;
with the Diocesan Board of Education and the PCC. The Governing Body and PCC believe one ofthese places should be available for the Incumbent.
Representative to Churches Together in Earley and East Reading (CTEER): Dr Elaine Watts.
Deanery Synod: All licensed clergy serve ex-officio on the Deanery Synod. Mrs Sheila Jordan is our lay representative (there are four vacant places).
Meetings & Notable Business
The Council held six meetings in 2021 to discharge its statutory responsibilities, four online to accommodate Covid-19 restrictions. The pandemic and the parish’s response to it were of course the dominant theme of the year, along with more normal business of overseeing church buildings, finances, worship, mission, and pastoral care. Much time was taken in digesting the changing regulations / guidance and deciding on how and when we resumed or developed different services and events.
.
The Annual Meetings took place in person on 9th May 2021 and Ann Sheen and Clive Nunn were reelected as Churchwardens.
Council decided to make grants in support of two charities, REinspired (working locally to deliver RE in schools} and CMS (towards Anna Sims, the missionary support by the parish in Peru); funds were also raised for a range of other charities. It was agreed to support these charities for a further three-year period, as well as to support a new charity, the Anglican Diocese of Shinyanga in Tanzania, through a formal link. Each charity will be given a grant of £250 a year for 2022-2024 plus whatever fundraising events may be organised.
As the Treasurer's Report and Financial Statements show, our financial results for the year exceeded our fears. There was significant loss of income from regular collections, hall bookings, and weddings/funerals — as well as the cancellation of all fundraising event. However, thanks to the sterling work of the Parish Office team, we have made the Hall available to groups and activities permitted by UK Government regulations. Moreover, a substantial number of regular donors have now joined the Parish Giving Scheme, an automated scheme which streamlines local administration / costs and promotes regular giving. Possibilities for cashless donation in church will need to be considered in 2022 to build on this work and because fewer people now carry cash.
A Statementof Public Benefit needs to be considered,
,
Safeguarding
The Council takes seriously its duty of care to the vulnerable and its legal responsibilities in church and charity law. It annually reviews the Safeguarding Policy and procedures in fine with national and
diocesan guidance, and has adopted the ‘Promoting a Safer Church’ policy. Safeguarding information - is prominently displayed on the website, in church and in the hall. The Parish Safeguarding Officer, if not a Council member, has a standing invitation to present oral or written material at any Council or Standing Committee meeting and has access to the clergy and churchwardens at all times. The Parish Safeguarding Officer also has the right to attend team meetings about pastoral care and youth / children’s work. Safeguarding is a standing item on all Council agendas. There are regular scheduled meetings between the parish priests and the Safeguarding Officer (sometimes with the churchwardens) to oversee the implementation of safeguarding practice in the parish.
The Parish Administrator’sjob description now includes assisting in the administration of training/ disclosure procedures, and PCC increased the administration budget to fund this work. The Parish Administrator, with the Safeguarding Officer, has worked hard to develop IT and filing systems to improve efficiency. We continue to regularly review those who need to undertake DBS checks and, following changes in Charity Commission guidance, all Council members now have current DBS checks. We continued to arrange training for members of the congregation who undertake voluntary work with children and young people and / or vulnerable adults as well as for Council members, though we have identified a particular problem with training for those with little or no computer access. We are ’ seeking advice from the Diocesan Safeguarding Team. Work for 2022 includes implementing new Safer Recruitment guidance.
|
|
|
a |
In these ways the Council has complied with the duty to have due regard to the House of Bishops’ Safeguarding Policy and Practice Guidance.
Committees
|
fa} Standing Committee
The Standing Committee is established under Rule M31 and ‘transact{s] the PCC’s business between meetings of the PCC.’ The Standing Committee met roughly every other month in 2020 to review upcoming Council business, plan Council agendas, and deal with any urgent or delegated business. Because of the difficulties in gathering the whale Council, many urgent questions about the parish’s Covid-19 response were dealt with by Standing Committee.
Membership Ex-officio: The Revd Dr P P Hobday (Chairman); Professor Ann Sheen (Churchwarden, PCC ViceChairman); Mr Clive Nunn (Churchwarden). At least TWO PCC members elected by the PCC to serve for one year: Mrs H M Price (PCC Treasurer); The Revd H E Hobday. Mrs Diana Lea (PCC Secretary) (from APCM 2020) and Dr Mary Frank (Parish Administrator) attend all "meetings.
(b) Other Committees

Under Rule M32, the Council may appoint Committees. These may include persons who are not PCC Members, and the minister is entitled to be an ex-officio member. No such Committees are currently appointed.
)
Review and Preview
2021 will be remembered as the year of the third lockdown and much of the year was spent reviewing ever-changing laws and guidance as we tried to continue what we could of our shared life and service to the community.
While, unlike 2020, public worship was not prohibited, PCC decided that the risk to staff and volunteers was too great at the beginning of the year and therefore agreed to suspend public worship for some weeks. An interesting question for all parishes is what should be offered online and what in person. The return to regular public worship has been important, as our buildings are meant as places where people are welcome, and meeting together is a vital part of our faith and life together. However, online provision remains important. A weekly digital pre-recorded service was released whenever public worship was not possible; at those times, our ‘Tots and Teddies’ toddler service was livestreamed, and Sunday children’s activities were shared by video-conferencing technology. While almost ali worship and activities has returned to the building, we continue to offer occasional online services and events both to sustain our digital profile and to stay connected with thase who aren’t able to be physically in church. Bible studies and Lent groups took place online, though we were delighted to offer some in-person groups on faith and art.
To stay in touch we concentrated on regularly telephoning between a dozen and two dozen of our most isolated and vulnerable parishioners, and a weekly update about activities, events, and ways to stay connected with God and each other was sent by email to over 150?? people and by post around twenty of those without internet access. We also made good use of our social media channels to share information.
|
A major success was the reopening of the Church Hall as soon as national regulations allowed, a substantial number of groups returned to the building and we attracted significant new custom. This allowed the Hall to end the year in a healthy financial position and has made it an even more well-used community asset in an area where bookable space for charities and small businesses is very scarce.
By the end of 2021, the 10am and 6.30pm Sunday services had returned to more or less normal, and we offered the full range of Christmas services for the first time since 2019. A major development has been a weekly ‘Church@4’ service which is attracting a number of new or occasional attenders to a short, informal Sunday afternoon service. Sadly, pressure on clergy and volunteer time means we ' have not yet been able to resume regular midweek or 8am Sunday services, and we will need to return in 2022 to a sustainable pattern of worship.
The arrival of a substantial number of new families, largely from Hong Kong, has been a real blessing and has made our church family even more diverse. We are glad to be part of a lively, growing, and increasingly diverse community of all ages and backgrounds. Of course, growth in faith as well as numbers is important, and it has been heartening to see a number of people come forward to profess their faith in confirmation services with the bishop. ,
.
We remain hugely grateful to all those volunteers who coped with changing plans, adapted to Covid19 procedures, and kept our worship, pastoral care, musical life, and children’s work going through a difficult year, as well as all who contributed in prayer, money, or other ways. In particular, we owe a huge amount to our churchwardens (Ann Sheen and Clive Nunn}, ministry team (the clergy, Lay Minister (Elaine Watts}, and Authorised Preacher (Clive Tillin}), and parish office team (Mary Frank and Judith Bowler) who have given so much time and care in extremely challenging and fast-changing circumstances. Work for 2022 includes embedding the safer recruitment procedures; building on our growing work with children and young people; renewing pastoral care for all ages as we emerge from the pandemic; and starting work on a new mission action plan to guide our strategy and priorities for the next five years. .

Treasurer's Report
For the Year ended 31st December 2021
2021 was another difficult year because of the pandemic, reflected of course in our church community, and in the fundraising events we were unable to hold. Our largest single fInancial commitment is the Diocesan Parish Share, and despite those difficulties we were able to pay this in full. The 2022 commitment is £67,472. This figure Includes a temporary reduction of £10,000 offered by the Diocese in recognition of the difficulties which parishes have faced, and this reduction has contributed to the surplus we report this year. As the global economy Improves we were pleased to see a further increase in the value of our Trust Funds, but we de nonetheless need to remain cautious jn these uncertain times.
The accounts show a surplus for the year of £79,509, but this includes the increase in value of the Trust Funds. The actual surplus on day-te-day activities was £17,308 (including the £10,000 diocesan contribution mentioned above}. This Is a remarkable achievement in present circumstances, but we must continue to exercise sound stewardship of our funds and be prudent in our expenditure. in continuing challenging circumstances our regular planned giving has been maintained, and | am extremely grateful to ail who have contributed in gift or in kind over this pericd.
When economic conditions are difficult it is especially impartant te ensure careful management of church finances, and lam grateful to all those who help ta make sure that this runs smoothly, itis a team effort.
The church hall is a valuable resource, both for our own use in church activities, and as an attractive venue for external organisations. Good management has ensured that Income from the hall is gradually improving, and Its use as a community facility is also beneficial from an outreach perspective.
Whilst the worst of the pandemic may be behind us, many financial challenges lie ahead, and 1 remain grateful to all whe have contributed to our finances, and continue to do so, In so many different ways.
