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 aL￿ut 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. Thls work ensure5 that our much-loved church remains a safe. warm and vibrant
space for worship, community gatherings. and events for many years to corne. This year, we have built and repaired not only with
tools and funds, but with faith and unity.
Perhaps one of the 8reatest ble5sin8s has been discovering new ways of brin8ing church and community together. Whether
thiou8h concerts, family activities, ￿lebrationS, or shared act5 01 service, we have strengthened the bonds that make St john's
truly.the Heart of the Wood." Enabling u5 to continue the mission and minlstry that blesse5 so many in our community.
Reverend Lisa's Licence has now been extended as Interim Mlnister for è further 3 years.

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

Fayre in Church early February 2024 which helped. Therefore, we have plans to do this a8ain in 2026
Funeral ministry Fune￿1 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.

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.

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 5nC￿a5e 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

commuriity. Our special thanks go to our Church Wardens. 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.
