a. Report from the Church Wardens
This is a brief report from your Church Wardens, Toni Clarke and Carol Young, together with
your Assistant Wardens, Margaret Beddoe and Rosemary Vinnecornbe and reflects on our
activity during the past year.
though we are currenlty without a vicar, our operab.ons have continued 5moothty thanks to the
numerous volunteers from within the congregation vtho contribute signtficantty to the functioning
of our Church in various capacities.
Rosemary volunteered to join the Warden's Team and to suit her diary we changed our weekly
meeting time lo Wednesdays at 0930, which has worked for all of u5. Every week we spend
time reflecting and working on practical matlers affecting the Parish, Parishioners wellbeing and
our Worship and decide who is going to do what during the week that follows. Our meelings are
informal, and you are welcome to call in rf there is an issue you would like us to address.
We work as a team, each of us bringing our own unique skill set to our offering for which we gwe
thanks. Our aim is to be there to support you together with our church community, so do feel
free lo approach any one of us should you have matters of concem you need to share. We are
always grateful of feedback providing rt is of a constructNe nature and will listen to your
suggestions with an open mind.
Each week, one of your Warden's Team serves as the Duty Warden at each of the seNices
before, during and after worship. We are responsible for supporting the visrting priest and
ensuring that all arrangements are in pla￿. We are ah¥ays grateful rf you notice something we
have missed, e.g. lighting the candles, and appreciate any help you can gnie us.
Acquiring priestty cover for planned Sunday worship and occasional offices has been a
challenging and lime-consuming issue. however, we have been able lo establish a cohort of
willing ordained priests who are leading us in our preferred worship style. Currenlly we have no
idea how long we wll be In Vacancy as a Parish. so vising priests have been booked until the
end ofAugust 2025.
We support Occasional Offices through Margaret serving as Verger for Weddings and Funerals,"
Carol serving as Sponsor for Bapb'sms, Toni and Carol leading monthty worship at Rosemary
Lodge., Carol and Margaret supporting monthW worship at Beacon Park Village.
We slrive to do this work in the name of Christ. Amen.

c. Frlends of Christ Church Sub Committee: Annual Report for the 2025 APCM
2024 Commrttee members..
David Hartley, Richard Paulson, Carol Young, Jan Waterfield,
The accounts of the Fr￿ndS for the year ending December 31 2024 have produced and
have been conSol￿ated into the Christ Church Lichfiekl PCC accounts by Tony Rate.
The accounts showed the Friends raised £838.75 in 2024 (including £144.75 gift aid recovery)
and on the 31. Decemter 2024 a sum of £1,368.98 was held in the account, for use onty as
described in the Temis of Reference of the Friends Sub Committee.
In 2024 the Friends paid for the servicing of the Tower Clock, £168, Ihe annual check of the
Lightening Conductor, £126. and repairs lo the Tower Roof, £640 at a combined cost of
£934.00.
£144.75 Gift Aid recovery was pa￿ directty into the Church Fabric Fund which 1$ 8 restrictad
fund covering work on the Fabric of the Church in line with our lerms of reference.
In 2025 the monies In the Fnends account will be used to help cary out any fijrther work
identified by the 2022 Quinquennial inspection of the Church Fabnc The cost of the annual
lightning conductor testsng, and clock seNicing will again be covered by the Friends.
11 Is now 12 years since I set up the Fnends Sub Committee and l am no longer in a position to
do anything but manage the donats.ons from largely, the sadly decreasing number of original
members, plus a welcome couple of ones, and co-ordinate the regular serVi￿S to the
building that the FrEnds support. As you can see the committee is now down to three, wilh
Jan's departure, bul has not been active Sin￿ Lockdown and really needs some fresh blood to
try to tap into the many newcomers into the old Leomansley area over the last 12 years. We
were never successful in attracting members from Ihe new estates on the other side of Walsall
Road but as these have now become established it may be worth anolher lry.

d. Fabrlc and Churchyard Committee
The Committee comprises. Larry RKlout, Julia Baker. John Pear￿, Richard Paulson. Peter
Jones and David Hartley. We have met regularty through the past year.
Church Bullding
Various maintenance and irnprovernenl works have been carr￿d out through the year to keep
the building in a good slale of repair.
Regular inspections of the clock and lightning conductor have been carried out as well as
maintenance of the boiler, fire exbnguishers, AV system and electncal rtems. Thanks are due lo
number of people who diligently undertake regular routine tasks such as dock winding,
cleaning gutters. setting heating programmes. etc. and lo the 'Hoty Dusters. cleaning team.
A few minor repairs to the roots. particulady the tower roof, which had been noted in the
quinquennial inspection have been remedied. The hinges on the main gates were replaced to
event them from binding wthen they expand in wam weather.
The quinquennial inspection hjghlighted the need to invests.gate the condition of the stained glass
windows. A report was commissioned and work to 2 windows in the south wall of the nave was
identified as urgent. While waiting for a faculty for the work, there was an attempted break-in
which caused damage to a clear glass window in the north nave. Contact with our Insurance
company hlghl￿hted a condth'on that all stained glass windows should be prolected by window
guards. Only some of ours were. The PCC agreed that we should take an overall approach and
have all the windows brought up to standard and protected by mesh guards As of April 2025
this work is in progress and will be paKi for by generous donations and a grant from the Hinckley
Christ Church Trust
The AV system, consisting of a large LED monitor on the congr6gation side of the chancel arc
and 2 smaller monitors on the choir side were Installed. The existing audio system was upraled
so that it could accommodate addrtional fixed microphones in the chancel to enhance the sound
of the choir for the congregation This work was enabled by a generous Wuast.
With the Parish oonlinuing in interregnum, the repair of some of the degraded exterior stonework
is still on hold.
Churchyard
The regular churchyard mowing and strimming has again been undertaken by Chns Gittus. It
was a particularly challenging season due to prolonged spells of wet weather. The cost of this
work is covered by an annual grant from Lichfield City Council. His work has been
supplemented by the monthty garden hours. We are grateful to the people who come regularty
to help wrth keeping the churchyard looking tKJy.
We entered the Churchyard Award Scheme 2024 and were pleased to receive a Gold Award as
well as a 'Nalure Friendty, certificate.
A survey of the condrtion of the churchyard trees that was done in December 2023 has still not
been acted upon. Desprte several qurte intense winter storms, no damage was reported.
Thank you to everyone who puts in so much time and effort to maintain our English Heritage
Grade Il. listed building and rts grounds.

Chairman, Fabric and Churchyard Committee

e. The parish magazine, The Beacon
Six editions of The Beacon were produced duriTrJ the calendar year 2024 and so far, bi-monthly
into 2025. These have generalty been available at the end of the month preceding the issue
date.
The magazine has been the subject of ¢onsKlerable reorganisatron as far as its content is
concerned starting wrth the June 2024 issue. A review of all content was held with the PCC and
as a result some less popular rtems were discontinued and substituted by rnore relevant and
'lighter" articles. Some unnecessary information pages were dropped Whe￿ the information
. was duplicated by other means, although rotas were then reinstated by popular request.
We conlinue to publish reports from the school. I have attempted lo keep Ihe advance nolice of
worship as accurate as possib￿ wthin the bounds of the magazine being published up to ts•
months before some seNices and events. servi￿ details are no longer on a separate page, but
are included in a mu¢h expanded pansh diary.
The advertising revenue for the latest volume of the magazine (Volume 45) is slightly redu￿ as
we lost one full page advert. birt ￿ previous half page adverts were changed to full page.
The option to re¢eive copies by e-mail has continued into Volume 45 {20251 and remains a
permanent feature.
The price of the magazine remains at £2 per issue with all six copies for £10. Circulation has
remained roughly the same as in 2023 with a few new subscnbers Compensating for a few who
have not ren8wed their subscription. Overall subscription revenue is slightly higher than last
year.
Once more I musl express my gratitude lo the regular contributors to whom l am extrernety
grateful. I would encourage anyone who has views and opinions on any mallers to do with the
church, the local area of the environment to voice them through the magazine.
Whilst it is obviously easier for me to receive articles by e-mail, I would encourage péople
are maybe not PC literate not lo be pirt off submitting material. l am always happy lo type
articlès myself rf they are hand written.
All issues over the last year have been printed on recycled paper.
Circulatson and subscription records are deall wilh by myself and Sue Pnce. David and Sue
Hartley then distribute piles of the magazine to the distnbutors who post through the doors. for
ich l am extremety grateful. Advertising renewal at the end of 2024 was dealt with by myself.
We are particulady orateful to our dedicated team of distributors who deliver to houses around
the parish. Gratis copies are delivered to Pathway, school. and various eklerly people's
residencies.
On a more general nots. more volunteern are needed to help wlth advertlsing reach and
renewal.

f. The Martin Heath Hall APCM Report for Year Ending December 2024
Bookings:
Have remained high for the year wrth the hall in use every day (in school term time) including
mosl weekends. However, like mosl years we lose one or of our regular groups for varied
reasons, but this gives opportunty for new groups to start which ha5 been the case this year. We
have an array of diverse groups, from Toddler Play Groups, U3A, Yoga, Exercise lo Theatre and
DanGe and Rainbows, Guides arKI Brownies.
Maintenance:
There has not been any major maintenance work conducted this year just the usual day-day
upkeep ofthe hall. We did replace both key-safes in August to a push button type making them
easier to use and preventing them being left open wrth the code still showng as often happened
wrth the previous ones.
We have had a White Board installed on the blue wall in the Leomansley Room. This will
function as a training aid as w8 are receNing more enquiries for this type of booking.
Parklng:
Parking is a￿ayS going lo be an issue. The MHH Committee have had a meeting with the
6 Lichfield Scouts and bets¥een us we are trying to manage this problem and are in regular
communication on how we can improve the situation. We gave noti¢e of the cancellation of the
'The Parking Agreement. that was agreed in 2010 as rt did not meet the ¢urrenl parking usage.
Overall, Il has been a successful year for the MHH in helping to bring people together for the
various activities and makes a positwe contribution to the communities of Leomansley and
Lichfield.

g. LICHFIELD DEANERY SYNOD REPORT for the
ear 202415
All Deanery Synod Meetings are open to anyone who wouhy feel thè topic would be interesting.
We normally hold four synods each year.
n June 2024 our host for the evening was St Chad's. Lichfield. We heard from Rev'd. Simon
Foster about how we could pioneer Parishes and Growng Faith in the next Generalion. He
suggested that there were 9 goals for churches lo work towards, or possibly achieve, by 2030.
1. A grovrth In the overall worshlpplng community of 34,000 new dlsciples. The current
worshipping congregation r8pres8nts 0.9Yo of Ihe population of the Diocese.
2. 200 new worshipping Communities which are established and sustainable. In any new
worshipping community, we expect to see the word preached and the sacraments celebrated
with robust accountability structures in place.
3. A strengthened culture ol vocatlon amongst all God's people. and at least 30 new
licensed lay ministers and 30 ordinations a year. We need lo build one another up and
encourage vocations in all aspects of ministry, licensed or otherwtse.
4. An active plan in every parish for engaging wlth thelr local population beyond the
church walls. Every parish should have a plan for local engagement that Is regularty reviewed
and kept live and fresh.
5. Astrong connection between every primary and secondary school and their parish
church. There are 450,000 school age children in the Diocese, 45 000 of which attend a Church
of England school.
6. No fewer than 30 young people per year aged between 18 and 30 who are called to
leadershlp being supported through a high-quality devplopment programme offered by
the Diocese. By developing a leadership programme by making more disciples in each
Deanery.
paJ& 6

7. The age profile of each worshlpping communlty reflectlng the age profile of the
¢ommunity which It seThes. Most ofour church communrties have very few people under the
age of forty.
8. Every worshlpping community reflecting the diversity of the community they serrfe.
Currently. in many of our churches the whole gospel is not reaching the whole community.
9. All people being able to see themselves ￿flected in the leadershlp and governance of
the Diocese. The Bishop's Council wll set policies so that our representatNe structures reflect
the dNerse communrties we serve.
This paper is produced followng a three-year Diocesan pro￿$$ called Shaping for Mission. 11
is a consolidation of progress and learning to dale and will shape our plans for Othe next six
years.
In
e tember 2024 we met at Sl Anne's. where we had a presentation from Clare Whitney Ilhè
Diocesan Learning & Development Officer). Clare spoke about how the shape of ministry is
changing for people who are interested in training for Lay Readership Minislry. The training is
over a period of 4 years The course includes 7 modules- Reflection on Discipleship. Theology,
Mission, Evangelism. Worship in the Church of England, vocation on Public Ministry, Pastofal
Theology and a Foundation in Christian Farth.
Our next synod was planned for November but due to a sudden downfall of snow. it was agreed
that the weather was loo dangerous to travel to Christ Church, Gentleshaw.
On 19 Februa
2025 we held our meeting on Zoom.
Our topic was Getting lo know the new Bishop of Wofverhamplon- The Right Reverend Doctor
Timothy Wambunya. The Lay-chair of our Deanery asked him many questions which included
How did you come to faith? Bishop Tim said he had nurtured in believing by his Grandparents
who both worked for the church.
Nèxt Lilas asked him what were the main challenges facing the Church of England? He replied'.-
finding its way in God's work," the church is deciining, and this may be because there are many
nations in Britain but the chur¢h is neglects'ng God's great commission. social awareness.. and
also safeguarding.
What did he think his main challenge would be in the huge and diverse Diocese? He realyzed
thal he needs to focus one Ihing at a lime but his priorrties are lo more invofved in peoples
mission by refle¢ting where we are and energvzing people, he needs to find out why the church
is declining, (40 /0 In the last 10 years), and he wants lo Inspire and encourage people to
become excitèd about mission and Christianity to grow God's church.
What of his ro￿ as Bishop bnngs him most Joy? He said he likes meeting people and helping
Christians to feel happy.
How can we pray for our Diocesan Bishops? Bishop Tim feels they should be able to focus on
mission and not administration. it is Important that all work well together as brothers and sisters
in Christ, and as good teachers for the benefft of the vthole Diocese.
How can we encoufago clergy to want to minister in this Diocese? Bishop Tim suggested that
we pray that God will call G￿rgY to work here.
What books did he recommend? 'Hoty Habrts,. 'PTaying wth Paul,, and his own book
'Recovering the Great Mission, which will hopefully be available next year.
Lastty Which 3 people woukl he invite to dinner? He said Saint Paul because he wants to know
how he managed lo find time to write all his letters and travel and talk lo so many people,
Timothy Bavin who was Bishop of Johannesburg. and Tom Scott because he wants lo ask what
hell is like.

future project and which are therefore not included in its "free reserves" as disclosed in the trustees, annual
report.
Restricted funds comprise of two elements..
a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in
the terms of the trust or bequest
bl donations or grants received for a specific objed 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 year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest
separately for each fund. Vvhere there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds
on an average balance basis.
Endowment funds are restricted funds that must be retained as trust capital either permanently or Subject to
discrelionary power to spend capital as income, and where the use of any income or other benefit derived
from the capital may be restricted or unrestricted. Full details of all their restrictions are shown in the notes to
the accounts.
Income
Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received or when the PCC becomes entitled
to the resource and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Tax refunds are
recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and Legacies are accounted
for when Ihe PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due and the monetary value can be measured wrth
sufficient reliability. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is
recognised when il is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.
Page 11

Accounting Policies continued
Expenditure
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or
constructive obligation on the PCC, The diocesan common fund is accounted for when due. Amounts
received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally
recognised when it is inGurred and is accounted for gross.
Governance and Support Costs
Support costs should be allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs
comprise all costs involving public accountability of the PCC and its compliance with regulation and good
practi￿.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis
consistent with the use of resources eg by allocating staff costs by time spent and other costs by their usage.
Flxed Assets
Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts by s.10{2)(a)&(C} of the Charities Act
2011.
Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which
require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the Church's inventory. which can be
inspected lat any reasonable timel. For anything acquired prior lo 2000 there is insufficient cost information
available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements.
No depreciation is provided on The Martin Heath Hall. The PCC policy is to maintain lis freehold building in
an adequate state of repair such that its residual value is not less than their carrying value and the remaining
useful life of these assets exceeds 50 years, SO that any depreciation charges would be immaterial.
Other tangible fixed assets are valued at cost. The depreciation rates and methods used are as follows..
Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over 4
years.
The church hall equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over 5 years.
The Central Heating System is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years.
The Church Hall Refurbishment is bein9 depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years.
Equipment used outside the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over 10
years.
Investments
Investments in quoted shares. traded bonds and similar investments are valued initially at oosl and
subsequently at market value at the year end. Investments held for re-sale are treated as current asset
investments.
Debtors
Debtors are measured on initial recognition at settlement arnount. Subsequenlly they are measured at cash
expected to be reoived.
Creditors and AGcruals
Creditors are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. Accruals are measured on best
estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.

Independent Examinerfs report to the trustees/members of The PCC of The Parish of Christ Church,
Lichfield
st
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are set out on the following pages.
Res
ective res
onsibilities of the Trustees and Inde
endent Examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider
that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) an
d that an
Independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility
to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission
(under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Inde
endent Examiner's Statement
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 accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the 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.
Inde
endent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me
cause to believe that in any material respect:
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or
the accounts do not accord with the with the accountlng records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be
drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
