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 Se￿iCe, but issues beyond our control arose to

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..
Monday5- Morning and Evening Prayers
Tuesdays- Morning and Evening Prayers
Wednesdays- Evening Prayers onlv

Deanery Synod
The Barnet Deanery Synod met twice during the year. in June and November, and
provides the PCC with an important link between the parlsh and the wider structures of
the church. This year it discussed cllmate justiceleco church and the growing aging
population in Barnet, and the Services currently provided by Age VK.
Children and Young People
As mentioned, twlce a month on Sundays duringterm time our Sunday School happens
in the Church Hall parallel to the main service, with the chlldren joining us for
Communion. We are grateful to our Sunday School leader, Sarah Rice, for all that she
does. but if anyone else wishes to help, please speak to a priest or warden.
On one other Sunday each month our regular parish mass is child focussed, with
Participation by our young people.
During term time we run -Little Saints" a playgroup in the hall, open to the wider
community, and which is usually busy and great fun.
Other organisations also run events for children in our hall, ran8ing from Kumon maths
to a weekly nursery, singing and language and sport lessons.

The Wednesday morning Coffee, Cake and Cleanin8 Club in church, which brings
together priests. cleaners, flower arrangers and gardeners, as well as those wanting a
cup of coffee and a chat. has continued this year. We are grateful to all those who attend
for thelr work cleaning the church and maintaining the garden.
The clergy have continued to deliver pastoral care to those unable to attend church,
usually by bringing the reserved sacrament.

The PCC distributes a weekly newsletter by email - at the end of the year there
approximately 200 recipients. The PCC maintain a website, a "Church Near You" page. a

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

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.
