A heart for Jesus and His Gospel
The PCC ib keen lo offer a range of servicès, not only on Sundays, but also duilng the week, that our
community will find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. The leaching of the Bible is Central lo all our

vision and over the last year we have appointed a new Children's Worker and a new Youth Worker -

There have baen 18 baptisms, 5 weddings and 14 funerals during the year. We have welcomed
several new people and families lo our congregation during 2025.
A number of community groups meet in the church building and around the city throughout Ihe week

Chat is a popular Tuesday morning group for 'lhe lonely or bereaved. which atlracls about 40-50
people from the ¢ommLJnily for conversallon and friendship. Along wllh several other churches and

Church Fabrlc
We are delighted to be able lo open tho bullding on weekdays. St Andrew's18 a signiflcanl and spgcSal
building in the heart of the dty centre and Is well vlslled by many tourists and used by many others as
a quiet place to think or pray. A stream of church mernbers and the publlc come Into the church during
the week to vlsil the church office which is based in the building, or to attend other meetings or
events.
The labrlc of the building is overseen by the eight members of our Property Management Group,
chaired by one of the Churchwardens. Signlficanl work in the last year has included..
The bNo gas fired boilers have been replaced wllh new and more energy efficlent gas boilers as the
first stage of our healing strategy
The north Iransepl roof which was leaking and causing water damage has been replaced
• New healers have bean installed in the choir vestry, Rectorfs vestry and office
Emergency lightin# has been installed in the bell lower
A significant nutnber of repairs or items of mainl&nance have been completed over the course of the
year to ensure th8 building is safe and in good order. The church clock has been repaired so that all
faces show the correct lime.
Th8 PCC owns Iwo flats on Lambhay Hill in the parish with a member of our Property Management
Group ading as landlord on behalf of thè PCC.
We are concerned that the Lislecl Places of Worship Grant Scheme which allowed us to recover VAT
on essential repairs and maintenance has now ended. Over r8cenl yoars Ihis has enabled us lo
recover lens of thousands of pounds on the cost of the work required lo maintain this important Grade
1 Ilsled building.
We are not Confident that th& new Places of Worshlp Renewal Fund wlll be as helpful lo us and may
result In Increased bUreau￿a¢Y and form-filllng.
Other actlvltles
We run a range of acllvllies whlch Include young people's groups, music groups, bell ringing, civic
S81ViC8s and various other occasional activi11gS.

Financial review
The many pages making up the church's annual aGGounls are somewhat bewlldering lo many. For
that reasori, we have provided this year, a simpler summary ol the ¢hurch's Income and Expenditure
Account arid ealance Sheet which the PCC use for their guidance during the year and which may be
read alongside the lull independent5y examined accounts in slalutory format.
We conliniie lo manage the ever increasing cost ol running a1arge and very actlve church, although,
11 musl b& recognised that that is only currently possible because of the availability ol funds from the
Mlchael Mace Legacy and the Fabric Fund representing the residue of the 'Friends of Sl Andrew,. Of
course, both Ih05e sources are finite and will need lo be replaced by our own contribution if the
extensive work, particularly amongst students and Children, Is lo continue lor years lo come.
Our major areas of expenditure will always be our contribution lo the Comrnon Fund of the diocese
1£144,375-- an unusual decrease of £673 from 20241, the primary purpose of which Is lo covor the
Gosl of stipends. housing and Iralnlng of our clergy, followed by the salaries and support Cosls of our
staff. Insurance along with the maSnlenance and repair ol our very beautiful Ghurch ar8 also
continuou5 major oulgoings. AllhoLJgh we had hoped that the extensive work lo the oigan woukj have
been cornpleled and paid for by the end of the year. there remains a little Tnore lo be done. It should
be noted. however. that Ihg very significant cost of that has not impacted our general expenditure,
slnce Ihe full costs will be m&1 by funds gen8rously donated together with those transferred from the
historic trusts for the support of music, the scope ol whlch have now successfully been widened after
much dedicated effort by a member of our congregation.
Pollcy on reserves
The policy DI the PCC Ss to malnlain reserves which would covef 6 months rijnning expenses. Based
on the 20?5 accounts such an amount is well covered by our overall unreslricled reserves as al 31
December 2025.
Golng concern
The financial slalemenls have been prepared on the golng concern basis. There are no material
uncertainties r8laled to events or condllions that may cast significant doubts upon the PCC'S abllily lo
continue as a golng concern.
Safeguardlng
The PCC has cornpliecl with the duly under se¢lion 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Disclpline
Measure 2016 (duly lo have regard to the House of Bishops, guidance on safeguarding children and
vulnerable adults).
stafflng
In addition lo the clergy (who are employed by the Church Commissioners), the PCC employs an
Adminislralor, an Adminislralive Assistant, a Caretaker, an Outreach Worker, a Director of Music, an
