elisatlon of the natron:
One of the highlights of 2025 was Baptlsm Sunday in October when we baptlsed one young guy fro
our congregatlon and celebrated all that God had done in his Ilfe. Alpha continued to be a plllarof our
strategy to help people explore faith in Jesus and we rarb three Alpha courses for people explorlng
faith for the first time as well as those redlscovering their faith, includlng a Women's morning Alpha
which created a strong community for th0￿ involved, and continued on into 2026.
Sundays contlnued to be a place where people encountered Jesus for the first tlme, with new
individua15 and families arrivlng- many tying out church for the first time.
Many of the bE guest services throughout the year were full with standlng room only includlng Easter,
Remembrance Sunday, Patcham Infant Year 2 Natlvlty, Patcham Junior Year 3 Nativity and Carols by
Candlelight. Other special Se￿1￿5 reached out to people WFK) do not usualty come to our church
including our Famllynoddler Carols, Midnight Communion and Christmas Day Celebration.

Revitali5ation of the church..
Although the church is MO￿ about a community of apprentices of Jesus knowing HIM more dearly,
loving Him more dearly and following Him more nearly. and not Simply about the number of people
attendin& It is encouraging to see that the usual number of people gatherlng on a Sunday has been
conslstently growlng slnce 2022. In fact, 2025 saw us increase on 2024. and agaln reach our highest
levels of attender5 and highest percentage of chlldren Since 2015.
In the early part of 2025, a Nevicomers nlght gave opportunity to meet those that loined the church
over the preceding 12 months, sharing vision and invStin8 them to get invofved.
Focus is an annual weekend away gatherlng of churches from around the nat￿n that are part of the
Revitslise Trust network. 20 people from All Saints attended, including 8 kids, and a highlight was that
one of our teens chose to glve hls life to Christ in the Youth meeting. Thls was a good opportunity for
relationship buildin& and we'll hope to build on this in 2026.
Transformation of societ
2025 saw the launch of a new inltlatlve aimed at providing 5UPPOrt and communtty for parents In their
first year: The Under Is Collective. The weekly group meets once a week and is a safe pkce for parents
to bring their babies and meet wlth other people at the same stage of life. We have a team of 4
volunteers plus one church mum with her baby, and the group meets on Thursdays in tem) time for a
hot drink, homemade cake. a chat, a discussion based around a parentirsg topic and endlng with a
short singing time. Numbers have varied from 3-9 families a week and we've already had 3 babies
reach their 1st blrthday and graduate, . all of them have started nursery shortly after. A good number
of families came to and appreciated the Toddler Carol service at Christmas.
The parents gave us some feedback:
"I don't like bobygroups, but I Ilke thi5 boby group because it's more obout supportlng me..

Unlte, a support group for parents, grandparents and carers with Chlldren with neurodiverslty and/or
additional needs continue5 to go from strength to st￿n8th. The group meets to share their
experiences and support one another and share the experiences of ralslng a neurodlverse young
person. The challenges for parents, their carers and schools are huge anLI the group ha5 been looking
how best to support more people and advocate for positive change. The focus Is on listenlng. sharing
anxieties andlor concerns alongside the opportunity to discuss ways forward. They regularly pray into
the challenging circumstances that many of the members face and have seen prayers answered.
Furthermore, ralslng the issues faced by families throughout the wider body of churches has prompted
church leaders to consider holding a serninar focusing on supporting those with neurodiversity.
An anonymousgroup member shared that:
"Part of the group's ongoing success Is thut we encourage one unother to discover more about the
various conditions relating to neurodlver51ty. This open minded approoch has led to increased
confidence and willingness to sh(yre new information and uncover topicul insightsfor dlscussion. A5
result Individu(Tls have become mDre proactive in pursuln9 the be5tPOs5ible outcomesfor their young
people. Examples of these outcomes include contucting their local MP, seeking legal support
challenging the local authorlty over EHCP provision, provldlng support for PIP applKations ond
circulating summaries of recent government plons as reported in various newspapers."

All Salnts, provided both weekly worship and One￿ff special events throughout 2025. It has been
great to welcome new people and families to OLtr Sunday servlces, and In January we introduced a
contemporary morning servlce at 9'.45am followed by a more traditional Servi￿ at 11:30am. The new
th
services began on 19 January 2025 and th15 Introduttion has proven popular. allowing All Saints to
better serve the needs of its inter-generational congregatlon.
Servlces at The Ascenslon moved to bkmonthly from January in order to focus on growing All Salnts,
and then stopped fully in September, in preparation for new leadership to be appointed in 2026. We
are looking forward to its relaunch!
Both churches are equipped with modern heatin& lighting and audio-visual system5. With volunteers

Services..
In addition to Sunday services, our mldweek Said Communion Servlce contlnued to meet monthly,
and was a hiEhllght for many. It ha5 proved popular with the more elderly in our conBregation, some
of whom do not attend our Sunday ServI￿S. The average attendance of eighteen to twenty people
enjoy refreshments and fellowship afterwards.
Re8ular attendees say:
°The sernite provides opp(rtunity to meet together in o quieter atmosphere.

Our Easter programme was full thls year, wlth a Maundy Thursday meal, Good Frlday service and 2
seNices on Easter Sunday. There was also the addition of a Good Frlday Community Party event for
families. which wa5 extremety successful. The whole All Saints site was filled with people from the
local area enjoying Egg Hunts, soft play, games and face painting.
Across the year we ran 3 Alpha ¢our*s, gNing guests a chance to ask questions and explore the
Christian faith in a fun, no-pressure envlronment. Two were evening courses and one a morning
course for women. All three were a wonderful opportunity for guests and team to form new
friendships, explore faith, develop understanding and ask some of life's big questlons. On each course
God brou8ht guests who fit together and bonded well.
At the end of each course, the Broup wa5 asked What would you like to happen after Alpha?" Most
guests asked for the gmup to continue because they felt part of a communlty Whe￿ trust had been
built. They asked to know more about the Chrlstlan Ilfe and wanted thelr falth journey to continue.
At the 2024 Pancake Partyj Laura Rodger was able to share a little aboLrt whal Lent meant, a tlme to
draw near to God and jOUTney withjesus towards Easter. From this. a small group of women that were
Interested In knowing more and drawing near to God began to meet. After 213 months of meeting
every other week, we decided it was a great time to stsrt Alpha with them. This Monday Women's
Alpha was a new venture because women of all ages We￿ welcomed with their Ilttle ones. We
wondered how Alpha would work with chIld￿n in the room, but it was amazing. There wa5 a real
family feel wlth the children. Mum5 and the older women connecting. When the group needed qulet
to pray or focus on a challenging question, somehow the children were settled. The team took joy
from provldlng a safe welcoming space. a high quality breakfast and explorlng falth together.

It has been wonderful to See our monthly in-person Prayer Gathering contlnuing throughout 2025,
focusing on intercession for our Church, the clty, and beyond. Often beBinning with worship. it is an
hour of Interactlve and creative prayer, regular￿ hosted by a member of the congregation.
Zoom Prayer gatherings continued to be a feature in 2025, meeting on Mondays at 7.30pm to read
the Scriptures and pray for the community, local and global Issue5 and personal needs, with an
opportunity to share words of encouragement and answers to prayers. We also met on Mondav

Events,.
Ice c￿aM Sunday was new for 2025, and was a special Kids Church sesslon designed for our regulady
attending children to Invlte their friends to. We had lots of guests on that Sunday, includirbg one family
who then started attending church, and Barnacles.
The month of December was busy. with multiple Christmas services and events whlch were advertised
throughout the Parish, sharing the Gospel message of Christmas. We again hosted two Carols by
Candlelight Se￿ICe5 in orderto welcome more guest5. and were pleased to welcome over 300 guests.
The traditional mulled wlne and mince pies were served in between the two services outside the
church, which worked well.
After a very successful Toddler Carols in 2023 & 2024, thls year we h05ted a Christmas Families
Festlval, wlth both Toddler Carols and Family Carols services included as part of the event. There were
actTrvities in and around the church for familie5 to take part in, before they could head into the church
for one of the services. The atmosphere was great as lots of famllle5 of all ages engaged with the
Christmas story and enjoyed refreshments and fun.
Both our Mldnight Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day servl¢es provided opportunlty for reflection and
loy as we celebrated the birth of Christ.
Kids & Families:
Toddler Church Is such a joy. Our under 4s enjoy free play. snacks, stories, games, craft and singing.
The children engage well and often check the visual timetable to see what is comlng next. Each week
they have been learnlng about who God is and how mtjch He loves them through bible stories and
play. It has been lovely for the team to have the opportunity to chat with parents that stay wlth their
little onesatToddlerChurch. We have also been greatly encouraged to see parent5 grow in confiden
to leave their child and join the main servtce, knowing that all is well.
Junior Church continue5 to grow. with new families lolnlng our communlty. Each week our 5 to 13
year olds have been engaged with bible topics, such as how and why we pray, the importance of
togetherness, and following the story of Jesus in Mark's Gospel. The biggest change in 2025 was the
appointment of Suzanne Ault in October. to the role of Kids, Youth & Families Coaching Pastor. Thls
has been much awaited and a timely answer to our prayers. Also In October. the oldest Klds Church
group moved to a larger room in the Church Cent￿. This move has Btven these kids a much more
comfortable space to meet in each week and given leader5 a better space to run their sessions. We
are so grateful to the amazing team who are committed to teaching and encouraging the children in
thelr falth each week.
Parents say:

Handbook. A5 Is required, both church websites have a Ilnk to safeguarding on their front pages.
Flnanclal Revlèw
The full accounts and notes are set out on pages 17 to 26.
Un￿StrICted Income for 2025 wa5 £196k compared to £187k in the prior year. The increase in Income
15 mostly due to an increase In regular givin& one off donatlons and the addltional Gift Ald we were
able to clalm. We recefved no legacies this year compared to recelvlng £llk in the prevSous year.
Unrestricted expendlture for 2025 was £216k compared to £162k in the prior year. Thls increase In
unrestrlcted expenditure of £54k is mostly due to planned increases in staffing and additional
expenditure in renovating our propertie5. We need to grow our stafflng each year to enable us to
pursue our vision to grow All Saints to become a resourcing church for the th￿e areas of the Parish,
to revltallse The Ascension and to send a team to plant a new church in Hollingbury. To achieve this
Vlsion we also need to ensure that our propertles remaln fit for purpose. Our Bam kltchen has seen a
complete renovation thls yeari partly paid ft)r through donations from an appeal and partly paid out
of funds set aside fvom a legacy received in a previous year. Work has been done at the A5cen5ion to
resolve an issue with damp, which appears to be from a fault in the way the original brick damp proof
course was put together.
We ended the year with a deficit in unrestrlcted funds before galns and losses on investments of
£19.8k [pr￿r year surpllts of £25kl. Our total fund5 Stood at £1,823,036 at 31 December 2025
compared to £1,851,837 at 31 December 2024.
In 2025 we re￿iVed restricted Strateglc Development Grant Fundlng (SDFI from Chichester Dlocese
of £30k1£38K in the prior year), which covers set LIP and salary costs for the purpose of revitalising
the Parish of All Saints, Patcham. SDF part funded staff salaries are paid 100% by the Diocesan grant
the first year, but then taper down so that the Parish pays increasing amounts e.g. year 1 66Yo
DI0￿Se133% Parish. year 2= 33% Diocese166% Parlsh, year 3 onwards- 0% Diocese I la0% Parish.
Increasing our income is therefore crltlcal In being able to meet these additional salary costs.
The PCC Reserves Policy 15 to hold general reseNes of a minimum of three months of normal working
expenditure together with an additlonal reseNe, as a designated fund, primarily to meet major,
exceptional, or unexpected building malntenance costs or improvements to propertles. Our General
Fund at 31 December 2025 stood at £115,278131 December 2024 at £123,553) and complied with
this policy.
