## The PCC of St Andrew with Holy Cross, Basildon Report of the Members/Trustees For the year ended 31[st] December 2025 

## 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).  The PCC is a registered charity. Charity number 1201526. 

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules (1969). All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. PCC members are elected for a three-year term after which they may stand for re-election. 

## Objectives and activities 

The PCC has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, Rev Tim Brampton, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. 

## Summary of main activities 

- acts of public worship open to all 

- provision of sacred space for personal reflection and contemplation 

- pastoral work, including visiting the sick and bereaved 

- teaching Christianity through sermons, courses and small groups 

- provision of facilities for local community use 

## Financial review 

Financially the core of the PCC’s ongoing income is the planned giving via Gift Aid and the free-will offering envelope scheme. Giving from these sources and general collections (without tax refunds) was £42,714 which is a small increase on that received in 2024. It is only by the faithfulness and generosity of the congregation that we can ensure that God’s work in the parish will continue to grow. 

Members of the congregation are encouraged to plan their giving, either with the envelope scheme, or by the use of a bank standing order. For those who are taxpayers, the Gift Aid scheme also allows the PCC to reclaim tax on donations, whether regular or one-off. During 2025 the Parish also registered with the Parish Giving Scheme. 

Payments of £7,318 were gratefully received to the general fund from HMRC under the Gift Aid scheme. This income included £1,667 from the GASDS (Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme) which allows tax refunds to be claimed on certain loose offerings to the church. Additional Gift Aid monies were received on donations for specific purposes and accounted for in the appropriate restricted funds. 

The PCC receives fees for weddings and funerals at both churches. This totalled £2,687 during 2025. Although there was less wedding income, this was offset by fees from an increased number of ashes interments and a burial in the churchyard. 

The PCC also receives some income from groups using St Andrew’s. This amounted to £8,112 during 2025, a small reduction from 2024. Regular users included a Dance group, Brownie and Rainbows groups, a church group from the Asian Orthodox Christian community and Basildon Gamblers Anonymous. 

As ever the major expenditure through the year has been the parish share contribution to the diocese which funds ministry across the whole diocese. The contribution requested in 2025 was 7.5% higher than in 2024. This still reflects the plurality agreement whereby the parish ‘shares’ a stipendiary incumbent with St Martin’s parish, so was a total of £28,635. This was paid in full. Our 2026 parish share target will be £28,974, an increase of 1.2%. 

As well as £687 from Christmas service collections given to the Children’s Society, the PCC made gifts of £409 to each of Open Doors and Médecins Sans Frontières, and £818 to each of The Basildon Emergency Night Shelter and the Basildon and Brentwood CAP debt centre. 



## The PCC of St Andrew with Holy Cross, Basildon Report of the Members/Trustees For the year ended 31[st] December 2025 

With the completion of the programme of work at Holy Cross, the specific Holy Cross Fund has been kept open to receive donations made specifically for the maintenance of Holy Cross church. At the end of 2025 this fund stood at £7,167. 

Fundraising efforts during the year were accounted for in the Buildings Fund, which is used to fund repair work at either church. At the end of the year this fund stood at £13,902. 

The ReStore Food Ministry continued through the year, reflecting the ongoing needs in the community. Financial donations from Manor Mission in Laindon and a number of individual donors ensured that it was always possible to top up the donations of food from Tesco, Nando’s and other sources under the FareShare scheme and the continuing donations of food items from members of the congregations in our parish and from other churches, schools and organisations. 

These donations to ReStore are accounted for in a restricted Food Ministry Fund. At the end of 2025 this fund stood at £2,323. 

The PCC is assisting Basildon Deanery with the payroll etc. tasks of employing a Deanery Mission Support Administrator to be employed on a short-term contract and funded from a Diocese Mission Opportunities Grant. The PCC was in receipt of that grant during 2025 which is accounted for in a new restricted fund. The Deanery Administrator will be employed from the start of 2026 and salary and expenses paid from this restricted fund. 

The costs of our Children and Families Worker are met from our General Fund. This is financially possible because of the level of Parish Share reflecting the plurality order ministry arrangements. 

Honoraria were paid directly from wedding and funeral fees received, and to various members of the congregation for verger duties at funerals. 

## Reserves Policy 

The PCC has two funds set aside as reserve funds. The Buildings Fund is specifically for major works on both buildings, and the Development Fund for activities related to growth within the parish. These funds are seen as first steps towards planning financially for the future of the parish. 

During 2025 a transfer of £1,500 from the General Fund was made to the Buildings Fund as budgeted. A transfer of £5,000 was made from the Holy Cross Restoration Fund back to the Buildings Fund after the receipt of the Friends of Essex Churches Trust grant.  At the end of 2025 the Buildings Fund stood at £13,902. 

The PCC also transferred £1500 into the Development Fund.  At the end of 2025 this fund stood at £12,727.
