Report for Annual Accounts 2024
The Parochial Church Council of All Saints kings Heath has fulfilled its obligations to the neighbourhood in 2024 through the provision of regular public worship; Care of the building and environs of All Saints; the provision of pastoral care available to any resident of the parish; the conduct of baptisms, weddings and funerals.
Public worship is publicised to passers-by in the Village Square and to enquirers via our website and, with permission, through social media. All Saints continues its tradition of inclusivity, affirming all who wish to take part in Christian worship whatever their background. Through its management of finance the PCC enable the church to be available and comfortable for worship each day and particularly on Sundays. The PCC is deeply grateful for the continued loyal financial support of regular worshippers whose committed regular giving through the worsening cost of living crisis, still enabling such provision to continue.
2024 has seen the continued gradual growth of congregation in number and diversity of ethnicity and age, people of all age decades being represented most Sundays. The PCC ensured the church ran smoothly in the absence of the Vicar during his three month sabbatical.
By delegating responsibilities to All Saints Community Projects and the All Saints Community Development Company, the PCC offers safe space in the Centre and Village Square for community activities and pastoral conversation as we welcome all kinds of Kings Heath residents to the site. The PCC collaborates with other local organisations, sharing our space for the benefit of the wider community including Kings Heath Pride, local schools’ Christmas services in church, school visits for RE and history, the Business Association carol service, and a 10[th] anniversary celebration for a local funeral director business. For the second time we hosted an Eid celebration (at which we became guests) in the village square which incorporates our churchyard. The PCC and incumbent have also provided the care required of them for those seeking baptism, marriage or funeral services at the church throughout the year. Occasional Offices conducted for Kings Heath neighbours included four weddings, four baptisms, nine funerals and three burials of ashes.
The PCC have cared for the Church building, and have ensured the safety of the site and Centre buildings through All Saints Community Projects, delivering services and All Saints Community Development Company managing the community buildings. Following ASCDC’s successful application to the Youth Investment Fund for £3m our facilities for young people have been completed and our Older People’s Centre moved to its new facilities. The PCC and Congregation organised an opening ceremony with the Bishop of Aston.
Our paid staff, including an administrator serving both church and Development Company, work with many volunteers to provide hospitality inside and outside the building.
