Structure, Governance and Management
The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the
Parochial Church Council Powers Measure {1956) as amended, and Church Representation Rule5 that came into effect
on I, January 2020, as amended. Holy Trinity registered as a separate charity with the Charity Commission in July
2017, as its annual income was in excess of £lOO,000.
st
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules l January 2020. At Holy
Trinity the mernbership of the PCC consists of the Vicar, Curate, Church Warden5 and members elected by those
members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All members of the congregation are
encouraged and given opportunity to register on the electoral roll.
The trustees of the Charity are aware of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in The Advancement of
Religion for the Public Benefit and have had regard to it in their administration of the Charity. The trustees believe
that, by promoting the work of the Church of England in the Ecclesiastical Parish of Holy Trinity it helps to promote
the whole mission of the Church {pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenicall more effectively, within the
Ecclesiastical Parish, and that in doing so it provides a benefit to the public by:

Providing facilities for public worship, pastoral care and Spiritual, moral and intellectual development, both for its
members and for anyone who wishes to benefit from what the Church offers. and
Promoting Christian values and service by members of the Church in and to their communities, to the benefit of
individuals and society as a whole.
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. New members receive initial training into the workings
of the PCC.
The PCC met six times during the year and average attendance was good. During the year the PCC have continued to
keep regular oversight of all matters relating to finance, employment, health and safety, safeguarding, Holy Trinity
Primary Academy and issues relating to the church building and its contents.
The PCC appointed a Standing Committee comprising Vicar, Church Wardens, Treasurer and a PCC member, which
during 2024 was Judy Breese. A Strategy Group, consisting of the staff team and various PCC members and other
church members, met during the year to consider different areas of church life, and how they could be improved, each
time giving a full report back to the PCC.
A Human Resources sub-committee, chaired by a PCC member, has been established to oversee all aspects of the
PCC'S employment of staff. This sub-committee have reviewed the staff salaries, making recommendations to the PCC.
The PCC are grateful to this sub-committee ft)r all the work they have done.
The Standing Committee, on behalf of the PCC, have considered the area of Risk Management, and are satisfied that
the Trustees are not being exposed un-necessarily, and will keep this under review in the future.
The PCC re-appointed Jenna Middleton in May 2024 as safeguarding officer. The PCC are very grateful to her for all
the work that has been done in this area. DBS check5 continue to be made forth05e that need them. The PCC accepted
the Diocesan Safeguarding Policy. Issues that have arisen during the year have been dealt with.
Objectives and Artivities
The primary aim of the PCC is to promote the gospel and to uphold the doctrines of the Church of England.
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 Holy Trinity. 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, scripture, music and sacrament.
To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of Holy Trinity Church. The furnishings, furniture and
silverware are all in good order.
The PCC strives to ensure that activities are available for all ages, and achieves this through Sunday services and
children's groups. young people's groups; midweek ladies and home group Bible studies; midweek Bible study at
church; preacherfs workshops; mission prayer meetings. Sunday evening prayer meeting; courses for those exploring
the Christian faith; informal coffee & chat each month.
The PCC are grateful to the large number of church members who give their time on a voluntary basis to help run and
lead the various church groups and activities; who undertake prartical tasks to keep the church building and outside
areas clean, free of rubbish and functioning; and who help in a variety of ways to help Sunday morning seniices run
smoothly. In particular, the PCC are grateful to all those who clean the church on a regular basis.
Achievements and Performance
The main focus each week is the Sunday morning service at 10am-a Service of the Word and Holy Comtmunion. During
this seNice there is a group for children (aged 3-111, called Lighthouse and Mini Lighthouse for under 3s. Attendance
varied but there are usually around 144 people in total in attendance1114 adults and 30 children).

As well as our regular service, we enable our church and wider 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. There was I wedding
during 2024, 3 adult baptisms 3 young people were baptised and I child. During the year, there were 9 funeral services
in church; and 10 funeral services at a crematorium or cemetery.
Members of the wider community have joined with church members at the children's Holiday Club in February, when
over 100 children spent five days enjoying Champions, an Olympics themed holiday club, overseen by over 80
members of the congregation, adults and teenagers. At Christmas around 200 people joined together for Christmas
Cracker Christingle, where the Christma5 Story was explained and everyone enjoyed crafts, games and Christmas food.
During the year church members have had opportunities to study God's Word together in small groups or in one-to-
one meetings. There have been increasing opportunities on a Sunday for lay preachers and those who may see church
leadership as a future option, to gain some valuable experience and training.
The PCC were excited but sad to learn that James Weaver, curate, had accepted a new role at a church in Oxford, with
a view of establishing a new church plant there possibly in 2026. James, Abi and family left Oswestry in July 2024. The
PCC are enormou51y grateful to James for all that he has done during his time at Holy Trinity, for the new initiative5
that he had set up, for his diligent teaching and careful pastoral care. The PCC are also grateful to Abi for her support
of James, enabling him to serve the church family as effectively as he did. Church members gave generously towards
a parting gift for the Weaver family.
The PCC are enormously grateful to Mark Addison, Associate Minister (Youth and Families), for all the great work that
is done amongst the children and young people, and training those who help him, especially Susie Kinloch until August
2024, and since then Sam Hodgins. The PCC would also like to thank Rev Andy Cranston for all that he has done during
2024 to support, equip and encourage church members. Under And¢s leadership, anew bereavement ministry team
was set up to help support those who have been bereaved. In November, a Sunday afternoon service of remembrance
was held for those who had lost a loved one recently, and this was well received by all who attended.
During 2024 there was a weekend of teaching and encouragement relating to marriage, and a similar day focussing on
singleness, both available to all church members. Both had external speakers and those attending found the input and
teaching helpful.
The PCC are grateful to Kathryn Chedgzoy for all the various administrative tasks that she undertook to support the
clergy, PCC and church members.
Holy Trinity was pleased to continue to welcome some Ukrainian familiesto the church during 2024. A weekly'ukraine
Welcome, meeting has continued on Thursday afternoons, which is a mixture of chatting, playing, English lessons,
short gospel talk and sharing a meal together. The PCC are very grateful to Gill Darlington who oversees this mission
work, which is still funded by a grant received in 2022.
Other ministry initiatives carried on during 2024, including the monthly Cuppa, Cake & Chat which attracts a number
of elderly folk who live locally and for whom this is their sole contact with the church. A number of people who have
been coming to Cuppa Cake & Chat have now become regular attendees on a Sunday morning. There ha5 also been a
regular pattern of evangelistic courses, which have been well attended and well sUPPOrted by church members.
Holy Trinity Primary Academy continued to be supported by the church with the Vicar, Curate and Mark Addison
Vi51ting the school, to take an assembly or run the Bible Club. The PCC have been pleased to support the school with
donations to the school hardship fund. The PCC receive a regular update on the various school activities and any issues
being faced. Plans to open the Holy Trinity Community Hub at the school have been held up by a delay waiting for
Shropshire Council to move forwards with regards the future of the building. It is hoped that this will make progress
in early 2025.
The PCC have been kept updated regarding various matters relating to the church building. There are still unresolved
Issues regardingthe roof of the new kitchen, and water ingress. These matters are being pursued with the contractors
and architect. The latest Quinquennial Inspection was carried out in March 2024 and the report was issued to all PCC

member5. The electrical installation also has a full 5-year inspettion during 2024. A number of recommendations
contained in the Quinquennial report have been attended to, and quotes will be obtained to undertake repairs to the
boundary wall and stone entrance pillar. The pillar was made safe at the end of 2024. Other longer term will be kept
under review. The fire extinguishers were serviced as usual in November. A Buildings Team has continued to oversee
and undertake work to the fabric of the church and the PCC are grateful to those who give of their time and expertise
in this way.
The PCC spent a lot of time during 2024 discussing and praying about what was happening with the Church of England
nationally and were very concerned by the decisions that had been taken by General Synod. The situation within the
Oswestry Deanery has continued to give much cause for concern, with limited attempts at any meaningful resolution.
The PCC are very grateful to the Church of England Evangelical Council ICEECI forthe work they are doing leading the
traditional and evangelical response nationally. The PCC has continued to pay its Common Fund request via the
Ephesian Fund. Due to lack of available funds the PCC were unable to pay the full request in 2025.
Financial Review
The accounts for 2024 have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis.
Planned giving amounted to £112,849. This is an increase of £13,796 from 2023. The general expenses of running Holy
Trinity remain fairly constant. There was a small surplus for2024 of around £700, but £5,500 of Common Fund request
was unpaid.
Gift Aid received during the year amounted to £20,522 for the general fund.
The PCC are grateful to the generosity of church member5 in giving to support God's work at Holy Trinity. There was
an encouraging response to a stewardship campaign in January 2024, from which over £20,00 was either given or
pledged. However, as some church members left Holy Trinity during 2024, for a variety of different reasons, and
cancelled their monthly donations, this resulted in a reduction of income by around £10,000. The PCC are very
encouraged and grateful to God for his continued provision. There is still a big challenge in 2025 to raise sufficient
extra funds to break even and to begin to build up reserves.
At the end of the year the PCC had a total cash balance of £7,017 held mainly in a CAF Bank account.
The PCC has not agreed a reserves policy, which it hopes to do in 2025. Generally sufficient funds are held to cover 3
months, worth of unrestricted payments.
Mr Paul Evi50n of Garner Pugh and Sinclair was appointed as Independent Examiner at the APCM in 2024 and the PCC
are grateful to him for the work involved in putting the accounts together.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 315t December 2024
l Accountin
Policies
The financial statements have been prepared IT) accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities
(SORP) and applicable accounting standard FRS102.
The financial statements have been prq)ared under the historical ¢ost ¢onv¢ntion. Th¢ financial stal¢m¢nts in¢lude all
transactions, assets and liabilities for which thc PCC is responsible in law. They do not in¢lude th¢ aecounts of ehur¢h
groups that owe thcir main affiliation to another body nor those that are infrirn)al gatherings of Church members.
Cash Flow 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.
Descri
tiOD of Funds
Restricted funds comprise of two elcments'.-
a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the tems of
the trust or bequest.
b) donations or grnnts received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be
expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each yvdr must
be carried forward as a balancc on that fund. Th¢ PCC do¢s not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is
no separate investment, interest is apportiond to individual funds on 8n average balance basis.
Unrestricted funds arc income funds which ar¢ to be spent on the PCC'S general purpose.
In¢omln
Resources
Plannd giving. collections and donations are ￿CogniSed when re¢eiv¢d. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming
resource to which they relate is received. Grants and Lega¢i¢s ar¢ accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the
amounts due.
Dividends are accountcd for whcn receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivabl¢.
All incoming resourccs ar¢ accounted for gross.
Resources Ex
ended
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid ovcr, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or
constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically
for mission are dealt with as Yestrtcted funds. All other cxpenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is
accounted for gross.
Fixed Asset5
Consecrated and Benefice Propety is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10 (2) ( a ) & ( C ) of the
Charities Act 2011.
Movable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for th¢ PCC and which require a
faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the Church'5 inventory, which can be inspected (at any
reasonablc timc).
For anything aqUIr￿ prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost inforniation available and therefore such assets are not
valued in th¢ financial statements. Subsequcntly no individual item has cost more than £l.000 so all such eXp￿ditUre
has be¢n writl¢n off when incurred.
