ALL SAINTS CHURCH BOYNE HILL MAIDENHEAD

CHARITY NUMBER: 1134396

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS OF THE

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2022

Trustees’ Annual report for the year ended 31 December 2022

Report of the PCC (Parochial Church Council)

Aims and Purposes

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of All Saints Church has the responsibility of supporting the incumbent, The Rev’d Jeremy Harris, in developing the ecclesiastical parish, promoting the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

The PCC plays a key role in safeguarding children and vulnerable adults amongst the congregation as well as those visiting the Church. The Parish Safeguarding Officer oversees the Safeguarding Policy and its implementation, and works with the PCC to ensure full compliance with CofE and Diocesan Safeguarding and Safer Recruitment requirements.

In addition to its responsibilities for the maintenance of the church itself, the PCC is also responsible for the maintenance of the church buildings in Church Close, Boyne Hill, Maidenhead.

Aims and Objectives

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at All Saints Church and to become part of our parish community at All Saints. The PCC also actively promotes mission outreach and encourages community and schools’ groups to use the Church for activities and worship. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer, scripture, music and sacrament.

This is encapsulated in All Saints Vision and Mission Aims Statements below.

The Vision of All Saints

The vision of All Saints is:-

TO ENCOUNTER CHRIST IN WORD AND SACRAMENT

To be drawn into the story of faith to live the story of faith.

This is the story of the early disciples seeing Christ following the crucifixion and then encountering him in the word (Bible) and the sacrament (Supper at Emmaus) or Eucharist. They realised that he was alive and that they were to return to Jerusalem to be HIS body in the world. This is partaking to become. All that we do should enable us to encounter our risen Lord and try to share HIS life with others. This will be in our Worship, our welcome, our ministry to schools and outside bodies, and in all our contacts and connections.

Within the All Saints Community this has been summarised in our Mission Aims Statement, which brings together the actions needed to achieve our Vision.

The Mission Aims of All Saints:-

The Mission Aims of All Saints are:-

TO BE A WELCOMING CHURCH FAMILY, ENCOURAGING AND SUPPORTING PEOPLE OF ALL AGES ON THEIR JOURNEY TO FAITH AND RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS; THROUGH VIBRANT EUCHARISTIC WORSHIP , SUPPORTIVE SMALL GROUPS AND STRONG COMMUNITY AND SCHOOLS OUTREACH TO BUILD A JOYFUL AND SUSTAINABLE FUTURE, ENABLING OUR COMMUNITY TO LIVE AND SHARE IN THE LOVE OF GOD.

When planning our activities for the year, the Charity Commissions’ guidance on public benefit has been considered along with the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. All Saints tries to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:

Maintenance of the Church Buildings of All Saints, along with the support of many volunteers, is needed to facilitate this work.

2022 Post Pandemic Lock-Down Return

Whilst the Coronavirus and Covid-19 pandemic changed life completely in 2020; 2021 saw a gradual return to Church and other activities, this continued during 2022 with a return to in-person services, meetings, pilgrimages and social events.

There was a high level of Baptisms during the year along with, sadly, an increased number of funerals. The return to Church aided the Church finances with a recovery in monies given in collections and an increase in the amount of planned giving, which is covered in the finance section of this report.

During the year the local Holiday Inn Hotel became used for Asylum Seekers and several made themselves known at the Church, including several Iranian Christians. The Church helped in whatever way it could with Christian nurture and a member joined the local branch of Care4Calais to help provide support, especially in assisting with placing children in local schools and colleges. The Asylum Seekers became a significant part of the congregation and the Church put on English Lessons and occasional hospitality sessions to help welcome them. Several also undertook Bible Studies and were Baptised and Confirmed at services in the Church,

Regular contact has been maintained with members of our congregation and those potentially in need, including home communion visits for those who, post-Covid, are no longer in a position to attend Church. As well as personal contact communication was also maintained via the web-site, along with a weekly newsletter which is now going to over 200 people.

Activities and Achievements

As a church family, and as individuals, the parishioners of All Saints Parish Church, Boyne Hill aim to meet the Vision and Mission Aims developed by the PCC, in consultation with the congregation ~~s~~ and the local community. That is ‘to be a welcoming church family, encouraging, and supporting people of all ages on their journey to faith and relationship through vibrant Eucharistic worship, supportive small groups and strong community and schools’ outreach to build a joyful and sustainable future, enabling our community to live and share in the love of God.’

The Parish had previously undertaken a review of its Mission aims and objectives. Through encouraging the parish to listen to the word of God through reflective Bible reading and listening to each other within the congregation as well as engaging with the community, the key areas discerned for focus are:-

These three aims are underpinned by three key areas of enabling Church Sustainability:-

Worship, Prayer and Ministry

The worship team have reviewed their focus to meeting the needs of the community whilst restarting the programme of services.

Regular Sunday Services are complimented with Regular Wednesday Services, Morning Prayer during the week with a children focussed service and hospitality event monthly.

In partnership with two local Churches (St Luke’s and The Church of the Good Shepherd) a regular Sunday evening service is provided by rotation around the three Churches and rotation with Zoom which gives availability for those unable to attend Church.

A pilgrimage to Walsingham was also arranged during the year.

Schools, Children and Families Ministry

In our three church schools and three other community schools we normally offer a combination of assemblies, classes in church, school services at schools and services which take place in the church.

Altwood School is being supported through the provision, on a part-time basis, in conjunction with St. Peter’s Church (Maidenhead), of a School Chaplain, who is working with Fr Jeremy of All Saints.

The ecumenical Open the Book team shares the Bible stories with up to 500 children each week of the academic year; having moved to producing Zoom recordings during the pandemic, they have now returned to in-person team visits to the schools.

Ministry includes regular All Age Services, Sunday School and weekly Tiny Saints mother and toddler activities, which are complimented with a monthly Sunday afternoon service for families ~~, a~~ long with a BBQ in the Quadrangle, when the weather allows

The three members of our congregation (along with Fr Jeremy) who act as school governors, across the three church schools, continued to support the running of our schools within the community.

Welcome

The Welcome Group worked hard during the year to improve welcome and also extend the opening hours of the Church (promoted with New “A” Boards). Trips and social events were also arranged.

We are grateful to all of the volunteers who assist ranging from Sides Persons who greet and guide, refreshment providers and cleaners who are managing under difficult conditions, to make the All Saints a welcoming Church and community at all levels.

Use of the Church Quadrangle and Christmas Market

During discussions with the community, it was established that there was a desire for more use to be made of the Church Quadrangle.

With this in mind a Christmas Market was also planned and took place in November 2021. This was very successful and was repeated in 2022 along with the Salvation Army Carols in the Quad.

The event was a great success with an estimated 400 visitors and also raised just over £2,500, which the PCC voted again to designate these funds for a potential “Back-of-Church” re-ordering project.

Monthly Sunday afternoon BBQs were also held in the Quad during the summer months.

Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals.

During 2022 All Saints has supported families from the church and wider community with, sadly 24 funerals. Following reopening there was a high level of 55 Baptism during the year. There were also four weddings in the year. Thanks go to both our Vicar, Priest, Fr Jeremy who, along with Fr John, undertook the sad funeral support and celebrated the Baptisms and Weddings.

Confirmation Service

All Saints had the privilege of hosting the 2022 Confirmation Service for the Deanery in Nov 2022, which was led by Bishop Olivia, the Bishop of Reading. 34 Candidates from All Saints and New Windsor were confirmed as they continue their journey of faith within the Body of Christ.

Diocesan and Deanery links

All Saints Boyne Hill is represented on the Deanery Synod by Fr Jeremy as a Clergy Representative and by Rod Broad and Kenneth Smith as Lay Representatives. Fr Jeremy and Rod Broad are also members of the Deanery Standing Committee. In addition Fr Jeremy is a Clergy Representative on the Diocesan Synod.

Parish Centre activities

Our Parish Centre usage recovered during the year. Community groups have returned with the AA, the Brownies and Rainbows as well as the Tiny Saints Parent and Toddler Group which offers activities,

healthy food and a nursery rhyme service each Friday for parents and toddlers. Some regular community bookings are in place along with a limited number of bookings for parties and community events. The Parish Hall is also the local election centre for Boyne Hill.

Church Sustainability

We have a good number of volunteers who are working hard in areas of finance, stewardship, administration and buildings work, although these have reduced significantly in recent times. Our members are guardians of a Grade 1 listed building designed by the Victorian architect George Street, who also designed the London Law courts. The community of buildings at All Saints is in the design of an Oxford college and continues to serve the Alms houses that are part of the complex. We also have experienced people who are willing to give their time to ensure we comply with all regulatory requirements; this is especially helpful with respect to the matters of Health & Safety, Safeguarding and, GDPR.

With the increasing regulatory demands being placed upon the Church Office, along with health issues leading to a shortage of office volunteers, the PCC agreed to employ, and fund, the parish’s first parttime paid Administrator, who started work in Oct 2019. Unfortunately, mainly due to the pandemic and travel requirements, the administrator did not return to work in the Church office. Also, due to ill health, the other two office administrative volunteers could not return either.

This left Fr Jeremy and the PCC without any administrative support in the Church Office and with no one to train any new people. Fortunately, an experienced PA/Administrative volunteer stepped forward in 2021 to help and a paid Administrative Assistant was recruited in late 2022. When the volunteer “retires” there will need to be extra resource provided by the PCC which may incur additional cost in the absence of volunteers willing, and able to give the time, to help with this vital role. The Book Keeper/Financial Administrator volunteer also gave up her role at the end of 2022 and the Administrative Assistant will be trained to take over these tasks in 2023, on a paid basis.

Buildings

The challenges of maintaining the fabric of a Grade 1 listed building and a collection of Grade 2 and 2* buildings continue. The floor restoration project reached completion with the final snagging and release of retention delayed until Jan 2023 due to the sad death of the Church Architect.

Although minor regular maintenance continued, the absence of an architect meant that some important repair work did not take place during the year. Of particular concern are a crumbling chimney and a fallen cross which has put the Birinus Garden out of bounds. (Work undertaken and Expenditure was limited during 2022). A new Church Architect was appointed late in 2022 and the Quinquennial Inspection report reviewed with an update to the advised programme of works. These are under review in 2023. (The Church Building fund is envisaged to be sufficient to cover urgent work needed).

The Parish Centre heating system has reached the end of its life and a replacement is needed for the aging electric storage heater system. The Parish commissioned an Energy Audit which looked at proposals for the Church, and also the Parish Centre. This was received in 2023 and is under review.

During the year minor regular maintenance and appliance replacements was undertaken for the rented property.

Social Media

As commented the Church social media presence (web-site, Facebook and Twitter) was vital for communication during the pandemic and, post pandemic period, and continues to both be a source of information as well as a helping generate interest in All Saints.

Volunteers

Fr Jeremy Harris as the Parish Priest, along with the PCC of All Saints, would like to express gratitude to the many volunteers that contribute to both the running and the mission at All Saints Church.

Electoral Roll

The number on the parish electoral roll as at 31st December 2022 is 148. This is a slight increase from the previous years’ number of 144.

Financial Review

The year ended in a better financial position than anticipated. This was mainly due to the recovery of collections at services, an increase in Planned Giving and, partly, as a consequence of the sad death of the Church Architect with limited spend on Church maintenance and repair.

Total receipts received from a variety of sources in 2022 came to £168,717 with total payments during the year of £157,031. For 2022 the General (Unrestricted) Fund (which is the day to day running of the Church fund) was generally ahead of the anticipated outcome having received incoming funds of £134,035 with outgoing funds of £135,585, giving a small surplus of circa £450 (compared to the deficit as at Dec 2021 of £3,966 for the General Fund).

Planned Giving increase slightly to £48,497 in 2022, from £44,607 in 2021 (excluding gift aid reclaimed). Collections at services recovered to £8,700 in 2022 from £2,350 in 2021. This is an excellent recovery and hopefully the recovery will continue towards the pre-pandemic 2019 level of collections of £10,485 for the year. The use of the Goodbox for contactless donations has assisted the recovery as people are less likely to carry cash since the pandemic.

In terms of other income property rentals held steady at £45,768 and the Parish Centre rentals increased again slightly at £3,735.

The Floor Restoration Project, having reached Practical Completion in 2021, the expected final retention invoice was not submitted during the year. The sad death of our Church Architect having delayed this finalisation until 2023 (post year end the retention invoice was received, after snagging, in Jan 2023). The expected total cost (ex VAT of £253k) was funded by charitable and business donations of circa £70k with the balance being raised by donations, fund raising and pledges from the All Saints congregation, along with gift aid reclaimed. The year end floor restoration fund (of £15.8k), along with continuing pledges, is sufficient to cover all received and expected invoices for the floor as at the end of Dec 2022.

Note – During 2011 £20k was, as agreed by the PCC, transferred from the restricted Church Restoration Fund to the restricted Floor Restoration Fund to facilitate cash flow for the project. This was transferred back in 2022 as anticipated, as donations and pledges have met expectations to enable this transfer back.

The PCC have agreed to the Parish Share request for 2023 from All Saints Boyne Hill of £74,523 (which is the same as the 2022 Parish Share). The payment is being made by Direct Debit to the Diocese which has been set up. This method of payment will also attract a 1% rebate (based upon all payments being made on schedule).

Reserves Policy

At the end of 2022 the PCC held designated reserves of £61,346 as a contingency for either unforeseen expenditure, or for unforeseen reduction in unrestricted income.

No change is being made to the reserves as this is broadly in line with the PCC Reserves Policy, which is to hold reserves of six months unrestricted operational expenditure to enable operation during an unforeseen reduction in unrestricted income or unforeseen expenditure.

Structure, governance and management

The PCC has been formed under the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956.

PCC members are recruited in a number of ways. The clergy, LLM and Churchwardens are members by the virtue of their office. Deanery Synod representatives are elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) and hold office for three years. Other members of the PCC are elected for one, two or three years at the APCM.

The Churchwardens are elected annually at the APCM, which was held on April 25[th] 2022.

The PCC is responsible for the appointment of a Treasurer and in April 2022 the PCC appointed Rod Broad as Treasurer for a further term and also appointed Sue Stannett as Assistant Treasurer.

The PCC is also responsible for the appointment of a PCC secretary and appointed David Morgan.

The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. Given the wide responsibilities of the PCC a number of committees and groups operate, each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life. There are the following committees and groups which all report to the PCC on a periodic basis:-

Standing Committee – This committee consists of the Vicar and Churchwardens as ex-officio members. A minimum of three more members are elected annually by the PCC. Current members are the Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, Deputy Churchwarden and the PCC secretary. They have the power to transact business of the PCC between PCC meetings, reporting to the full PCC as appropriate.

Worship & Pastoral – This is a changing team of people as needed and chaired by the Vicar, who oversee ~~s t~~ he form of worship and music used in the church, and make proposals for special services. The team also provides guidance for, and facilitates the delivery of, the pastoral activities undertaken. These include, amongst other activities, support for people in Care Homes and for people at home. Teams and structures are also in place to support Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals. Not all members are members of the PCC.

Resources Group – This group, led by a Churchwarden, is responsible for recommending, and enacting, capital works and maintenance of the fabric of all church buildings, including the recently restored floor

following the disbandment of the Floor Restoration Project Group (as the project became completed). Not all members are members of the PCC.

Stewardship Group – This group looks at our planned giving and at ways of encouraging and increasing giving of time, talents and money to support the work of All Saints. The Parish utilises the Parish Giving Scheme, where planned giving can be made by direct debit with the scheme collecting the monies and reclaiming the Gift Aid on behalf of the Parish of All Saints, along with direct giving to the Parish. The group have focussed upon the use of talents and encouraging volunteers to support the many activities of All Saints along with administrative and related support. Not all members are members of the PCC.

Welcome Group – this is a group formed in 2019 and leads the congregation in welcome in its widest sense as noted above. It includes, but is not confined to, the management of Sides People. The group also sponsors trips, outings and other events. Not all members are members of the PCC.

Schools and Children’s Groups – These Groups work together to support actively in the local schools in areas of worship, pastoral care and learning, particularly in the Parish’s three C of E schools, and also to plan and supports worship activities for pre-school and primary age children. Not all members are members of the PCC.

Sustainability (Environmental) Group - T his group was formed in 2021 and looks at the environmental sustainability of the activities and buildings of All Saints Church. The group is leading the congregation in working towards All Saints becoming an Eco Church. All Saints having gained the Eco Church Bronze award in 2022 continues the sustainability journey. Not all members are members of the PCC.

Safeguarding, Health & Safety and Data Protection

Along with the previously mentioned Parish Safeguarding Officer, who oversees the Safeguarding Policy and its implementation, structures and policies are also in place for the management of Health & Safety and Data Protection (GDPR), all of which is reported on by the responsible person at PCC meetings.

PCC Meetings

During 2022 the PCC met on seven occasions (with the March meeting being via Zoom). The first PCC meeting to elect key roles and the Standing Committee for the next year takes place immediately after the APCM (which took place on the 25[th] April 2022).
