Review of h Y
St Martin's Church, as a worshipping community, along with the events and activities we offer and the connections we have to our
local community have experienced encouraging growth throu8h 2024. New initiatives which were prayed and planned for during
2023 have become realities thanks to many volunteers and new fundin8. St Martin's Church has continued to be a presence for
good as part of the Bradley community.
We gather each Sunday morning for Bible teaching, prayer, sung worship and fellowship. Our children and young people's Sundav
groups continue to be an important aspect of our ministry, ensuring that our youn8er family members discover more about the
Christlan faith. Across the year themes explored have included the Bible Society'5 series on Romans'the letter that makes sense of
life" Christian Lifestyle and the first half of The Nitene Creed. We are blessed that our children and ytsung people are Committed
members of our church family and pray that they may continue to grow in the knowledge and love of God. We celebrate the
contribution that the children and young pec*ple make to our church family in many ways. including being part of the band, leading
prayers or readings.
We have continued with the inter8enerational format for monthly Worship for Everyone services, with the congregation sat around
large tables for creative and reflective worship and interactin8 Wlth one another and of course continuing with the breakfast treats.
Sunday morning worship continue5 to be live51reamed.
Poge-l-

In January, we began an 8-week small group course on Romans. using material published by The Bible Society, to complement the
Sunday morning Sermon series.
We ran Alpha in June and a group of up lo 10 people explored questions of faith; as a result of Alpha, three participants requested
baptism or re-affirmation of baptismal vows. This led onto St Martin's hosting a packed confirmation service on behalf of the
Deanery in April 2024 and there were ten candidates from St Martin's. five of whom had come to faith through Alpha In re￿nt
years.
Christian Festivals were opportunities to offer special worship times including an Easter Sunday dawn celebration at the Bradley
War Memorial, where we had erected a wooden cross, and decorated it with flowers and greenery at daybreak. Advent and
Chiistmas services once again included a Blue Christmas reflection for those grieving the death of loved ones or experiencing Other
5adne55 and loss and the ever-popular Christin8le Service which we combined with Christmas carols and was very well attended by
youn8 and older alike, with people attendin8 who would normally not come to church.
The annual act of remembrance at the War Memorial led jointly with Bradley Methodist Church was attended by all ages from the
comrnunity. Additional risk assessments and trainin8 to consider Counter Terrorism were required by the local authority (from
whom we must seek permission for the event). We were grateful to our local police sergeant for additional support in preparing for
the event and the Presen￿ of two police officers on the day.
We were deli8hted to be joined by a new ordinand Joanne Redding in Septembei 2024 as she began context-based trainin8 in
preparation for ordination. In addition to Sundays, Jo is on placemeni In thè parish for 16 hours a week. We appreciate the ongoin8
ministry of Annette Duckworth who, following her ¥etirement as a Self-supporting Minister in another parish, has been given
Permission To Officiate IPTOI and exercises this ministry mainly at St Martin's Church.
Rev Kate continues in her role as a local academy governor for St Martin's Primary School and as a director for St Martin's Multi-
Academy Trust. She regularly leads collective worship and contributes to the Chrlsiian ethos and vlsion. She was part of the interview
panel for appointing a new Head tsf School in the Autumn Term.
Ou¥ church remains actively involved in Churches Together in Bilston and Bradley ICTBBI, contributing to key community events
throughout Ihe year. The annual Easter outreach in the town centre provided an opportunity to share the gospel through son&
presentations, and distributing chocolate and offering prayer to those passing by. Meanwhile, Hope in the Park continued to be
hi8hlight of the summer, drawing many fr¢m the local area to Hi¢kman Park. Attendees enjoyed a varriety of games and activitie5
h05ted by chvrches, while children from Bilston and Bradley Schools took to the stage to showcase their talents. 5t Martin's Church
volunteers ran the prayer tent with creative prayer activities, personal prayer ministry and children made 'Jesus is my superhero,
masks.

Other Grant-funded initiatives
In December 2023 we were awarded a £9,900 grant from the National Grid Community Matters fund. to be spent by March 2024.
£49QN) was to be allocated towards the Church Centre's energy costs up between December 2023 and March 2024 and £5000 was
dedicated to a Warm Homes projert for the local community. Residents in the WV14 postcode area were able to apply for energv-
saving item5 to help to reduce household utility costs and contribute to warmer and more comfortable homes. We were shocked
to discover that there were many families without the very ba51C5 of keepin8warm in their homes and slept without proper beddinB,'
we met families where children were sleeping under coat5 or thin fleece$ and a significant proportion of the funding was spent on
providing c05y duvets and bedlinen. Some families also benefited from draught excluder products. low energy lightbulbs. thermal-
Irned curtains and heated blankets. The funding opened up new connections to our community that we are able to contlnue to build
through welcoming people to Bradley Connect and other event5.
Fundraiser5- these are popular events wlth church and community, in particular the annual Operation Christmas Child evening
held in November each year, prornotin8 the work of the Samaritan's Purse'shoe 8oxes' campaign and raising money to send our
packed shoe boxes off to children around the world.
Stew3rdshlp
The PCC acknowledges the ongoing faithful commitment of church members to regular giving of money and time which enable5 St
Martin's Church to continue to function within and for the parish in accordance with its aims and objectives. Many people in the
church family volunteer in at least one and often multiple roles and much of what we do would not happen without this sacrificial
glvlng of time and money. During September, the Sunday worship theme focussed on 'Generosity' and as we considered the
Immense generosity of God towards u5, we rellerted and reviewed our own response both in 5ervFn@ and planned financial giving.
As a Tè5uIt, 3 number of financial pledges were established and existing ones increased and new volunteers were added to the ranks.
Rentals
Weight Watchers continue to rent the Lower Hall on Thursday evenin8S throughout the year. We once again benefitted from
occasional rentals for example children's birthday partles. charity meetings and another church who held lis PCC away-day at the
Centre.
We were delighted to be approached by local Slimming World consultants who wanted to r&establi5h weekly sessions in the church
centre. Their new long-term, weekly rental commences in January 2025.
Future Plans
In addition to promoting the rental opportunitses of the building, we need to be continually mindful of opportunitie5 for grant5 and
donation5 to support the running of our charitable activitie5 and the upkeep of ihe church centre. A Buildin8 and Maintenance
Action Group ha5 been established with the remit of implementing general maintenance tasks on behalf of the PCC and formulating
proposals for larger scale projects where area5 of the building require renovation or rernodelling.

Reserves Polrc
It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on free reserves Inet current assets) which equates to at least two months unrestricted
payments. This is equivalent to £11,6852 2024 IEII.144 20231. It 15 held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet
emergencie5. The balance of the free reserve5 at the year-end w35 £47,655 20241£70,514 20231 which Is signifi¢antly higher than
this target. In the uncertain economic climate. it is felt to have a healthy reserve is a good foundation for the future and will allow
the charity to explore diflerent outreach if identified and be secure of having sufficient reserves if called upon in any unfoleseen
drcumstances.
Investment Polic
The chaiity Is granted power to Invest in 5Ultable invesiments under rhe PCC Powers Measure 1956 and the Trustees Act 2000. As
a charity, the Trustees have a duty of care to take such advice as is appropriate before investments are undertaken. Thls advice is
sought from the Central Board of Finance ICCLAI in London.
The charitvs investment policies are based on two key principles..
Ethical Investment-this includes ensuring that investments are held in companies which have high standards of corporate
8overnance and act in a responsible way towards stakeholders.
Lon8-term responsibilities
the trustees are aware of their lon8-terrn re5pon5ibilities in respect of the Restricted and
Unrestricted reserves and as a result follow a prudent approach to investment decisions.
Investment policy for lons-term funds 15 aimed prirnarily at generating a 5U5tainable income, with due reBard to the need for the
preservation of capital value, and the p055ible need to realise investments to meet operational needs. The charity does not have a
policy of generating income at excessive or high risk- known as 'purchasing income" where high returns are guaranteed at the
expense of capital.
In summary, the charity has an overall policy to maxirni5e income while preserving the real value of its funds. Due to the nature of
the charity. an ethical investment policy is taken into consideration when inve5tment5 are made. The charity follow5 the Ethical
Investment Advisory policy as recommended by the Lichfield Diocese which includes the following-.
"We aim to invest in companies that..

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in theaccountsandseeking explanationsfrom the
trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence ihat would be requlred in an
audit, and consequently no opinion Is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fairt view and the report Is limited to
those matters set out in the statement below.
