Aims and Purpose
St Giles, Parochial Church Council IPCC} has the responsibility of co-operating
with the incumbent, the Rev. Andrew Knight in promoting within the parish the
ecumenical, evangelistic, pastoral and social mission of the church.
The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the church
buildings at St Giles Church, Wenlock Road, Shrewsbury and the parish hall on
Sutton Way, Shrewsbury.
Objectives and activities
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at St.
Giles and to become part of our church community. 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.

Structurei governance and management.
The method for appointing PCC member5 is set out in the Church
Representation Rules. At St Giles the PCC consists of the incumbent, the church
wardens, the readers, deanery synod representatives and those elected by
members of the congregation on the Electoral Roll of the parish. All those who
attend services are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll.
The members of the PCC are responsible for making decisions on all matters of
general concerns and importance to the parish including deciding how the

with any issue to be further discussed as necessary.

apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basi5.

other benefit derived from the capitsl may be restricted or unre5tritted. Full details of all thely
