Stewards Report -2023-24

Firstly, | would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has served throughout the last year in the many roles that need to be filled to ensure that our church keeps functioning smoothly. It has been another busy year for Stewarding. The task of preparing the various rotas on a regular basis seems to come round all too quickly. Besides the rotas for Stewards, Readers and Intercessors, there is the most important of all the Tea and Coffee rota after Sunday Service. Our volunteers have swelled throughout the year, some of whom have more that one role! Our afterservice coffee has grown in numbers as well as cake and biscuits. It is encouraging to see new people attend and is a great opportunity to get to know your fellow member in the congregation and a chance to catch up on the weekly news in the parish. We can always use extra volunteers, so if you feel that you can spare the time you will be very welcome. Please contact me, Jill Howard-Duff or the Churchwardens, either by catching us at the end of a service or through Tina in the office. 1 look forward to meeting you.

Jill Howard-Duff Stewardship.

All Saints’ Parish Church, Headley 2023-2024

Rector’s Report 2023-2024

Rector’s APCM Report 2024

| have heard myself encourage others in the past to develop an ‘attitude of gratitude’ and, looking back over the last 12 months, | can only be hugely thankful that there is so much to be grateful for at All Saints:

e Week by week, we've seen a small but steady number of newcomers join our regulars in worship at Sunday services.
e In addition to our regular services on Thursday at 9.30am and Sundays at 8am and 10am, we have been able to offer new services: Messy Church at 3pm on the third Sunday of the month, and Simple Praise at 5pm on the fourth Sunday of the month.
e Following a successful Alpha Course last year we now have three Home Groups meeting during the week.
e Our fantastic prayer group that meets every Tuesday morning to pray for the needs of the church and community.
e Our excellent links with The Holme Church of England Primary school — | often talk of the school being my largest weekly congregation — 184 not including staff at present and am enormously grateful for the privilege of ministering to the children and staff, for their warm welcome and the opportunity to being ‘grilled’ by the children as part of their RE studies. | think Pm grateful for what is becoming an annual tradition of ending up in the stock at the annual school fete... Special mention to all the staff who work so brilliantly at The Holme and especially the Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher, Mrs Sarah Stevenson and Mrs Bev Hoe.
e Our incredible team of volunteers: our brilliant Churchwardens — Caroline Young and lan Jenkins who do so much so well behind the scenes, our Treasurer, Bob Wilson, who keeps our books in great order, Ann SherburnHall our PCC secretary who records and keep in order all of the PCC minutes and helps ensure the APCM is conducted properly and legally, Chris Millard who is constantly fixing, mending and maintaining all sorts in the Church Centre, the Church and the Churchyard, the PCC, the Social Committee, FOoASH, the Cleaning Rota, Flower Ladies, Coffee Rota, our Stewards and the many unnamed ‘unofficia? volunteers who do so much whether e.g. helping out in the office (Martin), keeping the Memorial Garden tidy (Ruth and Alan), keeping the grass short around the Church Centre (Mark) or making sure we have a reader’s rota (Jill).
e Our organist, Matthew Smith, and the faithful choir he leads. e Our amazing Administrator, Tina Wareham, who again and again goes far beyond the remit of her job description serving both new and old stakeholders of the church and church centre and who has faced family sorrow so bravely.
e An 11.5% increase in voluntary giving for the year ending 2023 and an increase in overall income of 11.6%.

APCM Report 21* April 2024

e The inimitable Helen Kempster — who as well leading services and preaching excellent sermons, is a quite superb pastoral visitor.
e Finally - but certainly not least, the obvious shared sense of God’s presence among us as we worship Him.

----- End of picture text -----

The sharper eyed among you will have noticed that accompanying our church logo are three words: loving, living, serving.

For me they encapsulate what ASH is all about, and what we are called to be and to do.

Loving: almost too obvious this one but it follows from Jesus’ summary of all the commandments — love God and love your neighbour. It’s the foundation on which all our activities, purpose, ethos, culture must be built on.

Living: In John 10:10, Jesus declares that he came that we might have life in all its fulness and abundance. Sadly, like any other institution or society some churches can become stultifying rather than flourishing and life giving and enhancing. | think, and I’m sure we'd all agree, ASH wants to provide space for quiet, deep reflection and spiritual meditation — but to the end that we are recognised as joyful, energetic, full of life. Living well, experiencing life in all its fulness, necessitates valuing both stillness and vibrancy, order and flexibility, commonality and diversity. We're to be a Technicolor people — never monochrome.

Serving: we worship a servant king, who in turn encourages each one of us to do likewise. We are called to serve God, His people the church, the community and beyond. We are called to a life of mutual submission — an attitude which gives proof of our faith and love for Him and one another.

So, as we look together as a church at where we are, reflect on where we’ve been, and dream together about where we might want to go under God’s leading, | encourage you to frame your thoughts with these three words — /oving, living, serving.

Blessings

BWV and HK were of the opinion that people liked to make a contribution towards refreshments, and that this could be interpreted as a different way of voluntary giving. BW reminded the PCC that we need to consider all income streams given the current economic climate. It was agreed that a bowl would be placed on the table but without a sign indicating that a donation was required. It was also agreed that given the squeeze on finance YD would write to those members of the church who contribute by direct debit to thank them for their contribution and to encourage a review where possible of their giving.

e Testimony: YD proposed that space be given during the Sunday Service for people to recount the testimonies of God’s presence in their lives. It was Suggested that this could become a monthly event and members of the congregation could share with others what God has been doing in their lives. There was a general discussion around this topic, ASH was of the view that personal testimonies were personal and private and this may make some people feel uncomfortable having to listen to them in a service environment. A discussion by individuals of the PCC was had and the consensus of Opinion was that this would not be taken forward.
e Tina Wareham has been undertaking a Ministry course and Yann will ask her to share her experience with the PCC at a later date to encourage others to consider this option.
e YD is keen to forge closer relationships with other Christians in the Parish. To be discussed further after the APC.,.
e YD put forward a proposal for a new church audio system. The current system is not very good for contemporary music, it is not loud enough or ‘bassy’, YD proposed that a new system be purchased and suggested a LD Curv 500PS system at a cost of £1,500. BW was of the opinion that we need to consider

APCM Report 21* April 2024

our financial priorities at this time with being behind on paying the parish share. This equipment would be used primarily for contemporary worship and therefore have limited use at other times. YD stated that this equipment would last for at least 10 years. KF did say that the equipment could possibly be used at outdoor events such at the summer BBQ. It was decided that there would not be a vote on this matter and that the proposal be kept on the ‘wish list’ which could be revisited when finances would allow. e YD requested that the PCC meetings be moved from Wednesday’s to Tuesday’s so as not to clash with the Home Groups. It was agreed that with effect from the 21st May PCC would be held on a Tuesday until further notice. Note: These minutes will be approved by the PCC at the next meeting on 21° May 2024.

This concludes the Annual Report for 2024 on the meeting of the PCC and the activities of the Parish generally in accordance with the Church representation rules part 9.

CHURCH WARDENS’ REPORT 2023-2024

This year has brought many interesting challenges so it is reassuring to be supported by our enthusiastic Rector and Curate, along with skilled members of the PCC. There has been an increase in congregation numbers over the last year and we welcome all these new faces. Yann continues to come up with new ideas to encourage attendance at the Church and he has successfully established Messy Play, Simple Praise and three Home Groups. Helen is always there to give her support despite her other responsibilities and her advice is of great help to us all. After our election in 2023, the Churchwardens were formally inducted by the then Archdeacon of Surrey, Venerable Paul Davies at a special service at St. John’s Farnham on 7 June. There was then a new Churchwardens’ Training Day at Egham on 4" November. Several safeguarding courses have also been undertaken enabling us to keep on top of changing rulings and laws. There have been numerous baptisms and weddings and the year ahead sees no let-up in numbers. We welcomed Bishop Andrew in September to confirm three members of our congregation and this service and the lunch afterwards were well attended. We had an Archdeacon’s Visitation in October when our Church Development and Church Needs Plans were discussed, and various documents and policies were checked over.

Following the closure of the churchyard in 2023 , the maintenance of the churchyard has been handed over to EHDC. They are now responsible for the clearing and tidying of hedges and trees. Chris Millard continues to lead working parties and | even caught him carrying out extra-curricular painting of the shed housing the boiler on Easter Monday.. Over and above the call of duty, surely, but it has saved a substantial sum

quoted by a company approached to do the work. We have a new noticeboard in place too, thanks to members of the congregation.

The end of the year brought problems with a “dying” boiler but, due to Bob Wilson's efficiency, we were able to have it replaced in January of this year and now have a warm and cosy Church for our services. Chris Millard worked very hard to get us the best deal and we are very grateful for all the work he put into getting us back on track. FOASH moves on in leaps and bounds and lan works tirelessly to support the Rosemary Foundation and the Women’s Refuge, as well as building up funds towards the kitchen refurbishment planned for August this year. We are looking forward to welcoming the Queen’s College Oxford choir at a sung Evensong in the Church at the end of this month. The Social Committee continues to address the many events laid on throughout the year and the months ahead show no respite in activities. Our thanks go to Tina Wareham for inspiring the team, also for her tireless work in the office sorting out the daily problems, large and small, and always with a smile on her face. We have Christine Leonard and Jo Smith to thank for the preparation of the Parish Magazine and our thanks also go to Alison Head and her team for its distribution. Last but not least, we have a great team of flower ladies who ensure that the Church is always looking its best.

We would very much like the support of Churchwarden deputies so if anyone is interested, then please speak to lan or Caroline. There is far more involved than just ensuring the smooth running of the services, and getting to know the congregation and seeing how the Church operates is all very rewarding.

Caroline Young Church Warden

Friends of All Saints Headley (FoASH): Chairman’s Report

Saturday 29 April 2023 was the official launch of the Friends, celebrated with a public church open day. The church was decorated with beautiful flowers and dressed as if in preparation for a celebration of baptism, wedding, Eucharistic and funeral. The day was well attended by churchgoers and a few members of the general public, with popular cream teas available in the church centre.

In May a coach trip to Oxford was organised with official guided tours in the afternoon and Evensong at the Queens College, our patron. Although the coach was not full, the visit was most enjoyable with Oxford en fete as it was exam season. Chaplain Revd Alice Watson was unable to meet us then but kindly brought her family to All Saints in September and preached at morning Eucharist, reinforcing the historic link with our patron college. Future day coach trips are being planned for various destinations. A FoASH Trustees meeting was held on 12 July 2023. On Saturday 16 September 2023 a Wedding Dress Celebration was held in All Saints, organised by FoASH. Over twenty dresses were on display, covering several generations, with hundreds of visitors making it a real celebration. Cream teas were available again and considerable donations were accrued.

APCM Report 21* April 2024

The latter part of the year was dominated by the church boiler problems, soon after the church centre boiler needed replacement, which reinforces the need to retain some financial support for the fabric. FoASH does not have sufficient funds for these issues for now, we rely on general funds for the solution.

The first major event of 2024 was the Rosemary Foundation Curry Lunch on 14 February 2024. This raised £685 which was donated entirely to the Foundation as a local and worthy charity. This annual event is firmly in place in the calendar and support for the event is much appreciated. On 2 March 2024, a concert took place in church with Antonia Richards, soprano, Caleb Curtis, cello, and Daniel King, piano, which was much enjoyed with interval drinks and a separate small reception afterwards. Proceeds of the evening were shared with the artists with over £600 devoted to FoASH funds. Although not a FoASH event, an Evensong with the choir and organists of Queens College Oxford is scheduled at All Saints Headley for 1600 on 28 April 2024. This is in recognition of our links with our patron and is, therefore, a once in 30 years event as it is conducted as a single, annual event shared around the 30 parishes of which Queens College is patron. On 3 May 2024 Robert Hardman, celebrated author, journalist and Royal correspondent, will give a talk, ‘Charles III and the Modern Monarchy’ in All Saints Headley church for the benefit of FoASH.

| am most grateful for all the support that | have received from the Trustees, Friends and others who have contributed so significantly to the FoASH successes to date. Thank you all.

Churchyard

We have had two successful working parties in the churchyard, although it rained for the second. A big thank you to all volunteers.

There are always small and large jobs that need to be done in the churchyard. Please contact Chris Millard (07768-463696) to pick a suitable job or adopt a small part of the churchyard to look after at your convenience.

Further work parties will be scheduled.

All Saints Flower Group Report 2023-2024

This group of thirteen talented and enthusiastic ladies continue to keep fresh flowers in church throughout the year and to push the boat out for festivals at Easter, Harvest and Christmas.

We are very proud of the fact that we are self sufficient in funds and never have to ask the PCC for money. Each arranger who does the pedestal for two weeks is entitled to £20 towards buying flowers and although half of the ladies are not church goers they very often do not claim this allowance. Our only money raising event of the year is our wreath making morning at the end of November. This was well supported in 2023 and was very enjoyable and profitable. At Easter many people give money for lilies in memory of loved ones. This enables us to make a good show at a time of year when flowers are expensive. If anyone wishes to pay for a pedestal in memory of someone close during the year, the group will happily arrange it.

Musical Director’s Report

Currently there are fifteen regular choir members who could attend the 10.00 Sunday morning family services. Over the course of the year numbers in attendance has fluctuated owing to matters of health and other commitments.

APCM Report 21* April 2024

Having got to know the choir better | have a clearer understanding of their musical performances. More hymns from Mission Praise have been chosen for the Sunday morning mass. The choir have sung for one wedding and recently, one funeral.

From late September up until Christmas last year, preparation for the Nine Lessons was the main focus, and the carol celebration on the 17* December was very successful. Since “extras” had joined the choir, their number had grown to 26. Further to the many compliments received with regard to the choir’s performance, | was given some useful ideas for next Christmas (ranging from medieval to modern). Easter Sunday morning was an interesting experiment as Yann, who took the service, was also the cantor for the Peruvian Gloria.

The main priorities are: to increase our tenors and basses, and generally to increase attendance; to include a wider range of musical styles in keeping with the mass, and possibly, as a closing hymn, to occasionally offer something new to the congregation. As ever, | am grateful to everyone for their ideas and suggestions.

Church Centre and Social Committee -Tina Wareham

Church Centre activities and Social Committee activities can be found in the Parish Review section under the PCC meetings. Tina has worked tirelessly going beyond her remit to ensure that the church centre lettings and repairs have run smoothly. The social committee hold regular meetings to discuss fund raising events, and arranging for the activities that surround church life. The PCC would like to thank Tina for her hard work and express their condolences in her recent family bereavement.

Report by PCC

Safeguarding at All Saints Church, Headley- Report for APCM April 2024

| am pleased to say that | have not been made aware of any Safeguarding matters within the Parish during the last twelve months. Nevertheless, Safeguarding should always be high on the priority of our Congregation and as a Church we must never become complacent about issues which could be happening all around us. It is essential that Safeguarding remains integral to all that we do. This remains a shared responsibility for all PCC members and all members of the congregation.

APCM Report 21° April 2024

Parish Dashboard: The Parish Dashboard is up and running. It is a very useful tool and reminder for what needs to be done and can be updated with information, dates that matters have been agreed and more.

Training:It is now mandatory that all PCC members complete three on-line training courses (Basic, Foundation and Awareness of Domestic Abuse). | am pleased to report that most PCC members are up to date with this training. However, there is now a fourth on-line training available for all PCC members — Modern slavery (arranged by the Clewer Institute). | urge all members to complete this as soon as possible. | have completed the course myself and was made aware that a report in 2018 suggested that there are probably 40.3 million people enslaved Worldwide, which is considerably more people than at the height of the historic Slave trade during the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries. Realistically, this is happening very close by, possibly in our own parish and the more people who can spot the signs and do something about it, we can hopefully makea real difference.

DBS Checks: | have completed a few DBS checks during the last twelve months mainly from people whose previous check had expired and needed to be refreshed but one or two new checks taken out. Some Childrens activities have restarted in the church — Messy Church where the parents are present, so no checks are necessary and ASH puppets which takes place twice a month and all leaders and helpers have a DBS check in place.

Mothers’ Union Report

December 2023

Due to lack of numbers in our individual churches, the local Mother's Union currently has members from Headley, Hindhead and Churt, we also have had members from Bordon and Grayshott in previous years. We meet on the first Tuesday of the month at Manormead Retirement Home where many ladies who have been active members now reside but are unable to get out to meetings. Membership is not restricted and anyone including men can join if they are interested in providing support to Families in Need around both the UK and the World.

The first meeting of 2023 was about the Diocesan Eco-Church programme and proved to be very interesting and informative, culminating in our finding out that St Alban’s Church had received a Bronze Award. Other interesting talks were about Modern Slavery, and working with Special Needs Children, Mary Sutton led us in a brilliant Lent Reflection and 2023 ended with Helen Kempster, MU Diocesan Chaplin leading our Christmas Carol Service at Manormead.

During 2023 we paid our second visit to Upton Grey Gardens on a wet, windy and cold day in June, but the garden still shone through the overcast sky to remain in our memories. This year we have provided a further 32 toilet bags to Royal Surrey County Hospital, bringing our total to 310.

APCM Report 21° April 2024

Other projects have included knitting for new-born babies in Africa and knitted goods for The Ukraine and for Basingstoke’s Maternity ward as well as some for Baby Basics which provides young mothers in England with a Moses Basket containing an assortment of essentials for a new born baby.

Everyone is welcome to attend our meetings and for information please contact Kathy Catt.

HEADLEY ALL SAINTS PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL Registered Charity Number: 1127424 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 FINANCIAL REVIEW

The overall result for 2023 was a surplus of £301. The giving from our parishioners was up by £5,332 at £61,920 on which we recovered gift aid of £13,629. Thank you to everyone who increased their giving during the year. The income from fees for weddings and funerals also increased to produce £12,105.

The Church Centre lettings, which is managed by Tina, produced income of £9,907. Like everyone, we were affected by high energy costs for gas and electricity which more than doubled costing £4,531.

The social committee was very active during the year and raised a total of £4,166 after expenses froma range of events from an organ recital to a quiz and a successful celebration of the Coronation of Charles 111.

Income from investments produced £6,160 an increase of £278 from the previous year. The investments are required to be valued at each year end and | am pleased to report that their value increased by £4,742 which partly compensated for the loss in the previous year of £12,923. Investments are held for the long term and their performance over the years has been good and provided valuable income.

The freehold property we hold was let throughout the year and produces valuable rental income although we had the cost of replacing the central heating boiler but a net surplus of £9,188 was achieved.

We continued to monitor expenses and reduce costs wherever possible. As was the case with the church centre, the energy costs of heating and lighting the Church more than doubled at £6,750. Towards the end of the year the Church boiler failed and a replacement has been installed for which a provision has been made in the accounts of £7,000. We should be warm for many years to come!

It is with regret that, for the second year in succession, we were unable to pay the Parish Share to the Diocese in full and we were short by £14,509 of the £87,059 requested. We did, however, receive a refund, along with all the other parishes in the Diocese, of £1,000 towards our energy costs and a rebate for 2022.

The budget for 2024 approved by the PCC is a deficit of £13,748. This includes the Diocesan Parish Share requested for 2024 of £90,735 which represents the single biggest expense of the Church. The pressures on our finances are as great as ever.

We are grateful to all those who recently responded so generously in increasing their financial support to All Saints Headley.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2023

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations’ "true and fair view" provisions FRS 102 as the applicable accounting standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP(FRS 102) effective from 1 January 2019). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets and freehold property, which are shown at market value. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members. Funds Endowmentfunds are funds, the capital of which must be maintained; only income arising from investment of the endowment may be used either as restricted or unrestricted funds depending upon the purpose for which the endowment was established.

Restrictedfunds represent (a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest, and (b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund.

Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes. Income and Endowments Planned giving, collections and donations are recognized when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognized when it is receivable. All income and endowments are accounted for gross. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. Expenditure Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is the amount paid in the year and is £14,509 less than requested from the Diocese. All other expenditure is generally recognized when it is incurred and is accounted for gross. Fixed assets Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10(2) of the Charities Act 2011. Movable church furnishings held by the rector and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the church's inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Subsequently no individual item has cost more than £1,000 so all such expenditure has been written off when incurred. The church house was revalued at December 2022. No depreciation is provided on buildings as the currently estimated residual value of the property is not less than its carrying value and the remaing usuful life of this asset currently exceeds 50 years, so that any depreciation charges would be immaterial. Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight-line basis over four years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £2,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.

Investments are valued at market value at 31 December 2023. 5

The freehold property is located at 7 Windmill Drive, Headley Down. The Church Centre is insured for £613,770 but since it is on land vested in the Diocesan authority on behalf of the PCC, it can be given no meaningful value (PCC minutes of 27/11/95).

Independent examiner’s report to the PCC

Respective responsibilities of the PCC and the examiner

Basis of this report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC anda comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently | do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements e to keep accounting records in accordance with Part 8, Chapter 1, section 130 of the Act; and e to prepare financial statements, which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the Act and the Regulations have not been met; or

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. kdft Who.
