All Saints, Church, Writtle Annual Report 2024 Administrative Infomiation All Saints Church is situated in Church Lane, Writtle. It is part of the Diocese of Chelmsford within the Church of England. The Corresponden￿ address is The Parish Office, All Saints Church, Church Lane, Writtle, Essex CM13EN. Email address.. [e-mail], website.. www.allsaintswrittle co uk The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical parish of Writtle is registered with the Charity Commission, registration number 1130967 with the working title of All Saints Writtle. 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 ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. Objectives and Activities 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 scripture, music and sacrament. When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, 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 maintain 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 8 self-funding entity that is expected to cover all its expenses from fees, fundraising and grants.

Electoral Roll As at 11th March 2026 there are 74 people on the Electoral Roll, 14 of whom live outside the parish. Since the last APCM in 2025, 12 people have joined the roll and one died. The Church Representation Rules require that every Parochial Church Council maintains an Electoral roll. Electoral Rolls need to be revised annually. Hazel Kempton, Electoral Roll Officer Achievements and Performance Review of the period At Writtle, the pattern of services remained the usual 1st and 3rd Sundays being Holy Communion led by the Priest-in-charge. The 4th Sundays have now welcomed the return of the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) service at 8am. Messy Church has changed to the 2nd Sundays of the month at 10am, led by Frances Couch. Frances is very much involved in leading Messy Church, and it has become a firm part of the worship pattern now with many local families bringing their children along. The energy and skill of our congregation members who give of their time to doing so much in and for the community is astounding, and I thank them all very much indeed. Worship and prayer We continued with the pattern of worship ServI￿S as shown above, along with 8am on Sunday mornings of 2025 online on our YouTube channel called Writtle with Highwood and RoxLvell churches, while Home Communion has been laken to those requesting it. Joint Services for all 3 churches (Writtle, Highwood, and Roxwell) were held on Ash Wednesday, Rogation, and Trinity Sunday. The current pattern is likely lo continue for the foreseeable future, and we remain open to seeing what God may have in store in the future. The Mission and Ministry Partnership (made up of St. Andrew's, As￿nsIOn with All Saints, Writtle with Highwood, and Roxwell churches) continues to work together, support each other's parishes and try to be more co-ordinated in the collective approach to mission and ministry. This year our MMP was successful in getting a grant from the Diocesan Mission Opportunities Fund (MOF) that has enable us to hire an Administrator to work across the parishes. Helen Marriner has taken on the role with real professionalism and effectiveness, and we really hope that she can continue into the following years - funding the post will take some faith and creativity. New groups Young'uns During Advent, Rev Tony started a new group of young people from late primary to secondary ages who were keen to study the Bible and get to know God for themselves.

This has been really well received by the young'uns and their families, and they want to continue into 2026. They meet each Tuesday afternoon after school for an hour. ChooseDay Church Several years ago, Rev Tony started a course for young adults who were keen to find out more about God and engage with the Bible for themselves. This has been very successful with a core group of them becoming solid disciples of Jesus, who are also very supportive of one another Ihrough their various stages of life, family and work. They meet each Tuesday evening for an hour and a half. Rev Tony Cant Priest-in-charge. Treasurer's Financial Report for 2025 Introduction Churches are finding it increasingly difficult to find people willing to take on the responsibility of being a Treasurer. I was happy to take on the job after Charlie Charlick came forward to share what is a considerable work load. While I look after accounting, investment, gift aid and such like, Charlie sets up payments, does the banking and raises church invoices. We have simplified several processes and we are working well together. Financial review of the year l am pleased to be able to report a small Surplus for the year of £4,279 (2024.. £34,065). The Surplus would have been significantly higher had the Christian Centre not had to pay for property repairs costs that were both exceptional and substantial. The Church and the Christian Centre's results for the year need to be considered separately.. Church Activities Christian Centre Total for 2025 Total for 2024 Income Costs and out oin Gains and losses on investments Sur lusl deficit for the ear 138,028 107,367 3,420 27,241 70,059 93,021 208,087 200,388 3,420 4,279 209,821 176,925 1,169 34,065 22,962 Before moving on, it must be said that although we have again reported a surplus, our financial position is more fragile than it appears. Church income is under increasing pressure, as it is for parishes across the entire country. In our case we are fortunate, as we have been able to build up sufficient reserves to give us a solid financial foundation. Church Activities The Church's activities produced a Surplus for the year of £27,241 (2024.. £7,922).

Income totalled £138,028 for the year (2024.. £142,579}. Our principal SoUr￿S of income are the congregation's donations, fund raising, paroGhial fees and investment income. I would like to highlight three trends= Our committed and sizeable congregation contributes a core of regular and recurring income by way of standing orders and the plate collections, which taken together amounted to £40,602 for the year (2024.. £44,149}. This is by any yardstick impressive, but, this key source of income Is declining as our congregation "ages" General donations by members of the congregation and friends of the church may not be as "regular" but they really add up and amounted to £32,782 for the year (2024.. £14,064). Although we can't anticipate the timing of when a donor may make a large donation for a specific purpose, when they do these donations make a huge difference- the three largest donations in 2025 accounted for £29,000 of the general donations. Fund raising efforts deserve a special mention. A small group of committed individuals drives our fundraising with great success. The Christmas Tree Festival raised £8,256 and in total fundraising came to £15,827 for the year (2024-. £16,807). A big thank you to everyone involved, but can this success be built on in future. The Church's expenditure for the year amounted to £107,367 (2024.. £135,826). This falls into three broad categories.. The Church is well able to afford the basic costs of running and maintaining the church, before paying Parish Share these costs amounted to £54,743 (2024.. £62,207). The Parish Share funds the stipends, housing and training of the clergy as well as Diocesan support services. Parish Share was levied at a similar level to the previous year but at a cost of £49,204 it is a significant burden, which an increasing number of parish churches fail to pay in full (2024.. £49,109). The final challenge is to fund building work to maintain the church. The only "major" building work last year was widening the door in the North Porch - at a cost of £3,420 {2024= major works were £24,510). During the current year building work is undetway in the South Porch to improve storage and repair stonework. This work will be more significant and we will have to meet the cost by drawing on our reserves. Christian Centre The Christian Centre in any other year could be relied on to add to the Surplus from the Church's aotivities, but not so this year, as we had to pay for exceptionally costly repairs to the flat roof during the year. The repair work undertaken by Emperor Roofing was completed at a cost of £42,841. The cost of these works to us was somewhat lower, as we received grants amounting to £6,000 to part fund the repairs. The Centre's total costs for the year were pushed up by the roof repairs to £93,021 (2024.. £41,099). The Centre's income from hall hire was slightly down, coming in at £63,739 for the year (2024.. £87,242). Finally, in the round, the Centre reported a Deficit of £22,962 for the year (2024.. a Surplus of £26,143).

Reserves Policy Reserves increased by the surplus for the year to stand at £340,062 on 3181 December 2025. The Church's policy is to maintain reserves equal to at least three months of unrestricted expenditure. The reserves to comply with the policy have been calculated lo be £24,000. The Church holds more than sufficient cash at the bank and on short-term deposit to support the policy although it should be noted that, strictly, the reserves designated as "unrestricted" amount to £59,232 as at 31 December 2025. The reserves above the level required by the policy are being held for future building work, including work arising from the quinquennial review and the possibility of a major project for a new heating system. The church is fortunate to have reserves but they are finite and at some stage we may need a fund raising campaign to fund major building work. Investment strategy Reserves are held primarily as cash at the bank or on short term deposit. The proportion of reserves held as cash was 650/0 at the end of the year. Deposits continue to pay higher than expected interest rates. The Church of England Deposit Fund is paying interest at Cash deposits may 'Yeel safe" but their real value tends to be steadily eroded as interest rates rarely cover inflation - for example, as has been the case over the last three years. In contrast, stock markets have historically delivered higher returns albeit in return for a￿ptIng some risk. Stock markets are 'lumpy" and volatile, but investors accept these risks because historically shares have delivered much higher returns over longer periods of time. It is against this background that we increased our holding in the Church of England Investment Fund by a further £70,000 over the year. The Fund runs a balanced portfolio of bonds, commercial propety and shares which currently pay a gross dividend yield of 2.92 % pa. The Fund has performed well in recent years, although last year it posted a loss of £1,208 on revaluation at the end of the year. The proportion of reserves held in our investment funds was 35 /0 at the end of the year. Churchwardens Report Prior to the APCM, Fran￿S stood down as warden and, at the meeting, Sally was appointed. As Frances was due to have an operation, Sally took on duties whilst warden elect. Church lrfe has been busy with weddings, baptisms and, sadly funerals. The pattern of services has, of necessity had to reflect that Rev Tony has responsibilities at Roxwell, as well as here in Writtle, and we have all had lo get used to changes. We were delighted that attendance at our Christmas services was higher than for many years, with standing room only at our crib service. We have hosted both infant and junior schools, as well as Anglia Ruskin University for services and, for the university, their FE Presentation Day. It is always good to see the church used by organisations in the village.

During the early summer we were pleased to host friends and family of Rev Canon John Howden, as he celebrated his lasl Eucharisl, We were joined by our friends from St Michael and All Angels, Roxwell for the service, after which we enjoyed wine and cake. We presented John with a cheque, as a token of our gratitude for all his years of service to our churches. In September, following the completion of his curacy, we said farewell to Father John Bloomer. During his last service we presented him with a Chasuble and stole, a gift from Wriftle, Roxwell and Highwood. We celebrated with a bring and share lunch in the Christian Centre, hosted by all three churches. The annual Christmas Tree Festival took place in December raising over 8000 for church funds. Building maintenance is an ongoing issue, and we are grateful to those who serve on the Fabric Committee lo ensure that we keep on top of things. The Social and Fundraising Committee have worked hard to provide us with entertainment throughout the year, as well as raising necessary funds for the church. Tuesday coffee mornings are more popular than ever, and they provide a social outlet for many villagers, as well as members of our congregation. Edward Bear Club meets on a Monday afternoon during term time, attended by toddlers and carers, when they enjoy simple worship, craft activities play and chat. Messy Church has now become a regular part of monthly worship, attended by families and some members of our regular congregation. We are immensely grateful to all who support those activities, as well as all those people who work tirelessly to keep the church clean and warm, to keep the doors open for visitors, to clean the toilet, to provide refreshments, to assist at services, to keep the churchyard tidy and lo help in the offi￿. You all play a vital part in the life of All Saints. Finally, thank you to those who serve on the PCC, both officers and other elected members. We look forward to working with you again in 2026. Sally Cansdale and Tony Ripton Fabric Committee Members.. Chair Secretary.. Co-opted." Tony Ripton (Churchwarden) Denis Lloyd Christine Pendrill, Roger Pendnll, Kevin Marten. The committee has responsibility for day to day maintenance of the church and the churchyard to ensure that they can be safely used by the people of the parish. This includes boiler maintenance, church cleaning and tidying of the churchyard, including pruning of trees and where necessary strimming of overgrown vegetation. We would like to thank everyone who turns up for DIY days and church cleaning as their help is invaluable in completing the tasks.

The Committee has continued to commission work to maintain the building, grounds and seek ways to improve the running of the building in the short and long term. 1. Building Works The South Porch has been repointed which means that it will be more weatherproof and the inside walls will be dryer. The refurbishment of the South Porch arch is expected in spring 202611 should be noted that repairs to church buildings will attract VAT from the new financial year. 2. Heating The current oil fired boiler is getting old and the Diocese has identified the Church as one of the top users of energy. As a result we are getting a report from a Diocese funded consultant to review our system and make suggestions for the way forward. It has already been noted that we expect to have to repla￿ the boiler within the next 5 years. The aim is to reduce the loss of heat from draughts and everyone is requested to keep doors into the Sanctuary closed as much as possible to preserve the heat. The motor in the boiler failed early December and needed replacing which had quite an effect on the comfort level during a cold spell. 3. Gardening The Community Payback Scheme did a lot of good work during the year supplementing the work of the gardener cutting the grass. At the end of the year, the supervisor retired which means that they are not coming at the moment due to a lack of staff. 4. Lighting A project is under way to convert the remaining "old" lights to LED to reduce costs and help reduce our carbon footprint. This is being funded by a Church of England grant. Volunteers The PCC is eternally grateful for all the time and effort given so freely by all who contribute 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 Gods love for all the people of 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 congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our services I members of the congregation are encouraged to 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 the PCC are to be spent. The full PCC met three times during the year. All meetings have been quorate. The required Standing items have been on the Agenda at each meeting to ensure compliance with requirements. These include reports on sub-committeelgroup meetings, financial reports and safeguarding. Regular reports are also received from other groups connected to the church. 10

MMP Administrator Update I began my role as Administratorforthe MMP in September2025 and have now been in post for six months. During this time. I have immersed myself in administrative duties across the four churches within the MMP. My role and responsibilities vary across the differentchurches. however. the majority of my time has been spent supporting Rev Tony and the church family atAII Saints. Everyone has been extremely welcoming, and I have really enjoyed getting to know the congregation s and the different ways each church operates. In particu lar, I look foDNard to Mondays when l am based in the office at All Saints and have the opportunity to liaise with a variety of visitors and members of the church community. Over the past few months, I have enjoyed introducing clearer processes to ou r ways of working and helping to streamline some administrative tasks. I have also spenttime designing engaging posters to help promote seNices and events across trie churches. One development I have introduced is a weekly newslettercovering both All Saints and Roxwell. This has been well received. and we have seen a sleady increase in the number 13

of people signing up to our mailing list. helping us to communicate more effectively with the widerchurch community. l am currently looking at how we can further unite and fully utilise Ihe IKnow Church platfomi for administrative tasks. My aim is that this will allow better reporting. more tsrgeled communications, ana. the developmentof an onlineadministrative manual thatwill help ensure the church administration is consistent and future-proof. Finally, l am managing the Open Gardens event this yearand look forward to hopefully making a positive impact and difference through this and other initiatives as I continue in Ihe role.

On average we have 6 one-off hires per month which provides useful income in addition to our regular hirers and allowed us to again 'grant' the church £5,000 atthe end of the year. The major project in the year was the new flat roof over the foyer. entrance, conidor and toiletareas. We were delighted to receive several grants from the Fowler. Smilh & Jones Trust, Thomas Amos Charity, Provsde Community NHS and the Bemard Sunley Foundation as well as some local fundraising. The new roof was completed in two weeks during a particularly kind period of weather and will last for 25 years or more. The financial position remains good. but we continue to fa￿ significant challenges in meeting rising costs for cleaning and utilities. A review of our charging regime resulted in an increase from 1 January 2026 and ourhire fees will increase again in 2027. During the year the Managementcommittee met fivetimes to discuss manyaspects of the running of the Centre and receive reports from the Manager as well as financial reports. Lookn'ng ahead to 2026, we will continue with intemal improvements as funds allow. redecorating the kitchen, redecoration of the communal areas, new nOts￿bOardS, installing an extractor fan and redecoration of the kitchen. a canopy over the entrance and new extemal signage. The Centre is extremely well used throughout the week with many regular hirers.

We have a summer picnic when we say farewell to those who are starting school and a Christmas party with games and a visit from Father Christmas. This yearwe had a reallygood core of children and theircarers who made firm friendswi each other. which reallyhelpedwith theirtransition to nursery and ultimatelyfor when they started school in September. We have also had some new babies and their mums this year who are making friends, and their little ones are leaming to get about and join in the fun! Sadly as we had to say goodbye to ten of our children who started school in September, it is now a much smaller group which leaves lots of room for others to join us. New members are always made very welcome and we adapt our activities to suit the ages of those who attend. Our loyal team who come along to make the tealcoffee and chatto thosewho come along have been invaluable: we thank Ihem as well as Jean Rose who keeps up in tune wilh her piano-playing to accompany our songs!

Rainbows Rainbows had a change of leadership and moved meeting night and venue. There continues to be a long waib'ng listfor Rainbows and we could easily fill a second unit if we had enough leaders. Margaret Loster Messy Church Its hard to believe that Messy Church has now been atAII Saints forover 2 years. we lebrated our 2nd birthday in October 2025. We now meet on the 2nd Sunday of the month as itfits in betterwith school holidays etc. Last year we used Heroes of the Bible as ourtheme including Noah, Daniel, Joseph, Moses, Gideon and Samuel. sin￿ September we have been following material provided by Messy Church on 12 Christian values and we have looked at Hope, Thankfulness, Love. Perseverance, Joy and Courage so far. Phil Couch continues to prepare and lead the small discussion groups in the small chapel which links in with the theme of the moming which is always thought provoking and interesting and gives an opportunity forlhose who wish to chat and share in a small group. We start our momingwith a wide variety of crafts, activities, games etc. which are linked to the bible Vtrrse and theme this gives us an opporlunity to chat to the children on a one to one basis before moving into the pews for a time of worship. singing and prayer. We have recently started to have one activity more suitable for older children in March we had them making bread in the air fryerwhich was very popular. The moming closes with everyone enjoying tea. coffeeand refreshments which gives everyone time to calch up and mingle. We entered the Christmas Tree Festival ag3in Ihis year and ourLEe was called A F.lo-t of Heavenly Angels and ourtree looked like an angel and was decorated by angels the children had made themselves. 18

I would like to share an email thatwe re￿iVed from one of the parents who attends Messy Church afterour Sunday on thankfulness. °In all things we want for our children. a strong faith and spirituality is among the most important. In such a demanding and frantic wortd, ourfaith gives us hope and grounding. Attending church gives us b'me to slow down reflect and regain some perspective. Messy Church has provided a great opportunity for the children (and us) to do this and we hope as they grow. they will continue to enjoy attending church. We wanted you all to know Messy Church has made a huge differenGe to us. we are very grateful" We look fomard to the futu re with great anticipation and excitement and would contin ue to ask you to pray forthose whowill come on a Sundayand those involved with the planning and leading. We thank God forthose who have come foDNard to assist overthe past months. We look forward to welcoming you in the months to come. Frances Lloyd and Ihe team Music Music has continued to play a very important role within the life and worship atAII Saints, th is year. Choirnumbers have grown encouragingly, and members have been busy singing in each of our services. festival days, weddings and funerals. Choir members have performed many beautiful songs. including new anthems. We have also listened to special reflection songs, each conveying a message in keeping with our themes and prayers. Messy Church services have seen lots of toddlers. children and young people enthusiasticallyjoining in with songs, actions and playing instruments. Children have also begun to play the piano.ioining in at thefront when the songshave been perfomied, whith has been brilliantto see and hear. Nicky, our Director of Music, has registered us with the new RSCM youth Choir Project, so that support and reSoU￿S will be made available to help continue growing the Involvement of young people forthe future. We have taken part in manypint servI￿S with our partner churches this year, and it has been fantastic toioin forces musically. tt has also been uplifting to hearthe congregation singing joyfully during each of our services.

Together with the Craft Fair, the event raised a lidle over£8,000: a magnificent amount. The preview reception. which was generously sponsored by Ellie & Rob of the Rose & Crown, was well attended by the exhibitors. The Guest of Honour. Chainnan of Parish Writtle Council.

No such donations were made this time around. The Festival Committee, atourfirst meets'ng in 2026, decided to take the positive- tskings were up.

Pam Butt Tuesday Coffee Mornings Every Tuesday moming be￿een 30 and 40 folk visitAII Saints church to enpy each otherfs company and a cup of coffee. There are biscuits and cake. sometimes sausage rolls or bread pudding. Butforthose who come it is the very lively chatthat obviously attracts. All of us who come are hugely grateful to the volunteers who set out the tables, make trie coffee, and do the washing up. We do pay a small amountforthe coffee and once the costs are me( the profit goes to charity. Whatdo the regulars think of it all? Quotes Include,"I wouldn't miss If, "l always leam something new" I catch up with village news" Some simply would not miss it for all the tea in China. even though the coffee is instant, and some bring their own drink in a flask. There are three long tables. Iwo habitually populated by the ladies and the other by the gentlemen. Over the year attempts have been made to change this pattem, to facilitate mixed tables. Butfor whatever reason this has failed. Maybe it is the tslk of cars and boys toys that is not pleasing to the ladies. Although there is a regular clientele with one or two 21

new people each week, we can find space for more so why not pitch up to All Saints at 10.30 on a Tuesday moming. We would love to see you, AND we do need more to go on the coffee seNing rotal John Howden, regularTuesday moming coffee goer. Pastoral Care Teams Heallng Ministry Development Team Members..

Christians Together Meetings Christians Together Contact.. Geoff Clart(e We have not formally met in Writtle over the past year but those concemed about ecumenical cooperalSon support the prlnciple just as much. It is clear we can do this effectively through the Ctic (Christians together in Chelmsford)and many opportunities to join with other churches activities arise every week and are well and timely flagged by Richard Cecil ,Secretary to Ctic in his regular e mails. His e mail was noted lastyear but here it is again [e-mail] ( Let us know if you have any problems with that). There is al80 a need trj support the work of CTIC by a donation from the many churches there are, butthis has not been fhe priority it should be as. for example, reasonable funds are needed to support Ihe excellent Good Friday witness service and fringe activities around itwhich seek to imaginatively presentthe faith. One of us has again donated £300.00 to help the cause, but it should be part of the agenda of all the churches. Good news is thatas partof the tithing discussion Wrfttle All Saints PCC elected to offer an annual donation and contributed £350 for 2025 Good Friday. Back to Writtle we noted laslyearthattwo other churches have sprung up, meeting in the Christian centre and Writtle College, as well as Ihe Refuge church so it is important thatwe think about, at least, some ways in which we can show shared witness in the village. More progress needs to be made in sharing ourdifferentapproacheswith the other churches in Writtle. Geoff Clathe Common Prayer Taizé style Contact..
