## **Incumbent Report Vacancy**
## **PCC Vice Chairs observations of 2024 - Michael Meilton**
As outlined in the Ministry Leadership Team report below we have been without a Rector for the whole year, with the Rev Simon Dunn, moving to St. Peters Chippenham in February after taking leave for most of the period from Christmas 2023.
It has been a time when numerous members of the church have had to stand up to cover many additional roles, and it is right to thank in particular John & Jacqui Dymel who remained as Churchwardens and Nick and Julia Childerhouse, who shouldered the task of heading up the Ministry Team. So much work goes on behind the scenes that no one sees and those two couples have worked tirelessly over the year to “keep the show on the road”
We unfortunately lost James Morrey as our Office Administrator in the Spring as we went to a full time role at the Diocese. Apart for a few weeks in the summer, when we briefly had a new administrator in post, the role has been and continues to be covered by a number of volunteers. Thanks especially to Julie Swales and Ness Cooper in particular for standing in.
Despite the challenges, it is pleasing to see that life has continued at St. Pauls and we have made progress in a number of areas. St. Paul’s now has a new website that has been developed by Phil Crook, which continued to grow in visit numbers during 2024 after going live in the summer. We have hosted two Alpha Courses during 2024 and continue to support Alpha in 2025 as other churches around the town look to host it. As you read this report, you will see how our Youth Work has continued to flourish, as does the Monday Coffee Shop and the Sparks parents and toddlers group, all activities providing engagement with our local community.
St Peter’s Langley Burrell also continues to serve their community and congregation through 2024 through the efforts of Howard & Joy Morland and Hazel Sheldon.
I would finally like to thank my fellow PCC and DCC members for the additional tasks they have willingly taken on during 2024. It has been a challenging, but, when you reflect, also a rewarding year, moving the churches into 2025 with some momentum for the appointment , hopefully, of a new Rector for the Greenway Benefice.
## **2024 Annual Summary from Ministry Leadership Team**
## **Sunday services**
Most of 2024 was run in the absence of an incumbent as Rev. Si Dunn was on holiday in Jan and then left in Feb. Fortunately we have a strong team of Lay ministers and Benefice Worship Leaders, so were able to continue the usual pattern of Sunday services. Particular thanks are due to Nick and Julia Childerhouse, Lisa Wakefield and Judith Eckersley who have taken on the majority of service leading and preaching duties, but the whole team has provided invaluable support in a variety of ways and we want to thank Joy Webber, Becky Morrey, Kadie Needham, John Moncrief, Jacqui Dymel, Phil Townsend, Tanya Withers, and the wardens across the benefice.
With the support of various visiting priests we have been able to maintain a Holy Communion service for each church in the benefice most months – particular thanks to support from our Area Dean Sally Wheeler. We have also utilised some of the congregation as guest speakers, and a very helpful liturgy for lay led services has been used at both St Nicholas’ and St Peters.
Through 2024 we followed a number of different teaching series – when not following the Lectionary, we studied the Book of James, considered some of the Names of God in the Old Testament over the summer, and in the Autumn we based teaching around the “Holy Habits”. Looking forward we are starting 2025 going through the Gospel of Mark.
On top of the regular Sunday services we also held a number of important Extraordinary services
A Good Friday service was held jointly with the youth Easter activities at SPC, alongside a reflective service at SPLB.
At Easter and at the start of December SPC held two Adult Baptism Services, Archdeacon Adam Beaumont led both of these, with the youth band playing for the December celebration.
Through the year we had a small number of infant baptisms at all three churches.
Worship at Heavens Door met several Sunday evenings early in the year, and went on hold after the summer.
Across the Benefice we averaged one Funeral Service a month in support of our local communities, as well as multiple Internment of Ashes Services.
On Remembrance Sunday St Pauls hosted over 150 at the afternoon service for youth uniformed groups.
Christmas saw various Carol, Nativity and Midnight Communion Services across all three churches. There was also a Christingle at SPC that had standing room only!
## **Alpha Courses**
Greenways hadn’t held an adult Alpha course for many years. Following the great example in 2023 that some of our congregation attended at Station Hill Baptist, we decided to host one in the first half of the year. It was brilliant to see so many come along to help and familiarise themselves with the contents of the course. We were also joined by a team from the Salvation Army, and averaged about 35 each evening.
## **Diocesan Synod Report 2024** - **Julia Childerhouse**
This year saw the end of one Synod triennium (3-year stint), and elections to the next Synod, where myself and Phil Townsend were added to the 60+ lay members of the Diocese who help steer the direction and decisions of the whole Diocese alongside clergy colleagues.
There has been a wide variety of topics covered in the last year, with discussions and debate around Safeguarding within the Diocese, Carbon Net Zero by 2030 aims, the changes at the Board of Education, and the overall Diocesan strategic plan, Transforming Church Together (TCT). There have been regular updates about the ongoing CofE discussions on Living in Love and Faith, and the potential impact of the Prayers of Love and Faith on church congregations. We have also had an impactful presentation on the desperate need and opportunities to engage with u18s across the region.
In a time when finances are stretched in all directions, it is apparent that total Parish Share offerings do not cover the cost of all the clergy in our Diocese, so there has been much debate about core financial decisions, alongside the extra funding available from central CofE finances to support the strategic plans. This TCT funding has enabled appointments to work towards Inclusion and Racial Justice, and Priority urban areas (churches in low economic neighbourhoods), as well as building a network of Growing Faith chaplains.
These are all ongoing issues going into the coming year, but it is always encouraging to hear how other parts of the Diocese are building in the Kingdom of God in a diversity of ways.
## **Chippenham Deanery Synod 2024 - Phil Townsend**
At our April meeting we had a presentation from Safe Families, who support young families without other family close at hand. We also discussed Eco Church and the Deanery Mission Area Plan.
I am delighted that Nick Childerhouse and Stephen Cozens have joined me as Deanery Synod Representatives.
Unfortunately our July meeting was cancelled.
At our November meeting we had a getting to know session with Bishop Neil of Swindon. We also discussed working with North Wiltshire Deanery in areas of common interest. We thanked Rev Canon Sally Wheeler for 10 years as our Area Dean.
Rev Marc Terry, Rector of Bybrook Benefice has been appointed our new Area Dean.
The Churchwardens and PCCs of St. Andrew Chippenham, St. Peter Frogwell and Greenways Benefice have met to discuss the Mission Area. Michael Meilton has been representing Greenways Benefice in discussions with two incumbents about progressing the Mission Area during our vacancy.
## **Life at St. Paul’s**
## **St Paul’s Church Wardens report 2024**
As a church we have been very blessed this year with a significant number of new people joining us each week. Some are exploring faith and others have been drawn by the Lord into relationship with him. We have had several adult baptismal services over the course of the year with candidates testifying about what God has done in their lives. We have been able to share God’s love with our community with over 2000 people attending various Christmas services, with messy church, Sparks career and toddler group, a variety of youth activities, Coffee club and 2 Alpha courses. In November when Chippenham experienced significant flooding we were able to open our doors to provide for anyone who needed a dry warm space to come and use the building. We are currently hosting a number of children/youth activities on a temporary basis whilst their buildings are being reordered after the flood.
At the time of writing we have yet to appoint a new Rector. This has given rise to an increased work load for the Ministry Team and we would like to thank them for all their input which has made the Warden role significantly easier. We continue to have lots of the church members undertaking various tasks during services and our thanks go to Becky O’Brien who has organised the rota for this for a number of years. Thanks also to Helen Trigg who has now taken this task on. During the last year we have increased the number of Sunday Warden’s to allow fewer duty days. Thanks go to Lynn Evans who stepped down this year due to work pressures.
Jacqui Dymel and Kadie Needham have spent a significant number of hours in 2024 wrestling with the agreement drawn up between the church and Wiltshire council over the grant given in 2018 to refurbish the church hall. We finally received an agreement in December from Wiltshire Council that we are able to rent out the small hall once again. All the emails regarding this are kept in the safe.
John Dymel has patched the problem areas of the floor in the large church hall. We have had the roof fixed where it was leaking and both church and hall boilers have required ongoing maintenance this year. Both boilers are
coming to the end of their lives. Thanks to Roland for his input with heating issues. Other minor maintenance issues have been dealt with by Tony one of our cleaners who, going forward, will have more of a caretaker role. Repairs to the church roof are currently outstanding at time of writing.
John and I would like to thank everyone for their support, both practical and prayerful, following the death of my son last May. We have been wardens for over 3 years and, following such a horrendous year on a personal level along with my father having dementia and needing more help, we will be stepping down in July at the Archdeacon’s visitation.
## **John and Jacqui Dymel (Feb 2025)**
## **Youth, and Schools Ministry Report 2024** - **Joe Cooper (maternity Cover Youth Minister) and Rebecca Morrey**
During 2024 we had 129 young people attend one or more of our regular term-time church youth groups (Immerse, Spy, Ignite and God Squad). These are aimed at 11-18 year olds.
If you add in our other children’s and youth groups and the school Christian Unions we’ve had contact with about 350 under 18’s which is similar to last year. A good chunk of the young people do go to multiple groups. This does not include one off activities like messy church, The Hub, school lessons or church visits.
## **Maternity Leave**
In October Becky went on Maternity leave and In November Joe Copper took on the role as Youth Minister.
## **Youth Report**
## **SPY**
Spy is a group aimed at school years 6 to 9 (age 10-14) which meets term time on a Friday evenings. This group is for young people to come and have some fun in an evening filled with games, activities, lots of mess and a place to make friends. We also have a 5-minute slot where we have a discussion
about topics which are relevant to them and use that time for leaders to share a bit of their faith.
We have had an average 26 to each session this year and 100 different young people, plus seven 14–17 year old young leaders over the year.
As we have seen a slight decrease in young people, because more have aged out than we’ve had younger ones coming in. This year for leaders we have had a couple of new leaders join us but some have stepped away meaning that it is a bit harder to fill out the spaces, so we decided we can run on 4 leaders instead of 5 as our weekly numbers have slightly decreased and this has helped to make it easier for leaders to be more available.
A majority of the young people who attend were from outside the church. Also lots of families from here attending Messy church events.
Highlights of the year were having a silent disco as part of our Christmas celebrations and the nerf wars are always very popular.
Leaders involved regularly in 2024; Becky Morrey, Jonny Cooper, Charlie Meilton, Joe Cooper, Ness Cooper, Jane Bailey, Robyn Byatt, John Neale, Hil Wilson, Sarah Simpson, and Sophie Lambert. We also had some leaders help occasionally which include; Kadie Needham, David Owens, Tanya Withers, Sophie Oldacres, Joe Saunders and Luci Comport.
## **Ignite**
Ignite is a youth church which meets on a Sunday evening during term times for those in Secondary school (age 11-18). The group is made up from young people from St Pauls Church and a few from other churches or non-churched young people. This group has links with Station Hill Baptist, with a couple of the leaders coming from there who help.
This year we looked at a range of topics including; How to be a Christian when…, Big Questions (That the youth wrote down at the start of the term), Stories of Jesus’ miracles and healings as well as Prayer station evenings which they enjoyed and interacted with well.
Once a term we have our social nights, where we do things like, pizza making, taskmaster night, among us night, Christmas parties, fire pits, and prayer walks. At least once a month we have a young person’s band lead worship. This year we had lots that wanted to be involved so we used more of a rota system so that they could lead with different people each time. Each term some parents come in to lead worship as well.
Ignite had 43 different young people attend over the year with an average attendance of 17 young people each week.
Leaders involved in 2024; Becky Meilton, Nick Childerhouse, Chantal Bryan, Charmaine Elkerton, Jonny Cooper, Joe Cooper, Josh Hallett and Sophie Lambert .
## **God Squad**
God Squad is a group for those in school year 10-13 (14-18yrs). They meet on alternate weeks during term time, meeting in a different leader’s house each time. They have the chance to explore their faith and the Bible a bit deeper. The young people at God Squad choose what we study each term, and then each takes it in turns to lead the sessions. We looked at a number of things this year, Evidence for God, Worship song lyrics and what they mean, Christians we can learn from.
16 Young people attend over the year, with an average of 8 to each session.
Leaders involved in 2024; Becky Morrey, Joe Cooper, Elaine Jones, Sophie Lambert, and Chantal Bryan.
## **Immerse**
Immerse is for those who are in school years 7-11 (ages 11-16), during the 10am Church service.
We meet in the small hall. We covered a range so topics this year, we carried on following the Old Testament for the first half of the year and then we looked at Ephesians and our transformed lives for the rest of the year.
Throughout the year we had 36 different young people attend the group with an average of 10 there each session. The average number does not fully reflect the number of 11-16 year olds in the church, as very often there will be a few on the media desk, worship band, assisting the BSL interpreter or helping in Activ8, which we really encourage!
Leaders involved in 2024; Becky Morrey, Hannah Holden, Jonny Copper, Joe Cooper, Elaine Jones, Phil Townsend, Hugh Webber, Sophie Lambert, Kadie Needham, David Owen and Miranda Gibbs helping run it this year.
## **Youth Lead Services**
The aim is to have 3 youth led 10am Sunday services a year. The young people plan and run the whole service and have complete control of what they do.
- March – Parents in the Bible
- July – Persecuted Church
- December – Doctor Who themed Nativity where the Doctor travelled through time to get different people to complete the nativity story, including some medieval shepherds (Shepherds), Leonardo Di Vinci and assistant (Wise people) and Basil Faulty (Inn Keeper).
These are normally received quite well from the church congregation and always get positive feedback.
## **The Hub**
In the summer we ran The Hub, which was three Wednesday afternoons. This was a drop in safe place, for the young people to hang out. We had a tuck shop, pool, table football/tennis, games, and crafts available. It was open to 10-18 year olds. Over the three sessions we had about 35 Young people attend, with an average of 19 young people each week.
## **Trips and One off events**
Satellites - We took a group of 24 young people (plus a few more came for day visits) to Satellites during the summer holidays. It is a summer youth festival held at the Bath and West Showground near Shepton Mallet and is run by Youthscape. We had a fantastic week, worship God, spending time together, and having lots of fun. Everyone seemed to have a fantastic time!
**Ignite Family walk –** In July at the end of term we had a family walk up Cherhil White horse for all those who attend Ignite and their families were welcome to join us too.
Community Action Day – This year we held a community action day at the start of May. We split the day into two parts. We did a litter pick in the morning and a free car wash in the afternoon. We had 19 young people plus leaders involved altogether throughout the day including a couple of nonChristian youth from Spy which was nice to see that they wanted to join in.
## **Schools Work Report**
In both Hardenhuish and Sheldon secondary schools we run a lunch time Christian Union. In both schools some of those who attend are from St Paul’s church, or attend SPY. In both schools it is about 50/50 split to those with or without a faith.
A normal session normally has a game or activity loosely linked to a topic, and then a 5-10 minute deeper activity or talk to get them thinking about a faith issue. Lots of time is given to building relationships within the group, and they need time to relax and eat lunch as it is there lunch break.
The Christian unions have a team of us from a number of churches going into run them; they have consisted of; Sophie Lambert (Station Hill/ St Pauls), Becky Morrey (St Pauls), Lisa Wakefield (St Pauls), Dan Ovens (Corsham Baptist church), Charmaine Elkerton (Station Hill Baptist Church) ,Si Dunn (St Peters), Joe Cooper (St Pauls), and Joshua (Swym)
- Sheldon School We averaged about 10 each week. And have had about 30 different young people though out the school year.
- Hardenhuish School We averaged 21 each week with around 45 different young people having come over the year.
## **Lessons**
Becky was invited to go into Sheldon to do lessons as part of the relationship lessons they do in Year 10 once again this year. This consisted in 10 double lessons. The last few 2024 lessons were attended by other members of the schools team as Becky was away on Maternity leave.
Sheldon Year 7 was meant to have classes visits to the church in the summer term, but due to teacher shortages they couldn’t come, so Becky went into some of their lessons to talk about what is church, and give the young people the chance to ask questions.
## **School Church Visits**
At Christmas we had a number of schools coming and using the church for part of their Christmas celebrations including;
- Hardenhuish School music department came and put on their carol service for students and their parents, which was well attended.
- Hardenhuish year 7s Christmas end of term celebration were also held in the church.
- Silverwood School also came back to the building for their Christmas service.
- St Pauls Primary school also had their Christmas carol service with the school pupils and parents in the church.
- Sheldon held their Sixth Form Carol Service at St Nicolas Hardenhuish which Joe Cooper did the talk at.
Each of these visits had different members of St Pauls there representing the church and being there to help out where needed including Joe Cooper, Nick Childerhouse and Phil Townsend.
## **Childrens Ministry Report**
## **- Créche (0 3 years) 2023**
There is currently no ‘staffed’ crèche running during the church service. The facility is open with toys available for people to use at any time during the services.
## **- Sparks (0 5 years) 2024**
Sparks is a church outreach baby and toddler group for children 0-5 years old and their careers. Our aim is to take opportunities to share the Christian message with everyone who comes to SPARKS through our actions and words, we encouraging people to come along to Messy Church and seasonal Church celebrations. It is a popular group, run on a weekly basis and is very well attended. Approximately 20 families come to SPARKS each week, (this
equates to 24 children and 22 adults on average), almost none of whom regularly attend St. Pauls church. Over the last year we have seen about 130 different families.
Something that people like about Sparks is that it’s free, and that there is no need to sign up, this means that people can come for a few weeks, and miss a week without being kicked out the group. Which is why how many attend each week can vary greatly.
Each week we have a craft activity, lots of toys for the children to play with, while carers can socialise with each other and we serve them each a hot drink. After an hour of this we have a snack time for the children followed by time with a bible story and some songs.
We have seen lots of families from Sparks engage with messy church, Christmas fair and older siblings join Spy and Spy Kids.
Leaders involved in 2024; Becky Morrey, Ness Cooper, Joe Cooper, Mel and Mike Smith, Anne Showering, Jacqui Dymel, Di Hopper, Emma, Kadie Needham and Eve Cale
## **Active8 Report 2024**
Although we are small in number and cover quite a big age range the children enjoy coming over for their sessions which now includes the popular breakfast of toast, pain au chocolates etc.
The children have been involved with planting up new flower beds in the churchyard and in the garden area of the hall, as well as some lovely containers by the entrance to the hall. They really enjoy doing this and we hope it can continue into 2025.
Over the year the children have been learning about different themes from the bible.
The children have also been part of the Youth Services that have taken place over the year as well as sorting out and taking part in our Nativity which went really well.
At present in the Church we do not have a large number of families although activities such as Messy Church and Sparks generate good numbers of families it is working out a way to get these families to begin to come to Church.
The Activ8 leaders are Ness Cooper, Gemma Durnell Mary Fitzmeilton and Faith Ward. We are also assisted by Cath Bartlett, Anne and Joe Saunders, Julie Townsend and Tanya Withers and we extend our grateful thanks to them.
## **Spy Kids**
Spy Kids is for children school years 3-5 and meets every Thursday in the term time in the church.
The group is fairly similar to Spy, but for younger children. It too has lots of games and activities, with 5 minute “food for thought” thinking about our values and faith.
We had 33 different young people attend over the year, with an average each week of 9.
## **Messy Church**
## **Messy Church/ Family Events Report**
The Messy church team ran a few messy churches throughout the year, and also some family events.
All were really well attended, and we have seen families from Spy, Spy Kids and Sparks attend them. There are also families we are starting to recognise who are just attending these events.
## February Messy church
We held a pancake party as Shrove Tuesday fell in half term. There were pancake themed games and activities as well as lots to eat. We had about 150 people attend.
## · Messy Easter
We had various activities around the church and had 170 people attend.
## · June messy church
God creation. Well attended by families from children/ youth groups who don’t normally attend church
## · Picnic
We planned for this to be outside but it rained so moved to Church, but it still had a nice atmosphere.
## · Light Party
An alternative to Halloween. We saw just over 200 people attend! Lots of lights around the church, disco at one end and a few activities around the church.
- Christmas Fayre – messy church activities as part of the fayre.
## **Safeguarding Report 2024**
Julie Swales, Parish Safeguarding Officer, St Pauls Church Chippenham
## **Statement of commitment to Safeguarding:**
We continue to try and make our group of churches places where all people are welcomed into open and secure communities that make known Christ’s reconciling peace. The Greenways Parish is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults at risk.
## **Parish Safeguarding Officer Julie Swales**
## **Policies**
The Safeguarding Policy and Domestic Abuse Policy have been reviewed and have been agreed by the PCC at its meeting in October 2024.
## **Activities**
The PCC oversees all activities for Church/Young People or for vulnerable adults.
## **Safer Recruitment and DBS**
The PCC is responsible for the safe recruitment of people wanting to work with vulnerable groups through the activities at our group of Churches. Throughout the year numerous people have been recruited to support those groups.
## **DBS Checks**
As part of the safer recruitment process, where eligible, volunteers working with vulnerable groups have been DBS checked at the level appropriate to the role. Because the parish provides activities for vulnerable groups, the PCC members are also eligible for an enhanced DBS check. All current volunteers/PCC members who require a DBS check for their role have a current check (i.e. the check has been completed within the last three years).
## **Training**
Safeguarding training at different levels is a requirement for all roles. All safeguarding training is disseminated by the PSO to the various role holders and a record of training is kept (but only if PSO is notified).
The PSO has recently undertaken Safeguarding Dementia Training and disseminates information from the training body to the PCC/DCC.
## **Reporting to the PCC**
The PCC was updated about Safeguarding matters in the parish at its latest meeting. Safeguarding is a standing item at all DCC/PCC meetings. Julie Swales
## **Music Report 2024**
Sadly as a worship team we have become a bit depleted due to 2 keyboard players moving away. We are praying for more instrumentalists to be able to join us. However we have plenty of enthusiastic singers who are happy to ‘make a joyful (and in our case tuneful) noise to the Lord’. On the weeks that we are unable to provide live music we have begun using a computer program called ISing. This has received very favourable feedback from the congregation.
We continue to work in an inclusive way with people asked on a week by week basis via WhatsApp whether they are available to sing. We are always happy to have new people join us.
My thanks go to everyone who serves the Lord in this way.
## **Coffee Club 2024** – Jane Bailey
The Coffee club continues to run free, every Monday 2-4pm excluding Bank Holidays.
The team have recently carried out a risk review, agreed an Expected Behaviour policy which is on the SPC website and we discussed how to deal with vulnerable adults. The regulars continue to be very generous and the current donations stand at £956 which we use to fund church coffee supplies. We are hoping to buy a dolly for the armed wooden chairs and the remainder will go towards the “new loo and kitchen refurbishment”.
We regularly get 30+ attendees, occasionally mums and toddlers and vulnerable adults who use Doorway. We liaised with the Wiltshire rough sleeper team to help one lady, who was a homeless alcoholic in an abusive relationship, to get medical treatment and into safe accommodation. The Admin Office liaised with Salvation Army to open SPC early during the floods. We looked after one flood victim and her daughters whilst the MP arranged temporary accommodation for her. The Chippenham Chaplins team sometimes hold their Bible study meeting during coffeeclub and we hosted the visiting bell ringers recently. Many visitors say how nice it is to “see the doors open”.
We run occasional craft afternoons, usually at Christmas and Easter and hold a Christmas sing along.
The team is quite small with 6 people running it every week with a couple of regular helpers so it can be quite busy when members of the team are on holiday ;)
## **Prayer Ministry 2024 -** Maddy Crook
We have a Prayer Team who offer prayer on a regular basis after Sunday services; we are a small group of people who feel called to pray with others. All the team are DBS checked, have undergone Safeguarding training and are experienced in offering prayer.
I would encourage you all to come forward for prayer whenever this is offered. However please remember we can all pray and I would encourage you all to pray for and with each other as the need arises.
If you have any concerns regarding safeguarding, please contact:
Julie Swales: 01249 6508371249 650837 01249
Please do contact a member of the Ministry Team if you need pastoral or prayer support.

## **St Paul’s Church Mission Support 2024 -** Michael Meilton
St Paul’s Church has traditionally supported Mission and the Church Mission Society (CMS) and Church Mission Partners with prayer and financial support. This has been historically through an element of the Church tithe, which has supported both the CMS General Fund and our CMS Mission Partners Garry Ion and Katia Rocks.
Garry is currently working with the Diocese of Carlisle and their charity 'Restore Cumbria', part of their vision for innovative mission that is bearing fruit. Garry is actively involved in the Community Shed Project in the City, supporting and connecting with people on the margins.
Katia, is working in Florianoplis, Brazil where she continues to serve at the Vineyard Floria church sharing Gods love in the community around them and has access to the local female prison once a month.
The Church has also had a long association with Gillian Rose is a church Mission Partner in Bangladesh. Formerly a member of St Paul’s, she moved in 1995 to Bollobhpur Hospital on Bangladesh, near the Indian border, as a
qualified nurse and midwife. She is now the Nursing Director and is involved in the training of student nurses.
We should hold our Mission Partners in our thoughts and prayers as they give evidence of God’s love for the communities in which they serve and we continue to pray for their safety

Our journey towards bronze and silver awards will recommence with the arrival of a new incumbent.
## **Small Steps across the church estate**
Our Wardens and Trustees continue to seek appropriate ways to embrace the carbon neutral goal.
More on activities across the Church appear in other reports.
This is proving to be a journey in hope rather than a tangible reality list.
Your personal sacrificial support and provision of resources is important for the future viability of this place of Christian Mission Worship and Prayer.
## **Formal Ecology Policy**
The formal Ecology Policy for church guidance and action is to be reviewed this year and will be made available on the website.
## **Ongoing information**
We will continue to keep church informed and up to date with developments through the notice sheet and welcome new volunteers to join us and take some of the strain. Please ask any questions of the Trustees who will offer the best answers that we are able.
_Thank you for being part of the EcoChurch change through St Pauls._
## **St Paul’s New Website 2024 -** Phil Crook
During the early part of 2024 a replacement web site was deemed necessary and was redesigned to provide a modern look and feel for launch in September. This new site was created to be easy to be maintained by volunteers, to be self-updating with social network feeds, with additional data provided by others, ensuring it needed little maintenance whilst looking fresh and modern to reflect today’s needs and those of the future. Pages developed included the ‘I’m New’ section which gave those exploring our church for the first time an overview of what to expect if they visit. An ‘About Us’ section covering the key aspects of church life for those new and existing members. A ‘What’s On’ page which presents all of the day-to-day activities
of church life, whether via social networking, calendar, news sheet, latest service video or information Blog in one place.
A crucial element of the site is the document area called ‘Policies’ this provides access to downloadable documents such as Safeguarding, Volunteers, GDPR etc which enable anyone to understand how our legal and charitable framework operates for safety and good governance. The ‘Giving’ page has extensive information on how to provide financial support to maintain church life and outreach into our community. An area not explored by many churches is educating members on the huge benefits that come from leaving a lasting legacy in their Will, this information is provided together with the legal wording framework to include such a gift in anyone’s Will should they choose. Maintenance and development are still ongoing, with new features planned for 2025 including: Team Access – for PCC documents etc, Church Life photo gallery, Website Poll, plus additional items that keep the site fresh and up to date. Finally, it’s helpful to define the performance of this new site and how it engages with visitors since launch. Since October 2024 the site has been a visible link between the outside and inside of church life.
The following figures give an indication of page activity from August 2024 to December 2024:
• Total Site Visitors – 3,400 • Total Page Views – 11,100 • Web visitors during December – 1,010 • Web page views during December – 2,404 Phil Crook webmaster@stpaulschurch.org.uk
## **Church Membership Report 2024**
In the Church of England there is a requirement to hold a list of a parish’s register of electors; it is the list of those qualified to vote at the annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) where the elections take place for: The Parochial Church Council (The PCC), and the parish’s representatives on the Deanery Synod.
The Electoral Roll is also our membership list, the number we can count upon as committed members of the Parish. Each church has an electoral roll officer
and for St Paul’s and St Peter’s Langley Burrell it is Maddy Crook: Email: membership@stpaulsweb.org.uk
A completely revised Electoral Roll list is due to be issued in 2025. More information can be found on our website: stpaulsweb.org.uk

**St Paul’s Financial review**
**(FINANCIAL INFORMATION PRESENTED IN THIS SECTION WAS DRAFT AS AT APRIL 2025 AND IS SUPERSEDED BY THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS PRESENTED FURTHER BELOW)**
## **Background**
The St Paul’s Finance team has continued to meet regularly through 2024 with a specific focus on managing our cash flow, and we are supported by Data Developments (DD), who provide the finance software and bookkeeping services.
The 2023 accounts were completed and signed off by the Independent Examiner in time to meet the 31st October filing deadline.
DD are focused on completing data entry for 2024 however at the time of writing this is not fully complete, meaning we are unable to provide a Statement of Financial Activities or Balance Sheet for this meeting. We expect the remaining postings to be made within the next month ahead of the accounts being provided to the Independent Examiner.
The analysis presented below instead provides a summary of income and expenditure, together with cash balances, for the year ended 31 December 2024. This provides a materially correct overview of the church’s finances, all subject to the final postings.

The largest component of income is giving, with donations from our congregation primarily received via the Parish Giving Scheme and BACS/standing order.
We express our gratitude to our Heavenly Father for all the donations we have received in 2024. The Lord has been at work to move the hearts and minds of many to make freewill offerings for the ministry of St Paul’s ( _Exodus 35:29)._
We were blessed to receive a one-off donation of £50,000 in January 2024 designated towards Youth ministry. £10,000 of this has been allocated against Youth expenditure in 2024 and the expectation is that we will allocate further amounts over the next 4 years to continue to support this activity.
The wider picture is that while regular giving is broadly consistent with the prior year, we have seen less other occasional giving in 2024.
The other main component of income - church, hall & car park lettings - has remained broadly consistent against the prior year at £21k (2023: £24k).

As in 2023, we again had to reduce our parish share payment in 2024 to ensure we maintained an appropriate level of cash flow in the church. For reference, in 2022 we paid our parish share in full, amounting to £80k.
We have been in regular dialogue with the Diocese since mid-2023 who have been very supportive as we have sought to manage our finances, and while in the medium term we are keen to return to paying our parish share in full, we anticipate only paying £42,000 of our parish share in the 2025 budget, largely a reflection of the expected decrease in giving.
## **Net income**
This all means that in 2024 we had a **surplus of £32,803** , compared to a deficit of £28,141 in 2023. This surplus does however include the £50,000 one-off donation to Youth ministry outlined above, and we anticipate a **deficit of £31,711** in our 2025 budget.
## **Cash Position**
We ended the year with £123k of cash, with £90k in our current account (31 Dec 23: £57k) with a further £33k on deposit at CCLA (deposit account).
Of this cash, £44k is designated to supporting Youth activities and for the church kitchen project, meaning available cash is only £78k.
We aim at all times to maintain a balance in our current account equivalent to 3 months’ expenditure. With a projected deficit of £32k in 2025, we anticipate having to transfer out a large proportion of our cash on deposit holding at CCLA during the coming year.
## **Summary**
We are fortunate to own a church hall and car park valued at £480k in the 2023 accounts and being written off over 20 years. As we cannot however realise the value of these assets, this all means **we are not yet in a sustainable financial position** .
We continue to need to generate additional income through sustained increases in giving, the sourcing of grants and the generation of additional income from church and hall activities.
## **ST PETER’S CHURCH Langley Burrell**
## **Official Information**
A District Church within the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell PCC Charity Number: 1131637
## **DISTRICT CHURCH COUNCIL ANNUAL REPORT**
for the Year 1st January – 31st December 2024
St Peter’s is a small but viable parish church serving the local community. It is a fact that we have an ageing congregation, with some less active than they once were. However, most show commitment to the church and do what they can to support it in many valuable ways.
St Peter’s has evolved over the years from quite a formal and traditional style of ‘churchmanship’ to where we are today, blending that which is valued from the past with more contemporary approaches to worship and liturgy. We have continued to emphasise our openness and welcome to all who come to join us, whether as regular and committed members, more casual adherents or for occasional offices of the church.
Lay involvement in leading services has ensured they can continue twicemonthly. The work preparing for these requires commitment: organising rotas, locating on-line talks and songs, as well as a range of practical tasks on the day. We no longer have an organist available and this has led to the use of video technology and on-line resources to good effect. We are sincerely grateful to all those who contribute to church life in any way.
Our secretary and treasurer have taken on between them many formal administrative tasks, along with representing St Peter’s on the PCC. The prolonged absence of a paid Parish Administrator has caused complications,
especially in the management of weddings. But we do not underestimate the effort put in to cover this by volunteers from St Paul’s and record our appreciation here.
The District Church Council currently has five members, but age and illness have had an impact on the availability of some. There has been no lay chair of the DCC and the departure of rector Simon Dunn added to the challenges of maintaining a functioning church leadership. We have appreciated the invaluable support of the Area Dean Rev Canon Sally Wheeler in 2024; also, the clergy who have been willing to take occasional services, including weddings.
Average attendance at Sunday services was 15-20 adults. On seven occasions were any children present at services. The last of these was a carol and nativity service when there were 25 children present, with most taking an active part in proceedings. Lisa Wakefield LLM took the service and was dressed impressively as the Virgin Mary. A good number of visitors were there and gave positive feedback.
There were only two weddings during the year (many more are booked for 2025/26) and one baptism.
With a grade one listed heritage building to care for, fabric maintenance is a significant on-going responsibility. The latest Quinquennial Report identified the need for repointing of stonework, particularly on the east wall of the chancel, for which Ellis & Co produced the most competitive quotation. Wiltshire Historic Churches Trust awarded a grant of £3000 towards this, and together with part of a generous donation from Mrs Lucinda Whitrow in memory of Robert, the work was completed in 2024 at a cost of £5460.
Also in 2024 the old halogen lights in the church were replaced with LEDs, funded by a Net Zero grant via the Diocese.
The project to rebuild the toilet block reached the stage of tendering for the job, after all the preceding expense and bureaucratic hurdles had been managed to that point. In October 2023 a quantity surveyor was
commissioned by the lead architect to estimate the final cost of the build. This came out at £89,000, which appeared shockingly high at the time. However, of the three detailed tenders from builders the lowest was £110,000 +VAT, the next £124,000 +VAT. We now await the response to a grant application, but if that is unsuccessful then a review will take place as to how to proceed. However, the need for an accessible toilet remains a priority, as part of our expanding mission to the community.
The state of church finances is set out in the accompanying spreadsheet. We have benefited from the commitment to give regularly and reliably from a few, mainly via the Parish Giving Scheme. Occasional large individual donations have been appreciated, as has the church’s share of the proceeds from the annual village fete. The Diocese encourage us all to consider leaving a legacy to the church when making a will, and in the past such bequests have been helpful in maintaining God’s work at St Peter’s.
We engage in all the above not for its own sake, but as followers of Jesus Christ and in service of the Kingdom of God. We do not know what the future may hold for us, individually or as a fellowship of God’s people, but we commit it to our Lord in faith, with prayer and expectation.

## **Official Information**
## **Aim and Purposes**
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell is responsible for controlling the management, finance and the administration of the charity and to cooperate with the minister, in the whole mission of the Church; pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The Council appoints and delegates to groups of people or individuals to help in carrying out its aims and objectives whilst keeping the whole PCC membership informed so that the trustees can accept, reject or amend proposals put to them. The PCC is responsible for St Paul, Chippenham and St Peter’s Langley Burrell.
## **Objects and Activities**
Both Churches are committed to the Diocese of Bristol’s vision to create communities of wholeness with Christ at the centre. Details of St Peter’s ministry will be found in Part 3.
St Paul’s vision is to be “the community’s church” which reflects not only, our desire for the church congregation to grow as a community and for all to be actively engaged in church life, but also our desire to be a church where local people can come and feel at home at St Paul’s and regard it as their church even if they do not normally attend church.
The four strands of the community’s church vision to enable this to happen are for St Paul’s to be:
- **A spiritual home** where all can find a safe place to explore their faith, encounter Jesus and have the opportunity to be fully involved in church life.
- **A place of refuge** where all are welcomed and supported through the ups and down of life and can know the love and comfort of Jesus.
- **A wellspring of generosity** , as we serve each other and the local community in response to Jesus’ love for us.
- **A beacon of hope** as we reflect Jesus’ light in our local community
The Trustees have read the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission and are keen to engage with work that provides public benefit alongside our charity’s primary purpose of the advancement of religion.
In particular St Paul’s tries to enable a wide cross section of ordinary people to have opportunities to learn about the gospel, to develop their knowledge and love of Jesus and to live out their faith as part of the parish community. We do this in particular through the following distinctive ministries at St Paul’
- good quality accessible worship
- children’s and youth ministry
- a network of safe groups for people to become part of our church family/community and
- engaging with the community and the world (both in mission and outreach work locally and globally).
To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the church of St Paul’s and its Church Halls; and have good quality facilities available for mission, outreach and community use.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell is part of the Ecclesiastical Benefice of St Paul, Chippenham with Hardenhuish and Langley Burrell (known now as ‘The Greenways Benefice’); although pastoral measure changes have not gone to the King in Council for amendment, we effectively, since the end of 2014, no longer work with the benefice of Kingston St Michael. The former ‘Team Ministry’ and ‘North Chippenham Group of Churches’, for all practical purposes, has ceased to exist. In practice this means there are just three church communities (The Greenways Benefice) operating with one Minister in leadership.
Since September 2015, when the agreed (at the APCM 2015) governance changes were implemented, each church operates under its own District Church Council (DCC).
These DCC’s function under delegated powers from the trustees and in guidance from a Bristol Diocesan ’scheme for separate representation of congregations’. ‘St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell’, still share one
Parochial Church Council, and this aims to meet, a minimum, of four times per year.
The Diocese of Bristol is the Trustee for the charity and as such holds the title to the Churches. The charity is governed by the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure 1956 (as amended) and Church representation rules (reissued 2020).
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. Our PCC membership, since the governance changes in September 2015, consists of the Priest in Charge, our Curate, our Associated Minister, our Churchwardens, our elected Deanery and Diocesan Synod representatives and 10 elected members nominated by the two DCC’s (five from each DCC). To be elected to a DCC or the PCC, members need to be on the relevant church electoral roll. All PCC members are Trustees of the charity.
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.
## **Administrative information**
St Paul’s is situated on the corner of Malmesbury Road and Greenway Lane in Chippenham. Its address is Malmesbury Road, Chippenham, SN15 1PS

## **PCC Business**
The PCC is legally expected to meet (a minimum of) 4 times a year and as Trustees maintains an oversight of the finances. The Standing Committee may progress delegated business from the PCC by email or occasionally by meetings as required, between PCC meetings. The Standing Committee currently consists of the Priest in Charge, the Associate Minister and the St. Paul’s and St. Peter`s Church Wardens.
## **PCC Accounts – Control Issues**
It was agreed in October 2020 that All St Paul’s Accounts will have five authorised signatories; (increased from four) these would be the Treasurer, the Churchwarden, PCC Lay Chair, Ex-Treasurer and the PCC Secretary. Any two of these must sign all authorisations i.e. cheques, transfers, standing orders, direct debits etc. Cheques which are written for one of these signatories or their immediate family are not signed by them.
The ‘Churchwardens 2’ account receipts are mainly church collections; most of these are paid either by regular standing order into the account or by the Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) which collects direct debits on the first of the month and then pays them in to the bank account by the 10[th] of the month. The PGS scheme also claims any Gift Aid due from HMRC and pays it direct into the bank account monthly. Cash collections after a service (including Gift Aid and other envelopes) are counted by two unrelated people at church after the main Sunday Service, and then passed on to the person responsible for the banking. They are then banked with the paying in information being e- mailed to the Treasurer.
Since October 2019 we have offered contactless payments as a way of donating. The system used is called sum up and any payments made are paid into the bank account within 2-3 days with a small management fee being charged for the service.
The Church Hall receipts are mainly from bookings, these are received and paid into the Churchwardens 2 account by the Church Administrator acting in the role of Hall Bookings Secretary. Paying in information is e-mailed to the
Treasurer. This portion of the Administrators work is paid for by St Paul’s only. Payments are made by the St. Paul’s Treasurer on receipt of signed invoices from the Administrator.
Langley Burrell’s activities are reported to the Charity’s Treasurer and monthly along with the bank statements. This is so that they can be recorded and reconciled on the Treasurer’s computer; the Treasurer currently acts as the Gift Aid Secretary and therefore is able to reclaim the tax using this information. Langley Burrell has one current bank account with NatWest. In addition a CBF deposit account was opened in 2009 for their reserves. This account is operated by post for paying in and for withdrawals. Withdrawals are paid direct into the current bank account at NatWest.
The Treasurer’s computerised accounts system is backed up monthly onto OneDrive for safe keeping. Similarly the Gift Aid Secretary’s computerised donations system is also backed up monthly.
## **Benefice Accounts**
Involved in the day to day running of the churches are payments relating to the three churches in the benefice, mainly to do with the clergy. These payments are made out of St Paul’s account and then are split by the previous year’s attendance ratios. Langley Burrell pay a monthly standing order and Hardenhuish pay an annual cheque after being invoiced with any further money owing (or excess) paid by cheque after the year-end Accounts have been prepared.
## **Staff**
There is one part time member of staff, one full time staff and 1 or 2 cleaners doing ad hoc hours
The Administrator works 3.5 hours per week on St. Paul’s hall bookings, and 13.5 hours per week for the benefice. The Administrator role has been vacancy since March 2024, with the exception of August.
The Youth Minister role is full time

Note 1- Accounting Policies
GENERAL INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION
The PCC is an unincorporated charity registered in England and Wales. The address of the PCC is given and nature
of the PCC'S operations and principal activities are set out in the PCC'S Annual Report.
The PCC constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared
under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the
individual accounts of PCCS, and with the Regulations true and fair view, provisions. together with Accounting and
Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in
accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in
October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)
and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The financial ststements have been prepared to give a 'true and fairf view and have departed from the Charities
(Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view. This departure
has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather
than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005
which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to
include rtain items at fair value. The financial statements are psented in sterling which is the functional currency
of the PCC and rounded to the nearest £.
INCOME RECOGNITION
Recognition of income
Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:
the PCC becomes entitled to the resOus.
the inflow of economic benefit is probable,. and
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Where income has related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract
income) the income and related expenditure are reported gross in the
SOFA.
Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the PCC has
unconditional entitlement to the resources.
Income from tsx reclaims is included in the SOFA at the same time as the
gift to which it relates.
This is only included in the SOFA once the related goods or services have
been delivered.
These are only included in income (with an equivalent amount in
expenditure) where the benefit to the PCC is reasonably quantifiable,
measurable and Material. The value plad on these resources is the
estimated value to the PCC of the service or facility received.
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts
but is described in the trustees, annual report.
This is included in the accounts when receivable.
This includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or
loss resulting from revaluing investments to fair value at the end of the
year.

EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES
Liability recognition
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive
obligation and settlement is probable and quantifiable and settlement is
probable and quantifiable.
These include the costs of the preparation and examination of ststutory
accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and cost of any legal advice to
trustees on governance or constitutional matters. Governance costs are
included within support costs which forms part of charitable activities of
the PCC. Previously these were classified as 'other expendtture, and they
have been re-allocated to charitable activib'es in the year.
Governanco Costs
Grants with porforniance condltions
Where the PCC gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a
specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only
recognised in the SOFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the
specified service or output.
These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been
made and there are no conditions to be met relating to the grant which
remain in the control of the PCC.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to
activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources,
e.g. allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by
the time spent and other costs by their usage.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Consecrated and benefice property
In so far as consecrated and benefice propety of any kind is excluded
from the statutory definition of °charity by Section 10(2) (a) and (c) of the
Charities Act 2011 such assets are not capitalised in the financial
statements.
Tanglble flxed assets for use by charity Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation
less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of
operating as intended.
These are capitslised if they can be used for more than one year, and
cost at least £1,000. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at a reasonable
estimate of fair value on receipt.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to
write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a
systematic basis over its expected useful life.
Fixtures, fittings and equipment are depreciated at 250/0 Straight line.
Land is not depreciated.
Depreciation is provided on buildings, the remaining usefvl life of these
assets is estimated at 20 years from 2018. An impairment review is
carried out at each year-end and any resultant loss identified included in
expenditure for the year.
The fair value of land and buildings is considered at each year end, and a
detailed valUation is normally conducted every 5 years (last revalued in
2023).

Year ended 31st December 2024
Investments
Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the
transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are
measured at fair value with changes recognised in 'net gains l (losses) on
investments, in the SOFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair
value can otherwise be measured reliably. Other investments are
measured at cost less impaiment.
Debtor8 and creditors receivable I
payablè within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or
payable within one year are recorded at transaction pri. Any losses
arising from impaiment are recognised in expenditure.
FUNDS
Unrestrictèd funds
Unrestricted funds represent the remaining income funds of the PCC that
are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtheran of the
general objectives of the PCC and which have not been designated for
other purposes.
Designated funds
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside
by the trustees for particular purposes, such as for purchasing for fixed
assets or for spending on a future project. The aim and use of each
designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial staternents.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with
specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the
PCC for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such
funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each
restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds
These are restricted funds that must be retained as trust capitsl either
permanently or subject to a discretionary power to spend capitsl as
income, and where the use of any income or other benefit derived from
the capital may be restricted or unrestricted. Full details of all their
strictions are shown in the notes to the accounts.
Endowment funds
GOING CONCERN
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis
as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees
have considered the level of fvnds held and the expected level of income
and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial
ststements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the
level of reserves for the PCC to be able to continue as a going concem.
