Special thanks to Helen Ford and the Messy Church Team for their commitment to Messy Church and to Toby Dubreuil, LJ and Reuben for sharing their terrific musical gifts at Simple Praise. 2 APCM 13[th] April 2025 • Home Groups provide a great vehicle for growing as disciples and sharing our lives. Thanks again to Floss and Nick Mitchell for leading the Monday group. - Ian Jenkins has led a brilliant Advent Course (and currently leading a - popular Lent Course!) • Our fantastic prayer group that meets every Tuesday morning to pray for the needs of the church and community – please make use of the prayer requests book at the back of the church – it is used every week. • Our excellent links with The Holme Church of England Primary school – I often talk of the school being my largest weekly congregation – 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. 2025 will see some changes as the Headteacher, Sarah Stevenson, has just retired. A retirement tea was held in the church centre in her honour last month. I look forward to working with the new Headteacher, Campbell McArthur, next term. • Our incredible team of volunteers: our brilliant Churchwardens – Caroline Young and Ian Jenkins who do so much so well behind the scenes, our Treasurer, Bob Wilson, who keeps our books in great order, Ann Sherburn-Hall 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, FoASH, the Cleaning Rota, Flower Ladies, Coffee Rota, our Stewards and the many unnamed ‘unofficial’ 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 entre (Paul Heath) or making sure we have a reader’s rota (Jill). - Our organist, Matthew Smith, and the faithful choir he leads. - 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. I have never seen a church office with so many visitors in it! - An incredible 21.8% increase in regular giving for the year ending 2024 and - an increase in overall income of 13.8% - wonderful news at a time when many are feeling the pinch. • The inimitable Helen Kempster – who as well leading services and preaching excellent sermons, is a quite superb pastoral visitor. - Finally - but certainly not least, the obvious shared sense of God’s presence - among us as we worship Him. ## **The key elements of the report were highlighted at the meeting.** Rev Yann Dubreuil gave an overview of his Report for 2025. There has been a steady increase in the number of people attending church as well as the various activities. Messy Church (MC) and Simple Praise (SP) are held on the 3[rd] Sunday each month 3 APCM 13[th] April 2025 and are well established in the calendar. A big thank you to the MC Team for their commitment and to Toby Dubreuil, IJ and Reuben for sharing their musical gifts at Simple Praise. Home groups continue to grow and flourish and provide a venue for the church, growing disciples and sharing lives. Thanks to Floss and Nick Mitchell for leading the Monday Group. An additional group will be coming soon. Advent and Lent Courses led by Ian Jenkins gave an opportunity to those present to hear from others about what God is doing in their lives. Tuesday prayer group is working well with a dedicated group. Holme School is undergoing changes with the retirement of Sarah Stevens and the arrival of the new Headteacher Campbell McArthur next term. Rev. Yann Dubreuil said that he was enormously grateful for the privilege of ministering to the children and staff on a weekly basis. There is an incredible team of volunteers, Church Wardens, and the ‘behind the scenes’ teams who keep the church running daily. Chris Millard is constantly fixing, mending and generally looking after the fabric of the church. The social committee who has kept the Alpha course going with supper after each meeting. Helen, our curate who does so much and who cannot be with us today please remember her in your prayers as she recovers from a chest infection. There are so many people to thank for their contribution to the running of our wonderful church, and finally we give thanks to God for his strength in all our endeavours. ## **Annual Reports- SEE APPENDIX I** The annual reports on the activities of the church were included in the APCM Report for 2024-2025.

Bob Wilson Hon Treasurer.** Bob gave a short address to the meeting on the financial situation. He announced that the Parochial Share of £95 047, was paid in full for the year 2024. Giving increased with a rise in the congregation committing to a monthly standing order. Income from the Church House was £13k, Magazine surplus £3,400, and church hall lettings achieved a £3,700 surplus. Parochial fees were down, due to fewer weddings and with the closure of the churchyard there will be no further income from burials..

The income for this 4 APCM 13[th] April 2025 expenditure came from the Elsie Watkins Fund.

The post Alpha group and the home groups will be holding a social evening at the Holly Bush so that the groups can continue to develop the friendships that were established during the courses. All are welcome to attend. Rev Dubreuil stated that he was excited at looking to the future, working with those involved in the Parish Development Plan and where it will lead Headley in the future. Rev Dubreuil thanked everyone who attended the APCM, noting the encouraging turnout.

This affected the lighting, sound system, wifi and clock mechanism, resulting in protracted work to APCM Parish Review May 2024- March 2025 Final rectify all systems and take the opportunity to conduct an upgrade where possible. Our Treasurer, Bob Wilson, effected a very satisfactory financial solution with our (new) insurers. The lighting strike occurred just after a wonderful Choral Evensong (28 April) with the choir of Queens College, Oxford and officiated by Revd Alice Watson. A congregation of 171 from across the parish attended. A Churchwardens’ Admission Service was held at St Nicholas Church, Peper Harrow 0n 17 June, conducted by Venerable Catharine Mabuza, our new Archdeacon of Surrey. The Rector also attended. The Holme Trust was formally transferred to the CWs and a donation of £1000 was made to the school to support the new audio/visual equipment project, supplementing a similar donation from other church funds. A commitment was made to open All Saints Headley daily from 1 September to allow parishioners and visitors the opportunity for prayer and contemplation, as well as general visits . Linda Withey was adopted as a Deputy CW. After a short delay of a few days the church opening commenced with a new altar cross, designed and made by Bruce Gardner using wood from South Africa, his birthplace. It is a perfect addition to the fabric. A PCC Strategy Awayday was held on 8 September, followed by Harvest, Vision and Stewardship Sundays. These particular services will feature annually. Annual training for CW was held on 9 November 2024 attended by Caroline Young. Ian Jenkins was absent due to illness. Next year the training will be held on 22 November 2025. An Advent Course was conducted by the CW with over 20 participants, daily readings and a weekly discussion group. Advent, Christmas, Candlemas and Epiphany were busy seasons with a gradual increase in congregation numbers which continues. A Lent Course, led by the CW, has been successful with lively weekly discussions. Confirmation will, this year, be held at Guildford Cathedral on 19 April, with representation from All Saints Headley. Support is encouraged. An Architect (Adam Hieke (Nye Saunders)) has finally been appointed to conduct our Quinquennial Inspections with the next one scheduled for 7 May 2025. We look forward to Holy Week and a glorious Easter. The next Choral Evensong will be on 11 May 2025 with the choir of St Thomas on the Bourne. ## **Caroline Young** ## **Ian Jenkins** ## **Churchwardens** 21 APCM Parish Review May 2024- March 2025 Final ## **Friends of All Saints Headley (FoASH) Chairman’s Report 2025: Ian Jenkins** The year 2024/2025 has been a great success not only in fund raising but also in advancing the presence and purposes of the Friends organisation, not only to the Churchgoing community but also to the community at large. The general public have supported a number of events throughout the year which has assisted our fundraising activities but also, as an added benefit, it has allowed us to reach out to the community and raised awareness of the Church and its availability to all, particularly as it has been possible to open the Church daily. Numbers of Friends contributing has increased over the last twelve months and I am grateful to everyone for their financial and personal support. I am particularly grateful to the Trustees, for their assistance, advice and support activity throughout the year. We welcome any new nominations to join the Trustees and have been joined this year by James (Jim) Wood. This year we heard a most interesting topical Royal talk by Robert Hardman (May), organised a coach day trip to Bath (September), held a celebratory ‘60s Night in the Church centre with musical entertainment from Deja Who? (October), organised a Westminster Abbey evening tour accompanied by the Purcell Club choir (January), and have successfully catered for the annual Rosemary Foundation Curry Lunch (February). With some funds now becoming available we have been able to purchase a commercial dishwasher for the Church centre, we are progressing plans for a full kitchen refurbishment in August this year and we are drawing up a costed list of projects to improve the Church centre facilities and enhance user and visitor experience. Similarly, although the Church fabric condition is very good it is under constant review and some projects are being investigated. All these items fall under the capability remit of the Friends so that financial support can deliver tangible benefits. The Quinquennial Inspection due on 7 May 2025 will highlight any necessary or priority work for the Friends to consider in conjunction with the Churchwardens and PCC. Current FoASH funding consists of £5086.94 in the current account, £25000 on an instant access earning interest account and we await a Councillor Grant 2024/2025 of £703.64 from East Hampshire District Council (EHDC)(Councillor Anthony Williams). Ian Jenkins (Chairman) 31 March 2025 ## **All Saints Church, Headley Buildings and Grounds sub-committee: April 2025 Chris Millard** ## **Work completed during the year.** - Churchyard maintenance: the work by the council team continues to keep our churchyard looking smart. - The boiler shed has had insulation added which will improve the weatherproofing, essential now that the boiler is outside the church walls. - Mark continues to support us with occasional work, especially mowing the grass around the Church Centre. Harmes & Co Roofing completed a series of roofing repairs around the Church and Church Centre. Other small maintenance incidents are addressed as they occur. APCM Parish Review May 2024- March 2025 Final ## **Further work required.** - The noticeboard by the Lytch gate needs to be replaced with a weatherproof noticeboard (approx. £250). The current one is open to the weather and the wood is rotted. The metal posts at the front of the Church Centre need to be repainted – volunteers required. The gate at the end of the long churchyard has a temporary repair but needs a new post to replace the one that rotted. - To keep an eye on: The Church Centre ceiling is in a poor state of repair. (In conjunction, it would save money in heating if we could increase the insulation above the ceiling.) The lighting in the Church Centre needs to be replaced with LED. The current strip lights are beyond their safe lifetime and are buzzing where the ballast has aged. Chris is speaking to electricians. - **Churchyard:** Unfortunately, it has not been possible to organize working parties during the past year. Whilst the council team manage to do the grass and some hedges there is a lot more needed to repel nature. We are looking for a volunteer to organise the Spring and Autumn working parties. 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. Thank you. ## **SOCIAL COMMITTEE REPORT AND CHURCH HALL TINA Wareham** ## **Church Centre Lettings** The Church Centre continues to be a very busy venue, with regular users and ‘one off’ hires. We are in the envious position that we have no regular spots that we can offer. The Arford Bells have started using the hall on a Monday as the Pavilion is being redesigned and have asked if they can continue with us permanently. There are some planned works including rebuffing the floor to be done this year. ## **SOCIAL COMMITTEE** The Social Committee has been very busy this year and offers a variety of events to, hopefully, cater for everyone. The profits made from these events helps finance ‘hospitality’ eg Bishop’s Visit, Alpha Courses, Seder Feast, the Community Breakfast, after service refreshments etc , any surplus goes into the church funds. We have already got the rest of the year planned, so keep an eye open for dates …things in the pipeline are Hymns & Pimm’s, the Safari Supper (rescheduled to September). We have a very strong hard working committee who arrange and cater for all of our events, we are truly blessed. ## **Tina Wareham** ## **Farnham Deanery Synod: Chris Millard** : APCM report 13[th] April 2025 ## **Area Dean: Rev. Richard Bodle (Hindhead)** The Deanery Synod is a forum where the parishes in Farnham Deanery come together and share information and experience with the objective that all can share by working together. In the past year there has been a special focus on: APCM Parish Review May 2024- March 2025 Final **Moving Towards Net Zero** – many good ideas how parishes can reduce their carbon footprint and help the community address the global climate crisis. **Discipleship / Making Disciples** – the training that is available in Guildford Diocese for the lay community to take on ministry roles in their parishes. Date of next meeting is in October. Details to be confirmed. If anyone would like further information on the topics addressed or on the Deanery Synod, please contact Chris Millard (Deanery Synod secretary). ## **Parish Magazine Report APCM 2025: Christine Leonard** The magazine continues to appear ten times a year with two double issues. The same small group continues to oversee the production. Jo Smith assemblies the monthly articles, Jo Canning is responsible for the annual preparation of adverts for printing. Alison Head is responsible for distribution and Christine Leonard overseas advertising and editorial control. There are 650 Copies produced each month. The magazine is excellent value for money at just £10 per year that includes delivery by a very willing band of volunteers. Content of the magazine includes reports from local clubs and societies, programme of services from all local churches, adverts for upcoming events and useful local information. Commercial advertising is set for a full year and there has been no increase in prices for the past year. The magazine is of a high quality and printed by Imprint Colour who are located in Aldershot. ## **All Saints Flower Group Report 2025 : Christine Leonard** This group of 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 is one of the cheapest classes on offer in the area and was well supported in 2024. It 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. The ladies always make an effort to coordinate colours and styles for weddings. ## **Church Cleaning- Carole Hampson** A big thank you to all those who participate in cleaning the church . There are 20 on the rota, we always welcome extra team members. The church silver has been cleaned for Easter and the forthcoming inspection. A deep clean is carried out twice APCM Parish Review May 2024- March 2025 Final a year, which if followed by refreshments for all the team. We pride ourselves on keeping our church clean and tidy. ## **Musical Director’s Report: Matthew Smith ALCM LLCM (td) RGMS** Currently, there are fifteen regular choir members who can attend the 10.00 Sunday morning family services. Although the numbers have remained stable over the year we are in need of singers to swell our tenor section. With more tenors we can increase our range of choice. From September onwards the choir prepared for the Christmas celebration of the Nine Lessons on the 22[nd] December 2024. Out of the six choir carols selected, we tackled four new pieces. One had been recently composed and presented an interesting challenge. With eighteen in attendance, we were fewer in number with only a handful of extras to help out. In spite of this our choir were in good voice and succeeded in filling the space with a fullness of sound. Throughout the year a regular selection from the Mission Praise has been chosen and one of the aims is to hopefully familiarise the congregation with these new inclusions. The main priorities are: to increase our tenors, and generally to attract more people to join our choir. To try to square the old with the new (in my opinion, always a good combination) by introducing a wider range of musical styles in keeping with the mass. As always, I am grateful to everyone for their ideas and suggestions. Matthew Smith ALCM LLCM(td) FGMS ## **Safeguarding at All Saints Church Headley: Report for APCM April 2025: Margaret Locke: Safeguarding Officer and DBS Verifier** I have not been made aware of any serious Safeguarding matters that have needed reporting within the Parish during the last twelve months. The PCC of All Saints, Headley has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and clergy discipline measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to House of Bishops guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults). The Safeguarding Policy of All Saints, Headley is available to view on the noticeboards around the Church and Church Centre and is also available on the front page of the website https://www.allsaintsheadley.org.uk/ Safeguarding should always be high on the priority of our Congregation to ensure that children and vulnerable adults are kept as safe as possible, and it is vital for good safeguarding within our Church to play a preventative role in protecting people from exploitation. Good Safeguarding should very much be a shared responsibility for all Clergy, PCC members and members of the congregation. **Parish Dashboard:** The Parish Dashboard has now become a valuable source of keeping up to date with Safeguarding and training matters. It is a very useful tool and reminder for what needs to be done and can be updated with information, dates that APCM Parish Review May 2024- March 2025 Final matters have been agreed and more. Information is constantly changing and needs to be updated regularly. **Training:** It is now mandatory that all PCC members complete three on-line training courses (Basic, Foundation and Awareness of Domestic Abuse). Many of the courses have been completed but there is a need to renew some of them as information is constantly changing. The courses are regularly updated. Guildford Diocese are also recommending a fourth on-line training available for all PCC members – Modern slavery (arranged by the Clewer Institute). Many members have completed this already and hopefully other members will complete it soon. **DBS Checks:** Some DBS checks have been renewed during the last twelve months, and some more are due to be renewed during the next few months. Some children’s activities are taking place 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. ## **ASH Puppets report APCM 2025** The Puppet group started 19 years ago, at Easter 2006, first to use puppets in Sunday School and then as a youth club with up to 14 young people at one time. We have run after-school clubs at The Holme, performed at school assemblies and fetes and village events n Bordon, Grayshott and Headley. We participated in charity fundraising functions from Whitehill and Hollycombe to Aldershot and Balham. Additionally, the team have supported church services at Blackmoor, Bordon, Headley Down and Grayshott, as well as here at All Saints. Since stopping activities during Covid – apart from video performances - we have scaled down and returned to our core mission of puppet ministry. We now perform regularly at Lindford Methodist Church’s Praise and Worship service on the third Sunday each month and also at Messy Church here. We are happy to welcome new members, both children and adults, and we meet in the Church Centre on the first and third Fridays of each month. ## **Frances Morgan, Fiona Ryland, John Ryland** ## **Mothers’ Union Report for 2024** In the year 2024, the local branch of the Mothers’ Union held monthly meetings at Manormead Retirement Home for Clergy in Hindhead. We had a variety of speakers or special events including a talk entitled ‘Volunteer Blood Runners’, a presentation on English Cathedrals, the Acorn Healing programme and tea at Willow Grange. We provided 36 emergency toilet bags to RSCH for patients who were unable to bring toiletries to hospital with them and a variety of items knitted for children in East Africa (approx. 200 pieces), Twiddle Muffs for Dementia patients at RSCH and hats and gloves for the Mission to Seafarers as well as Canula Mittens for the Premmie Unit at Basingstoke Hospital. We are also please that we have additionally provided a cash donation to Manormead for the needs of the chapel. APCM Parish Review May 2024- March 2025 Final We are always in need of knitted goods so if you would like to help contact Kathy for details/patterns, we can usually provide the wool. Donations of wool and small personal toiletries such as those handed out on airlines would be most welcome. ## **Kathy Catt** ## **This concludes the APCM Report for 2025** 27 APCM 13￿ Apri12025 APPENDIX11 HEADLEY ALL SAINTS PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNaL Re￿ered Charity Number: 1127424 FINANCIAL sfATEMEp¥fs FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 FINANaAL REVIEW The overall result for 2024 was a surplus of £2.62Z The giving from our parlshioners was up by £10,168 at £72.088 on which we recovered gift aid of £16.014.
