AchiÈvÈments and Performance At the beginning of 2025, we set ourselves what felt like an impossible challenge.. to raise £25,000 for essential roof repairs and to replace our failing boiler. It wa5 a task rhat seemed far beyond our reach. And yet, before the end of the year the roof work ha5 been completed and a new boiler installed. This has been achieved through extraordinary generosity, creativity and perseverance. With fabulous communlty events, joyful fundraising effort5. and the help of several much-apprecsated grants. This year has taught us something profoundly important aLut who we are as a church and as a community. What felt impossible became possible when we worked together, prayed together. and trusted that God wa5 Wlth us in every Step. Caring for our buildin8 is not simply a practical task it 15 Part ol our calllng. St John's 15 rnore than bricks and mortar.. it is a plaee of prayer, sanctuary, cèlebration. welcome. and hope.

This year, we have built and repaired not only with tools and funds, but with faith and unity.

Worship and Prayer Alongside the practical developments, the spiritual and pastoral life of the parish remains at the centre of all we do. Week by week we gather for worship and prayer, seeking to Brow together in faith and discipleship. A particularly joyful moment in the life ol our church came in November. when the people of Stjohn's gathered lor a truly special occasion.. the Confirmation of 6 candidates. We were honoured to welcome Bishop Michael, accompanied by his Chaplain Reverend Treèna, who led the service with warmth. encouragement, and a clearsense of the Spirit's presence. It was a joyful and significant moment not only for those being confirmed but for the whole church family, reminding us of the ongoing loumey of faith and dtscipleship we share together. Reverend Lisa and the PCC continue to be keen to offer a range of services which attèmpts to cèterto all people5 preferred worship styles. We continue with a variety of services, from Holy Communson to Moming Worship, Evensong (based upon Common Worship Morning Prayer) and our All-Age Service. We try to enable people to feel comfortable èt different stèges of their Christian journev- Evening Prayer has stopped due to low numbers and a desire to explore a more reflective style of midweek Worship,. we are hoping to enhance and develop this further a5 a way of creating a more inclusive space. Bapt15ms have continued to be held on an afternoon which seems to be a popular time. Flegular Morning.Prayer has been well received within the cornmunity with a small but regular congre8ation who have now beeome part of the Leadership within this servlee. Intercession prayers continue to be led by several laity at the Sunday moming Worship.

We continued with our weekly Lent Reflectnie Service which was a Short 30-minute Service which included up to 15 minutes of quiet prayer time, whilst some gentle music played in the background. This quiet time offered, wa5 well received although lower in number5. Allowing time and space to stop, think and prèy. We also held a weekly Lent course exploring the Creed, this was very well attended and created interesting discussions. We held a Quiet Day in the Vicarage Garden during Av8USt as a way of coming together and praying lor the Parish.

Baptism We have had a lower number of 8aptism5. Preparation usually takes place either at the church.or in the homes of thè parents.. depending upon the minister. Weddlngs The number of Weddings has continued to be quite low at StJohn'5 due to V3rious other option5. We held a Wèdding Fayre in Church early February 2024 which helped. Therefore, we have plans to do this a8ain in 2026 Funeral ministry Fune1 numbers h&ve steadily decreased this year. One of the rèasons for this has been that the Churchyard is now full, therefore less buria15, also a greater demand for Direct to Crem Funèrals. However, there has been a significant Increase in burial of ashes. Families are always visited within good time before the funeral to allow time forthe preparation. The deceased are added to the weekly prayer list and prayed for at Morning prayer. The families are also invited to ourAnnual Memorial Service. Thi5 year. we have celebrated 10 baptisms and 2 wedding and 2 Blessings. We alp held 15 funerals with 18 Interments of ashes in Walsall Wood Cemetery. Mlsslon and Evaftgelism At St John'5 our Church life is based around the Christian values. Faith, Love, Hope and Respect. These values are interwoven into everythlng that we do, both in and outside of the building. The aim ol the church must not be self-serving but to seek to share God's love and to work for the Kingdom. Helpin8 those in need is a demonstration of our faith. This year has seen greater connections between Church and Comrnunity, especially through the new initiative of fundralslng events. These events have brought many people into Church that would not normally or have ever entered the buildin8. The Church supports several charities including Compassion, Bible Society and the Children's Society. Locally the church family supports the Walsall North Food Bank. Collection of Chri5trnas gifts, Toiletries and Easter Eg8s have bttn given to a local refuge for domestic violence and distributed to three local schools to be given to farnilies in need.

The churth continues to develop1Snks, and extensive work 15 Still bein8 carried out with the primary schools and local nursery. Rev Lisa has tomtinued to develop the link with our church school.

Following a year of fundraisln& a grant from the Minor Repairs Fund at Lichfield Diocese 3nd personal donations from members of the church have enabled tnajor roof repairs to thevestry and the replacement of various slates auoss the whole roof, together with the rèpair and removal of debris frorn the gutters. In 2025. followlng a Heating Engineer review and faculty approval, we were granted approval to replace our exlstlng gas boiler with a new one. provided it was cost-etrective and included variou5 controls. Together with the roof rèpairs ènd a grant from Wa15o11 Council. the year of fundraising enabled us tocomplete this installation by the end of 2025. 50 thatwe could have a warm Christmas at St John's. Financial Review Net Total Assets.. £54.697 20251£80,317 20241 Defecit.'1£12,32812025- Unrestricted Defecit..1£8,8281 Restrirted Defecit'.1£3.5001 IDefecit..1£9,666120241 At the end of 2025 there was a deficlt of1£8,8281, compared to1£4,94412024. However. the PCC hold1£5,3531 in Designated funds and £31,011 in Investments, that can be transferred back to General fund. The Church h3s numerous'Desi8nated' funds due to the various committed activities. Whilst it should be noted the designated funds are unrestrirted funds, the value in all funds is monitored regularly to ensure there are enou8h unrestricted lund5 to maintain support for committed costs in the Parish. The Church of England Common Fund has replaced the Parish Share in name and it's calculation for every Parish has been welcomed. It is hoped that this major expense to a Parish 15 a sust3inèblE and fair source of funding for the provision of clergy in the Diocese. Our prlndpal source of fundraising is the giving by the members of the church supported by a range of fundraisin8 events throughout the year. In the current econornic environment it h85 become clearthat it is harder for Indlviduals to maintain their levels of giving. although fundraising events have been well supported enabling some balance to income strearn5. We were also fortunate to obtain several grants to enable the installation of the new boiler and to contribute to the much needed roof repairs. We make extensive use of the opportunities provided by the Gift Aid Scherne. Our expenditure supports the mission of the church throu8h the maintenance and development of building5 and equipment, the fundiTig of runnin8 COSt5 and the payment of salaries, expenses, fee5 and the Cornmon Fund (Parish Share). In addition, funding has supported the church's work in our own community, a5 well as supporting other charities and 8ood Causes. Reserves Policy It is PCC policy to try to malntain a balance on free r&erves whlch equates to at least three months unrestrirted payments. In 2025 this was equivalent to £23.353 202512Q24.. £16.2021. It is held to smooth out fluctuations cash flow and to rneet emergencies. The balance of the free reseNes at year4nd was1£8,8281120241£4,94411 which is considerably lower than the tar8et. However, the PCC do hold £25,658 20251£17,398 20241 in designated funds, whlch Sncludes investments. This would 5nCa5e the balance to £16.830 20251£44,756 20241. This is still considerably lower than the target. The PCC are aware of thSs posltlon and aim to build up reserves within the unrestritted general fund. The Church makes use of short-term investment fund balances wth the CCLA Church of England Deposit Fund and in the CCLA Church of England Investment Fund. Investment Policy The charity is 8ranted power to invest in sU1table investments under the PCC Powers Measure 1956 and the Trustees Act 2000. A5 a charity. the Trustees have a duty of Ca to take such advice as is appropriate before investments are undertaken. This adviTr is Sought from the Central Board of Finance ICCLAI in London. The charity's investment policies are based on two key principles'.- Ethical Investment- thi5 includes ensuring that investments are held in companiès which have hlgh standards of corporate governance anil act in a responsible way towards stskeholders. Long-term respon5ibilities- the trustees are aware of their long-term responslbilltles In respect of the Restrirted and Unrestrirted reserves and as a result follow a prudent approach to investrnent decision5. Poge 5
Investment policy for long-term funds 55 aimed primarily at generatin8 a sustainable income. with due regard to the need for the preservation of capital value, and the possible need to realise investments to meet operational needs. The charity does not have a policy of Benerating income at excessive or high risk- known as-purcha5ing income- where high return5 are guaranteed at the expense of capital. In summary, the charity has an overall policy to maximise ineome while preserving the real value of its funds. Due to the nature of the charity, an ethical investment policy is taken into consideration when investments are made.. The charity follows the Ethical Investment Advsory policy as recommended by the Lichlield DI0$e which includes the following= e aim to invest in companies that.. will develop their busine55 in the interests of shareholders,. demonstrate responsible employment practices., are conscientious concerning i55ues of corporate govemance, the environment and human r4ghts,. are sensitive to the cornmunity in which they operate." Manned giving, collections and donations are the maln source5 of fund raising along with tax recoverable. Safeguaidlng The PCC believe they have fulfilled their duty under section S of the Safe8u3rdirig and Clergy Di5eipline Measure 2016 Iduty to have due regard to House of Bishops, guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adultsl. A new Safeguarding Officer was appointed by the PCC at the APCM Rèpoitlng Serious Incidents A Serious Incident 15 an adverse event, whether actual or alle8ed, which results in or risks significant harm to the chariws beneficiaries, employee5, office holders. volunteers or to others who come into contact with the charity through its work, 1055 of the charity's money or assets, damage to the charity's property or harm to the charit$ work or reputation.

Lay Chair, PCC Secretary and Treasurer, who have supported our Minister throughout the first half of her Interim appointment. Future Plans As we continue to be in uncertain times, there is always an ongoing concern for a potential shortfall in funding again in 2026. The effects of the Cost of Living increases continue to be felt in all areas of funding, on streams of both income and expenditure. We are conscious of the need to increase our regular giving as a Church Family to 5UPPOrtthe 8rowth of the Church, and to contribute to the further upkeep of the buildings with the necessary minor repair work that will undoubtedly be needed to be made to the ehurch structure during the year. Our hope is to connect with more members of our Walsall Wood tommunity and welcome them into our Church in 2026, whether that be to attend one ol our many planned Social and Fundraisin8 events, to join us in worship or to attend the special familv occasions for weddings, boptisms or funerals. St John's must remain at the heart of the Community ol Walsall Wood. Poge 6
