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 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 393 names on our Electoral Roll at the last Annual Meeting held via Zoom in April 2021 of whom 154 lived outside the parish.
Our usual average Sunday service attendance was again lower as we were locked down until Easter. The good news is attendance is starting to go up and our online services continue to be popular. There were on average 150 households watching the Sunday morning service every week on our YouTube channel.
During the year there were 4 weddings, 24 funerals (of which 16 had formal services in the parish) 20 services of interment of ashes and 8 baptisms.

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT FOR 2021
BY THE RECTOR, THE REVEREND CANON NICHOLAS AIKEN, B.A., M.A.
For the first three months of 2021 we were of course faced with lockdown. We were so grateful to have the team who were able to broadcast Sunday worship online which enabled us to maintain our connection with everybody in the congregation. I don’t know what we would have done without the team’s expertise, and the huge amount of time and effort they kindly gave to make this possible. Other meetings, as we all experienced, were on Zoom, or some other technical permeation that is available with modern technology.
Funerals were obviously very difficult because only 15 people were able to be present. There was no singing, and often it made a sad occasion saying goodbye to someone who had died, even more difficult.
Emerging out of lockdown, we decided that we needed to tackle the issue of producing a new Parish Vision. The Ministry Team had an Away Day in July to discuss and plan what we should do. The PCC discussed the draft that had been produced, and we were then able to deliver to the congregation the Vision document which we have now launched. It will carry us through the coming years.
One of the highlights last summer was Diane Davidson’s ordination at the Cathedral. This of course was the climax of her training which had taken place in recent years. We are thrilled and delighted to have her on board as a fully-fledged ordained member of the team.
We were also so thrilled to see Harry Lamaison, who of course comes from the parish and was our Youth Worker, also being ordained at the Cathedral. He is now serving as a Curate, in charge of St. Barnabus in Epsom. So, it was a very special weekend and the fulfilment of many years of hard work and dedication.
We are also very grateful to the huge amount of work our Pastoral Assistants did behind the scenes. They made contact, visited, and cared for those who were in need. For that we are extremely thankful.
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 2021 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.

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 CHRIS NEWELL
During the past year, the Deanery Synod has met on three occasions, under the chairmanship of Rev Jonathan Thomas, Area Dean. Two meetings (June 2021 and February 2022) were held via Zoom; and one (October 2021) was held in person, at St Mary of Bethany, Woking.
The June meeting focussed on presentations from four churches, on:
-
The benefits of St Paul’s as a vaccination centre (St Paul’s, Woking)
-
Church without walls and bridging the digital divide (St Mary of Bethany)
-
New family services added during lockdown (St Peter’s, Woking)
-
Partnership with Foodwise during lockdown (St Andrew’s, Goldsworth Park)
In the business meeting, recommendations were made for improved communications between Deanery Synod and PCCs; Archbishop Justin’s Mission in September 2021; and the Living In Love and Faith course to be offered by Rev Gillaine Holland.
The October meeting centred on a presentation by Alison Moulden, Diocesan Environmental Officer, on “Net Zero and Eco Church”. There was a subsequent discussion of work being done by churches towards Eco Church awards. Wisley with Pyrford is involved in this work.
The meeting in February 2022 welcomed as its principal guest Jane Whittington, Schools Officer Christian Distinctiveness within the Diocese: “Engaging with Schools as we come out of the pandemic”. A wide-ranging presentation was followed by a Q and A session and then a group discussion, which ranged over educational issues, as well as the impact that the pandemic had had on physical and mental health, both at school and in home and social settings. The session ended with a substantial set of detailed recommendations for developing effective partnerships between parishes and schools.
This was Jonathan Thomas’ last Synod as chair, as he stepped down from the role of Area Dean at the end of February. Synod thanked him for his service.
During the autumn, Deanery Synod members voted in the elections for both clergy and laity to the General Synod. There were no surprises.

2. Have dignity and reverence as well as vibrancy in our services, with increased use of silence where appropriate.
-
By using the question “Where have you seen God working in your life lately?” this has led to thoughtful discussions and prayer in services
-
Sometimes following the sermon at CGS the musicians have played music quietly before the congregation starts singing to allow time for thoughtful deliberation
-
Many of those leading intercessions at all 3 churches allow space for silent prayer
-
The 7-evening service continues to have a period of quiet reflection
-
Due to the service at CGS being live streamed there has perhaps been a desire to have more activity and less times of quiet, which may appeal more to an online audience
3. Use modern technology as an aid to individual and corporate prayer and worship.
-
The sound and Audio-Visual team are a crucial part of our services at CGS and we are so grateful for their expertise. They have recruited some new people to join them
-
Sermons at CGS often include some AV content
-
There is a need for further people to be trained up to join the sound and AV team. A lack of confidence in technical matters may be behind this as well as fewer people coming to services
4. Constantly evaluate the worship style and content at all 3 of our churches.
-
At CGS we have introduced an “interview slot” where someone can talk about how their faith impacts their life outside of “church” and also ask THE question“Where have you seen God working in your life lately?” This is following the Everyday faith initiative
-
Wisley and St Nicholas’ have also been approached to include ‘THE question’ in their services and they are happy for it to be given time for personal reflection in the intercessions
-
Ministry team discusses all services at Monday staff meeting and suggest changes where necessary
-
Prayer cards as an A5 card have been reintroduced since January
-
Individual prayer is now being offered after Sunday morning services at CGS
-
There were parish prayers for the situation in Ukraine following the invasion

PASTORAL CARE NETWORK
BY THE REVEREND MARK POTTER
This past year the pastoral network, as with many networks, has been given greater freedom to do, serve and care for those individuals that God has called us to. With lockdowns now a thing of the past (we hope), a level of normality has been reached and with that the pastoral network has been enabled to operate with a slightly greater amount of ease.
Pastoral Assistants
Despite the added freedom the past 12 months has given, there have still been many people in need and isolated. Pastoral Assistants have continued to shop and deliver items to those unable to do so themselves. There have also been many people bereaved and in need of support which would often not be there, but for our faithful Pastoral Assistants contacting and visiting individuals. Using email and WhatsApp the PAs, ably coordinated by Janet Jarret, have regularly been the first to communicate and react when need arose.
Through many different channels, PAs have supported many in our church community and made links with church life for those who previously would have had none. I think of one particular bereaved individual who has been brought into Down Memory Lane and Sunday Lunches and despite being bereaved, through the Pastoral Assistants’ work, has grown in confidence and found a home in church events. This is a reminder of the nature of church, it should be an inward and outward looking people seeking to bless and care for those inside and outside the church body, as theologian David Bosch put it, seeing an outsider as a potential insider. Wonderfully, this is exactly what the Pastoral Assistants do, and over the last year they have blessed so many with being imitators and servants of Jesus.
Sunday Lunches
Sunday lunches have been a fantastic success, as they always were in pre-covid times. They returned to serving last September and have often been full or even oversubscribed with a waiting list. The Christmas Sunday lunch was a wonderful event with over 70 people in attendance and some live music from Anita, Ali and Ken. A wonderful time was enjoyed by all, and the food was superb and plentiful.
Christmas Plants
44 plants were given out last Christmas. These were very well received, and many cards of thanks and appreciation were sent to the PAs in response to them.
Holiday at Home
The Holiday at Home was run with huge success back in August. It was their best attended event with nearly 40 people in attendance. Claire Nix coordinated the event which was Greek themed. This included a mandolin player and a Greek myth storyteller. Rosie Tuckwell and Jo Attrill cooked a wonderful array of Greek food which was much appreciated by those attending.

Next Steps
After being a little quiet over the time of numerous lockdowns, Next Steps has started up again with a coffee afternoon on March 6th. Encouragingly this had 12 attendees and is clearly a hugely worthwhile provision for those bereaved in our community.
Lent Lunches
At the start of March, we had our first Sunday Bring & Share Lent lunch. 19 came, which allowed for some good conversations and building fellowship between those from our 3 churches. It underlined the importance of being gathered church and sharing together, both in terms of a meal and our own journeys and experiences of life.
Youthwork
EXP is now regularly meeting in person and being led well by Anthony and a great team of leaders. Youth ministry since lockdowns has been an enormous challenge on a national level, with very few young people returning to discipleship worship groups. Wisley with Pyrford is no different with only 10-15 young people in attendance. However, there is a loyal core of attendees who are being pastorally cared for and discipled in that group.
The Friday Youth Club has started running again with a vast number of children and young people coming, often hitting around 100 attendees. This is such a valuable provision for the community and a great way to maintain contact and familiarity with church. There are so many amazing staff and volunteers to thank. It is a big undertaking each Friday which is brilliantly run by Suzanne and Anthony whose team of dedicated volunteers makes it possible.
The lad’s group, Breakthrough, led by Anthony was run on a Thursday with a group of supporting dads; however, to start to increase numbers, this is now a Tuesday evening event which has seen more attending. Anthony has done many different activities with the boys, from a shooting range evening to cooking and fire building.
Families’ and Children’s Work
Suzanne is now running Tots Praise in person again after quite a long time being online. It is an incredible event every Tuesday morning. Mums and some dads come with babies and toddlers to gather for worship and child friendly bible readings. It is a time for people to share with each other and have serious faith input and fellowship together. At the moment, the numbers are as high as 85, this is wonderful and underlines a bit of a trend that, nonSunday church events are becoming extremely well attended.
Explore – This is a primary school age focused worship event every Monday. After a long time off, Charlotte Potter took this on to prep resources and lead it. It started up in the last few weeks of the summer term (July 21) and then was run all the way until Christmas. Charlotte then had to stop, so Suzanne took up the leading of it, as she had done for many years previously, with Mark also leading aspects of it. We are now experiencing numbers of 30 plus which is remarkable, parents and children alike enjoy being in that space, regardless of their own faith.

Funerals
As happened last year, Nick, and I have had a regular stream of funerals, particularly between April and December. It remains a privilege to serve God in this way and be there for families at an acutely difficult time of need. We have dealt with some very sad occasions and tragic deaths in the last year. Even in the challenge of it all, it is important to remember how this connects people with our church and is an opportunity to share resurrection hope with people at a time where hope is not always readily seen.
Helping Others
Tina and the Helping Others Team have done another brilliant job over the 12 months. It continues to flourish and serve the community brilliantly. Many have benefited from shopping and medication being delivered (I was particularly grateful last October for this!). Many have been very grateful for lifts to and from hospital appointments. It is worth mentioning that the team would be helped by more drivers. This was an issue last year and remains one still. But overall, Helping Others is going very well.
Coffee Shop
In September the running of our Friday Coffee Shop recommenced. This included a new parents’ and children’s area at the back of the church which has made a great difference to the Coffee Shop as it allows children to have a little more freedom and is a safer space for them to run around without bumping into chairs and tables.
The team have worked meticulously to restart this Friday morning favourite, and they provide a very welcoming environment and accessible space for people to have great food and companionship.
On 12[th] March Rosie Tuckwell stepped down after many years’ service. Nick and others paid tribute to her hard work and devotion. A lovely cake was served, ‘Thank you gifts’ given accompanied with much deserved applause.
Meal Makers
As many of us are aware, Janet Sutherland felt God was prompting her to bless families, particularly of home-schooling children with a prepared, oven-ready meal. However, this has become a meal making service for anyone who would benefit and be blessed by a meal. It is an amazing ministry which is blessing so many individuals and families. Notably, of the 22 meal makers, there are a good number who have joined as a result of receiving meals themselves.
Date Night Chocolate
Last year it was apparent that family and marriage relationships may have been strained as a result of lockdowns etc. So, linked to the theme of blessing families, Diane Davidson started another project to bless married couples to show how cherished marriage is to God. Date night chocolates and question cards were sent out to married couples. The question cards were a fun way to encourage couples to spend much-needed time with each other with a fresh focus away from the humdrum of everyday life. These were appreciated by the many couples that received them.

And finally…
One of the things that struck me about the pastoral work that we have been doing in the past year is the beauty of responding to need, something that the PAs and many others have been doing without giving it a second thought. But these acts of showing the practical love of Jesus done in such humility are very much noticed.
When we were praying about the parish vision last July the Lord drew us to the words of Jesus in Matthew 5 which is now on the Pastoral section of our Parish Vision,
‘You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. [15] Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. [16] In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
As we seek to bless with visits, meals, events, and safe spaces, we let our light shine before others and are instruments of drawing others to the person of Jesus.
Prayer points: here are some prayer points and aims for the next year (many are the same as last time).
We would love to have more men involved particularly in PA roles.
To develop our pastoral awareness as a whole church family, that we might consider how to practise being a good neighbour.
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.
That through God using the work of all of these pastoral avenues, people will be drawn to unrelenting love of God and the person of Jesus Christ.
To finish, I must say a huge thank you to those who serve so faithfully in this pastoral network overflowing with commitment and love for others. This is simply amazing!
I recently read the Message Interpretation of Romans 12 which seems such an apt section of scripture when we are thinking how we serve in love.
9-10 Love from the centre of who you are; don’t fake it. Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear life to good. Be good friends who love deeply; practise playing second fiddle.
11-13 Don’t burn out; keep yourselves fuelled and aflame. Be alert servants of the Master, cheerfully expectant. Don’t quit in hard times; pray all the harder. Help needy Christians; be inventive in hospitality.
Reports & Accounts 2021

14-16 Bless your enemies; no cursing under your breath. Laugh with your happy friends when they’re happy; share tears when they’re down. Get along with each other; don’t be stuck-up. Make friends with nobodies; don’t be the great somebody.
20-21 Our Scriptures tell us that if you see your enemy hungry, go buy that person lunch, or if he’s thirsty, get him a drink. Your generosity will surprise him with goodness. Don’t let evil get the best of you; get the best of evil by doing good.

CHURCHYARD AND GARDENS
BY JIMMIE WALKER
Life in the pandemic has meant many more people have been walking locally for exercise and enjoying the public footpaths through our churchyards, so the Gardening Angels team have done their best to keep them looking as cared for as possible. Several years ago, we transplanted some snowdrops from behind St. Nicholas’ to the front entrance and also over the road to the new churchyard. All have flourished, the first flowers appearing in January and producing a good show in February. March brings the daffodils and masses of violets in the new churchyard and primroses spreading further each year round St
Nicholas’. Sometimes it is even warm enough to sit on a seat and enjoy the sun, and if we look upwards instead of at the ground, there may be a buzzard or red kite soaring overhead. The large bench near St Nicholas’ porch was old and beyond further repair, but has been replaced in memory of Anne Palmer, through the kindness of her family. Anne, a much-loved primary school teacher, head and inspector locally was an active member of the parish for many years.
The steep bank down to the road on the south side of St Nicholas’ is glebe land, which means it belongs to the Diocese, not the parish. For eight years I had been asking for several dead and dangerous trees to be dealt with before they fell across the road, until eventually someone took notice. As the result of a professional inspection and despite several hitches along the way, tree surgery essential for road safety was carried out on seventeen trees in October. Unfortunately, the complexity of the work meant the road had to be closed for four days. Drone controlled specialist equipment and large trucks were involved and had to be parked on the road below. Some trees had to be felled across the road. The remaining trees, large stumps, roots and some felled timber left on the bank perform a vital function in protecting it from erosion, as the wind and rain come from that direction and the frequency of severe storms is increasing with climate change. The Diocese was very grateful to the Friends of Wisley and St Nicholas’ for covering the cost of the road closure as the cost of the whole exercise was high.
Over in the new churchyard, we have put in a line of short posts to the right of the path going up to the style, to clarify the boundary between the dedicated second half of the Garden of Remembrance and the area used for burials. We have also made an informal wood chip path at the lower end, for access to the area with the most recent graves. Sadly this is no use for wheelchair users, so it is best to cross from the car park on the flat ground at the top and come down the paved path.
At Wisley, Andrew Elliott quietly controls the boundary hedges and looks after the Garden of Remembrance, but the soil is very sandy, so the rosemary hedge is not looking good and we are planning to rejuvenate it shortly.
Throughout the year our regular contractors have looked after the grass and hedges, Ernie Elliott, though theoretically retired, is always around to keep us up to scratch, reminding us of things that need attention and the Gardening Angels team have done a huge amount of

weeding, sweeping, pruning, digging up nettles, brambles and ivy and general tidying in all three churchyards, the car parks and the gardens at the Church of the Good Shepherd. Two of our strongest angels have returned to work after making a vital contribution and we are sad that one even moved away, but this does mean that we have VACANCIES! If you can’t think what to do on a Monday morning, we would be delighted to welcome you for free outdoor exercise; no-one is expected to commit to working every Monday!

DISCIPLESHIP NETWORK
BY THE REVEREND DIANE DAVIDSON
Summary
The idea that our parish would be living in a post pandemic culture from summer 2021 onwards has been partially true but the Omicron variant kept physical reengagement slow and partial. Congregations such as Wisley, St Nicholas’, Tots Praise and Explore recovered quickly but others such as 8am, 10am CoGS, EXP and Down Memory Lane and Youth groups and Sunday school have taken longer to return. Some homegroups returned to physical meetings whilst some have remained on Zoom or become friendship groups rather than study groups. However teaching material has continued to stimulate learning and the focus on Everyday Faith is changing attitudes. Overall our new vision document sums up where we are looking to head in the future.
Homegroups
Several of the groups participated in the Living in Love and Faith discussion material and those who did found it interesting. Whilst it may not have altered many people’s underlying views, it did allow for open discussion on a divisive topic which was positive for our aim of growing in unity. Despite several of the leaders finding the last year tough, the groups have continued to provide pastoral support, learning and opportunities to grow in leading sessions. They also allow rapid communication with a significant portion of the church family.
Women’s and Men’s Ministry
The teams who run our gender focussed ministries continue to do a wonderful job providing teaching, fellowship and food. The sessions remain popular and we are also seeing them used as invitation points for men and women on the fringe. The members are pleased to be meeting back in person once again. We have run a couple of Parenting for Faith courses and hope that this will encourage parents’ faith once more.
Out of Parish Meetings
Spring Harvest has lost momentum among our congregations due to the pandemic and it remains to be seen whether interest recovers next year. Our Parish Weekend has also been postponed again but we remain hopeful that 2022 will be the year it goes ahead. Diocesan courses are being opened up more widely to offer more in-depth teaching for anyone interested. These could be better publicised going forward.
Everyday Faith
Our focus on Everyday Faith is gaining ground with more people participating in our CoGS sharing slot and all congregations being encouraged to reflect on ‘The Question’ – ‘What have you seen God doing in your life lately’? Although there remains discomfort about sharing in some quarters, our sermons and homegroup material continue to encourage a 24/7 view of intentional discipleship and a vocation for all. People of all ages have shared something of their faith from the front including children. Enabling the children to lead us

in prayer at the 10am COGS services has been a great way to encourage their discipleship and that of the church as a whole.
We have moved to a weekly Tuesday prayer meeting for children, youth and families as we recognise the huge challenge of discipleship for families, the majority of whom no longer attend church on Sundays or see that as an essential part of life.
Explore
On a Monday after school has seen 6-10 different families come together weekly to worship and learn. We are constantly pondering how in the week discipleship for families might be supported.
Holiday Clubs/Open the Book/Weekend Away for children in year 5 and 6 at school/Youth Club.
One way to encourage the discipleship of our children is through Holiday Club input, our Open the Book assemblies every Friday which include prayers written and led by different pupils each week. We are also running 22[nd] -24[th] April this year a weekend away called Deeper with God with Christ Church Woking and Bisley and West End. We hope to enable the children to encounter Jesus and that this may propel discipleship for this age group forward.
Our Youth Club for children 8 to 11 year olds has a video and talk around Christianity and the input of a manned prayer room has been well received as we look to enable children’s faith to be encouraged.
Lent
The initial response to our Lent book and lunches has been positive. We hope it will develop people’s understanding of what it means to be part of our church family and to encourage the presence and participation of all.
Environmental issues: The diocese has asked all parishes to review their carbon footprints and there is a gentle movement towards greater awareness of our environmental responsibilities as a Christian organisation.
Discipleship Goals for 2022-2025
Below are our goals with very brief notes about our progress.
Together we will:
-
Wrestle with being more intentional about our commitment to follow Jesus everyday – being addressed by our everyday faith focus and our small group meetings.
-
Improve our ability to hear from God in our lives – Lectio Divina, monthly discipleship listening prayers and parenting for faith courses are giving opportunities to grow in this area. Training in prophecy could be offered. In Sunday School and at Explore we are practising listening to God for each other, sharing pictures or words as they arise.

-
Increase our confidence in answering questions about our faith and ethical issues – in addition to our sermons and Bible studies, we could use a plan to implement this more widely.
-
Seek to serve our community and promote justice and peace – in addition to our existing community participation, we are hoping to welcome refugees from Ukraine as a church and to provide more widespread support for St Michael’s and the community in Sheerwater. We are going to be supporting the setup of a toddler group/tots praise at St Michael’s in this next summer term. Charles is now providing some support for Ripley parish as Caroline is for Byfleet. We could also do more with Besom.
Youth Ministry
Covid has hit all our groups hard. Currently our focus is not on the many but on the few. Building discipleship is a journey not a race and the reality is that we are building new foundations. Luke 16:10 & Matthew 7:25.
EXP - Is our faith-based youth group meeting on Wednesday evenings. We are running two styles: a creative group and a Bible study group. Both groups look at Biblical passages with the same theme. The creative session aims to bring the Bible alive in a creative and relatable way. The Bible study is very much more looking at a passage and really digging into it and its surrounding context. Both styles are gratefully received. However balancing schoolwork, weekend jobs and growing discipleship can be a challenge, particularly for our older youth. In harmony with Everyday Faith, we focus on what their faith looks like on a daily basis and how to live that out.
Festivals - Dreaming the impossible (DTI), similar to Soul Survivor, is a great opportunity in the summer for the youth to worship and encounter God in a way which they cannot often do. Weekends away at the Supernatural Youth Conference in March and October offer further chances for our youth to worship with other young people and get that spiritual top up throughout the year.
Service - We would love to do more giving and work with Besom, but Covid has obviously made that difficult and finding enough youth who are free on the weekends due to other commitments is also challenging.
BreakThrough (lads' group) - Although this is not designed to be a Christian based group, God is at the heart of it. Two of the boys came away to the Supernatural Youth Conference a couple of weeks ago and loved it. We are using the resource Man-made with 6 core sessions on purpose, humility, courage, respect, control, and responsibility. The model of manhood has Jesus as the focal point, being the ultimate man.
The Upper Room (Friday youth) - Again not a Christian based youth group. This is a place for young people to come and be, which allows the leaders to model Christian values and morals.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT NETWORK
BY SUZANNE LEES-SMITH
Parish Magazine
Eldon is now sole editor, though we may be asking for a couple of guest editors to bring their network of contacts and passions into this year’s magazines. The Lord has definitely guided the themes and the main challenge is receiving articles each month. Do pass the word and encourage people to contribute if they can.
Newark Group
They managed to have 60 people at their last event, live and continue to work out what to do each month responding to any restrictions. It is clear that people are still keen to meet.
Website/Facebook/Youtube
These continue to be used to share ministry and activities of the church with many people.
Women's Forum
Numbers have fallen due to moving home, illness and death but they have meetings face to face October to December. For those attending it is very much appreciated and a lifeline. Barbara is happy to continue and still looking for a treasurer and committee members. At present they have their own bank account.
Sunday Lunches
The Sunday Lunches resumed in September 2021 after a gap of 18 months thanks to Covid restrictions. They proved popular from the word go, with guests so happy to be socialising once again. We did keep the numbers fairly low to begin with and were/still are careful to adhere to the safety guidelines. Hopefully this year will see the normal resumption of Lunches taking place each month, with the exception of April (Easter), August (Holiday at Home) and December.
We have some new cooks/organisers as well as more helpers on the Team. We also tend to see new guests each time, which is great. The grapevine is working, as regulars spread the word and invite new people to come along! This really is what we hoped would happen – outreach in action.
We benefit from the church’s connection with FoodShare by using foodstuffs as appropriate in our menus. Voluntary donations usually average between £300 - £350 each time, which all go to help church funds.
Coffee Shop
Coffee Shop has returned after 18 months and we eased back paying attention to numerous regulations and the availability of volunteers, many of whom were now unavailable. They are working with one shift and wonderful managers and volunteers.
An extension of tables and play area for children into the back of the Good Shepherd church has been really successful and appreciated.

There is still lots to do in advertising our presence to the wider community but it has been great to see numbers increasing and people returning.
Fareshare
Grace has continued to collect FARESHARE produce and distribute to local charities and families in need.
Schools work
Anthony is working at Fullbrook on a Tuesday offering one to one mentoring. Some of his mentees have then benefitted from coming along to the youth club and lads group. He and a couple of others offered hot chocolate and pastries to those on the way to school on three occasions and although no new people came, connections were made with current contacts as well as new ones.
We are continuing to provide a Friday video assembly at present every Friday at Pyrford Primary School, greatly appreciated by staff and students.
Caroline Oldroyd is also leading a team in Byfleet who are offering a monthly assembly to both St Mary’s and Byfleet Primary which is awesome.
Helping Others
Helping Others is now run by a fantastic team of 5 who each hold the phone on a day a week. They continue to provide lifts, collect prescriptions and provide an essential service for many. Tina Osborne welcomed Diane Wiltshire, Chris Chia, Carol Hambly and Anita Reynell as team members, and we have had a couple of new drivers also.
Holiday at Home 2021 celebrated its 10[th] anniversary.
Our August 2021 tourists ‘travelled’ to Greece and savoured the delights of chicken souvlaki, lamb kleftiko, many more culinary delights not forgetting the baklava! They had a wonderful Greek myths story teller and mandolin player. A blessed time for participants and helpers alike.
Holiday Clubs
We ran an incredibly successful and blessed holiday club in the summer of 2021, seeing young helpers and children grow and celebrate God is wonderful ways.
Evangelism Team
The evangelism team ran RESOLVE, a 4 week New Year course with a small group enabling new relationships to grow. They have been unable as yet, to return to out and about. They did have a presence at some Christmas services and the Shepherds Market and helped at The Light Fantastic in October which drew in many families from the community.
They are helping to facilitate our input of everyday faith in the services at the Church of the Good Shepherd, to encourage people to see where God is at work in the lives outside of church and to be able to talk about this with others. Tina and James along with others have continued to visit Warren Farm and work along the tow path as waterways chaplains.

Meal Makers
During the Covid lockdown, Janet Sutherland had a God-given dream about making meals for families and Meal Makers whatsapp team was born. A group who often provided meals to those in crisis under the guidance of Julia Wishart in the past. The group has grown after a number of families who received meals joined. They are looking to keep going and raise their profile and the willingness of people to receive! We know many recipients may not be in desperate need, financially, but the aim is to bless and comfort not simply to provide food.
Outside Hirers
Sarah, Linda and team continue to provide an amazing outreach and service to outside hirers. With restrictions easing hirers have come back and new contacts been made. The battle with the boilers and heating was won after many hours and phone calls! We continue to be blessed by their practical, faithful ministry in the Parish Office.

BUILDING COMMITTEE
BY TONY HILL, CHAIRMAN OF THE BUILDING COMMITTEE
There have been no capital works carried out during the year. Work has been restricted to maintenance.
Some of the projected work has been delayed as a result of Covid.
The replacement of the Church House boiler has been delayed since the boiler continued to work well in spite of its age. The upgrade to the heating system at St. Nicholas’ Church has been delayed because the technician has been isolating with Covid.
A leak was found in the roof at St. Nicholas’ Church when we had a very strong gale. This has occurred only once, but steps are being taken to check the high level flashings at the base of the spire to try and ensure that it does not occur in the future.
At The Church of the Good Shepherd, as a result of a car going through the side aisle glazing, the glazing has now been successfully replaced.
Generally, however, the works to our buildings which have been carried out over the past few years appear to have stood us in good stead through the last two years.

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 was 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. Once again, the Charities record their grateful thanks for the efforts of all concerned in raising the large sums at Shepherds Market.
Local Community Fund (“LCF”)
The LCF was launched in 2012 and application forms and further details can be found on the Parish website. During the year, we received no direct applications but once again chose to support the work of Woking Street Angels (£2,000).
Review of Charities
The mandate for our three supported causes came to an end in 2020 but due to covid, it was agreed to extend for a further year into 2021. During 2021, the Committee ran a full review and received 9 applications for support, a couple of which were withdrawn before adjudication. Other applications were more appropriately directed at our LCF pot, although as yet we have not received any applications from these people.

After careful review, it was decided to renew Besom and Amaha We Uganda for a further 3 years. CMS Devonport was also renewed but on a shorter time period as the management team have indicated that this project should end within the next 2 years. At that point, the process will be re-run to identify a third fund to support.

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 2021 at its Meeting on 4 April 2022. The Budget for 2022 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.
2021 Summary
The Accounts show that the Parish had an overall surplus of £12,084. This sum includes an unrealised gain in the market value of investments of £52,113. A comparison with 2020 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 2021 | Total 2020 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Funds | Funds | |||
| Incoming resources | £357,173 | £14,104 | £371,277 | £485,148 |
| Resources expended | £406,800 | £4,506 | £411,306 | £433,777 |
| Operating surplus/(deficit) | (£42,138) | £2,109 | (£40,029) | £51,371 |
| Surplus/(deficit) | (£30,993) | £43,077 | £12,084 | £74,211 |
The reason for the deficit in Unrestricted Funds is that an extraordinary donation of £50,000, received in December 2020 was included in the accounts for 2020, rather than in the accounts for 2021, the year in which the donor expected it to be spent.
Income
-
Donations and legacies income to Unrestricted Funds including Gift Aid was £273,769 (2020 £393,488).
-
Income tax reclaimed from Gift Aid totalled £48,699 (2020 £50,454) for Unrestricted Funds and £1,518 (2020 £619) for Restricted Funds. This included £724 (2020 £300) in claims under the HMRC Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme (GASDS), which permits charities to reclaim income tax on up to £8,000 per annum of small cash donations. As usual, the appropriate portion of recovered Gift Aid tax has been allocated to individual Restricted Funds pro rata with received donations.

At its Meeting on 1 November 2021, the Standing & Finance Committee agreed that employee’s salaries should be increased by 2% with effect from 1 January 2022.
Running Costs. Running costs totalled £52,796 (2020 £77,600). This was comprised of:
-
Running the Parish Office £13,737 (2020 £11,543).
-
Running costs of churches and Old School Room £21,379 (2020 £22,639).
-
Routine Building Maintenance £14,977 (2020 £15,385).
-
Building Committee Works £2,703 (2020 £28,033).

-
Photocopying, printing and stationery £3,226 (2020 £2,464).
-
Church of the Good Shepherd boiler repairs £3,030.
Outward Giving
-
At the APCM in 2018, it was agreed to increase the proportion of voluntary income allocated to Outward Giving from 5% to 10%. In addition, a fourth charity was added to the previous three. This arrangement has continued.
-
To meet the 10% requirement, £26,616 (2020 £27,762) was allocated, of which £4,069 (2020 £3,949) was donated to Pyrford CofE Primary School. The Parish’s four “chosen charities”, Amaha We Uganda, Woking BESOM, the Church Mission Society in Devonport and the Local Community Fund (LCF), each received £5,637 (2020 £5,953).
-
The annual Shepherds Market raised £16,024 (2020 £17,101) net of costs. This was divided three ways between Amaha We Uganda, Woking BESOM and CMS Devonport.
Reports & Accounts 2021
25
-
For Christmas 2021, the collections totalled £2,437 (2020 £2,198) including recoverable Gift Aid tax. Donations were made to: Tear Fund Afghan Crisis Appeal £406; Tear Fund Christmas Appeal £406; Woking and Sam Beare Hospice £812. £812 has been retained in the Parish Accounts.
-
The total for outward giving in 2021 was £46,665 (2020 £47,230).
Investments
-
Investments with CCLA Investment Management Ltd are divided between two types of fund: Investment Fund (97%) and Fixed Interest Fund (3%). 11.2% 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 2021 was £427,255 (2020 £375,412). In the Parish Accounts for 2021, an unrealised gain of £52,113 (2020 £22, 840) 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 £31,307. A maximalist interpretation, inclusion of 2 months of Parish Share, would bring this figure up to £55,031. At the end of 2021, the Parish General Reserve amounted to £115,546.
-
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 2021, its value was £47,591.

| 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, e.g. 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. |

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
to the Parochial Church Council of Wisley with Pyrford
I report on the Accounts for the year ended 31st December 2021 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
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners in section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
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.
Reports & Accounts 2021

Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention
-
which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with s.130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
