Trustees, Review of 2024
How did we meet our goals for 2024?
Old Town Partnership
Our Bible verse for the year was Psalm 121,. '1 lift my eyes to the hills,'from where will my help comeP My
help comesfrom the Lord who made heaven and earth,.
On the back of the prayers cards we circulated again our Partnership Prayer for Growth.
The Old Town Partnership of Churches Mlssion Project, supporting the work of Swindon Youth for Christ
and Swlndon Street Pastors was a great success. We are grateful for all those mernber5 of the partnership
churches for helping us to raise £9600 (check this amount) substantially exceeding our target of £6000. In
addition, many new friendships were developed with good contacts across our Swindon Borough. Messy
Church has grown steadily. 12 candidates from our three churches were confirmed at a memorable servlce
on October 13th at Bath Road Methodist Church, The following Sunday, St Luke's Day 20th October, many
th
partnership friends joined us to celebrate Margaret Williams, 50 anniversary as a Licensed Lay Minister.
Presentlng the Chrlstian Faith
th
At the APCM on 30 April we thanked Nitin Shinde and Jim D'Avila for their years of service as Church
Wardens. We were very pleased to appoint two new Church Wardens. Simon Giles and Sheila Wright,
alongside Helen Hartnell as our PCC Secretary. The PCC, alongside the congregation, encouraged the
growth of discipleship and new Christian vocations in many creative ways, for example, the Spiritual
Reflection lunchtime group Yreasure Together, on Mondays, and the lona social justice worship gathering
monthly at St Mary's on Friday mornings. Our PCC Children and Young Families Working Group has
encouraged the growth of our children's ministry, supporting Little Fishes Parent and Toddler Group on
Thursday mornings in the Community Centre, The new Welcome Area with small kitchen facilities has
been a great success and is widely used, particularly with our Wednesday evening Fellowship of Faith and
Bible Encounter Groups and our many outreach concerts supporting local charities. Our vicar, the
st
Reverend Canon Simon Stevenette's Extended Developmental Study Leave from May I to September 1st
was very well handled by the staff team and congregation. On return in September Simon shared three
Page 3 of 25

particular focuses of his extended retreat, firstly the importance of encouraging emotional and spiritual
wellbeing, secondly renewed ecumenical vision and thirdly building bridges through sports ministry and
chaplaincy at Swindon Town Football Club. We were shattered at the tragic death of our friend and
colleague Jo Porter, one of our All Age Worship leaders and primary school teacher at East Wichel School
on Mothering sunday. We welcomed bac1( the Revd. Jo Northey, previous curate at Christ Church, who
preached at Jo's funeral in Christ Church on 4th April. We have supported each other in the bereavement
and pastoral questions arising from Jo's death, for example with two mental health check-ins at Fellowship
of Faith. We were very pleased that James Davies-spratt was accepted by Bristol Diocese for his Formation
Year as a prospective Lay Minister.
Restructuring the Christ Church Site
The PCC made full use of our Church Plan developed by lan Farr, ensuring we keep on track with our
priorities, time allocation and finance5. We extended the hours of our Communications Assistant, Steve
Cox, particularly helping us mal(e more grant applications in addition to the excellent communications
which Steve and the team encourage. The 'One Christ Church, vision continues to bear fruit, with
considerable progress made on our grounds and on the Jubilee Memorial Garden. We are especially
appreciative of the Building Committee and the Eco Group for 311 their hard work on our behalf, making
sure that our many guests are welcomed, l(ept safe, and benefit from being with us in the activitles offered
throughout the site.
Transforming Church Together
We continue to play a full part in Transforming Church Together within our Parish, Old Town Partnership,
Swindon Deanery and Bristol Diocese. Unfortunately our application for a Growing Faith Chaplain was not
accepted on the first round, but we were encouraged to apply again in the future. The South Swindon
Mission Area application was not taken forward but we have continued to support our colleagues in Parks
& Walcot and Wroughton & Wichelstowe wherever possible, We have been vey pleased to welcome
Bishop Neil and his wife Helen on many occasions at St Mary's and then Christ Church, for example, on
Mothering Sunday, when Bishop Neil presided, preached, and was interviewed about his life, and then a150
was one of the confirming ministers at the Partnership Confirmation Service. Then during Advent it was a
joyto have Helen as one of our readers at the Advent Carol Service and for Bishop Neil to preach at our
outstanding Candlelit Carol Servlce on 22nd December. Flnally, the following day, Bishop Neil returned as a
Ilfelong Nottingham Forest supporter, to preach at one of our best ever Swindon Town Football Club Carol
Services, when he also blessed the first ever Swindon Town Football Club Bibles which were a gift from
Good News for Everyone.
In conclusion, we give praise to God for all the ways he blessed us with his presence duringthe last year,
enabling us to be a blessing to others as we shared comfort and joy which was the theme for all of our
Advent and Christmas activities.
Community Outreach
Our employed community centre team allows us the opportunity to reach new people in our community.
The centre team have become much more intertwined with the church team this year thanks to the clarity
of our 'One Christ Church, vision, with the aim of all working well together at Christ Church.
This year we continued our weel(Iy afternoon tea sessions providing fellowship and friendship for many in
our community, many of whom are dementia sufferers. The launch of a new lunch club has helped to bring
Page 4 of 25

people from both the church and wider community together forfood and friendship. Number5 have
gradually increased and lonely people are relishing weekly time and conversations with others.
We have started to use the church for more events this year helping to fundraise for the upkeep as well as
show that we can achieve high quality events at Christ Church. We have organised a wide variety of new
events this year including An evening with Henry viii, comedy nights in partnership with the Swindon Old
Town Comedy club, I, Christ Church dog fun run, an audience with Nick Hewer and many concerts such as
th
Classical Candlelight, REM tribute, Jazz and many more. Our annual beer festival now in its 12 year and
brought more than 1200 onto our site showing the variety of events we offer to reach our community.
Since the new floor and chairs at St Mary's we have seen an increase in the usage by many groups in our
community including churches, fitness, Pilates and children's play groups. It has become a real hub of
activity,
What are our Goals for 2025?
Old Town Partnership
Starting from our Bible verse for the Year Romans 8.14,,
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are chlldren of God, we will build on a strong theological
foundation wil'h much to look forward to. On the back of our prayer card to the congregation we have
clrculated our Partnership Prayer for Growth,.
'God of mission
Who alone brings growth to your church,
Send your Holy Spirit
To give vision to our planning,
Wisdom to our actions
And power to our witness.
Help all our Partnership churches to grow in numbers,
In spiritual commitment to you
And in service to our Swindon community.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen,
This Bible verse was chosen to focus our attention on growing our ministry with children and families by
developing Messy Church, our work in primary and secondary schools and all being well, by running a
children's Holiday Club for 5 to 11 year old children at Immanuel Church on 28th July to 1st August. The
partnership will be running a Lent Course again on Wednesday evenings on the message of Ephesians for
th
th
Today in a café church style from 7pm to 8.30pm from 12 March to April 16 inclusive in Christ Church,
th
We look forward to welcoming Bishop Neil to lead the three Hours at the Cross on Good Friday 18 April at
th
Christ Church. Our confirmation service will be at Immanuel Church on May 11 10.30am as our great
friend Robertjordan prepares for his retirement in 2026. To encourage laughter and joy, we have invited
the Christian comedian Paul Kerenza for an evening on 4th July.
Presenting the Christian Faith through Transforming Church Together
We have been very pleased in Epiphany to share widely the Rhythm for Life resources developed by Bristol
Diocese, alongside having our first Epiphany Carol Service. The PCC have received exciting papers on two
new projects:
Page 5 of 25

Wellness in Grace - a holistic wellness initiative focused on promoting mental health and wellbeing
through creative arts, meaningful events and innovative forms of pastoral care, an example of this will be
the resurrection of Burns Night after many years, and a new art and craft children's workshop. This is
being piloted by Alex and James Davies-spratt.
Pilgrim5 of the Way - a Christ-centered outreach initiative developed as part of Fellowship of Faith's
outreach group at Christ Church 5windon. Inspired byjesus's mission to seek and save the lost, this project
offers a Friday evening service 7pm to 9pm at St Mar¢s, designed to bring the Gospel to those on the
margins of society. This paper, written by Simon Giles, with the support of his fiancee, Ally Stanton.
We will do all we can to be creative, supporting our new colleagues with our encouragement, prayers and
practical support, under the 'One Christ Church with St Mary's, vision. In addition, we look forward, all
being well, to receiving a new self-supporting ordained colleague on 6th July. also to James Davies-spratt
becoming a Lay Minister on Saturday Ilth October. We will continue to support our two ordinands, Will
Stevenette and Nitin Shinde, in theirfinal year of ministerial training. Please hold them and their families
in your prayer5. We will also continue to encourage new vocations and to welcome newcomers as they
join us, benefitting from their gifts and experience.
Pastoral Care
The PCC continue to be aware of how much our Parish ha5 changed since the pandemic. Our final priority is
to do all we can to support people spiritually, whatever their situation, for example, with our vital
bereavement care Support we will support Daphne Hardwick and Moira Slack with the 'Death Café,
initiative. It will be an enormous priviloge to host, for the first time in Swindon on All Saints Day November
Isl the Grief Opera 'Love Never Ends,. Recognising we have six separate worshipping communities, we will
come together for a Church Family Weekend at Home from 12th to 14th September around the theme
th
'Comfort and Joy,. This will begin on Friday 12 September by u5 hosting the acclaimed drama 'The
Beloved Son,, Henri Nouwen's spiritual journey acted by Andrew Harrison who will be interviewed
afterward5. We loo1( forward to receiving the congregations, ideas around fun, fellowship, friendship and
faith. Robert Jordan wlll be our guest speaker.
In conclusion, we have deliberately limited ourselves to three new area5 for thi5 coming year. Please pray
that we will do less things better, reminding ourselves that we are human beings, not human doings. Our
Christ Church DNA will shine through as we grow in being Beloved, Beholding, Belonging and Becoming
human beings. God has made us to be ambassadors for Christ, wherever we are and whatever we are
doing.
Community Outreach
This year we plan to build on the regular annual events and activities that we already have running as well
as introduce new events to our site. Everything we do is about involving people in a high-quality
experience, making people feel welcomed and being able to show a positive outlook to our wider
community,
We look forward to continuingthe development of our afternoon tea and lunch clubs as well as our annual
beer festival and dog fun run. We have many concerts planned such as Tribute acts to Queen, Take That,
Oasis and Fleetwood Mac, We will work with Magnum wineshop to introduce 'an evening of Divine Wine,.
We will continue to work in partnership with many other organisations and plan to raise funds for other
local charities too.

Maintenance Issues: Last year, we encountered maintenance challenges with one of our rental properties
and a potential water leak in the grounds.
Property Sale.. Plans to sell 31 Cricl<lade Street were agreed upon by the PCC. We hope to sell and purchase
a newer, more modern property in the New Year.

identified and remedied a leak outside the Community Centre and an issue with the plumbing in the male
toilets.
Energy Consumption: We Successfully reduced our gas usage throu8h pragmatic adjustments to our
Sunday service times and a relatively mild winter. Under Daniel Pitt's direction, energy contracts were
confirmed enablingfurther reductions in gas consumption and costs.
A new electricity smart meter was installed giving us a more detailed and realtime view of our electricity
usage in the church.
Grass Management Plan: We reintroduced our grass management plan to encourage native wildflowers
and wildlife. Selected areas of the Churchyard were allowed to grow before cutting and removing the grass
cuttings later in the summer. Signage was provided by the Eco group to explain our intentions to visitor5.
Wooden Floors: The wooden floors, installed in 2017, have not been cleaned or serviced. We sought
quotes for the work but lack the funding to proceed. This task is on the list of proposed projects when
fund5 become available.
Stained Glass Windows: Over the past six month5, we identified issues with our stained glass windows.
Thanks to Janet French and Mike Snow, a full survey was conducted. We are now seeking quotes for repair
works in 2025.
Car Park Llghting and Securlty: Steve Cox is working on establishing specifications and costs to improve
safety and security on our site, which hosts thousands of visitors annually.

The appointment of PCC members is governed by and set out in the Church Representation Rules. The PCC
is responsible for a wide range of activities affecting the parish including, but not restricted to, compliance
with statutes and legislation and the creation of suitable policies and procedures to protect those considered
to be vulnerable. It is important that the PCC adopts and implements suitable training procedures to ensure
that members are equipped to handle the challenges this represents. In addition to the dissemination of
appropriate reading matter, the PCC actively encourages individuals to attend training courses arranged by
the Diocose or Doanery and to report back to the PCC as a body.
The PCC actively encourages members of its congregation to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for
election to the PCC.

withdrawn bythe PCC at any time, and any decisions made bythe Standing Committee under this authority
must be approved by the PCC at the next suitable opportunity.

The PCC encouraged members of the congregation to abide by the lone working policy.
The PCC agreed a policy on vulnerable adults.
The PCC eiideavours to undertake risk assessments for events it manages.
The PCC has a child protection policy.
The PCC ha5 reviewed the major risks facing them and systems/procedures have been/are being established
to manage those risks.
Public beneflt
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit
when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.
Financial Review
Charitable activltie5
The Community Centre remains a central part of our local engagement. Regular groups rneetingthere
include exercise classes (for children and adults), dance classes (for toddlers, children, and adults}, groups
from other churches, a sewing group, and a water colour painting group among others, with a focu5 on
supporting lonely individuals in our community.
We have continued with policies established in 2004, of our designated mission giving being restricted to the
amount collected in the offerings on special Mission Giving Sundays. On these weeks we have a focus on
the work of the different organisations that we support. The tota5 mission-giving contribution in this year
was £1,881 including Eift-aid tax recovery which was sent to support the work of SHAP and WILLOWS.
The net parish share contribution for 2024 was £105,000, unchanged since 2021, aligning with expected
income. The 2025 budgeted parish share contribution has been set at £106,000, as per the Bristol Diocese
request.
Fund-ralslng
Some of the usual fundraising activities including the Beer Festival were well received by the communitTes
this year, contributing significantly to our funds, The Beer Festival contributed £19,570 and other one-off
events such as the Jazz Festival contributed a further £12,476.
Page 11 of 25

Endowment and Restricted Funds
Both the restricted and endowment funds showed modest increases this year.
Church Reordering/Development and Renewal Projects
Generous donations towards the continuation of the development and renewal of the churches and grounds
had been received in previous years. In particular, the refurbishment of the Rose Garden continued under
Eenerous donations from an anonymous benefactor. The £7,000 grant from the Kingshill Trust received in
2021 continued to support the development of our audio-visual capabilities. These credits and consequent
expenses were attributed to the Property/Maintenance and Development & Renewal restricted funds. Total
spending on church reordering is £3200 this year.
Income
Unrestricted fund receipts rose to £374,689 in 2024, up from £349,603 in 2023, driven by increased
fundraising and a £20,000 legacy. However, excluding the legacy, donation income declined by IO'A,
emphasizing the need for continued stewardship efforts in 2025. We deeply thank everyone who
supported the PCC in 2024, with donations (including legacy contributions) totaling £122,431.
The Community Centre lettings were £96,891 increased by 5% and indlcated the level of services activities
nearly reached the maximum capacity.
Expenditure
Total Expenditure was £390,319 in 2024, up slightly from £384,267 in 2023. This includes a static Parish
Share contribution of £105,000 since 2021, alongside rising wages, salaries, and operational costs.
Reserves policy
It is PCC policyto maintain {whenever possible) sufficient general funds, equating to four month5 of 'normal'
turnover, In orderto cover unplanned situations that may occur from time to time. This is measured as one
third of the budgeted income for the year. The General Fund Income Budget for 2024 is £270,000 so four
months of this would equate to £90,000.
The total funds held at 31 December 2024 were £1,659,735, of which £1,188,843 was held in Unrestricted
Funds {see Note 6 in the accounts below). However, £595,853 of that is tied up in the Tangible Assets (i.e.
the Community Centre} (Notes 5a & 61, £504,343 in investments (Note 6) and £3,420 is in designated funds
for the ongoing running of the Community Centre.
This leaves a reserve of £85,277 which is £4,723 under the 2024 reserves target. We will continue to monitor
this situation during the year.
Environmental, social & Governance Pollcy
In line with many organisations, we wish our funds to be deposited in ethically-oriented funds that seek to
encourage systematic change in the way the environmental, societal and governance aspects of society are
managed. It is therefore our current policy to invest surplus funds with the CBF Church of England Deposit
Fund. The fund is managed in accordance with the policie5 of the Church of England's Ethical Investment
Advisory Group.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Parochial Church Council Of The Ecclesiastical Parish Of Christ Church With St Mary's Swindon** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are set out on pages 14 to 25. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

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 accounts to be reached.
