PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF
SAINT ANDREW'S CHURCH, RUGBY
REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31" DECEMBER 2025

Review of the Year
I like to think of St Andre￿5 as a gloriou5 opening at the centre of Rugby. A non-utilitarian space, visible, open
and accessible to all; a place that, precisely because ivs not trying to sell anything, can help people see our
town afresh; a place, that, like a lake in the mountains. can refiect and reveal everything around it in new and
unexperted ways.
Okay. l admit this is a bit of a flight o* fancy. Hard-nosed realtty has to come in. Like any human institution, we
have bills and salaries to pay (including mine!). so this building has to pay tts wayond justify its existence. But
we must never lose sight of the gratuttOU5 glory of this and 50 many other grèat church building5: far bigger and
more beautiful than they need be, they point to the mystery of God, who is bigger and more beautiful still.
So perhaps our task a5 Stewards of this great building is chiefft to keep it aswell and as well-known as we can:
its threshold smooth artd its doors open, ready for our fellows citszens whenever they need it:
Enla

The year of Our Lord 2025 saw St AndreW5 continuing to flourish as a community of worship.

Sadly. the year saw the deaths of a number of fatthful and long-standing members of our congregation,

worshipj music-making and community actsvity that It already is. Funding Vfas received
from Rugby Borough Council to enable a point cloud survey of the building- a detsiled
eleccronic visuali5ation of the building vvill proNllde a really helpful basis for all our future
plans. Followinz on from this. we were delightsd to Secure a grdnt of just over £290.000 to
support the cleanin& renovation and floodlighting of the Church Street frontage. funded out of
Rugby Borough Council's town centre regeneration budger- works are expected to begin in
May 2026. In tandem with this, work conunued on consulrarions for the replacement or
refurbishment of our pipe organ wlth four organ builders invited to Vi51t and submit plan5.

A generous unrestricted legacy was received from the late Michael Griffin; and the full cost of
the refurbishment of our historic gold altar frontal, one of the glories of our church, was
covered by another legacy in memory of the late Stewart and Pat Smith and Brian and
Margaret Newey.
During the course of tlie year, the PCC carefully reviewed its pattern of meecings and after
Easter adopted a new model of six longer meeting5 on Sunday afternoons. rather than the
previous model of ten meetings on Wednesday evenings. Meetings now begin with a shared
meal in the church cafe and then run from Ipm to around 3.30pm, allowing more Scope for
extended debace of major issues. At the same time, the committee structure was reviewed
and strengchened, and the majority of the Pcc's regular business is now conducted in Six key
committees: Buildings, Children's and Families, Finance, Fundraising, Mission and Technical.
This experiment has generLlly been considered a succe55 and it is likely that the new pattern
will continue.
During the year the PCC formulated 2 simplified version of its vision: Open - Inclusive -
Involved. It features on the front cover of this report
Clearly. confines of space mean that Dot every event. achievement or person can be mentioned, but
each contribution made to our common life is valued highly by u5 all. The PCC would also like to take
this opportunity to thank all those individua15 and organisations who have generou51y supported
various aspects of our ministry and mission financially over this year.
The Revd Canon Edmund Newey, Rector

Aims and Purposes

promoting in the ecclesiastical parish. the whole mission of the Church. p35toral, eYangelistiG Soctal and
ecumenical. The Covenrry Diocesan M￿S1on prioritie5 art vmrshiP#*ing God. making new dlsciples
and transforniinz communitie&
The five An￿¢an ma￿$ of mission are".
To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom

Objective5 and Activities
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to encounter God the Holy Trinity
through a range of activities. events and services. The PCC maintain5 an overview of both the worship
of the church and its wider lif& 5uth as its arts and culturdl programme and its café.
When planning actiV￿leS for the year, the incumbent and the PCC has considered the Charity
Commission's guidance on public benefit and the specific guidance on charities for the adwdncement of
religion. St Andrev/s exists to Serve the people of the ecclesiastical parish in which we are se¢ providing
them with opportunities to:
learn about the Christian faÉth ond
develop a relationship vrith God through the sacrdmend. prayer and communiy life of the local
church
We also support people to live ouc their faith as part of our parish community through the additional
three Anglican marks of mission (see above 3-5}. This includes."
The provision of pastora] care for members of the congregation and those li￿ng in the pirish.
through home wsitin& home communions. h05PttsI visiting, baptisms. weddings and fune￿1$
Supporting charitable actiNllties and fundraising in the church
Providing opportunittes for those who are vulnerable, andlor viith addiiional support needs to
take part in meaningtul activity and gain work experience.
In Carr￿ng out all this work the PCC has complied with its dutie5 under Settion S of the Safeguarding
and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016. having regard to the safeguarding of children arKI vulnernble adults.
To facilitate this worl it is essential that we mwntain the fabric of the Church of St Andrews. Rugby.

Mlssion Hub
This year it has been thy delight to see the mission hub really thriving after a considerable tirne of
discernment and relat￿nshIp-bU1ldIng with other parishes both inside of Rugby deanery at)d in the
wid¢r diocese.
l am now activety working with I I Churches which includ& SL Andrew'5. Brownsover (Eden Park
estate). SL George's, Harborough Magna with Easenhall. Brinklow. Monks Kirby. Ryton, 5toneleigh.
Ashow, Bag"Inton. Bubbenhall and Leek Wooton.
With both the Revel ￿0UP and the Stoneleigh benefice we have developed outdoor Messy Churches
which are held once aimonth to engage children and families wtth the church. The numbers attending
both have remained (alr￿ small due to the wl*e population l)ut we have built bug houses. put up
outdoor remembrancè day disP￿y5 vthich the children have made and there is visible art work in all of
the churches demonstrating that the church is alNe and acttye in small village communities. 1£ is
encoura&Tng to see children listening to the bible stories they are told and participating in action songs
as they learn more abbuc God'5 love for them.
In addition to preachiTrg and presiding at SL Andrvw's. I have also led services at Ryton, V￿thin the
Storieleigh benefice (Stoneleigh, Ashow, B¥"ng￿n and Bubbenhall) or at Leek Wooton. due to
churches either being lin interregnum or there onty being one vicar for several Church's. It's
impo55ible to be at 4 different Church's on a Sunday morning at the same time!
One of the things that gave me great delight in the summer was wothng with the Diocesan Board of
Educatton on an initiative they broughi to fruiEion, to go in w I I Church of England primary schools
to do transition workkhops for year 6 children moving up to secondary school. The consisted
of myself, a worker from Ising Pop and Thrtve youth academy who are also involved in schoo15 work
In total we reached o&t to around 300 children Lo reassure them about their concerns in moving up
to senior school and teaching them that tt￿Y are not ￿One in this transition, that God goes with
them. All of the children were invited to an end of summer event which took place Lt Harris school
vthere they could socialise each other. have pizz4 play on the play stations wthin the thrive
youth bus they have. do karnoke and team games and just generally have fun.
This enabled them tojrealise they are not the onty ones facing thi5 imminent transition and share any
ongoing concems they had with others.
Rugby deanery is no￿ making plan5 for this year'5 transrtion workshops which will be held at a more
local level. We hope Ivicars will attend the schools they have responsibility With and put on a more
local end of school yar event in their different Churches to enable a smoother transition for young
people in to a youth group at their Ir)cat Churth.
As part of my trrining within the mission hub. I have been privileged this year co al￿nd a year long
national leaders course called 'Growing in larth, which equips people to develop 5trtte8ies to put
children and young people more centrally within the Church of England and en￿ge them with
Church. In addicion t'o the trrining being excellent {[ have learnt so much) it has becn really good to
engage with others across England vA)o are also trying to engage chikjren and young people and
learn from their good practice as well as sharing common frustrations and barriers to this vital work.
I have also received t
ining from Street Pastors to join their team a5 they reach out to those who
need help within the Rugby are& I now regularly go out with their school team co engage with
ehildren as they come out of Harris school with the hope of building relationships with them. Our
hope is that once thé Chaplain at Harris school is appointed we can 5UPPOrt them to develop the
Chrisuan union and Possibty start up a new worshipping community there.

Towards the end of September the Reverend Philip Morton (the vicar at SL George's) asked rf the
mission hub would support him in leading a new discipleship course called 'Roots of Faith,. It's a
course for new Christians to introduce them to faith. allow them time to ask any quesrions they have
in a safe environment and rf they are interested, prepare them for baptism andlor confirmation. This
course is held every other Tuesday evening and h3s had 6 participants attend in tottl. Thi5 course is
going well. one person was baptised and two others confimied on the I" December by Bishop Sophie,
with another per50n being bapused at Coventry Cathedral on Easter Sunday at their dawn servic
In September the Re¢d Diane Bussey wds licensed as associate minister at Brownsover with an
intention to have a pariicular focus on reaching our to the new housing estate called Eden Park
I have been supporung her in this work which at the moment is still in its infancy. One of the things
we have Successfully started is a weekly prayer morning every Wednesday at St Michael's and all
angels Church. This 15 attended by 6 people from Eden Park are all praying for the growth of the
Church and discernment as to which missional actsvity to undertake firsc One of the possibilities we
are exploring is developing prnyer spaces within Eden Park infrdnc school where the children can
engage creativety activities which TrMII tell them more about God in line with the school wdlues.
Aside from my wider work within the deaneryldiocese I have also supported work Outside of St
Andrews in our wider communiry such as services which the Uk￿nIan community asked us to hos
food fesuvals, the bike fe5tiYal. the lantern parad< tree festival and Christmas tree light switch on and
anything else that we think falls wtthin the remit of mission.
In December Hannah and I hosted a live nativrty at May Blossom farm vthich was realty well receNed
and attcnded by those who Hannah works all year. This induded children who are home
schooled and d)ose she works with who havc special needs. Meanwhile, Rosebud& the new women's
fellowship group, meeting at Satchmo'& has groyffi S￿dIly.
I continue to look forward to following where the spirit leads us in tern)s of our next missional
opportunity.

This year has been a busy and rwdrding one for the Choir. A wide rnnge of Anglican repertoire has
been sung. including Ireland's Greater Love and Stanford's MognifKtx and Nunc Dimitris in C. The choir
has also begun experimenting with a few more Mass settings. adding musical variety to the liturgy,
especialty for special seThices such 25 Maundy Thursday.

sense of mission in the year ahead.
The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols again very well supported. The Young Choristers played
a key role in the 5eNite and particularly enjoyed singing William Matthias's Sir Chilstemas. contributing
confidentty and enthusiastically to a joyful celebrntion.
At Easter. the services were also very well at￿nded, and we hope that the music provided a space for
reflecuon and contempkuon during Hoty Week For a second year, a series of organ pieces helped to
bring together the Good Friday lituru. and we are grateful for the thought and care that went into
seletting and perfonning this music by Phil Johnson.
The Young Chorister5 programme has continued to grt)w. and agreement has now been reached on a
new proposal designed to generate greater enthusiasm and susrained engagemenL Work 15 underway
13

Rachel Cliffe for all of ￿er work here that has An Organ Scholar ha5 also been appointed, providing
valuable musiol support and helping to underpin both chordl and organ provision.
During the year, the Song School has been redecorated, providing a more welcoming and practical
space for rehearsals ani d choir acuvities. We are very grateful to the Churchwardens for their work in
helping to make this irhprovement possible.

During 2025 the young choristers maintained a stable membership of 7 of whom 5 are regular
members of the Sunday morning choir at eucharist
The young choristers continue to meet on Wednesday aftemoons in church and ha¥e now expanded
to meeting on Thursday evenings before the main choir practice for the older member5 who then join
the main choir practice
We have been working to make sure that we are able to make an increasing musical contribution to
the Service and have also been working on singTng technique and basic theory. During the eucharist
service we have also been withdrnwing from church for a short while to work on the RSCM music
medals and last Eastery our oldest chorister- Rebecca- athieved her Red Ribbon and vfas privileged
to receive tt fonn BisHop Sophie when She visited.
At Chrtscmas we held,'a Come and Sing open to all children in Rugby to come and prattice the carols
that we were going tfl Sing at the Chrisungle service and to sing with the choris￿r$ during the service.
Despi￿ It bLyng very last minute we had l O children join us on the day and this is wmething that we
would like to try agaid with more planning in 2026.
The hope is that by encournging children to join us for a "one off. event some may want LO join us
more pernianendy.
The young choristers ieem to have gelled into a good social group despite the fact that there is quite
a large age drfference and we are very lucky that there are several members of the adulc choir who
have been very encournging to the young choristers - it realty helps with keeping them coming to
services.

Bell Rlnging
We have continued practices in the established pattern of 1° Monday in the Wert tower. others in
the NE tower durin8 the year. and have rung for the Sunday morning seNces.
We rang for a wedding blessin& for the interment of Phil Howitrfs ashes. and for the special events of
the 80° anniversaries of both VE day (8° May) and VJ day (15 August)-
The training bell installation was completed towards the end of February, and h3s seen some use. We
currently have 2 learners though, so for l)oth to learn at the same one uses a 'Dormal' Silenced
bell.
The tower clean day vns the day before Palm Sunday. thi5 time we focussed on the NE tower.
We had visitors from Groton School in the USA sraying k>¢21ty in mid_march: 8 of them were ringer5
(7 students plus one teacher. who we met kst year during his reconnaissance vi5i£)- They joined us for
a Monday evening prdctice and to ring for service the following Sunday morning. We welcomed other
visitors over the year. including a couple with a canal boaE a gentleman from Essex and another from
Ireland who has famity in the area.
We entered a call change band for the Coventry Diocesan guild Striking compeuuon at Snitterfield in
March. We were placed 5 out of the 6 teams in the call change section. This the first time in a
competition for Jane and everyone seemed to enjoy IL possib]y helped by the excellent refreshments!

The elettricians have replaced the sur lightsng and we now have sensor-actrvated lights on the
staircases in both towers. Extra lights have been added. which means we can ascend and descend
more safety, especially important when it's dark when we arrive as well as when we leave. It took 2
attempts to get the sensor positioning correct after the firsL tt was possible to descend the NE tower

Handbell practices ran through until April, and restarted in OC￿ber to practice Christmas carols. By

Technicol Services
Technical Services as ia group has concinued in its mission of being a church for the wider community
in 2025, with significant investments made both in tyme and financialty into the developments of
broadcast and production in the earty 2026 period.
We continue to suppbn production efforts across the tovm. namely at The BENN Hall. Rugby
Borough Council, and Rugby Art Gallery. We strive to support events further into 2026 and 2027.
expanding our outreach to other local organi52tions such as Wild and Free and Art At The Ale

Finoncial Review 2025
It is unfortunate that Il have to re-ttate a similar message to last year that the financial position is still
very troubling and is likety to continue so for some time.
' Costs aré largely beyond our corttrol though our biggest coso the Parish Shar@ has been re-
negotiated to a lower amounL bu( this can onty be a temporary measure as St Andrew's is commfcted
to playtng its full partl in the Deanery and Di¢xes
Beyond this we continue to minimise waste and unnecessary expenditure and strive to get the best
value from whatever We spend.
Unplanned maintenthce and repairs are 2 perennia] problem but a strategy is tiow in place to plan for
building maintenanceiand re-onlering over the nexc few years so that grants and donations may be put
in place before the rrtonex need be spenL It is the aim £0 minimise. or eliminaty using church money
on building maintenamce and developmenL
It is, again, hearcening to see how well the fdfe and communiry events arc doing and they contribute
greatly to the vi3biliy of St Andrev/5. It 15 intended to build on this success.
The Friends of Se An&rev/s Church is starring to Contribu￿ to 5pectfic projects within the church in
order to alleviate some of the cost burden. The intentton is to target fund raising to specific work
The Trustees are a mtx of St Andrews congre8ation and those outside of this church who hLve a
great belief in the mahy aspeccs of the building and the community it serves.
If you wish to beco
a member of the Friends of St Andrew's Church or if you know of anyone,
including businesses. who may wsh to support u4 please pick up a leaflet or see the Rector, a
Warden or existing Friend.
Again there have been significant legacies afvays tinged with 5adne55 of course. The PCC believes that
legacies, whenever pos5ibl< should be used for the growth and development of the church rather
than day to day spen
ing.
Finally I would encoL417ge everyone who is able and eligtble to move their regular g'ving to Paris Share
and ensure that theylGift Aid their donations wherever possibl&
The Parish Gtving scheme is funded by the Diocese and therefore free for the parish to use. It also
collects Git Aid ux ￿fundS fr¢)m HMRC on our behalf which reduces the work of our ofPice Staff.
If you wish to know more about any of the above then please or feel you can help financially or as a
volunteer. please ask the Reccor, Warden or any member of the PCC.

Reserves Policy
The Council consider that the reserves held at the end of the year were adequate for the church's
needs over the nexc rwelve months. Whilst the unrestricted fund is in defico there are adequate
fund5 held on deposit by designated flsnds to cover this Jnd provide sufficient working capital. The
majority of the restricted and endowment funds assets are also held on dep05t( which can be realised
at short notice.
At presen( as mentioned abo￿ the church still has a small deficir on unrestricted genernl fiJnd5. It 15
the intention of the PCC to moye to a situation where some unrestricted genernl funds can be held in
reserve to cover fijture expected general running costs with the rest of the funds held being either
designated or retr￿1Cted for spectfic purposes. The PCC aims to hold the equivalent of six month5
running costs (Current￿ £81000). which includes st3ffing cosrs. bearing in mind our resporbsibility as
employers.
Strurture. Govemance and Manogement
The Parochial Church Council of the Eccles￿1￿1 Parish of St Andrew Rugby was formed vA)en the
Rugby Team Ministry VA5 dissolved on 4th July 2013.
The method of apF>ointment of Parochial Church Council members 15 Set out in the Church
Representation Rules. At St Andrew's Church. the membership of the PCC consists of the incumben(
the churchwardens. Readers and other clergy (if COwOPted) and members of the congregation elected
from the electortl roll. All those who attend our sernces or who live in the parish are encouraged to
re&ster on the Elettornl Roll and vote for PCC members and Churchwardens.
PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance
to the part5h, including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spenr PCC members are atso
trustee5 of the charity. New members receive infonnation about their dutie5 as a charity trustee.
During the course of the year, the PCC carefully reviewed its pattern of meetings and, after Easter.
adopted a new model of six longer meeting5 on Sunday afternoons. rather than the previous model of
ten meetings on Wednesday evenings. The meetings begtn with a shared meal in the church cafe and
then run from I pm co around 3.30pm. allowing more scope for exonded debate of major issues. At
the same vme. the committee strutture was reviewed and strengthened, and the maiority of the
PCC'S regular bu5ine5s is now conducted in Six key committees.- Building& Children's and families,
Finance, Fundraisin& Mission and Technical. This experiment has generally been considered a 5UCC25S
and it is likety that the new pattem wtll continue.
Ensuring the Christian govemance of two church schools, St AndreY¥s Benn Primary School and
Harris Church of England Academy is an additional responsibility of the PCC. Wrth the Diocesan
Board of Education, the PCC appoints Foundation GoYernor5 to both Board5 and two members of
our congregation serve on each board of governors (Edmund Newey and Isabelle McKenzie at SAB
and James Sampson-Foster and Ltz Pichon at Harris), alon8side those whose appointrnents the PCC
endorses.
