Structure, governance and management

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. The PCC operates five sub-committees – Finance, Mission, Pastoral Work, Children & Youth and Building Maintenance. A Social committee operate separately with an ex-PCC member leading.

There is also a Standing Committee of the PCC – four members plus the vicar.

Objectives and activities

The incumbent, together with members of the PCC, has the primary duty within the parish of promoting the whole mission of the church, spiritual, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical amongst all the people in the parish. In so doing we meet the Charity Commission guidelines on public benefit.

All Saints Weston’s Mission Statement has changed to reflect a new direction for the church and it is now ‘Loving God, Building Community, Sharing Jesus’.

The PCC in conjunction with the Vicar and the Churchwardens is also legally responsible for all parish finance, the fabric of the church and church hall and related matters. Maintaining the fabric of the church and hall is an important part of our outreach.

Achievements and performance

Church attendance

The Electoral Roll officer was Deb Beaney. This year the roll was completely revised. The roll was presented at the APCM with 81 people on the roll (2024 -111). 35 people live outside the Parish (2024 – 38).

The average weekly attendance was 67 (59 – year ended 31.12.24) – as reported in Guildford ‘Statistics for Mission 2025’)

In addition, there were 8 baptisms (3 in 2024), 1 wedding (1 in 2024), 4 internments (6 in 2024), 2 funerals (6 in 2024).

Our preaching support has included one Lay Preacher during the year and we have two Pastoral Assistants.

Administration

The PCC met 10 times in 2025, in person. We have been indebted to all the members of the PCC and their hard work, and the wider congregation in general.

Children and Young People

Last year has been a year of change in terms of our CYP ministry at All Saints. Shortly before Easter, Heike Heath, our pre-school children’s worker moved to a new position working in a local school.

2

This meant that the church toddler group, Fun Saints, which Heike had been running on Monday mornings, took a pause for the Summer term and the first half of the Autumn term too.

In September I began a new role as outreach worker at All Saints, the main purpose of the role being to help build relationships with those living in our local community and explore new ways of connecting with those who may not come to church. The focus of the outreach role so far has been preparing and re-launching our baby and toddler group Small Saints .

The preparation has involved building a new team of thirteen wonderful volunteers who help run the group on a Monday morning. We have spent time clearing out, cleaning up in the hall, and making sure we can offer a safe and welcoming space. Mary Herbert spent hours organising and sourcing new toys too, so we can now offer a refreshed look and feel at this new group. Hannah Ridley has developed a new logo and term cards, to go with the new name ‘Small Saints’ so that we can now advertise well on the website, social media and on other community groups. Kate Pinhey has written bespoke songs for the group to lead us a song time, and I have spent time working out half termly themes, so that the craft links with the bible story/talk that we now offer too.

The purpose of Small Saints is to be a safe. Welcoming and supportive group for parents, carers, and their young children. To offer a space founded on God’s love, where people can meet, build friendships and connect locally.

Eash week we offer homemade cake and coffee, there are different play areas for the children to play, a craft table, songs, and an encouraging Christian thought for the day, or we tell a simple bible story. We do not charge for the group but ask for a voluntary donation – suggest £2 per child.

We were able to launch Small Saints just after October half term, on Monday 3[rd] November.

So far, as a team, we are really encouraged. During the 13 weeks we have been open, people are coming and we see people connecting and building friendships. People are coming back too which is lovely, and we are getting to know the carers and children who are coming each week. We are also seeing new people, those who have heard about the group and coming to try it for the first time.

Our numbers vary but seems to be averaging around 16 carers and 23 children each week. The adults are mainly parents, and we do have childminders and grandparents too. Most seem to live locally in Weston Green, Thames Ditton and Molesey. In terms of donations, it’s early days, but so far the money received is more than covering our costs of the running the groups.

It is a joy to be able to re-launch this group, to begin to connect with our local community each Monday morning. I am so thankful to the Small Saints team who welcome, listen, and just love those in the room each week. I know they will all agree, it feels very special to be able to offer this outreach, sharing a little bit of God’s love with the carers and the children who come.

Review of the year

Ministry

Revd. Richard Rugg remained the full-time stipendiary vicar of All Saints throughout 2025. In June, Miranda Ransi joined All Saints as a part-time, self-supporting curate. Miranda volunteers two days per week during her four-year training period. In September 2025, Cathy Wise was employed on a part-time basis (10 hours per week) as the Community Outreach Worker, with the priority of launching and running a new baby and toddler group to help us connect with younger families. Debs Beaney continues in her role as Church Administrator, supporting the smooth running of the church.

3

During 2025, All Saints continued to build on our church purpose statement: Loving God, Building Community, Sharing Jesus. This year there was a particular focus on discipling and equipping the church family to be an outward-looking community ready to share Jesus with those we encounter. A small group from All Saints participated in the Leading Evangelism Learning Hub, run jointly by the Diocese of Guildford and CPAS. This hub has helped equip the All Saints community to be better prepared to share our faith with others.

Services

During 2025 we continued with our service pattern of a 9:15 Holy Communion service followed by an Informal Contemporary Family Service at 11:00 called Elevenses. During the year, we reduced the number of Said Communion services so they now only take place when there is a fifth Sunday in a month. All other Sundays are sung services, either through music played over the sound system or with organ, with the choir and organist on the third Sunday of the month. Elevenses continues with a band on the first Sunday of each month and uses video on the remaining weeks. We decided to stop Children’s Groups at this service during the summer as we did not have capacity to continue running them with the small numbers.

Numbers attending Sunday services grew slightly across the year, marking the third consecutive year of gradual growth. Across the two services, we average approximately 70 people each week, with six under-18s. This is good progress, though there is still much to be done, particularly in connecting with younger families.

At our Christmas services we saw good numbers once again, with increases from 2024. We delivered a promotional leaflet to every house in the parish, which was well received. We also hosted services for both Weston Green School and Cranmere Primary School, welcoming many parents and families into the church building.

Mid-Week Activities

In November, Small Saints — a weekly baby and toddler drop-in — was launched and has started strongly as we begin to connect with more local families. Small Saints runs weekly during term time. The monthly Communion by Extension (led by Jim Dwelly) continues on the fourth Wednesday of each month, as does the Community Lunch, which continues to serve retired and isolated members of our community.

In addition, a daytime and an evening small group continue to meet, led by Sarah Slater (daytime) and Peter Willson (evening). We also ran Alpha in spring 2025.

Pastoral

In 2025, Janine Willson took on the role of coordinating our Pastoral Care Team. Janine has been working alongside the vicar and the PSO as we seek to develop and improve our processes and the way we care for those in need.

Administration

Debs Beaney continues to work part-time (20 hours per week) in the church office. She remains a great blessing to both the church and the wider community.

Social Connection and Paint All Saints

A large number of social events took place throughout the year, both organised by the church and run by local community groups. These events helped us engage with the wider community and raise funds.

Deanery and Churches Together in the Dittons

Jim Dwelly continued as our Deanery Synod representative. There were three meetings in 2025. We also helped coordinate a prayer space at the Dittons Fair in May and hosted a healing service in October 2025.

Pastoral Care at ASW

The Pastoral Care team of All Saints, Weston has seven members including Richard Rugg, with Janine Willson acting as the team coordinator.

The team undertakes home visits where appropriate with Jim Dwelly and Richard performing home communion for those who request it. The number of home visits has been low recently.

Regular team meetings are held in which any pastoral care concerns are discussed and training takes place to ensure good practice. One member of the team has been accepted for the Lay Pastoral Visitors Course, run by Guildford Diocese, which begins in March.

The Prayer Request list is regularly reviewed by Richard and Janine with input from the Pastoral Care team when they become aware of need.

A Meal Train has also been set up for short term support for those going through a difficult time such as illness, bereavement or the arrival of a new baby.

Church warden’s annual report

I've continued my job as Church Warden throughout 2025 and was joined in the job by Nick Slater at the APCM in May 2025. It was a daunting year as we embarked on the massive job of painting and mending the outside of the Church. Richard Rugg, the vicar, also instigated some internal changes.

The church

The fabric of the church is now in a great place. Over £150,000 was raised for painting, pigeon proofing, repair of pipes and guttering and re gilding. The project was done on time and within budget.

It was a great community effort. A small group of volunteers undertook monthly events. Our congregation donated significantly, as did the local community. We were successful in our Grant bids from the community lottery fund and our local community infrastructure levy, receiving £20,000 from each of them. We are able to claim back VAT from the listed buildings grant which was still available in 2025.

The new chairs and audio/visual equipment arrived by Easter and have transformed the way the Church can be used, for services and also events. The electrics were upgraded early in 2025.

We are now waiting for the lighting to be improved with the replacement of bulbs to all LED, which has been partly paid for by an environmental grant.

The hall

The hall continues to be well used by many community groups, including Scouts, Guides Groups, dance and exercise classes , Weekly Children’s playgroup, Table tennis and monthly Lunch club. These all bring much needed income.

The outside play area has been upgraded with new astro and children's equipment. We are hopeful for some funding to upgrade the Kitchen floor in 2026.

The Remembrance Garden

We were lucky to receive a further grant from the Council’s Eco Fund to continue improvements & planting & are grateful to a small group of volunteers for their regular work in its upkeep.

Buildings report

Major building works have occurred during the past year, including painting All Saints church, installing a new Audio-Visual system and display, replacing the pews with comfortable chairs and cleaning the bell tower and fixing netting to deter pigeons.

In addition, all but one Priority 1 Quinquennial Report items have been completed (the Fire Risk Assessment outstanding as of 15 February 2026), and many Priority 2 Quinquennial Report items have also been successfully addressed (e.g. electrical tests, church and hall boiler services, lightning conductor check, portable appliance testing, Gas Safety Certificate, fire extinguisher annual checking, Church and hall fire alarm checks and more.

We are working on the remaining items, for example clearing the church drains, in order of priority

Safeguarding

The PCC of All Saints Weston (ASW) has adopted Promoting a Safer Church, the Church of England’s Safeguarding Policy for children, young people, and adults as the basis of its safeguarding practices and agreed to report all safeguarding concerns to the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer (DSO) for further action. The Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO) is responsible to the PCC and Vicar for ensuring this is implemented using the Diocese of Guildford Safeguarding Dashboard and reports on progress bimonthly. The Parish remains on Level 3 of the dashboard (the highest), and we continue to progress and monitor standards closely. The church has not had to report any safeguarding incidents to the DSO in the past 12 months. ASW supports Safeguarding Sunday which it ran on 1 December 2025, and will run again in 2026.

Financial Report

Financial Review of the year

In 2025 net income for the year on all funds was £6,841 – compared to the previous year’s net income of £111,779. 2025 was again an unusual year due to the receipt of legacies and donations to the ‘Paint All Saints’ fund. We also spent a lot on painting the church.

There was net income on the General Fund of £17,247 (before Investment gains and transfers), net income on Designated Funds of £180 and net expenditure on Restricted Funds of £10,586.

Year on year total income increased from £233,333 to £328,691 in 2025 and total expenditure increased from £121,554 to 321,850. These figures are distorted by the legacy and raising and spending money to paint the church

General Fund

Planned giving (including gift aid) in 2025 increased to £84,931 from £77,046 in 2024. We are very grateful to all who give regularly in this way and so generously. Unfortunately, this still doesn’t cover our Parish share which will be £92,528 in 2026.

There were three legacies in 2025 totalling £46,423 (£20,000 in 2024).

Activities for generating funds include the letting of the hall and music room.

6

During 2025 All Saints continued to make charitable donations out of church funds in response to the appeal by the East Elmbridge Foodbank to its sponsoring churches. We make a monthly contribution to support their activities.

Designated Funds – we have four funds – the Memorial Gift Fund, the Fabric Maintenance Fund, the General Reserve Fund and the Lunch Club Fund.

Restricted Funds - these funds accumulate monies which have been given to the church for identified purposes and cannot be used for any other purposes.

Endowment Funds – This year the endowment funds made a decrease of £7,904. (2024 – increase - £4,424)

Balance Sheet - Our aggregate funds are now £457,548 (2024 £458,610). Of the funds shown on our Balance Sheet, 42% (2024 – 43%) of this is in the form of the Endowment Funds. This leaves the parish with sufficient working capital to enable to church to fund projects to grow the church.

Current Financial Position

Our current financial position is more positive than in previous years. The project to Paint All Saints’ was very successful to the extent that the whole project was fully funded by our fundraising efforts without the need to use parish funds. However, we need to try to increase our planned giving even more so that we are not reliant on unexpected windfalls and legacies.

Reserves Policy

The general policy of the PCC is to hold sufficient reserves in unrestricted and designated funds to ensure that the activities of the church can be funded on an on-going basis. The PCC believes that uncommitted funds equivalent to six month’s expenditure should be held.

7

At the end of 2025, due to the grants, legacies and increased planned giving, the General and Designated Funds balances (excluding fixed assets) stood at £204,740. Based on 2025 expenditure, this would be sufficient to maintain the policy.

Notes to the Financial Statements

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 Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations “true and fair view” provisions. They have been prepared under FRS 102 (2016) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2016 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and reporting by Charities (SORP(FRS102)).

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value as at 31[st] December. The accounts 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

Endowment funds 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 on the purpose for which the endowment was established.

Restricted funds 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 purpose 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. The PCC does not invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis.

Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted.

Income and Endowments

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognized when received. Tax recoveries are recognized 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 and interest are accounted for when receivable. All other income is recognized when it is receivable. All income is accounted for gross.

Expenditure

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognized when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.

Fixed assets

Consecrated and benefice property

Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with Section 10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011.

Moveable church furnishings

These are capitalised at cost and depreciated over their useful economic life other than where insufficient cost information is available. In this case the item is not capitalised, but all items are included in the Church’s inventory in any case.

10

Tangible fixed assets for use by charity

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £1,000. They are valued at cost or else, for gifts- in-kind, at a reasonable estimate of their open market value on receipt. Depreciation is calculated to write off the capitalised cost of fixed assets on a straight line basis less residual fair value over their estimated useful lives as follows:

No depreciation is provided on buildings as the currently estimated residual value of the properties is not less than their carrying value and the remaining useful life of these assets currently exceeds 50 years, so that any depreciation charges would be immaterial.

Investment Policy

Monies held by the PCC are placed in current accounts at National Westminster Bank PLC, CAF Bank Ltd and in a deposit account at the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund run by CCLA Investment Management Limited. The endowment funds, the income of which is paid to the PCC, are held in the CBF Church of England Investment Fund, a mixed investment fund.

This is in accordance with the investment policy agreed by the PCC.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees, Parochial Church Council of All Saints Weston

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Parochial Church Council for the year ended 31st December 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any materiel respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
