Sl Peter s Church nave & lower and Ihe church centre are heated by hvo separaiè gas boiler systems. The nave & lower are healed by a non-condensing commercial gas boiler. while the church centre is healed by a domestic condensing gas boiler. Both boilers are serviced annually and remain well wilhin Iheir working lifespan. provided they are regulady ainlained. Holvever. the larger commercial ga5 boiler recently experieneed an issue with one of ils hvo circulaling pumps, which seized and slopped working. The other pump is still functioning. bul the lack of a backup pump poses a risk lo the contsnuous operation ol Ihe healing system. There are two potential solutions lo resolve this issue- Direct replacement ol Ihe faully pump. Upgradelreplace Ihe boiler wilh two energy-efficienl condensing gas boilers 12 x 30kWI.
Al this stage. option 1 is the prelerred course of action. as il is more cosl-effective and provides addilional lime lo consider future greener and more sustainable heating solutions. Audiovisual.. Following improvement works carried out lo the sound syslem al Sl Peler's, the PCC has approved phase Iwo of the project. which includes removal of the large projector screen al the front of the church and the addition of several large screens al the front wilh repeater screens along the aisles. To secure DAC approval for the work. the bundle ol wires running al high level across the front of the chancel musl be removed and rOUted. We are currently seeking quotations Irom local commercial eleclricians lo carry out the rewiring work. Kitchen.. Several ilems of equipment in Ihe kitchen were replaced last year, induding the dishwasher and waler boiler. General maintenance and DIY repairs have also been undertaken, such as replaang leaking kitchen taps, installing a mixer tsp, and repairs to a ceiling light and the exlraclor fan filler. Church Tower and Nave= A uacked cast iron downpipe in the lower was temporarily patched and is awailing replacemenl. Two new hydraulic amis were filled to Ihe heavy lower hatch door to make il easier lo open and lo facilitste regular maintenance of the towers flat roof. Church CentTe-. The fire alarm panel was replaced due lo a persistent ballery fault. Our thanks go lo Howard Goldsmith and his team of volunteers for redecorating the main meeting room, foyer. welcome area and corridor ofthe church cenlre during the summer. A persislenl leak in Ihe corridor ceiling was identified as emanating from a drain cover on the flat roof and was repaired during the summer. However. the leak reappeared during the prolonged subzero lemperalures. likely due lo frozen ice eausing a crack in the lining of the pvc nal roof adjacent to the drain cover. It is hoped Ihal applying a layer of sealant lo the crack will resolve the issue. The secondary pump and Honeywell limer on the church cenlre hol bvaler system were replaced and a lap was installed on the hot water lank lo aid filling of the baplisffl pool. The track of the partition doors beiween the main meeting Toom and the foyer has become warped. causing issues wilh moving and closing the hea partition doors. This is believed lo be due lo crumbling of Ihe concrete floor below the track. Due to difficulties in sourcing replacement metal track, we are looking lo repair the concrete floor and regularly lubricate the track lo improve funclionalily. Quinquennial Building Inspection SuNey (August 20241- The following suminary outlines the key findings and recommendations from the survey: Church Inlerior.. Chancel-. Address black mould odour by improving airfiow. Ground Floor Corridor.. Refix loose boxing. Boiler Room. Verify the presen of an aulomalic gas shut-off valve. Church Exterior..

Reposition displaced tiles and replace missing liles. Easl Elevation- Replace missing liEes on the extension building. Overall= The findings of the Quinquennial Report were largely anlicipaled. and the recommendations have less impact than expected. Many of the issues identified in the first half ol the report can be addressed through DIY efforts. For more serious issues. such as roofing and guttering repairs, we are already in the process of obtaining quoles for the repairof the soulhside lower roof tiles, pointing of the flashing and guttering. Plans for the Coming Year Following Ihe recommendalions of the recenl Quinquennial Report120241, it has been advised lo replace and repair the cracked rool tiles rather than undertake a complete reroofing. Quolalions for the roofing work will be sought from competent roofing companies in the coming year. St Mark's Church This building is ovmed and maintained by the NHS. which has the benefit of removing several responsibilities from the PCC, but also slows the pace al which opportunities can be progressed. During 2024 the ovèrhead gas fired heaters failed. requiring the church to meet in a Seminar room in the hospital. This issue is being overseen by Ihe NHS Eslales Team. Investigations and polenlial solutions are being worked up by the Eslales Team. We continue to apply pressure lo work towards a long-lerm healing solution. 12. Financial Review of the Year Total funds received in 2024 were £287.223 of which £240,765 were unreslricled, £41.337 were restricted and £5,121 were Sl Mlark's. The decrease in total funds received belween 2023 and 2024 was £33.742. This decrease was due lo the generous response of one-off donations following Ihe stewardship campaign in 2023 and receipt of a subslanlial legacy in December 2023. Total expenditure in 2024 was £242.748-, an increase of £24,344111 Yol compared lo 2023. This Ivas mainly due lo the general increase in c051s along with maintenance of the boiler system and fire alarm. The net movement in unrestricted funds was an increase of £42,636 during the year which resulted in an unrestricted lund balance of £252,402 carried forward into 2025. In 2024 Sl Peler s gave £21274 as mission lithe dislribuled as follovis-. £.1042_06 to Sireel Kids Direct.. £401 2.00 lo Open Doors.. r5743.98 to Yeldall Ivlanor. £5743.98 to Chriilian Connections in Schools and £1701.92 to Recharg- R&R.

ReseeS PoSi¢y The PCC policy is lo hold in reserve the equivalenl of a slep reduction in income o1200/& for 6 months and lo cover any conlraclual obligalions whilst action Is taken lo reduce oulgoings and appeals are made for increasing voluniary income_ 11 is also our policy lo hold an amount lo meet urgent and unexpected building works and lo fund essential building improvements. The curyenl level of reserves is higher than that required by the Reserves Policy. The PCC has plans lo use reserves for funding further mission and minislry projecls over the period 2025 10 2030. Going Concern The Truilees have considered the financial position al the year end and consider that Ihe financial slalements should be prepared on a going concern basis. P•Je17
