Aim and Purpose

St.Oswald’sParochialChurchCouncilisresponsibleforco-operatingwiththeVicarinpromoting Christ’s commission to preach, teach and live the gospel, involving pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical duties within the parish and mission projects world-wide. It also has maintenance responsibilities for St. Oswald’s Church buildings and grounds.

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a charity registered with the Charity Commission. The PCC has taken account of the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We seek to enable people to live out their Christian faith by being a joyful, prayerful and caring church, alive to the Holy Spirit, welcoming and accessible to all, building relationships with God and the community we serve.

PCC Membership

Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll, and to stand (or nominate others) for election to the PCC. Members of the PCC are either ex-officio (Vicar, Churchwardens, Readers, and Deanery Synod representatives) or elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (normally for a three-year term). The Annual Parochial Church Meeting took place on 23rd April 2023 and the churchwardens and representatives listed below were elected.

1

Vicar: The Rev’d Robert Riley-Braley

Churchwardens: Mr Maurice Lisley and Mrs Helen McAlpine

Elected Members

Mrs Anne-Georgina Barnes, Mrs Debbie Clifford, Mr Jonathan Cox, Mrs Margaret Cox, Mrs Val Edwards, Mrs Clare Hook, Ms Karen Pryse, Mr Alan Restarick, Mrs Anne Thomas, Mr Brian Thomson, Mrs Lynn Williamson.

Committees:

The PCC operates through several committees, which meet between PCC meetings:

Standing Committee: this is the only committee required by law. It has powers to act for the PCC between meetings unless directed otherwise by the PCC.

Finance & General Purposes Committee: handles financial matters, including annual accounts; deals also with practical matters relating to the upkeep and improvement of the Church, Hall, and Grounds,

Pastoral Committee: deals with a range of pastoral matters, including ecumenical links, youth work and education and allocation of donations to charities.

Church membership and attendance:

In April 2023 (2022 in brackets) there were 105 (109) names on the Electoral Roll. In 2023 average Sunday attendance was 59. 258 attended Christmas Eve and Christmas services and 83 at Easter. For comparison, in 2022 average Sunday attendance was 61; 180 attended Christmas Eve and Christmas services and 100 at Easter.

Review of the year

The PCC met in January, March, May, July, September and November. The FGPC met in January, March, July, August and October and the Pastoral Committee in January, March, July, August, October and November.

Meetings addressed various aspects of the life and worship of the Church. In addition to the important matters dealt with in the reports from the Treasurer, Churchwardens, Safeguarding Officer, Deanery Synod and Churches Together, topics discussed included, in no particular order, the progress of our Mission Action Plan (see below), safeguarding, fundraising, kneelers, Easter and Christmas arrangements, publicity, children and young people, encouraging volunteers, the Warm Welcome initiative, plans for the Coronation weekend, the long-term future of our church building, the Parish Nurses, transport to services, the Living in Love and Faith process, communion by extension, keeping the church open and church Whatsapp groups. In September we were visited by the Rural Dean who gave a stirring presentation on the Trinity Project, supporting the mental health of young people, which was subsequently designated as 50% of the Parish Project for 2024.

Mission Action Plan

Each of our four Mission Action Plan goals was taken forward, with specific actions as follows:

The MAP is subject to continual revision and renewal. Much work remains to be done and ideas and, more importantly, offers of help would be welcome.

Worship

Attendance at main Sunday services has remained steady though not at pre-pandemic levels. It has been gratifying to see some new faces in the congregation and we continue to pray for the growth of our church, numerically, spiritually and in terms of our impact more widely, often using the Leading your Church into Growth Prayer. In the light of continuing concerns and vulnerabilities in the wake of the Covid-19 Pandemic, we have continued to offer administration of communion by intinction for those who prefer it alongside the sharing of the common cup. Distribution of wine by intinction only has been retained at the 8am and the midweek services.

The monthly 3rd Sunday ”Spotlight” services resumed in May and have dealt with various topics: Mission to Seafarers (twice), Mothering Sunday, Environment, Christian Aid, Racial Justice, Travel, St Francis, Education, Safeguarding and Toybox (a charity supported by our Christmas Tree Pledge Scheme for 2023). The services have benefited from some interesting guest speakers (Revds Kate Peacock, Andrew Wright, Nicolette Wolff, Jairo Nyaongo and Paul Palmer and Toybox CEO Lynne Morris) as well as homegrown “talent”, careful preparation from the organising team, the musical talents of our “band” – and the attendance of our friends from the Methodist Church! 1st Sunday Family Services, this year following the theme of “Spiritual Fruit” inspired by Galatians 5.22-23, likewise benefit from careful preparation by a dedicated team along with contributions from members young and older and are much appreciated. The eye-opening offsite service at the Catholic Worker Farm in August was a particular highlight. The short service of Evening Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer on the 1st Sunday of each month continues to be appreciated by the small congregation who attend, as does the Wednesday morning 11am Communion Service.

We are blessed in our worship by the musical talents of many in our congregation, both vocal and instrumental. The faithful offering of musical talents is much appreciated and it has in particular been encouraging to see the participation of younger members in the band that plays at Spotlight and Family Services. We are also privileged to have an active choir and once again a highlight of the year was the Carol Service, enriched by the involvement of lesson readers representing the local community. New members of the choir are always welcome. Our organists continue to serve us well, including Quentin Phillips who stepped

3

down in the autumn from his main role as organist on Sunday mornings but continues to play on Wednesdays and on an occasional basis at other times.

The Lent course this year was an ecumenical event under the auspices of Churches Together in Croxley Green. The overall theme was “Prayer is for All” and meetings addressing the theme from a variety of perspectives took place in each church successively on Wednesday afternoons and evenings. This arrangement was well received and participation was good. Members of the congregation were also encouraged to make use of the booklet of daily reflections “Dust and Glory” which followed the Church of England Lent theme for 2023. In addition to the usual services of Communion with Ashing in the morning and evening, our observance of Ash Wednesday this year was enlivened by an afternoon activity for children which included burning of palm crosses in the church garden. On Monday to Wednesday of Holy Week a number of church members gathered in Church for play readings from Dorothy L. Sayers’ classic “The Man Born to be King”. Services took place as usual on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday. St Oswald’s once again sponsored the Churches Together Good Friday Walk of Witness and a group from our Church participated in the Easter Monday Pilgrimage to the Cathedral.

In Advent, a small group gathered in the Vicarage on the first three Mondays to say Evening Prayer together. Christmas saw a slight increase in attendances but we were most gratified by an increase of around 300% at the Pop-Up Carols with an attendance of 100 – thanks especially to local childminders! Thanks are also due to the team, young and not so young, who together put on the nativity play at the annual Crib Service. The splendid Carol Service has been mentioned above.

Only two baptisms took place this year, but it has been good to see both families maintaining a connection with the Church. The single wedding for the year was a happy and memorable occasion involving many of the congregation. Ten funerals were conducted on behalf of St Oswald’s during the year, two of these combined a service in church with committal at a crematorium, and the annual All Souls’ Memorial Service took place in November. The congregation was made up largely of church members but there were a few visitors. Refreshments were provided in line with our MAP goal of being more welcoming. Four deaths particularly touched St Oswald’s in 2023: Margaret Cowlard, Angela Sedgwick, Tom Guy and Valerie Griffiths. Each had blessed our Church life in their own unique way and all are sadly and sorely missed. Rest in peace.

A short course on Exploring Prayer with video recorded talks by the Archbishop of Canterbury was run in the summer and in the autumn we ran The Bible Course from the Bible Society. Both courses were well received by participants and the latter was particularly well attended.

Social and Fundraising

The social and fundraising side of the Church’s life included an Anniversary Bring and Share Lunch in January, a nautical evening associated with this year’s support for Mission to Seafarers, a Family Quiz and Activity Evening, Café O at the Revels, a Summer Jumble Sale, a Quiz Supper and the now annual Beetle Drive and Christmas Pudding and Craft Evening. In May it was a pleasure to celebrate the Coronation weekend with cake and bubbly after the Family Service and a litter pick on Big Help Out Monday, referred to above. The fundraising Parish Project this year was split equally between our own church

4

development projects and the Mission to Seafarers. In addition to fundraising, over 100 woolly hats were knitted for the Mission. The Church building hosts a monthly U3A singing group and the weekly rehearsal of the Croxley Community Choir who gave an informal concert in October in aid of Mission to Seafarers. In June St Oswald’s hosted a a café style service to promote the work of the two Croxley Parish Nurses.

Communication with the congregation has continued via a weekly emailing, supplemented by a small print run of printed sheets with an abbreviated version. The bi-monthly Parish Magazine provides a range of articles and news items, is available in printed and online versions and is received and appreciated beyond the regular congregation. Communication is also facilitated by the church website, by our pages on the “A Church Near You” website and by regular postings on our Facebook page and engagement with local FB pages.

The Warm Welcome initiative begun in 2022 continued until March this year, with the Church open and attended on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. In spite of the commitment of the volunteers who made this initiative possible visitors were few, although there were friendly conversations with those who did drop in. After discussion with other local churches, it was decided that Warm Welcome should resume in October but run concurrently with Café O on Monday mornings and that payment should therefore be by donation in order not to exclude anyone. Over the year Café O has continued to provide excellent coffee and cake and a “place to start the week” in good company and with friendly staff. The regular clientele appears to have changed somewhat, with a somewhat older clientele. Café O is a vital aspect of our service to the local community and thanks are due to all the team behind it, not least to Geoff Cox who stepped down as manager at Christmas after 10 years’ service, to be succeeded by Magdalena Pletsch and Christine Guy.

The Men’s Breakfast continues to meet on a monthly basis on a Saturday morning, with bacon rolls and interesting talks. Our ably-led Diocesan MU Group meets monthly on Thursday afternoons and is much valued by the ladies who attend. The Companions are now all “young adults”. They met for weekend retreats in March and September at Holland House and at a Christmas Day reunion.

Children and Young People

A new initiative this year was the Donut Club launched in partnership with the Trinity Project, a new Rickmansworth Deanery initiative to support the mental wellbeing of local young people. The aim of the Club was to provide a place for new Year 7s to meet and socialise with friends from their old primary school on Friday afternoons during the first half of the autumn term. In the event the Club proved popular with over 30 attending on occasion. In response to demand, it was decided to continue the Club on a monthly basis during term time.

This year’s children’s Holiday Club followed the theme “God’s Wonderful World” and included input on various wild creatures. Publicity was low-key owing to a desire to avoid being oversubscribed which meant that attendance was only around 40. Nevertheless, the children who came clearly had a great time and there was lots of positive feedback. As last year, alongside our own volunteers, young and old, some young people from Pinner Methodist Church assisted with the Club.

The Brunch Club for teenagers after the morning service on the 1st and 3rd Sundays has

5

struggled to get off the ground: busy lives have made it difficult to make alternative arrangements for this age group. The Sunday School continues to function. Although numbers are currently few, the children who attend clearly enjoy their time together. It should be emphasised that all the above activities for children and young people depend heavily on the willingness, commitment, enthusiasm of volunteers from the church congregation, who deserve our appreciation and thanks. Activities and groups for this category also depend on the efficient practice of Safeguarding. Our thanks and appreciation should also go to the team responsible and to Parish Safeguarding Officer Gill Thomson who stepped down in the autumn after 20 years in the role and to Val Edwards who has taken over her role.

In 2023 the Girlguiding groups had a busy year. The Guides went on an indoor and outdoor camp with groups from Watford units. The girls had a great time. Sadly the Tuesday Brownie group closed down in the summer. All the Brownie groups in Croxley Green went on a sleepover together to Paccar. The Rainbows enjoyed an evening over at Woodoaks farm making bird boxes.

The Vicar conducts occasional assemblies on behalf of the Church in Malvern Way Infant School and Little Green Junior. He also recorded a video assembly for Croxley Danes Secondary School at Christmas, when chocolates were delivered for the staff of each school.

It remains to say that the Church is its people and the continuing life of St Oswald’s depends, under God, so much on the efforts and commitment of volunteers, often doing unsung tasks behind the scenes. It would therefore not be fitting to conclude this review of the year without expressing sincere and hearty thanks to them and especially to all our Church Officers, the Churchwardens, Treasurer, PCC secretary and members of the PCC. The Vicar is grateful to the congregation as a whole for their forbearance and support in what has been a personally challenging year.

Church giving to charities

St Oswald’s supports a number of charities to further our Christian mission both in this country and abroad. We continued our practice of donating 10 per cent of our congregational giving to the following charities: - United Society Partners in the Gospel, Church Mission Society, A Rocha, ASCEND, Christian Solidarity Worldwide, the Marylebone Project of the Church Army, Alternatives Newham and the Watford Schools Trust. These charities are selected according to a policy of balancing local, national and overseas beneficiaries and evangelistic, social and environmental causes. As previously mentioned, our Parish Project fundraising in 2023 was split between our own development projects and The Mission to Seafarers. At our Harvest Festival, items were once again collected for needy families at the Alternatives Project in East London. These were subsequently delivered and much appreciated. We also raised money for the Bishop’s Harvest Appeal, ‘Cracking Food Poverty Together’, supporting Mission Direct’s work in Kumi, Uganda, by providing materially poor families with chickens, for Christian Aid, for the Children’s Society through our Christingle Service and for the Toybox charity which was the beneficiary of our Christmas Tree Pledge Scheme. At Easter, chocolate eggs were collected and delivered to the Church Army Marylebone Project for homeless women.

Safeguarding

The PCC has continued to comply with its duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 to have regard to the House of Bishop’s guidance on Safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.

Over the past year the safeguarding team has continued to undertake relevant clearances when necessary. This has become simpler now that many of St Oswald’s volunteers have signed up to the DBS updating service. Volunteers are recruited using the Safer Recruitment Process and relevant clearances obtained when necessary. The safeguarding team is available for confidential advice on any safeguarding concerns that volunteers may have. Keeping up to date with training remains an ongoing requirement for all those working with children and vulnerable adults. Training continues to be offered online.

Financial report

Receipts in 2023 exceeded payments by £16,057. That is due to a rise in funds restricted for charitable donations etc. and a significant amount raised and set aside for refurbishment of the church kitchen. The kitchen upgrade looks like it is now fully funded and will be a valuable resource for Cafe O and Donut Club and the outreach work of the church, as well as refreshments after services. We have been most fortunate to have received funds from third parties in relation to the church kitchen work including a grant of £750 gifted by Councillor Chris Lloyd from the Council’s Local Budget Scheme.

Church reserves were used to fund the first phase of upgrading the audio-visual equipment in the church. Unfortunately, spending on the general running costs of the church exceeded unrestricted income by £422 which means that there is no scope to transfer additional funds to reserves.

The prayerful generosity and support of the congregation is very much appreciated as the costs of running the church and hall continue to rise. For example, our parish share has risen from £68,475 in 2023 to over £70,000 in 2024. We have already had a couple of surprise expenses in 2024. The hall exit door soaked up a huge amount of water following constant rain and the water tank sprang a leak in the church hall above the kitchen, both of which can be met by reserves put by in previous years.

We continue to ask that where possible giving is made by using electronic means such as the card reader at the back of church or by the various online methods as we no longer have a local Barclays branch.

The members of the PCC declare that they have approved the report, and the Accounts on the following pages, which form an integral part of this document.

In dependent Examiner’s Report to the PCC of the St Oswald’s Church, Croxley Green

I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023, which are set out on the following pages 9 to 18.

Respective responsibilities of trustee and examiner

The charity’s trustee is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The charity’s trustee considers that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

This report, including my statement, has been prepared for and only for the charity’s trustee as a body. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustee those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustee as a body for my examination work, for this report, or for the statements I have made.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

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 financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from you as trustee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opi nion is given as to whether the financial statements 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:
