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.

No other groups have been reported to me
2024 ha5 seen the continuation of practlcal use of the DBS IDi5c105ure and Barring Servicel and we only now check specific
categorie5. We have stressed on many occasions that all volunteers and staff be vigilant and communicate anything they feel is not
quite right.
2024 we ensured that all Trustees had an up-to-date QBS check. The PCC has agreed that if a new member joining the PCC are
willing but not able to obtain a DBS check because of identification then they will be allowed to serve on the PCC but this w(11 be

Those that are able and not willing to obtaln a DBS wlll be removed from the PCC as a Trustee.
The Safeguarding comrnittee have produced a Flow chart of the processes io follow should there be a need to Teport an incident.
Along with Pro-forma to complete these are held in each Chuich. It has been reiterated the need to send details of any incidents to
me as the Safeguardin8 Co-ordinator. Failure to do this will be reported to the Trustees of the PCC as a Breach of the procedures
we have in place.
In 2025, 1 will be stepping down as the Safeguarding lead as I would need to attend a Leadership course.
2024 has seen the introduction of the Parlsh Dashboard. Because we have completed level three, we have been moved to level

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.

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.

Income
Our unrestricted voluntary income lincluding recovered taxl for the year amounted to just over £22. 000. 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.

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

Investment Policy
The charity IS granted power to invest In suitable Investments under the PCC Powers Measure 1956 and the Trustees Act 2000. As

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..
