PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST FRANCIS OF ASSISI, TERRIERS 

## **ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR 2025** 

## **AIM AND PURPOSE** 

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of the parish of St Francis of Assisi, Terriers, has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent in promoting the whole mission of the Church within the ecclesiastical parish—pastoral, evangelistic, social, and ecumenical. Revd. Azita Jabbari was licensed as Team Vicar on 24th May 2025. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the church building and church hall of St Francis of Assisi, Terriers, High Wycombe. 

## **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 community at St Francis of Assisi. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music, and sacrament. 

When planning our activities for the year, the incumbent and the PCC have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through: 

- ∑ Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge of and trust in Jesus Christ. 

- ∑ Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish. 

- ∑ Missionary and outreach work. 

- ∑ Support for organisations locally, nationally, and internationally whose aims reflect ours. 

To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church of St Francis and of the Church Hall. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

It has been a deeply meaningful and grace-filled year, marking my first year serving among you. It has been a great joy and privilege to journey together, and I am sincerely grateful for the warmth, kindness, and support I have received. 

At the heart of our life together is our shared mission: to reach out to our community, particularly families and young people, and to share the love and light of God. We seek to embody this vision as _a Beacon of Hope, a Community of Love, and a Well of Refreshment_ . It is encouraging to see this calling being lived out in practical and visible ways across the life of our church. 

Our worship remains central to all that we do, grounding us in prayer and shaping us as disciples. We continue to gather for our regular Sunday services at 8.00am (Holy Communion) and 10.00am (Parish Eucharist), as well as for midweek Holy Communion on Wednesdays at 10.30am. The Parish Eucharist and some other services are livestreamed and available afterwards on Facebook. 

We thank the clergy who maintained services during the last few months of the vacancy - Revd. Ian Fishwick, Revd Susan Gill, Revd. Tim Harper, Revd. Hilary Jones and Revd. Peter Wyard. 

Over the past year, we have shared in both joy and sorrow as a church family. We celebrated two weddings, giving thanks for love and commitment, and we welcomed three baptisms, rejoicing in 

_Page 2_ 



new life in Christ and the growth of our church family. We also commended two of our dear parishioners into God’s eternal care, holding their families in our prayers. 

It has been deeply encouraging to welcome new families into the life of the church, and a real joy to see our community growing. Our Little Nest toddler group continues to be a warm and hospitable space, offering support, friendship, and a sense of belonging to families in our area. Alongside this, events such as the Light Party, the Christingle and Crib Service, and our seasonal charity fairs at Christmas, in May, and our coffee mornings during Lent have enabled us to engage meaningfully with our wider community and to share God’s love in tangible ways. 

We have also continued to strengthen our relationships with local schools, which remain an important part of our outreach and presence in the community. In 2025 our Lent project supported the Florence Nightingale Hospice and in 2026 we are supporting the Wycombe Refugee Partnership and the Wycombe Rent Deposit Guarantee Scheme, reflecting our commitment to care for those in need. 

This year has also included opportunities for growth and development. Five of us from the church leadership team attended the Leading Your Church into Growth conference in October and this has helped equip and encourage us in our desire to welcome more children and young families. I also had the privilege of participating in the Launchpad programme, which supports churches in thinking strategically and prayerfully about establishing and developing youth ministry. These experiences are helping to shape our vision for the future. 

We launched a new church website in October, developed for us by WebFX. This is linked to new Church Suite software which will help us to manage the administration of the church more effectively. We have also been blessed with a new church sign, which has enhanced our visibility and welcome within the community. Our Pet Blessing Service was another joyful occasion, drawing people together in a relaxed and accessible way. 

We also give thanks for the renewed Lady Chapel to be completed in 2026. The new altar will enhance the space, creating a place of beauty, stillness, and prayer for all who enter. 

Our relationship with All Saints continues to grow, and it has been a blessing to begin a monthly Prayer and Praise gathering on the first Tuesday of each month. In 2026 we plan to journey together in Lent through the diocesan _Come and See_ course, offering a valuable opportunity for reflection, learning, and spiritual growth. 

It has been a joy and a privilege to serve among you. I give thanks for each one of you and for the many ways you contribute to the life of our church. I am deeply grateful for the love, faithfulness, and generosity I see among you. I also want to express my heartfelt thanks to All Saints for their generous financial and pastoral support, which has been a great blessing to us. I look forward with hope and confidence to all that God is calling us into, as we continue to grow together as a church family.

## **Reports from our groups and ministries** 

## _**Safeguarding**_ 

Safeguarding is a standing agenda item at each PCC meeting, and we are working in line with the Church of England Safeguarding Policy and Practice guidance. PCC members and volunteer helpers associated with the various church activities which might include children or vulnerable people undertake online safeguarding training. Safeguarding continues to be a strong focus, and we are grateful for the many volunteers who undertake training. Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) 

_Page 3_ 



checks have been done where required for clergy and those in leadership roles involving close contact with children and vulnerable adults. Following diocesan advice we will be switching to a new DBS check provider, Verifile, in 2026. Safeguarding records are maintained in hard copy in either a locked filing cabinet or safe, and details of safeguarding contacts are displayed on noticeboards and other locations around the church and hall. The PCC is working positively towards fulfilling its responsibilities to protect children, young people and vulnerable adults involved in the Church’s activities. 

## _**School Assemblies**_ 

We have recently begun building a positive relationship with Highworth School and have started attending and contributing to school assemblies. This has been a valuable opportunity to connect with the school community and share in their life. We look forward to strengthening this relationship further in the coming year and continuing to support the school in meaningful ways. 

## _**Lighthouse Holiday Club**_ 

We are planning to take part in the Lighthouse Holiday Club from 10th–14th August 2026, in partnership with Holy Trinity, Hazlemere. We will be supporting the provision for younger children, including toddlers and four-year-olds. As I have been invited to serve as a trustee of Lighthouse, this offers a valuable opportunity for us to engage more closely with this ministry. We hope and pray that this will enable us to reach out to more families in our community, building relationships and sharing God’s love in a welcoming and accessible way. 

## _**Little Nest, toddler group**_ 

Little nest toddler group was started in September. This is a welcoming group where young children and their parents or carers can come together to play, learn and socialise.  It provides a safe and friendly environment for children to explore different activities while helping families connect with others in the community. It is run by a willing team of helpers once a week during term time and is donation only. Although Little Nest is Christian based, we welcome families from other faiths. The children enjoy a simple story from the bible, songs and a prayer at the end of the session. Since starting, two children from this group have come forward for baptism in the church, which we find very rewarding. 

## _**Ecumenical and Inter - Faith Relationships**_ 

The church is an active member of Churches Together in East Wycombe (CTEW), Churches Together in Buckinghamshire, and Wycombe Sharing of Faiths. We are also involved in the training of curates within the Oxford Diocese, supporting and contributing to their formation, particularly in the area of interfaith engagement. In addition, we work in partnership with the University Chaplain at Bucks New University, alongside All Saints, strengthening our connections with the wider community. 

## _**Choir**_ 

The members of St Francis Choir sing at the 10:00 service throughout the year, apart from the month of August. They also sing for other special services – in particular the carol service where the regulars are supplemented by other singers. We thank our Director of Music Tessa for all her hard work. 

## _**Walkers Unite(d)**_ 

Despite some very inclement weather this past year, up to 19 people have joined us to walk through the beautiful Buckinghamshire countryside on the first Saturday of each month apart from December and January, and September, when we take part in the Bucks Historic Churches walk. Thanks to Eleanor who takes responsibility for all the paperwork involved for this walk and 

_Page 4_ 



to the generosity of the congregation who sponsored us for the grand sum of £325, of which half was returned to St Francis. Our thanks go to Colin for leading the walks and finding the pubs where we enjoy a sociable lunch together afterwards. Mike and Hazel once again organised a very enjoyable Christmas lunch for us at the Potters Arms. All are welcome to join us to walk or just to come along for a sociable lunch. 

## _**Knit and Natter**_ 

Well what an exciting year we have had! Still carrying on with a good Natter on Wednesday mornings and sometimes more Nattering than Knitting. Laughter, supporting each other in good times and sad times is as important as doing a craft in a sociable setting. In mid-May we welcomed our new Vicar Azita to join and get to know all of us including the ladies who don’t attend the church. We have also helped ladies to learn knitting and crocheting. Our knitting includes Little Sheep for the gift bags given to every baptism family, and hearts for Harefield hospital, to be given to patients and their families. We also featured these in our entry to the All Saints Christmas Tree festival and we were delighted that our tree was voted the best dressed tree. 

## _**The Children**_ **’** _**s Society**_ 

Carol Singing with three local primary schools continues to delight us and shoppers in the Eden centre. A magnificent total of £699 was raised last Christmas. Thanks to our collectors and the schools for time given. The Christingle, service combined with the Crib Service on Christmas Eve, proved to be a joyful occasion. Attendance was 87, and £211 was raised. Some families came through our Little Nest toddler group, while others joined us following our invitation to the community at the Light Party. 

## _**Flowers**_ 

Our great flower team of eight is small but dedicated to creating arrangements for all to enjoy, financed by each individual. Hazel Noakes launched ‘Flower Fun’ in July last year in response to requests from our local day Hospice patients who had enjoyed the sessions she ran weekly there. We meet once a month for a happy time “messing about” with flowers, taking home our creations. 

## _**Deanery Synod**_ 

We were delighted to welcome Deanery Synod to St Francis in July. This meeting officially welcomed Bishop Dave Bull in his new role, and our Vicar Rev Azita spoke to Synod for the first time. The October meeting launched the new Deanery Plan and Parish Share figures. The December meeting was an open meeting for all PCC members to engage with the Deanery Plan and discuss how it might apply in our individual Churches. 

## _**Fundraising and Social Events**_ 

Our May and Advent Fayres were well attended and successful. Social events have included a summer BBQ, and our first Light Party in November.  Sarah Howse held two wreath making sessions in December which raised funds for the Church. Our Quiz nights for Harvest and Lent have supported our charitable causes. New ideas for further fundraising are being explored. 

## _**Hall**_ 

The church hall hosts activities which provide friendship, support, and wellbeing for a wide range of people in the community from different ages, backgrounds and faiths. Regular bookings from community groups include Baby College, Sense of Balance, Pilates and Yoga; Taijutsu, keep fit, the Wycombe Friendship Group, the Little Nest toddler group and Knit and Natter. The hall is a popular venue for many parties and other family celebrations. A new online booking system is working well. 

_Page 5_ 



Plans to upgrade the hall heating with a new efficient boiler and remote control were agreed in the autumn and the work took place in the first week of 2026. We have also been exploring options to upgrade the kitchen, the entrance hall and main hall. Grant funding will then be sought as this will involve substantial expenditure. The hall dividers have been found to be in good condition and do not need replacement. We are having discussions with Buckinghamshire Council about “warm space” grants. 

A large and potentially dangerous dead tree in has resulted in the closure of the hall garden, but we hope this will be felled in early 2026, so that the garden can be reopened, and used by our Little Nest toddlers and other hall users. 

## _**Pastoral Support Team**_ 

The home communion team has continued to take the sacrament to regular worshippers who are no longer able to attend church and who have expressed a wish to receive communion in their homes. This enables them to remain connected, to participate in the life of the church, and to join with us in prayer as part of our wider church family. 

Alongside this, the pastoral team continues to offer loving support through home visits, phone calls, and prayer, as well as providing lifts for those who wish to attend church but need help with transport. In these simple but meaningful ways, we seek to ensure that each person feels remembered, valued, and held within the care of our church family. This quiet ministry of presence is a precious expression of our shared love and commitment to one another. 

## _**Community Garden**_ 

In August, we were supported by a team of eight volunteers organised by Paula from Grow Together Bucks. They repainted our shed and assisted with some heavier tasks, for which we are very grateful. On St Francis Day the weather was favourable, allowing us to use the garden as part of the Pet Service, where we welcomed 14 dogs, one cat, and their owners. The garden team continues to be small, with Valerie, Jane, and Pauline attending regularly. We are also pleased to have occasional help from Les. We would warmly welcome any additional volunteers, particularly on days when the weather is good. If you have any spare gardening equipment or tools, these would be greatly appreciated. We are usually in the garden on Thursdays and Saturdays from 10.00am to 1.00pm, weather permitting, and would be delighted to welcome anyone who would like to join us. 

## _**The Church Building and Grounds**_ 

Rainwater leaks in the tower area have continued to be a challenge - water staining is evident the inside face of the plasterwork. Initial repair works took place in 2024, and additional work required to repair defective flashings is scheduled as soon as possible. In the longer term, our architect Tony Mealing has recommended the installation of a waterproof membrane above the timber false ceiling to allow water to be drained through the external wall. This will be expensive and fund raising will be needed. 

We have reviewed and updated plans to install new toilets, a kitchen and a level entrance in the church, and aim to agree a revised budget and begin fundraising in 2026 for this important project. We have only a small team carrying out grounds maintenance and are therefore on the lookout for volunteers who will be willing to help. Any offers will be most welcome. 

## _**Financial Review**_ 

Our main source of income has remained voluntary giving with £28,895 from Stewardship, £3,097 from collections and £7,207 from tax refunds on both Stewardship and collections under the Gift Aid scheme. We also received £19,318 from the mobile phone base station installation in our bell 

_Page 6_ 



tower. We have had to agree to a reduced future annual rental of £5,000 per year, so the total is made up of the final payment of £13,500 under our previous agreement, together with a one-off payment of £3,000 and pro-rata rental payments of £2,818. We received dividends from two investments: £1,300 from the H F Field Trust and £2,398 from the St Andrews Trust. By the end of the year, our Church Development Fund had reached £8,122. We received a generous grant of £5,000 from our new Vicar’s previous church at Denham for a Church Growth Fund, £2,250 support from the diocesan development fund and £3,000 from Wycombe Deanery Mission Fund towards our ministry to children and young people, and a bequest of £3,000 from the estate of Len Gregory. Our income from the rental of our church hall to local groups has increased to £12,832. Our congregation also donated and raised funds totalling £1,058 (including Gift Aid) for a Harvest Community Fund to support families and individuals in need of emergency food supplies and essential items, and £1,972 for other charities. 

Our outgoings were £99,283, to provide the Christian ministry from St Francis of Assisi within Terriers. Our parish share contribution to Diocesan funds, which, as well as paying the administrative costs of the Diocese, provides the stipends and housing for the clergy, was £34,739. As of 31 December 2025, we had net assets totalling £220,469 of which £127,814 were endowment investments and £36,488 restricted funds, leaving £11,205 unrestricted funds, and £44,960 designated for special church needs. Next year, 2026, will be challenging financially, with a reduction in telecom rental income of £8,500 and an increase in our parish share of £4,000. We thank our church treasurer Jane Paine (and Andrew Paine). 

## _**Volunteers**_ 

We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church a safe and welcoming community; in particular, our churchwardens, Lakshan Wanigasooriya and Peter Gee. We also value the role of the other members of the Parochial Church Council who have faithfully served with humour and vision, and we wish to acknowledge the continued commitment of Lyn Gooch LLM, Tessa Shaw, Mary Amer, our Parish Co-ordinator, Sally Brocklehurst, our PCC Secretary,  Mick Relf, for his work on our buildings, and our sacristan Mary Phipps; musicians, readers, intercessors, servers, sides people and those who provide hospitality after services and on special occasions during the year, whose gifts, creativity and generosity enhance the life of the church. We are thankful for all who have continued to keep the church grounds tidy on a regular basis, to Sarah Wanigasooriya for her service as safeguarding officer and to Revd Hilary Jones for later taking on that role. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St Francis of Assisi, the PCC comprises the Vicar, churchwardens, elected members from the Electoral Roll, and co-opted members. All members of the congregation are encouraged to join the Electoral Roll and consider standing for election. The PCC is responsible for matters of general concern within the parish, including the stewardship of its finances. The PCC met eight times during the year. To support its work, some matters are considered in smaller groups, which report back regularly to the PCC. A Standing Committee also meets between PCC meetings to address urgent matters and support the ongoing work of the PCC

**Independent Examiner’s report** 

## **Accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2025** 

## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the examiner** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts and they consider that an audit is not required for the year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: 

Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 

to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and 

to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of the Independent Examiner’s statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with these records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required for an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In connection with my examination, no material matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

Accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, or the accounts do not accord with the accounting records 

I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 

Date: 27[th] March 2026

## **St Francis of Assisi, Terriers,High Wycombe Notes to the Accounts 31 December 2025** 

## **Accounting Policies** 

The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations' "true and fair view" provisions. They have also been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. The financial statements have been prepared on the accruals basis. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members. There may be minor discrepancies in the totals as the pence are not being shown. 

## **Cashflow Statement** 

The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS102 from the requirement to produce a Cash flow statement on the grounds that the income does not exceed £500,000. 

## **FUNDS** 

## **Unrestricted Funds** 

These represent the remaining income funds of the PCC that are available for spending on the general purposes of the PCC, including amounts designated by the PCC for fixed assets for its own use or for spending on a future project and which are there for not included in its ‘free reserves’ as disclosed in the trustees’ report. 

## **Restricted Funds** 

These are income funds that must be spent on restricted purposes and details of the funds held and restrictions provided are shown in the notes to the accounts. 

## **Endowment Funds** 

These are restricted funds which must be retained as trust capital either permanently or subject to a discretionary power to spend capital as income, and where the use of any income or other benefit derived from the capital may be restricted or unrestricted. Full details of all of their restrictions are shown in the notes to the accounts. 

_Page 12_ 



## **Fixed Assets** 

Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts by s.10(2)(a)&(C) of the Charities Act 2011. Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the Church’s inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity - these are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £1,000. They are valued at cost or else, for gifts-in-kind, at a reasonable estimate of their open market valuation on receipt. Depreciation is calculated to write off the capitalised cost of fixed assets less their currently anticipated residual fair value over their estimated useful lives as follows: Land Nil; Fixtures & Fittings 7 years; other equipment 3 years. 

## **Purpose of Funds Frances Field Bequest** 

The capital belonging to this fund is held by the Oxford Diocesan Board of Finance, as custodian trustee. The capital must be retained as a perpetual endowment, but the annual income is paid direct to the church for use in accordance with the terms of Mrs Henrietta Frances Field's will 'for the payment of insurance of the buildings and towards the salary of a caretaker and the cleaning of the said church'. **St. Andrew's Fund** 

The capital of this fund is a perpetual endowment arising from the sale of St. Andrew's Church, The income from these funds is to be used for furthering the religious and other charitable work of the Church of England in the ecclesiastical parish of St. Francis, Terriers. This has been set aside in a Central Board of Finance deposit account and is a designated fund to be used at the discretion of the PCC. **Hugh Brocklehurst Fund** This is a restricted memorial fund set up in the name of Hugh Brocklehurst to maintain and to develop the musical life of the church with special concern for the organ. **The Choir Fund** is restricted to supporting the church choir. 

**The Harvest Community Fund** is a Restricted Fund to be used to support families and individuals who are in need of emergency food supplies and essential items. **The Community Garden Project Fund** is a Restricted Fund to support the community garden. **The Knit and Natter Fund** is restricted to supporting the Knit and Natter group. **The Children and Young People Fund** is designated for work with children and young people. **The Church Development Fund** is designated for funds raised for development of the church building. **The Church Growth Fund** is designated for supporting mission, evangelism or outreach that will contribute to church growth. **The Church Heating Fund** was designated for funds raised to replace the church heating system. This work has now been completed and the Fund now represents the remaining depreciated value of the fixed asset. 

The **Joyce Dowsett** , **Paul Beniston** and **Jean Smith** Bequests are funds designated by the PCC, primarily for the improvement of catering and toilet facilities in the church. **The Len Gregory Bequest** is designated for the improvement of the Lady Chapel and for a Sunday School. The **Spirituality Resource Fund** is designated for supporting the development of spirituality resources.
