    ANNUAL REPORT 2019 Pilgrimage to the Shrine of St Alban 2019 Companions on the Way Serving God and his People St John’s, Notting Hill A N N U A L R EP O R T 2019 Drawing on biblical and early church material, and on earlier St John’s statements and documents, we wish to identify ourselves as being on a journey and part of God’s pilgrim people. Specifically, we identify pilgrimage with three elements: • Companionship with God • Companionship with each other • Companionship with those we meet along the way This moving and changing imagery of journeying and pilgrimage is important to us. God’s people and the building of the church are not static. This is the framework in which we place our Annual Report 2019. 2 Services at St John’s The Church is open daily from 8.30am until 5.15pm Monday-Friday 8.45am Morning Prayer 5.00pm Evening Prayer Sunday 8.00am Holy Communion 10.30am Sung Eucharist (Once a month, an All Age format is used) 12.30pm Tagalog Mass 5.30pm Evening Prayer 6.30pm Choral Evensong – once a month. Wednesday 12.30pm Holy Communion Healing Service A healing service, with anointing with oil and the laying on of hands, is held monthly, generally at Evening Prayer, and twice a year as part of the Parish Eucharist.

    COLD MAN OF EUROPE 2015 UPDATE October 2015 Westgate House 2a Prebend Street London N1 8PT 020 7359 8000 [email protected] The Cold Man of Europe – 2015 How the UK’s housing performs against comparable European countries in terms of fuel poverty and energy efficiency. Written by Pedro Guertler, Jack Carrington and Antonia Jansz Summary This briefing compares the state of the UK housing stock and fuel poverty levels with 15 other European countries. It concludes that no other country of the 16 assessed performed as poorly overall as the UK across the range of indicators. The UK has among the highest rates of fuel poverty and one of the most energy inefficient housing stocks in Europe. Despite the fact that it has amongst the lowest energy prices, the UK ranks very poorly in terms of the affordability of space heating and fuel poverty, ranking 14th out of 16 on both indicators. It is the poor state of our housing stock that is the main cause of these problems. In terms of households reporting that their home is in a poor state of repair, the UK ranks 12th out of 16. In terms of energy efficiency, out of 11 countries for which data is available, the UK’s walls are ranked 7th, roofs are ranked 8th, floors are ranked 10th and windows are ranked 11th. The key results are shown in Table 1 below. The latest official European data are used for this briefing, and the UK’s performance compared to a previous assessment two years ago1. 1 http://www.ukace.org/2013/03/fact-file-the-cold-man-of-europe/ Association for the Conservation of Energy | briefing

  • Invest, Don't Cut the Predicted Impact of Government Policy on Funding For
    Invest, Don’t Cut The predicted impact of Government policy on funding for schools and academies by 2020 A report by NUT and ATL This report presents findings from an NUT / ATL interactive website which demonstrates the likely impact on schools and academies of the Government’s current school funding policies and its plan to redistribute existing funding between schools in England - www.schoolcuts.org.uk The interactive website allows users to access detailed predictions for every school’s funding per pupil in real terms, as affected by the Government’s proposal to implement a new funding formula for schools alongside a freeze in funding per pupil and cost increases imposed by Government. The predictions are based on publicly available government data and the most robustly constructed proposed funding formula for schools currently available. With schools already struggling to cope, the Government plans what the Institute for Fiscal Studies has described as the largest real terms cut in school funding in a generation. We know that children are already suffering – class sizes are rising, curriculum choices are being cut, pupils with special educational needs and disabilities are losing vital support and school staff are losing their jobs. Instead of investing more money in education to address the funding shortages already hitting schools and academies, the Government plans only to move existing money around the country through a new funding formula. For every school which gains from this, others will lose – and almost every school will lose when the impact of inflation and other cost increases, against which the funding freeze offers no protection, are also taken into account.

  • Annual Report Dec 2017
    LOVE BUILD TRANSFORM! JESUS COMMUNITY LIVES ANNUAL REPORT!1 2017 ! !2 ! ST JOHN’S HAMPTON WICK ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2017 ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION Full name: St John the Baptist, Hampton Wick Church of England Diocese: Diocese of London Episcopal Area: Kensington Area Archdeaconry: Middlesex Archdeaconry Deanery: Hampton Deanery Location: Church Grove, Hampton Wick, KT1 4AL Website: www.stjohnshamptonwick.org Church Office: 020 8977 7733 / [email protected] OBJECTIVES & ACTIVITIES Our Vision is to Love Jesus, Build Community and Transform Lives. Everything we do is centred on this vision. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT St John’s was reopened in 2010 as a church plant from Holy Trinity Brompton and St Stephen’s Twickenham by the Bishops of London and Kensington, in consultation with the then Parish Vicar, The Rev’d David Lund, the Hampton Deanery and the Kensington Area Council. This was within the framework of a Bishop’s Mission Order (BMO) of the Church of England in the Kensington Area of the Diocese of London. On the 1st May 2017 a new Parish was established within the structures of the Church of England, by redividing the Parish between St Mark’s Teddington and St John’s Hampton Wick. This enables us to serve our local community better and support our vision within the new Parish boundaries. The new Parish is called St John the Baptist, Hampton Wick. The church is managed by the Clergy and Parochial Church Council (PCC), under the authority of the Archdeacon of Middlesex and the Bishop of Kensington. The legal and organisational umbrella for this ministry is currently the charity known as ‘The Mission Community of St John’s Kingston Bridge’ but will be transferred legally in 2018 to a new charity called St John the Baptist, Hampton Wick.
