Protection of childien and vulnerable adtjlts
The Parish has a safeguarding policy to ensure the safety and well-being of young people and Vulne￿ble adults. Throughout 2025 a
Parish Safeguardin8 offi.cer. asslsted by a PSO at st George'5. ensured the policy is implemented and liaises dirȣtly with the Diocesan

inancial Risk
Mattin How's legacy put the PCC'S finanoal posiknon on a much more Secu￿ footing for the foreseeable future. significantly reducing
the level of financial risk. The PCC is now working to ensure that the bequest is used to better our Parish and to place the annual

by higherspendinE on church activities and the choir. With significant fvrther expenditvre envisaged in cotning years Isee Plans for the
