ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2024

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF WATLING VALLEY ECUMENICAL PARTNERSHIP

Objectives and Activities

Watling Valley Ecumenical Partnership (WVEP) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) which is registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. The primary objective is to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the principles and practices of the participating denominations in the area of benefit.

The Trustees have the responsibility of promoting in the partnership, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social, and ecumenical. It also has the responsibility for maintaining the church buildings. Shortly before his death, Jesus prayed that his disciples might be one as he and God were one. We take that prayer and call very seriously, and our vision is that we should be ‘a united body of Christians, living with love, giving in grace and moving for mission’.

Structure, Governance and Management

WVEP is governed by the Trustee Board and a Constitution. Following the transfer of assets to the charity on the 21 April 2024, the newly elected Board of Trustees held their first meeting at the end of April 2024 and met six times during the year, with an average attendance of 13. Two Trustees resigned due to work commitments and family matters and the Parochial Church Council (PCC) will meet in 2025 to nominate their replacements. The accounts are now all on the Quickbooks system and training took place for local Church Treasurers to enable any queries to be raised.

At the Meeting of Members in November it was agreed that our five churches would register via the Eco church scheme.

Safeguarding – Following the Church of England Safeguarding Policy, Vivian (our Parish Safeguarding Officer) has continued to work closely with our local Safeguarding coordinators and Ministers to ensure that we follow the latest Safer Recruitment procedures and all relevant DBS checks are made and training is up to date. As at 21[st] January 2025, 40 volunteers had carried out the necessary training and DBS checks were issued. We are using both the Safeguarding Dashboard and Safeguarding Hub to help us with our Safeguarding, it continues to be a standing item on all business agendas within the life of the Partnership. All church members are encouraged to carry out the Basic Safeguarding training and all churches have dedicated Safeguarding noticeboards displaying relevant contact details and a monthly Safeguarding focus.

A number of concerns were raised during the year, and they were all dealt with appropriately with support from the Diocesan Safeguarding Team with records being kept.

Mission and Ministry

Life within the Watling Valley continues to move at a pace and we are extremely grateful for all who give of their time and their talents to help make the Partnership thrive. It is very much a team effort as we seek to serve God in this part of Milton Keynes. 2024 in many ways was a challenging year but equally there is much that we need to celebrate as we continue to live out God’s love in our community.

Across the Partnership there are several small groups who meet together regularly, whether that’s Knit and Natter, Café Connect, Open Church at St Mary’s, One Voice Community Choir and People at the Pub. Each group offers a time for people to come together for support and fellowship whether they are part of the church family or not.

Besides small groups meeting for fellowship and mutual support there are a number of discipleship groups that meet including the Theological Reading Group, Wednesday Bible Study and the Tuesday Home Group. These are great places to have some of those deeper discussions about faith. Holy Cross have begun a monthly prayer gathering on the last Friday of the month, across the Partnership prayer underpins all that we do. Alongside these, we have put on several Lent and Advent Courses, some of the courses we’ve used have been based on A J Levine’s books. For Advent we used the resource ‘From the Manger’ for study groups, use at home and Sunday reflections. In the Autumn we once again ran a confirmation class for both adults and young people that used the Nicene Creed to help us reflect on what we believe. It was good to be joined by people from Stantonbury.

Throughout the year we have continued to work with children and young people across the Watling Valley leading weekly assemblies at Christ the Sower and Caroline Haslett along with regular assemblies at seven other schools. This year has seen us also leading lessons on subjects including Baptism, the Nativity and the Divinity of Jesus. Within the Partnership our work has been focused on continuing to develop intergenerational worship as well as running a Sunday Club at Holy Cross three Sunday’s a month and working with a committed group of young people who meet monthly for Hot Potatoes. Hot Potatoes have had some interesting discussions on forgiveness and happiness to name a few, as well as organising 24hrs of madness that raised over £600 for the Henry Allen Trust. Once again, we held a very successful Holiday Club, Seaside Rock, which saw around 40 children reflecting on the life of Peter. The week culminated with a special Partnership service at which we were pleased to welcome the Mayor. With all the changes that have happened this year within the Ministry Team we haven’t done as much with Muddy Church as we would have liked to but we are planning to have more of a focus on this in 2025.

During 2024 the Diocese of Oxford was drawing together a national bid to help finance work with children, young people and families. Watling Valley was invited to be part of this bid and so much work was done my members of the Ministry Team with support from the Diocesan Team to draw up a proposal. Unfortunately, in March 2025 the Diocese was told that its bid wasn’t successful. However, this work hasn’t been wasted, and we are going to consider whether we can get some funding for some work within this area from other sources.

Work with those outside if education also continues and this was the focus of our application to the Methodist Church for a Deacon, following Barry’s retirement in 2025. The Methodist church had said that unfortunately we wouldn’t be eligible for a Methodist Presbyter due to a national shortage and so we were able to think creatively to keep our ecumenical diversity. We learnt in March 2025 that Deacon Ian Murray will be joining us in Spring 2026. Work in this area includes the weekly Café Connect, regular services held in residential homes and sheltered housing complexes and a commitment to work with Shenley Wood Village.

Within the individual churches there has been lots to celebrate as well as challenges to overcome. The main challenge has been that on finance and much effort has been made across the Partnership to raise funds through events and individual giving. Whether that’s been several successful concerts that have taken place at both St Mary’s and All Saints’ or Summer and Christmas Fairs which offer opportunities for the wider community to gather together and support the work of the church. All our buildings have had various amounts of work done on them during the year to keep them in good condition and as a witness to the wider community. This has included some urgent repair work on the bells at St Mary’s, repainting the ceiling at St Giles’, repairing the baptistry at Servant King. We are also thankful for those who are committed to keeping the churchyards looking tidy and

creating that oasis of tranquillity for people to spend time in, whether that’s enjoying time on one of the benches, walking through or visiting the grave of a loved one. All Saints’ have continued to develop the wildflower beds in the Jubilee graveyard which not only helps to make the area look beautiful but also supports the local wildlife.

The churches continue to work hard at being there for the wider community offering a space for people to meet together whether that’s for instrument lessons and to sing or for uniformed organisations pre-schools, U3A, baby sensory and others. Not only does this help to bring in some much-needed income it also is another way for us to serve our communities. Holy Cross has continued to host UnityMK (Formerly known as the Winter Night Shelter) every Saturday during the winter as well as offering a monthly Food Pantry which has continued to see high demand as people struggle with the cost of living supporting around fifty families.

We are very grateful to all those who support the worshiping life of the Partnership, from those who clean our churches to those who volunteer to welcome, set up chairs, read, lead intercessions, provide the music, serve at communion, provide tea and coffee and lead our worship. We offer a wide range of worship from the traditional Book of Common Prayer to the more informal Café Style. We have continued to hold a number of Partnership services throughout the year, these have been enhanced by the coming together of musicians and singers to aid our worship. We regularly find visitors coming along to our services and try to make sure that they have a warm welcome. As always, Christmas sees our biggest influx of visitors for worship especially the services in the afternoon on Christmas Eve. Across the Partnership we saw a record number of people coming along on Christmas Eve with an estimated 919 people, with a further 313 attending our Midnight & Christmas morning services. Christmas gives us a great opportunity to engage with the community and to share the real meaning of Christmas.

Once again, this year has seen changes within the Ministry Team with Ruth Harley leaving us for Newcastle in July after completing her curacy admirably. Kath Long was appointed as the new Team Vicar in March 2024 and we were delighted to welcome her in September when we were joined by people from across Milton Keynes and beyond. Having spent the first few months getting to know everyone across the Partnership it was agreed that Kath would become lead minister at All Saints’ and St Giles’, Adedayo at Holy Cross and Mike at St Mary’s and Servant King. The decision for both Kath and Mike to have oversight of two churches was made in the light of Barry’s impending sabbatical and then retirement in July 2025. Mike was able to enjoy a sabbatical in the summer term (although due to illness this was completed in the autumn) which saw him revisiting his vocational journey through a series of pilgrimages.

Watling Valley continues to be a very busy and active Partnership and we look forward to the joys and challenges that God has instore for us in 2025.

Financial Review

Across the partnership, Planned Giving through the Parish Giving Scheme and Standing Orders held steady throughout the year. We are immensely grateful for the overwhelming generosity which resulted in substantial Ad Hoc Giving. Fees from Weddings and Funerals is now lower than pre-Covid levels, due in large part, to the decrease in the number of Weddings held in church.

Fund Raising consisted of Summer Fetes, Christmas Fetes, and Concerts, with Bucks Historic Ride and Stride.

Only essential expenditure was agreed in 2024. The Bell Frame in St. Mary’s required a full overhaul, it being more than 110 years since the last. This necessitated a major Fundraising campaign. Otherwise, Expenses remained at a similar level to 2023.

The WVEP Share was £159,816.59. This provides for the running expenses of both the Partnership and Partnership Office, the stipends and housing for our Ministers, contributions to the running costs of all four denominations and Churches Together in Milton Keynes. The net result for the year was an excess of payments over receipts (a loss) of £11,278.97. The balance carried forward as at 31st December for unrestricted funds totalled £112,286.17.

The Ridgeway Community Centre ceased trading and was dissolved by Companies House on 16[th] July 2024 and the removed from the Charities Commission register on 5[th] September 2024. The Community Centre is part of Servant King Church within the Watling Valley Partnership.

Reserves policy

It is good practice to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds (if possible), which equates to approximately six months unrestricted payments, about £134,000 to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time.
