Structure, governance and management
The PCC is part of the Oxford Deanery of the Diocese of Oxford within the Church of
England.
PCC members are the trustees of the charity and recruited in a number of ways. The
clergy, churchwardens and treasurer are members by virtue of their office. Deanery
Synod representatives and other PCC members are elected by the annual parochial
church meeting (APCM) and hold Offi￿ for three years. One third of ordinary PCC
members stand down each year but may stand for re-election for one further term.
The PCC makes all decisions corporately except that the Standing Committee has
delegated powers to make decisions between PCC meetings subject to keeping
other members of the PCC informed.
Responsibilities of the Trustees
The charity's trustees are responsible for preparing this Trustees, Annual Report and
the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The law
applicable to charities in England and Wales requires trustees to prepare financial
statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to
prepare the financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice in the UK.
Management Structures
In 2024, the PCC operated through a number of committees and sub-commitlees.
Standing Committee
This committee consists of the Vicar, the associate
ministers of St Matthew's, the two churchwardens and their deputies,
and the treasurer. The committee has the power to transact the
business of the PCC between PCC meetings, subject to any
directions given by the PCC.
Staff Management Group This committee oversees the PCC'S terms and conditions
of employment, (including staff remuneration levels and pension
contributions), job descriptions and contracts, the staff annual review
process, the PCC'S employment handbook, individual requests to vary

employmenl terms and conditions, and grievance and disciplinary
procedures.
Finance Committee This committee attends to financial matters on behalf of the
PCC, including the finance handbook, accounts, and reserves. The
committee is chaired by the PCC Treasurer and includes
representatives from both churches.

Risk Assessment
The measures that the PCC has put in place to manage the risks faced by its
churches include the following policies and procedures..

Financial Handbook
This document outlines the financial management system used by the
PCC to ensure all funds received are correctly handled, used only for
their intended purpose, and properly accounted for by each DCC.
Employment Handbook
This document outlines the aims, management and working practices of
St. Matthew's and St. Luke's PCC, and its standard terms and conditions
of employment. It sets out the PCC'S equal opportunities policy, and its
staff recruitment. management and appraisal procedures. It also sets
out procedures for handling disciplinary matters and grievances.
Church Health & Safety Policy
This document outlines the allocation of duties for health and safety
matters and the arrangements for minimizing the risks associated with a
range of potential health and safety hazards. Regular safety inspections
and risk assessments are undertaken at both St Matthew's and St Luke's
Churches to ensure the policy is implemented. In 2020, further risk
assessments for Covid-19 were undertaken for all in person activities.
Parish Safeguarding Policy, Parish Safeguarding Roles, Parish Policy on
Recruitment and DBS Disclosures, Guidelines for Working with Children, Young
People, and Vulnerable Adults at St Matthew's & St Luke's
These documents set out the PCC'S policy on the protection of children
and young people and vulnerable adults in the church, agreed annually.
Associated guidelines include the PCC'S recruitment policy for
volunteers working with those under 18 years of age and vulnerable
adults. The DSO is a PCC member. Safeguarding is a standing item on
all PCC agendas. We have focused upon ensuring that our workforce,
clergy. wardens and volunteers are appropriately trained and supported
to fulfil their safeguarding responsibilities and ensuring compliance with
wider diocesan and Church of England safeguarding requirements and
advice.
Reserves, Investment and Banking Policies
This document explains why the PCC needs to maintain reserves, sets
the acceptable level of reserves to be held, and outlines procedures for
managing, banking and investing reserves.
Objectives and Activities
The PCC'S functions, powers, and responsibilities are defined by the Parochial
Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 (as amended). The PCC'S main objective

is to co-operate with the Vicar in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the
Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It is also responsible for the
maintenance and upkeep of St Matthew's Church and Parish Centre, and St Luke's
Church.
Both St Matthew's DCC and St Luke's DCC organise a wide variety of activities
throughout the year. More information is available on the two church websites
https:Ilwww.stmatthewsoxford.org.uk and http:Ilwww.stlukesoxford.org.uk.
Most of these activities are funded by congregation members via their regular
monthly giving (and Gift Aid tax reclaimed), collections at church services or events,
or one-off donations. The remaining activities are financed by session fees, charges
for goods and services, or room rental. Many activities at St Luke's Church are also
supported by grants from other charities and trusts.
The success of these activities depends on voluntary input from members of the
church and the local community. The PCC is very grateful for their faithful service
over the last year.

Activities in 2024
The PCC met 6 times during the year 2024.
The year began without a Treasurer or Staff Management Leader.. huge thanks to
Peter Buchan-symons who covered both these roles for four months. The Treasurer
role in particular was a very demanding one and we are very grateful.
In April, David Crouch kindly took over as Treasurer with Margaret Price as deputy
and a new 'treasurer team, was formed, with Carolyn Lloyd-Davies (Stewardship),
Katherine Clarke (Gift Aid) and a paid bookkeeper. Towards the end of the year this
role was taken over by John Price on a voluntary basis. This new system is working
efficiently and thanks to all the team.
Safe
uardin
The clergy, staff team, PCC and parish safeguarding officer continued our focus on
ensuring that we actively promote the well being of. and safeguard. all the children
and vulnerable adults who attend our activities. We have audited our compliance
with diocesan safeguarding requirements (training, DBS checks etc) and also taken
time to consider reports and learning from national events and enquiries. This has
included requiring all our 2024 mission partners to provide evidence of their
safeguarding policies.
StafFin

In the employed staff team, Jo Hutchence began a period of one year of unpaid
leave from October 2024. Amy Buchan-symons took up some of the role for four
hours a week over 3 months and we are very grateful to Amy as she made it
possible for Bespace to happen: without her help we would have had to cancel it for
2025. We were sorry to say farewell to Naomi Shaw, but it was a great joy when she
and Mark got married and we wish Naomi all the best in her new life in Bristol.
As ever, many thanks to the staff team.. Katharine, Siegi, Sarah and Laura. Also to
the clergy and reader team: Jon, Rob, Mike, Janet and David. The vicar continues to
be grateful to those who contribute to leading worship for us Sunday in and Sunday
out.
It was a greatjoy that Rob was priested in June 2024 and we celebrate this new
stage in his ministry.
The work of youth and children's work continued in the churches, despite the lack of
a children's worker and, after July, of a youth worker. At st Matthew's The
Lighthouse continues with a valiant team of volunteers, occasionally helped by the
vicar, and Ignite and Ignite socials continue also, entirely volunteer staffed. Messy
Church continues, with a number of new families coming to take part. St Luke's hosts
a weekly mother and toddler group (Little Stars) on a Friday morning which is run by
the mothers themselves. Laura has been involved with the group and done a 'pizza
and pamper night,. This runs alongside the "Drop In" session which is a longstanding
Friday morning group held in the Chillout Room and open to all.
None of these activities would be possible without the commitment of the volunteer
team who work week in week out to disciple under 18s.
Over the lasl year, our Community Lunch at St Matlhew's has grown considerably,
and we now have an average of 17 - 20 guests each week. The free, home cooked
three course meal brings together the local community from various backgrounds.,
some are homeless, some with special needs and some from the local
neighbourhood but they all have one thing in common, pleasure in sharing food and
conversation. We have 13 volunteers on the monthly rota (two per shift) and two
volunteers who make and deliver sandwiches to the Gatehouse each month. We
also welcome our Community Police officers who drop in and are on hand to answer
any questions or deal with any local issues our guests may have. We always have a
Christmas Celebration with games and small gifts for everyone, and we also
celebrate each guest's birthday (if known) with a cake and card.
St Luke's has been hosting Craft afternoons three times a year over the last year.
These have been steadily drawing in more people both locally and further afield. We
focus on crafts that reflect the season and which are suitable for young children to
engage in as well as adults. The Easter Crafts day held in April this year, included
making models of clay, paper-based flowers and Easter baskets, Easter chicks made
from pompoms, and Easter cards. Refreshments were provided and the event
proved to be very successful.

The English language group for women met on Tuesday mornings, continuing to
support a few mothers (from St Ebbe's school) through developing English language
and friendship, and to express our faith through demonstrating the love of
Jesus. The remaining 4 regulars came from Syria, Sudan and Pakistan with 4
different mother tongues between them.
Laura Evans was appointed as Pioneer Missioner to Young Adults and began work
in May 2024. Laura's ministry began with a focus on hosting events that would help
us connect to the community around us. At St Matthew's, we started a series of
monthly film nights. One of the highlights was when we showed a documentary that
starred a resident from Marlborough Road, Anna Beer, who also kindly came and
gave a Q&A session afterwards. Over 70 people attended! The documentary looked
at injustice in the classical music industry, which in tum connected us with some
Oxford music students. Since then, we have hosted two student music concerts and
are currently in talks to host more. It has been amazing to see the unpredictable
way that these connections have grown and developed. The most encouraging part
has been that we have seen a few new young adults join the congregation at St
Matthew's. We are now looking to open a Workspace café on a Monday afternoon
with the hope of providing an alternative worklstudy space aimed at local
professionals and students. We hope that this will help us continue to reach the
community around us.
In terms of Sunday worship, 2024 saw the beginning of an evening service at St
Matthews. The nalure of the service (evening prayer, quiet reflection, SUSTAIN)
depends on who is leading it. but it is pleasing to report that a regular congregation
has grown of about 10 people, including some new worshippers. At the same time,
we began a 9:45 am service of spoken Holy Communion on any Sunday when there
is not Communion in the main service. Although numbers for this service are small (5
or 6) it is valued. The emphasis has remained that this is not an alternative to the
10.30 servi￿, but rather a chance to re￿1ve the sacrament. The Thursday service
of Holy Communion is much shrunken.. frequently there are only two people. There
are no plans to close this service down for the moment but its long term future will
need to be considered.
We continue to build relationships with the community. September 2024 saw the
launch of the Refresh Appeal to raise money for the early technical work on the
refresh of the Parish Centre. The St Matthew's Day Garden Party on Sunday 22nd
gave us a great opportunity to invite people from the neighbourhood to join us and
have some fun, as well as have the initial consultation about the Parish Centre. The
weather was uncooperative and may have reduced numbers, but a host of
volunteers worked hard to provide refreshments, a tombola, a jewellery stall, cakes
and the biggest bookstall ever seen. Messy Church took place at the same time so
there really was something for everyone.
It was a joy to host the South Oxford swap shop at St Luke's and many people who
had never been in the building before remarked on what a lovely space it was. At the

school, assemblies take place once a fortnight and be space happened once a year.
Greg and Jenny and Jen serve as governors to the school and this too offers lots of
opportunities for connection with our neighbours.
Fellowship groups continue but are in need of a review as some have ceased to
meet, some have become very small and some are thriving. In addition a new
strategy for being more proactive with inviting people to fellowship groups needs to
be developed.
Particular Events
Easter 2024 at St Matthew's had as a major feature the passion play (see below).
However there were encouraging numbers of people at both Messy Church and An
Hour at the Cross on Good Friday, and numbers were high on Easter Sunday. At St
Luke's, Ihe focus was on a craft day and on Easter Sunday morning.
SOMATA - Drama Ministry
The Oxford Community Passion Play 2024. After four days of rain, the sun shone
brightly on a glorious Easter Saturday in Hinksey Park. After six months of planning
and rehearsals The Oxford Community Passion Play was underway. Seven
churches in Oxford gave us their support and we are particularly grateful to our
Steering Group.. City Rector Rev Anthony Buckley, Rev Jenni Williams, Esther Brazil,
Ana-maria Niculcea and John Price. Fifty-six volunteers took part as members of the
cast, production team, creative team and crew. Apart from the professional sound
company Titan Film and Events Ltd, no one was paid, all gave their services free,
even those who are professional actors. We are grateful to The Passion Trust,
Bridge Builders, Trust, and The Diocese of Oxford for their funding of the sound
system, publicity, insurance, props and costumes and to BBC Radio Oxford and The
Tablet for publicity. There were two performances, and we had a total audience of
just under 400, raising £730.53 in bucket collections, which was given to The
Archway Foundation as some members of the cast were from the Archway charity.
The Oxford Passion Play 2026 is now being planned, with a view to it being
performed in the city centre, aspiring for much higher audience numbersl
'A Christmas Cracker. Christmas entertainment, 2024.
Many of the cast and crew from the Oxford Passion Play performed in our Christmas
special 'A Christmas Cracker, on December 14th. Advertised as a family show, we
set up festive refreshments in the Church including stollen and mince pies and
invited the neighbourhood to join us. Held in St Matthew's Church, an audience of
approximately 60 people joined in singing, heard poems and readings, mostly of the
joyfullcomedy variety. In addition. we had ten volunteers helping as ushers, crew,
sound and music. The highlight of the evenl was the hilarious 'A Christmas Panto,
directed by Marion Bloice-smith, with rhyming couplets ably voiced by a cast of
eleven actors from the community. Ajoyful rendition of 'The Virgin Mary had a Baby

Boy, found us dancing in the pews and brought a festive conclusion lo a very happy
event.
We repeated our Carol Singing event in December. Wet weather may have put some
people off coming to sing outside St Matthew's, but those who came enjoyed joining
in. The merry band galhered in Ihe enlrance hall of the Parish Centre and then
moved on to Pegasus Grange where they were greeted by residents and continued
singing in the Cloisters. We are grateful to John Milne, Andrew Smith and John
Stobbs for leading this event- it is a great way to get the neighbours to join our
Christmas celebrations.
Christmas service attendance 2024 showed many encouraging signs. There were 54
at the St Luke's Carol service, showing the benefit of leafleting the neighbourhood as
publicity. At St Matthew's the crib service had about 90 people, although the number
of young children was very low. Christmas Day at St Matthew's was an unexpectedly
large congregation given the number of people who were away for Christmas.
The doors of St Matthew's Parish Centre were open every Sunday night during the
coldest time of the year to welcome people who would otherwise have nowhere to
stay. The Oxford Winter Night Shelter organised a rota of lovely volunteers including
some members of St Matthew's. Up to 10 guests, referred from homeless services,
were welcomed with hot drinks and food, given a camp bed and fresh bedding in the
lovely warm hall and served breakfast before leaving. We are delighted to say that
some of the guests were moved into accommodation and others really appreciated
the hospitality.
In September a new communications venture began: St Matthnews. Under the editor
ship of John Price St Matthews goes out once a month to the Grandpont end of the
parish updating neighbours with the church's activities and, usually, a short
reflection. When people have come to events such as the cinema night, they have
often mentioned this magazine as the way they heard about things happening in the
church.
Both websites continue to serve our outreach. The websites provide information
about worship services. community activities, and upcoming events. They also offer
resources for newcomers and details on how to get involved with the church's
ministries.
The regular activities of the church continued during the year. Huge thanks to all
those who organise and participate in:
The musical worship al both churches

A new initialive began in September for residents of Pegasus Grange to meet
together and pray, study the Bible and listen to speakers.
A huge amount of ongoing work is being done by the Buildings Committee, led by
Nigel Fulford in seeking to make St Matthew's more energy efficient. The Vicar is
deeply grateful to them and also to the Appeals Committee for a great deal of work
behind the scenes.
st Matthew's buildings remain in generally good condition. We have been working
with technical consultants on options for a 'Refresh' of the Parish Centre. The
building dates from the mid-1990s. it is looking tired and is configured for the needs
of 30 years ago. During 2024 an architect started looking at options for an upgrade,
and from the start of 2025 building services engineers have been investigating
options for a new heating system. The aim is for essential heating modernisation
and a refresh of the building to take place together. The cost of the technical
development work has been met by a combination of a grant from the Diocese and
gifts from our congregation. There is a second briefing for church members and our
neighbours on the emerging options on Sunday 18th May at 1200 for 1215, in St
Matthew's church. The architect will be present and there will be opportunities for
questions. Interestingly, we have appointed the same architect who carried out the
successful refurbishment of St Luke's for us. Huge thanks go to the Buildings,
Appeals and Finance Committees, and in parlicular Nick Wilson for applying for
grants which enabled us to pay for the scoping work with the architect and energy
advisory company.
A new Appeals committee, headed by Jackie Wilderspin, has begun working to find
creative ways to raise money for the Refresh appeal as well as staffing. Some of this
will need to be grant applications, but the team also work hard on finding ways to
make local fundraising with fun activities.

St Luke's is in generally good condition and all the required maintenance work
identified in the 2022 Quinquennial has now been done: huge thanks to Jane Jones
and Siegi Delhune for this.
Christians Against Poverty continues to be part of the mission work of our parish. We
are planning a refresh and reboot of this ministry as it connects to the churches in
November 2025.
St Matthew's and St Luke's gives away 100/0 of their unrestricted income to its
partners in mission. This year they were, as last year, the Church Mission Society.
the Semiliki Trust, Faith in Government, Latin Link. Oxford Church, s Debt Centre
{Christians Against Poverty), Street Pastors, Archway and Just Love. This year we
added a new Mission Partner: Medair. Our total mission support to these
organisations was £16,000. In addition we transferred £1,500 to the Bridge Builder
Trust to spend on local projects. We aim to give half of our mission support to
oversees work and the other half to work in the UK. We only support organisations
with which we have strong links already and a condition of our funding is that the
organisation has an up-to-date safeguarding policy.
Bridge Builder Trust
The principal objectives of the Bridge Builder Trust {BBT) are to promote the work of
St Matthew's and St Luke's Churches {especially as they support those who live
locally) and to provide for the improvement of their buildings.
The Trust has benefited in 2024 by a grant from St Matthew's to support community
projects. The Trust has continued to benefit from individual donations and the
ongoing support of donors to the St Luke's Big Vision Fund. These have funded
grants of £750 to St Ebbe's School and £2,000 to the St Luke's community. Trustees
are actively seeking other projects to support within our community and have
designated £5,000 for environmental projects. Total sums available to the Trust at
the end of 2024 were £16,760, similar to the previous year.
In terms of local relationships, our Deanery Synod reps attended meetings on the
parish share and other matters. Jackie gave a presentation about Street Pastors.
Thanks to Amy and Katharine for engaging proactively with Synod. We are building
ongoing relationships with St John New Hinksey and exploring what more we can do
together. This is a welcome development. We have been working with Lake St
Centre to build a web of support for people who may be in need.
