STANDING & FINANCE COMMITTEE

This is the only committee required by law, which meets bi-monthly to transact the business of the PCC, subject to any delegated responsibilities made by the PCC.

BUILDING COMMITTEE

This committee attends to matters relating to the stewardship of church buildings, contents, churchyards, The Old School Room and Church House.

CHARITIES REVIEW COMMITTEE

The committee meets regularly, under the chairmanship of Robert Hewitt, to monitor and review the charities we support.

In addition, there are other ad hoc committees to handle Gardens & Churchyard issues and Youth work.

CHURCH STAFF

At the end of the year, the parish employed a full-time Children & Families Minister, a fulltime Youth Minister, a part-time Assistant Youth Minister, a part-time Parish Operations manager, a part-time Halls and Facilities manager, a book-keeper and two part-time secretaries in the Parish Office. We also employed a part-time caretaker who assists with general maintenance at the Church of the Good Shepherd. In addition, honoraria are paid to the Rector’s wife for secretarial help and a parishioner who opens and closes Wisley Church every day.

CHURCH ATTENDANCE

There were 396 names on our Electoral Roll at the last Annual Meeting held in October 2020 of whom 153 lived outside the parish.

Our usual average Sunday service attendance is considerably lower this year given our churches were either closed due to lockdown or attendance was restricted for most of the year. Therefore, we thought it may be of interest to know there were on average 363 weekly views of the Sunday morning service on our YouTube channel.

During the year there were 3 weddings, 41 funerals (of which 20 had formal services in the parish) 9 services of interment of ashes and 4 baptisms.

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT FOR 2020

BY THE RECTOR, THE REVEREND CANON NICHOLAS AIKEN, B.A., M.A.

2020 began with such promise and considerable new initiatives.

In January we launched Alpha at Home and I invited many couples to the Good Shepherd. I asked them to consider running the Alpha Course with friends who might be interested, at home. The course material and videos are excellent and so easy to view. This promised to be quite an opportunity to reach out to family and friends but alas, lockdown meant the planned initiative was not able to take place.

We had also invited the Bishop of Guildford to come and give a talk on why he was a Christian. I invited folk to invite friends and the talk was to be preceded by a reception. The invitation produced a lot of interest. I think it would have been a very successful and worthwhile reaching out to the community but alas, it of course had to be cancelled.

We also had the Archbishop of Canterbury coming to the Diocese for a series of events which parishioners would have been able to attend. Alas, that had to be cancelled too, but the Archbishop is now coming this September.

As you are all fully aware, when lockdown happened of course all the things that we do in, and for, the community, stopped. However, Joe Gervasio and David Haysom were absolute stars. With their incredible technical abilities they were able to broadcast the Sunday service initially from the Good Shepherd, and then pre-recorded each Sunday. These have been extremely worthwhile and very successful, with both church members and non-church members viewing. We have been able to reach out in ways which we had never been able to do before. I would like to say on the parish’s behalf a huge thank you to Joe and David for the vast amount of time and effort they have put into the broadcasting of our Sunday morning services.

We have also been very fortunate that the staff in the Parish Office have kept the church functioning by managing to keep all the ongoing queries and organisation going. The reality was that closing everything down was not a simple, or easy process, and the office was able to deal with all the phone calls and queries that this entailed. So, I would like to express my thanks to Linda, Sarah, Kerry and Carol who kept the office going during 2020 through very difficult and challenging times.

Also, Annette and Guy responded with huge amounts of time and effort, and considerable imagination to keep us financially viable. Annette spent time on numerous initiatives to help us financially, since we need an income of £1,000 a day to make ends meet.

Also, Suzanne and Anthony worked hard to maintain contact and provide online activities for all the children, teenagers and young families. So, despite the restrictions, the likes of which we have never experienced before, they were able to help and support the younger members of our congregation.

In October we were able to host for the first time ever at the Good Shepherd an Ordination Service, as the Cathedral was not available. It gave us great pleasure to see Mark ordained Priest and Diane ordained Deacon. Despite the limitations, it was a very joyful event and of course folk were able to watch online as well. So, we were very thrilled on all accounts to host an Ordination Service for our Home Team and see Diane complete her three years of training and Mark be fully fledged as a Priest.

The Church Wardens also worked very hard at our three churches when we were able to open again, but within the restrictions the government and church had laid down, so that everyone who attended was in a safe environment. They worked hard to help and to provide a secure worship experience.

REPORT ON THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE DEANERY SYNOD

BY MATTHEW RYAN AND CHRIS NEWELL

During the past year, Deanery Synod meetings have continued by Zoom. This has resulted in significantly higher attendance at the quarterly ‘virtual’ synod meetings than if they were held in person. Woking is fortunate to have a particularly active Deanery Synod and the momentum has continued under the new Area Dean, Rev. Jonathan Thomas and the Deanery leadership team. Over the past year, the Deanery has been particularly instrumental in raising the profile of our neighbouring church of St Michael’s Sheerwater, where through an awareness raising activity, funds have been secured for projects in Sheerwater to support the ministry of Rev. Gillaine Holland. Gillaine is supported through a Bishop’s Missionary Order, which has now been extended for a further five years.

Another issue that has come into focus is the issue of communication between Deanery and PCCs. Like many parishes, Wisley with Pyrford has a slot for Synod members to feedback to the PCC at our regular PCC meetings, but a common issue relates to the practicalities of feeding back up the chain from PCC to Deanery. For example, do we offer an opportunity for a member of the PCC or wider church membership to request that an issue is taken to Deanery and even up to Diocesan or National Synod? Few church members really understand ‘synodical governance’ and the role of PCC/Deanery/Diocesan/National, so further education for PCC members and Deanery reps may be particularly useful. Hopefully, the PCC will consider both of these issues over the coming months.

In addition to the business meeting, the Deanery also holds sessions which are open to all. Recent focus has included a presentation about the C of E’s ‘Living in Love and Faith’ initiative, where the Deanery was given an overview of the aims and objectives of the initiative. Our Parish Ministry Team are a step ahead of other churches in the Deanery and are already doing the course. The wider church membership will be learning more about LLF later this year. Other interesting topics during the past year have included an inspiring focus on military and hospital ministry, the latter being particularly relevant during the pandemic, where Rev. Laurance Gamlen and his chaplaincy team at St.Peter’s Hospital have gone the extra mile to provide spiritual guidance to patients during a time when often their relatives have not been able to visit.

WORSHIP AND PRAYER NETWORK

BY CAROLINE OLDROYD

It has been a roller-coaster year for providing Worship services on Sundays within the parish. We have moved from online services only at the Good Shepherd, to opening our 3 churches in September whilst at the same time livestreaming the service at CGS. This continued until the November lockdown when we had to close and only have a livestreamed service. We reopened all 3 churches in December, so we could gather to celebrate Christmas, but then the PCC took the decision in early January to close again due the increase in the R number for Covid. Since then, we have been producing a live streamed service at the Good Shepherd, attended only by those participating in the service.

Suzanne has continued running Sunday church for children for much of this time, either in person or more recently on Zoom. Involving children in leading worship through action song videos has been immensely helpful for them and us as a church.

We still have over 300 “hits” on the YouTube channel for each Sunday service. Remembering that in many cases there is more than one person watching on each device, we can see that our services are being well received by a good number of people.

It has been a steep learning curve for our technical team but we are truly grateful for the countless hours they have put in to enable us to worship God together on a Sunday morning. Thank you to Joe Gervasio and David Haysom, who have done the lion’s share of the work, assisted by Paul Ingram, Luke Knowles and Steve Chalkley.

The midweek communion service started again in the summer but has similarly had to temporarily close.

The 7 Sunday evening service has continued throughout on Zoom. Melanie Cook organises this every week and Amy Clough often assists with the screen sharing required. We are hugely grateful to a team of clergy, lay ministers and occasional preachers who preach at this service and so far, we have studied several of Paul’s epistles as well as the book of Hebrews and James.

The midweek thoughts continue, again with a team of clergy, occasional preachers and lay ministers taking part. Tots Praise has enabled those with young children to worship either at home or in church and we do so appreciate the sterling work that Suzanne does to make this happen. She also produces regular assemblies for the school, to enable them to worship at home, and organises a team of volunteers to act out the “open the book” Bible stories for the school on Zoom. Worship and prayer continue to be an important part of assemblies produced for the pupils and families of Pyrford Primary School and enabled worship and prayer in the home when many were home-schooling. Suzanne also provided playlists for the holiday clubs and teaching videos to help children worship at home.

EXP has continued meeting together every Wednesday evening over Zoom. We start each session by asking a young person to open it in prayer. We have also got the youth to take turns in choosing which worship song we listen to that evening. We have found by doing

[Reports & Accounts 2020 ]

this they start taking ownership of the group and making them feel included rather than just attending.

At the very end of the session, which has been really encouraging, we do prayer requests/ praise reports. Many of them ask for prayer and do keep us updated on their prayer requests. After the requests we take time to pray out loud for each other.The youth have taken really well to praying out loud especially over Zoom which is not the easiest platform to speak on.

The flower arranging team have been busy producing flower displays for all 3 churches to aid our worship. More recently it has been vital to have some spring colour at the Good shepherd, visible during our livestream services there. Thanks to all who offer this important service.

The parish prayer ministry continues. This pandemic has certainly made us all turn to God in prayer more frequently, asking for help and petition for ourselves and others as well as giving thanks for his blessings to us. Caroline sends out regular prayer requests and updates by email to members of the parish, so if you would like to be included either by giving a request or by joining the team of recipients of this email do contact her.

Facebook live prayers at 6pm through February 2021 showed another way we might encourage and support prayer in the parish. Morning prayer takes place on Zoom at 8.309am on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and all are welcome to join this. Prayer meetings also take place on Zoom on some Monday evenings, Tuesday mornings and Friday mornings. Please see the website and magazine for details.

PASTORAL CARE NETWORK

BY THE REVEREND MARK POTTER

As the end of lockdown now seems an actual reality with vaccinations being effectively rolled out across the nation, there is the optimism and hope that our expressions of God’s love to others in the pastoral care we provide can return to more in person meeting without the concern about the pandemic.

Despite many things remaining the same, it is important to note that several wonderful things have been achieved since the last APCM in October.

Pastoral Assistants

With many people isolated, bereaved and in great need over the recent past, our PAs are continuing their fantastic support of so many in need. With individuals unable to leave their homes as a result of the pandemic, many regular supportive phone calls have been regularly made to different members of our community. PAs are also continuing to shop and collect prescriptions for some that need that service. As with the last report, the PAs continue to show love and care for those who have been struggling with low mood and depression through the latest stages of lockdown. On a slightly different note, it is wonderful that our PAs have been delivering cards and gifts, such as cakes and biscuits, to Cranmore Nursing Home to bless those there including the staff.

Festive Teas and Valentine’s Biscuits

Two great initiatives that have happened over the last 4 months were the Festive Teas and Valentine’s Biscuits. As it was not viable to put on a Christmas lunch, a Festive Tea was delivered thanks to an amazing team of volunteers. Beautiful teas were put together for 72 recipients, accounting for 58 deliveries around the parish. As one can imagine, it was extremely well received and enjoyed by so many. 18 volunteers baked, making mince pies, cakes and savouries (including pigs in blankets), 6 volunteers packed up the teas, and 25 delivered them.

Initially, working with the same list of recipients as the Festive Tea, the number wanting valentine’s biscuits grew to 85 households accounting for 104 different people. The baking was done by an incredible team that included many who baked for the festive teas. A lot of the deliveries were done by families, with Suzanne coordinating this. In all there were 26 people delivering including some children. There have been many people who have served so selflessly in these initiatives, but perhaps it is apt to mention Claire Nix who has been a pivotal common denominator in several of these initiatives, including last year’s Down Memory Lane Teas, The Greek Holiday at Home Lunch, the Festive Teas and The Valentine’s Biscuits.

Homegroups

Whilst homegroups come more under the remit of discipleship, it is important to mention the incredible job that homegroup leaders have done to care for their homegroups through the challenges of lockdown. With the normal challenging issues of life occurring for people

[Reports & Accounts 2020 ]

anyway, the addition of the Covid pandemic has made this all the more difficult to bear, but in this the homegroup leaders have been that much-needed, pastoring support in very tricky times.

Youthwork

EXP has continued largely on Zoom online on Wednesday nights. This has maintained a discipleship and pastoral fellowship for many of our youth who wish to attend. It has been wonderful to see so many different young people on Zoom. As things return to normal with school reopening, we await the national youth guidance for meeting again in person at church. There is the hope that this will be imminent.

The Friday youth club is also looking to start up again. Details of this will be clarified as soon as realistically possible after determining the latest guidelines.

Families’ and Children’s Work

Whilst a lot of children’s and families’ work has been limited during the last year, there have been a number of things going on to bless and encourage children. Tots Praise has continued throughout most of the pandemic as a support group, thus being permitted to run in church. This has largely been accessed online, with a few parents and children being in physical attendance at the Church of the Good Shepherd.

More recently there has been an online Sunday School offered by Suzanne from 9.30am on a Sunday morning. This has been a real success in bringing young children together online as they explore their relationship with Jesus.

Funerals

Nick and I have had a reasonably regular stream of funerals to do, sometimes with a few happening in any given week. Whilst this ministry is at times quite tough, especially with some younger Covid deaths being part of the equation, it has also been a rare chance to meet face to face with people in a time of profound need. The precious nature of being able to minister to families in person has been underlined by a year where the ability to be with people in need has been often impossible.

Befriending Cards

At the start of this year, the parish delivered befriending cards to every house in Pyrford’s 2400 houses. The result was not very great as only 4 people responded. But nevertheless, it showed God’s love to the community and raises awareness of church as part of that. The reality is that we never know when one of those cards may be picked up and used to contact our church.

LLF Course

The wider ministry engaging in the Living in Love and Faithfulness course. The course offered a reminder that a gentle and humble dialogue about issues of sexuality was vital for the church to engage in. Raising awareness of the need to openly discuss this has been helpful and conversations were empathetic, gentle and respectful.

[Reports & Accounts 2020 ]

Mothering Sunday Posies

As we did last year, we have provided posies for mums to be picked up or delivered around the parish. The mothering Sunday posies are arranged by Jimmie. People collected from the church of the Good Shepherd or direct from Jimmie on Mothering Sunday. Part of the cost was covered by Norman Burtt’s family, who have done so for 23 years.

Helping Others

Tina Osborne has reported that this is rather quiet at the moment. Vaccination appointments and odd prescription enquiries seem to be the main thing that the Helping Others team is being asked to do. Shopping errands are still continuing. United Pyrford Charities made a very generous £189 donation so that the team could buy a second hand phone off ebay. However, when purchased, it turned out to be brand new - Praise God! One area where more personnel is needed is to have a few more people on the team to be drivers to give lifts to those in need.

Meals for Families

Janet Sutherland felt God was prompting her to bless families, particularly of home schooling children with a prepared, oven ready meal. This plan is currently underway and has been extremely well received, allowing families to enjoy a super meal without the added pressure of having to prepare it.

It has been noted that family and marriage relationships may have been strained over the last year. So, linked to the theme of blessing families, Diane Davidson is currently about to start another project to bless married couples to show how cherished marriage is to God. I will report on this fully in the next APCM report.

Finally, some of the the prayer points building towards the future remain the same as the last APCM. Prayer and discussion has been going into all these areas, and of those helpful discussions are being had in terms of engaging men in the parish on a journey of fellowship and deepening their faith. This has been particularly encouraging to me.

Thus, as before here are some prayer points and aims for the next few months (some are the same as last time).

We would love to have more men involved particularly in PA roles.

It would be wonderful to raise the awareness of the Pastoral Network in our church family, so that more of us can become pastorally aware, whilst rejoicing in the truth that there are evidently so many in our church that are exercising a pastoral expression of their faith.

To raise awareness in our parish community of what pastoral care we currently provide or where it can be accessed.

That God will provide drivers for the Helping Others team.

For God to bring clarity as to how we can engage men in the fellowship of church and discipleship in the parish; that we will see God’s kingdom growing in this area.

[Reports & Accounts 2020 ]

With the devotion and kindness shown in pastoral care across the parish and as we near Easter, perhaps this verse from John 13 will resonate as we continue to seek and show God’s love to each other and world in need:

“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

CHURCHYARD AND GARDENS

BY JIMMIE WALKER

Gardening Angels don’t lose their jobs or get furloughed in a pandemic so we have continued working in the three churchyards, gardens at the Good Shepherd and all the car parks as normal, weeding, pruning, clearing leaves and litter, sometimes taking a turn at clearing gutters, downpipes and car park drains as leaves and acorns do their best to block these all the year round. The final challenge is finding imaginative ways to solve the unwelcome fly-tips we suffer from time to time at the Warren Lane car park.

We miss Jean Smith who was a faithful regular for many years and also one or two who have retired, but with some younger recruits we have had the most energetic team ever. Countless barrow-loads of brambles have been cleared from all three churchyards and the car parks as they grow vigorously in all seasons. The most striking result is the clearance of the huge bramble thicket at the bottom of the new graveyard, which exposed the threadbare nature of the hedge boundary on Church Hill. We duly bought 125 Hawthorn whips, grown from English seed, which we planted to fill the gaps. Only 3 days later, a tractor going down Church Hill and a delivery van, coming up, collided, resulting in large chunks of the old hedge being gouged out, so we had to get more whips! Hopefully we will have a recognisable hedge in five years’ time. Last spring we planted some Lily of the Valley plants we had been given, so are hoping they survived the summer drought and will make their appearance soon. We would also like to plant some more daffodils in Wisley churchyard in September and are currently investigating what variety will survive drought on the Wisley sand, as daffodils prefer well drained moist soil.

As we reach the lowest area of the new churchyard, it has become necessary to delineate the boundary between the area for burials and the land to the right of the path reserved for the interment of ashes in the future, so we will shortly be installing some short posts along this line as a temporary measure.

Finally, a big thank you to everyone, volunteers and professionals who work so hard to keep our churchyards from being overwhelmed by brambles and ensure that the snowdrops, daffodils, primroses and other wild flowers can flourish.

DISCIPLESHIP NETWORK

BY THE REVEREND DIANE DAVIDSON

It is most encouraging to find that despite the disruption over the last year, many of our discipleship activities have continued to provide support and growth for a significant number of our church members.

Our goals for the vision period 2018-2021 remain as:

We will enable personal spiritual growth for everyone at all levels

Provide mutual support and learning

Live Spirit filled lives, joyfully using our gifts for His service

These will need to be updated during the coming year. Current emphases from various discipleship activities seem to be focussed on practising vulnerability, hearing more directly from God and bringing God’s love and life to our community through service and collaboration.

A national CofE initiative known as Everyday Faith is in progress and our parish has been chosen as a pilot parish for the Diocese. This is not a top down initiative but rather an attempt to inspire all church members, lay and clergy, to see how God is calling them to live out their discipleship in their everyday lives and jobs. We have been concentrating on infusing this attitude into our sermon material and our activities. Hopefully this will become even more apparent over the coming year.

The network has continued to offer integrated sermon series and homegroup material. In general this has been well received. There is a further plan in place for the coming year. This will include some material on the national Living in Love and Faith resources which the ministry team have previewed. Our homegroup leaders have found this year particularly draining but have done a magnificent job of caring for their group members and inspiring their contined studying, largely via Zoom.

Further discipleship opportunities have been provided by our book group and women’s and men’s ministry. Women’s Ministry has added a weekly coffee catch up to provide a source of socialising to their already wonderful offering of monthly deeper Bible teaching and fitness with Bible study. Their walking group has been suspended during lockdown but pairs of women have walked when allowed. Men’s Ministry has continued with the weekly Bible reading group and the monthly Curry Night. Further offerings are being considered by a small planning group.

An online Alpha course is currently in progress while other courses are largely on hold for the moment. Evidence of deepening discipleship has also been seen in the much appreciated fingerprint slots and by the increasing number of helpful magazine articles

[Reports & Accounts 2020 ]

13

being submitted. (Many thanks are due to Eldon for his continuing commitment to encouraging participation and for carefully considering the direction the magazine is taking.)

Spring Harvest will be online again this year allowing increased participation, although there is now a cost for the material. Our delayed parish weekend is booked for later in the year, subject to restrictions and interest.

Children and Families Ministry

Suzanne has continued with her usual energy and enthusiasm to stay in contact with children and families. Assemblies continue to be requested by Pyrford Primary School, video participation in our services has been maintained and online Sunday school has restarted.

The lack of physical contact of families within the church family and in the community with church activities over 2020 when offered, has increased our awareness of the challenge we have in engaging families both outside and in the church, in discipleship. Continued thought and prayer are going into reimagining children and families' ministry for the future.

Building intergenerational connections has continued with children and young families being involved with several of our pastoral outreach activities. Our Lent series gave a new understanding of how we might talk to children and adults new to faith (and perhaps mature in faith too) about hearing from God.

Youth Ministry

Intergenerational prayer has been promoted by the Young and Old initiative with children and young people, and older members of the congregations praying for each other in pairs.

EXP has continued online with a core group of young people. Despite the difficulties of group chat on Zoom, it has been encouraging to see the young people developing their confidence in sharing and praying aloud for one another.

As the Friday youth group had to stop over lockdown, it has been difficult to engage with more than a handful of young people. However, Anthony and Xanna have been wonderful at contacting individuals and once a month hosting an online Zoom social night. In September we aim to restart the group, changing the time to 4-6pm weekly.

Additionally we are hoping to start a lads’ group after Easter, targeting the lads’ who are on the fringe of our community. The idea behind this group is to surround them with positive male role models.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT NETWORK

BY SUZANNE LEES-SMITH

WOKING BESOM REPORT 2020 FOR THE APCM

Besom was operating as normal at the start of the year; willing time givers, plenty of requests for help coming in daily and our ability to meet a lot of those needs due to the generosity of lots of people giving. Then lock down happened and we, like everyone else, had to adapt.

Firstly, most of our team are of the vulnerable age and had to isolate but that didn’t mean we stopped working! We engaged with Zoom meetings to keep connected whilst working out how we could best serve our local community under the Besom umbrella. We decided that, with the continued financial generosity of Wisley with Pyrford, we could use a little bit more spending power than we ever had and purchased a lot of new items for our recipients - numerous ovens, washing machines, beds (one lady hadn’t had a bed for 18 months), fridge freezers, microwaves, hot plates, TVs and freeview boxes, mattresses and mattress protectors etc. A lot of these items were bought online and delivered directly to the people in need in order to minimise any risk.

We were able to help with over 150 referrals last year right up until Christmas, which doesn’t reflect the total number of individuals we helped, as there were many families included and it also doesn’t include the number of referrals we declined.

As the multiple lockdowns lifted, those who felt safe and were able to, adhering to our new “stay safe” rules regarding sanitising etc, were able to do a little bit more of the physical work of Besom and we did some doorstep collections and deliveries. Now, in 2021, most of our team have had their first vaccine, and we are again venturing out with caution.

Besom is still not back to normal but poverty doesn’t take that into consideration! However, we have learnt to adapt and serve our local community as best we can under the circumstances, and with the financial input of Wisley with Pyrford, we have been able to purchase so many brand new items for our recipients which has been an absolute joy! We are so grateful for your support as it is continuing to transform lives, even throughout this pandemic, and people are seeing God at work. [Julia Wishart]

CMS Devonport

Kath and I met up with Ruth Sayers in Devonport last week. She informed us that together with all the other CMS Partners working in the UK she had been furloughed under the government scheme. Ruth is working hard to try and reopen the work club since there is an even greater need than normal as unemployment in Devonport has risen. Unfortunately Plymouth City Council has not yet opened their libraries. You will remember the church and library coexist in the same building. During lockdown Ruth has been helping at the Christian Resource Centre in central Plymouth, which among other projects provides food parcels. Simon, the very good Youth Worker, who works part time in Devonport, is employed via the Resource Centre. [Fred Heatley]

Support during 2020

Our key areas of support in 2020 were: managing a food crisis, sustainable planting of crops, street boys and trees.

2020 was a hard time for everyone but during lockdown many families were starving, compounded by terrible flooding which washed away soil, crops and homes. Through Amaha We Uganda we were able to encourage and give support, helping the very poor and vulnerable with gifts of food. We also gave seed to plant for the next season. We have literally seen the fruits of this as William sent us the film of the women’s groups sharing seed with others as they harvested their own and then gave 50% away. The women’s micro finance groups continue to grow and support one another.

During lockdown the Street kids suffered greatly and again the team were able to help in practical and spiritual ways, meeting fortnightly at the team office/library and garden. Each month the street boys are given soap and a meal, provided by Amaha We Uganda. They meet for fellowship and football.

It was with great joy that we were able to join in, by Zoom, the consecration of the new Bishop Nason. He is a good man and one of his first appointments was to make William the head of Mission and Evangelism in the diocese which meant William moving to Kasese away from his parish in Customs, close to Bwera. We will continue to keep close links with the work there through him.

As the diocese came out of lockdown, through a generous gift from Pyrford and Ash Vale we were able to fund a conference of all the clergy in the diocese, during which we were able to lead a meeting through Zoom! This allowed us to promote Amaha We Uganda, and the work of the team, focusing on the need to plant trees. During 2020 tree nurseries were planted in three key areas thanks to the generous support of people from Wisley with Pyrford and Ash Vale. Women were also trained as tree champions and have taken this training back to their communities, explaining the importance of trees for the environment and how to look after the saplings. The Bishop is right behind us in this and already thousands of native tree saplings have gone out to people to plant up in the hills. Now through the authority and blessing of the Bishop we have the opportunity to reforest the eastern slopes of the Rwenzori mountain range, critical in our fight to stop global warming and soil erosion. At the moment the only thing stopping us in doing this is the money to establish more tree nurseries. The hope is to have one in each archdeaconry centre,13 in total.

A further group of students passed their training in hairdressing and tailoring and new students have signed on for 2021. There were fewer trainees through 2020 because of lockdown. The Good Samaritan skills centre is working towards being a sustainable project and we gave very little funding through 2020.

The opportunities to serve are so great for the team at the moment that it can seem overwhelming but in Job and William we have two wise team leaders and so feel confident that they will lead us in God’s way.

Pray for the team as they continue to serve the Lord.

Charity Review Group - Woking Street Angels.

Street Angels had to stand down during lockdown, but on July 17 they returned to the town centre during weekend nights. Thanks to the generosity of many supporters, and especially that of the parish of Wisley with Pyrford, they were able to buy all the PPE they needed to keep the volunteers as safe as possible when on duty. That said, no volunteer was made to feel obliged to resume duties if he or she felt uncomfortable doing so.

The Street Angels were welcomed back on to the streets by night-time revellers and those working through the night, such as the door staff, police and paramedics. Although the town centre hasn't been as busy as usual, Street Angels are always needed and their help continues to be much appreciated.

Due to the latest new restrictions, Street Angels have changed their shift times and are now going out from 8pm until about 11pm, or later depending on the need.

Woking Street Angels continue to seek out and train new volunteers. Recently 25 Street Angels took part in a Zoom training session on Hate Crime and Child Exploitation, led by Inspector David Bentley, Borough Commander for Woking Police. He stressed how helpful Street Angels can be in talking to people who may be victims of these crimes, and encouraging them to come forward and seek help.

The charity's trustees are planning various events in 2021 to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Woking Street Angels. They continue to be most grateful to the Parish of Wisley with Pyrford for prayer support, for very generous donations over those ten years and for all the members of the parish who have become trained Street Angels or trustees.

Newark Group

The 2020 Parish Quiz Night organised by the Newark Group was an early casualty of Covid. Planned for 14 March it was cancelled at the very last minute as the full implications of Covid began to be realised. However, due to the generosity of so many who had booked tickets but declined any refund, as well as that of our caterer, Margaret Wingham, who considerably reduced her charges, the event managed to generate a surplus such that the Newark Group was able to send £500 to each of our church charities, Woking Besom, CMS Devonport and Amaha We Uganda.

[Reports & Accounts 2020 ]

Thereafter our usual programme of dinners with speakers had to be cancelled for the remainder of the year. However, we restarted in 2021 with a programme of talks given via Zoom which have typically attracted around 50 members.

Parish Magazine

After the April 2020 edition of the Parish Magazine it was decided to cease printing the Magazine due to restrictions on distribution due to lockdown. Instead, articles on a variety of themes appeared on the parish website under the heading of ‘Reflections on………..’ and this policy continued until September when the Magazine was once again printed. To let the wider community know the Magazine was back, the September edition was distributed free of charge to every home in the parish. Thereafter the printed Magazine appeared each month.

Sue Haysom kindly took over responsibility for designing the front cover of the Magazine from January 2020 following many years of service from Jo Clayton.

Shepherds Market

As restrictions from COVID-19 were high, we moved to an online model with incredible results. The banana campaign, Eldon’s sponsored bikeride, online stalls, and video input were put onto our website and many, many people took part. Plant sales, jam, jigsaws, paintings, handyman and many amazing initiatives took place and donations were collected to the amount of £17,101.

Website/Facebook/Youtube

As lockdown came, Dave Haysom, Joe Gervasio and team enabled us to have our own parish Youtube channel and provided online services and videos for the parish. It is proving to be a great way to get our presence out into the local community and we will be continuing this arena of outreach.

Women's Forum

Unfortunately Women's Forum will be one of the last groups to start up again. We need to feel safe enough to socialise with each other, the difficulties of hearing when wearing masks is a problem when you have to socially distance as well. Throughout 2020 we have kept in touch and delivered birthday cards as well as flowers on big birthdays. Most of the Group have had meals, afternoon teas, biscuits, cards and Mothering Sunday flowers, which were targeted at those living alone or with no close family. This was part of the church family reaching out to the community.

Sunday Lunches

These too had to stop during lockdown and remain closed. Many regulars received the Greek Feast of Holiday at Home and subsequently the Down Memory Lane Tea, Festive Tea and Valentine’s Day Biscuit deliveries.

Here is a quote from one person involved in the Festive Tea delivery:

“I was involved in the Festive Tea delivery which was another wonderful example of outreach in action. It was a real team effort, involving 20 bakers, a small group of packers on

[Reports & Accounts 2020 ]

the day, and 25 delivery volunteers. 72 individual teas were bagged up and 58 deliveries made.”

Once restrictions are lifted to allow larger indoor gatherings, we can begin to plan Sunday Lunches once again.

Coffee Shop

With the announcement of lockdown and guidance from the Church of England, our Coffee Shop clearly needed to close. Many of our volunteers are needing to be careful, and some shielding. As things are changing Grace has been thinking about possible ways to open in a small way if it is desired. We will be looking into the various regulations and guidelines in case this is something we feel could happen in the coming months.

Grace is also selling jams (online payment and home deliveries of jams).

Fareshare

Grace has continued to collect FARESHARE produce and distribute to local charities and familes in need.

Schools work

At the beginning of lockdown, Anita Reynell helped organise toys and gifts for those children in need from school. We recently gave gifts to the teaching staff with Valentine’s biscuits and in 2020 chocolates and handcreams were delivered also.

Work with Eikon in Fullbrook was put on hold. Huge thanks to the team who were working in there before lockdown and may get in to do a couple of lunch clubs outside before the end of the year. Our Eikon volunteers are finishing in December after many years of service.

We provided video assemblies to Pyrford Primary School throughout lockdown and continue to do so. These have been watched at school but also at home amongst families who would never get to Sunday School.

Helping Others

Helping Others saw new recipients and new drivers. They worked hard to help people be able to get shop deliveries to home and have prescriptions delivered online.

Holiday at Home 2020

It became clear that we were not going to be able to deliver our usual two day event at the church but with the some more flexiblity for people to meet we decided to offer a Greek lunch to Holiday at Home regulars. Our menu included moussaka, mini-roasted potatoes, Greek salad and Portokalopita (orange syrup cake) with custard and Baklava. With some funding help from the Co-op, Home Instead and Lodge Brothers we were able to provide the lunch with no cost to our guests. Packaging and delivery of hot food in a timely manner proved a challenge but gave us some experience for later ventures in the year including the Down Memory Lane and Festive Teas. We very much hope we may be able to run a Holiday at Home 2021. There is a wonderful short clip about the event put together by Suzanne from photos taken during the cooking by Jo Attrill and Rosie Tuckwell.

Holiday Clubs

Children’s holiday club videos were created but no other input possible. (In 2021 we have planned community events and resources for children this Easter in place of the Holiday Club.)

Evangelism Team

A number of our team took part in training in the “culture of invitation”. Small groups led under Michael Harvey, participants are mentored in inviting others to explore faith through whatever activities or online provision we are offering. We are hoping to have these small mentor groups (3 x 40 minute sessions) run with people from every area of church life. A chance to grow in confidence in our own faith and experience God at work.

Flower Show

The online flower show was supported by a couple of our church members, and they provided a fantastic template of how things might move online.

Outside Hirers

We must mention how Sarah Fife, Linda and James, have worked tirelessly to enable community users back into our premises. Sarah has read reams of guidance, risk assessments, purchases of PPE and cleaning equipment. Liaison with local businesses who were in desperate need of venue. We are very pleased to be in a position where a number of hirers are regularly using the halls with Covid 19 restrictions in place.

Other things to celebrate

We hosted a West End meets Animation concert on 24[th] October (sold out in 3 days) for families.

We ran a Light Fantastic event for families on 31[st] October in the church Covid secure.

We were delighted to have had video contributions from the Uniformed Groups for our Harvest Family Service, usually a parade and at Christmas.

BUILDING COMMITTEE

by Tony Hill, Chairman of the Building Committee

Due to the effects of Covid work to church buildings has necessarily been restricted. Fortunately, due to the currency of the work carried out in previous years, no major works were outstanding during the year.

However, due to the limited life span of the breathable paint system used on the main windows at The Church of The Good Shepherd, it was necessary to repaint the mullions and cills to avoid expensive replacement works in the future.

The committee has recently been asked by the Friends of St. Nicholas’ and Wisley to assist in trying to increase the availability of parking at St. Nicholas’ Church where, when there are large congregations such as at weddings and some funerals, parking overspill onto Church Hill causes traffic problems for other road users on a part of the road where visibility can easily be reduced and access to parked vehicles is precarious. This project is ongoing.

OUTREACH SUPPORT

BY ROBERT HEWITT

There were no changes in the formula for Outreach support during the year. Accordingly, the parish Outreach support and Shepherds Market Income is split as follows:

Parish donations share of 10% (after support for the Pyrford Primary School has been allowed for), equally between the 3 causes and our own Local Community Fund (25% each). Shepherds Market – split three ways between Amaha We Uganda, Woking Besom and CMS.

In addition to these sums, each of the charities was able to run its own fund-raising events but it was not always the case that the parish would have acted as banker and accordingly such activities are not included.

Reports on each of our supported causes is included elsewhere in this Report and Accounts. Special mention should be made of all those involved in the very successful virtual Shepherds Market which raised such a large sum for which are our charities are very

thankful and appreciative.

Impact of Covid:

As a result of the various Covid lockdowns and restrictions, we decided that the review of our supported charities should be delayed until 2021 when the position on needs would hopefully be clearer.

The Charity Review Group met 3 times during 2020 to review the position generally, receive reports from each charity and to make recommendations for the Christmas collections.

LOCAL COMMUNITY FUND (LCF)

The LCF was launched in 2012 and application forms and further details can be found on the parish website.

Grants made during 2020 totalled £4,050 (2019 - £14,608) comprising:-

St Michael’s Sheerwater - £1,000 (2019 -£500)

Woking Street Angels - £500 (2019 -£2,000)

Intergenerational Music - £2,000

Pyrford Cricket Club £500

Pyrford Guide and Scout Parents Association - £50

We approved in 2019 a sum of £2,000 to Waterways Chaplaincy group but this has not yet been claimed.

FINANCE REVIEW

BY GUY MEAKIN, HON. TREASURER PCC

Basis of Accounts

The Parochial Church Council approved the Annual Accounts for 1 January to 31 December 2020 at its meeting on 22 March 2021. The Budget for 2021 was approved at the same time.

Financial Arrangements

The management and administration of the parish finances are undertaken by the Treasury team, which comprises Guy Meakin (Hon. Treasurer) and Annette Oborne (Bookkeeper and Gift Aid Administrator). John Cracknell remains the Independent Examiner.

Banking is provided by HSBC, Woking Branch. Medium term deposits are held in the Church of England Central Board of Finance Deposit Account, which is managed by CCLA Investment Management Ltd; this company also manages the funds in which the parish’s long term deposits and reserves are invested.

2020 Summary

The Accounts show that the parish had an overall surplus of £74,211. This sum includes a donation of £50,000 in December 2020, which the parish has usually received after the New Year, and an unrealised gain in the market value of investments of £22,840. A comparison with 2019 is not simple, because of the transfers of monies from Restricted Funds to pay for certain items of expenditure.

The results for the year can be summarised as follows:

Unrestricted Restricted Total 2020 2019
Funds Funds
Incoming resources £471,922 £13,226 £485,148 £473,474
Resources expended £422,270 £11,507 £433,777 £465,296
Operating surplus £42,639 £8,732 £51,371 £8,178
Surplus £48,806 £25,405 £74,211 £61,094

Expenditure

Parish Share. Our Parish Share amounted to £142,071 (2019 £142,056).

Salaries for Youth Ministers. Youth Ministry salaries totalled £60,734 (2019 £60,070).

Parish Office Salaries and Honoraria. Parish Office salaries and honoraria totalled £63,343 (2019 £58,071).

Workplace Pensions. The Workplace Pensions began in 2015 for the parish and six employees continued throughout 2020. Parish contributions were £3,342 (2019 £2,680): for Youth Ministers £1,708, for Parish Office staff £1,634.

During the autumn of 2020, members of the Standing & Finance Committee considered whether salaries of employees should be increased for 2021. It was decided that no increase was justified.

Running Costs. Running costs totalled £77,600 (2019 £79,041). This was comprised of:

In running costs, the following are significant:

Investments

Investments with CCLA Investment Management Ltd are divided between two types of fund: Investment Fund (96%) and Fixed Interest Fund (4%). 11.1% of the holding in the Investment Fund is the Building Reserve fund. In addition, the parish has a small holding of Barclays shares.

The market value of investments at 31 December 2020 was £375,142 (2019 £352,302). In the Parish Accounts for 2020, an unrealised gain of £22,840 (2019 £52,916) is shown in the Statement of Financial Activities and at Note 17.1.

Reserves

Diocesan policy is that General Reserves include 2 months’ essential expenditure. A minimalist interpretation, that essential expenditure means paying salaries, running the Parish Office and running the churches and the Old School Room, implies a minimum in the General Reserve of £30,620. A maximalist interpretation, inclusion of 2 months of Parish Share, would bring this figure up to £54,300. At the end of 2020, the Parish General Reserve amounted to £157,385.

The PCC has adopted the following policy on reserves:

Recurrent annual costs should, wherever possible, be met from current income.

During 2014, it was agreed that a Building Reserve of £25,000 should be created to meet significant maintenance costs that arise from time to time. This reserve was created during 2015 and was used for the first time in 2020 to pay for new lighting in the Good Shepherd Hall. At the end of 2020, its value was £40,275.

Note 2
Accounting policies
This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity.
2.2 INCOME
Recognition of income These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
•the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
•it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
•the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Offsetting There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses,
unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
Grants and donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income
recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP). In the case of
performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that
the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the
grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS
102 SORP).
Tax reclaims on
donations and gifts		 Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from
the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part
of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation
unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
Contractual income
and performance
related grants		 This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related
goods or services or met the performance related conditions.
Donated goods Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could
be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. The cost of any stock of goods
donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those
gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the
reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an
expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated goods for
resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected
proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the
balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from
other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as
'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the
charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as
incoming resources when receivable. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are
included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable.
Donated services and
facilities		 Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the
value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured
reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are
recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense
under the appropriate heading in the SOFA.
Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
Volunteer help The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is
described in the trustees’annual report.
Income from interest,
royalties and dividends		 This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount
receivable can be measured reliably.
Income from
membership
subscriptions		 The charity receives no income from membership subscriptions.
Settlement of
insurance claims		 Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income
recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP) and are included as
an item of other income in the SoFA.
Investment gains and
losses		 This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of
investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market
value at the end of the year.

2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES
Liability recognition This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of
investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market
value at the end of the year.
Governance and
support costs		 There are no governance costs. Support costs include central functions and
have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use
of resources, eg per capita, staff costs by the time spent.
Grants with
performance
conditions		 The charity makes no grants with performance conditions.
Grants payable
without performance
conditions		 Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor
charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding
obligation must be recognised.
Redundancy cost The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.
Deferred income No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.
Creditors The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any
trade discounts
Provisions for liabilities A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently
measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at
the reporting date
Basic financial
instruments		 The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per
paragraph 10.7 FRS 102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per
paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS 102 SORP.
2.4 ASSETS
Tangible fixed assets
for use by charity		 These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at
least £500. They are valued at cost. The depreciation rates and methods used
are disclosed in Note 14. Expenditure on what is considered routine building
maintenance and refurbishment is written off as incurred.
Intangible fixed assets The charity has no intangible fixed assets.
Heritage assets The charity has no heritage assets.
Investments Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments
are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value)
at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless
fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less
impairment.
Stocks and work in
progress		 These are valued at the lower of cost or market value.
Debtors Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial
recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced
by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other
consideration expected to be received.
Current asset
investments		 The charity has no current asset investments.

The remainder from the Smee Legacy, supplemented in 2016 by a donation for the support of the Youth b Ministry.

c Donations received to support the work of Pastoral Assistants.

d The Trustees of the old Pyrford School transferred their interest in the Old School Room, Pyrford to the PCC on 31st October 1994.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT

to the Parochial Church Council of Wisley with Pyrford

I report on the Accounts for the year ended 31st December 2020 which are set out on pages 29 to 42.

Respective responsibilities of the Parochial Church Council and the Independent Examiner The Parochial Church Council considers that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to

Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission.

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Parochial Church Council and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the Management Committee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

I have however examined on a test basis evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the accounts. I have also undertaken an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the Management Committee in the preparation of the accounts, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Parochial Church Council’s circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed. I have planned and performed my examination so as to obtain all the information and explanations which I considered necessary in order to provide me with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the accounts are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error.

Independent Examiner's Statement

In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention

  1. which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with s.130 of the 2011 Act; or

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records have not been met; or

  4. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
