REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Philip Read served as Deanery Synod Representative and PCC member until prevented by illness in January
2024. He sadly died a few months later. We remember Philip as a dedicated and gifted member of the PCC
and Synod who also seNed as Deanery treasurer for many years.
Organisational Structure
Working with the incumbent, the PCC is the elected leadership team of the Church ensuring full compliance
with charity and ecclesiastical law as well as helpi ng St George's to f ulfil its aims and objectives. The Standing
Committee has delegated powers to conduct PCC business between meetings - this committee is made up of
incumbent, licensed clergy, churchwardens, PCC secretary, treasurer, and two elected members of the PCC.
It met 6 times during 2024. A Safeguarding sub-group of the PCC, led by the Safeguarding Officer, ensures
that the PCC'S full commitment to excellence in this area is delivered. Additionally, there are 7 Working Groups
of the PCC, which meet at least termly and report to the PCC..
Communications, Children and Youth., Facilities and Fabric, Finance, Funding and Giving,, Nurturing Faith.,
Pastoral Care Co-ordination, Worship and Liturgy.
Risk Assessment
The PCC is required to give consideration both to the major risks to which it is exposed, and to systems
designed to mitigate those risks. The major risks requiring comment are summarised in line wlh the
recommendations in the document 'The Charities Act 1993 and the PCC.. The duties of the PCC,, section 1.43.
Financial risk
Reporting to the PCC, the Finance, Funding and Giving Working Group, manages all financial dealings of the
church and Centre and provides regular, updated reports for the PCC. These are in the form of management
accounts. which are produced monthly. These detail actual income and expenditure, and a forecasted monthly
cash flow for the total year versus the budget.
The treasurer, who leads the Finance and Funding Working Group, provides detailed financial reports at every
Standing Committee and PCC meeting and answers any questions related to the financial health of the church.
The Church's Cash Handling Policy is reviewed annually by the PCC and implemented throughout the charity.
It is the policy of the PCC to hold minimum cash balances of £20,000 for the church and £10,000 for the
Centre. Al any time of the year, if the cash flow forecasts show that either of these balances is expected to fall
below the minimum figure, the treasurer must inform the PCC and explain the circumstances.
Reputatlonal Risk and Publicity
The church publicises much of its work via the St George's website and Facebook page. With the move to
online seNices and digital communications increasing since the pandemic, care has been taken to assess our
position wth copyright and GDPR. Our licence with CCLI has been duly updated and renewed for the changed
circumstances.
Throughout 2024 we have continued to livestream services. To protect the privacy of those who do not wsh
to appear on camera, clear signs are displayed in church indicating that services are broadcast and advising
where to sit to be out of camera shot. No close-up5 of members of the congregation are shown. Newsletters
are regularly distributed, and the local press and local radio stations used for special events or news.
Advertising is also used, usually to promote fundraising events and seasonal services.
A key responsibility of the incumbent and PCC is to ensure that the reputation of St George's is not
compromised in any way because of publicity and external communications. There is contact with the
Diocesan Communications Department to keep up to date with the changing responsibilities in this area.
Twice during the year for Easter and Christmas, promotional fliers giving details of services and events were
delivered to around 2000 homes in the parish.
Our GDPR privacy and data policy, which is reviewed annually, is published on our website. In November
2024, the PCC accepted a revised Social Media Policy based on guidelines from the Oxford Diocese.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Statutory and Legal Requirements
Great care is taken to ensure that the PCC satisfies all statutory and legal needs related to St George's Church
and Cenlre. The major aspects are in health and safety, safeguarding, cash handling, security, GDPR and
personnel.
Duties of the PCC Members
AII PCC members are aware of their legal and statutory responsibilities as Trustees of a charity as well as
other obligations as leaders in the church. All new PCC members receive a document summarising the
expectations of PCC members, and the responsibilities of trustees.
Health and Safety
Working withi n the parameters of our Health & Safety Policy all buildings within the
St George's complex are regularly inspected by certain PCC members and by professional safety personnel
to ensure that a safe environment exists. Emphasis is given to kitchens, fire safety, gas and electricity supplies.
Fire extinguishers are tested annually by external professionals.
Safeguarding
In May 2024 the PCC reviewed and approved the Church's Safeguarding Policy and Alison Gill was appointed
as Sl George's Safeguarding Officer. Al every meeting a report is received from the Safeguarding Officer. The
Safeguarding Group has ensured St George's is fully compliant with all aspects of safeguarding, using Oxford
Diocese guidelines. All PCC members have received Safeguarding Training. The DBS register is kept up to
date and volunteer agreements are being completed. The Oxford Diocese Parish Safeguarding Dashboards
are used as a checklist and record of our safeguarding measures and awareness and updated regularly to
ensure excellence in this area.
Security
CCTV is fitted externally on site to deter vandalism and theft. Signs are posted to alert visitors of its use.
Operational Risk
All church buildings are fully i nsured with Ecclesiastical Insurance against all likely risks. This company
specialises i n the insurance of church buildings, including church halls. Regular examinations of both the
internal and external structures take place, and preventative maintenance ensures that the buildings are kept
in the best possible condition.
Activities of the PCC
The full PCC met six times during 2024. Typical attendance at meetings throughout the year was nearly 80
per cent.
The new South Newbury Benefice of St George, St John and St Michael was established. St George's
and St John's havejoined with Sl Michael and All Angels, Enborne as a three-church benefice. Followng
the formal reorganisation of the benefice, there was a weekend of celebrations in September, fostering
connections across the benefice. Shared resources, an administration hub. website and a benefice team
of clergy deployed across three churches has enabled synergies to be found and collegiality to be
fostered.
The PCC was pleased to approve and welcome a new curate to the Benefice. Revd Leanne Fowler
joined us in June 2024.
Strategic outreach priorities sel in 2022 were monitored and developed through the year. The Welcome
Café has been successful and is established. Recruitment of a Children and Families Worker was
pursued with two rounds of advertising undertaken bul no appointment made. The PCC agreed that a
rethink is needed. Similarly, the church building renovations are now understood lo be more extensive
and complex than first thought, so an external Project Manager needs to be commissioned.
A successful appointment was made to the role of Choir Director.
The vicar's sabbatical for eleven weeks over the summer was fully supported by the PCC and went
ahead very smoothly for the church and was much appreciated by Revd Bevan.

ST GEORGE THE MARTYR, WASH COMMON
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Strategic awareness of the new housing developments in Wash Common was highlighted in autumn
2024 when new planning permissions were granted. Engagement with new people moving into the
parish over the coming years was identified as a significant strategic priority. A PCC Away Day was set
for February 2025 to begin a process for identifying ways we can improve our existing welcome. inclusion
and engagement with the wider community ahead of the new needs of the coming years.
In continued stewardship of our buildings and facilities, signif icant work has been undertaken throughout
2024 on church facilities, including the successful lighting project in early 2024 to replace the system
with environmentally friendly LED lights. and repairs to the Ground Source Heat Pump following floods
in January.
The PCC recognised throughout the year that the financial position of St George's remains challenging
and must be addressed to safeguard the ability of the Church to remain a vital place of worship and
community for future generations. Plans were discussed and a major focus on stewardship with the
congregation agreed for March 2025.
Throughout the year, St George's saw continued growth and renewal followtng the negative impact of the
pandemic years. Services were streamed online with a usual online viewing figure of around 40-50. Attendance
on Sundays grew through the year with a typical Sunday attendance of around 100 plus people. The Thursday
service of Holy Communion grew significantly.
During 2024, 20 funerals and interments of ashes were taken by St George's clergy. There were 7 baptisms,
and 1 wedding conducted at St George's. Assemblies were taken by clergy at Falkland School and school
visits took place to the church. Home communions were shared with those unable to get to church and
monthly service at Falkland Grange care home was taken by lay people and clergy.
All the church seasons were marked in full with seNices, small groups, and gatherings. A Quiet Day at
Wantage Convent for Lent was led by Bishop Andrew Proud. Pilgrimages were undertaken to Lichfield
Cathedral and to Rome and Assisi.
Our focus on provision for children and young people continued throughout the year and included a very
successful Holiday Club. Our Tiddlers and Toddlers Group continued to flourish under the new leadership of
Hannah Saunders.
Overall, 2024 was a year of many encouragements and new growth. Our vision to equip and inspire one
another to grow in faith and love, to serve our local community, and reach out lo those in need, remained our
clear focus. We remained dedicated to being good and faithful stewards of our gifts, resources, and
environment.
It is wth gratitude to all at St George's who are so generous with their time. talents and money, that we look
to the coming year wth enthusiasm and hope, trusting in God's guidance and provision.
