2024 Trustees Annual Report for the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of All Saints Harrow Weald
Aim and Purposes
The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of All Saints Harrow Weald (PCC) had the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Reverend Dr John Barker, until 8 September 2024, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. PCC members also act as Trustees of the Blackwell Hall charity.
Since the departure of the incumbent, the PCC has assumed full responsibility.
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 All Saints. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, and particularly the supplementary 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 and trust in Jesus.
-
Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish.
-
Missionary and outreach work.
To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of All Saints Church and Blackwell Hall.
Achievements and Performance
Worship and Prayer
The PCC is committed to offering a range of services during the week and over the course of the year that our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. For example, formal worship provides a reflective environment for worship whilst opportunities are provided for people to engage in more informal fellowship and outreach such as that provided by a range of social events and weekday clubs such as the Tuesday Craft Group.
Throughout 2024, we conducted regular public worship as well as offering informal fellowship and outreach activities throughout the year. Most services were live streamed, using either Facebook or Zoom. Services were recorded and can be viewed at any time on YouTube. Throughout 2024, there was a total of 132 acts of worship, of which the majority were public worship in All Saints. Significant numbers of people viewed recordings of the services from their homes; we have in our congregation a number of people living not only all over England but also around the world. Some assist worship by reading lessons and leading intercessions.
In 2024 we were delighted to welcome several new members to our congregation. At the end of 2024 there were 84 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll, 36 of whom were not resident within the parish. Seven names were added during the year and five were removed. The average weekly attendance in church, rose from 47 in 2023 to 51 in 2024, but this figure does not include people following services online.

In addition to our regular services, we enabled our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through baptism we thank God for the gift of life, in marriage public vows are exchanged with God’s blessing and through funeral services friends and family express their grief and give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and to commend the person into God's keeping. In 2024, we have celebrated 8 baptisms and led 7 funerals in our church and at the crematorium. We have also had 8 services including interment of ashes.
Deanery Synod
Two members of the PCC sit on the deanery synod. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church.
The Church Centre Complex
We want our church to be open to our community for private prayer. During the week the Blackwell Hall is used regularly by the All Saints’ Pre School. Seventeen children have been regular attenders in the last year, up five from the previous year. Outreach activities for children and their families is greatly enhanced by the activities of a Forest School adjacent to the church. The Forest School activities are integrated with those of the church and Messy Mossy Church activities are periodically.
A major challenge during 2023 was to undertake urgent and necessary works identified in our 2022 Quinquennial Report. These include repairs to the church and church office roof, stained glass windows, and stone works. We were able to benefit from a Diocese buildings grant to the value of £50,000 and all works were be completed by May 2024. At the same time, the PCC has been working hard to secure finance and develop plans to implement the long planned ASSH (All Saints Serving Harrow) project. This will include replacing the passageway linking the church and its annexe, introducing step free access and providing disabled toilet facilities. We also aim to improve our kitchen facilities and make an informal meeting area in church. We are in the process of submitting applications for planning permission to Harrow Council and Faculty approval to the Diocese of London for the replacement of the passageway linking the church to the office bock.
Pastoral Care
Some members of our parish are unable to attend church due to sickness or age. The Vicar and the pastoral support team visit all church members who request it, to celebrate communion with them either at their homes or in hospital. We have a regular pattern of visits and eucharistic services at several care homes located in the parish.
Mission and Evangelism
Helping those in need is a demonstration of our faith. We seek to respond to urgent needs for assistance, both local and international. Our parish newsletter is distributed weekly to parishioners. The newsletter keeps our parishioners informed of the important matters affecting our Church and articles that help develop our knowledge and trust in Jesus.
Ecumenical Relationships
The church is a member of Churches Together in the Weald. We share our church facilities with the Sinai Mar Thoma Church and organise joint services and activities, particularly at major festivals. We also participate enthusiastically in the annual ecumenical Good Friday Pilgrimage and Worship.

Financial Review
Total receipts of unrestricted funds in 2024 were £106,171 of which £84,607 was unrestricted voluntary donations. Restricted donations of £52,247 were also received and are detailed in the Financial Statements.
The net result for the year was a deficit of receipts against payments of £27,343 on unrestricted funds. Adding bank and deposit balances brought forward at the beginning of the year, the deficit carried forward at 31st December on unrestricted funds totalled £2,536. An additional £134,083 is set aside, £149,815 of which is designated to meet the costs of a planned investment in church fabric (the ASSSH project). There is a further £21,733 held as a project fund, the result of a gift to facilitate the purchase of a new church organ.
It is our policy to invest our fund balances with HSBC and the CAF Bank.
Volunteers
We would like to thank all the volunteers who have worked so hard during the interregnum to make our church the lively and vibrant community it is.
Structure, Governance and Management
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At All Saints, the membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent (our vicar), churchwardens, the assistant priest (if any) and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our services/members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election 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 PCC are to be spent. The full PCC met six times during the year. In person meetings were augmented, as required, by occasional decision making following electronic correspondence. Given its wide responsibilities, the PCC has a few sub-groups each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Parochial Church Council of All Saints, Harrow Weald
For the year ended 31 December 2024
I report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 1 to 7.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As members of the PCC, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. You consider that an audit is not required for this year under Regulation 3(3) of the Church Accounting Regulations 1997 to 2001 (the Regulations) and section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act and Regulation 3(3);
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission and guidelines from the Finance Division of the Archbishop’s Council. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in 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

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Parochial Church Council of All Saints, Harrow Weald
For the year ended 31 December 2024
I report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 1 to 7.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As members of the PCC, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. You consider that an audit is not required for this year under Regulation 3(3) of the Church Accounting Regulations 1997 to 2001 (the Regulations) and section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act and Regulation 3(3);
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission and guidelines from the Finance Division of the Archbishop’s Council. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in 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 matter has come to my attention:
-
1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to:
-
Keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act, the Regulations and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or
2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
