effective from the 25th May 2018). The PCC has a policy which is available to parishioners and the public on request {St

Objectives and activities
St. Thomas of Canterbury PCC has Ihè responsibility of co-operating with the Wicar, in promoling within the parish Ihe
whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and e¢umenical.11 also has maintenance responsibilities for the
Church, the Church Cenlre, Stokes House (for clergy accommodalion) and the flats at 29 and 31 St. Thomas Road.
Achlevements and perforniance
There are 167 {2023.' 169) parishioners on Ihe Church Electoral Roll, 91 of whom are not resident within the parish. 2
names were added during the year and 4 were removed through death, requested removal or because they moved away
from the parish. The average weekly attendan￿ in 2024. counted during October was 200 adults and 42 children, which
is on average the same as the attendance measured in 2023.
In 2024, there was 1 confirmation Servi￿ carried oul, with 33 candidates confirmed, 29 children and 5 adults received the
sacrament of baptism, 4 Gouples were married in the church and I marriage blessing was conducted. In additon, the parish
clergy and licenced lay minislers conducted 5 funerals in the church and at local crematorium and cemeteries.
We continue to live stream our services using our Facebook and YouTube accounts and Ihis continues to play an important
role in developing ihe spiritual life of Ihe parish. The clergy and licensed lay ministers have managed lo offer daily live
streamed morning and evening prayers. SeNices in the church are held over 6 days during the week with 3 services on a
Sunday, with a specific family orientated mass offered on Ihe last Sunday each month. Additional servicès are provided
on Festivals and Holy days. The Church is usually open every day for prayer, information and as a sacred space for visitors.
The minislry leam of clergy and licenced lay ministers have continued to support other churches within the deanery, leading
worship and conducting pastoral offices as required.
Home groups. prayer groups and study groups continued to meet throughout the year using a blend of online methods and
in person fellowship. This includes running the Alpha course twice a year and the Gourse in Christian Studies which are
open to all.
Review of the year
The full PCC met five times during the year (a mix of virlual and in-person meetings) with an average level of attendan
of 61 per cent. Committees met between meetings and minutes of their deliberations were re￿iVed by the full PCC and
discussed where nècessary.
Worship has conlinued to be live streamed to faciliate the involvement of those who are housebound or unable lo attend
in person and to act as an online window for the excellence in worship thal we seek to provide. Our use of social media
has been maintained during the year and we have seen a steady increase in those engaging with our life through this
activity. We have also used our online shop to good effect, making it easy for people lo donate and purchase items to aid
their devotional life such as Lent books and Advent calendars.The Friends of St Thomas have run Education Sunday
activities, Pancake Day. Easter activities, Pol Luck lunch, a Christmas fair, a Carols and Chilli night, a Christmas raffle and
supported two yOLrth music concerts held during the year. Additional activities have beèn arranged by volunteers which
include regular Wednesday morning Cake and Cuppa gatherings and operating a Toddler Group on Thursdays. The parish
website is c￿ntInuallY updated wilh the latest information about the Church activities and we use our database of contacts
to promote social adivrties. worship and infomiation about living the Christian life.

PSPA, Bishop's Lent Appeal. Additional Curates Society and Forward in Failh.

The Church has continued to act as a collection point for the gathering of large amounts of food and household
requirements to give to the locally church-run Food Bank, including continuing emergency help to various callers in need.
The running of events has increased in 2024 however, finding volunleers to support all our desired activities is still an
ongoing challenge. This is reflected in the vacancies we continue to have within the PCC and other administrative roles.
We have continued to offer our facilities to outside parties to hold community events, con￿rtS and clubs which now includes
running a café on Mondays, Cooking and Art classes for Adults with learning challenges, Scout related clubs, Drama and
Dance clubs.
The PCC regularly scrulises and monitors our running costs. particularly with Ihe impact of increases in maintenance. the
cost of energy and other utilities. Our Parish share contribution was reduced in 2024 due to lower income and higher
operating costs resulting in achieving only 47°A of the requested amount.
The PCC has continued to recover VAT under the Listed Pla￿S of Worship Government Scheme relating to ils restoration
and maintenance work.
Our mission to younger people has been maintained with a regular number of school Eucharists held at the schools and
in the Church, and during term times, our nomal Friday mass has beèn held at Beckel Keys Secondary School. We have
continued to run the Voice for Life scheme for our choristers and supported our youth through Ihe on-going St Thomas
