Achievements and Performance PCC Secretary Report 2024 2024 wa5 an unusually busy year for the PCC, with seven meetings (including the short meeting after the APCMI, one vote taken by email and a large PCC attendance at the pre-section 11 meeting held in February. Average aitendance at meetings held in person was 55%. Meeting5 have received regular reports on parish finances, tsn child protection and safeguarding and on the work of the Deanery Synod. Updated Sofegutsrding Procedures were approved at the September meeting. District churches have also given regular reports on their work. Meetlngs were dominated by the vacancy process. After the retiring archdeacon had set things in motion in February, a profile committee was established and began to prepare a profile for the post of Team Rector. Then the April meeting decided to write to the Bishop requestinE that the nature of the post be reconsidered. The p0s5ibility of appointing an interim minister was raised, but we were told that this was not practical. Instead, it was proposed that we explore a pastoral reorganisation. in which the parish would be divided into two, one covering St Peterfs and St john's and the other Chad-mark and All Saints. We could then advertise for a priesi-in-char8e and rector-designate of the city centre parish. This was agreèd at the July meeting,. a5 part of this process we also askèd the Bishop to restrict the patron's right of presentation to the post of Team Rector, whieh he did. The profile group then worked on a revised profile, whlch was approved (subject to mlnor amendments) at the Septernber mèeting. At the same rneetln& a small comrnittee was formed to compose an advert. By November, both profile and advert had been agreed by the Diocese, though the advert had to be amended hurriedly in mid-December when it was found to be twice as long as the available Space permitted. By the November rneeting, we knew that the advertisement would first appear in January 2025. leading to interviews in late March if all went well. The November meeting also agreed to ask the Bishop to suspend the patron's right of presentation la stronger measure than restrictionl while the pastoral review went on. giving a new appointee adequate security of tenure. Ray Gaston was licensed as Team Vicar of All Saints. on 19, March. The Aprll meeting was pleased to 5VPPOrt Amy Bertaul in undertaking reader training. Valerie Fairelough ceased to be an asslstant priest in the parish durin8 the year and now ha5 permission to officiate,. conversely. towards the end of the year, Chijioke Qkiba moved from Pto to assistant priest. It was noted at several meetings that there were two v3cancie5 on the Academic Committee of St Peterfs Collegiate Acaderny, to which the PCC had right of nomination, but these remained unfilled at the end of the year. The PCC was well-represented at the Deanery meeting regarding Shaping for Mlssion and the Diocesan Strategic Framework in July. Thi5 Wa5 followed up by DCCS. but it is not clear where this process is at present. The PCC is grateful to all who have worked 50 hard to maintain the work of the parish, especialw St Peterfs and St John's, during a full year Df vacancy. Churehwarden5 and their deputies have given generou51y of their time and worked incredibly hard and servi￿$ have been led by a larÈe number of visiting clergv.

St Peterfs Collegiate Church Churchwardens, Report 2024 It Is now 17 months that we have been wlthoul a Rector and so St Peter's church ha5 been led and managed by a wonderful team of lay volunteers for the whole of 2024. We have been fortunate in being able to cover over 90% of all Euchari5tlC 5erviees and l arn extremely grateful to 311 of thè visiting priests who have enabled this to happen. On the occasions when we have not been able to provide cover, we have offered Mornin8 Prayer on a Friday and Matins on a Sunday which, along wlth most services of Choral Evensong or Evening Prayer, have been led bv a member of the con8re8ation. Other services held include an ordSnation. a licensin& the City Council's Civic and Remembrance services and we hosted a prayer service to welcome the new Bishop. TIM. The nymber of people attending our re8ular services has remained stable and it is good to see so many families with young thildren, many of whom attend a thriving junior Church. For younger ¢hildren, Pebbles continues to be held on a Tuesday morning and although we still have few attendees. it is much appreciated by those who do come. The church building is not only used for services though and this year has seen an increase in the number of groups and organi5ation5 who have held events 3t St Peter'5. Evening usè of the church has been made by Wolverhampton Grarnmar School, St Peter's Academy, the Police Cadets, the 8eavers, the student nurses from Wolverhampton University, The Samaritans, Wolverhampton Youth Theatre and we have had our regular bi-annual visits from Ex Cathedra. During the day we continue to welcome many school and adult groups for organised vi51ts, sorne for a whole day. with activitie5 and others for a talk and a tour. It is estimated that in 2024 we welcomed over 550 prearranged visitors in addition to those who come in to church for prayer, reflection or just to vlsit. Throughout the year, work has continued to repair the stonework of the Chancel exterior and it 15 now expected to be completed in Spring 2026. Work 15 also on80in8 to try and compléte the new lighting system. which is proving difficult to operate on our existing dimmer wrack. The church's heating System has also been updated to help reduce the runnlng costs but. even with the work done on the heating and lighting system5, we are still having to pay upwards of £500 a day to rnaintain the church building, which is not sustainable in the long term. Fundraising events in 2024 included the Summer and Christmas Fairs, and whilst they were financially successful and were very successful in bringinB members of the public into the Church, many for the first time, they are not a means by which we can sustain the payment of our regular outgoings. A priority for 2025 will, therefore, be finding other funding streams to enable regular maintenance work to be carrled out. Extensive work has also been carried out on the Rectory. This has been managed by the diocese and has included installing insulation and a new central heating system and boiler, whilst we hav8 maintained the @arden. Huge thanks are due to Alan Bickley. who has coordinated the work with the diocese and who ha5, Wlth his wife, Elaine, kept a close eye on the building over the year. At the end of August. our Director of Music, Callum Alger. left to take up a teaching p05t at Solihull School. We were sorry to see him go after the many years that he has been involved 3t St Peterfs. 2024, under Callum's direction, saw the choir sing Choral Evensong at St Paul's Cathedral in London. record a second broadcast of Choral Evensong for BBC Radio 3 and complete a week in residence at Exeter Cathedral In August. since his departure, the choir has been led by Matt Rose, one of our Lay Clerks, and we are extremely grateful to him for taking on this role, whleh has seen the thoir sing Choral Evensong at Hereford Cathedral and begin an Outreach project with local primary schools. We have continued to keep the church building open on weekdays from 11am to 2pm and regularly welcome around 30 people day into the church for private prayer. Thi5 could not happen without the willlng volunteers and to them l am extremely grateful. Also manned by volunteers Is St Pelerfs House. Sue Bowden decided this year that she would be stepping down from active duty in The House. although she continue5 to work'behind the scenes, and we are most grateful lor all that she has done over many years. The volunteers do a magnificent job, serving the people of Wolverhampton and helping to raise much needed funds for the thurch and we 8ive thanks for all that they do. Page 5

I would also like to record my thank5 to Alan Bickley and Diana Polowyj, my deputy wardens, who are a tower of strength and without whom the work of the Church would not be continuing throughout this pèriod of Vacancy.

At some point this will be transferred back to the Lloyd5 account.

This is about £500 up on 2023, once the contribution made by CWC towards boiler repair5 15 removed frorn the 'donations' in 2023. Individual donors have been thanked by letter. Restricted grants and donation5 for the year were.. A gift of £9450 from the Clemence Charitable Trust towards the cost of reducing our carbon footpr¢nt. perhaps through insulation of the roof or the installation of solar panels. These ideas have yet to be pursued. Two grant5, of £7,000 and £9,000. from the Hubbub Foundation for costs associated with the Community Fridge project. Each has a specific focus. Two grants, each of £5,000, from City of Wolverhampton Council from Household Support funds. which support the Sunday community meal and other community activitie5. Over £41,000 has bèen received from the Church of England Innovation Fund for the All God's People Project.. The majority of this has been handled by the Diocese and has not Passed through our bank accounts. We are grateful to the Clemence Trust, Hubbub Foundation, Wolverhampton Council and the Innovation Fund for these grants and donations which make our cornmunity work possible. Income from lettit)gs has been split between the Comrnunity Project Fur¢d and general funds. Ex enditure There Is nothing major to which attention should be drawn. Our Common Fund payment will rise to £13,612.75 In 2025. Thi5 is 25% of the total for the parish.. All Saints at present pay nothin& so the remaining 75% is covered by St Peterfs and St John's. The remaining payment for thè kitchen12.5% rèserved until snagging is completel will be due early in 2025. This will empty the Kitchen Fund- the architects are making an additional charge for their work at the end of the project, which will have to be taken from general funds. It is recommended.. al That we dispense with the petty cash fund for flowers- £25 which has been sitting in the safe untouched sinte before the pandemic. This would be paid into the bank. bl That we close the separate little Eden bank account and transfer the funds to the rnain account. We handle all other funds separately within the main account. The restricted nature of the fund would be unchanged. A5 well as thanking those who donate funds, it is important to thank all who make gifts in kind. many of which go unrecorded. We are also fortunate that Ray makes no clalm for expenses. Chris O'Brien February 2025 Chris O'Brien Page 11

Reserve5 Policy It is PCC policy to try to maintaln a balance on free reserves (net current a55et51 which equate5 to at least three months unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to £57,109 2024 [£62,173 20231. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emer8Ències. The balance of the free reserves at the year-end was £295.016 20241£222.372 20231 which is considerably higher than thi5 target. The Trustees feel that a higher reserve is prudent in these uncertain tlmes. Partlcularly as most of the reserve £216,98120241£232.427 20231 Is invested In stocks and shares whSch provldes Income. The Investment wtll be used should capital be needed. Investment Policy The charity IS granted power to invest In suitable Investments under the PCC Powers Measure 1956 and the Trustees Act 2000. As a charity. the Trustees have a duty of care to take such advice as is appropriate before investments are undertaken. This advice is sought from the Central Board of Finance ICCLAI in London. AFH Wealth Management and EFG Harris Allday The chariws investment policies are based on two key principles'.- Ethical Inve5trnent-this includes ensuring that investments are held in companies which have high standards of corporate governance and act in a responsible way towards stakeholders. Long-term responslbilltles the trustees are aware of thelr long-term responslb511tles In respect of the Restricted and Unrestricted reserves and as a result follow a prudent approach to investment decisions. Investmeni policy for long-term funds is aimed primarily at 8eneratin8 a sustainable income, with due regard to the need for the pre5etvation of capital value. and the possible need to realise investments to meet operational needs. The charity does not have a policy of generating income at excessive or high risk- known as "purchasing income" where high returns are guaranteed at the expense of cap¢tal. In summary. the charity has an overall polic¥ to maxlmise income while preserving thè real value of its funds. Due to the nature of the charity, an ethical investment policy is taken into consideratlon when investments are made.. The charity follows the Ethical Investment Advlsory policy as recommended by the Li¢hfleld Diocese which indudes the following.. "We aim to invest in companies that". will develop their business in the interests of shareholder5', * demonstrate responsible employment practice5; are Conscientious concerning issues of corporate govemance, the environment and human rights.. are sensitive to the community in which they operate.~ Planned givin& collections and donattons are the main sources of fund raisin8 along with tax recoverablè.

Fundraising The PCC takes its fundraisin8 responsibilities Seriously and is very grateful to all donors- whether regular or occasional for their support of the church and church events. PCC supporters are never taken for granted. The PCC takes full responsibility for fundraising and do not use commercial organisations or professional fundraisers. All money raised is either by donations, fundraising events. special appeals, or legacies for which the PCC are most grateful. Page 13
