**Achievements and Performance**
## **Incumbent’s Review**
This past year has been one of remarkable progress, encouragement, and thanksgiving in the life of our parish. Across many areas of our common life, we have seen growth, renewal, and a deepening confidence in the future of All Saints. It has been a year marked by faithful stewardship, generous giving, and increasing numbers of people sharing in the worship and mission of the Church.
One of the most visible signs of this growth has been the steady increase in the number of people joining us for worship and parish life. Week by week we are welcoming new faces, while continuing to serve and support those who have long been part of our church family. The atmosphere of warmth, hospitality, and reverence which characterises All Saints continues to draw people in, and we give thanks for the dedication of the many volunteers who make this possible.
Financially, the parish remains in a sound and stable position. Through careful stewardship and responsible management, the PCC has continued to maintain the financial health of the church whilst supporting the many aspects of parish life. We were pleased once again to meet our Parish Share commitment in full, which remains a vital contribution to the wider mission and ministry of the Diocese.
Particularly encouraging has been the continued growth in planned giving. Over the past year our regular giving has increased, reflecting the growing number of people who are investing in the life and future of the parish. The Parish Giving Scheme continues to prove an invaluable tool in helping us manage our giving more efficiently and sustainably. It reduces the administrative burden on our Treasurer and ensures that giving is consistent and protected against inflation through the option of annual index linking. If you are not yet part of the Parish Giving Scheme, we warmly encourage you to consider joining. Regular planned giving remains the single most important way in which we can secure the long-term stability of the parish.
Alongside regular giving, our parish hall continues to provide a significant and reliable source of income, supporting the day to day running of the church and enabling us to maintain our buildings and ministry. We remain grateful for the many groups and organisations who use our facilities throughout the week.
The past year has also seen significant investment in the fabric and life of the church. The completion of the major refurbishment of our historic Harrison and Harrison organ by Mander Organ Builders has been a tremendous milestone. This work, supported by generous donations, grants, and fundraising events, ensures that this magnificent instrument will continue to serve the worship of God in this place for generations to come. Our many fundraising events during the year not only raised substantial funds but also strengthened the sense of community and shared purpose within the parish.
We were also privileged this year to see the installation of a truly magnificent new stained-glass window on the south wall of the church. Commissioned by Judy and Mike Smith in memory of their son, Lieutenant Commander Richard W. D. Smith RN, the window also stands as a tribute to all who have given their lives in service. Designed and created by Amanda Winfield of Abinger Stained Glass, the window is both beautiful and deeply moving. It was dedicated on Remembrance Sunday by Bishop Peter Hancock and already forms a striking and prayerful focal point within the church, reminding us of sacrifice, remembrance, and hope.
We are also grateful for the improvements made to our facilities, including the widening of the narthex and the installation of new toilet facilities, together with improvements to the parish office, kitchen, and meeting spaces. These developments greatly enhance the welcome we can offer to the wider community and support the growing number of groups who use our buildings.
Another highlight of the year has been the continued development of our communications and digital presence. Our upgraded website and expanding social media platforms allow us to reach far beyond the church walls. Livestreaming of services, now hosted on our YouTube channel, continues to connect those who cannot be physically present with the worshipping life of the parish. We are particularly grateful to those who give their time and expertise to make this possible each week.
Perhaps the most significant development for the future of our parish has been the decision by the Bishop regarding the reunification of the parish with St Michael’s Sheerwater. After ten years of separation under the Bishop’s Mission Order, the Bishop has confirmed that the parish will once again be reunited. This marks an important and hopeful new chapter in our shared life. We look forward with confidence to renewed collaboration, strengthened mission, and a deepening of our common witness across the whole parish.
Taken together, these developments paint a very positive picture of the life of All Saints. We are a parish that is growing, financially responsible, outward looking, and rooted in faithful worship. None of this would be possible without the generosity, commitment, and prayerful support of so many people within the congregation. We give thanks to God for all that has been achieved this year, and we look forward with confidence and hope to the years ahead and thank you to everyone who has contributed to the life of All Saints Church, Woodham.
## Every blessing

## **Churchwarden’s Review**
## _IT and Livestreaming_
We have continued to livestream the majority of our main services on our Facebook up until beginning of Lent and then on our new YouTube channel page in order to carry on engaging with our dispersed members, the added advantage of using YouTube it allows us much more freedom regarding copyright and also allows the words to be displayed so that those worshipping from home have a full immersive experience of being able to worship. Adrian has diligently taken the livestream under his belt which I am eternally grateful for; however, it would be nice to have others who are willing to help on manning the livestream desk on a rota basis.
## _Events_
Main events throughout the year have included:
There have been many events during the year mainly to fundraise for the organ refurbishment. In total net profit from these events was £4,998
## _Church Organ Refurbishment_
Along with the numerous events of the year, we received £15,950 in grants and the ongoing pipe sponsorship has currently raised £840. Other donations and gift aid received £1,526.
## _Social Media_
Our website has been fully upgraded to a newer more interactive site.
In regard to social media, we now do not use Facebook for services however we still use this as an advertising opportunity. Towards the end of the year with the help of Shelley Blunden, we now have an Instagram account also.

## **Church Fabric Review**
_February - March_
- New seating cushions for the choir stalls and sanctuary, by the Church Cushion Company.
- Roof repairs including new battens and tiles for the roof valley between the Sacristy and Nave, by K. D. Roofing Services Ltd.
- Defibrillator for church and hall users, installed by CES Lighting and Electrical.
## _April_
- Font winch annual inspection by RHC Lifting Ltd.
## _May - August_
- When the new underfloor heating system was installed (in 2022), the old external hot air heating tower was removed. The space created by the removal of the tower, enabled from May to August the widening of the narthex to create three toilets. The old toilet off the Parish Room was removed enabling the office and kitchen to both be enlarged. Architect: Nick Hunt of A.T. Design. Builder: J. Best Building Services. The Parish Room was renamed the Jean Rignell room in her memory and in gratefulness for her generous legacy.
- In July our sound and camera system was upgraded by Andy Callin of Sound Analysts Ltd.
- In August the church kitchen boiler, hall kitchen boiler and hall gas heaters had their annual service by Industraheat.
## _November 2025_
- A remembrance window was installed on the South wall. Commissioned by Judy and Mike Smith in memory of their son Lieutenant Commander Richard W. D. Smith of the Royal Navy. Designed and made by Amanda Winfield of Abinger Stained Glass. Installed by John Mahoney Stained Glass Ltd. Dedicated on 9 November by Bishop Peter Hancock.
- The fire extinguishers had their annual inspection and renewal.
- Our 1907 altar frontal includes olive wood from the Mount of Olives when the vicar and churchwarden went on pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1898. Thanks to a family donation in memory of Gillian Hunt, the veneers were repaired and the splits stabilised by Gary J Hall of Surrey Antiques. Gary found the makers stamp “Morris & Co 449 Oxford St” proving it had been built by the company of William Morris of the arts and crafts movement.
## _December 2025_
- Manders Organ Builders completed a 12 month full restoration of the organ. The work included expanding its musical range. In 1928 when the organ was built by Harrison and Harrison it had 1284 pipes. It now has 1498 pipes.
## _Adrian Vincent_
## **Deanery Synod Review**
The Deanery Synod meetings are always lively and informative. The summer meeting at Woodhill Church Knaphill in June was mainly concerned with the concept of Eco Church. Three guest speakers each took five minutes to give us their background and tell their Net Zero/Eco Church stories. Then, Martin Carr, (Net Zero Project and Engagement Lead,) spoke about his background at St Paul’s Marylebone where projects included “Let there be light” to install LEDs and “Raise the roof” to install solar panels.
There followed a lively Open Forum where participants asked their questions regarding the Eco Church awards and asked what help the diocese could give reattaining these and other practical matters.
The meetings always finish with an update of news from around the diocese, e.g. clergy appointments etc.
Our rural Dean, Mark Wallace, will be standing down soon and I am standing down as one of the two Deanery Synod Representatives of All Saints Woodham. I do commend the role to people as the meetings are interesting.
There are only a few each year and the winter meeting takes place on Zoom. They offer a good opportunity to meet fellow Christians from other churches and so discover different approaches to issues all churches share.
## _Janet Cummins_
## **Safeguarding Review**
The PCC has the responsibility to ensure the church does its best to safeguard the members. There are two aspects to this:
## 1. Safeguarding of children and young adults
This entails making sure any person interacting with either group over or above the confines of a church service has been DBS checked. It also means looking out for signs of abuse of those in our midst. The PCC members must each complete training in safeguarding and domestic abuse (currently online), provided by the diocese.
## 2. Risk Assessment
Each time the church puts on an activity, over and above the regular church services, it is required to complete a risk assessment. This should then be approved by the PCC.
Outside users and hirers of the church, church hall and parish room are required to sign to confirm they have completed a risk assessment for the activity before it can be held. They also sign to say they are aware of the Church of England’s safeguarding policy to which we adhere to at All Saints.
The PCC and churchwardens also make sure the church premises is fit for purpose.
Two copies of the Church of England’s Safeguarding Handbook are in the parish office. These are required reading for the PCC but may also be signed out and read by any member of the congregation. The handbook can also be found online https://www.churchofengland.org/safeguarding/policy-and-practice-guidance/templatesand-resources.
Safer recruitment training has been completed by additional members of the PCC.
“The care and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults involved in Church activities is the responsibility of the whole Church. Everyone who participates in the life of the Church has a role to play in promoting a Safer Church for all.” Promoting a safer church policy document, Church of England.

## **Flower Arranging Review**
Flowers give glory to God.
The Flower Team arranges displays which try to reflect this.
Apart from the season of Lent, we have a permanent ever changing, colour appropriate display of flowers in front of the statue of Our Lady. For High Days and Holidays, we also decorate the High Altar and Lady Chapel.
We are always looking for more volunteers who feel they may have some artistic flair where flowers are concerned. We are also grateful for any monetary gifts towards the purchase of flowers.
## _Jennie Shand Higgins & Team_
## **Parish Hall Review**
Although we had another strong year for bookings, revenue was slightly down from the high of 2024. This may have been because we had more of our fundraising events in the hall at weekends, rather than paying hirers,
Once again, we made some improvements to the hall by completely renovating the hall floor, as it had begun to show signs of wear and tear. This should now be good for purpose for many years to come.
The hall light switches were also moved from the cupboard in the kitchen, to by the double doors at the entrance to the hall. This is so much more convenient for hirers and means less traffic into the kitchen which is particularly beneficial when Papillon Cakes are using the kitchen.
We gained one more regular user on a Friday evening which is a Yoga session. These begun in August after the floor had been renovated.
We still retain all our other regular weekly users, many of which have used the hall for many years.
Guildford Mothers’ Union continue to rent the small meeting room for their office space (apart from a period in the summer when it was used as the temporary Parish Office!)
Papillon Cakes made a lot of use of the hall kitchen, especially during the summer months.
Hall bookings for all types of parties remained strong throughout the year, meaning the hall is used frequently over the weekends.
Maintenance and stewarding of the hall remain demanding but we do the best we can with the resources we have. With Adrian stepping down as Churchwarden at this year’s APCM, it may well be that we will have to rely more on outside contractors to do basic maintenance at the hall moving forward.
On a side note, the Jean Rignell Room is now being used more frequently both during the day and in the evening by outside users. The improved facilities (after this year’s refurbishment works) make this a very attractive space for all sorts of groups.

## **Refreshments Review**
## Current team: **(Janet Cummins), Babs & Lulu Akinyanju, Judy Smith, Penny Ives, Devi Ramsey & Denise Bailey**
Another year has passed and our small stalwart team has provided coffee and tea after the Sunday Morning Service every week and I would like to extend my grateful thanks to them all.
It has been a somewhat difficult year with illness and having to be in Church temporarily whilst the building works were being carried out. However, it is a joy to use our new kitchen which is a vast improvement and our thanks again to the legacy left by our friend Jean Rignell.
Unfortunately, a few members of our team have suffered ill health and have had to relinquish their coffee duties. Our thanks to Shirley Price for all her help and especially to Janet Cummins who has been a stalwart for many, many years and has combined this with being part of our Choir…she has decided to step down for the foreseeable future as she has not been well.
However, we have welcomed two newcomers Devi and Penny – they have been a wonderful asset to our team, and it is good to have Judy back after her health issues.
Our current suggested donation for a drink and biscuit is £1.00. On average we take about £25 a week for Church funds.
We know that our Sunday Coffee is much appreciated by the Congregation and is seen as part of our wider fellowship; it is certainly our hope and intention to carry on providing this.
In general, we do at least one week per month each. Please feel free to let me know if you can help our team – even if only occasionally.
## _Denise Bailey_
## **Intercessor Review**
The prayer tree in the church provides the opportunity for anyone to hang their request for prayers for themselves and/or their loved ones. There is good uptake in using the tree and prayer requests are normally gathered up and prayed for at the Tuesday Taizé Mass.
Our last intercessory prayer session was in September 2024, following which three more people were added to the list of intercessors. The rota is produced every 2-3 months, and it works well with intercessors choosing the dates that suit them. We are blessed to have eleven people willing to intercede for us on a regular basis.
I am conscious that the same people often support other activities in the church, so we are willing to hold another intercessory prayer session for any new volunteers. We will support you throughout the process.
I send a huge ‘Thank you’ to all those who continue to persevere in prayer and intercede at All Saints Church, Woodham.

**Music Review**
## **The Organ**
Reading through the last three years’ reports, it has been good to note the speedy progress through the process of refurbishing our organ. We know that we are to be extremely grateful to our benefactors.
To quote from the short-form information provided to visitors:
The Organ was built and installed in 1928 by Harrison & Harrison of Durham, incorporating some pipework from the earlier Walker organ in the church. This small 3-manual instrument is a superb surviving example of their work from that era and was voiced by Harrison’s ‘top team’, supervised by Arthur Harrison himself. The extensive 2025 refurbishment was undertaken by Mander Organ Builders of Canterbury, involving full dismantling of the instrument, pipe cleaning, re-leathering and installing a new electronic control system. At the same time the specification has been enhanced by a new Great Mixture, an additional twelve pipes on the Choir Harmonic Flute and a new solo trumpet available on both Great and Choir divisions and extended downwards as a 16' trombone on the Pedal, along with additional octave and sub-octave couplers.
## **The Choir**
It has been two kinds of a year for the choir. The basic set up has been even more brittle over the last twelve months, due to illness amongst our regular members. Available regulars have been resourceful in adapting weekby-week and maintaining musical enrichment to our Sunday morning services at whatever level is achievable.
Conversely, the numbers of capable singers who enjoy singing with us for major services at other times continues to grow, creating the potential to be even more ambitious with these services.
## **Anything Else?**
Choir and organ matters are the things that spring to mind, but I am happy to be quizzed on other aspects of the musical set up.
_Jeffrey Gray_
## **Reader’s Review**
A sincere thank you to the 35 members of the congregation who have so willingly stepped up to read during this past year every Sunday and for our other special services.
As Readers are usually asked to commit themselves well ahead Tracy sends out the reading during the previous week by email, which acts as a reminder. There is also a Readers' List displayed on the notice board in the Jean Rignall room which you can check when you come in for coffee.
As the Lectern steps have no handrail, which could be hazardous for some coming up to read, this year readers can ask for a microphone to be brought to their seat. This has been greatly appreciated by those who have already taken advantage of the service.
It is such a pleasure to listen to all the different voices, and it helps make the worship belong to all of us. If you would like to read you will be very welcome, we have lost a few readers this year.
_Sandy Smith_
## **Sacristy Review**
I am very grateful to all who have assisted throughout the year in serving at the various liturgies. My specific thanks go to **Gavin Loveday and Zac Winn-Smith** who have helped maintain where possible a regular serving team alongside myself. Special thanks also go to **Janet Busby** and **Rob Hoy** who have helped to top up the serving team when required.
We could do with more (as is always the case) in order to ease the burden on just three of us at present. If you feel able to assist in becoming a server, please let Tracy or myself know.
## _Dave Evans_
## **Welcome Team Review**
The aim of the Welcome Team is to greet our Church family; friends; visitors and guests for Sunday Mass. It is important we are seen to be a welcoming and friendly Church.
Thank you to those who have helped along the way this past year: **Judy Smith, Anna Loveday, Janet Busby, Tracy Woodward, Denise Bailey, Jonathan Gasson** and **Babs Akinyanju.**
A special thank you to **Judy Smith** who organised the sidespeople during my absence in December.
I shall be standing down as the Welcome Team Coordinator from May this year. If anyone is willing to take on this role, please let me know. It is not an onerous task but does require a commitment.
It would be good to have a regular team of a minimum of four people to cover each Sunday of every month on a rota system. Please let me know if you are interested or able to assist on the odd occasion. Additional assistance is always welcome during Special Services: Baptism, Church Festivals, Easter, Christmas.
## _Jenny McMahon_
## **Licensed Lay Minister Review**
I firstly would like to thank Fr Roland and everyone for their support during the past year, whilst I was completing my Spiritual Direction course.
This year, I have preached twice, been part of the intercessions team and administered the chalice. I have also worshipped along with all in the congregation.
I also kept a pastoral ‘eye’ on everyone but especially the families that attended.
## _Carole Gasson_
**Financial Review**
## _Incoming Resources_
The financial situation of the parish is relatively healthy state as at the end of the year. However, we are hugely reliant on our parish hall to maintain our income to enable us to maintain all aspects of parish life.
We have been part of the Parish Giving Scheme for nearly 2 years, and this is proving much easier to manage for regular giving as has reduced the burden of work on the treasurer. If you have not joined the Parish Giving Scheme and are a regular contributor, please do consider moving across to this scheme. Also if you are relatively new to our church and would consider giving on a monthly basis, please speak to Dave Evans about your options.
Total incoming resources during the year were **£235,438** of which **£55,565** was restricted.
To note the following legacy received during 2025.
## General Legacies **£50,000 Alan Taylor Legacy**
Our main source of income outside of regular giving and donations is from the Parish Hall. We had a decrease this year due in part to our own use of the hall for fundraising and other events.
2024 **£44,344** 2025 **£39,945**
Planned giving over the past year has increased slightly by around **£1,500** over the course of the year. We are growing in numbers so anticipation would be that our giving increases. I would add that our cash and card collections have increased, however this technically does not count towards our planned giving. This figure is very important when it comes to the diocese and in the eventuality, we need another incumbent in the future.
## _Outgoing Resources_
In terms of expenditure our largest item is our Parish Share to the Diocese which increased to **£73,973** an increase on previous years of roughly **£4,000** – this has been paid in full.
All other unrestricted expenditure was as standard for the running of the parish. On an average month the cost to run the church is **£10,000** .
## _Reserves Policy_
Even though the parish finances are in relatively good order, the level of reserves has increased, however we should not be complacent in the funds we generate in order to maintain those reserves for major works. The PCC notes the importance of maintaining the fabric and major projects which are currently in process and future projects for the survival of the parish. As per last year the Treasurer will maintain a minimum working capital of £25,000 in order to cover unexpected issues.
## _Structure, Governance and Management_
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent, churchwarden/s, the reader and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our services/members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. New members receive initial training into the workings of the PCC. The full PCC met **6** times during the year with an average level of attendance of **11** .
Given its wide responsibilities the PCC has a standing committee which makes decision between the bi-monthly PCC meetings.

Total 2025 Total 2024 Chan
The hi5corical cost of constructing the Parish Hall, which was built many year5 ago is deemed unsU5tainable. The
Parish Hall is main major income contributor to the pastoral and financial operation of the parish.
The Parish Hall's position adjacent to the church and some residential properties restricts its use. There is no
drainage and the electrical supply is on the end of the line. For all practical purposes, the Parish Hall is considered
un-saleable.
Atcordingly, no value is shown for the Parish Hall in the Balance Sheet. The fabric of the building is now Showing a
lot of degradation and potential repairs and possible redevelopment to bring it up to modern standards. During
2020 we managed co complete the collets and front facing windows project which has much improved the potential
hireability of the Parish Hall. There is still further works that need to be carried to improve furthermore in the
future. Therefore at this time, until those further works are carried no value will be presented on the Balance
Sheet.
