The Parochial Church Council of St Jude’s

Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2025

Charity registration number 1132485

Objectives and Activities

The Parochial Church Council of Wolverhampton St Jude’s (the PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent Rev. Ian Jamieson, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelical, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also spiritually responsible for the maintenance of the church

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 Wolverhampton St Jude’s. 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, scripture, music and sacrament. Also, through non-sacramental activities of hospitality and fellowship we aim to reach non churched members of the community.

Public Benefit

The trustees of the Charity are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit and have had regard to it in their administration of the Charity. The trustees believe that, by promoting the work of the Church of England in the Ecclesiastical Parish of Wolverhampton St Jude’s, it helps to promote the whole mission of the Church (pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical) more effectively, within the Ecclesiastical Parish, and that in doing so it provides a benefit to the public by:

• Providing facilities for public worship, pastoral care and spiritual, moral and intellectual development, both for its members and for anyone who wishes to benefit from what the Church offers; and

• Promoting Christian values and service by members of the Church in and to their communities, to the benefit of individuals and society as a whole.

Achievements and Performance

PCC Activity in 2025.

The Parochial Church Council of Wolverhampton St Jude (the PCC) being the main decision maker of the Parish of Wolverhampton St Jude elected it’s lay members at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting of 11th May 2025.

The PCC comprised of seven ordinary members with the two Wardens, Pradip Sudra & Simon Fenner, an Authorized Lay Minister, Amita Sudra, our new Vicar Rev. Ian Jamieson from July 2025 & our Parish Safeguarding Officer, Dawn Peach being ex-officio members.

The PCC met eleven times during 2025 and currently meets on the second Monday, monthly. Detailed minutes are produced for each PCC meeting, amended, and agreed/ signed at the next PCC meeting.

Weekly management staff meetings continued through 2025, (unminuted) comprising both Wardens, Parish Secretary, and the incumbent once in post. At these meetings, discussion is had & decisions made about day-to-day items of church business, some of which, including all significant financial transactions, are taken to the PCC for further discussion & actioning which is minuted.

The PCC has two Deanery Synod representatives who attend the Wolverhampton Deanery Synod (WDS) every quarter which in 2025 had a change of Rural Dean (who chairs the WDS meetings). Rev. Richard Merrick of Holy Trinity Church, Heath Town has been succeeded by Rev. Matthew Hird, Vicar of St Matthews Church.

The PCC takes their (Safeguarding) duty of care for the protection of the vulnerable in their church community seriously with Safeguarding being a standing item of PCC business with an appropriately experienced designated lay Parish Safeguarding Officer and regularly reviewed parish safeguarding policy.

HIGHLIGHTS OF PCC /CHURCH ACTIVITY DURING 2025.

• 1) NEW VICAR - Arguably the highlight of 2025 and an answer to much prayer, was the selection, appointment and licensing of our new incumbent, Rev. Ian Jamieson, with the assistance of both our church sponsors, The Church Pastoral Aid Society, and Lichfield Diocese following the period of vacancy i.e., without an incumbent, since August 2023.

Rev. Ian moved into the vicarage along with his wife, Helen & two of this three children in June 2025 and was licensed by the Bishop of Lichfield on 8[th] July 2025.

• 2) IMPROVED HOLY COMMUNION PROVISION - In 2025, the provision of Holy Communion services was challenging until the licensing of Rev. Ian but with the assistance of other local priests, including the new Bishop of Wolverhampton, Rt Rev. Tim Wambunya, Communion was provided about once a month. Since Rev. Ian arrived communion is provided at least twice a month.

• 3) BIBLE COURSE® - A ten week course was run twice weekly in the autumn as an introduction to the whole bible story pointing to Jesus. It was well received.

• 4) SIGNIFICANT INFRASTRUCTURE WORK – 1) The Church Hall glazing & external doors have all been replaced with double glazed units. 2) Several areas of damaged plasterwork around the organ loft, chancel, West door and Parish Room have been repaired. 3) Several areas of roofing including the Church Hall, the Parish Room and main church have received repairs & significant cleaning of accumulated debris.

• 5) SAFEGUARDING TRAINING – This Diocesan based training has been delivered to all those who are required to have undertaken it.

• 6) INCREASED INVOLVEMENT OF CHURCH MEMBERS IN SERVICE DELIVERY – There has been as significant increase .

• 7) GREATER ENGAGEMENT WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS – not withstanding the ‘difficulties’ of maintaining links with our local schools, the arrival of Rev. Ian has re-invigorated our interactions with St Jude’s Primary Academy, in particular, but St Peter’s have also been engaging with us.

• 8) CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY – We continue to encourage use our church facilities for non‘religious’ activities which in 2025, included hosting Scouting & Guiding groups and Alcoholics Anonymous. Free English lessons for adults whose first language isn’t English are provided by a member of our congregation. Weekly Carers & Toddlers and monthly Cuppa ‘n’ Cake meetings are offered to members of the public/ Parish.

• 9) A NEW ELERCTORAL ROLL WAS PRODUCED – as prescribed by Church of England’s Church Representation Rules for the APCM in May 2025.

• 10) A NEW VERGER WAS APPOINTED - After several decades of service, Graham Sutton retired in June 2025 and Taru Bal was appointed.

Worship Services.

A Worship service every Sunday morning at 10:30 and is a mixture of Holy Communion, Morning Worship (during which Primary School age children leave the service after the first song to receive their own instruction as the J-Team) & Worship Together (Primary School age children included). Orders of Service are now produced in very limited numbers to reduce printing & paper costs. Both the order of service & ‘news’ are now projected during services. However, orders of service are still posted to people who feel unable to attend (mainly due to ill health).

The service scripture passages have mainly followed the Church of England (CoE) lectionary.

Prayer Meetings.

Prayer meetings take place every week on Saturday mornings, and every month on a Wednesday evening. Both are attended by a consistent few. During Communion services a ‘Prayer Corner’ is staffed for members of the congregation to share in prayer with two Safeguard trained members of the prayer TEAM.

Electoral Roll Membership and Service Statistics (20243).

The Electoral Roll was renewed in 2025. The new 2025 electoral roll had 85 members listed (Resident in Parish = 31; Non-resident in Parish = 54).

Usual Sunday Attendance in 2025 was 75 adults and 16 under 16’s.

There were three baptisms, one wedding with no dedications after a civil ceremony, and four funerals held at St Jude’s in 2025.

Children and Families Work.

J Team during 10.30am Sunday Services - Primary school aged children.

J team is our 'Sunday school' for primary school aged children. Numbers vary with some weeks having 20 children attending and an average of 13 children which has increased since the previous year. We have a good core team, with Mark, Linda and Temi leading the sessions and a committed group of helpers. Due to the needs of the group and safeguarding practice, three adults are needed each Sunday.

Each week the Roots teaching materials are used which follow the lectionary plan so that they are learning about the same passage of scripture as the rest of the congregation.

Schools work.

The Church tries to maintain contact with three schools in the church’s immediate vicinity (St Peter’s Collegiate Academy, St Jude’s Primary Academy and St Andrew’s Church of England Primary School [not in Parish]. There is no meaningful contact with two others within the Parish (Wolverhampton Girls’ High School and Newbridge Preparatory School – both private schools).

The PCC has nominated PCC members to maintain contact with the previously mentioned three schools though since Rev. Ian arrival he has been the main contact. All these schools have had classes of pupils visit St Jude’s in the last year. St Jude’s Primary has a chaplain, but St Peter’s chaplain left at the end of 2025 and has not been replaced.

Since the Autumn term of 2025-26 Rev. Ian had been leading weekly morning (worship) assemblies St Jude’s Primary Academy. St Jude’s PCC, as was the usual practice, bought bibles for distribution to the School leavers. However, arrangements could not satisfactorily be made for these bibles to actually be presented by any representative of St Jude’s PCC/ Church.

Carers & Toddlers.

This meets weekly on Tuesday mornings (during School Term time) run by a regular group of (safeguarding trained) volunteer helpers.

Guides, Brownies and Rainbows.

Since the summer of 2016 St Jude’s church and the 27[th] Wolverhampton (St Jude’s) Guide Unit have been linked together through a formal agreement. The unit meets in the church hall, rent free, every Monday evening during school term time and continues to thrive in all age ranges. Leaders, some of whom are regular St Jude’s church members) also take girls to national Guiding events.

Beavers & Cub Scouts.

During 2024, the PCC agreed to host the 5th Tettenhall Beaver & Cub Scout group on Wednesday evenings.

Pastoral Care.

Pastoral support.

The church family are a caring community, offering ad hoc home visiting. A voluntary diary of church member birthdays is kept & used to note/ celebrate church member birthdays.

The vicar has access to limited finance to assist church members with ‘emergency’ purchase of food or essential household items

Some of the people who feel unable to return to church receive service and prayer sheets. The Prayer Chain has remained in operation throughout the year.

Prayer is an absolute key activity, and an updated Prayer Diary has been produced & distributed to those church members who have ‘promised’ to pray for others and areas within the Parish.

A special prayer box at the back of church is provided for (anonymous prayer requests). It’s use by church members is encouraged. It is used regularly. Prayers left in the box are read/ shared at the Saturday morning Prayer meeting for at least four weeks before being destroyed.

A prayer corner for individuals to be prayed for or with by two others in private has been reintroduced at Communion Services.

House Groups

There are a limited number of long established semi-autonomous groups that meet regularly during the week.

The PCC are minded to try to increase numbers of groups & attendees as it is seen as a great way to increase faith & discipleship.

Occasional Leaders and Preachers Group

This group was established in 2019 by the previous incumbent and PCC in line with an initiative from Bishop Michael to encourage lay participation in leading and preaching during Worship Services. The group is led by Amita Sudra, our Lay Minister, and Rev. Ian since his arrival. Currently, there are eleven participants in the group. It meets, approximately four times a year to support participants in developing their gifts. Members participate in in delivering Sunday Services (leading/ preaching). The aim that this is not more frequently than once every two months. Feedback is given. Recently, it has been the forum through which Morning Worship Templates have been produced that closely follow the Book of Common Worship.

Cuppa ‘n’ Cake

This is a monthly ‘Afternoon Tea’ fellowship meeting in our church hall open to anyone but without an explicit evangelical basis.

Evangelism activities

The PCC has supported the provision of courses to help people discover more about Jesus. This was the ‘The Bible Course®’ . Lent lunches have again been provided in 2025 with recorded talks by J John ( Facing the Canon ) being shown.

Support of other Christian Mission

We continue to set aside 10% of the previous year’s voluntary unrestricted income to give in support of Christian Mission. 90% is divided equally between our Mission Partners. The last 10% of the allocation forms a reserve fund from which grants may be awarded to short term mission projects, it also funds the purchase of the Bibles we give to St Jude’s school year 6 leavers.

The PCC conducts an annual review of the Mission Partners we support. The PCC currently supports: Wolverhampton Well (a foodbank) ; Little Brothers of the Good Shepherd; PCF Romania Project; Tearfund; The Leprosy Mission; Barnabas Aid (this was stopped in February 2025 and substituted with Open Doors); Hope From Above; and Interserve as a Mission Partner (because of the connections Amita Sudra has formed with the organisation to help her in her work amongst Asian women).

The PCC invite a rotation of our Missional Partner organisations to present a talk about their organisations activities or deliver a sermon though not more than three times per year.

Use of our buildings by the community

Our reasonably well-equipped church hall is let to community groups (Alcoholics Anonymous, Howling Wolves Community Choir, Wolverhampton Music Service) and private individuals.

The main church has been used in 2025 for two music/ choral concerts as well as for school services.

Reserves Policy

It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on free reserves (net current assets) which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to £28,467_2025 [£25,106_2024]. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The balance of the free reserves at the year-end were £21,102 [(£13,407) 2024] which is marginally lower than this target. The PCC will continue to monitor the situation to build up their reserves.

Investment Policy

The charity is granted power to invest in suitable investments under the PCC Powers Measure 1956 and the Trustees Act 2000. As a charity, the Trustees have a duty of care to take such advice as is appropriate before investments are undertaken. This advice is sought from the Central Board of Finance (CCLA) in London.

The charity’s investment policies are based on two key principles: -

• Ethical Investment – this includes ensuring that investments are held in companies which have high standards of corporate governance and act in a responsible way towards stakeholders.

• Long-term responsibilities – the trustees are aware of their long-term responsibilities in respect of the Restricted and Unrestricted reserves and as a result follow a prudent approach to investment decisions.

Investment policy for long-term funds is aimed primarily at generating a sustainable income, with due regard to the need for the preservation of capital value, and the possible need to realise investments to meet operational needs. The charity does not have a policy of generating income at excessive or high risk – known as “purchasing income”, where high returns are guaranteed at the expense of capital.

In summary, the charity has an overall policy to maximise income while preserving the real value of its funds. Due to the nature of the charity, an ethical investment policy is taken into consideration when investments are made:

The charity follows the Ethical Investment Advisory policy as recommended by the Lichfield Diocese which includes the following:

• “We aim to invest in companies that:

• will develop their business in the interests of shareholders;

• demonstrate responsible employment practices;

• are conscientious concerning issues of corporate governance, the environment and human rights;

• are sensitive to the community in which they operate.”

Planned giving, collections and donations are the main sources of fund raising along with tax recoverable.

Safeguarding

The PCC believe they have fulfilled their duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).

Reporting Serious Incidents

A Serious Incident is an adverse event, whether actual or alleged, which results in or risks significant harm to the charity’s beneficiaries, employees, office holders, volunteers or to others who come into contact with the charity through its work, loss of the charity’s money or assets, damage to the charity’s property or harm to the charity’s work or reputation.

The trustees are not aware of any Serious Incidents in the last year

Fundraising

The PCC takes it’s fundraising responsibilities seriously and is very grateful to all donors – whether regular or occasional – for their support of the church and church events. PCC supporters are never taken for granted. The PCC takes full responsibility for fundraising and does not use commercial organisations or professional fundraisers. All money raised is either by donations, fundraising events, special appeals or legacies for which the PCC are most grateful.

Volunteers

The members of the PCC would like to thank all the 55 volunteers who work so hard to make our Church a lively and vibrant community.

2025 Annual Report & Financial Statements for PCC of St Jude’s Church.

Risk Management

The Church Wardens carry out regular Health and Safety Reviews and regularly inspect premises for potential hazards. We have safeguarding policies in place for child protection and for work with vulnerable adults, including rigorous DBS checking of staff and volunteers. Our insurances are reviewed annually to ensure adequate cover. An informal review of any new risks which may impact the work of the Church in the Parish is ongoing. The trustees have undertaken a review of risks to the charity and how they should be monitored and managed. Taking due consideration of the recommendations of Charity Commission paper CC26 we conclude that no specific new procedures are required. Our present procedures for financial budgeting, managing resources and accounting provide a framework of control which fulfils our obligations as a charity.

Structure, Governance and Management

The PCC is a Body Corporate established by the Church of England and is a Charity registered with the Charity Commission. The PCC is governed by the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure (1956) as amended that came into effect on 2[nd] January 1957, and the Church Representation Rules (contained in Schedule 3 to the Synodical Government Measure 1969 as amended).

The method of appointment of the PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The Council comprises the Incumbent, the Churchwardens, a representative of the Readers, those elected to the Deanery Synod, and other members who are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, by those on the Electoral Roll. The PCC members receive training from courses run by the Diocese. Members of the congregation are always urged to join the Electoral Roll, and to stand for election to the PCC.

The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance in the parish, and for all financial matters. The PCC met 11 times during the year.

Related Parties

There are no related parties employed by the PCC or awarded contracts for work.

Independent Examiner’s report to the trustees/members of The PCC of The Parish of Wolverhampton St Jude’s

Registered charity number: 1132485

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2025 which are set out on the following pages.

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility

• to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,

• to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and

• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair” view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner's Statement

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect:

• accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or

• the accounts do not accord with the accounting records

I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Incoming Resources

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received or when the PCC becomes entitled to the resource and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and Legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.

Resources Expended

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.

Governance and Support Costs

Support costs should be allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the PCC and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources eg by allocating staff costs by time spent and other costs by their usage.

Fixed Assets

Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts by s.10(2)(a)&(C) of the Charities Act 2011.

Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the Church’s inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements.

No depreciation is provided on buildings as the currently estimated residual value of the properties is not less than their carrying value and the remaining useful life of these assets exceeds 50 years, so that any depreciation charges would be immaterial. Other tangible fixed assets are valued at cost. The depreciation rates and methods used are 50% per annum.

Investments

Investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued initially at cost and subsequently at market value at the year end. Investments held for re-sale are treated as current asset investments.

Debtors

Debtors are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount. Subsequently they are measured as cash expected to be received.

Creditors and Accruals

Creditors are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. Accruals are measured on best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
