The ministry team review and revise our services, as well as explore alternative styles of worship and arrange special services such as the memorial services and the Candlemas Christingle. Public Benefit The trustees of the PCC 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 5hrewsbury St Giles it helps to promote the whole mission of the Church (pastoral, evangelistic, Social and ecumenicall 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 individua15 and society as a whole
Achievements and Performance Worship and Proyer Regular weekly worship has been offered in church throughout the year, our regular service times are Sunday 8..00am Said Eucharist, Sunday 9..30am Parish Eucharist, on the first Sunday of the month this service is at 11..00am and Wednesday 10:00am Said Eucharist, the 2 said Eucharists following the Book Of Common Prayer liturgy and the Sung Eucharist following the Common Worship Liturgy. Alongside the services in church, we offer via Zoom Morning praye.r on Mondays and a social "Coffee and Catchup" on a Wednesday, along with a discussion group which meets fortnightly during school term times and integrates parkncipants both In person and joining via the Zoom platform. Lead by Rev Zoe Braven-Giles, our Prayer and Praise service continues to meet on the 3, Sunday of every month and is aimed for dedicating time to pray for St Giles and to explore forms of worship not Usually used at St Giles and has established a regular group of attendees. Rev Zoe Braven-Giles continues her curacy with us, and we continue to benefit from her energy, enthusiasm and fresh approach to the challenges facing us. Andrew and Zoe are supported by three retired clergy, the Revs. Judy Davies and Stuart Penny and Right Reverend Alistair McGowan to whom we extend a vote of thanks for their support. Rev. Judy Davies has decided to step down from covering services, her last service was the Parish Eucharist on December 14 . We extend a very grateful vote of thanks for all her support over the past th several years. The baptism information sessions have continued throughout the year for parents looking to bring their children for baptism. All are welcome at our regular Services. The Church Electoral Roll was renewed this year and there are currently 133 names on the roll. Average weekly attendance is 70 parishioners, a increase of 2 from the previous year.
As with our regular services, the opportunities we normally offer the wider community to celebrate and thank God for milestones through life, i.e., baptism, marriage and funerals. We have celebrated 7 baptisms, I wedding and held 5 funerals in church over the year, Deanery Synod Three members of the PCC sit on deanery synod. This provides an important link between the parish and the wider church. A report of all synod meetings is received at the PCC meetings and discussions held concerning any points ra ised. The Church Buildings The 3 main objectives for the church agreed at the away day session of the PCC was held in April 2022 were.. l Repair the church roof. 2 Open the church daily. 3 Create more space at the back of the church by removing some of the pews. Church Roof Although routine maintenance has so far prevented any serious further issues developing, this is now proving not to be effective, meaning it is more crucial than ever that the roof is renewed. The process of applying for a faculty has been started following a project specifi'cation drawn up by our church architect Tim Ratcliffe. Fundraising activity has continued throughout the year, and proceeds from the following have been passed to the roof fund: The Tile In Time appeal continues to regularly attract attention The sale of greetings cards made by several members of the congregation with artistic talent has continued. A Plant & Cake Sale was held with the proceeds going to the Roof Fund.
A Quiz Evening was arranged with the monies made via the ticket sales going to the Roof Fund. The oew Friday Creators group, a craft group organised by members of the congregation have been asking for donations to the Roof Fund for any repair workthey have undertaken. The application for the faculty to procced with the works was submitted to the DAC in 2024 but due to the complexity of the work proposed the DAC has requested clarification on some points and has also raised several further issues for investigation and consideration, meaning the faculty has yet to be granted. The PCC has engaged the services of a specialist to submit applications to grant awarding bodies to help with funding the work once the faculty has been granted. Church O enin We have been unable to reopen the church on a regular basis as homeless individuals are using the church porch to sleep In and can be very aggressive towards the volunteers unlocking the church, which are often lone females, therefore we are left with no alternative other than to leave the .church locked whilst they are present. The restructuring of the rear of the church has been left on hold until the roof is repaired. Pastoral Care The practice of taking sick communion out to any parishioners who request it continues and is well received by all who partake. The ABC club continues to meet weekly in term time and number attending have been rising, more helpers would be appreciated. Mission and Evangelism We continue to support Shrewsbury Youth for Christ & Shrewsbury Christian Centre Association (which operates the ARK homeless outreach centre in Shrewsburyl through regular financial support. Members of the congregation
also make donations of produce to Shrewsbury Food Bank. The car park at the Church Hall is also used to host a weekly Food Hub distribution point. For our charitable giving we continue to 5UPPOrt Self Help Africa, Shrewsbury Youth For Christ and Christians Against Poverty and the Sea Change Trust. These arrangements are now due to be reviewed during 2027. The Open The Book sessions at Mereside School have continued with a team of congregation members visiting the school to explore a well-known sertion of the bible in each session which is enjoyed by the children. The St Gile5 Community choir has met throughout the year, where'the wider population of the parish are invited to join a choir alongside regular congregation members led by our organist Dr Derry Bertenshaw. The choir has given several performances throughout the year, including in local care homes, the local hospice café and at a National Trust property. Catch Up Café continues to meet on Wednesdays, the sessions also acting as a Warm Hub and remain very popular, as does The Come for Company scheme which continues to operate in the church hall on the last Wednesday of each month. One member of our congregation has expressed a desire to explore her vocation further and is doing so by undertaking the Pathways To Ministry Course, which the PCC has agreed to fund for her. Ecumenical Relations The church is a memberof Churches Together In Shrewsbury and continuesto have close tie5 With the Greek Orthodox church who use the chapel of Sutton within the parish as well as the church hall. Financial Review
Donations rose to £81,094 in 2025 from £77,149 in 2024, and were supplemented byfundr8ising activities, and the church expenses for the same period fell to £90,829 in 2025 compared to £98.107 in 2024, the fall being due to not having a Parish Share deficit to pay back this year, as well 8S the one - off costs of repLacing the light fittings in church in 2024. Donations to restricted and designated funds totalled £4,006, predominateLyto the Roof Fund. Hire fees forthe church hall brought in a gross amount of £20,862, compared to £17,915 for the previous year. Christian Ministry expenses totalled £90,829 of which more than half was the £54,068 of requested Parish Share, with the next largest expense item being the church utilities bills at £6,483 Consequently, the net result for our unrestricted funds was a surplus of receipts over payments of £4,763. Adding bank and deposit balances together gives an unrestricted funds balance of £22,768 as of 31" December. Restricted and designated fund b8Lances totalled £199,239. Please see detailed notes for explanations of fund uses. A member of the congregation began to expLore the possibility of setting up a Friends of St Giles organisation, whlch has been approved and was hoped to launch in 2025, but due to a poor response it was decided to postpone the launch to 2026 and to transfer the first few subscriptions have already been paid to that year. Reserves Policy It is the poLicy of the PCC that reserves should be used for 8ny major expenses only and not for meetingthe day-to-day expenses of the church. We aim to keep the equivalent of four months expenses available, i.e. £30,276, in accordance with the Charitycommission goingconcern stipulations, the balance of these funds at the end of the year {of £24.957) is unfortunately somewhat belowthis level. Safeguarding
Mrs Alyson Saunders continues to perform the role of Safeguarding Officer and we are very thankful to her for her time and effort in the role, ensuring that we are kept up to date on all current requirements. There have been no incidents to report this year. 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). Volunteers We would like to thank all the volunteers who help to make St Giles the church it IS today. Thanks must be given to our church wardens Mrs Patricia Davies, Mrs Enid Pryce Jones and especially to Mrs Doreen Walker who stood down from the role this year. A150, we wish to extend a message of thanks to our readers Mrs Roz Abbott and Mrs Gill Carding, our sacristan Mr Roy Taylor and our treasurer Mr Tim Abbott. We would also wish to extend a special vote of thanks to our long serving secretary Mrs Lynne Hall and gift aid secretary Mrs Margaret Taylor for all their hard work, who have both stood down from their roles this year and we thank them for their dedication and hard work to the roles over many years. A vote of thanks needs to be given to Mr Norman Davies for the many different roles he has covered over the year including Fabric Overseer, sound System and Display Screen Co-ordinator and Heating System overseer amongst others, Norman is looking to reduce his workload and so any volunteers willing to take on some of this work would be most welcome. Rlsk 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 protettion 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.
