The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of
England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure
registered with the Charity Commission.
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church
Representation Rules. At St Bamabas, the membership of the PCC consists of an
elected Deanery Synod member. and members elected by those members of the
congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our
serlices / members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the
Electoral Roll and stand for elertion to the PCC.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general
concern and importance to the parish. including deciding on how the funds of the
Annual kptsrt ￿24

PCC are to be spent. New members a￿ offered and actively encouraged to
undertake initial training into the workings of the PCC provided by the diocese. Since our
entitlement is for 9 elected members, we have 2 vacancies for elected members. There
are no churchwardens or Safeguarding Officer.
The full PCC met 11 times throughout the year, including a meeting with the Archdeacon
to discus5 the vacancy. The average level of attendance was 64%. Although 4 new
members were elected at APCM, not all remained through to the end of the year,
although another was elected in November. At the end of the year PCC consisted of 7
members and the Deanery Synod Rep.
Aim AKd pxrposts
St Barnabas, Parochial Church Council (PCC) had the responsibility of co-operating with
the incumbent, the Reverend Edmund Cargill Thompson until November 2024. in
promotin& in the ecclesiastical parish. the whole mission of the Church, pastoral,
evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The parish is now in vacancy with Revd Patty Linders
covering most services with assistance of visiting priests.
The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the Church complex of St
Barnabas, Raglan Way, Northok. which includes a residential property in Vernon Rise,
Greenford.
Dbjeotives actbrfbtis
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 Barnabas. Our services and worship
put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. Pastoral care
is provided to both our existing congregation and those in need in the local community.
We reach in mission and evangelism to serve and to share the Christian faith with those
around us. We maintain the fabric of the Church of St Barnabas and the Church
complex. including the Vernon Rise property to provide the accommodation and
resources for our mission and outreach.
AohbcvcwvQs perfoYwvL
Worship and prayer
Our Sunday services were led by both the Reverend Edmund Cargill Thompson {"Father
'Mund") and the Reverend Patty Linders l-mother Pattf ). We welcomed interesting
visiting preachers (and in some cases celebrants).
An average of 35 adults and 8 children usually attend the Sunday mass with greater
numbers for particular festivals and celebrations.
Easter services were well attended by 73 adults and 23 children with a total of 73
communicants.
In December, 25 adults and 2 children attended the Christmas Carol Service. 64 adults
and 16 children attended Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services, of whom 59
Anntyal Finan￿ Rewr2024

were communicants. The Christmas Eve service commencing at 10pm seems to be
popular attracting more visiting families.
During 2024, there was 3 Baptisms. The clergy of St Barnabas officiated at 5
funerals all of which were held in church. No weddings occurred this year.
Church membershlp
The year ended with 76 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll.
We sadly lost two mernbers last year; our beloved sister Gladys Fyneface and
brother Robert Clarke: both had been unwell and unable to attend church in latter
times and will be sadly missed by many.
Orlyn Jackman and husband Irvine relocated to Barbados and Eileen Seale at the
grand age of 102 reluctantly moved into a care home near her daughter.
Pastoral care
Some members of our parish are unable to attend church due to sickness or age.
These receive a mix home communions and telephone services from our clergy.
Care for church members who are going through specific personal difficult
situations is provided by our clergy.
A WhatsApp Group offers a two-way channel of communication from notices to
personal thanksgivings and prayer requests.
The Barney Group (see below) led by Yvonne Bailie, Margaret Cobley and Jane
Nicholls offers mutual support and care for our over 55s.
Children's Work
Funmi Hinimikaiye has been leading Sunday School once a month. assisted by Sadie
Khan and Jessica Richards until she left later in the year. All our children's leaders and
assistants are DBS ctrEd(ed.
Safeguardlng
Jessica Richards had been elected Parish Safeguarding Officer at the beginning of
the year but regretfully left later in the year. Jessica worked hard on all aspects of
safeguarding to ensure everything was up to date. training sessions completed.
We now look for someone to take on this role, which includes ensuring our
Safeguarding Policy Statement is updated and displayed. Jane Cox is our
Children's Champion, Mother Patty Linders is our Elders champion. The PCC
complies with the duty under Section 5 or the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline

Measure 2016. in relation to having due regard to House of Bishops, guidance on
safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.
The Church Centre Complex
The church is occasionally open for prayer and our Garden of Rest is accessible by
arrangement.
Ealing Foodbank operate on a Tuesday from the hall and is well used. Some
church members volunteer. Various community groups meet during the week in
the church hall including Stay Active 4 Life helping people with their mobility.
Children's parties at the weekend continue to be popular, and the Church of God
meets Sunday lunchtimes.
The Barney Fellowship Group aimed at the over 55s. meets once a month and
have enjoyed outings including lunch at Ruislip Lido. and Christmas lunch at the
Harvester .
Due to reorganisation, we no longer receive help from the Community Payback
Team, so volunteers keep the grounds tidy. Work has begun to revamp the
Garden of Rest. Trees have been pruned and overgrown bushes removed and
with plans for new planting the area should be much improved and inviting.
Our Building fund holds £5000 for security work
Mission and evangelism
Christmas events were advertised on our website and through social media and
through the distribution of Church Christmas Cards to local schools and around
some of the local streets.
Helping those in need is a demonstration of our faith. We were able to send £165
from our Lent Appeal to the Ealing Soup Kitchen, and from the Harvest service
£380 to ALMA for our twinned parish in Chigoma, Mozambique for their water
well appeal. At Christmas our collertions supported Ealing Winter Night Shelter
£612. These totals include gift aid where applicable.
Ecumenical relationships
The church is a member of the Soul in Northolt and Greenford group (SING). The
main joint activity is the Good Friday Walk of Witness to Northala Fields.
Deanery Synod
The Deanery Synod provides the PCC with an important link between the parish
and the wider structures of the church. During the year, we have one elected
member, who is also the Deanery Synod Treasurer.

We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church a welcoming
community. Bein8 a volunteer is part of what It means to be.the Body of Christr (I Corinthians

However, the burden continues to be great; lacking Churchwardens has put tons•derablÈ stress
