PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL

BACKGROUND

Ewhurst with Okewood & Forest Green PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England and operates under the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956.

It also has the maintenance responsibilities for the Church and the Church grounds. The PCC is registered with the Charity Commission.

MINISTER’S REPORT

As I write this, it is just over 2 years since Rev Clare Shepherd left us, and our parish entered a position of vacancy. It has been, and continues to be, my pleasure and privilege to be asked by Area Dean Roy Woodhams to continue to take services at St. Peter and St Paul's church. This I gladly and willingly do.

The past 12 months have been busy. There have been 2 weddings, 11 funeral services, 3 baptisms, and 4 burials of cremated remains, as well as the other weekly services, and the other celebratory services, such as Harvest, Remembrance, All Souls, Christmas, Ash Wednesday, Holy Week and Easter.

A very happy Songs of Praise evening was held in the grounds of the Old Rectory in the summer. As usual, I have taken a service of Holy Communion there on the first Wednesday of each month. These are always well attended. I am also often asked to go in to pray with individual residents.

We once again joined with the Baptist church for services on Palm Sunday and Good Friday, both of these following the traditional walk around the village, either with a donkey or carrying a cross. We also joined with them for the World Day of Prayer. 2 parishioners have received Holy Communion in their homes, as thy can no longer come to church.

APCM Report 2024

==> picture [485 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

I have continued to take a weekly assembly in Ewhurst Infants school. They came over to church for their end-of-year service. Then in September, a new head teacher was welcomed, Mr. Tim Cheesman, a committed Christian, who divides his working week between Ewhurst and Wonersh schools. He is very keen to foster the links with the church and the village. The children came over for their harvest service, and also at Christmas. They will be coming at Easter, then having an Easter egg hunt back in the school garden. They held a lovely Mothers' Day service in school, and a pet service. The children from Rainbows End nursery have also been over several times, and the Toddler group are having an Easter egg hunt too.

My sincere thanks to everyone who in any way helps to make the services run smoothly. It is a great pleasure and a privilege to be here. I hope and pray that I may continue to serve God and his people in this way, for as long as it is necessary. Thank you.

Rev’d Rosemary Mason

FROM THE CHURCHWARDENS Church Wardens Report for Ewhurst

Rev’d Clare Shepherd left us in February 2023 since when we have been without a rector so we are now coming to the end of our second year of vacancy and we thank God constantly that we have been blessed with having Rev’d Rosemary Mason, a PTO in the Guildford Diocese. Thanks to her dedication and love for the church and village, we have had scheduled services every month, festivals, weddings, funerals, baptisms and pastoral care, thereby providing a secure and loving base for the church to continue to serve the parish. Liz Coleman is also an integral part of the Church, arranging the schedule of services and dealing with the queries and demands that continually come into the office. We are so lucky to have such a competent, smiling, helpful member of the team.

As you will be aware, the diocese has agreed that the Benefice of Ewhurst, Okewood and Forest Green (EOFG) will be dissolved as it has not been a happy alliance. This takes time as the legalities and finances have to be dealt with and as we know, the Church is not known for its speed. We have to prepare a new Parish Profile, Statement of Needs and the Church Development Plan, which I am delighted to say Martin Lockwood, our Deputy Church Warden, has agreed to work on. We will have to advertise the House for Duty vacancy again. We had a 3 month let through the diocese in the summer before the vacancy could be advertised. Then in the autumn we had 3 months with the advert in the Church Times, but not one iota of interest – very depressing. However, our new Arch Deacon, Catharine Mabuza, is very upbeat about our success this time as we will be advertising as a stand-alone parish church. Again, however, until the diocese agrees on the amount of the Parish Share we will have to pay, we cannot go forward.

We have been incredibly lucky to have found a Heritage stonemason of immense experience in all things building who has been prepared to help with the preservation of the church building, repairing many different problems of the structure much of which is the result of years of neglect – understandably to an extent as a 12[th] century building is bound to need expensive attention as buildings do not last forever. Martin Lockwood, our Deputy Church Warden, knows a great deal about building and has been kept very busy

APCM Report 2024

applying for all the faculties the diocese has to grant for what needs to be done in order of necessity and ability to pay. See separate report.

The question of a defibrillator was raised in the last report. Various companies seem to offer a bargain but when the suggestion is investigated it turns out to cost nearly £1,000 when the extra costs like installation and servicing are added which make it impossible to afford. At present, our nearest defibrillator is installed in the porch of the Glebe Centre down the hill. There was also the necessity of having a First Aider at the church services. One course on which I have been given information costs £700 for 12 people for a 6 hour course so I will look further. I think it would be a good idea to put a poster out in the village inviting people to join a basic course and see if we can get sufficient people to join in. All we need is a basic course, so hopefully we can manage that.

In the meantime, we carry on and hope that one suitable priest sees our advert and feels convinced it is just where they want to be.

Liz Tingley, Church Warden

Parish Share/Rectory lets.

A meeting was held on February 3[rd] between Archdeacon Catharine Mabuza; Inigo Churchill, Director of Finance, Guildford Diocese; Tom Murphy, Clive Ward, and Tony Gauvain, to consider both the Ewhurst and Okewood / FG parish share, in the light of the planned pastoral reorganisation. A special case was made by and for Okewood/FG. No decisions were made, and the matter remains under consideration. The possibility of renting out the rectory at Ewhurst for short term lets during Vacancy was also discussed and it was agreed that consideration would be given to a written proposal. Reorganisation timescale

Diocesan advice is that Pastoral reorganisation usually takes at least 6 months, if not longer, depending on when meetings are happening and how quickly the Church Commissioners respond. The draft proposals will be going to the DMPC for their approval on 3[rd] March 2025, after which time it goes to the Bishop for his views. On receipt of his approval, it then goes to the Church Commissioners. So the likely timescale for that will be mid-March latest. If the Church Commissioners can turn it around within a month, it will then go out for formal consultation mid to late April for a further 6 weeks. If there are no objections the scheme will be made by the Church Commissioners sometime in June, and it would then most likely come into effect between 1[st] July 2025 and 31[st] September 2025. Newsletters

The next Ewhurst and Ellens Green newsletter, which is due to be published in early 2025, April will carry a notice advertising for a new editor, and will carry ‘Church News’ on the back page.

Church Warden Report for Okewood and Forest Green

This time a year ago we were advertising for a new Rector for Ewhurst, Okewood and Forest Green. Much has happened in the meanwhile. Following a series of meetings with the diocese hierarchy and an open meeting of the PCC, it was agreed that EOFG would be divided, with Ewhurst again becoming a parish in its own right, with Okewood and Forest Green also stepping out as a separate parish.

It was initially expected that this would be a relatively quick and painless process, scheduled for completion by the end of February 2025. This has now been shown to be optimistic; ‘the mills of the Church of England grind exceeding slow’. At each stage approval has to be sought and given by a series of committees. If there are no objections and all goes smoothly the new parishes will launch sometime between July and September of this year.

Although this is frustrating, it has given us time to prepare and plan at Okewood and Forest Green. Revd Peter Nevins, the vicar of South Holmwood and Dorking Area Dean will be our Priest-in-Charge, exercising oversight of the new parish. He has visited our congregations, and we are looking forward to getting to know him better. John Marsh, our dedicated local priest, has continued to give his time and his wisdom generously. Volunteers have come forward to fill all of the official posts required by the diocese. We are confident that by the time we launch everything we need will be in place.

Our giving has held up well during the vacancy, and there have been some new regular givers. We are very grateful to all those who give generously, and to the Friends’ charities which are so supportive of our churches.

We have not stood still and marked time during the extended vacancy. The full range of services we offer has continued in our churches, and there have been many highlights in the past year. Christmas saw full churches for the Crib service, as well as ‘9 lessons and Carols’ services in Forest Green. All-age services have continued in Okewood under the leadership of Jan Moir. The Okewood Christmas Day service, led by Bishop Peter Hancock and accompanied on the organ by Maureen, was another highlight of the season As ever special thanks are due to Elizabeth Coleman, our excellent parish administrator who works tirelessly and patiently to keep us all on track. Thanks also go to our team of dedicated helpers who maintain the buildings, clean the churches, care for the gardens, arrange flowers, run the pastoral services and many activities of the parish, and to those who support our services: lay preachers, organists, singers, vergers, sides-people, intercessors, refreshment providers and our faithful worshippers. If the vacancy has taught us one thing, it is the importance of us all contributing in whatever way we can to the church.

Please continue to pray for our parish and for guidance for the future. We are very grateful for your support.

Tom Murphy, Church Warden

Ewhurst Church Fabric Report

During this past year we have made considerable progress in restoration and repair works with the appointment of our new Inspecting architect / Surveyor, Ryan Bunce, and with the great works by Jamie Barnett whose expertise and experience has been amazing in tackling so many areas and different types of repairs.

APCM Report 2024

In addition to these repairs, we have formed the “Ewhurst Church Preservation Fund” to raise much need funds to finance future restoration work including the urgent need to repair the eroding and delaminated stone facing to the church walls, which has been reported in the architects Quinquennial reports as a matter in need of attention. We have also refurbished and put in place the Ewhurst Church Model as a donation box set at rear pew in the church, which is already receiving donations from our visitors.

We are seeking quotations for replacing the guttering and downpipes as required in the architects reports as these badly corroded and failing, which we hope to undertake this summer.

Our surveyor is currently producing a highly detailed report with marked up photographs and specifications for the restoration work to the stone-faced walls that has been identified in the reports.

We have sought and obtained Diocese faculty consents for the following works most of which has now been completed. Repairs and re pointing of the tiled flooring in the church, Installation of memorial bench, removal of dead Hawthorn tree, cutting back of overhanging trees to Wilson room, replacement of existing guttering, replacing missing roof stone slab over Vestry, refurbishment of the Nave and Transept oak doors, repairs to the badly damaged font, new waste bin enclosure to churchyard Ashes area, Repointing and repairs to the brick drainage channels, rebuilding the disabled access to the porch entrance, repairs to the west porch roofing, refurbishment and varnishing to the Wilson room south doors.

Other works have included repairs to Wilson room roof and replacing damage tiles, fitting PIR lighting in church to help visitors,

Future works planned include Installation of Fibre broadband lines to the Wilson room and to the Vestry, replacement of entrance door mats, waste bin enclosure in churchyard, and repairs and repainting of old water damage on church walls.

DEANERY SYNOD

Deanery Synod meeting Monday 8[th] July 2024 at St Nicholas, Alfold.

A poll was sent out prior to the meeting to ascertain if people would prefer 2 or 3 meetings each year. The majority said , so 2 deanery synod meetings will be held annually; Roy added that an extra meeting will be added if needed.

Roy welcomed Archdeacon Catharine Mabuza thanking her for agreeing to join us at her first meeting in the diocese.

She introduced herself by asking: ‘Where have you seen God at work?’ and invited small group discussions before feeding back to the whole group.

Prior to the meeting, members had been invited to send questions to her, which she answered.

She is the first woman archdeacon in the diocese and is aware of her role in encouraging diversity and women in leadership.

There are 80 parishes that she works with so is prioritizing those that are in vacancy -10 at present.

APCM Report 2024

==> picture [485 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

Guildford diocese is privileged to have so many parishes with 1 vicar : 1 church or 1 vicar : 2/3 churches. Lots of rural deaneries have 1 vicar : 7+ churches. Cranleigh is the most rural deanery in the diocese.

Catharine’s question to us all was: What are the joys in your parishes? To which each parish gave their answer. What are the challenges?

AD Catharine was disappointed with the result of the vote to meet only twice a year and hoped that that would change.

Saturday 26th November 2024

Cranleigh Deanery Synod held a Strategy Morning at St Nicolas Church 10am – 1pm. An opportunity for teams from parishes to come together to consider their priorities and plans. All incumbents were invited along with up to 12 members of the core team – PCC, staff and leadership.

To follow: 1. Incumbent meeting in Jan 2025 for 1/1.4 hrs.

Follow up in Feb for 2 -3hrs
Check with the incumbent in Feb/March
An Archdeacons visitation after the check in March/April to talk about the Church development plan.

As we have no incumbent, no staff and no leadership, I politely absented Ewhurst from this Strategy Morning.

16[th] October 2024

On Wednesday 16[th] October a Deanery Synod Social evening was held, cheese, wine and an inspirational talk from guest speaker David Senior. A very pleasant evening and an excellent talk.

GLEBE COFFEE MORNING

The Glebe Coffee Morning continues to flourish and now has regularly around thirty participants each week.

We have gained some more volunteer cake makers this year and the committee is very grateful to everyone who helps to make the Coffee Morning such a success.

In July, we held our annual lunch at the refurbished Bull’s Head. Forty friends enjoyed lunch and friendship there.

In August, our volunteers had their Helper’s Lunch in the Glebe Centre, to thank them for their continued support.

At the end of November, we had a visit to Newbridge Nurseries for coffee/tea and mince pies and a chance to make a start with our Christmas shopping.

At Christmas, we had our usual visit from the Village School children. Thirty two children from years one and two entertained us with songs from their Nativity Play.

At our Christmas Special morning, Revd Rosemary Mason and Ben Scadden from the Baptist church led the short service. Val Henry kindly accompanied our carol singing on the piano. We had requests for favourite carols too this year. We enjoyed the seasonal food and handmade bags filled with goodies to take home. The bags were made by Jan Jesson. The Coffee Morning takes place each Wednesday morning from 10.30 - 12.00. All age groups are welcome. We are always happy to welcome new friends and you can be assured of a warm welcome. Transport can be arranged.

NEWS AND VIEWS

The quarterly Parish Magazine has continued to be published throughout 2024. The editorial team set up in 2023 continued to operate through 2024. This consisted of Amanda Elsdon-Dew, Josh Root, Barry Thomson, Robin Stride, Mariia Kovalska, John White and me. Their dedication and enthusiasm has been wonderful and it has been a delight to operate with all of them. They have all done a really good job for the Parish and we should give them our heartfelt thanks.

Over this period our Parish has grown as new houses and occupancy has increased. We also cover all pubs, clubs, shops and businesses. Therefore our print production run has grown from 1,750 copies (and continues to grow). We must also give grateful thanks to our printers, Top Print (Andrew Lock) as he really does give us preferential rates thus keeping our costs down.

We all must remember that we would not have a magazine if we did not have commercial advertisers. Our turnover in costs has grown dramatically over the last two years, just to keep pace with inflation. Generally all our advertisers have been very loyal to us and as nearly all of them are local businesses which we should support whenever we can. Our turnover for 2024 was £7,185. We still had approximately 40 commercial advertisers. There have been some changes to the production and editorial for 2024 and I intend to stand down after the 2024 Winter edition. We need more people to step up and we will need a new Editor for 2025.

Finally, it must be always remembered that this is a Church Parish magazine. It must, at all times ensure that Church Faith is at the forefront of the production.

Peter Bennett, Editor

YOUTH TEAM

Much has happened since last year’s APCM. After much prayer and discussion, with heavy hearts we felt it was right to disband the YT from the end of the school summer term 2024 and sadly made up the school and nurseries bags for the last time. All Age Services at Okewood were organised and run by the youth team and since July 2024 these services have continued, being run by the same people but as individuals.

As a small group we felt we were no longer able to offer the time needed to put on children/youth/family events We will always be ready to help and support future events across the parish should this be requested.

When we knew our three churches were to become a new parish in 2018, the YT from Ewhurst and Okewood met together, joined forces and worked together immediately, before our new rector was appointed.

B elow is a list of all that has been achieved between 2018 to date:

Members of the team have attended in Guildford, Diocesan Training Days and also Safeguarding Training.

Prior to Covid, All Age Services at Okewood and 20/20 Services, including puppets, at SPSP.

Preparing and leading Crib Services at Okewood and SPSP, encouraging youngsters to take part. Organising Christmas Crib Posada which circulated through our village

APCM Report 2024

==> picture [485 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

Monthly All Age Services at Okewood, encouraging youngsters to take part – which they do!

During Covid, Easter and Pentecost, services and weekly bedtime stories were filmed and

School assemblies.

Involvement with school services held in SPSP.

Three times a year bags containing activities, crafts, sweets and ‘something’ sharing the Christian message have been distributed at the school as well as Okewood and Rainbows

Trips to Air Hop in Guildford. Movie Time showing films in Wilson Room with drinks and popcorn. Running craft/activity stalls at local fetes.

Fun Days.

Members of both congregations and friends have helped with some of the above, so it really has been a ‘team’ effort and we are very grateful for the help, support and prayers which have been vital.

We have had a wonderful time getting to know each other, making new friends and sharing Jesus with the children and families across our parish and pray this will continue. Why? Because ‘the harvest is plenty’.

BABY & TODDLER GROUP

We have had another successful year, with lots of families consisting of Mums, Dads and Grandparents. They have brought babies of different ages and young and older toddlers. They are a friendly group always keen to welcome new people and quickly making new friends. A few of the Toddlers have now started at Rainbows and it’s lovely to see the difference in them, with sharing and developing more social skills.

We have been able to offer a welcome with friendship, fresh filter coffee and tea. We then encourage free play with a choice of lots of different toys, plus great craft with Mary. We have been able to celebrate Christmas, Mothering Sunday, Red Nose day, and our annual Easter egg hunt in the church which we combine with our yearly fire drill.

This last Christmas we had a party, plus the Nativity story told kindly by Rev Rosemary Mason followed up with Away in a Manger and Jingle Bells.

Each week we have a fruit snack and the toddlers are all encouraged to sit at the table. This is followed up with a singalong with shakers, the children are again encouraged to sit in a little chair to be given a shaker. We celebrate any birthdays with the children, parents and grandparents.

Mary, Kate, Pam and Graham have continued to be a great asset to the group. Graham has helped set up each week, with Pam offering cover when needed.

The numbers of families attending varies each week, they come from Ewhurst, Cranleigh, Ellens Green and Rudgwick. We are happy to offer any parenting advice and support when requested. We have continued to ask for £1 per family which we use for coffee, tea, fruit snacks, craft materials and party food at Christmas.

I am hoping to set up Parenting classes with Mary using the Family Caring Trust material which Elizabeth has helped me to collate.

MUSIC

As I pen this report, fragments of the Women’s World Day of Prayer, keep popping into my mind. A Service representing the 200 years of Christianity of the womenfolk of the Cook Islands (Pacific Ocean) – all this from within the walls of Ewhurst Baptist Church – worldwide travel without the air miles! A very interesting and worthwhile service. My thanks to Reverend Rosemary and Jane Harry, in particular, for their readiness and ability to enable this experience. The banana melt was memorable!!..

It is always a treat to experience how others worship – the music, liturgy, variety. THE CHOIR is a very important asset to our church. It enables the congregation to participate not only in the sung elements but in the corporate responses; they are integral to the integrity of worship. Furthermore, they participate in the weekly rehearsals, services and events outside the walls of St Peter and St Paul: i.e. Summer Songs of Praise in the grounds of The Old Rectory Nursing Home, Christmas Carol Singing around the village.

Interested in joining? Want to know more? Then contact me, Valerie Currently we do not have any choristers under the age of 18, this is not an uncommon situation within The Church of England. I am delighted, however, to report that the youngsters of David Minns day are doing exceedingly well in their musicianship and associated skills. Music is a powerful attribute and can give one so much confidence. Our Adult Choir is beyond thanks. They are an amazing group of individuals who are real enablers and I am so blessed to have them. Their attributes bring so much to our services and to my humble offerings.

The run-up to Christmas was hectic but thoroughly enjoyable and with the help of occasional contributors – singers, musicians - added to the magic of Christmas. Thank you ALL.

Today is the first Sunday of Lent, QUADRAGESIMA, and in the stillness of our 12 century church we shall sing Evensong from The Book Music of Common Prayer. A perfect way to start the week.

Val Henry, Director of Music Ewhurst

BELL RINGING

The band of bellringers is still going, but not as strong as it was in 2023 as the number of ringers reduced by 6 in 2024. Jan Jesson, our bell captain, retired for health reasons after many years of service leading and growing the team, Val Jolly moved to Devon, Bella went to university, and the 3 teenage girls that joined at the end of 2022 to “ring for the king” do not have the time now with other activities.

Rob Matthews has taken over as bell captain and leads the remaining band comprising Sue, Dave, Dee, Clive, Lucy and Kelvin. Lucy and Kelvin joined in 2023 and are now full members of the band. Graham Lucas, the Cranleigh bell captain, has been visiting us on Wednesdays to share his invaluable teaching skills.

Since the restoration of our bells in 2018, they have become popular with visiting ringers from around the country. We allowed several quarter peals (45 minutes) but only 2 full peals (3 hours) as we are cognisant of the impact these have in the village. We received much positive feedback on these and only 1 complaint and even then, the complainant became supportive after we showed them round the bell tower.

We are in need of more ringers to help keep the tradition alive and would welcome newcomers of any age.

HOSPITALITY GROUP

The PCC Charities Group has undergone a change in the last year and, with the approval of the PCC, has changed its name and it’s remit from a Charities Group to a Hospitality Group.

This change has come about as we recognised that we were more and more providing hospitality for church events – lunch after the Harvest Festival, tea and cakes after the All Souls Service, and so on. We were no longer able to fulfil our original remit of raising funds specifically for outside charities, but have instead found ourselves in the role of providing support (and nourishment) for church events in general.

Having said that, and acknowledging how important that is for the life of the church, we continue to keep an eye on what we can do to raise some funds for local causes. A surplus from the Harvest lunch last October enabled us to give a small donation to Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice of around £110.

We have just provided the catering for the Quiz Night, run by Jane and Geoff Harry, which raised £1380, £700 of which has gone to FSPSP and £680 to the Riverside Trust for use at Vaughan House.

Our next venture is to return to the Lent lunches, always popular but less frequented in recent years. Any surplus from these lunches, which are primarily run for the companionship and friendship which we all benefit from, will again go to a local cause close to our heart.

Humanitarian Aid to Ukraine

The Spring Collection in 2024 was one of the largest we have received, with a wide range of goods from clothing to mobility aids, nappies to sweet & toys, garden & household equipment, plus medicines, bedding & toiletries. It did all go into the van, but only just. Donations came from all three churches, the Baptist church and the wider community including the local schools.

The Harvest Collection in September was also a parish initiative advertised in News & Views but also in the three parish churches, around Ewhurst, Ewhurst village school and Pre-school. The Baptist church was also informed of the Collection. The collection received generous Christmas items and essentials for the children of Chernobyl in Ukraine. The Items began their journey with a trip to the charity’s warehouse in Canterbury, then by lorry to Poland where they were transferred to Ukrainian lorries, to make a “Happy Christmas” for the children.

FRIENDS REPORTS

Friends of St Peter & St Paul, Ewhurst

There have been slight changes to the board of trustees this year. Martin Lockwood stood down as an ex-officio trustee when he was no longer churchwarden, with this role passing to the new churchwarden Tony Gauvain.

Martin remained as a co-opted trustee, as a building advisor, but sadly had to step down. His time as trustee was much appreciated. Jan Allen was unanimously re-elected as a trustee by the other trustees on the board, when her tenure came to an end in November As usual, FSPSP hosted various schools to enjoy learning about the history of our lovely church. This included three from Sayers Croft and two visits from Rainbows End Pre School. Janet Balchin, one of our trustees gave history talks to the village school and three U3A groups.

Our Fundraising continued to involve the community with Geoff Harry’s Quiz with the money raised split equally between the Friends and Vaughan House in Guildford. The Easter Market in March had much better weather than in the past, a wide array of stalls and plenty of people. Next was our main event, the Family Fun Day at Sayers Croft in July. This year, Ewhurst History Society joined us with a “Meet the Romans” event by the Round House which gave another dimension to the day. Once again, the weather was kind, and we had good attendance and an excellent profit from the Raffle to boost our funds.

As usual, the Friends and the Ewhurst History Society had a joint stall at the Rectory Fete in September and our banners and activity packs were on show in the church as it was also Heritage Weekend.

Christmas a was a good time of year for us with Christmas cards selling well, plus a bonus with an invitation from the Bulls Head to host a carol singing Eve. The church choir kindly came to make this happen and also generously donated the proceeds from their carol singing at other village venues. The Friends and Ewhurst History Society came together again with a joint stall at the Village school Christmas Market.

Our thanks must go to our loyal supporters and volunteers who help at our many events. These would not happen without them.

Our efforts to get a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) have been less successful. We submitted a bid for a grant above £250,000 in September but were advised to re-submit for a grant below £250,000 as it is less competitive at this level. This involved re-writing quite a lot of the application, which was re-submitted in December for a grant of £204,000. Sadly, we heard in February 2025 that this was not accepted. However, FSPSP can re-apply, which we plan to do later in 2025.

FSPSP very much appreciated the support from many village organisations who contributed to the application both through their support and involvement with plans for community links.

FSPSP will continue fundraising for the urgently needed restoration of the south transept, both through new grant applications and continued fundraising events. FSPSP continues to send Reports to EOFG for all PCC meetings as well as keeping their supporters updated.

Jan Allen kindly sends out regular information e-mails to our registered supporters and Geoff Harry works hard to keep the website updated, as information is sent to him. During the year, FSPSP sent articles to all editions of News & Views and the Ewhurst & Ellens Green Newsletter.

The trustees of The Friends had 4 meetings during the course of the year.

As requested by Barclays Bank a new bank account was opened for the charity and became active from May 2024.

A new Facebook page for The Friends was set up by Sarah Murphy.

A team led by Liz Thorne arranged a “Bluebell Walk” in Chapel Copse in April providing tea, coffee and cake for visitors which raised awareness of Okewood Church and raised a small amount of funds.

During the course of the year a donation of £200 was received from “Kindred Spirits”. Phil Waller agreed to arrange a second “Night at the Musicals” fund-raising event in the Spring of 2025 following the success of this event in November 2023.

In view of the deterioration of the very old Christmas crib a local resident, Richard Mlarnic, agreed to construct a new crib and The Friends arranged for new set of nativity figures to be acquired. The crib was completed during the year and used at the Crib Service on Christmas Eve to widespread acclaim.

Friends of Holy Trinity, Forest Green

It has been a quiet year for the Friends with the highlight being our bi-annual fundraiser, once again featuring musical duo Isosceles and local rock legends Bill and Oscar Cuthbert. A tremendous evening raised nearly £2,000 which leaves us with a healthy bank balance for future spend.

A number of small issues raised in the last Quinquennial have been addressed and we await the next – due this year – with bated breath. We already know that the roof will need replacing in the next 10-15 years while heating may well also need refreshing.

We are also alert to the parish’s need to fundraise harder for its share so foresee something of a balancing act over the next few years, highlighting more than ever the need to support both the building and the ministry.

EWHURST C of E INFANT SCHOOL

At the end of the 2023-24 academic year Jonathan Walters completed a 2 year term as headteacher of Ewhurst School. We were incredibly fortunate to have Jonathan lead our school through a process of transformation following our OFSTED inspection. Jonathan built a vibrant team around him, implemented new curricula, and actioned an ambitious improvement strategy that has seen our school flourish.

In September 2024, Tim Cheesman became Executive Headteacher at Ewhurst School in addition to his role as headteacher at Wonersh and Shamley Green Church of England Primary School (WSG) which he has lead since September 2020. Tim brought with him a wealth of experience and a legacy of success in leading small schools that has helped Ewhurst move from strength to strength. Tim’s appointment was made possible by the

APCM Report 2024

hard work and support of the Diocese, SAfE (School’s Alliance for Excellence) and the Local Authority.

Tim’s appointment represents an important opportunity to build strong leadership that will drive improvement, support success, and ensure a sustainable future for our school. Collaboration with WSG is an opportunity to enrich our school by sharing resources, expertise and best practice for the benefit of our staff and pupils.

The quality of education at Ewhurst School remains a top priority. We are extremely proud of our children’s academic achievements. Last year 100% of our Year 1 children passed the National Phonics Check, significantly ahead of both the national (79%) and Surrey (81%) pass rates.

Ewhurst School continues to face major financial challenges due to falling enrolment. At present the school is at less than 50% capacity. Our beautiful albeit old building presents maintenance and major works challenges. Ewhurst School has been very fortunate to receive financial support from, among others, the Ewhurst Charity, the school’s trust, the PTA, and SAfE.

Ewhurst School continues to benefit hugely from its ties to the community. End of term services in the Church and other special events such as the Christingle service are looked forward to by the children and their families. We have been very fortunate to have had the fundraising support of the staff at Eden’s Hair Salon, the Bull’s Head, the Fabulous Nobodies, and the team from Secret Gardens – to name but a few! It was wonderful to see so many from the community attend the Ewhurst Christmas Fair, hosted by the school, for carols and mince pies, and a lovely craft market.

SAFEGUARDING

Sarah Smith resigned as Parish Safeguarding Officer on 28[th] May 2024. We have had no Safeguarding Officer in the Parish this year. The PCC members are up to date with the required levels and should there be a worry about any safeguarding issue, we would contact Roy Woodhams, our Area Dean, who would contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor.

Our Parish states that we take the safeguarding of our children and vulnerable adults very seriously. This is the responsibility of everyone. Along with the Incumbent, the PCC provide a vital role in promoting a safer environment. Safeguarding training is key in reminding people of their responsibilities and also to help them feel confident in how to report and respond, should they become aware of a potential safeguarding issue. Safeguarding training by members of the PCC has been carried out over the year.

If you have any queries or concerns, however big or small, even if you are not sure if it is a concern or not, please always follow the correct procedure, by reporting as soon as possible, preferably within 24 hours, to any of the following people: Parish Safeguarding Officer: Vacant

THE PARISH OF EWHURST WITH OKEWOOD AND FOREST GREEN INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE PARISH OF EWHURST WITH OKEWOOD AND FOREST GREEN

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Parish of Ewhurst with Okewood and Forest Green (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.

Independent examiner's statement

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. I understand that this has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act 2011.
2) the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3) the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a true and fair view, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I would like to draw attention to the fact that the prior year figures have been realigned due to the change in software and new coding system. The realignment has affected the breakdown of income and expenditure only, with headline total figures remaining in line with the prior year. Other than stated above, I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

Notes - Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102") and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.

The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 (the '2008 Regulations') requires charities to prepare their accounts in accordance with 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005' but this accounting standard has since been withdrawn and has been replaced by the Charities SORP mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The charity has prepared these financial statements in accordance with the new Charities SORP; this departure from the 2008 Regulations is believed to be necessary for these financial statements to give a 'true and fair view'.

The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out in the accounting policies below.

The prior year figures have been realigned due to a change in software and new coding system. The realignment has affected the breakdown of income and expenditure only, with headline total figures remaining in line with the prior period.

Going Concern

The Trustees consider The Parish of Ewhurst with Okewood and Forest Green PCC is going concern at the date for approving the accounts. There are no material uncertainties that the charity can continue as a going concern for the next year.

Key Risks & Uncertainties

The charity is exposed to various risks, including operational, financial and reputational risks. The trustees review the charity's activities regularly to identify significant risks and, where possible, they take appropriate measures to mitigate those risks.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have set aside resources for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or the term of specific appeal. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.

Governance costs include costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity. Governance costs are shown within ‘Analysis of Expenditure’ note.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation

The trustees do not consider that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.

In preparing financial statements certain judgements, estimates and assumptions have to be made that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The trustees consider the following to be significant:

The annual depreciation charge for property, plant and equipment is sensitive to changes in the estimates for useful economic life and residual value. These estimates are reassessed annually and, when necessary, adjusted to reflect current circumstances.
The constructive obligation for grants payable is based on an assessment of the likely duration of the supported activity. This estimate is re-assessed annually and the obligation is adjusted to reflect current expectations.

Concessionary Loans

No Loans

THE PARISH OF EWHURST WITH OKEWOOD AND FOREST GREEN INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE PARISH OF EWHURST WITH OKEWOOD AND FOREST GREEN

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Parish of Ewhurst with Okewood and Forest Green (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act 2011.
2) the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3) the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a true and fair view, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
