2025 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council of St Andrew’s Church, Oxsho�

Aim and purposes

St Andrew’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also speci�ically responsible for the maintenance of St Andrew’s Church and its ancillary buildings, at Oakshade Road, Oxshott.

Objec�ves and ac�vi�es

The PCC’s primary objective is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England.

As St Andrew’s, our Purpose is to become, and to be ‘Followers of Jesus, Growing and Serving.’

At the PCC Vision Afternoon on 19 October 2025, two key Priorities were agreed:

As a church community we seek to live out our purpose and priorities with the Values of being:

  1. Loving – treating one another as God has shown us in Jesus.

  2. Joyful – having fun together, and bringing joy to the world.

  3. Generous – having open hearts and open hands.

  4. Authentic – being real, with integrity and humility.

  5. Encouraging – lifting each other up.

When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public bene�it and the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.

Our ministry has focussed on worship, prayer, mission, fellowship, discipleship and active engagement and support for the local community. To facilitate these activities, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the church and its current associated buildings; during the year, we completed the main work to refurbish our ancillary buildings, which has greatly enhanced our ability to serve.

Since May 2022 we have held only a single main service on Sundays, known as ‘St Andrew’s at 10’. This was instituted as we recovered from the disruptions of the Covid pandemic, but the lack of ordained resources has meant we have retained this single service for longer than anticipated.

This single service always includes Holy Communion. Since the completion of the building project, we have live streamed as many of the services as possible, much appreciated by Esher Manor care home residents and those who could not attend church in person. Children joined the �irst minutes of each service before going to their own activities, except on the �irst Sunday in each month, when they remained with the main congregation for an all-age service.

Our mid-week traditional said service of Holy Communion is valued by a small but signi�icant number. Baptisms were usually held in a separate 3pm service on a Sunday.

St Andrew’s @4 continues as a signi�icant monthly offering within our services (see ‘Families, children and young people’ below), as does St Andrew’s @7, an informal, monthly evening contemporary service.

The annual Memorial Service and the Remembrance Service were held in November, with good attendances at both. At Christmas, our festival services were well attended by a signi�icant number of visitors.

Life Groups

Our Life Groups continue to be an important part of St Andrew’s, with eight groups meeting weekly or fortnightly in people’s homes around the parish. Total numbers are about the same as last year.

Once again, studies were a mix of books of the Bible and speci�ic themes, aligned with the sermon series on Sundays, which provided the opportunity for members to delve more deeply into the topics. This led to vibrant discussions which have helped people learn more about the Bible and grow in their faith. Groups also organised social events during the year, and a number of groups participated in the Christian Aid Quiz. Our Life Groups provide not only a learning opportunity, but also supportive fellowship and prayer for all the members.

Links between the Life Groups and our Mission Partners (see below) remain strong. Most groups could communicate directly with their Partners, and for those based in the UK, namely A Rocha, B@titude and the Cobham Area Foodbank, they were able to help directly. It was very encouraging to see the relationships develop and to hear �irst-hand the amazing work that our Partners continue to do, often in very challenging circumstances. There have been some changes to the Church Mission Partners and hence some changes and realignments with Life Groups; these all happened very seamlessly.

Families, children and young people

We are pleased to have continued to see growth in faith and number with families, children and young people at St Andrew’s during 2025.

On Sunday mornings, our consistent provision of a children’s group has allowed families to �ind a home at the 10am service – and we now welcome around 12-18 children on an average Sunday. Our monthly ‘All Age’ service has become a regular and widely appreciated offer, and has boosted family attendance and involvement on all Sunday mornings.

‘ABC’ (Adults, Babies and young Children) continued to grow, meeting each Monday morning during term time, with space for approximately 20 families each week. During the building work, we used the Oxshott Community Hub.

‘St Andrew’s @4’ has become an established and valued monthly service, designed to be accessible and enjoyable for everyone, but especially those with children of primary-school age and younger. Attendance is usually between 45 and 75, with approximately equal numbers of adults and children.

‘Soul Space’, a group for mums with young children journeying in life and Christian faith together, continued to �lourish, meeting each Friday morning, with a supervised crèche area overseen by experienced DBS-checked volunteers.

At Christmas, our Family Carol Service included contributions from many families and children from our church and wider community and was much valued, and our ever-popular Crib Service was attended by around 340 people on Christmas Eve, gathering to sing and celebrate, as we retold the story of Jesus’ birth, with stories and carols.

For schools, ‘Open the Book’ has continued at The Royal Kent School (RKS), with a team joining children each Thursday morning for a Bible story assembly. These assemblies continue to be hugely valued by the staff and children alike. We have also led other worship assemblies at RKS, Danes Hill and Bevendean Schools, including Welcome and Leavers’ Services, and seasonal services at Easter, Remembrance, Harvest and Christmas

We continue to highly prioritise ministry amongst Families, Children and Young People, and look forward with anticipation to God’s leading in this through 2026. We continue to seek to appoint a Youth and Children’s Minister.

Ongoing ministries and fellowship

During 2025, despite the constraints, long-standing ministries continued to have a signi�icant positive impact amongst some of the more senior members of our community.

The Lunch Club met twice each month, serving a delicious two-course lunch; during the building works, we met in the Oxshott Village Centre. Coffee Comfort, hosted each month by the bereavement team, was also thriving and well-attended; usually held at church, we met in the home of one of the group during the building works. Our Craft Club continued to �lourish, with increasing numbers at our weekly meetings; during the building works, we met in the Oxshott Community Hub.

Senior members of the church gained much themselves from their involvement in all the various ministries, and speci�ic events, such as a Harvest Breakfast before a Sunday service in October, and a Christian Aid Quiz in May, also served to support and encourage all members of the church family.

Pastoral support

Pastoral support is available for anyone in the parish who needs it, regardless of whether or not they are a member of the church family. We have a team of trained pastoral assistants (PAs), including those who had previously comprised the bereavement team, who worked closely with the clergy and the of�ice team; we met monthly to review concerns and actions taken. Training is regularly provided for the PAs, including the training of new members of the team.

Life Group members and (in particular) leaders are also integral to our pastoral support and we are really thankful to God for them.

Safeguarding

We have both Lead and Deputy Safeguarding Of�icers, who provide critically important support for all PAs, churchwardens and clergy, and we are immensely grateful to them both. In addition, all members of the PCC have had the necessary Safeguarding training.

Prayer

Throughout 2025, Saturday Prayers were held in church to pray for the work of St Andrew’s, the parish and our Mission Partners. Attendees included those with responsibilities in the church.

Weekly prayer meetings, termed Pray Together, which include the clergy and of�ice staff, took place on Tuesdays at 9am (when not constrained by the building work), in person or via zoom.

Mission Partners and Outward Giving

Since 2019 the PCC has maintained and fostered a balanced range of Mission Partnerships. We have a long-standing commitment to give a �igure equal to 10% of our annual core income as a church to these Mission Partners.

In addition, during the year we had a number of special collections to support speci�ic initiatives of some of our Mission Partners and other charities that support our mission and provide public bene�it.

Our relationships with, and our committed �inancial support for, our Mission Partners continue to form one of the key ways in which we serve and support our wider community, rather than just ourselves. These relationships are maintained and enhanced through the links with our Life Groups (see above).

In total, in 2025 our support to our Mission Partners and to other aligned charities (from planned commitment, by special collections and special purpose donations) totalled £30,518, using £652 of the brought forward accrual, with £1,419 carried forward to 2026. The speci�ic disbursements made to

each of these Mission Partners/charities are detailed in the Notes to the Financial Statements, Section 10 (see below).

Building Your Church

Building Your Church (BYC) was our key initiative in looking to expand as a church, and to carry out the necessary improvements to our ancillary buildings so we can better serve the parish. A crucial part of growing our young people and families ministries was the appointment of our then-Curate Revd Patrick Davies as a Locally Supported Minister in 2023, with full provision for all associated costs.

As regards the buildings, the work included much-needed investment into the hall, vestibule, of�ices, kitchen and toilets, to bene�it all users, both the church family and the local community. Completion of the work, which started in September 2024, was marked with an opening ceremony as part of our Community Open Day on Pentecost Sunday, 8 June 2025. We believe that God will bless us with the impact of these amazing and impressive buildings, and are delighted that the much-welcomed new facilities are already well used – including a pleasing increase in use from across the village.

The income and expenditure of all the funds, and previous year comparatives, are detailed in the Notes to the Financial Statements, Section 16 (see below).

Key features

The Unrestricted General Fund, used for the day-to-day running of the church (and including our contribution to the Parish Share and our missionary and charitable giving) ended with a reduction in funds. The Parish Share paid to the Diocese increased to £106,721 (2024: £88,727, a figure reduced �rom £102,160 because o� the vicar’s indisposition). Outward giving increased to £30,518 (2024: £30,284) being over 11% of our total General Fund income.

The Development Funds continued to receive income towards the funding of the BYC initiative to refurbish our ancillary buildings (see above), but the reduced year-end balances re�lected payment of the building costs. Part of the Unrestricted legacy of £250,000, in the 2024 accounts, was used to pay for the unplanned costs arising from the project. The �inal retentions for the project will be paid in February 2026, and the total costs since September 2024 are shown in the Notes to the Financial Statements, Section 14 (see below).

The young people and families ministries were �inanced from the Restricted Locally Supported Minister Fund and the fund at the end of the year is shown above.

Reserves policy

The PCC’s reserves policy is to hold suf�icient free reserves to ensure the protection of St Andrew’s core activities and any special projects. The general fund unrestricted reserves are £65,138 and the trustees feel this level of three months’ general fund expenditure is justi�ied as there may be a requirement to fund a de�icit of income versus expenditure in 2026.

Structure, governance and management

The method of appointment of both PCC members and churchwardens is set out in the Church Representation Rules.

We have two churchwardens, Jill Perrett and Rebecca Mayhew. Currently we have no deputy wardens, but aim to return to having a full team of two wardens and two deputies as soon as possible. The PCC Secretary position is currently Vacant. The Treasurer, elected annually at the �irst PCC meeting after the APCM, continues to be Carl Jackson. Our Health and Safety Of�icer is Ruth Burns.

The PCC met on �ive occasions during the year, with Chairmanship shared between Ruth Burns and Jill Perrett. We have a Church Development Plan (CDP), i.e. establishing our current priorities, overseen by the PCC. Our agreed two key priorities are:

  1. Connecting – with God, with one another, and across our community, and

  2. Deepening – our relationships in all areas.

Church matters are dealt with effectively by the various sub-committees, which are responsible to the PCC. Current sub-committees (with chairs) are: Standing Committee (Ruth Burns or Jill Perrett, depending on who was to chair the subsequent PCC meeting); Parish Giving (Carl Jackson); Mission Partnering (Mark Currie); Hospitality (Adele Wright); Families, Children and Youth (Revd Patrick Davies). The Publicity Team (chair: Patrick Davies) also meets regularly to oversee our external communications.

The PCC approves all policies and procedures, and reviews policies on a rotating basis. Policies reviewed in 2025 included: Complaint Handling Policy, Fire Safety Policy, Health and Safety Policy, Investment Policy, Lone Working Policy, Reserves Policy and the Risk Management Policy. A Risk Register is maintained and reviewed by the PCC at least once a year. The Treasurer is primarily responsible for managing �inancial risk along with the Standing Committee. The PCC also has a robust GDPR policy.

Personnel

Steph Rustom completed the Foundations in Ministry programme in June 2025, and began training for ordination through St Martha’s College in September 2025. Steph will remain at St Andrew’s for the duration of her ordination training, with the exception of some short term placements in later years. We were joined in October 2025 by David Boothby, an Ordinand on Placement from All Saints’ Ockham. David’s placement is anticipated to conclude at Easter 2026.

Belinda Davies continued in a part-time role, with a speci�ic focus to support families of pre-school aged children in the church and community. Jane Berridge, Belinda Davies and Jill Perrett continued on the Foundations in Ministry Programme, through St Martha’s College, and will graduate in June 2026.

We are most grateful to Val Beynon, Director of Music, who continues to receive an honorarium for her services, and to Nicky Orlebar, our organist; we engage and pay other organists as necessary. Claire Costard and Rowena Osman-Robertson (Church Administrator and Assistant Administrator) continued in their sterling work in the of�ice. We employed cleaners on an ad-hoc basis for most of the year, but from December onwards Mark Ssebakijje has been our self-employed cleaner.

In addition to the ‘of�icial’ staff, there are many ministries in our church, supporting both church and community activities and groups, undertaken by numerous church and community volunteers.

Parochial Church Council of St Andrew’s Church Oxsho�

Notes to the Financial Statements for 2025

Legal Status of the Church

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Andrew’s Oxshott is a Parochial Church Council established under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure (1956) as amended and the Church Representation Rules, and is a charity registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales, number 1128379. Details of the principal of�ice are included in the PCC’s Annual Report.

Accoun�ng Policies

The �inancial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) – Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and Charities Act 2011. The PCC constitutes a public bene�it entity as de�ined by FRS 102.

The �inancial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The �inancial statements 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 af�iliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.

Going Concern

The Church has adequate reserves and recurring sources of income. The PCC therefore believes there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a Going Concern and the Financial Statements have been prepared on that basis.

Funds

The Unrestricted General Fund represents the funds of the PCC which are available for the general purposes of the PCC and that are not subject to any restrictions on their use.

The Unrestricted Development Fund was set up by the PCC to fund activities to achieve the vision of St Andrew’s. Any unrestricted legacies received are allocated to this fund and individual members of the congregation are also invited to make donations to this fund. However, at the discretion of the PCC these monies can be used to support general fund expenditure, e.g. if monies were required to meet the ordinary operating budget; these monies are accordingly shown as an unrestricted rather than a restricted fund.

The Restricted Development Fund was set up by the PCC after the launch of fundraising for the Building Project.

The Restricted Hardship Fund was set up following the receipt of monies from the trustees of St Andrew’s Pre-School after its closure in 2019, to be used to bene�it local pre-school aged children through, for example, providing fees support, training for those who work with young children within the community, or for the support for a mother's emotional needs.

The Restricted Mission Partner Travel Fund was set up to fund the travel costs of trips from Mission Partners to visit St Andrew’s, and/or fund the travel costs of a visit from a member of the Mission Partnering Committee, Ministry team or a Life Group to a Mission Partner.

The Restricted Economic Hardship fund was set up for those in our church and community most impacted by the economic crisis.

The Restricted Locally Supported Minister Fund was set up to fund a locally supported minister.

Incoming Resources

Planned giving, legacies, other gifts and collections are recognised when received, or when formally

Issued for APCM March 2026

Page 9 of 20

Docusign Envelope ID: EC89E45B-D25F-4AFE-B931-A6F70B022E6C

advised. Gift Aid tax refunds are recognized when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Funds raised from hall rentals, magazine sales, and various other activities are accounted for gross and recognised when received. Fee income and interest are accounted for when received.

Resources Used

Outward giving is accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The Diocesan Parish Share is accounted for when due.

Other expenditure is recognised when it is incurred and includes, where applicable, irrecoverable VAT.

The books of account remain open until all known charges relating to the year have been paid or accrued and accounted for in the year’s accounts as paid, so all known expenditure relating to the year is accounted for in the accounts of the year.

Fixed Assets

Consecrated and bene�iced property of any kind is excluded from the �inancial statements by s.96(2)(a) 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 also excluded from the accounts. They are listed in the Church Inventory that can be inspected at any reasonable time.

All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or bene�ice buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities and separately disclosed. Expenditure on individual items of equipment up to a value of £5,000 is written off when acquired. Any items over £5,000 are capitalised as �ixed assets and depreciated over their useful life. There were no assets in this category at 31 December 2025.

Current Assets

Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December 2025 are shown as debtors.

Pension Costs

St Andrew’s Church (Oxshott) (PB 2014) participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of The Church Workers Pension Fund (CWPF) for lay staff. The Scheme is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the assets of the schemes separately from those of the Employer and the other participating employers.

The CWPF has a section known as the De�ined Bene�its Scheme, a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic and a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014.

The Pension Builder Scheme of the CWPF consists of two sections, Pension Builder Classic and Pension Builder 2014, both of which are classed as de�ined bene�it schemes.

Pension Builder Classic provides a pension, accumulated from contributions paid and converted into a deferred annuity during employment based on terms set and reviewed by the Church of England Pensions Board from time to time. Discretionary increases may also be added, depending on investment returns and other factors.

Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum which members use to provide bene�its at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. Discretionary bonuses may be added before retirement, depending on investment returns and other factors. The account, plus any bonuses declared, is payable, unreduced, from age 65.

There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme.

The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This is because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme’s assets and liabilities to speci�ic employers and means that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a de�ined contribution scheme. The pensions costs charged within the Statement of Financial Activities are the contributions payable (2025: £1,254 2024: £725).

A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is carried out by the Church of England once every three years. The most recent was carried out as at 31 December 2025 and showed a surplus. The surplus has to be audited. There is no requirement for de�icit contributions.

Independent Examiner’s report to the Parochial Church Council of the Parish of St Andrew’s Oxshott

I report to the members on my examination of the accounts of The Parochial Church Council of The Parish of St Andrew’s Oxshott (‘the PCC’) for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Responsibili�es and basis of report

As the members of the PCC (and trustees for the purposes of charity law) 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 PCC’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent Examiner’s statement

Since the PCC’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I con�irm that I am quali�ied to undertake the examination because I am member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the PCC has prepared the accounts in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

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

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.

Use of my report

This report is made solely to the PCC, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the PCC those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the PCC as a body for my work or for this report.
