Come follow Christ in the footsteps of St Chad
The Parochial Church Council ofwombourne
Trustees. Annual Report for the year ended 31st December 2024
Charity registration numbèr (if applicable): 1128061
Objectives and Actlvlties
The trustees of the PCC are aware of th8 Charity Commission's 9uidanc8 on public benefil in
The Advancoment of Religion for the Public B8nefit and have had regard to it in their
administration of the Charity. Thè trusta8s b81ieve that, by promoling the work of th8 Church
of England in the Ecclesiastical Parish of Womboume it helps to prorrt)te the whole mission
of the Church (pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical) more èffectively, within the
Eccl8siaslical Parish, and that in doing so it provides a benefit to the public by..
Providing facilities for publlc worship. pastoral care and spiritual, moral and int811ectual
dev81opment, both for its members and for anyon8 vtho wishes to benefit from what the
Church offers., and
Promoting Christian values and service by members of thé Church in and to their
communities, to the benefit of individuals and society as a whole.
Th8 PCC Is committed to enabling as many people as possibk8 to worship at our church and
lo be¢ome part of our parish community al Womb(yJme. The PCC maintains an overview of
worship throughout the parish and makes sugg8Stions on how our services can involve the
many groups that live within our parish. Our servicas and worship put faith into practice
through prayer and scriptur8, music and sacrament.
Achievements and Performance
The PCC 1$ Committed through its Mission Statement and action planning to maintaining the
churches of St Benedict Biscop and the Venerable Bede as places fil for worship and providing
outreach to the local community. The health and future growth of the charity relies on
supportèrs and volunteers and their contribution is key to the deliverability of the charily's
obj8Ctlv8s both now and in the future.
Financial Review
The PCC agreed a budget for 2024 where unrestricted income and expendlture w8r8 broadly
in balance. 11 became apparent in early 2024 that financial pressurès impacting the budget
meant a break even was unlikely with a potential for a signtficant deficit at the year end. The
financial situation improved. however. when the Rector was appointed in an additional
capacity as Acting ArchdeacKJn for Walsall on a job share basis with the Rector for St Matthews
in Walsall. This resulted in the Diocese reducing the PCC'S Common Fund request by £11,044
for the year. Fundraising, fee in(x)me, and Bede hire income were also above exp8ctations at
the year end. At the end of 2024 actual unrestricted income was £156,220 {£153,183 in 2023)
and unrestricted expenditure £147,701 1£157.173 in 2023) leading to an incr8as8 in the level
of unrestricted resources of £8,519 comparod to the provious year. The financial wsition at
