Annual Report for 2016 Background The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Knaphill with Brookwood, has the responsibility of co-operating with the Incumbent in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. PCC were delighted to welcome the new incumbent, the Revd Neil Hopkins at his investiture on 7 September 2016 and look forward to working with him. Within the parish there are two Anglican Worship Centres: Holy Trinity, Knaphill and St Saviour’s, Brookwood. The PCC has maintenance responsibilities for the two Church building complexes together with St Saviour’s House. The Diocese owns and has responsibility for maintaining Trinity House (the Incumbent’s residence). The PCC is formed of people from both St Saviour’s and Holy Trinity working to a common mission, sharing as many resources as is practicable and encouraging both shared and local initiatives. The current Mission Statement of the Church is Making Jesus visible by Word and Power. PCC Membership Members of the PCC are either ex officio or elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (“APCM”) in accordance with the Church Representation Rules. During the year the following served as members of the PCC: Incumbent: The Revd Neil Hopkins (invested 7 Sept 2016) Associate Minister The Revd Dr Julie Levett Curate / Pioneer Schools Minister The Revd Chrissie Lacey (resigned May 2016) Treasurer Helen Simmons Warden John Durrant Warden Mike Hawkins (resigned APCM 2016) Warden Christina Hunt (appointed APCM 2016) Associate Warden StS Susan Kaufman Reader Bob Bailey Deanery Synod Representative SS Kath Brooks Deanery Synod Representative Neil Wells Elected member John Dusek (resigned APCM 2016) Elected member Roy Clare Elected member (and Secretary) Nigel Warburton (resigned APCM 2016) Deanery Synod Representative Clare Leigh Elected member Olivia Moses (appointed APCM 2016) Elected member Joshua Levett (appointed APCM 2016) Elected member Yvonne Craven (co-opted April 2016) Elected member Vicki Veness (appointed APCM 2016) Elected member Thomas Bowen (co-opted July 2016) Elected member (and Secretary) Yvonne Frew (appointed APCM 2016)
Committees The PCC also operated through the Standing Committee which met between full meetings of the PCC and two other groups or committees: Standing Committee: This is the only committee required by law. It has the power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council. Safeguarding Working Group: This currently comprises June Luker (Parish safe guarding representative for Children), Julie Levett and Simon Holroyd (Parish safe guarding representative for Vulnerable Adults). Neil Hopkins has is now part of this group. It meets three times a year to review Safeguarding Policy & operation, and make recommendations to the PCC. It also includes other matters e.g. DBS checks, Confidential Declaration forms and Safeguarding training. Holy Trinity Pre-School Management Committee PCC has a wholly owned subsidiary called Holy Trinity Pre-School Ltd. This company runs a pre-school and breakfast club at Holy Trinity Church Hall. In line with Ofsted requirements, the Pre School is run by a committee. Members of this committee are Julie Levett (chair), Sarah Gill (Manager), Helen Simmons (Treasurer), Sarah Bowman (staff representative), Cathy Hayes Allen (secretary), Katie Terry (parent representative). The committee meet termly to discuss the running of the Pre School and Helen reports back regularly from the Committee to PCC. During the year the full PCC met 9 times, and Standing Committee met 8 times. Reports of the activities of the other committees were received by the full PCC and discussed where necessary. During this period two teams continued to progress potential changes to both our sites, reporting regularly to PCC. One has been focusing upon how best to adapt the Holy Trinity Site in order to improve it for future church and preschool use. The other has been focusing upon developing St Saviour’s Church so that it is more flexible for greater Sunday and midweek use. These two teams comprise both PCC members and other Church members. Progress from these teams is outlined later in this report. Significant matters discussed and agreed by the PCC were as follows [more details follow on several of these]:
Following the required procedures to find and then appoint a new vicar;
Considering the best solution to the on-going heating problems at Holy Trinity
St Saviour’s Church refurbishment
Buildings and grounds at Holy Trinity
Discussion of the Diocesan twelve transformation goals entitled ‘Transforming Church, Transforming Lives’
Church attendance The current electoral roll comprises 177 people, 126 of whom are resident and 51 of whom are non-resident. The average Sunday attendance as measured in October 2016 was 104 adults and 27 children. These numbers increase at festivals. Financial Comments and Review of the Year Mission: It is our policy to give away to mission causes each year a sum at least equal to 10 per cent of our general fund income from the previous year. This enables us to distribute funds monthly from the start of the current year. We also keep a proportion of our tithe to give to other causes in proportions agreed by PCC. During 2016 our Mission Partners were Church Pastoral Aid Society (CPAS), Turning Point Trust, Engage, A Rocha, Kenya, and Wycliffe Bible Translators, specifically work with the Nawila community in Kenya. In addition to the tithe, the Harvest collections were split between Agape (£194) and Tear Fund (£498). Christmas collections (£2,107) were equally divided between Tear Fund, Christian Aid and Woking and Sam Beare Hospice, and the Christingle service raised £173 for The Children’s Society. A full list of all outward giving is shown in note 11.
Ministry: Ben Barnes, our youth pastor continues his work with the young people in our area. The Friday night youth club continues to go from strength to strength – we have on average of 25 teenagers attending each week – compared to 6 when Ben took over in September 2013. Ben has now undertaken the leadership of the Cabin (a local community youth club) and along with our other youth activities we have a weekly engagement with around 113 young people. We are hugely thankful for the support, skills and kindness of the many volunteers who make this work possible. He has just started a three year Masters course in Youth and Community work and Practical Theology with JNC qualification status. We wish him all the best with his studies and look forward to seeing how he applies his learning within our context. Jo Birkby continues her work as our Children and Families Worker. As well as heading up our Open the Book teams at Knaphill and Brookwood schools, Jo is involved in Youth café (with Ben), Messy church, Café church and Spark – a monthly Sunday club for years 6 to 8 as well as many other less visible things. Alongside Helen Simmons, Jo has been helping reform the Sunday morning group at Holy Trinity so that more leaders take on more responsibility in teaching the children. This group has been relaunched in January as GLO. Furthermore this January we were very excited to hear of a new group starting up at Holy Trinity – Messy Me! This is a brand new joint venture between Jo and Sarah Gill from our Preschool offering unstructured messy play for parents and their under 5’s. Each week will feature a Bible story to explore and experience through a range of very messy sensory play stations, imagining God’s story through motion and play. Julie Levett (our OLM) has been an extremely faithful servant to the Lord over the last 12 months being our most senior member of the clergy team during our vacancy. We thank her for her continuing service. We are blessed to have three LLMs serving with us. Bob Bailey, Richard Levett and David Gale have served faithfully this year during and beyond the vacancy. With a new incumbent arriving all LLMs will be reviewed by March 2017. We have a wonderful volunteer team of Pastoral Assistant’s led by Bob Bailey who provide essential and vital pastoral care alongside the incumbent. Throughout the year they have provided exceptional care to the sick, dying, bereaved and lonely members of our parish. In May 2016 we were sad to say goodbye to Chrissie Lacey as she finished her curacy and moved away with her family to start her RAF chaplaincy training. It has been a wonderful three years with Chrissie in our church family and we will miss her unique style, passion and enthusiasm for our wonderful Lord. Our loss is the RAF’s gain and we pray the Lord will bless her and her family as they settle in to their new home. In addition to our ministry team there are many people who serve and take responsibility in voluntary ways and do so much amazing work. We are fortunate to have such high quality and committed staff both paid and unpaid. We have well over 100 volunteers without whom the church could not function. Our heartfelt thanks go to all these people. Our financial statements show a surplus for the year on general funds of £537. We appreciate and thank you all for the money you have given us. Regular giving by standing order in 2016 was 8.3% greater than in 2015 however we received fewer one off gifts so our total income was 1% lower than in 2015. December 2016 standing orders are 1% higher than in December 2015. Although this is in line with official inflation rates if our transforming goals focus is on growing children’s & families and improving church buildings to be fit for the purpose of ministry to our community then we will need more money to fund these evangelic activities. Please pray about this and consider if you might be able to increase your giving. Breakfast Club and Pre School continue to be successful. Thank you to Leslie Tisdall and Sarah Gill for managing these ventures and the team members who support them. Site Developments: As mentioned above there have been two teams maintaining the Vision impetus to reshape each of our sites to be fit for mission purpose
St Saviours has hosted a number of concerts, suppers and quiz nights over the year with the dual purpose of bring the community together and raising money for the St Saviour’s regeneration project. Thank you to team at St Saviours who have worked hard to make all of these events successful. The vacancy period together with the problems with the boiler put the buildings project at Holy Trinity on ice for much of the year. However since September the PCC has started to look afresh at this and establishing priorities for development. A priority has emerged in that the Holy Trinity church building will need to be dealt with before the hall in order to a) make it a more functional space for ongoing weekly outreach to our local community; b) a more flexible and usable space for Sunday worship services; c) provide toilet and suitable office space for the staff team; and d) a facility to be used by pre-school while the church hall is developed. Due to the hall facilities becoming tatty, worn and in need of updating the PCC made the decision to refurbish the toilet facilities in the hall over the Christmas holidays. Furthermore, while any investigation into how the hall could potentially be redeveloped for community use the PCC also want to see how we can improve its decor and usage in the short-term. The boiler situation is on-going. We have taken advice from engineers and are satisfied that we are doing all we can to protect our new boiler whilst providing reliable heating in the church. While we can ‘make good’ of what we know, that because the pipes are over 100 years old a full replacement seems inevitable. This does now tie in with our need for re-development of the Holy Trinity site as a whole. Therefore we are consulting both our architect (Anna Hummel) and the engineers as to potential heating solutions that complement possible development plans for the church building. Financial Review In all £230,412 was spent to provide the Christian ministry from Holy Trinity Church and St Saviour’s Church. This included the diocesan parish share of £72,612, which helps support mission across the diocese by primarily providing stipends, pensions and housing for the clergy as well as training in the Diocese. The parish share is calculated according to a formula that is based on a head count of the congregations. It is our policy to invest our long term funds with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund and to place short term deposits in our HSBC Money Management account. It is also our policy to pay all our staff at least the national Living wage and, where possible the Living Wage. Unrestricted reserves are £111,434, of which £58,771 is represented by fixed assets leaving £53,056 of other assets. It is our policy to keep £50,000 for working capital purposes and we have a designated reserve of £35,000 for building maintenance purposes. We continue to review and assess the risks that affect us as they arise so that we can take the necessary action to mitigate such risks. The PCC has considered the guidance provided by the Charities Commission regarding public benefit in connection with the work of the church. Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
a) b) c) d)
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures
disclosed and explained in the financial statements. e) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue to operate.
The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
On behalf of the PCC,
