The plan was to dellvery two communion servlces at each of the three churche5 each month and at least one communlon servlce somewhere In the Parish on each Sunday and key festlval days durlng the year, Where it has not been P055lble to offer a Communion setv1￿ on a Sunday, we have dellvered a SeNlce ofthe Word. The Parish has come together for a Parish wlde communion seNlce on a number of Sundays, whlch has proved a popular change and one that we plan to contlnue at a frequency of roughly once a month. This Is wldely seen as a significant achlevement, but we are optlmlstic that It cèn be continued for the ftireseeable future. To ensure that the Parlshloners are kept well informed, Informatlon about the progress of the process to recrult a new Rector has been widely dlssemlnated at servlces and In the Parlsh magazlne.

Restrlcted Funds increased by £6,462; the largest element in the Increase was due to a drlve to gather funds in order to start work on repalrlng St John's Tower In 2025, Much of the overall Increase was due to generous gifts by Indlvlduals for which we are extremely grateful Unrestrlcted Income of £146,933 was some £3,700 hlgher than In 2023. Room hlre was up by nearly £8,000, and Fundraising Actlvltie5 also increased, but Glvlng to the Unrestrlcted Funds Including gift ald was down by £3,600 and Statutory Fee5 (l.e.
