Pastor Reorgan160tlon / N¢w Benefiee In the past year, we advertised for a new incutnbent for tiw joint benefice of Datchet, Eton, Bton Wick, Dorneyi and Boveney. Although th¢ interview proc&gs did not fesult in an appoinL'ment. we remaiii prayer1 and hopefiil thai God wlll provide the rigkntp¢rson to lttad and ullite our churches itito this next season of ministy. Finances Th¢ fa11 position at the start of the Ye was a signifLcant concern, prompting th¢ PCC to re.evalu&te wh&l' was Sustainable alld necdsary. To h¢lp us navigats this, the PCC spent a dedicated session with Joshua TownsotL the Dio¢¢s¢'s G¢n¢rous Giving Advisor, who glded us through s¢v¢ral key areas s¢en below.. - Explaining Need Clearly comtnunic&ting the fmaucial llecds of the chm'ch to the congregation ill a transpuent and'honest way. - Blllldlng Trust Creati'ng a culttire of openness and accountability so Ihat rn¢mbers feel Gonfident in how their Gontributi011s ate b¢ing used.

This session wa8 both encouraging and challenging. We recognise the importance of revisiting thege piinciples and taking thgm forward, particulai'ly once a iiew inoumb¢nt is in place lo help lead this work. Pastoral Care Pastoral ministy has been espeLially challenging'in the absence of a vicar. Howev, our ¢hw'¢hwardens and mcmbws of the Oongreg&ti{ have stepped up witb bry'eat dedication ¢0 ensure thut care and support continue, Datchet rn&LS a rlD80-knit ComUllity, attd it IS eVAdcnt that the ch.urch's pi'es¥nce and pastorn] outreach ue d¢eply appieciated, Sehools, Communlty and Outrea¢h "Open the Book coDtillues to be well-received at the local 'llary school, and our Messy Church gatI1lg$ at Eabter and Chrislnw have bcen joy1 occasions.

Th¢P rl8h fstm Thevi ort of the TtlJ5te FINANCL4L REVIEW Tlie 2024 results show 8 shortfall All our ability to'pay the thll PiSh share. The 2024 sbar¢ alloc&ÉAOll was £39,829 of which we man&g¢d to pay £24,000 leaving a shortfall of almost £16.000. With tbe new ch&nge in the Benefice oi alloration has reduGcd to £27,600 for 2025, Botb these allocations tak¢ into account the vacant vicar position and w¢ will continue to receive the 10 /D allowatt¢e iintil the position is fille Our T65uLts would have bcen even worse had we not received tbe very generous legacy of £10,000 Matthew jals. Income from stewardghiplplanned givtng, church hall lettings and general fundraising improved s1i8hÉty.
