vicar's Report**
I write this report as I prepare to leave St Anne’s after nearly 12 years as Vicar. We have been through a great deal of change during this time, with the closure of both the Ecumenical Partnership with St Andrew’s; and the subsequent closure of the London Inter Faith Centre. We have also shared in a partnership with Christ Church at different points and have had a leadership role in Christ Church School since 2018.
Amidst all these structural changes, much of the worshipping life of St Anne’s has remained constant, just as prayer life should. The community of St Anne’s is good at continuing to welcome and care for those who wander through its doors. While the faces change, we continue to have around 60 adults and 12 children who worship
St Anne with Holy Trinity Brondesbury Page 4 2024 Annual report
with us at least once a month. There are others who join us for My Move or Tea & Chat, or prayers or even worship on a less frequent basis.
The engagement of people of all ages in our worship is a highlight for me. The confidence our young people have in their faith – should encourage and inspire us all. I also value your willingness to experiment with new prayers and music – even if we don’t always like it. Praying the lord’s prayer in different languages and versions I think is a taste of what heaven might be like.
The greatest challenge for us, and for you, is that there is still lots to do, and we have limited time and money resources. I hope there are ways during the interregnum to build this up.
We are good at pulling together for big events like Queen’s Park Day, or Wreath Making or Christmas or Easter. It is sometimes harder though to manage the day-today tasks like maintenance, or cleaning altar linen.
Thank you to everyone who contributes to the life of our community in different ways. As I leave, I pray you will continue to encourage and support one another. Continue to trust that God will guide you. Thank you for your support and kindness to me over eleven and three quarter years.
With best wishes Mother Christine Cargill December 2024
## **3. Deanery Synod Report**
Brent Deanery is the group of Anglican churches in the borough of Brent. There are 22 churches covering each local community in the borough; St Anne’s currently has two lay vacancies on this council.
In 2024, there were three meetings:
- 24th January at St Michael's Church, Tokyngton. Pauline Mc Calla, who is the Willesden Area representative for **The Mother's Union** (London Diocese), presented an overview of the work of the Mothers Union in supporting families, prisoners and refugees in the area.
St Anne with Holy Trinity Brondesbury Page 5 2024 Annual report
- 12th June at All Soul’s Church, Harlesden. Angela Colman, the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer for the Willesden Area led a biblical reflection on **Making our Churches a Safe Place** . She spoke on safeguarding and how we can all make our churches a safe place for everyone.
- 29th October St Michaels & All Angels Church, Stonebridge. The topic was on “How can churches reflect our stewardship of God’s creation?” Nadia Khan (Brent Council) spoke on the Council’s ‘ **Faith Climate Action Plan** ’ – their climate charter with faith and community groups, and also advised of other projects happening in Brent.
## **4. Electoral Roll**
In 2024 we had 105 people on the Electoral Roll. As required by the Church Representation Rules, a new Electoral Roll is being prepared in time for the APCM in May, and will be made available for inspection on request.
This year we have used a new online form to simplify the process, as well as the more traditional paper form. Both routes also seek consent to store email addresses and phone numbers of members of the congregation, and use them to send out relevant communications.
## **5. Financial Report**
As last year, the accounts cover the entire range of activities that the PCC is responsible for. (Until 31 December 2022, the income and expenditure relating to the building were the responsibility of the Joint Council, part of the Local Ecumenical Partnership with St Andrew’s United Reformed Church).
The income and expenditure statement (page 12) splits transactions into four categories:
- a. **The General Fund** , which (as previously) covers our “normal” transactions: donations including gift aid tax relief - row A1, fundraising, Common Fund payments – row B5;
- b. **The Building Operations Fund** which covers the rental income generated by the building - rows A2 and A3, the running costs and maintenance costs for the building - rows B1 and B3, and the parish administrator (row B2).
- c. **The Building Repair Fund** to hold funds for major repairs and improvements – row B4. No such costs were incurred this year.
- d. **A Restricted Fund** that is used to hold grant income from the Willesden Consolidated Charities, that can only be spent on particular activities.
St Anne with Holy Trinity Brondesbury Page 6 2024 Annual report
We have changed our independent examiner this year, to Stewardship Services (UKET) Limited, and as part of this change the PCC resolved to prepare the accounts on the “receipts and payments” basis, which is much simpler than a full “accruals” set of accounts (see note 1a, 1f). The comparative figures for 2023 are slightly different from those published a year ago, to take account of this decision and also to make some minor reallocations of income and spending -- see notes 1f and 9 for more detail.
The operating surplus/(deficit) for each of the funds is shown at row C, which shows the building operations fund continues to generate a surplus each year. which can then be transferred to the other funds – row D, which shows a transfer of £16,000 from the Building Operations fund, split equally between the General and Repair funds.
The overall operating surplus of £5,410 (row C) is a significant improvement on 2023, when we broke even (a deficit of £393). This is a result of:
- An increase in congregational giving this year. Our new contactless giving machine (and associated QR codes) has certainly had a positive impact (row A1)
- An increase in rent paid by the nursery, following the signing of a new lease during 2024
- Tight control of costs relating to the building
- An increase in our Common Fund payments to £45,000, as we strive to get closer to the full cost of providing clergy and their housing in the parish (£100,000 in 2025). We have now committed to making a contribution of £50,000 in 2025.
During the year, we appointed (via a Special Parish meeting in November 2024) a new independent examiner, Stewardship Services (UKET) Limited. Their report is at page 15.
## **6. Reserves policy**
At the end of 2024, our overall reserves were nearly £43,000 – row G. As the statement of assets and liabilities shows, the vast majority of this is held as cash in our various bank accounts. Looking to the future, we plan over the next few years to double the size of the Building Repair Fund, to approximately £50,000, so that we
are prepared for any major or unexpected costs (similar to the lift) that may affect us in the future; and to also hold £10,000 in General reserves to deal with cash flow issues and enable us to respond to unexpected short term shocks.
St Anne with Holy Trinity Brondesbury Page 7 2024 Annual report
In deploying future operating surpluses from the building, we need to strike a balance between increasing our Common Fund contribution and building up the building repair reserve. Therefore we will keep this reserves policy under review.
## **7. Sunday School Report – Ministry with Young People**
The Sunday school has continued to run during term time as a supplement to the main weekly service. The timings are arranged so that the young people engage more informally with the ‘ministry of the word’ and return to church in time for the sacrament of Communion. The format of Sunday school is the same: the youngsters read and discuss one or more of the readings used in adult church and then undertake a creative activity to apply what they have learnt / understood. This is summarised in a brief presentation which is made to the congregation during the notices so that their ministry in affirmed and owned by the adult congregation.
The children and young people also play an active part in leading worship. Sunday school lead intercessions every 4 – 6 weeks, some have graduated to the reading rota and there has been active involvement in leading of all age worship in specific services at Harvest and Christmas.
This year there have been six families (two new and more occasional attenders) whose children have attended Sunday school - 14 in all ranging from babies to teenagers – and occasionally there are other visitors. This is an increase from last year and it is positive that two of the families have joined via baptisms or engagement with My Moves drop-in. It is unusual for all families to be in church simultaneously and so the pitch of activities remains flexible to ensure maximum engagement. Toys, books and a floormat are put out so that there is appropriate space for the 1 – 3yr olds. There is always one adult leading the group (and occasionally two present), however the older teenagers are used to lending a hand if there are larger numbers of the youngest.
The Sunday school teaching team this year have been Ruth, Filipa and Alice - though additional helpers are warmly welcomed.
## **8. Queens Park Day**
Queen’s Park Day took place on 15[th] September and as usual was a very busy and well attended community event.
As in previous years the Church had a very large stall with cakes, books, second hand clothes, toys and bric a brac. We also hosted a sit-down tea & cake area which
St Anne with Holy Trinity Brondesbury Page 8 2024 Annual report
was popular. Overall the occasion provide a great opportunity to be visible in the local community and have informal outreach.
A large number of the congregation contributed to the event, donating items for sale, transporting goods to and from the park, setting up the stall or selling during the course of the day.
Although the weather was a little unpredictable we were pleased to have raised just over £1,600. Significant donations of books and second hand items were also made to a range of local charity shops afterwards.
## **9. Tea and Chat**
Tea and Chat is an opportunity for local people (adults of all ages) to socialise and enjoy tea and biscuits (sometimes cake!) in the warm, welcoming and accessible environment of the rotunda at St. Anne’s. There is a group of about 10 regular attenders and some other occasional ones (men and women) for whom it is a very valued resource. It has been run weekly by Mother Christine and volunteers until her recent departure. At that point it was agreed by the PCC that, with limited volunteer resource, it would be practical to run it monthly during the vacancy. Four DBS checked volunteers have taken on this role. Regular attenders are contacted ahead of each meeting as a reminder.
Following a lively Christmas meeting in December, Tea & Chat restarted in January and will continue on the second Friday of each month. We look forward to welcoming new attenders over the next few months.
## **10. Safeguarding**
With regard to the PCC's obligations to safeguard children and vulnerable adults, the members of the PCC confirm that they have complied with their duties under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016.
St Anne’s has continued to provide a safe environment with a positive culture of safeguarding:
- An updated safeguarding policy was discussed and approved by the PCC at their meeting on 7 April 2025;
- There has been a fresh drive to ensure that all Trustees, and all those with responsibilities for volunteering with children and vulnerable adults, have up
St Anne with Holy Trinity Brondesbury Page 9 2024 Annual report
to date certificates from the Disclosure and Barring Service; and
- Publicly displayed posters, and information on our website, are up to date and reasonable risk assessments are in place.
There have been no specific notifications of safeguarding concerns to the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor within the past year.
## **11. Data protection and privacy**
In 2020 the PCC re-approved two policies to be compliant with data protection requirements; one for post holders and one for non-post holders. All members of the congregation were invited to complete a consent form, and a further consent was added to the Electoral Roll form. This process has been repeated with the creation of the new Electoral Roll in 2025.
A privacy audit was completed of our data storage and usage, and we have been working to ensure that we maintain compliance. There were no reported breaches in 2024. Data protection is an agenda item of every PCC.
## **12. Responsibilities of Trustees**
We are very grateful to all members of the PCC for their contributions during the year, and for writing the relevant parts of the Annual Report above.
Charity law requires the PCC to prepare financial statements for each accounting year, which record the receipts and payments of the charity for the year.
The PCC is also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity, and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011.
We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud, error, or any other irregularities. In furtherance of this, we have agreed a new financial controls policy.
Finally, in planning our activities the Trustees have had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
St Anne with Holy Trinity Brondesbury Page 10 2024 Annual report
## **13. Diocese of London**
The Diocese of London is the largest and most diverse in the Church of England. We have over 500 churches and 750 licensed clergy. We are able to have a church in almost every community, supporting the vision for every Londoner to encounter the love of God in Christ. In 2024, 50 new deacons were ordained and early draft statistics indicate that Average Weekly Attendance in London grew by 7.5% to over 60,000.
During 2024, we have continued working towards our priorities of becoming a younger, safer and more racially just Church. For example:
• 19 London Youth Apprentices engaged 715 young people weekly and funding was granted to enable the launch of five youth ministers in Hackney and Islington.
• In a challenging year for safeguarding, referrals to the Diocesan Safeguarding Team increased substantially, indicating more trust and confidence in the safeguarding service. 789 people received safeguarding leadership training, and 3,808 DBS checks were carried out.
• Churches across the Diocese engaged with Race Equality Week, Racial Justice Sunday, and Black History Month last year, reflecting on racial justice and committing to action.
The breadth of parishes and Bishop’s Mission Orders in London nurtured confident disciples, compassionate communities and creative growth in an amazing variety of ways. They also contributed over £23m to the Common Fund, an increase of almost £1m. Alongside £13.2m income raised by the London Diocesan Fund (LDF) and £3.6m from LDF reserves, this paid to provide ministry and support parishes across the Diocese.
## **14. Approval**
This report was approved by the Trustees, and signed on their behalf by:

St Anne with Holy Trinity Brondesbury 2024 Annual report
Page 12
## **THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST ANNE BRONDESBURY WITH HOLY TRINITY KILBURN**
## **Note 1 - Accounting Policies**
1a) These accounts have been compiled on the receipts and payments basis. They comprise a statement that shows the charity's cash receipts and payments, a statement of our assets and liabilities, and related notes. As these accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charity SORP (the relevant accounting standard), they do not (and cannot) present a "true and fair" view of our financial activities.
1b) The **Unrestricted funds** of the charity comprise the following:
* a **General Fund** which is used for the core church related activities of the charity, in particular congregational giving and our contribution to the Diocesan Common Fund to help pay for the cost of providing clergy, their housing, and other support services across the diocese (more information at https://www.london.anglican.org/church-and-parish-support/finance/common-fund/) .
* a **Building operations fund** which is used for the day to day management of the building, in particular our rental income and operating costs.
* a **Building repairs fund** which is used to fund major repairs to the building, as and when they arise.
1c) No costs were charged to the buiding repair fund in 2024. In 2023 this fund received income from an insurance claim for damage caused by a break-in during the year, which covered most of the associated costs.
1d) In addition we operate a **Restricted Fund** to hold donations, principally from Willesden Consoldiated Charities, to be used in accordance with the specific restrictions imposed by donors.
1e) The PCC has agreed the **transfers** shown between the designated funds (£8,000 from Building Operations to General, and £8,000 from Building Operations to build up the Repair fund).
1f) The **comparative figures** for 2023 are slightly different to those presented at the APCM in March 2024. There are two reasons for this (see more detail in note 9 below).
_i) Five minor restatements have been made to move income and expenditure between the headings and between Unrestricted funds, for consistency between the two years, in particular:_ **Note 2 - Receipts and payments in 2023, as restated (Note 1f)** a) Donations of £240, originally received to the Building operations fund, have been moved to the General Fund (note 3), b) Donations of £907 for My moves now appear in note 4 rather than note 3
c) Organist and piano costs of £350 were moved from note 6, so that all such costs appear in the General Fund (note 7),
d) the costs of the independent examination of our accounts, previously split between the Building Operations and General Funds, have been brought together in the General Fund (note 8);
e) £280 of building income had been allocated to the General Fund, and has been moved to the Building Operations Fund. Corresponding adjustments have been made to the 2023 closing balances for the General Fund and the Building Operations Fund. These restatements have no impact on the overall results in 2023, nor the total funds of the charity.
_ii) Small adjustments have been made to the opening and closing balances, and the surplus for the year, to exclude payables and receivables, and so convert the figures to a receipts and payments ("cash") basis._
1g) The receivable shown at row S above relates to: i) a backlog of rent due from the Nursery, built up over a number of years, which is now expected to be paid to us during 2025; and ii) gift aid tax relief claims in respect of 2024, which were paid to us by HMRC in January 2025.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF**
## **THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST ANNE'S BRONDESBURY WITH HOLY TRINITY KILBURN**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Anne's Brondesbury with Holy Trinity Kilburn ('the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2024 on pages 12 to 14 preceding.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity, the members of the PCC are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 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 2011 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 accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with the accounting records.
I have no concerns and 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.
