3. Structure and operating procedures
The Trustees met six times during 2025. During these meetings. the Trustees discussed and prayed about a
wide variety of matters induding vision. governan￿. ￿li￿e$, buildings and infrastrurture as well a5 receiving
regular reports on financial perfomiance and staffing. The Standing Commtttee meets rough￿ two weeks

4. Prlndpje risks and uncertainties
The PCC is exposed to risks associated with finance. Safeguardi￿ legislative compliance, buildings and
infrastructure. and pastoral oversight.
The PCC has a safeguard1￿ Policy and the Trustees appoint a Safeguarding Offi￿r who act as the focal
point for Con￿rn> All key stsff and volunteers workirE with children and vulnerable adults are
recruited using Safer Recruttment principles and are checked with the Disclosure Barring Service.
Clergy receive regular Safeguarding training through the Diocese of Oxford and other staff, volunteers
and Trustees also undertake the required Diocesan Safeguarding training. The Trustees have complied
with the duty under settion 5 of the Safeguarding arKI Clew Discipline Measure 2016 Iduty to have
regard to the House of Bishop< guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults}.
Our buildings are insured and maintained regularly to ensure that they are safe and fit for purpose.
Key improvements in 2025 have included: general maintenance due to wear and tear and age,
particularly repairing the church roof and instslling handrails at the church'5 main entran￿.
We have a dearth of volunteers, and this is having an impart on the operation of the church. For
example. V￿ only have one Church Warden and he is retiring at the 2026 APCM. Similarly the
Treasurerwill be standing down at the same meetin&

PAROCHIALaiuRCH COUNCILOF ￿JOHNTHE EVANGEUSt.W(X)DLEY
5. Volunteers
Every church is very dependent on its volunteers and Stjohn's is no eX￿ption. The church is very grateful for
all the members of the congregation that give their time so generously. The general trend is that the existing
volunteers tend to be older and they are often finding it rnore difficult to contribute as much as they
previousty did.
The absen￿ of volunteers could be mitigated by paid roles. but this will pla￿ fvrther pressure on Stjohn's
finan￿5.
3.3.Objectives and Activities
Worship and Prayer
During 2025 the rhythm of Se￿1￿5 has developed:
First and third Sundays have a 8(￿k of Common Prayer communion service now held at 9am instead of
8am
On the second and fourth Sunday5 a new family Servi￿ called Bubble Church was initiated during
2025. This seivtce starts at 9am
Regular 10am Sunday services are 5ti11 at Ioarn. but now the second and fourth are the only
communion services.
The Wednesday morning 10am comrnunion Servi￿ has grown to nearly 20 regular attendee5.
There is also a weekty Fellowship and Study Group held over Zoom on Wednesday evening5.
There is a regular Bible study held on Wednesday (after the communion se￿1￿) and a prayer meeting held
over Zoom on Tuesday evenings.
The Urdu, Punjabi and Hindi IUPHI fellowship continued their ServI￿S every Sunday afternoon and have now
become an official service of St. John's. Several members of that congregation also worship and assist in other
services. For example. Rev Richard Christopher has continued his very much appreciated involvement in
Sunday and Wednesday serrfices, assisting and leading as required.
2. Deanery Synod
The Parish has two representatives vtho attend the meeting5 which are held in various churches in Reading
Deanery. Although there are nonrtally six meetings each year in the 2025 there wa5 a seventh= a visitation by
the Bishop Mary shortfy after her appointment
3. St John's Church Centre
The Church Centre is a resour￿ whtch is both used and appreciated by St John's congregations.
It is also an important source of income for the Parish when It is let for a variety of community functions. The
letting rates are kept under review.
The Church Centre is. like the church. a Grade 2 listed buildinE. This complicates the maintenance and
increases the costs of any required work.
Pastoral Care
The Sunday services are recorded and made available 0Tr4ine and communion is administered at home to

PAROCHIALCHURCH COVNCILOFsfJoHNTHE EVANGEUST. WOODLEY
those who are now no longer abSe to physically get to St John's.
A regular Grief Café 15 run each Tuesday and Saturday to support those In need.
Each Friday lunchtime Lunch. Munch and Chinwag provides a meal and friendly environment. It is free but
donations are welcome. Donations from these events has provided over £3.IXK) for the church funds.
5. Mission and Ewdngelism

comprise those with whom we share congregation collertion5 for certain Servi￿5. and also a list which w05
compiled by a sub*roup instituted for the pur￿Se. All charitie5 are approved by the PCC.
Those that were supported by sharing Servi￿ collections are:

St John's also contributed two school govemors to the local Church of England school.
There have been two new inttiatives aimed at encouraging families and children to come to St John's:
Bubble Church.. thi5 is a short, child-frtendty service that has started to attract a number of new
families into St John's. It is run twice a month at 9am before the 10am communion service.
Home-Ed Hub: the church is providing its facili￿S for home education families. St John's is the only
parish in the Diocese to provide thi5 SQrt of evangelism. It has successfully applied for a Diocesan grant
for this work {the 8rant was not received in 20251.
3.4.Financial Revlew
The major differen￿5 in income and expendT1U￿ in 2025 compared with 2024 are:
l. An linterim) legacy payment of £2￿,C￿ Wds re￿Ived from the estate of Brian Woods.
2. Taking into account the legary the General Fund used was in £9.241 deficit {compared with a £14,234
defictt in 20241. Thi5 was. in parL due to Southlake Crescent being vacant for a couple of months.

3.5.Reserves Policy
The aim of the PCC is not to generdte signtficant surpluses of income over expenditure or to hold la￿e
reserves. A certain level of general reserve does, however. need to be held at each year*nd to counteract the
impatt of fluctuations of income and expenditure across the year. It is PCC policy to try and maintain a balan
on free reseNes (net current assets) which equates to at least two month< unrestricted payment5. This year
this is equivalent to £22.607. The balan￿ of the free reserrfes at the year*nd. consisting of unrestricted and
designated funds. was £252.173. The PCC is of the opinion that there is no practical financial risk to the
ministry of the parish.
Where reserves are held for the longer terni. are pla￿d on deposit. The CBF Church of England Dep051t
Fund, which has an ethical investment policy. and gNes higher rates of return than the Chartties Aid
Foundation Bank. 15 used for the reserves.
3.6.Related Party Transactions
Members of the PCC receNed reimbursement of expenses incurred on beha￿of the Churth. No member
received reimbursementstotaling more than £l.CU). There were no other disclosable transactions in respect of
PCC members, closefy connerted wtth them or other related parties.

3.7.Plans for the Future
A primary emphasis for St John's church is the development and encourdgement of children and youth work.
To this end we will continue to develop Bubble Churth and Home-Ed Hub. However. we also have secured a
grant of £40.LK(J (payable over three years} to support a dedlcated fami￿ worker. The plan is to recruit a
family worker durln8 the coming year.
For several years the church bells have been silent tecause of deterioration of the bells and particularly the
supportln8 brick and stonework. In 2026 it Is planned that these bells will be restored and brou8ht back into
operation. To that end there will be a campai8n to raise the £24,(m needed.

St John the Evangelist participate5 in the Pension Builder Scheme section of CWPF for lay staff. CWPF is
administered by the Church of England Pensions Board. which holds the CWPF assets separately from those of
the Employer and other participating employers.
CWPF has two sertions:
the Defined Beneffts ScheTne
2. the Pension Builder Scheme, which has two subsertion5."
a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic and.
a cash balan￿ 5ertion known as Pension Builder 2014.
Pension Builder Scheme
Both sections of the Pension Builder Scheme are classed as defined benefft schemes.
Pension Builder aassic provides a pension, accumulated from contributions paid and converted into a
deferred annuity during employment based on terms set and revIev￿d bythe Church of England Pensions
Board from time to time. Discretionary increases may also be added. depending on investment returns and
other factors.
Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum which members use to provFde
benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. Discretionary
bonuses may be added before retirement. depending on investment returns and otherfactors. The account.
plus any bonuses declared is payable, unred￿￿d. from age 65.
There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme.
The scheme is considered to be a rnulti*mployer scheme as described in Settion 28 of FRS 102. This 15 because
it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme's assets and liabilities to specific employers and
means that contribLrtions are accounted for as rfthe Scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The
pensions costs (including life coverl charged to the SOFA in the year are the contributions payable {2025:
£1.021. 2024= £9911.
A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme i5 carried out On￿ every three years. The most recentvaluation
was carried out as at 31 De￿rnber 2022.
For the Pension Builder Classic section. the valuation revealed a surplu5 of £34.8rn on the ongoing assumptions
used. At the most recent annual review effectNe l January 2026. the Board chose to grant a discretionary
bonus of io% to both pensions not yet in pa￿ent and pensions in payment in respect of SeN1￿ prior to April
1997: and a bonus on pensions in payment in respect of post April 1997 service so that the pension increase
was also l(PA (where usually it would be calculated based on inflation up to an annual cap of 5% for pensions
in payment in respect of service prior to April 21￿6 and 2.5% for pensions in payment in respect of se￿iCe post
