Annual Report of the Parochial Church Council January to December 2024

1 Who are we?

All Saints’ Church, Queensbury (ASQ) is situated in Waltham Drive, Edgware, Middlesex, HA8 5PQ. We are part of the Willesden Episcopal Area of the Diocese of London within the Church of England.

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of ASQ is a registered charity. No. 1138293

2 What do we do?

2.1 Aims and Purposes

The PCC has the responsibility of working alongside the Vicar, when in post, in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church - pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the church building of ASQ and the church hall where many of the activities take place.

2.2 Objectives and Activities

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at ASQ and become part of our parish community. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and considers how our services can involve the many groups who live within the parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.

When planning our activities for the year, the Vicar and PCC have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance to charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:

3 Review of the year

3.1 Worship, Prayer and Discipleship

We are currently in a period of vacancy, but the Churchwardens have been able to find clergy cover on all but one Sunday so far since May 2024. The PCC aim to offer a range of services on Sundays, during the week and over the course of the year that enable our community to draw closer to God, worship with one another, and develop in spiritual maturity.

[A3]

The principal act of worship each week takes place on Sundays at 10am and is the Parish Communion. We also held a mid-week service of Holy Communion on Wednesdays at 3pm, using traditional language Book of Common Prayer, to encourage those who find it difficult to be ready in time for a 10am start to have an opportunity to worship. However, once we went into vacancy this service was suspended. We hope to reinstate this service and increase our range of services once our new incumbent arrives in the Autumn. The whole community also worships together for major festivals. Young people take an active part in these services where possible.

Additional services are held in particular seasons of the year, for example Lent and Advent.

All are welcome to attend our services. After a total review of our Electoral Roll in April 2025 there are 51 ( 90 ) numbers in brackets relate to 2024) parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll, 31 ( 55 ) of whom are resident in the parish, and 20 (35) of whom are not resident in the parish. For a full report on our Electoral Roll, see p7 of the Annual Report. The average weekly attendance across all regular services, counted in October 2024, was 25 (19).

During 2024 the church was used for

We held our 70[th] Anniversary Service on November 3[rd] , 2024, and invited past members of the congregation to attend. A previous incumbent, now Rector at St John the Evangelist Stanmore and also Harrow Area Dean, The Reverend Matthew Stone presided at the service, assisted by The Right Reverend John Went (retired). The service was enjoyed by all those who attended.

We also held a Carol Service with Queensbury Methodist Church on the last Sunday before Christmas which everyone enjoyed.

In addition to worship, spiritual growth is encouraged through prayer and Bible study. We held a joint lent group in Lent 2024 organised by The Reverend Kate Blake assisted by The Reverend Ben Twumasi (QMC) and The Right Reverend John Went (retired).

3.2 Pastoral Care

The Vicar and PCC are committed to the pastoral care of all people in the parish of All Saints. Holy Communion is taken regularly to some housebound parishioners by the Vicar, and there is one lay person who has the Bishop of Willesden’s permission to take the Sacrament into people’s homes. Visits are made to people who are unwell at home or in hospital.

[A4]

3.3 Missionary.

Regrettably, during 2025 we did not send monetary donations to any charities, but we were able to support the Harrow Food Bank with our Harvest donations.

3.4 Outreach

ASQ seeks to foster good relationships with local schools. During the vacancy we have been able to continue links with a local school. We welcomed 120 children from Stag Lane School to All Saints’ Church in 2024. We showed them round and answered their questions. We hope the new incumbent will carry on and expand this important work.

We continued to support the Harrow Foodbank with our Harvest gifts and other interim donations.

3.5 Premises

The PCC is responsible for the church building and the church hall. The Automated gates that had been installed into the car park and new security lighting fitted to the church hall overlooking the church garden, have helped to curb the antisocial behaviour that had been experienced. A major project for the church continues to be in the planning stage – improvements to the entrance doors, lobby, and cloakroom facilities. In the foreseeable future, the church will also require re-wiring.

The church hall is an important resource as an amenity for church use, e.g. for congregational celebrations, and as a facility for local community groups. It has in the past attracted a wide variety of bookings because of the facilities we can offer – large hall with stage, small hall, modern kitchen, and car parking, including facilities for people with disabilities. Regrettably, we have had to suspend occasional hiring of the hall for occasional lets as we do not have the staff to open and close the hall or to ensure that it is left in a good condition. We do still have our regular hirers who are now able to hire extra slots over the weekends if the hall is free and they are responsible for the hall while they are there. The income generated by hall lettings is an important constituent of ASQ’s income. We were able to replace the main outer doors to the hall and the outer fire doors this year as they were originally fitted when the hall was built in 1975.

The church building is on the lists, maintained by the London Boroughs of Brent and Harrow, of emergency venues for use in case of a local incident.

Wi-fi is available in both the church and church hall.

[A5]

3.6 Ecumenical Relationships

ASQ is a member of Churches Together in Kingsbury and Queensbury (CTKQ). The member Churches are:

There is a particularly close relationship between ASQ and Queensbury Methodist Church. A joint service is usually held on Palm Sunday and a memorial service at All Souls’ tide in November, as well as an annual Carol Service held between the two churches, and we cooperate closely on the Lent study course held at ASQ.

4 Financial Review

4.1 Financial Position

In 2024, All Saints Church, Queensbury (ASQ) had at the end of the year a total of £163,216 within its Designated, Restricted and Unrestricted funds.

All of the funds are held as cash deposits either with NatWest bank or with the CBF Church of England Deposit Funds (CCLA).

4.2 Commentary on Receipts and Payments

TOTAL RECEIPTS received in 2024 was £86,236 a drop of £39,130 when compared to £125,366 received in 2023. This drop is due to the fact that we had a legacy of £35,000 in 2023 and as we also do not currently have a Church Hall Manager, we have been unable to rent the hall to occasional hall hirers.

The majority of the church’s income was received within the following headings:

Stewardship - Received a total of £25,165 (a figure which includes not just what was given by the congregation but also tax reclaimed from the government). ASQ also received £458 from our collection box and £909 from donations/appeals.

Hall lettings – ASQ received total funds of £52,355 This figure is £5,154 less than what ASQ received (£57,509) in 2023.

Legacy Funds - ASQ received a bequest gift sum of £1,265, a figure which we are very grateful for.

Bank interest- of £3,958 received on our deposits with NatWest Bank and CCLA reflect the increased bank interest rates now being paid on deposits placed in a bank.

[A6]

TOTAL PAYMENTS/EXPENSES in 2024 was £97,076, a figure of £23,358 more than £73,718 spent in 2023. This increased figure reflects the increasing economic costs and cost (£19,853) of replacing the church entrance hall doors.

The bulk of our expenditure was spent on the within the following headings:

Diocesan Common Fund: ASQ contributed £25,200 in 2024. The Common Fund covers the direct costs of parish ministry such as clergy spends on housing, together with central Diocesan support costs, education and outreach activities which ASQ is very happy to continue contributing to.

Hall running costs: To keep the church hall in a good condition so that we can encourage our regular hirers to continue to hire the Church Hall, ASQ incurred a cost of £24,793 which included the cost of maintaining the hall surroundings, hygiene in the toilets, nursery playing area and the leaking hall roof.

Church running costs: ASQ also spent £22,433 in maintaining the church in 2024. The church running costs include and are not limited to the following: energy and water bills, Book- Keeper fees, church Insurance, bank charges and hiring a gardener to help maintain a neat and tidy church grounds.

The NET POSITION as of December 2024, was a surplus of £9,013 (that is income of £86,236 less expenses of £77,223 not taking into account the cost of replacing the church’s hall entrance doors (£19,853) paid for through designated funds.

4.3 Looking Forward to 2025 and beyond

The church is hoping for a steady increase in income in 2025. We hope to have a Hall Manager, in order that we can rent the hall to occasional hall hires and increase our income. At the same time, we will continue to be very prudent over our spending costs.

Looking at the income/expenditure figures, the PCC members have agreed to increase our contribution to the Diocesan Common Fund by £1000, with the total amount in 2025 being £26,200, payable by £2,183 per month. This new contribution has been accepted by the Diocese.

Expenditure and energy prices are expected to also increase in 2025. ASQ will have to carefully consider and place in a priority order which of the following work and repairs that need to be done in the near future:

Most of these works will be funded by money saved within the different designated accounts and donations that ASQ may receive.

[A7]

4.4 Reserves Policy

The agreed reserves policy at ASQ is as follows:

The Designated Funds (in which we had a total of £73,570) also forms part of the unrestricted reserves. These amounts have been set aside over many years by the PCC for various purposes but unlike the restricted funds, they could be brought back into general funds. Some of these are legacies which have been recorded as designated funds so that the monies can be identified and spent in a way which would have suited the preferences of the deceased. The Hall Major Renovations Fund, Church Major Renovations Fund and Fabric Fund were set up to help meet the costs of major maintenance work when it arises.

Where money has been given for a specific purpose, it is recorded and placed in a restricted fund.

There is a full list of reserves in note 7 to the accounts.

5 Deanery Synod

Deaneries are small geographical divisions of the Diocese, within which parishes are grouped under the care of an Area Dean. All Saints’ Queensbury is in the Harrow Deanery and therefore has representatives on Harrow Deanery Synod.

The deanery synod is a statutory body under the Synodical Government Measure 1969. There are 24 deanery synods in the Diocese of London, one per deanery, each consisting, in the main, of the licensed and beneficed clergy of the deanery; the lay parochial representatives elected by the annual parochial church meetings of each parish in the deanery; and ex-officio (General and Diocesan Synod) members.

Deanery Synods potentially have a significant role in the synodical system. They sit between PCCs at parish level and the higher synodical levels governing the Area and Diocese. One of the most important objectives of the Synodical Government Measure 1969 was to strengthen church organisation at deanery level. The task of the deanery synods, as set out in the Measure is as follows:

[A8]

The deanery synod may not issue any statement purporting to declare the doctrine of the Church on any question.

Harrow Deanery Synod met three times during 2024. The report covering the year can be found on p12 of our main Annual Report.

6 Risk Management

6.1 Health and Safety

Risk Registers are in place for all activities undertaken by All Saints’ Queensbury and are reviewed annually by the PCC.

6.2 Safeguarding

The care and protection of children, young people and adults involved in church activities is the responsibility of everyone who participates in the life of the church, and it's a responsibility we take very seriously. The PCC have adopted the House of Bishops' Safeguarding Policy, available on our website and reviewed by the PCC annually, which promotes a safe church for everyone we are involved with.

If you have a concern about a child, young person, or adult who may be at risk of harm, please speak the Vicar, or to one of our Safeguarding team - our Safeguarding Officer is Olaide Gbadebo, who can be reached on 07985 354999. Our Safeguarding Report for this year can be found on p13 of our Annual Report.

6.3 Financial Risks

The biggest financial risk for the church is still the fact of not being able to rent the Church Hall especially to our regular hirers. A loss of one or more of the major hirers of the church hall would affect our income and ability to maintain the Church and Hall running costs. However, if this should happen, ASQ has sufficient unrestricted or designated funds to enable us to meet our expenses while other lettings were sought. The church also continues to maintain adequate insurance across all identified risks.

7 Structure, Governance and Management

7.1 Parochial Church Council (PCC)

The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The method and appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The PCC is registered with the

[A9]

Charity Commission under the full title of “The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of All Saints’ Church, Queensbury (Diocese of London)” with a working name of “PCC of All Saints’ Church, Queensbury” (No. 1138293). The members of the PCC are the trustees of the charity.

PCC members are elected to serve for a three-year term. All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.

The PCC meets 6 times per year for normal business. It is responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how funds are to be spent. Special meetings are held as required. Signed copies of PCC minutes are displayed on the internal church notice board for church members to view. Training for PCC members is provided each year by the Diocese.

Some of the work of the PCC is delegated to various committees, reporting back to the full PCC as appropriate:

7.2 Standing Committee

The Standing Committee is the only committee legally required. It has power to transact the business of the PCC between meetings, subject to any directions given by the PCC. The Standing Committee meets if any urgent matter arises which cannot wait until the scheduled PCC Meeting.

7.3 Finance Committee

The Finance Committee meets as and when required. It would meet if there were a need to give advice to the PCC on financial issues or to make financial decisions when there is a deadline that is before the date of the next PCC meeting.

7.4 Buildings Committee

The Buildings Committee is responsible to the PCC for the upkeep and maintenance of the church, church hall and grounds, producing proposals for works, together with budgets of expenditure for consideration by the PCC.

7.5 Hall Committee

The Hall Committee is responsible to the PCC for the management and letting of the church hall; reviewing rents annually; preparing/updating the terms and conditions for the hire of the hall and parish room; reviewing the gratuities paid to the hall caretaker and reviewing the terms of any contracts entered into in respect of the hall.

7.6 Social Committee

The Social Committee is responsible to the PCC for the social and fund-raising events in the parish; suggesting ideas for social and fund-raising events; preparing and publishing an annual list of events; publicising events, selling tickets, coordinating, and organising the events.

[A10]

7.7 Volunteers

The achievements of the PCC are only possible because of the number of volunteers who give generously of their time and energy. Volunteers undertake a wide variety of tasks including (but not restricted to) membership of the various committees and visiting teams, stewardship of buildings, stewardship of finances, church cleaning, flower arranging, music, sidespersons, sacristan, refreshments providers, intercession leaders and administration. The PCC gratefully acknowledges all such contributions.

I report on the accounts of the PCC of All Saints, Queensbury, for the year ended 31[st] December 2024, which are set out in the attached pages.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The PCC (the church trustees) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The PCC consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission.

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the PCC concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view ‘and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1 Basis of Preparation

The financial statements of the PCC have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 using the Receipts and Payments basis. All figures have been rounded to show whole £s.

2 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are not shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by s.96 (2)(a) of the Charities Act 1993.

Movable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC, and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted as inalienable property unless consecrated.They are listed in the church's inventory which can be inspected at any reasonable time.

The PCC asserts that the Church Hall is considered an integral part of the Church curtilage and not capable of being sold separately. Its value is not therefore reflected in the accounts.

3 Trustee Expenses

No expenses were paid to any member of the PCC- excluding working expenses of Incumbent (as listed)

No payments were made to any other persons closely connected to PCC members.

Independent Examiner's Report to the PCC of All Saints Queensbury I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are set out in the attached pages. Respective responsibilities of the PCC and the examiner The PCC (the chwch truslees) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The PCC consider that an audit is noi required for this year under section 144(2) of the CharEties Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an Independent Examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 201 l Act. To follow the procedures laid do￿7] in the general directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5){b) of the 2011 Act. and To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of independent examiner's report My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not proi'ide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. Independent Examiner's statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention; ( l ) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements o to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 201 l Act have not been met; or (2) To which, in m). opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 7 May 2025 D Taylor-mew FMAAT 123 Park Lane Harrow Middlesex HA2 8NN
