All Saints N20 Report and Accounts for year ending 31st December 2025 Aim and purposes The Parochial Church Council of All Saints, Friern Barnet (the °PCC° or "we") co-operates wlth the clergy based in the parish, in promoting public worship, teaching, evangelism and pastoral work in the ecclesiastical parish of All Saints, Friern Barnet lalso known as All Saints, N201, and in supporting other charities in the UK. The PCC is also responsible for the maintenance and operation of All Saints, church hall. Objectives and activities The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish communlty at All Saints,. Our services and worship put faith Into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. When planning its activities for the year the PCC and the priests based in the parish considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and. in particular. the guidance on chartties for the advancement of religlon. The PCC tries to enable people to live out thelr faith as part of our parish community through: worship and prayer, teaching the gospel, and developin8 their knowledge and trust in Jesus the provision of pastoral care for those living in the parish missionary and outreach work. To facillate and support this work the PCC judges that it is important that the PCC maintains the fabric of All Saints, Church and the church hall. Achievements and performance Curate-in-charge The m05t important event this year was the licensin8 of The Revd Gospel Iwuoha as our new Curate-in-charge on 22. September 2025 by Bishop Anderson Jeremiah. Fr Gospel had been selected almost a year prior to the SeiCe, but issues beyond our control arose to
All Salnts, N20 Report and Accounts for year ending 31st December 2025 All Saints N20 prevent his licensing any earlier. He had, however. been conducting services In the parish all year unto that point alongside The Revd Harry Lamb, our longstanding Associate Vicar. As recorded last year, we remain grateful for the continued ministry to All Saints, of Fr Harry, who has been a strong, steady presence at All Saints. through two vacancies. Worship and prayer We have continued to hold our main Sunday service at 10am. Initially we aimed to follow a monthly pattern of services: First Sunday of the Month: 10am said Mass according to the Book of Common Prayer I"BCP ) and then a Choral Evensong at 6.30pm Second, Fourth and Fifth Sunday&: Regular Parish Mass at 10am Third Sunday: Choral Mass at loam, with more significant choral input. In September, we recognised that there was no wish to put on a full choral evensong as we had with our previous director of music and moved to a fresh monthly pattern: First, Second and Fifth Sundays: Regular Parish Mass according to Common Worship at 10am Third Sunday of the Month: 10am BCP Mass with hymns Fourth Sunday a Family service based on Common Worship at loam, with fewer readings read by the children. intercessions perhaps written by the children, a shorter address. Sunday School, under the leadership of Sarah Rice, met less regularly as Sarah Rice was no longer able to commit weekly. We thank Sarah for her continued leadership of this important aspect of ourworship and mission, and pray that someone else will commit to leadlng Sunday School alongside Sarah. Throughout the year, the regular weekday Eucharist has continued with a small but loyal congregation, which can be as many as 10. We continued throughout the yearto broadcast morning and evening prayer daily. This has become a regular part of our spiritual life, continuing throughout the year. We hold regular online Morning and Evening Prayers on weekdays at 8.30am and 5.30pm as follow5..

All Saints, N20 Report and Accounts for year endlng 31st December 2025 All Saints N20 Financial review After last yearfs exceptional result. it's back to a poor year financially in 2025 - essentially because of two bills. First. an electricity bill at the end of March for £15,927 for electricity dating back to June 2024. The absence of a bill in the final months of 2024 did contribute to last year's good result but even if we had received this bill, last year would Still have been a good year. Secondly, we had to spend £18,960 on repairs to the church roof, which the insurers are refusing to pay because their loss adjustor says they already have- we belleve that they haven't, but our attempts to resolve this are $0 far unsuccessful. This means that last year on unrestricted funds- our normal day to day accounts- we suffered a loss of £20, 456. This has not been helped by our making a loss on hall actlvities for the first time in many years, certainly under my stewardship of the accounts. In 2024, hall Income was £92,502 (bolstered by an insurance claim of £5,000) whereas this year, income had reduced to £74,895. Expenditure was £81,99112024'. £69,116), leading to a loss of ££7,09612024 a profit of £23,286). Admittedly, without the large electricity bill. which largely related to the hall, the hall would have just about broken even, but there are other factors at play. First, the bar, largely run for a Friday dance group and a monthly rock and roll dance only made a small profit. People's habits have changed, and they just are not spending as much. Secondly, the state of the toilets discourages new lets. We do need to rebuild them as 500n as POS5ible. Finally, and it will have more impact this year, but towards the end of last year, our administrator, Stephanie, went on maternity leave. The impact of this on a small employer like us is considerable. On non-hall matters. income was £80,56312024'. £75,131) although this masked a decline in voluntary giving to £34,27812024: £35,711) hence our need a few weeks ago to push stewardship and giving in church. Our expenditure on non-hall matters was £93,92312024: 75,0201, the increase being entirely accounted for by the roofing bill I mentioned above. This meant a loss of £13,36012024 a profit of £121}. Other than the roofing bill. this would have been a significant result on no-hall matters, boosted by profit on Yundraising events of £6,01112024: £31821, of which the profit on the Mardi Gras of £861 was allocated to the hall toilet fund. Many thanks to the inspirational efforts on Annette Ross, our organiser supreme. The toilet fund stood at £38,546. We had hoped to bolster this with excess monies from our heatin8 fund, but this is now unlikely as the government have withdrawn the fund which allowed the relmbursement of VAT paid on works to listed buildings- thls has been replaced by a grant scheme, for which we will apply, but the certainty of
All Saints, N20 Report and Accounts for year ending 31st December 2025 All Saints N20 reimbursement has gone. Reserves At the end of 2025. our reserves dropped to £19,985, and in context, this means that if 2026 is as bad as last year, we will be insolvent. We need to redouble our efforts to increase our reserves and scrutinise all expenditure closely. Volunteers The PCC would like to thank all the many parishioners who volunteer to work so hard to make All Saints, the lively and vibrant community it is, whether they be churchwardens, our welcoming team, PCC members, choristers. servers, cleaners, gardeners, flower arrangers, bell-ringers, those helping to run the halls, those helping in our fundraising or to organise soaal events or those who work with children and youn8 people. Their contribution 15 invaluable, and All Saints, could not function wlthout them.
