## **We would like to record particular thanks to all those named above, and those working in committees, for all their hard work over 2025.** 

## **Church attendance** 

At the Annual Parochial Church Meeting in May 2025 there were 189 names on the Electoral Roll for the Parish of Kidlington with Hampton Poyle. The average attendance at the main Sunday service (including children) was 80 for a joint parish service, 70 at St Mary's Kidlington, 35 at St John's and 11 at St Mary's Hampton Poyle. A small but regular number of households participated in the Sunday online services or weekday Pause for Prayer. 

During the course of the year 8 children and 0 adults were welcomed into the church through Baptism. 

## **Review of the Year** 

It was a great pleasure to welcome Revd Oliver Harrison and his wife Jessica to the Parish in 2025. Oliver was installed as Team Vicar of Kidlington and Hampton Poyle on 4[th] September, and quickly became active in our work with Children and Young People. 

We were also delighted when Revd Paul Charles, our curate, was ordained as a priest in June, bringing the clergy team under Revd Canon Felicity Scroggie’s leadership up to three. 

In addition, we are blessed with the support of the Venerable David Meara, Revd Marian Needham, Revd Sarah Sewell, Revd Katie Tupling, 



Mrs Meghann Hewett (Licensed Lay Minister) and Mrs Penny Pedley (Accredited Lay Minister), who all give generously of their time and talents. We said goodbye to Revd Paula Clifford in the summer of 2025; Paula had offered generous support to the Parish for several years. 

Malc Sentance continued to provide valuable support as Parish Administrator. One of his many roles is to compile and send out the weekly Parish Newsletter, which in 2025 was emailed to 296 people. 

Our dear friend Revd Mervyn Puleston died in September; Mervyn was the first Team Rector of Kidlington with Hampton Poyle, and continued to serve the Church in Kidlington and Hampton Poyle for many years after his retirement. 

Our Worship pattern continued throughout the year with a Joint Service, usually on the fourth Sunday of the month, alternating between St John’s and St Mary’s Kidlington (SMK). All other regular 10.00am Sunday services continued as before, with an 8.00am at SMK, and monthly Open Space services at SMK and All Together at St John’s, both of which have significant lay involvement. In addition, a live streamed service was offered on most Sundays, from either church. The choir and choristers continued to support the services at SMK, as well as offering Choral Evensong, usually once a month. Sunday services continued at Hampton Poyle, usually twice a month. A Tuesday evening Iona Service continued to be held at St John’s, and a Wednesday morning Eucharist at SMK. Services were also held, usually twice a month in Lincroft Meadow care home, led by the Revd Marian Needham and assisted by several lay members of the congregation. A number of Prayer and Study Groups continued to run, including a Lent Study Group on the minor prophets. 

We celebrated the round of festivals through the year in all three churches, from Epiphany through Lent and Easter and round to Advent and Christmas once more. A third and very successful Christmas Tree Festival took place at SMK, involving local organisations and attracting many visitors, followed by the now well-established Community Carol Service. Several local schools also held their Carol Services at SMK, and a new informal Carol Singing held on the green outside St John’s proved very popular. 

There were 3 weddings, 8 baptisms and 17 funerals in our churches during the course of the year, with the clergy also conducting 17 funerals at the crematoria. Joyce Morris is authorized to take Funerals, Philippa Burrell, Bruce Forman and John Morris are authorized to take Home Communion, and Occasional Offices are supported by members of the verging team. The Prayer Ministry Team offered support after services, and prayers were led by lay members at each main service. Worship was supported by the organists and a thriving choir at SMK, under the leadership of David Hewett, which included a growing number of young people. 



Junior Church at St John’s continued to thrive, as did the Youth Group TIG (Together in God) which met monthly. In September 12 of our young people enjoyed a weekend away at the Caldecotte Centre, Milton Keynes, with some teaching and plenty of fun and fellowship. Kidlinks is now chaired by Revd Oliver Harrison, and remained a key part of our outreach to the community, running sessions four times a week led by our Children and Family Worker, Rachel Rea, including a session for young children with special educational needs. We were also able to continue running two Parentlinks groups (formerly called Parent Support Groups) for parents of neurodivergent or special needs children. 

The Pastoral Visiting Team continued to offer support and companionship to many older people in the Parish, both housebound and in care homes, while the Parish Lunch and Big Sing remained popular events for older people. St John’s continued to be a well-used venue, with many bookings throughout the year from the wider community, both on-going and one-off. 

The PCC continued its work as trustees of the Parish; it is comprised of the Team Rector, Team Vicar, Curate, Churchwardens, Deanery Synod Representatives, co-opted members of committees when necessary, and elected members. The PCC is responsible for reviewing and approving Accounts, Budgets and any expenditure recommended by the Fabric or other Committees. It also reviews and approves Parish Policy documents relating to matters such as Safeguarding. At each of the six main PCC meetings in 2025 there were reports from the Children and Young People, Finance and Fabric Committees, the Deanery Synod representatives and the Safeguarding and Health and Safety Officers. There were also updates on the work of Kidlinks, Parentlinks and the Garden project at St John’s. 

The Electoral Roll was completely revised in 2025, and the APCM was held in May. 

We continued our commitment to Churches Together in Kidlington, taking part in the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in January and the World Day of Prayer in March. Pentecost was celebrated with a service at SMK involving the Baptist, Methodist and Roman Catholic Churches. 

Our two chosen charities for 2025 were Noor, a Society for people with Disabilities in Aida Refugee Camp, Bethlehem and Papyrus UK, which supports mental health in young people. We pledged to send £1,000 to each of these charities, together with a further £700 each from fundraising activities through the year. 

In addition, funds to support the church were raised through the winter Tea Talks, the Sunday Teas, which ran from May through to September, and the Summer Fete in July. All of these events enabled us to engage with the wider community, and were much enjoyed. In addition, the Friends of St Mary’s Kidlington ran six very successful and varied events in 2025, raising funds which enabled us to upgrade the lighting at SMK. 



2025 was another very busy year. Maintenance of our buildings remains a financial challenge, but we still keep a clear focus on prayer, fellowship and outreach to the wider community. 

## **Financial Review** 

The General Fund had a deficit in the year of £35,596 (2024 deficit of £19,546) which has been funded from the Special Donations Fund, St John’s Hall Fund and the Reserve Fund. We had one small legacy to the General Fund in the year and also received a generous Special Donation from the Friends of St Mary’s Kidlington. The deficit had originally been budgeted to be £23,500 but use of these Funds meant that only a total of £8,700 was taken from the Reserve Fund. Compared to budget, income was 4.7% higher but expenditure was 9.8% higher. Work on the lighting at St Mary’s took place at a cost of £17,789, covered by the donation from the Friends. A total of £4,575 VAT was reclaimed in the year under the Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme, which has now been discontinued, leading to likely higher costs on Fabric in the future. 

Looking forward to 2026, the budget shows an anticipated deficit of £21,720 but we hope a successful response to the planned Stewardship Campaign will mitigate this and put the parish finances on a more stable basis for the next few years. 

The Parish Share is the largest item of expenditure.  In 2025 this equated to 50% of all unrestricted income (2024: 44%) and 42.5% of all unrestricted expenditure (2024: 40%). We were receiving a reduction of 5% until Rev’d Oliver Harrison became Team Vicar in September 2025 but we expect an increase of only 6.5% in 2026. However, the Deanery continues to find it difficult to meet its total parish share payments to the Diocese.  Long-term, if this is not resolved then there could be serious implications for the number of clergy serving in our deanery and therefore, possibly, in our parish. 

To improve the resilience of our processes, systems used for Salary Payment and Gift Aid Claims were moved to their cloud-based equivalents in 2024, enabling easy access by any authorised person. The main Finance package has now also been moved to a cloud-based system. 

The three main external projects: Kidlinks, Parent Support, Community Garden are intended to be self-funding. Work to ensure sufficient external financial support for Kidlinks and Parent Support is an on-going and timeconsuming requirement. Activity for the Community Garden in the rear of St John’s Church has slowed since the installation of a new (owned outright) office to replace the (rented) portakabin, but plans for the major landscaping work are now coming together, which will also need external funding. 



Reserves Policy
The Reser+/es Policy is to hold a minimum sum of £10,000 In the Resen4e
Fund to cover sudden and unforeseen calls made on parish fFnances. This
is in addition to reserves held in the St John's Hall Fund to cover similar
situations relating to the Church Hall.
The balance on the Reserve Fund at 31 December 2025 was £64,231
(2024: £72,931) which stlll meets the policy. Thls level of ￿SerVeS is the
equivalent of 3 months of unrestricted expenditure excluding St John's
Hall which is only Just at the generally accepted level of resenies for
charities, being (2024: 4 months).
Reserves held for St John's Hall total £9,936 (2024: £14,262) followlng
the start of running down thls fund to meet expendlture specifically for St
John's. Thereafter, St John's costs will be funded from the General Fund,
as are the other two churches.
As the accounts make clear, much of our income Is needed to finance the
upkeep of our buildings and support the rlch programme of worship
offered In our three churches. However, community outreach is at the
heart of our misslon, and funds are needed to make this possible. In the
light of these challenges, it was agreed at the end of 2025 to launch a
stewardship campaign In 2026.
