3. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

3 (a) The Parish Church Council (PCC)

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules as published online by the Church of England General Synod at this link: https://www.churchofengland.org/about/leadership-and-governance/legal-services/church-representationrules/contents. All regular church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. The Roll was last revised in 2022, prior to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting.

The PCC is the body of trustees for the Parish. Their responsibilities are understood primarily as the setting and careful monitoring of parish policies, including the annual budget. (Other policies are listed later in this report.) Day-to-day management is devolved (with set budgets) from the PCC, through the salaried staff; based on a 40-hour week, there are 4.4 full time employees – 10 employees (to October 2022) thereafter 9 in total, of whom 1 is full time, plus clergy, and a number of formal and ad-hoc committees or teams, containing a wide range of other PCC members, advisors and co-opted members. These are listed below.

3(b) Reverend Canon Tom Kennar

The scope of the activities undertaken in 2022, and hence the structure and work of the PCC and its various committees, was determined by the ill health of our Rector, Canon Tom, who went on sick leave in late March. A phased return to work began in September but, unfortunately, this was suspended upon the news that he was required to enter hospital for a major heart operation. This took place in early December. The operation went well, and Canon Tom was allowed home in time for Christmas. However, he remained on sick leave for the rest of 2022.

As a result, a significant amount of additional responsibility fell upon the Ministry Team, comprising

3

the Worship Leaders and our Lay Pastor (Sandra Haggan), who continued to ensure that all services took place. The Churchwardens, PCC and the whole congregation are extremely grateful to those members of the clergy, some of whom are retired, and our lay readers who ensured that a very high quality of regular worship was maintained. In particular, the PCC would like to thank Bishop John Hind, Reverend Frank Hillebrand, Canon Tim Schofield and Reverend Judy Henning for their willing support and tireless efforts on its behalf.

3(c) “Doing Less Better” – Re-structuring the management of St Faith’s

The illness of the Rector and the consequent need to re-structure the way in which St Faith’s is run meant that during 2022 a number of Committees met more regularly and took on more responsibility than hitherto. This was part of a considered strategy, called “Doing Less Better” , which aimed to ensure that on his return Canon Tom’s role would be sustainable and that he would not be burdened by many of the management and administrative functions which are part and parcel of running a modern church.

The long-term absence of Canon Tom was not the only driver of the wish to re-structure. Others included a steep rise in energy costs and the end of pandemic support which resulted in a significant monthly deficit in the operational budget; a decline in fund-raising activity during and in the aftermath of lockdown; and a decline in those prepared to come forward as volunteers following the easing of lockdown reflected in part the ageing nature of the congregation.

After a considerable amount of work and reflection and following a preliminary discussion at its meeting in May, the strategy “Doing Less Better” was adopted unanimously by the PCC at its meeting of 9 August 2022. It is based on the following key principles. We will:

1. As a whole church community, focus unremittingly on our core mission to enrich the spiritual life of our congregation and the community which we serve;

2. Shelve activities which are not directly related to this core aim of our Mission Development Plan until financial and personnel resources are such that they are sustainable once again;

3. Develop a management structure which clearly separates responsibility for the spiritual and worship life of St Faith’s from the ‘business’ (i.e. the social and community activities and financial and estate management) of the church;

4. Ensure that there is no single point of failure – no pinch point – by providing appropriate support and back-up for all systems and personnel.

5. Apply tight budgetary control to all operational costs and expenditure;

6. Ensure all major projects have clear success criteria and outcomes;

7. Revert to a single Big Build fund (rather than a series of smaller specific funds) with the PCC prioritising annually the aims of the fund-raising campaign to ensure thereby that they are refined and thus clear and recognisable to all, and then communicated widely to the congregation;

8. Make donating to the Big Build Campaign as easy and transparent as possible;

9. Prioritise the re-creation of a “generous church” by improved communication of need, impact and

4

thanks; and

1. Accepting that the drive to volunteer is not what it once was, structure projects and activities accordingly.

All-in-all, the hope and expectation of the PCC is that this re-structuring will better support our Rector and enable him to concentrate on his role as the spiritual leader of the congregation.

3(d) Principal Committees of the PCC

Standing Committee: Rector (Chair), Churchwardens, PCC Vice-Chairman (post held this year in tandem by Colin Hedley, Churchwarden), Parish Secretary (currently a non-voting employee), the General Manager (also currently a non-voting employee), the Hon. Treasurer, Rosemary Turner, and two representative of the PCC, Hilary Deadman and, from November, Linda Pope.

The Standing Committee is responsible for progressing the policies of the PCC between meetings. Key staff members are invited to attend from time to time (as non-voting members) depending on the business to be transacted. During 2022, because of the need to maintain the work of the church in the Rector’s absence, the Standing Committee continued the practice adopted during the pandemic of meeting – virtually by Zoom – fortnightly from April.

Worship Committee: Rector (Chair), Director of Music (advisor), any Licensed Readers or Readers with Permission to Officiate, Head Server (Bruce Strugnell), Michael Laird, Sybel Laird, Clive Barnett and Nick Saunders.

The Committee is responsible for advising the Rector and PCC on all aspects of the worshiping life of the parish. Due to the illness of the Rector, the committee did not meet in 2022; however, the Lay Pastor (Sandra Haggan) continued to liaise closely with the Worship Leaders and Director of Music (Graham Kidd) with regards the conduct of services.

Pastoral Care Team: Sandra Haggan (Reader and Lay Pastor, Chair), Julia Hancock (Co-ordinator). Other pastoral visitors are invited to attend to share pertinent information and plan the pastoral work of the parish. This team meets on an ad hoc basis, as required.

Pallant Development Team: PCC Vice-Chair (Colin Hedley, Chair), Rector, Sandra Haggan, Jackie Udy, Andrew Bowker (Dynamo Youth Theatre – users’ representative), Will Coulston, until July 2022, thereafter Shelley Saunders (General Manager - advisor), Kevin West (Capital Programmes Manager). This committee advises the PCC about work required to upgrade and develop the Pallant Centre (formally “Church House and the Church Hall”).

Ministry Team: Rector, Worship Leaders, Accredited Lay Workers, Lay Readers. This Committee agrees rotas for the leading of services and plans new worship initiatives.

Young People and Families Team: Colin Hedley (Chair), Sandra Haggan, Fiona Hedley, Clive Barnett, Barbara Stearne (until May 2022), Mary Moore (until May 2022), Claire Toole, Jeremy Toole, Rector, Sarah Rickett (Educational & Heritage consultant – advisor).

This team is carrying forward the Mission Plan’s focus on engaging with young people and families.

Finance Team: Churchwardens, Hon Treasurer, General Manager, Finance Officer

In the absence of the Rector and in view of the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on church funds, this team met at least monthly from April 2022. Key staff members are invited to attend (as non-voting

5

members) depending on the business to be transacted.

Other Groups: Ad-hoc groups which also met during the year include the Communications Team, ‘Churchyard Redevelopment Group’, ‘Flower-Arrangers’, ‘Serving Team’, ‘Choir’ ‘Bell-Ringers’, ‘Senior Staff Team’.

Much of the work of these teams is carried out on a day-to-day basis via email and interpersonal conversations. The PCC is advised of their work in general and takes decisions regarding any significant policy or financial matter, when requested by these teams.

3(d) Parish Staff

The PCC and its associated sub-committees, working groups and teams are supported by a range of stipendiary, salaried, contracted and voluntary staff. These comprise:

Full-Time Staff:

The Rector: Reverend Canon Thomas Kennar

Lay Pastor (including Little Lambs Manager): Reader Sandra Haggan

General Manager: Will Coulston (full-time to July 2022).

Part-Time Staff:

General Manager: Shelley Saunders (32 hours per week from July 2022) Director of Music: Graham Kidd (from September 2019)

Parish Administrator: Pauline West (from March 2018)

Charity Shop Manager: Clare Kennar (from March 2018)

Charity Shop Supervisor: Charlotte Waters (16 hours per week February-August 2022); Sandy Signorelli (16 hours per week from August 2022)

Finance Officer : Ani Moore (from December 2019)

Capital Programmes Manager: Kevin West

• Facilities Manager/Caretaker: John Glassett

Two self-supporting clergy with Permission to Officiate: Rt Rev’d John Hind and Rev’d Frank Hillebrand

Three self-supporting Readers with Permission to Officiate : Dr Michael Fluck (PtO), Mrs Jackie Brookfield (PtO) and Sally Kirk Stephens (PtO).

During 2022, staff meetings were held fortnightly; in the Rector’s absence they were chaired by Clive Barnett (Churchwarden) and included the General Manager, Lay Pastor, Director of Music and Parish Administrator.

Note: All of these members of staff routinely work for far longer than the hours for which they are paid. The PCC acknowledges and is extremely appreciative of their commitment to the work of St Faith’s which goes way beyond what is required of them. In addition, Volunteer Staff are busy across the whole range of the parish’s work, including the Charity Shop, the Pallant Warm Hub, bell-ringing team, livestreaming and sound system team, maintenance team, Little Lambs workers, young persons and families team, pastoral visitors, stewardship team, communications team, servers, choristers, flower-artists, stewards and welcomers. There are too many to list by name (not least for fear of missing someone off the list!). The PCC is immensely grateful to each and every one.

3(e) Charitable Status

6

Under the terms of the Charities Act 2011, the PCC, having an income in excess of £100,000 was registered with the Charity Commission (under no. 1128278); this registration was confirmed on the 26th February 2009.

3(f) Accountability and Policy Framework

The PCC is fully aware of the risk factors involved in the running of church affairs and continues to ensure that all our properties are adequately insured, including public liability. We have policies for all significant areas of the Parish’s life, which guide the decision making of the PCC, and the actions of officers and staff. These comprise:

• The Annual ‘Budget’ (called the Financial Operating Plan)

• PCC Statement Regarding Potential Churchyard Developments

• Constitutional position of the PCC

• Finance Policy and Procedures including Operational Policy (significantly revised in 2021-22)

• Reserves Policy (the standing policy throughout 2022 was to maintain reserves equivalent to at least one month’s normal revenue budget expenditure)

• Investment policy (reviewed in 2021) - the standing policy for long-term trust funds is to invest them through Diocesan-approved investment vehicles, while general cash reserves are held on deposit for ready-deployment on parish projects

• Legacies Policy

• Extra-Parochial Giving Policy

• Safeguarding Vulnerable Children and Adults Policy (we adopt the Diocese of Portsmouth Policy wholesale, and comply with all its guidance and rules)

• Appraisal Policy

• Complaints Policy

• Grievance Policy

• Health and Safety Policy (including COSHH),

• Lone Working Policy,

• Staff Compensation policy.

• Mission Plan

• Admission to Communion Policy

• Data Protection Policy (including GDPR and Data Privacy)

• Social Media Policy

• Equalities and Diversity Policy

• Volunteer Policy

• Whistleblowing Policy

• Risk Management Policy

• Conflict of Interest policy

The operational policies are published on the parish website at http://stfaith.com/pcc/pcc-policies/ and are periodically reviewed in line with the timetable shown on the website. By a vote of the PCC in October 2020, each PCC member took responsibility for overseeing one or more of these policies and reporting to the PCC on their implementation and revision (when required).

We comply (as far as heritage considerations make possible) with the Disability Discrimination Act, and subject to funding are planning to improve further the access we provide for disabled people to the church and Pallant Centre. We have plans to build a fully accessible toilet in the Church as soon as possible.

7

The PCC gives regular updates on its decisions and activities to the wider parish, through a variety of media, including redacted copies of minutes, and summaries of key decisions and actions through the fortnightly newsletters (see later “Mission Development Plan 2020-25”).

An Annual Parochial Church Meeting is held so that the PCC may be publicly accountable to the whole membership of the Electoral Roll.

3(g) Public Benefit

The Trustees (PCC) are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance and requirement on public benefit in ‘The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit’ and have had due regard to it in their administration of the PCC. As a part of its Charitable Objects of ‘promoting of the whole mission of the Church’ the PCC provides a benefit to the public by:

• providing facilities for public worship, pastoral care and spiritual, moral and intellectual development, both for its members and for anyone who wishes to benefit from what the church offers;

• promoting Christian values and service by members of the Church in and to their communities, to the benefit of individuals and society as a whole; and

• providing administrative and meeting facilities to local charities, small local businesses and youth and community organisations.

4. OBJECTIVES

The PCC’s primary objective, defined by the Church Representation Rules of the Church of England is ‘to co-operate with the Incumbent (i.e. the Rector) in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelical, social and ecumenical’.

4(a) Mission Plan 2020-2025

In pursuance of its primary objective, the PCC agreed a second five-year Mission Plan ( “Live/Pray/Serve” ) - - in 2020. This plan may be read in full on the parish website (www.stfaith.com/mission development plan/). It is aligned with the mission strategy of our Diocese and states that there are many helpful and natural synergies between what we sense God is doing among us and what our Diocese calls its parishes to achieve.

The 2020-2025 Mission Plan builds on our Spiritual Development Plan (November 2018), Pallant Development Plan (February 2018) and the Re-ordering Plan (November 2017). It takes forward the work of the previous plan (2015-2020) and seeks to enable our parish (and indeed our diocese) to grow in depth, impact and number. In practical terms its aims are:

Live the Gospel by :

• Establishing a Young People and Families programme;

• Achieving formal recognition as an Inclusive Church;

• Achieving a gold standard award as an Eco-church;

• Completing the Churchyard project;

• Maintaining our buildings to the highest possible standard;

• Growing our prophetic presence within the community; and

8

• Developing our parish maintenance team as a resource for our parishioners and those of other parishes.

Pray on our own and together in community in order that we might:

• Implement as far as possible the aspirations of our Spiritual Development Plan;

• Ensure that young people and families are offered high quality opportunities to engage in prayer, worship and celebration appropriate to their needs;

• Broaden and deepen the styles of worship which we offer;

• Broaden and deepen the opportunities for discipleship training;

• Develop specific and deliberate ‘faith-seekers’ opportunities; and

• Strengthen our capacity to welcome warmly all who enter St Faith’s or the Pallant Centre in search of spiritual refreshment, prayer or companionship.

Serve and love the people among whom we live and work by:

• Continuing to grow and develop the work of the Pallant Centre in line with the Pallant Centre Development Plan;

• Examining the benefits and challenges of developing a new Pallant Centre Trust to enable greater community participation;

• Developing our pastoral care services especially for the marginalised, homeless and vulnerable,

• Expanding the potential for virtual meetings and livestreamed services;

• Developing our ‘occasional offices’ programme of baptisms, weddings and funerals supported by low cost ‘celebration packages’;

• Developing the work of the St Faith’s Shop;

• Growing our relationship with other churches;

• Developing the youth-work strand of our outreach to young people and families;

• Exploring the creative use of restricted investment funds held in trust by the PCC; and

• Growing the regular stewardship of our core membership and reviewing and developing our support for our mission partners in the UK and around the world.

This Mission Plan was formed within the context of the 2020 COVID 19 pandemic which has taught us the need to do some things differently. This has carried on in 2022 and includes:

• The livestreaming of services which has enabled people who are unable to attend public worship to be engaged and included; we believed that housebound parishioners and those who live outside the parish would appreciate the continuation of this facility once the pandemic is over;

• The creation of zoom or similar virtual meetings as a management tool and a means of keeping connected with the housebound and vulnerable; and

• The publication of a fortnightly parish magazine (formerly The Corona Chronicle, subsequently renamed the Chronicle in 2021 and now known as the Fortnightly News ) which has enabled parishioners to have a voice, tell their stories and stay connected whilst also providing a useful medium for the contemplation of sermons, prayers and other spiritual resources. The Fortnightly News now incorporates the weekly Pew News and the Monthly Newsletter .

4(b) Buildings to serve our Mission

9

In pursuance its primary objective, the PCC has responsibility for a number of buildings which are used to underpin and promote the mission of the church. These comprise:

a) St Faith’s Church – a Grade II* Listed building with medieval origins. A Re-ordering Plan for the church - was agreed during 2017 and may be viewed on the Parish website at http://stfaith.com/wp content/uploads/2017/11/Re-ordering-St-Faiths-Plan.pdf. During 2022, fund-raising went ahead to purchase new chairs for the nave, and further technical improvements were made to the automatic doors and the audio-visual aids and cameras to facilitate livestreaming.

b) St Faith’s Pallant Centre – a collection of three joined buildings, known as Pallant Hall (formerly St Faith’s Church Hall), Pallant House (formerly ‘Church House’) and The Coach House. The site has a Grade II listing category applied. This complex provides the most visible example of the PCC’s public benefit statement above. Within these three buildings, facilities and storage are provided to a very wide range of local and mainly charitable organisations and social clubs. Organisations currently using the Pallant Centre currently comprise:

• Havant Dynamo Youth Theatre;

• Havant Orchestras;

• Solent Male Voice Choir;

• Hayling and Havant Bowmen;

• U3A Art Group;

• MIND Young Persons’ Safe Haven;

• Self-help groups (AA, Al Anon, GA, Women’s AA);

• The Redeemed Christian Church of God;

• SSAFA - the Armed Forces charity;

• Brownies and Rainbows;

• Little Lambs for toddlers and their parents and carers (run in collaboration with St Alban’s, West Leigh);

• Specialist support for vulnerable adults such as Creating Chaos and Dementia Support;

• Many new and established physical and mental wellbeing groups; and

• Child Social Services contact point.

Bookings for the Pallant Hall and hire space continued to grow throughout 2022 with many regulars returning. The hall was used for local elections and a special Platinum Jubilee celebration. In the first half of the year, “Saturday Night at the Pallant”, showcasing the work of local musicians emerging from the lockdown, took place monthly until July but unfortunately ticket sales were low. The Repair Café continued to be a monthly event on the first Saturday of each month. An Eco fair was held in September in conjunction with The Great Big Green Week and in partnership with Havant Climate Alliance. In addition, there was a Christmas market and a Custom and Classic Bike show.

As a result, in the second half of 2022, the Pallant Centre reached a point where it is self-sufficient financially. Total income from lettings and events was recorded as of December 2022 as £53,184 with expenditure totalling £50,240 delivering a £2,944 net profit in 2022.

In September 2022, the Pallant Development Group reformed and continued working towards the refurbishment of The Pallant Centre, to secure the long-term future of this vital community building. A - ‘Way Forward’ document is available to view on the parish website at http://stfaith.com/wp content/uploads/2018/02/Pallant-Plan-the-Way-Ahead.-Final-agreed-document.pdf .

10

In addition, in 2022 a Pallant User Group was formed with agreement to continue with quarterly meetings. These meetings are extremely useful for the Pallant Development team and General Manager in order to ensure the centre runs as efficiently as is possible.

The Pallant website (https://www.Pallantcentre.com) was designed and developed by a local independent creative designer and has generated weekly interest for bookings. Return on investment for the website has already been achieved with confirmed bookings.

During the first half of 2022, the Coach House housed our Charity Shop and Bookshop , staffed by volunteers, with the support of two (part-time) paid Charity Shop Managers. The Shop offers part-time employment to two local people, volunteer placements to local people (including some with learning difficulties), and encourages the efficient recycling and re-use of clothes, small furniture and other household goods – particularly popular as the cost-of-living crisis has begun to have an impact. Surpluses generated are used to support the general objectives of the parish.

At the start of 2022 the Sue Ryder charity gave notice of its intention to give up its lease of 4 North Street. The PCC made a careful assessment of the business case for the Charity Shop replacing it in that new location. The move took place in May 2022 leaving an exciting opportunity to grow our partnership with the Havant Dynamo Youth Theatre which took up residence in the Coach House in June. A new Memorandum of Understanding was signed in the autumn and this promises to be the start of an exciting venture for both parties.

In its new North Street location, the Charity Shop and Bookshop are now open 6 days a week. The move to the ‘high street’ location in North Street proved to be immensely successful in terms of its impact on the sales generated. In 2022, the gross income was £45,822, the net income was £8,347 which is a great achievement considering the disruption caused by relocation and building works. The income received from a Havant Borough Council start up grant (£1.2k) and a compensation payment from the previous tenant (£3.1k) resulted in only £2.6k from the St Faith’s Big Build Fund being spent on the shop move project.

Also in the autumn, as the cost of living and energy crisis began to bite, the space previously known as the ‘Pallant Play Café’ was refurbished and brought back into operation as the Garden Room . In November the Pallant received funding from Hampshire County Council (via Cllr Lulu Bowerman) to open a Warm Room on every Monday from 1200 – 1400. Staffed by St Faith’s volunteers, the warm room has been a great success with an average of 10-12 people attending weekly. All are welcome to use the warm room regardless of circumstances; it provides a safe, warm space that is welcoming and accessible to all and offers soup, bread, biscuits, coffee, fellowship and peace together with activities such as knitting, reading and games. People can switch off their heating at home and meet in a community space. This initiative was taken in conjunction with other churches in the area to make a warm space available to people each day of the week.

4(c) Christchurch Centre and Bungalow – a modernist church building was erected in the north of the parish during the early 1980s as a mission church, with an associated bungalow. After some years, the church building was no longer needed for worship, and it is currently let to a local provider of nursery education (commensurate with the PCC’s objectives and public benefit statement above), the Bright Beginnings Nursery . In April 2021, a new 20-year lease was successfully negotiated to give the owners of the nursery a greater measure of security of tenure than they erstwhile enjoyed. The bungalow is used at times for the housing of clergy or is let-out to generate a general revenue for parish funds.

11

4(d) 1 & 2 Churchfields – these are a pair of houses, left to the Parish in Trust, which are let out to local people from time-to-time to generate revenue, or are used for the housing of clergy when needed. In the second half of 2021, a family of Syrian refugees moved into 2 Churchfields.

4(e) 2-4 North Street – Creation of ‘The Parish Hub’ The old Church Institute is a building with two shop units and an overhead flat, held in Trust by the Incumbent (Rector) and Churchwardens, but treated as though directly owned by the PCC. Following the move of the Charity Shop and Bookshop to this location in May 2022, a Parish Hub, with high visibility on busy North Street, has facilitated the bringing together in one place of the Charity Shop, Bookshop and Parish Office with a commensurate saving on running costs. In 2022, the overhead flat was let to a local housing association to provide accommodation for those in housing need.

5. Review of Activities and Achievements

5(a) Statistics of Mission

In this section it is usual to provide a selection of statistics compiled on an annual basis, which indicate the progress and trajectory of certain parish activities - especially in relation to the pastoral and evangelical elements of the PCC’s primary objective (especially worship). However, for the first three months of 2022, as in the two years preceding it, the continued high incidence of COVID infections locally pandemic meant that, although the Church and Pallant Centre were not actually closed for public worship and social activities, numbers of worshippers and those making use of the facilities available took a considerable amount of time to pick up.

Throughout 2022, weekly services continued to be broadcast either by livestreaming or Zoom technology, and subsequently made available as recordings on the Church’s website. This medium continues to prove very popular especially with those who are vulnerable and shielding.

Inevitably, the impact of the pandemic meant that statistics relating to attendance at worship, baptisms, weddings and funerals for 2022 remain significantly different to those for the years up to 2020.

Attendance at Worship

12

Comment: The 2022 official statistics show the residual impact of the pandemic: whilst they generally show an improvement on 2020-21, attendance has yet to reach 2019 levels and may never do so. However, these statistics do not record the fact that online services have been attended throughout 2022 by around 30 to 40 people for the duration of the services. Recordings of these services were then made available on the St Faith’s website and Facebook pages, and some attracted more than 1000 ‘views’ (a ‘view’ can be as little as a few seconds).

Average weekly attendance

13

Comment: At the height of the pandemic restrictions in 2020-21, livestreamed Sunday services attracted between 70 and 100 people. In 2022, by which time the church was open and limits on the size of congregations had been lifted, the combined attendance (in person and online) was 90-110. Livestreamed Thursday services attracted 15-20 people in person and a further 20-40 online with up to 200-300 additional post-service views. Sunday Evensong Prayer (by Zoom) attracted around 15 people.

The Worshipping Community

Comment: This graph is highly speculative and based on an estimate by the clergy. However, it does serve to show that the average age of the congregation is increasing over time, and that children are less present in our regular communal worship than they once were. The parish is working hard to address this deficit, through engagement with young people and families – but much of this work takes place outside Sunday worship (increasingly viewed by many families to be either ‘too old fashioned’ or at an inconvenient time).

Baptisms, Marriages and Funerals

14

Comment: Over the last decade, numbers of all ‘pastoral services’ has remained fairly constant, and quite low. Statistics for 2020-21 were skewed by the restrictions placed on the numbers permitted to attend these services. 2022 saw a return to numbers comparable with 2014-19. This is an area of potential growth but comes at a time when there are many more options available to the general public (weddings in beautiful secular locations, cremations by funeral directors who employ their own ‘Civil Celebrants’) and a general decrease in infant baptism alongside a fall in levels of interest in faith more widely (especially in the Western world).

In addition to our core worship services, St Faith’s has once again been the chosen location for a number of civic events during the year, including the Remembrance service and Rotary Club carol service. In 2022, these were also livestreamed. School carol services were also held for Fairfield Junior School and Bosmere School. The programme of weekly lunchtime concerts continued to take place, and in early December the Advent Experience was once again staged by the Young People and Families Team for Year 3 pupils from Bosmere School. In 2022, for the first time, an Easter Experience was also staged for Year 4 Bosmere School pupils. Both Experiences were very well received by the pupils and their teachers.

5(b) Evangelical and Pastoral Objectives

The raw statistics of attendance in the previous section do not paint an accurate picture of the whole life of the parish, particularly in respect of the PCC’s efforts to fulfil its evangelical and pastoral objectives.

Evangelism (understood as the promulgation of the ‘Evangel’ or ‘Good News’ of Jesus Christ) requires that the PCC should exert itself to provide the comfort of faith, and the challenge of the Kingdom of God to the community it serves. The word ‘Pastoral’ is taken to mean the active care of people whom the church encounters, wherever they are from and whatever support-needs they present.

After the restrictions of the previous two years, it is pleasing to report an increase in activities in 2022 to further St Faith’s evangelical and pastoral objectives. To this end, during the year, the PCC has:

15

• regularly reported to the congregation about its work;

• received regular reports on progress towards the objectives outlined in its Mission Plan (2020- -

• 2025), to guide the parish’s future - (see https://stfaith.com/wp content/uploads/2020/09/Mission Plan-2020-2025-PCC-Approved.pdf) as well as reports from the various sub-committees and teams;

• received expert advice on stewardship and fund-raising;

• kept a close eye on staff wellbeing;

• oversaw the management of the large estate for which St Faith’s is responsible;

• promoted membership of the church through the work of the Communications Team;

• provided subsidised accommodation to SSAFA – the Armed Forces charity (which it has done since 1946);

• provided low-cost meeting facilities for many local charities, community groups and small businesses;

• raised funds through personal donations and gifts from the Rector’s Discretionary Fund to support a diverse number of local and national charities, including Rotary Shoe-box Appeal, The Beacon Foodbank, the Havant Homeless Trust, Two Saints (local housing charity) the Children’s Society, the Hampshire & the Islands Historic Churches Trust, and the Havant Passion Play;

• provided an open church for visitors to have the space to sit, pray, ask questions, explore faith or simply enjoy the ancient and hallowed surroundings. A team of dedicated stewards is present on most week-day mornings – subject to strict health and safety protocols and risk assessments – to offer refreshment and friendship to all;

• created the Warm Hub – an initiative taken by all the local churches working together to coordinate opening times and created to help the community in this cost-of-living crisis;

• explored the possibilities opened up by increased collaboration with St Alban’s, West Leigh; to this end a successful joint meeting of the two PCCs took place in the summer;

• when possible, supported the work of Bosmere Junior School, through the provision of assemblies, R.E. support and general support of the teaching staff through the ‘Pray, Bake, Read’ scheme. The very successful initiative of offering an Advent Experience to Year 3 pupils, first staged in 2019, was repeated in December 2022 and an Easter Experience was offered for the first time in April 2022. More limited support is also given to the other two Havant schools (Fairfield Infant School and Warblington Secondary) at their invitation;

• supported the ministry of our wonderful choir: the church choir is very good heart and, according to the Director of Music seems to be getting better at learning new music faster than we did when he arrived on the scene! In 2022 there was the occasional experiment whereby the choir sang a choral setting of the Sanctus (Holy, Holy) and Agnus Dei (Lamb of God;

• supported the creation of "Faith in Harmony" , an initiative of our Director of Music and mainly made up of Year 4 pupils from Bosmere School; the high point of their year was singing at the lunchtime concert in Portsmouth Cathedral on 7th December. In 2023 the plan is to cover a unit called "The Eucharist" and bring them to church on a weekday lunchtime at the end of March for their own special service, to which others can attend, but geared towards the young people specifically.;

• promoted the come-and-sing choral evensongs which were well patronised in 2022 with a mailing list of 85;

• provided and supported a team of Pastoral Visitors who visit any in the parish who need regular contact, friendship and (if requested) home communion; members of this team regularly phoned and delivered copies of the Fortnightly News;

• ran a weekly course in St Faith’s and by livestreaming on Sunday afternoons introducing and exploring the origins and key themes and stories of the Bible (“The Bible Story” led by Rev Barbara

16

Watson Hammond); these sessions regularly attracted between 15-20 participants;

• ran an Alpha Course for those wishing to explore the Christian faith in greater depth; these sessions had 8 active participants; and

• in addition to creating the warm hub, held a variety of social and fundraising events , including weekly lunchtime concerts, monthly coffee mornings, weekly Tea & Chat (Mondays) and TAT (Thursdays at Two), the Ride & Stride event (organised by the Hampshire and the Islands Historic Churches Trust) and a Christmas market; these have the function of raising money, but also bringing people together in community.

5(c) Ecumenical Objectives

In pursuance of its ecumenical objective, the PCC has:

• played a full part in the life of the Deanery and Diocese; most meetings at Deanery, Diocesan and local ecumenical levels continued to take place via video-conference. There are two representatives elected to the Deanery Synod, who attend along with the readers and clergy. Clergy meet regularly with Cluster colleagues (from other local Anglican churches). Our Rector is a member of the Bishop’s Council, the Diocesan Synod, and is an honorary canon of Portsmouth Cathedral;

• met with its fellow PCC members from St Alban’s Church, West Leigh, to explore ways in which the two churches might co-operate more fully with one another (including the combining of the two churches’ parents, carers’ and toddlers’ groups into Little Lambs and the reciprocal advertising of services and other activities); and

• been represented steadfastly on the ‘Churches Together in Havant and Bedhampton’ Group, by both our clergy (and readers) and Paul Utting.

The PCC has also:

• participated in the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity and the World Day of Prayer (by Zoom);

• co-operated in efforts to relieve the misery of homelessness and poverty experienced by many in the town, not least through the raising and then provision of funds through the Rector’s Discretionary Fund – especially to the Havant Homeless Trust and the Beacon Foodbank;

• supported the clergy to have regular fraternal meetings with clergy of other local churches;

• collected donations of food for the Havant Foodbank, run by the Portsdown Community Church; and

• provided space (in Church House) for an independent church (of African origin) called ‘The Redeemed Christian Church of God’; Pallant House is now their permanent home.

5(d) Social Objectives

Many of the achievements and activities described in the previous sections have strong social elements to them, and so are not repeated here. In addition, it is worth noting that in 2022, where restrictions consequent upon the pandemic have permitted, the following activities with a strong social content have also been supported by the PCC:

• Bellringing – the provision of high-quality bell-ringing which calls people to worship and celebrates marriages and special civic occasions;

17

• Church Choir - while also enhancing worship, the church choir provides the social function of bringing people together in the making of music;

• St Faith’s Men’s Group - a group of men (including those who don’t regularly attend worship) who meet for fellowship and fun. The Men’s Group also provide voluntary labour on occasions throughout the year when projects are undertaken;

• Tea and Chat (Mondays) – established in response to the pandemic and providing an opportunity for people to meet together virtually via ‘Zoom’;

• TAT (Thursdays at Two) – providing a chance for fellowship and company;

• Church Recorders – A group of dedicated volunteers, who are members of the Arts Society, Portsdown, are compiling a detailed record of every item in the Church. Once complete the Record will be given to the Church, to the Arts Society, the Diocesan Office, the National Archive and the V&A Museum;

• St Faith’s Charity Shop and Bookshop – initially in the Coach House and, after the move in late May, in its new North Street location; the Charity Shop (staffed by volunteers with support from part-time paid managers) provides a valuable social space. The move to North Street proved to be immensely successful in terms of its impact on the sales generated: in 2022, it raised £45,822 (less salaries and running costs) for Parish funds (compared with £20,845 in 2021, £11,416 in 2020, and pre-pandemic £31,159 in 2019, £22,812 in 2018, £23,219 in 2017 and £18,397 in 2016). In the course of 2022, the claiming of gift aid on all donations was streamlined;

• A Parish House Group for fellowship, support, study and prayer. New members are welcome; the pandemic had put on hold plans to encourage the establishment of other house-groups but a prayer group, based at St Nicholas’ Chapel, got underway in December 2022;

• Flower Team – The flower team regularly decorates the church with fantastic arrangements, often working together in fellowship and fun as they do so;

• Church Cleaning & Maintenance Team – a small band of volunteers gathers once a month to clean the church, and enjoy each other’s company for a while; and

• The Monday Club – an ad hoc gathering of local people led by Bill Jones and Sandra Haggan on Monday mornings in the church: this is essentially a social group, providing mutual support and a strong bond of friendship.

6. REVIEW OF THE YEAR – PCC

The PCC met five times during 2021 in February, May, August, October and December (the sixth meeting was cancelled due to the illness of the Rector); some were in person and some by video-conference. All meetings were quorate.

During the course of the year, among the usual administrative matters (overseeing, monitoring and approving the detailed work of sub-committees, working groups and teams), the PCC:

• maintained vigilance over safeguarding and health & safety issues by reviewing and approving the PCC policy, ensuring that all relevant checks and training are being carried out, offering training sessions in person or virtually (for example in recognising signs of domestic abuse) and supporting our Safeguarding and Health and Safety Officers;

• mindful of the increased responsibilities and workload of staff during the Rector’s absence, kept a close eye on staff wellbeing;

• monitored the continuing implementation of the Mission Plan, the Spiritual Development Plan and plans for the Re-ordering of St Faith’s;

• taken forward measures to streamline the running of St Faith’s (see above “Doing Less Better” –

18

Re-structuring the management of St Faith’s ) to ensure a more sustainable role for the Rector on his return;

• maintained its commitment to paying its ‘Parish Share’ of Diocesan expenses each month; however, the cost-of-living crisis together with other unplanned expenditure forced the PCC to suspend payment of the Parish Share in October-December;

• within the context of the emerging energy crisis, maintained tight budgetary control through the receipt of, and discussion about, regular financial updates from the Honorary Treasurer and Finance Team, and set the 2023 budget;

• received expert advice and attended a presentation on stewardship and fund-raising;

• developed a strategy to keep down energy costs and overseen the implementation of a new energy contract and recouped substantial monies owed the church by a previous provider;

• set the priorities for the Big Build campaign and expenditure in 2022 (purchase of new church seating and the systematic renovation of windows in the Pallant Centre);

• approved faculty applications for church improvements;

• oversaw the management of the large estate for which St Faith’s is responsible: where appropriate, negotiated and authorised leases, set rents and monitored tenants’ activities and payments;

• received updates from and approved actions taken by the Standing Committee especially during the periods of the Rector’s absence during which the committee met at least monthly;

• supported the work of the Communications Team with an improved livestreaming capability, enhanced web-presence, and the publication of the Fortnightly News throughout the year;

• planned the APCM (in April 2022) and approved the 2022 Annual Report;

• oversaw the development of ideas to open up the churchyard for more public use;

• discussed the future of services at St Nicholas Chapel, Langstone;

• in the light of the decision of the Sue Ryder charity to terminate its lease of 4 North Street, took the decision for the Charity Shop and Bookshop to vacate the Coach House and oversaw the subsequent creation of the Parish Hub in North Street;

• monitored the Electoral Roll;

• authorised the permission of Lay Readers and Chalice Assistants;

• periodically reviewed its key policies with each PCC member taking responsibility for at least one policy;

• reviewed procedures for securely archiving and indexing its records;

• reviewed arrangements for celebrating the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II and subsequently for mourning her passing; and

• reflected on the role and responsibilities of the Churchwardens.

7. FABRIC REPORT (The State of our Buildings and their Contents)

7(a) St Faith’s Church

Broadly speaking, St Faith’s Church is believed to be in good condition considering its age and usage patterns. This assessment is supported by a quinquennial (five-yearly) inspection on the state of the church, which was completed in 2019, and which noted some considerable improvements to the building since the previous report (2014). The PCC, through the Churchwardens, the General Manager and the Buildings Maintenance Team has been steadily working through the issues identified as funds become available. Much progress has been made on the current quinquennial report with more work identified for 2023.

19

Notable changes to the fabric are:

• high level maintenance including the repair of guttering and lead flashing on the South aisle roof in addition to replacement of roof tiles whilst scaffolding was available;

• cleaning of external elevations, drainage and rainwater ducts;

• lightning protection testing;

• filling of the hole in the Vestry west wall;

• repair of the West End automatic doors;

• repair of the stair turret door;

• renovation of south windows in the ringing chamber;

• repair to the south boundary railing; and

• removal of boiler room air vents/ducts.

Looking to the future , the PCC plans to:

• install a more flexible & comfortable seating system; fundraising has taken place since 2019 and, following the hiatus caused by the death of the supplier, we hope to have the first seats in place by the summer of 2023;

• upgrade the alarm system for the bell ringing chamber;

• fire-proof the Choir Vestry Door;

• install safety precautions around the gully at the North vestry access door;

• replace or repair the North transept flooring;

• make long-term plans for the eventual replacement of the church roof. A report from the present architect concurs with that of our previous architect that the roof has many problems associated with age and will need total replacement within around 20 years. However, the PCC believes (on the basis of such reports) that careful management and maintenance in the meantime will extend the roof’s life until the point where total replacement becomes essential. The replacement of some crumbling ceiling panels will need to wait until the work to the roof is complete. Temporary repairs using painted hardboard are currently in place, and the mapping and prioritisation of the repair and replacement of tiling is also underway; and

• improve still further access to the building for all abilities, including provision of a wheelchair accessible toilet at the West end to meet the requirements of disability discrimination legislation: this is expected to be a Big Build priority in 2024.

With regards the rest of the St Faith’s estate, mandatory requirements such as electrical testing certificates were obtained, and gas servicing undertaken for all buildings under the PCC’s care.

7(b) The Pallant Centre

Over the first 15 years of the 21st century, the PCC was considering whether to dispose of The Pallant Centre as an asset which could pay for Church improvements. As a result, there was a reluctance to spend resources on anything other than the most essential repairs. In 2015, this policy was reversed by the decision (in the first Mission Development Plan) to restore, refurbish and repair the Pallant Centre, to form the centrepiece of the PCC’s social mission to the community. Since the adoption of the Mission Development Plan in 2015, the parish’s buildings’ maintenance team (of paid and voluntary staff) have achieved a great deal. Work was thwarted during the pandemic (with the exception of essential maintenance/repair). This year, as we have emerged from the pandemic, we have continued the mission development journey and the following works have been undertaken:

20

• high level cleaning of the Centre;

• essential repair to Church House roof following damage from Storm Eunice;

• refurbishment of the Garden Room including the replacement of the sink and light fittings, painting, and fitting curtains to exclude draughts;

• making and installing boarding for the hall door windows to help protect from draughts;

• ad hoc maintenance and repair of gutters following heavy rainfall in the autumn;

• engaged an expert to complete an up-to-date audit of the Pallant House windows; and

• submitted a planning application for remedial works to the Pallant car park wall.

Looking to the future , the PCC, through the Pallant Development Group plans to:

• complete the regeneration of the Courtyard and Garden as a safe social space;

• bring the old shop storerooms into operation to create a long-term revenue stream based on an activity-led flexible space;

• review the booking process for the space and how it is operationally managed;

• improve the design and layout of the ‘Green Room’ (behind the stage of the Main Hall) as a multiuse meeting, work and rehearsal space with showers and toilets;

• bring the second-floor attic (or ‘Garret’) back into use to create a long-term revenue stream – probably as flexible programme space (subject to planning permission);

• explore the possibility of fitting solar panels to the Hall roof; and

• fundraise to provide improved theatrical facilities to support artistic productions.

A ‘Way Ahead’ document for the Pallant Centre is available to view on the parish website at: http://stfaith.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Pallant-Plan-the-Way-Ahead.-Final-agreed-document.pdf

7(c) Christchurch Centre

The Christchurch Centre remains under a lease (to the Bright Beginnings Nursery) which was signed in April 2021 giving greater security to both the owners of the nursery and the PCC. A property inspection is due early in 2023 and a rent increase is due in July 2023.

7(d) Christchurch Bungalow

The Bungalow is currently let to a private tenant, generating a revenue stream to the PCC. The annual inspection by our officers shows the property to be well-maintained. No repairs or maintenance were required in 2022.

7(e) 1&2 Churchfields

One house is let to local Havant residents and the other to a refugee family, creating a revenue stream for the parish. Various repairs and upgrades are undertaken as budgets permit, including a new front door on both properties, a fence repair and improved loft installation.

7(f) St Nicholas’ Chapel

Although technically unconsecrated, the Chapel acts as a ‘chapel of ease’ and meeting place for Langstone Village. Formerly, monthly (and high-day) services were held, although currently these are suspended in the aftermath of the lockdown and the dwindling of the congregation. Thought is now being given by the PCC to developing new forms of worship and new timings in an effort to rebuild the congregation and attract new worshippers. A parish prayer group began meeting there in December. The building is rented by the Langstone Village Association for various events (ranging from coffee mornings to educational evenings). Thanks to the willingness of local volunteers,

21

especially Gill Falconer, the chapel is opened every day in normal weather as a sanctuary for local visitors, and to display Langstone history installed by the Village Association. The parish is keen to develop this tiny, but well-loved resource for the benefit of the Langstone community.

7(g) 2-4 North Street – “The Parish Hub” – The old Church Institute

The St Faiths Charity shop moved to 4 North Street in May 2022. Funding was allocated for refurbishment and a total of £7308.12 was spent to make the area fit for purpose. A new adjoining door was knocked through to Number 2 in order to create space for a bookshop. A new internet connection was installed in order to accommodate the technology required to operate the electronic point of sale equipment and gift aid systems. The loft space was refurbished to provide space for storage and the relocation of the Parish Administrator’s and Finance Manager’s working space. A new window was installed in the office to ensure good ventilation from a health and safety perspective. Number 2a remains a residential flat let to a housing association and was vacated in December 2022.

Health and safety

The use and condition of our buildings continues to undergo regular scrutiny by our General Manager and the maintenance team together with external experts by invitation or notice. As our record and in particular our approach to the challenges posed by the Corona virus pandemic and its aftrermath showed, health and safety compliance continues to be embraced enthusiastically by the staff and PCC of St Faith’s.

8. 2022 FINANCIAL REVIEW

The PCC, through the Hon. Treasurer, and Finance Officer and Finance Team, has worked tirelessly during 2022 to maintain a tight control of finances. The financial impact of significant increases in running costs and the post-pandemic reduction in income sources have required further focus on cost control and income generation leading to:

• monthly cash flow reports to the Standing Committee along with monthly management accounts reporting and commentary for regular review;

• the decision by the PCC to withhold payment of three months’ Parish Share (October-December 2022); and

• a local government grant application of £3k.

The complex Statement of Financial Activities can be difficult to interpret without experience. The bottom-line (in round numbers) is that the PCC spent £258k in 2022 (compared with £291k in 2021, £255k in 2020, £372k in 2019, and 300k in 2018) reflecting the impact of the cost-of-living crisis. We received income of £242k (down from £329k in 2021, £331k in 2020, £326k in 2019, and 246k in 2018), generating an operating deficit for the year of £16k (compared with surpluses of £37k in 2021 and £76k in 2020 and a deficit of £46k in 2019) after cash investment revaluations. The income sources were from donations to support the ongoing work and aims of the church, along with support grants from local organisations, rental fees and shop sales.

After other accounting adjustments are made, the cash reserve of the parish is £58k or unrestricted

22

funds and £101k restricted funds (£159k in 2021, £126k in 2020 and £49k in 2019)). Much of this reserve (less the reserve policy requirement set out below) is allocated to future building works in the parish.

9. RESERVES POLICY

It is the policy of the PCC to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the PCC, at a level which equates to not-less-than one month’s unrestricted expenditure. This policy was set during 2017 and constitutes a reduction from the previous policy of maintaining not-less-than three month’s unrestricted expenditure. This policy is intended to demonstrate to funders that we are fully committed to using our resources to the maximum good effect, and not ‘sitting on’ cash. This provides sufficient funds to cover parish management and administration as well as the activities directly relating to the work of the Church. The PCC confirms that unrestricted funds were maintained at least at the level of one month’s expenditure throughout 2022 and that this policy will be reviewed during 2023.

It is the PCC’s current policy to invest surplus funds with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund.

A note on the use of Building Assets

Some thought has been given in the past, by the PCC, to releasing the capital which is locked up in our various other buildings - and this topic is often raised by well-wishers. However, the PCC has found that this is difficult to accomplish (because many of the buildings are tied up with deeds of trust, preventing their sale for just such a purpose).

Furthermore, the PCC presently judges that maintaining a constant in-flow of revenue from rents is in the best long-term interest of the parish. This is especially the case while current UK-wide trends indicate that we are entering a period of lower attendance and commitment to organised religion in general. Current UK economic pressures also reduce the ability of church members to contribute to church funds. Keeping assets that bring in revenue is considered by the PCC to be a good longterm stewarding strategy. In simple terms, it is likely that most of our assets will bring more revenue to the parish over the next 25 years than their sale now would realise. Our assets are therefore considered as a way of sustaining mission in the long term – not a ‘quick fix’ for our present challenges. The PCC may decide to acquire more building assets in the future (through mortgaged purchase) to both alleviate housing problems for local people and provide long-term assets for the parish.

Trust Funds

The PCC holds a number of trust funds, generated from the previous sale of parish assets. These funds, together, had a net asset value of £77,785 at the end of 2022 a decrease from £88,633 in 2021 (£82,476 in 2020).

10. STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES

The Members of the PCC are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the PCC and of the surplus or deficit of the PCC for the period. In preparing those financial statements, the PCC is required to:

a) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

23

• b) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• c) prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the PCC will continue in operation.

The members of the PCC are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the PCC. They are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the PCC and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Faith Havant confirms that it is aware of these responsibilities and that it has exercised them to the best of its ability.
