## **Parish** 

## **TEAM RECTOR | Chris Ferris** 

There is much to think about, 2022 has been a year of consolidation after ‘lockdown’ and a time when I have sought to listen to the story of the parish, as told by you, the parishioners. This report represents my own thoughts as I have experienced the parish as a whole. 

The beginning of 2022 began with a rise in COVID-19 infections; despite this, the Christmas of 2021 had shown good numbers in church attendance, although down in comparison with previous years. 

The words ‘Covid’ and ‘Pandemic’ are very much part of our language, many people still wear masks; and these events continue to influence what the church looks like now, and in the years to come, shaping how we respond to a changing world. 

Sunday attendance across the three churches fluctuates enormously week by week. This is a product of ‘lockdown’ and the reality of changing demographics in Langley, and the wider community of Slough, where Christians are increasingly a small, but faithful remnant. How we evangelise in a post-Christian/pre-Christian, multifaith community is a challenge, and we have serious questions to ask about what mission and ministry will look like, as we move beyond the first quarter of the 21st century. 

A number of themes have emerged over the past 12 months which will be reflected in the whole Annual Report, they include: administration, finances, communication, volunteers, succession planning, future proofing, identity, purpose, viability, and most of all opportunity. 

In January, the PCC appointed a sub-committee to oversee the role of the parish office and parish administrator. In September 2022, Dalletta Reed stepped back as Parish Administrator after 11 years and I am grateful for her time and commitment to the role. Dalletta remains a much-loved member of the congregation. 

In the middle of September, Angus Mackenzie became interim Administrator to assist in filling the gap, as well as helping to inform the review process. This has been a challenge for everyone, as it revealed an essential uncertainty in the identity of the parish, and the purpose of the office as it responds to the changing needs of the parish as a whole. It is difficult to consider these needs both now, as well as looking at 5-10 years’ time. Succession planning plays a crucial part in the decisions to be made, and this will remain an ongoing process in the future. 

It was a real delight that on Easter Day 2022, children and adults who are not Confirmed, were able to receive Communion in our churches for the first time. This was after a period of prayer and reflection by the PCC. It marks a significant moment in the life of the church, which takes seriously the theological nature of Holy Baptism and the important role of discipling children as followers of Jesus Christ, and recognising that children have much to teach us, as we journey together in faith. The Eucharist is bread for the hungry, the food of God’s Kingdom and the young and old, sharing it together is a huge joy.

St Mary’s has started to explore ‘intergenerational worship’ where children remain in the whole service, young and old worshipping together, encountering Jesus in word and in sacrament. The Sunday Club continues to be a place where our youngsters are nurtured as they learn and grow together, and I am grateful to the leaders who give so much of their time to this valuable ministry. 

In June, St Francis held an ‘open air’ Eucharist in the grounds of the church with the Bishop of Oxford preaching and presiding. This was a reminder of the strategic purpose of building St Francis of Assisi (and indeed, Christ the Worker) as the population grew in the 1950’s. In addition to this ‘Refresh’ and ‘Coffee and Carols’ have enabled us to redevelop links with the Haven Nursing Home which has been a delight to see. 

In September 2022 (when I had been in Langley a year) I called the parish to a year of prayer which has been called ‘Seeking God in Langley.’ This is a gentle prayer initiative for the parish to reflect and pray together, as we discern God’s loving purposes for the parish, over the next 12 months, as we look beyond the mundane and familiar, seeking the presence of God. The PCC now begins with Dwelling in the Word when we focus on Luke 10 and an Away Day was planned for February 2023. 

Change management in churches presents us with both challenges and opportunities to grow, and how we present the unchanging message of the gospel of Jesus Christ, to a world which sees immense change all the time. Future proofing,succession planning, putting into place procedures and routines are life-giving and empowering to the Body of Christ and facilitate mission and ministry. 

In the latter part of 2022, a number of people became unwell, and it became clear that across the parish our volunteer base is fragile, and we rely on a huge amount of goodwill. 

The numbers at the Christmas services were encouraging and present a real opportunity to reach out at this festive time of year. The Occasional Offices (baptism, marriage and funerals) again present opportunities to touch people’s lives at moments of celebration and grief. 

2022 was a year which revealed a parish in a state of flux, but also 2022 revealed a parish with many gifted and talented people, children and adults, who are the future of the parish. Releasing gifts, building up confidence and leadership need to be priorities in 2023, and beyond, as well as discerning God’s presence in Langley. 

In addition to my work as Rector, in 2022, I was appointed Associate Area Dean, and I sit on Diocesan Synod. I continue to work as a Spiritual Director and Confessor to other clergy, as well as developing networks for clergy wellbeing. I am a Community Governor at Ryver’s School and am developing links with other schools in the area which have been lost since the interregnum and ‘lockdown.’ 

As always, there are too many people to thank! I do want to thank Parish and District Wardens for their hard work, the Treasurer for his commitment to what is an all-consuming and difficult job, and to Parochial and District Church Councillors for their commitment to their churches, and the parish as a whole. 

4 



My thanks also Dalletta Reed and Angus MacKenzie for their work in the Parish Office - administration is a powerful charism of the Holy Spirit, and I am grateful for their commitment and diligence. 

I am also grateful to Shola Aoko and Bill Birmingham, as my ministerial colleagues who are wise and godly companions. 

I need to thank my family: Hannah, Samuel and Sophie for their patience with me, and the way in which they are a constant reminder of my humanity under God; without them I would be a pale shadow of the person I am today. 

As a ‘cross-shaped’ community, rooted in the life of Jesus, filled with his Spirit, fed with the Eucharist, and nourished by Scripture, we all have a role to play in building the church in Langley. We must learn to laugh, pray, cry and work together; and I am grateful to each of you for your prayers and commitment to the church community. 

## **TEAM VICAR | Shola Aoko** 

## **Christ the Worker Team Vicar’s Annual Report 2021/2022 for ADCM/ APCM** 

On Sunday 3rd January 2021, public worship in our three churches – St. Mary’s. St. Francis and Christ the Worker was again suspended for a while, even when the National lockdown was lifted on Monday 8th March 2021. This was as a result of the increased number of Covid19 cases locally and nationally. During this time, we continue as a Team to keep our Sunday Zoom service going which people appreciated especially families and children with more lay and children involvement. 

Through Zoom service every Sunday, we were able to worship together with children participation. The Zoom service is greatly appreciated by families, children and adults. We were able to stay connected and gave pastoral support to one another through phone calls, News sheets, ‘Around Langley’ Magazine and the occasional arranged social distance visits. 

We entered into interregnum at the beginning of February 2021 as Revd Robin retired at the end of January, 2021. Laity, Parochial Churchwardens and ministers within the team worked well together, supporting and encouraging one another. Some members of Christ the Worker and children were involved in readings and doing prayers on Zoom on Sundays. 

Pastoral Care Team at Christ the Worker continues to be in contact by phone with members to chat and see that they are doing okay. Members do appreciate the communication and the prayers a lot. This we shall continue. 

On 1st September, we welcomed the New Team Rector – The Rev’d Chris Ferris into the parish. He has taken services in the three churches and is getting to know the parishioners. We have a service rota in place at Christ the Worker with lay leaders taking turns to lead the Sunday service with myself, Bill or Rev’d Chris. 1st and 3rd Sunday – Service of the Word; 2nd and 4th Sunday – Holy Communion. We look forward to seeing our three churches continue to work together serving God and our community here in Langley.

## **PCC SECRETARY | Diana Iller** 

As PCC Secretary, I have supported the PCC Chair in the preparation and organization of meetings. There are 20 PCC members (11 St Mary’s, 5 Christ the Worker and 4 St Francis). Six meetings were held in 2022. As the key link between the Diocese and the Parish for correspondence and sharing of information, I have received regular emails and followed up after the 2022 APCM with the necessary reporting. The PCC Secretary may be tasked with office co-ordination, scheduling meetings, preparing and maintaining office records, reports, and correspondence pertaining to the professional’s and/or management staff’s area of responsibility, but I have not yet undertaken anything outside recording the PCC and APCM minutes. 

The Annual Report for 2021 was kindly assembled by Anna Thomas-Betts. 

## **PARISH ADMINISTRATOR | Angus MacKenzie** 

In September 2022, the Parish Administrator of over 11 years dedicated and loyal service resigned after her successful appointment to an external role. 

The PCC agreed the creation of a small working group to review the requirements and function of the role and approved the appointment of Angus MacKenzie to act as Interim Parish Administrator during the period of review. 

The working group review is expected to conclude its recommendations in 2023 and continues to advise the PCC of progress and actions. 

The initial key summary of recommendations and actions included: 

## **New Office Equipment** 

With the approval of the PCC, the working group recommended the purchase and upgrade of IT equipment including a new PC with dual monitors, up-to-date software and a new broadband supplier with faster and improved WiFi. The donation of a new telephone and answerphone has also been a welcome addition to facilities available. 

## **Other Processes** 

The working group will create an up-to-date set of policy and procedures including a contract for any new appointee to be approved by the PCC. Exploration of whether any other existing processes and/or efficiencies can be made will be explored in 2023. Work on record keeping, filing protocols are expected to evolve once an appointment has been approved and made. 

## **Thank you’s** 

Grateful thanks from the parish for Dalletta Reed’s for her tenure in the role support, and handover notes. In addition, grateful thanks for the all technical advice, support and settingup of equipment from Anthony Moorthoti, Arun Nadar and Moses Hooper. 

6 



The Interim Parish Administrator would like the opportunity to thank Dalletta Reed, the clergy, lay reader, the working group, the “technical team”, external partners and parishioners for they continued encouragement and support. 

## **STEWARDSHIP | Anthony Moorthoti** 

The Stewardship Committee consists of representatives of all three districts and is charged by the PCC with promoting the principle of Christian Stewardship within the Parish. It encourages the support of the work of the Parish through pledged giving of time and money, including Gift Aid Declaration, where appropriate. 

In 2022, it was again decided not to run a Stewardship Campaign in view of the many uncertainties people faced. The Stewardship income has stood up quite well during the year. The number of people who had joined the Parish Giving Scheme considerably eased the operation of Stewardship giving. Instead of a Campaign, this year, we simply wrote to everyone on the list to thank them for their faithfulness and generosity during the year, while also encouraging them, if they can, to continue to give generously to the finances of the Parish. 

## **SAFEGUARDING | Clare Clark** 

## **REPORT: OCTOBER 2021 - JANUARY 2023** 

## **Safeguarding committee** 

We have had three meetings this year. Clare continues as the Parish Safeguarding representative, Chris as our recruiter, Liz as the verifier for DBS checks, Christine as representative for St Mary’s, Joy for St Francis and Theresa for Christ the Worker. 

Shola continues to support the committee. 

We have fed relevant information back to the PCC throughout the year. 

## **Recruitment** 

We have not recruited anyone since our last report. 

## **DBS Checks** 

Liz has completed ten DBS check this year. 

## **Training** 

Clare continues to oversee training which to date remains on-line with a few face to face courses available. Six people have completed courses this year. A First Aid course was run in February 2022 which was attended by seven people. St Mary’s Sunday School leaders / helpers (5) and Little Flowers toddler group leaders. 

7 



There is a new Safer Recruitment and People Management course . Clare has contacted the people require to complete this training. Bell ringers and Choir members are now required to complete the Basic Awareness online course. They have been sent both the link and registration details. We hope to offer a face-to-face course in May 2023. 

## **Promoting a Safer Church Action Plan** 

The following points from my previous report were: - 

· Clare to order another “Promoting a safer church“ poster for Christ the Worker – actioned. 

· Prepare and adopt “Recruitment of ex-offenders” policy - The Diocese safeguarding team have referred us to the policy on the gov.uk website and will assist us in drawing up an individual policy should the need arise. 

We reviewed the plan again at our January 2023 meeting. The following points are to be actioned. 

· Ex-offenders’ policy to now be prepared. 

· Safeguarding arrangements to be clearly visible on the front of the parish website. 

## **Parish Safeguarding Dashboard** 

This is a system where all our safeguarding information can be entered online. The Diocese can see our progress as a parish, therefore cutting down the amount of information requested from them and making safeguarding administration simpler. We can also download any new guidance or documents we need. 

The dashboard provides the following key features: - 

· A home page that shows the status of safeguarding at a glance. 

· Action pages that explain what needs to be done in plain English. 

· Info pages that ask simple questions and also provide links to relevant information and resources. 

· Green lights that bring reassurance that all is well. 

· Amber lights that highlight actions that need to be completed. 

· Red lights that help to prioritise the most urgent actions. 

Clare has started to input the information into our Parish Dashboard. This will be one of her top 2023 priorities! Chris, Shola, Joy and Anna will also have access to the dashboard.

## **Safeguarding Concerns** 

To my knowledge, there have not been any safeguarding concerns raised this year. 

## **Thank You’s** 

As always, I would like to thank the committee for all their hard work and commitment throughout the year. My thanks also go to the Oxford Dioceses Safeguarding team for their continued support. 

## **Parish Safeguarding Policy** 

Our policy was read out at the November 2022 PCC meeting accepted and signed. Copies of the policy are now on display in all our churches and church halls. A copy has been sent to the Dioceses Safeguarding team. 

## **PRAYER FOR HEALING AND WHOLENESS GROUP | Jeanne Roddick** 

Prayer for Healing and Wholeness is a group of six of us from all three churches who meet to pray for those that are ill or who have asked for our prayers. We have quite a long list so we tend to keep in touch with a small group each. We exchange news of them every first Tuesday of every month, except January, and pray together for them or for any of their families who have been bereaved. It is, 

information that is sensitive and therefore not discussed outside the group, without permission. 

We are always ready to add anyone to our list and like to have news of their recovery or difficulties, so please give one of us a ring if you would like us to pray for them. Jeanne Roddick, Liz Jones, Joyce Moss, Elisabeth Howell, Pauline Underdown, Diana Iller 

## **St Mary the Virgin, Langley Marish** 

## **CHURCH FABRIC REPORT | Sheila Schmidt** 

1. Quinquennial inspection was completed December 2022. There are various items that have to be addressed once the weather improves, including roof valley clearance. 

2. Electrical inspection was completed in August 2022. 

3. Gas boiler for the central heating was serviced in December 2022 and is serviced annually. We are looking into a new more efficient heating system. 

4. There was work done to the North Porch window after squirrel damage. Also some repair work was carried out on the pews. Completed November 2022. 

5. Lightning conductor check was completed 2022. 

9 



6. We are currently changing the bulbs in the church lighting to LED. This should reduce costs. 

7. Health and Safety Policy is being reviewed and updated. 

8. Work is going to be carried out on one of the steps leading up to the sanctuary. 

9. Fire extinguishers are serviced yearly. 

10. There is an adequate disabled entrance into church, via the North Porch. 

## **CHURCHYARD REPORT | Josephine Hanney Churchyard Volunteer** 

As a result of Slough Borough Council’s parlous financial state, the churchyard grass is only being cut 4 times a year. This is not often enough to allow the memorials, especially the flat plagues, to remain visible. This is causing distress to some relatives visiting the churchyard. There is no council tree officer, so obtaining advice on whether any of the trees required remedial work is difficult. 

Due to the age and the fewer number of volunteers, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the churchyard as we would wish and the public expect. 

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission have fixed a plaque by the front gate to notify visitors of the presence of 22 graves in our churchyard. 

Josie White, a Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme candidate, and member of our church family has produced an illustrated booklet of the most interesting specimen trees in the churchyard. It is hoped to make this available later this year. 

The quinquennial inspection has identified several memorials that require attention to make them safe and some that require repair. These will be followed up this year. 

Later this year we hope to plant a suitable shrub or small tree to commemorate the life of the late Queen Elizabeth II. 

## **CHURCH CLEANING | Josephine Hanney** 

St Mary’s is cleaned each week, on a Wednesday morning, but the volunteers go above and beyond, as they also identify and rectify various items of repair, but more people are needed to help. 

## **ST MARY’S CHURCH CENTRE | Liz Jones** 

After Graham died in September 2020, I decided to continue looking after the day-to day management of the Centre, Simona Di Gregorio having very kindly offered to look after the hirings, during that summer. 

It took a while to negotiate changing the bank details, but eventually it went through. 

10 



During the Covid epidemic the Hall was closed, but gradually re-opened after the summer and it is now very busy. 

## **Facilities;** 

1. The hall was re-decorated over 2 weeks in October 2020. 

2. The Cleaner, Pasqulae Cuconato, was seen during the summer of 2021 and encouraged to do a bit more. He leaves a receipt for the materials he has bought to use, and I pay that to him. He was allowed to bring his own vacuum cleaner as he thought ours didn’t work. 

3. The fire extinguishers are checked annually. Usually in March 

4. The gas system is checked annually, usually in October/ November. Shortly after last year’s inspection there was a leak from the boiler and as it’s source could not be identified and water had got into the electrical parts, so it was thought wisest to have a new one fitted. 

5. The Plumber obtained and fitted a new boiler in the week after Christmas. Nobody was using the Hall that week. 

6. It has been pointed out that our 8 strip lights in the main Hall are not up to current standards. 

7. The Fire alarm is checked annually. 

8. The grounds are kept tidy by Linda Buggey 

9. Toilet rolls and paper towels are ordered from Viking Office supplies. 

10. Michael Day performs janitorial duties, checking stocks in toilets etc, for a small monthly payment 

11. Other repairs, changing light bulbs, locks etc done by me. 

The Management committee, Father Chris, Myself, Josephine Hanney and Simona were able to meet during summer 2022.

Mrs Alpana Parker holds a dance class on Saturday afternoons for over 3 hours 

Simona holds Psychology/ counselling sessions in the Hurst Room, for much of the school days and on Saturdays. 

## **ST MARY’S CHOIRS | Roger Witney** 

The adult choir regularly sings at services, leading the congregation in the hymns and service setting, as well as providing appropriate anthems during Communion. On special occasions and festivals, such as Christmas and Easter, their contribution increases significantly. Currently there are seven sopranos, two altos, two tenors and two basses on the register, but they can be joined by guest choir singers, when required. We hope to increase our involvement with other church choirs in the future. 

The Juniors meet for specific concentrated periods during the year, working towards the special occasions where they can take the lead, such as Mothering Sunday and the Christingle and Crib services. Currently there are seven children on the register. 

Both choirs would welcome new members. Anyone interested is welcome to attend ‘taster’ sessions to decide if they like it! The adult choir meets in church at 8pm on Fridays. They are preceded (when applicable) by the Juniors at 7pm. 

## **FLOWER ARRANGERS | Pat Gravette** 

There are always flowers behind the altar on Sundays, except in Lent and Advent. These are done by members of the Flower Arranging group in a rota. We would so 

12 



welcome some new members to join us. You don’t have to be an expert, just willing to help. 

For special occasions, such as Easter and Christmas, there are many flower arrangements done. 

These are then done by all the members of the small flower team. Flowers and greenery can come from your garden, or else bought. 

## **SUNDAY SCHOOL | Carol Palmer** 

## **St Mary's Children’s Activities in 2022/23** 

St Mary: Sunday Club (4 years-old upwards): The number of children on the register has stayed roughly the same as previous years with 28 on the register, although only 16 children attend on a fairly regular basis. The weekly attendance can be anything from 2 to 12 with quite a wide age range. Leaders/helpers should be on duty 1 out of every 4 weeks although most regularly cover additional weeks due to a shortage of volunteers. 

Crèche attendance is very low with only child regularly attending crèche. Crèche is only available once a month again due to lack of available volunteers. 

Junior Choir continues, led by Roger, with 8 choristers. The choir has been involved in several services this year, both with the adult choir and on their own. 

Altar servers - 14 children/young adults also contribute to church life as Altar servers. 

Many of the children have been involved in special church services which Chris Ferris has planned for them for example; Mothering Sunday, Easter, Patronal, Harvest, Christingle and Crib services, or the monthly intergenerational service. Children not involved with the choir have taken part in readings or intercessions, rung hand bells or had an activity/worksheet, produced by Angus, linked to these services. Additional activities involving the children include: building the Easter Garden, Vicarage BBQ and helping to run stalls at the Christmas fayre. 

## **KEDERMISTER LIBRARY | Chris Ferris** 

The Kedermister Library is a jewel in the heart of the village of Langley. 

The Trustees of which the Rector is an ex-officio member, meets 2-3 times a year to discuss the upkeep and publicity of the library. When the previous Librarian moved away, we were approached by Jane Sculpher who was appointed in November 2022. 

The Trustees began discussion on opening the crypt beneath the pew and library to examine the structure and there are plans for this to happen in 2023. 

The Pew and Library were open to the public on the first Sunday of the month from March to October and I am grateful to the volunteers who have helped during these open afternoons.

## **SOCIAL ACTIVITIES | Christine Beynon** 

Our social events continue to thrive despite there being only four members on the Committee: Sam MacKenzie, Joan Bastick, Sheila Schmidt and Christine Beynon. Some events have proved more popular than others so attendance has varied. Bad weather prevented the annual Beating the Bounds but the Patronal Festival followed by the BBQ at the Rectory continue to be very popular. The Christmas Fayre, organized mainly by Sam MacKenzie, and held in November, was also very successful. 

The Committee should be congratulated, but it is clear that more general help is needed, if we are to continue to run a successful programme of events in the coming years. 

## **MOTHERS’ UNION | Christine Beynon** 

Presently, the Mothers’ Union has four paid up members, having lost Kay Hooker who died this year. As a result, we have only had one in-house meeting, together with the traditional Christmas lunch, which was shared with Church members at The Red Lion Public House. Deanery and Diocesan events have been attended, however, such as the Ladyday Service, (relayed from Whitby), the annual Spring meeting from St Andrew’s Church Hall, Stoke Poges, led by Rev. Janet Binns, (who also organized our Advent Carol Service at Datchet), and the Diocesan annual general meeting in Benson. We also supported Sir William Herschel and his sister, Caroline’s bi-centenary events at St Lawrence’s Church. 

We continue to supply the Slough Women’s Refuge and Gentlemen’s Refuge with toilet bags, on a quarterly basis, send useful gifts to the John Ratcliffe Hospital, 

Oxford, supply Mother’s Day and Christmas cards to inmates of Bullingdon Prison and support Baby Basics and Children Seen and Heard. 

## **ST FRANCIS** 

## **FABRIC | David Raynor** 

In 2022 at St Francis, we installed a new notice board under the porch. Had the boiler repaired and installed an internet-enabled thermostat for the heating. Toilet taps were replaced with sensor taps following floods. The parquet floor was refurbished, thankfully “after” the flood! The gas meter was moved outside after it was found to be hanging off the wall unsecured inside. The cross in the garden fell down. IT has been re-erected by members of the Saturday afternoon congregation. 

## **HALL LETTINGS | Joy Raynor** 

The lettings at St Francis have returned to approximately the same level as before the pandemic bringing in an income of over £15,000 into the Parish. Groups using the building regularly include three other churches, two ballet schools, The Alzheimer Society, Rise and Shine (a group for older Asian ladies), a self-defence group, a singing group, the local Councillors, in addition to the toddler group and a group for older adults run by the congregation. There have been very few parties, but the local NHS Diabetes education group 

14 



use the space for training at the beginning of the school year, and St Francis is used as a Polling station. 

There are still a few gaps and we are always happy to have new groups. Fees and the terms and conditions of use are updated yearly. 

## **LITTLE FLOWERS | Bill and Barbara Birmingham, Joyce Moss** 

“Little Flowers”, previously called “Mums and Tots”, is the renamed toddler group which meets at St Francis every Friday morning during school term-time from 9.45 to 11.15. The name was changed to take account of several of the adults who brought children being, for instance, grandparents, fathers or child minders. Each session starts with the opportunity for the children to use equipment, such as tricycles. a slide or a toy kitchen, or use jigsaws, play dough or easy books. Each week there is a craft activity, e.g. hand painting or a mobile. The session ends with a simple Bible story and short prayer followed by a Christian chorus and some nursery rhymes. 

Each week there are, on average, 14 adults bringing 16 children but if everyone on the register attends there can be up to 20, Each adult is charged £1 irrespective of the number of children they bring. Due to limited space, there is a restriction on those able to attend and a waiting list of about 16. There have been special requests for provision for children who during the lock down had no, or limited, contact with their peers. The Little Flowers leadership tries to build relationships with the adults who themselves discuss their concerns with each other. Tea and coffee is provided for the adults. Roughly half of those attending are of ethnic minority or of another faith. They do not attend church worship services. 

The leadership consists of 3 church members in their upper 70s but with the support of the Team Vicar, when available. There is a need for other church members to join the team in preparation for taking over responsibility in the future. 

## **HOLIDAY AT HOME | Bill and Barbara Birmingham** 

Holiday at Home was established 10 years ago to provide a short 3-day break at St Francis for the over-60s who might otherwise be unable to go away on a summer holiday. After a reduced programme during lockdown, the 2022 Holiday at Home reverted to its previous 3-day arrangement. However, due to limited space and inadequate kitchen facilities at St Francis, it was decided that the 2022 Holiday at Home should instead be held at the better facilitated Langley Free Church. Each day’s session lasted from 10.00 to 3.30 and those attending were charged £5 per day to meet the costs of lunch, etc. Each day started with a prologue and ended with an epilogue. 

Lunch was provided consisting of one hot meal and a cold dessert on the first day; a cold salad and hot dessert on the second and fish and chips and ice cream on the third. During the day those attending could take part in craft activities, eg greetings card and jewelry making, drawing and painting, embroidery, flower arranging and quizzes. There were also different forms of entertainment, eg singing together, a country and western singer, a ukulele band and some recitations and “Magic” and conjuring. 

15 



About 30 people attended on at least one of the days of Holiday at Home. Volunteers from within the Parish and from Langley Free Church and other local churches worked hard to ensure the success of the activity. 

## **‘NOT HOME ALONE’ LUNCH | (Elisabeth Howell) Bill and Barbara Birmingham, Joyce Moss** 

The group continued to meet at the home of Elisabeth Howell and was greatly appreciated. Members taking turns to provide the main course and pudding. The number catered for is restricted to 8 or 9. We are always sad when we loose someone. After the meal we sit and share things happening and include a short time of meditation and prayer. The date of the next lunch is decided each time depending on when Elisabeth and other members are free. We are pleased the Chris has occasionally been able to join us. For Christmas we book to go to the Toby restaurant with a few extra friends joining us. 

## **REFRESH | (Elisabeth Howell) Bill and Barbara Birmingham, Joyce Moss** 

Refresh meets on the third Thursday of each month, from 1.30 to 3.00pm, at St Francis church. Although it is primarily for the 60+ age group, we do have younger people from time to time. 

Prior to Covid, a group from the Haven care home regularly attended, but this arrangement has only just restarted in January 2023. 

At most meetings we have a speaker or an activity, or we may just have a happy time chatting, whilst having our tea and cake. There is also a short Bible link and a prayer and an opportunity for people to write down their own prayer requests. These are collectively lifted to the Lord at the meeting and also included during the intercessions at our morning service the following Sunday. 

Not all those who attend are church goers and people of all faiths and none are welcome to join us. 

Some of the activities and topics covered in 2022 included a talk on canals, making Easter hats, seated exercises, origami, dancing display and, of course, our Christmas party in December. 

Attendance fluctuates between 20 and 30 each month. 

## **CHRIST THE WORKER** 

## **ADCM Finance Report for Christ the Worker – 2021/2022** 

The following are the accounts under the control of the DCC: 

· As at 13th March, 2022, £950 was transferred to PCC’s Account on 15th Feb 2021 before the closure of the Seekers Youth Club Account No. 1465/704 205 325 in Feb 2021. This was money designated for Christ the Worker Children’s mission. 

16 



· Social Committee/Outreach - £1,279.52 in account (No. 1465/703 983 030) as at 13th March, 2022. This amount is made up of - £370.15 (already in account as at 21st Feb, 2019; Peace Garden - £100; General donations – 

£290; Harvest Donation - £58; Valentine evening - £65; Flowers - £29.30;. As at 6th June, 2021, there was £1210 in account. The two signatories are Marie Kouhi and Audrey Boyles (District Wardens). 

· Petty Cash – £93 as at 13th March, 2022. And as at 6th March 2021, it was £80.50. 

## **SUNDAY SCHOOL | Theresa Teo** 

No Sunday School sessions have been held since the church doors opened. Children attendance have not been consistent due to their respective Sunday activities. However, there was a good turnout during our Advent season and annual Nine Lessons & Carol in December. 

To keep the children engaged when they attend the worship services, there has been discussions to have the children read scriptures using the simplified bible versions and possible other easy areas. 

## **Safeguarding Report 2022** 

Online worship services continued during the beginning of 2021 and there was greater clarity on how to keep safe online for our families. 

After church doors were opened, individuals have been reminded to renew their DBS checks and trainings. The diocese has advised that all PCC members should be DBS checked. Online training was predominantly the mode of delivery, but face-to-face trainings will slowly resume this year. A first-aid course took place at Christ the Worker on 19th February for those who were needed to renew their training. Individuals who need up-to-date Safeguarding and Leadership have been identified and contacted. All PCC members are now required to complete the Domestic Abuse course. 

There’s an action plan to promote a Safer Church at the parish level. We have been advised by Joy Raynor to prepare our own risk assessment for our weekly meetings. 

Chris is now the Parish Recruitment Officer. Chris will also be preparing a new form that covers consent for You Tube and other required areas. 

PCC and DCC members have attended outstanding or refresher safeguarding and leadership trainings. Face to face trainings to be hopefully organised in May. A First Aid course will be arranged later this year for those who need to renew their certificates. PCC members are no longer required to complete the Domestic Abuse training. 

The updated Safeguarding policy is now posted on both notice boards at church. “Promoting a safer church” posters have been ordered and will be available.

## **HALL BOOKINGS | Simona Gregorio and Liz Jones** 

The two halls at Christ the Worker were managed by Mrs Simona Gregorio in 2022 with support from Dr Liz Jones. A big thank you to Simona and Liz for their help in managing Christ the Worker buildings in 2022. 

## **NEEDLE AND A YARN | Maureen Bush** 

£71.63 as at 13th March, 2022. As at June, 2021, it was £75.17p, but at 4th March 2022 it was £92.20, less £25 rental paid to the Treasurer. Money in and out goes into mission work, but a CD player is required. 

Despite the pandemic, we have met regularly, with most weeks 20+ attending. No new members, but that is to be expected. Sadly one lady has died. The amount of knitted items has remained high. One lady who can now knit baby jumpers, always maintained she could never learn, but with much encouragement she now can! 

The blankets made up of squares, have lately been on hold in church. Everything else is sent to Manchester, where one of our former members moved, and is given to a Nigerian lady she has met up there. Two containers are sent each year to “Seedlings of Love Foundation Orphanage”. 

At the summer fayre in St Mayry’s Church, we managed to raise just over £100. Hopefully in July 2022 at the stall in Langley Park, we will be back to normal, ready to sell more of our items. 

For me it has been 12 years of pleasure, especially when I see ladies meeting together in friendship, on a regular basis. 

We will be putting a notice in church literature to encourage ladies to join us. What a Blessing it has all been, and it was the result of a Lent course I attended.

## **FINANCIAL REPORT FOR 2022** 

The following pages contain the financial statements of Langley Parochial Church Council, and unincorporated charity for the year ending 31[st] December 2022. The Charity’s registered number and registered address cab be found on the information page. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 1997 to 2006, which assure compliance with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity Commission’s revised Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2015 FRS102).  This report is a summary of the most significant financial events in 2022. 

The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity. 

The total funds of the PCC in 2022 are £1,378,336 (2021: £1,497,755). The funds are down by £119,419. The unrealised loss on the investments were £114,458. This means that there was a deficit of £4,961 (2021: £17,540 across all other funds for the year. 

##  **UNRESTRICTED FUNDS** 

Unrestricted Funds provide most of the financial resources on which the parish relies to meet its day-to-day expenditure.  The policy of the PCC is to agree an annual budget, in which the expenditure does not exceed the incoming resources.  Financial reviews in relation to the budget are presented at each meeting of the Standing Committee and, where appropriate, the full PCC meeting. 

In 2022 unrestricted funds achieved a total deficit of £6,783 (2021: a deficit of £26,767). A claim will be made against the Seymour Bequest fund for St Mary’s running costs. The claim represents the 2022 expenditure and the total amount to be claimed is £18,443. The total claim outstanding is now £22,168 (2021: £43,725). Claims will be transferred as and when the main PCC account requires it, otherwise it is agreed to try and leave the claim to earn interest in the deposit account. 

The stewardship campaign achieved a 6.57% decrease over the 2021 campaign in terms of actual figures. In 2021 the decrease was 6.39%. This is still significantly below the intended target of 5% per annum, but this is recognised that a target of 5% is not always achievable, especially given the last year as it has still been impacted by Covid. We will have to monitor this very closely this could become a concerning trend. 

£17,549 was claimed in income tax compared to £11,988 in 2021. Last year the only income tax reclaimed in the year related to the donations given via the PGS scheme. 

At the beginning of the year the General Fund stood at (£13,877), but given the losses incurred in 2022 this is now (£20,660). The overall unrestricted reserves are still positive when the Fabric fund, ground fund and the St Mary’s Hall is included. However, excluding the hall, the total reserves are only £10,877. If losses continue our general reserve will be depleted within 18 months (based on the loss in 2022). 

19 



Regarding General Fund income, the main points in 2022 were: 

Stewardship and gift aid receipts increased in 2021 by £697 to £91,484 (2021: £90,787). However we do have to take into consideration that extra tax was claimed in 2022 compared with 2021. The budgeted figure was £96,000, so 95% of the budget was achieved compared with 93% for the previous year. Our thanks go out to all those who continue to support the parish. The budget will be reviewed throughout the year as the stewardship receipts will be a critical factor on whether the unrestricted general fund finishes with a surplus or a deficit. 

- Rental income from our buildings continues to be vital to the parish. Total rental receipts increased to £37,464 from £14.771 in 2021. We are almost back to pre-pandemic receipts or circa £39,500. The rental income is very important for the financial wellbeing of the parish, as proved with the losses we sustained when the total receipts were only £14,771, so all involved in this effort must be thanked for their hard work. 

- As part of stewardship, our resources are carefully and thoughtfully utilised to keep the expenditure within budget.  In 2022 the parish spent £158,638 (2021: £145,267) from its general fund. This figure doesn’t include the claim on the Seymour Bequest fund which would have increased the expenditure to £177,081 (2021: £155,628). Notable points regarding expenditure were: 

- Our parish share allocation for 2022 was £100,355 (2021: £94,054). 

- In 2022, giving to charities and other good causes amounted to £8,150 (2021: £5,400). Grants have been allocated and will be paid out in 2023. Future claims will be based on 5% of the previous year’s actuals for Stewardship, Gift Aid Tax Refunds and Cash Collections. 

- At year end the Fabric Fund reserves amounted to £24,517 (2021: £24,517), the General Fund amounted to (20,660) (2021: (£13,877)). 

##  **RESTRICTED FUNDS** 

The most significant points associated with the restricted funds are: 

- **The Christ the Worker Community Room & Hall :** The church hall income is now included within unrestricted funds. The fund now stands at £2,182 (2021: £2,182). 

- **St. Mary’s Church Centre :** The rental income from the Church Centre is now included within unrestricted funds. The Church Centre Trust provided £4,823 (2021: £4,899) of investment and interest income.  The Church Centre donated £Nil (2021: £Nil) to the unrestricted general fund. At year end the St. Mary’s Church Centre fund was £54,236 (2021: £49,413). 

- **The Parish Magazine Fund :** Income from the parish magazine increased in the year. Total income was £2,368 (2021: £2,031). This magazine is free and it is hoped that the cost of 

20 



production may be met from advertising and donations. The magazine account, at year end, stood at £2,165 (2021: £2,368). 

- **St. Mary’s Bequest Fund :** No bequests have been received in the year. Therefore the fund still stands at £11,291. 

##  **ENDOWMENT FUNDS AND TRUSTS** 

The parish benefits from two trusts, the Seymour Bequest Fund, held by the PCC and included in these accounts, and the St. Mary’s Education Trust, administered by the Diocese and not included here.  Without the income from these trusts the parish would be financially hard pressed. 

- **Seymour Bequest Fund :** In 2022 the items of expenditure claimed in accordance with the terms of the bequest were £ 18,443. The total amount to be claimed now stands at £22,168. 

- This sum was entirely used to defray PCC church upkeep and running expenses during the year. 

The total investment income of the fund amounted to £20,956 (2021: £19,352). During the year, the investments depreciated by £89,439 (2021: appreciated by £95,087) so that, at year end, the fund was valued at £732,457 (2021: £819,382). 

- **St. Mary’s Education Trust :** During the year the trust contributed £3,853 (2021: £1,096) toward education and children’s work within the parish, in accordance with the terms of the trust.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT: FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2022** 

## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 1997 as amended by the Church Accounting (Amendment) Regulations 2006 together with applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP 2015 (FRS 102). 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value. 

## **FUNDS** 

General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC.  Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted. 

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 or those that are informal gatherings of church members. 

## **INCOMING RESOURCES** 

## **Voluntary Income and Capital Sources** 

Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. 

Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised only when received. 

Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised. 

Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain. 

Funds raised by the fete, garden party and similar events are accounted for gross. 

Sales of books and magazines from the church bookstall are accounted for gross. 

## **Other Income** 

Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due. 

## **Income from Investments** 

Dividends are accounted for when due and payable.  Interest entitlements are accounted for as they accrue. 

## **Gains and Losses on Investments** 

Realised gains or losses are recognised when the investments are sold. 

Un-realised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at 31[st] December. 

25 



## **RESOURCES USED** 

## **Grants** 

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. 

## **Activities directly relating to the work of the Church** 

The diocesan parish share is accounted for when paid.  Any parish share unpaid on 31[st] December is provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the Balance sheet. 

## **FIXED ASSETS** 

## **Consecrated Land and Buildings and Movable Church Furnishings** 

Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the accounts by s.10 of the Charities Act 2011. 

Movable church furnishings held by the Vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted as inalienable property unless consecrated,  they are listed in the church’s Inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time).  For inalienable property acquired prior to (2000) there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the accounts.  Items acquired since 1[st] January have been capitalised and depreciated in the accounts over their currently anticipated useful economic life on a straight-line basis. 

All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings individual items under (£1,000) or on the repair of movable church furnishings acquired before 1[st] January is written off. 

## **Other Fixtures, Fittings and Office Equipment** 

Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight-line basis over 4 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired. 

## **Investments** 

Investments are valued at market value at 31[st] December. 

## **Current Assets** 

Amounts owing to the PCC at 31[st] December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts which may prove uncollectible. 

Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds or at the bank.
