Aim and purposes
All Saints. Parochial Church Council {PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the
incumbent, Rev Tony Cant, in promoting in the ecclesiastiGal parish. the whole mission of
the Church, pastoral, evangelistic. social and ecumenical.
Objectlves and Actlvltles
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church
and to become part of our parish community at All Saints. The PCC maintains an overview
of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve
the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into
practice through prayer and scriplure, music and sacrament. When planning our activities
for the year. we have considered the Commission's guidan on public benefit and, in
particular. tha supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In
partscular. we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish
community through:
Worship and prayer: learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge
and trust in Jesus.
Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish.
Missionary and outreach work.
To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintsin the fabric of the Church of All Saints
and the Christian Centre. The PCC subcommittee has responsibility for the maintenance
of the Christian Centre, Writtle. It is a self-funding entty that is expected to cover all its
expenses from feos, fundraising and grdnts.
Achievements and Perfonnance
Revlew of tha period
At Writtle, the pattern of services remained the usual 1° and 3td Sundays being Holy
Communion led by the Priest-in-charge. with 2" Sundays Holy Communion service led by
Rev John Howden, and the 4th Sundays led by our Authorised Local Preachers,
Richard Oscroft and FranS Couch.
Our new Curate, Fr. John Bloomer started with us in September and has become a very
welcome and popular addition to the ministry team.
The energy and skill of our congregation members who give of their time to doing so much
in and for the community is aslounding. and l thank them all very much indeed.
Worship and prayer
We continued with the paltern of worship services held at 10am on Thursday mornings,
and 8am on Sunday mornings of 2022 online on our YouTube channel called Writtle wilh
Highwood and Roxwell churches, while Home Communion has been taken to those
requesting it.
Joint Services for all 3 churches {Writtle, Highwood, and Roxwell) were held on Trinity
Sunday, Christ the King, and Candlemas.
The Mission and Ministry Partnership (made up of St. Andrew's, Ascension with All Saints,
Writtle with Highwood, and Roxwell churches) has formed, and is learning how to work
together, support each other's parishes and try to be more Go-ordinated in the collective
approach to mission and ministry.
The current paltern is likely to continue for the foreseeable future and we remain open to
seeing what God may have in store in the ftjture.
Rev Tony Cant
Priest-in-charge.
Churchwardens Report
As we look baGk over the past twelve months we have commemorated many milestone
events in our country including the Platinum Jubilee and sadly followed by mourning the
death of Queen Elizabeth and the more rent coronation of King Charles 111. All Saints
has been at the Gentre of these events in our village. The Bishop of Bradwell and Rev
Tony also led a service to celebrate the Centenary for the 2MT Marconi whiGh was an
important event for Writlle. For individuals the church plays an important role as they
come to mark family occasions such as funerals, weddings and baptisms.
We are blessed to have Rev Tony leading us and we thank him for his continuing
guidance, support and love.
We have welcomed Rev John Bloomer and Mary to our GhurGh fafflily as he supports Tony
within the parish as curate as part of his role he is also Chaplain at Writtle University
College and we look fonmard lo celebrating his ordination as a priest later in the year.
All Saints has been able to celebrate and hold all the major feslivals during the year
without any restrictions and it has been a joy to see the church full on Mothering Sunday
8nd see the uniformed organisations taking part. The church is also busy during the week
with Edward Bear and the Tuesday Coffee Morning becoming very popular.
The MMP conlinues to grow and it was decided to hold an event which took place in
November whereby all the church officers got together to meet and have a chance to learn
from one another and share thoughts and ideas. The event was very successful.
Bishop Gull also visited us as part of her Lenten Pilgrimage across the Diocese Ihis year
and she had lunch with the Link Club before setting off.
The church continues lo receive many visitors from Chelmsford and beyond and we have
many kind and appreciative comments in our visilors book saying how much they value
the opportunity to Gome inside as so many churches are not always open. We are very
grateful for those who are on the rota opening the church each day.
The Fabric Committee continue to work hard ensuring the we can worship in a warm. safe
and dry church and meet regularly to Carry out recommendations from the Quinquennial
inspection. All Saints has also been challenged like all home owners in the last year with
rising fuel costs and the cost of living which means that all finanGial giving is extremely
appreciated and enables the work of the church to continue.
All Saints has also been very active supporting and fundraising for refugees fleeing the
war in Ukraine and the setting up a hub offering practical help to those in need in our
region.
We have had many SUGGessful and enjoyable fund raising events, ChristTnas Tree Festival,
Film evening, Plant Sale to name but a few and we have also raised money for Sanctus
through the Lent lunches, Macmillan coffee moming, collections for the Food Bank and
Homeless shelter together with the Chrislmas Toy appeal.
The churchwardens would like to thank all those who freely give of their time in so many
ways so that all the events and services are able to take place and we 8re able to serve
and be at the heart of our village.
FranS Lloyd and Tony Ripton, Church Wardens
Elecloral Roll
As at 21-5-2023 there were 112 people on the Electoral Roll, 30 of whom live outside the
parish. Since the last APCM:1 person has joined the roll, 5 people have left the roll - 1
died, 4 moved away.
Hazel Kempton, Electoral Roll Officer
Deanery Synod
Three members of the PCC sit on the deanery synod. This provides the PCC with an
important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church. The Deanery
synod has allowed us to benefit from viewing reports from various aspects of deanery
work, and always provides a useful opporturiity to network and share knowledge and ideas
with others.
Deanery Synod meetings are held approximately every 3 month and in the present form
representing combined Chelmsford North and South deaneries are 2 years old. They have
been attended by Diana Day, Geoff Clarke, Hazel Kempton along with Rev Tony Cant
from All saints. In 2022 we had the 7th meeting on 8.6.22 where the main fealures were to
hear how St John's Church Moulsham had responded to the Ukrainian resettlement
scheme, plus we heard from Jenny Clayton on Ihe work of the St Vincent de Paul Charity
of which there are many branches across the country. Each branch might do different
things aGGording to local need such as helping with provision of furniture and various
needs to SUPF)Ort ongoing basic daily living.
Bishop Gull attended the synod meeting on 6.9.22. After information on the parish share
scheme, Bishop Gull joined us, giving an ad hoc talk. as is her approach to Deanery
Synods, being guided by the Holy Spirit her aim. It proved to be a very interesting
encounter and the minutes from the meeting show that, too lengthy to reprodu
here{available on request) She talked of 'scraping the surface of such a richly diverse
diocese, at this stage.
The meeling on 1.12.22 the 9th was held a Beaulieu and featured Rev Dan Pier
appointed to Sl Francis Church in 2018. His approach had been to respond to residents
abilities and inpLJt, being led by their needs rather than conforming to any too rigid laid
down structure. Again some interesting minLJtes are available. There was also quite a bit of
input on the parish share scheme at this meeting.

Writtle Christian Centre
2022 began with the spectre of Covid still evident- hand sanitiser and face Coverings
were reGommended although all restrictions were lifted by March. Most hirers returned
and adjusted their hours to suit their new needs. Some too have come and gone in the
yearl In January, Provide, who deliver a broad range of health and social care services in
the community, started two COPD exerciselrehab classes on Monday and Wednesday
mornings with a long-covid COPD class on a Monday afternoon. The long-covid class
was later extended to all day Tuesday. One-off hires have also increased with many
children's parties and family events. On average wè have 6 one-off hires per month which
provides useful income in addition to our regular hirers
The major damp works, agreed with the PCC, began in the summer and work (o th8 renew
the guttering and downpipes to Church Lane and the front aspect of the older part of the
building and removal of the hardstanding at the rear gate and installation of kerbing to
divert rainwater run-off from Pump Lane was compSeted. Sadly, later in the year a
Sainsbury delivery van hit the new Gast iron guttering in Church Lane causing much
damage albeit they accepted liability and essential repairs were completed. At the end of
July, work started on the removal of the hardstanding to the right of main entrance, a new
retaining wall and handrail were installed, the ground levelled and limestone chippings
added to aid drying of the subsoil. However, new iSSLses came to the fore which delayed
Ihe workl Torrential rain in August, caused the Archive Room to flood. Fortunately, the
ArGhive ladies were in residence and they were able lo raise Ihe alarrn and move all floor
based valuables to higher ground. Removal of the flooring uncovering exposed rotten
parquet flooring caused by long-term damp although overall the floor was not as bad as
everyone expected. Repairs were Garried out under the auspices of Writtle Parish Council
with costs being shared.
During the year the Management Committee met seven times to discuss many aspects of
the running of the Centre and receive reports from the Manager as well as financial
reports. Looking ahead to 2023, there will be some major work to renew the guttering over
the Main Hall and associated drainage as well as Gonlinuing with internal improvements as
funds allow, such as the installation of new blinds, PIR lighting in the toilet areas and an
instantaneous boiling hot water tap in the kitchen. The Centre is very well used throughout
the week with over 20 regular hirers. New hirers come forward on a regular basis as the
Cenlre's reputation in the area grows. Indeed it has been described by one observer as
the 'busiest church hall he has ever seen. and he's seen a fewl

Overview
2022 seems lo have continued the pattern of the last few years, with the continuing fallout
from the COVID outbreak, the war in Eastern Europe and the subsequent energy, food
and cost of living crisis compounded by the economic and political changes al the heart of
our government. The start of 2023 is continuing this trend with the battle against inflation
still being at the forefront of attempts to return the economy to a sustainable stable and
hopefully growing position.
Despite all the above it is heart-warming that the people who attend and support our great
Ghurch of ALL SAINTS have once again showed their great generosity and continued to
give whether through standing orders, envelopes, collections, donations, charity appeals
and fundraising. TO ALL WE SAY THANK YOU.
During the last five years it is pleasing lo note that your charity has grown into a robust and
soundly financed entity valued al £173k in 2018 to £273k at the close of 2022. The
increasing interest rate environment will also have a positive impact on our investment
income in the coming months.
As highlighted last year our attention is turning from accumulating wealth to using monies
to fund essential fabric works and enhancements to the way we work. A tree review of Ihe
church and courtyard has been carried out and contract signed for the required works to
be completed {cost £4500), new office computer and software package purchased to
update our processes (cost £1400), the first part of the five yearly building review work is
being processed (with a value of £4500).
Spending money is the easy part, finding fresh funds every day. week, month and year to
keep the coffers filled is like the quest for the holy grail. But I know that you all will continue
to give in both money and time to continue our great mission at ALL SAINTS.
PCC General Fund
The standout view is of expenses rising from £86k in 2021 to £101 k in 2022 driven by the
rapidly rising inflation and prices. Income grew more modestly to £96k leaving a small
deficit to fund from the surplus in our Barclays Bank account. We were helped during the
year by successful Open Gardens and Christmas Tree Festival and Craft Fair events
which raised £6k and £8k respectively.
Energy costs continue to rise although we are hopeful that domestic retail prices will fall in
the coming months, as international prices continue to decline. Again we have been
helped by grants from the Diocese, individual donations for oil and our energy surcharge
policy to mitigate the financial Gosls to some extent.
PCC service pricing was reviewed and increased generally in line with inflation, following
similar acts'oll by the Church and Diocese, in order to conlinue to grow our income
revenues.
Going forward into 2023 after many years of debate and pressure from many, the Parish
Share calculations and figures have been reviewed and rejigged and for Writtle reduced.
RESERVES POLICY
It remains the PCC policy to maintain a balance of three months payments to cover
emergency situalions that may arise from time to time. This currently equates to a balance
of £25k.
The balance was much higher than needed in 2022 bul is gradually being eroded by the
small deficits on current spending which have occurred in the last few years.
Surplus funds are held first with Barclays Bank plc in a current account and then via a
sweep arrangement to a deposit account earning 0.80/0. Further monies are then invesled
in CCLA deposit account eaming 2°/0 and investment accounts earning up to 3 %.
A review of investing in higher yielding investments has been discussed by PCC standing
committee with a further review and discussion planned.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The trustees have considered the Charity Commission guidance on Public Benefit in
relation to churches as required. The Objectives and Achievements section of the trustees
report at the beginning, outline and expand upon Ihe public benefit obtained by the PCC.
Being at the centre of our Community in Writtle, Ihe Church, the Christian Centre and
Churchyard are by their very nature public spaces, open to the public and accessible to
them on a daily basis. We welcome visitors and passers-by to enjoy our 800 year old
church and its facilities. New benches have been installed to allow relaxed mediation in the
hurchyard, a public water pipe to allow the continued upkeep of graves, headstones and
floral displays and if you are lucky perhaps catch our award winning bell ringers performing
for a service or just practicing to keep at the top of their game.
The ViGarage is just a short walk away with the Rev Tony and wife Zoe (just recovered
from a successful hip operalion) often seen in the village using local facilities and chatting
to locals. As well as servicing his local churches Writtle, Roxwell and Highwood, his duties
extend to the City and West MMU grouping and attending meetings at the Diocese. To
provide some support our new Curate John Bloomer has arrived from Pleshey and been
installed as Chaplin at Writtle College, he will be ordained in October.
One of the missions of the Church is to support the local community through employing
local business, local people and craftsmen. Most who give their time and effort whether
voluntary or paid, live and work in the local area. Without this local community the Church
would simply nol sutyive. In 2022 the Austin 7 car rally started at Ihe Church, the Marconi
celebration was held, Ihe Friends of Writtle Operb Gardens was organized and our now
locally renowned Chrislmas Tree Festival and Craft Fair took place. All bring business and
people to the village and the Church.
Major work has been carried out at the Christian Centre and tree work in the churchyard
undertaken, all employing local business and hopefully enhancing the facilities in the
process.
We have continued our engagement with local schools to reconnect the younger
generation and encourage participalion in Church affairs. For those with a keen eye the
Labyrinth, designed and built by local children is now blooming in the churchyard. Rev
Tony's new Christian group of Ihe not too old and not too young is also bringing new life
into our ancient Church. Our quesl for a local youth worker Continues.
Volunteers
The PCC is very grateful for all the lime and effort given so freely by all who Gontribute in
so many different ways to our worship, stewardship of our building and finances, and the
flourishing of our spiritual, social and community life. We are here as a sign of God's love
for all the people or our village and beyond - this is your parish church, your community of
faith. ALL ARE WELCOME.
Structure, Governance and Management
The PCC is a team of people who, with the parish priest, oversee the life of the church, to
ensure we are focused on living out the Gospel. We aim to seek God's will, work well
together, reflect our values and take action for the future. The method of appointment of
PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At All Saints, the
membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent (our Priest-in-charge), churchwardens.
members elected by those members of the congregalion who are on the electoral roll of
the church. All those who attend our services I members of the congregation are
encouraged lo register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern
and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of Ihe PCC are lo be
spent. The full PCC met four times during the year. All meelings have been quorate. The
required Standing items have been on the Agenda at each meeting lo ensure complian
with requirements. These include reports on sub-committeelgroup meetings, financial
reports and safeguarding. Regular reports are also received from olher groups connected
to the church. The Standing Committee mel once on 05.09.22 in bebmeen PCC meetings.

Given its wide responsibilities the PCC has a number of committees each dealing wilh a
partlGular aspect of parish life. These committees, which include worship, mission and
outreach and fabric and finance, are all responsible lo the PCC and report back to it
regularfy with reports of their discussions being received by the full PCC.
The PCC is the arena al which different aspects of church life are brought together and
discussed and where decisions are made to approve new initialives and move them
forward.
The meetings are Ghaired by the Priest-in-charge and the membership includes those
elected at the APCM to serve on the PCC and Deanery Synod plus the Churchwardens
who are ex-officio members. In terms of the Charity Commission guidance, the members
of the PCC are the trustees.
Elections to specific roles {i.e. vice-Ghair. treasurer, secretary, electoral roll, safeguarding,
GDPR officer and membership of committees and of those who have particular roles within
the church) take place at the first PCC after the APCM. Each meeting has standard
agenda items, and include..
a report from Ihe Treasurer aboul the church finances.,
a report from the Chairman of the Fabric Committee about maintenance issues,.
a report from any sub-committees that have met since the last PCC meeting. and
correspondence and notices relating to the church.
The PCC makes decisions in all these areas as necessary. It approves the churGh
accounts at the meeting prior lo the APCM. In addition, time is set-aside in PCC meetings
lo discuss particular matters relating to church life both at All Saints and within the
deanery, the diocese and the wider Church of England. For matters which require a full
PCC decision, these groups bring a proposed resolution to the meeting. The Minutes of
each full meeting are available to those listed on the electoral role by making a request to
the secretary.
The PCC has responsibility for working with Rev Tony Cant on matters of general concern
and importance to Ihe parish, and promoting the whole mission of the Church in the parish.
It works for all in the parish not just on running the church building. The PCC listens and
debales so that they can hear God's wisdom even in Gomplicated situations. Sometimes
there are disagreements or hard decisions need to be made. The PCC keep God right at
the centre and trust that he is powerful and good enough to lead- taking time to focus and
listen to discern what he is saying and where he is leading us.
The PCC takes commitment, time, effort and dedication from those who serve on it. There
are many who do the hard work before and after PCC meetings by serving so faithfully on
the various church committees. Their contribulion to church life is often hidden. Our
thanks are due lo all those who serve in this way.
Also, it is right and proper to express Ihe thanks of the Parochial Church Council to all who
have helped with the life, work and ministry of All Saints. They are too many to name and
to add to the difficulty many offer their help and service anonymously. But whelher known
or unknown, upfront or backroom, high profile or anonymous, our deepest gratitude goes
to you.
Members of the congregation are welcome to bring any matters of concern at any time lo
our PCC lay representatives, or to volunteer to be a member of a particular group or
committee.

Responsible for running the annual Christmas Tree festival at All Saints Church, involving
individuals, organisations and businesses around the parish Ihereby generating church
funds.
We enjoyed a successful festival with increases in the number of trees and visitors. There
was real energy and excilement at the prospect of enjoying the festival without the
restrictions which the pandemic had placed on us for the previous two years.
We had over 2,000 visitors over the two days, raised over £8200, (which included some
generous donations) and the 51 trees were as inventive, beautiful and interesling as ever.
The winners were Barrow Farm Riding for the Disabled with 'Bootiful', Preston's Garage
with the 'Retyred Snowman,, Writtle Infant School's 'A Christmas Dinner, and Writtle Scout
Troop with '2MT'. The last prize was chosen by our guest openers at the Friday evening
preview who were the chairmen of Roxwell and Highwood parish councils. We had a
number of new entries, especially from the different Rotary clubs in Chelmsford. All the
new entrants said they had enjoyed the experience and will be back for 2023.
Young visitors enjoyed creating their own decorations and hunting for the knitted robins
hiding in the churchyard while the 25 stalls in the Craft Fayre offered lots of opportunities
for buying interesting Christmas presents. Chelmsford Morris, the Writtle Singers and the
Chelmsford Communily Gospel Choir entertained visilors. People serving refreshments
13
all day Saturday in the Christian Centre and in the church on Sunday afternoon were kept
very busy.
So many church members worked hard - helping to sel up, taking money on the door,
(where the card reader proved lo be a great success) counting and banking the money,

January 2022 saw our regular events, New Years Day with the Auslin 7 Club and their
generous donation of £92 and the Beetle Drive, free to participate but the most deliGiOUS
cakes donated.
John's Film show produced £518 and was well supported. Each year we have one or two
naw customers.
Lent Lunches were in aid of Ukaine and produced £865. We couldn't manage without the
tasty homemade soups provided by the committee. The Plant sale followed on 14th May
and then the QUEEN'S PLATINUM TEA PARTY. This was a huge success with
entertainment from Geoff and Isabel, singsong run by John and David on the piano.
Open gardens saw us providing lunches and teas in the Christian Centre.
In July and October we hosted concerts. The Chelmsford Male Voice Choir raised a profit
of £1,057-52 They only charge £50. Our second was The Essex Police Band who charge
£495. Our profit was £496 -72.
Of course we also organise social events such as Harvest lunch, Patronal Breakfast
helped by the Link Lunch committee, Pancake Supper, Labyrinth teas, MMP Inauguration
refreshments etc.
Thank you to the committee and others who provide raffle prizes and the much needed
cakes. None of the above could take place without their support.
Please do look for our events this year. There is bound to be something for you.
I must thank all the committee for their tireless support, enthusiasm and ideas.

Rosemary Macaulay, and Richard Oscrofl. Chris Pendrill
is part of the prayer team on Mondays al 12 noon.
Former members kept in touch during the past year via notes from meetings included Ken
Nunn, and Sue Tilley. (We are sad to report the recent passing of Sue, a faithful and keen
member of the healing ministry team over many years) The team have met four times
during the past year and notes from these meetings are available. They hopefully
represent a steady build in the pursuance of availability of healing ministry both during the
3rd Sunday service and at other times by appointment. We are proposing a short leaflet
describing the opportunities for healing ministry which will include the regular and faithful
prayers for healing and peace on Mondays at 12.00 noon to which new members are very
welcome. A prayer board for requests is available at the back of the church. People need
to be encouraged to use it, and also give updates on loved ones.

Christians Together Meetings
Christians Together Contact.. Geoff Clarke
Christians Together in Writtle has not met in Writtle over the past year although members
have been in touch and kept the ecumenical flag flying by supporting Ihe Christians
Together in Chelmsford {CTiCI. This included the Good Friday City Gentre Witness event
and also a lively AGM on November 22 at Life Church where many people shared good
news stories and updates, including one of us from Writtle. Other events include a
Penlocostal worship evening on 28th May, a prayer initiative on the streets where you live,
shop, work and visit. It is also important that churches in and around Chelrnsford support
this work by a regular donation which could be annually or a regular monthly sum. One of
us has already donated £250.00 as a contribulion from All Saints Writtle. This ongoing
support will be discussed at a forthcoming PCC meeting. New information regarding
prayer content as you travel around Chelmsford is available Contact
cticor
c 160176.h dns.net.
In recent days two other churches apart from the earlier Refuge Church meeting in the
former URC building, have sprung up in Writtle so it is important that we think about, at
least, some ways in which we can show shared witness in the village.
