TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT
2025 Report for the Parochial Church Council of
St Alban the Martyr, South Norwood
Aims and Purposes
St. Alban's Parochial Church Council (PCC) has as its primary object the promotion of the
Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. It also has the responsibility of co-operating with the Incumbent, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. St Alban's is affiliated with The Society under the patronage of St Hilda and St Wilfred; the Bishop of Fulham having ecclesiastical oversight and the PCC supports the work of Forward in Faith. The PCC is also responsible for the maintenance of the adjoining Church Hall at 1, Whitehorse Lane.
Objectives and Activities
Our PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our 'St Alban's Church family'. The Church Year was kept according to the Universal calendar and its Feasts and Fasts were observed. A 2025 Parish Diaty was published which, although saw changes, resulted in a busy year for the congregation as we celebrated 1 , 700 years of the Nicene Creed and had a themed year of the 'Year of Faith.'

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Review of the Year
The year 2025 was designated as a Year of Faith, marking the 1 , 700th anniversary of the Nicene Creed. This significant milestone contributed greatly to the life, worship, and witness of the parish, shaping preaching, teaching, and formation across the year. This was reflected
not only in the theological focus of sermons and courses, but also in the many events, pilgrimages, and liturgical celebrations outlined in this report.
The year began, as is our custom, with the Watch Night Service, which was once again well attended and spiritually uplifting. What follows is a detailed account of the parish's life and work, including key dates, events, and developments that have marked this year of faith.
1 Worship and Liturgical Life
St Alban's continues to place the Mass at the centre of its common life. The parish strives to offer a service every day of the week. The said Mass is celebrated at 10:00am on weekdays, and on Saturdays the Rosary at 1 1 •.30am—usually led by lay members—is followed by Mass at 12 noon. When clergy are unavailable and cover cannot be secured, the Rosary or Morning
Prayer is faithfully led by members of the congregation, reflecting the parish's shared commitment to prayer and worship.
The Sunday 10:00am Parish Mass remains the beating heart of the parish, drawing the community together week by week in the Eucharist.
The year commenced with the Watch Night Service. Candlemas was celebrated with particular joy, especially through the active participation of children in the Christingle service. The observance of Lent began on Ash Wednesday (5 March) with Solemn Mass and the imposition of ashes. Throughout Lent, the parish benefited from a series of guest preachers, including an ordinand, the Bishop of Southwark, the Bishop of Fulham, and Fr Jothi. In addition, a parish Lent course exploring the Creed was held following Sunday Masses, fostering theological reflection and discussion.
Holy Week was observed with great reverence and drew record attendance. This marked the first Holy Week fully celebrated by Fr Joshua following his ordination, with Fr Sean offering a series of sermons centred on the Nicene Creed. The Easter Vigil was especially joyful, including the baptism of a member of the congregation.
The liturgical year continued with faithful observance of key festivals, including All Saints, All
Souls, Remembrance Sunday, and concluded with Christ the King, marked by Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Advent and Christmas were particularly rich, featuring an Advent Carol Service, weekly formation sessions, and well-attended Christmas liturgies including the Crib Service, Midnight Mass, and Christmas Day Mass.
2 Mission and Outreach
A major development in the parish's outreach was the launch of Toddler Tuesday on 21 January. This weekly initiative has transformed the church space into a welcoming environment for young children and their carers, offering play, crafts, refreshments, and
Christian storytelling. Attendance has consistently ranged between 30 and 70 participants, and the initiative has significantly strengthened connections with local families. The PCC records its sincere thanks to Tammy and her family for their leadership in establishing this ministry.
Throughout 2025, the parish has also seen a notable increase in attendance and engagement through its wider outreach activities, including the Foodbank, Community Hub, and FoodCycle. Since its launch last year, the Community Hub has become a vibrant and wellused space within the church, consistently filled with activity and fellowship. The church continues to serve as a beacon of light within the local community.
There is now a growing number of regular attendees who participate consistently in these outreach ministries, alongside new individuals and families accessing the church's facilities each week. Importantly, each of these outreach activities is rooted in worship, being preceded by the celebration of the Mass. In this, the parish is fed and formed in Christ, and sent out to serve others in His name. It is our prayer that these ministries will continue to flourish and be a blessing to all who encounter them.
The parish also hosted a Family Fun Day in July, which further strengthened community links, particularly with families connected through Toddler Tuesday. Participation in the Open
House Festival in September enabled many visitors to engage with the history and life of the church. Harvest Festival (28 September) saw a generous response from local schools, nurseries, and deanery churches, resulting in substantial contributions to the parish foodbank
3 Pilgrimage, Formation, and Events
The parish maintained a strong commitment to pilgrimage and formation. The children's pilgrimage to Walsingham (7-9 March) was a great success, with children participating actively in worship and learning.
A further sign of growing engagement among younger members was seen when young adults from the parish joined the Adoremus Pilgrimage to Walsingham (22-24 November), demonstrating a deepening commitment to the spiritual life of the Church.
The annual parish pilgrimage later in the year was similarly well attended and marked by spiritual renewal, with Fr Joshua leading for the first time.
A Lenten Quiet Day at Chaldon Church (22 March) provided an opportunity for reflection and prayer. In June, the Patronal Festival (21 June) was celebrated with the Bishop of Richborough presiding, alongside a theological address by Dr Sonia Dore.
The Fulham Festival at Southwark Cathedral was a particular highlight, with the parish presenting 1 1 candidates for Confirmation—the largest group among participating parishes.
4 Clergy and Lay Ministry
This year has seen notable developments in ministry:
- Fr Jothi Prasad was licensed with Permission to Officiate in the Diocese of Southwark
Dayo Olomu was commissioned and licensed as a Lay Reader following a period of discernment and training
Both have already contributed meaningfully to the liturgical and teaching life of the parish. Fr Sean undertook a sabbatical from October to December, a period which provided rest and renewal, During this time, Fr Joshua assumed full responsibility for parish leadership and is to be commended for his dedication and capable oversight of parish life.
5 Children and Youth Work
The parish has continued to invest in children and youth ministry. In addition to Toddler Tuesday, activities included a pilgrimage, an adventure day at Carroty Wood (28 October), and a series of summer events in collaboration with local churches. These initiatives have strengthened relationships and encouraged participation among younger members.
A particular highlight was the Toddler Tuesday Nativity (16 December), which involved a large number of children and families, including participation from local schools.
6 Community Life and Fellowship
The parish has maintained a vibrant community life. Events such as the Black History Month celebration (12 October), African-Caribbean afternoon, parish social gatherings, and the hosting of a pantomime production ("Aladdin") have enriched fellowship and broadened community engagement.
The birth of Freddie Gilbert (5 August) was also a joyful occasion shared across the parish community.
- 7 Wider Church Context
The parish joined the wider Church in mourning the death of Pope Francis (21 April) and in prayer following the election of Pope Leo (8 May). Prayers for Christian unity and for the Holy Father continue to form part of the parish's intercessions.
8 Church Statistics
Usual Sunday Attendance
Although it's a small decrease, we are lower in our average Sunday statistics compared to previous years. That being said, the average is steady, with joiners and leavers happening throughout the year.

Children
----- End of picture text -----
The number of children for our usual Sunday attendance and the worshipping
community has gone slightly up and down over the years, but reasonably steady.
However, as you can see the number of children in the week has shot up! This is due to our Toddler Tuesday ministry and it counts as a 'Fresh Expression' of Church as we conclude with a Christian story and prayer.
9 Pastoral Care
1 )Some members of our Parish and worshipping community are unable to attend church due to sickness, mobility issues and other reasons.
2) The Thursday morning coffee morning hosted by the Mothers' Union has changed to a
Community Hub. This continues to help those who are most vulnerable in our community. 3) The charity FoodCycIe Thornton Heath which uses our hall was also a designated warm space and offers a free 3 course meal and trained counsellors if required.
4) Live-streaming continues to be a good way for those who are unable to attend the parish mass, either because they have moved, away on holiday, or, more importantly, sick or housebound.
10 Social Media
All Sunday services were livestreamed along with major festivals that fell within the week. We also livestreamed funerals if requested by the family.
Bible Study continued to be on Zoom as did the Safeguarding Committee meetings. The weekly e-bulletin and regular WhatsApp alerts are still very much in use.
1 1 Croydon North Deanery Synod
Deanery Synods are the level of representation within the Church of England in between parishes (Parochial Church Councils) and dioceses (Diocesan Synods). St Albans church lies within the geographical area of North Croydon Deanery and its Synod.
Each parish in the deanery sends a number of representatives to the Synod depending upon the size of their congregations. At the last elections, St Alban's has about 100 people on its Electoral Roll, so we were entitled to send three representatives. Elections are held every three years and in 2023 Maria Virtue, Rose Okomi and Peter Conliffe were elected as our representatives.
The Synod is chaired by the Area Dean and an elected lay chairman. The Synod meets four times a year and discusses questions of common concern to all the parishes.
Examples of subjects discussed were the implementation of policies issued by the Diocese, safeguarding, clergy staffing, training of clergy and laity, working with Croydon Citizens, or opportunities for economies by combining parish resources. Guest speakers are also invited to address the Synod on matters of religious or social interest.
12Diocesan Synod
Ekundayo Olomu is a member of the Southwark Diocesan Synod and as such is an advocate for the interests and concerns of the Croydon North Deanery. The Diocesan Synod has formulated the Southwark Vision 2024-2035 which is very much focussed on being Christ
Centred and Outward Focussed using the shared values of joy, justice, hope, love, community, humility and hospitality. St Alban's has adopted the vision for Southwark diocese as our own which helps focus all our prayer and good works.
13 Anti- Racism, Diversity, & Inclusivity
During 2025, St Alban's continued its active participation in the Diocese of Southwark's work on the Anti-Racism Charter, reflecting our commitment to fostering a more inclusive and just church community. Members of the congregation regularly engaged with diocesan-led Zoom
10
meetings, contributing to shared learning, discussion, and the development of practical actions aligned with the Charter's principles. This ongoing involvement has supported greater awareness within the parish of issues relating to racial justice, encouraged self-reflection at both individual and institutional levels, and informed steps towards more equitable practices in our worship, governance, and outreach. We remain committed to this work as an integral part of our mission and witness.
14Safeguarding
Safeguarding is very much an important part of our church life and should be embedded in all that we continue to do at St Alban's. As well as having an annual Sunday service dedicated to Safeguarding, (1 6[th ] November 2025), regular prayers at Sunday Mass, and some sermons were linked to Safeguarding stating that as a congregation, we need to be mindful that it is everyone's responsibility to care for all within the church, the Foodbank, the Community Hub and those who give pastoral care outside the church, throughout the year.
2) The PCC takes seriously the welfare of everyone at St Alban's and as such risk assessments for events and outings are reviewed and updated on an annual basis.
Organisations that use our hall must adopt our policies alongside their own. A copy of our Safeguarding policy can be found on the notice board at the back of the church and on the church's website where there is a link to 'A Safe Church' the Diocese's Safeguarding policy htps://southwark.anglican.org/safeguarding/
2) Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Safeguarding Committee met two times this year on Zoom, however there has been continuous contact between the members throughout the year by various means. The Safeguarding Audit Action Plan of 2024, updated in November 2024, continues to be a working document in 2025 reacting to updated regulations which are added/amended by The Church of England and The Charity Commission, as well as events that occur at parish level.
3i) The Church contacted the Diocese's Safeguarding Team for advice/clarification regarding potential safeguarding incidents that occurred, and these were resolved. As a result, some Safeguarding procedures have been made more vigorous.
ii) The Safeguarding Team at Southwark continue to be helpful regarding any queries that involve people, whether known to St Alban's or from the community, volunteering in our
Foodbank and the Community Hub as they are unregulated activities.
iii) St Alban's also has access to Thirtyone:eight for our Disclosure and Barring Service checks and training, advice and guidance. They have produced a dashboard that confirms to us, at St Alban's, the areas that may need to be addressed and worked on.
- 4) The PCC reviews and re-affirms its Safeguarding Policies on an annual basis. PCC members also have access to the mandatory Basic and Foundation Safeguarding training.
5) The PCC has complied with the 2021 General Synod amending the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 ("the 2016 Measure"). It replaced the duty to have due regard to safeguarding guidance with provision for a safeguarding code of practice which may impose requirements on relevant persons, as well as giving guidance to them. A relevant person to whom a requirement applies will be obliged to comply with that requirement.
-
6) It remains to be our practice to have 2 Parish Safeguarding Officers (PSOs). Margaret Earle has responsibility for adults and Shelley Leckey, children and young people. That being said, conversations can be had with either of them.
-
7) If you have any Safeguarding concerns then please speak to either the Vicar, Assistant
Curate, Church Warden or the PSOs.
15Ecumenical Relationships
At the present time there is not a working cluster of local churches. The Good Friday Walk of Witness is the only occasion for ecumenism.
1638th Croydon Brownies Annual Report
Another year has flown past, the girls continue to complete badges, learning about animals and what they eat to how to use different forms of communications. They have continued to assist with the Food Bank, by unpacking all the wonderful Harvest gifts. The girls went to London and South East Region Girlguiding only event called Mayhem where they did loads of different activities from silent disco, dancing, seeing animals and having fun on bouncy castles.
If there are any young girls between 7 and 10 who would like to join us, they would receive a warm welcome.
17 Mother's Union
12
The MU held their 1[st ] meeting on 9[th] January to plan the diary of MU diocesan events of the year.
MU continued to support our Foodbank, sourcing and bagging food on Tuesdays, and manning the foodbank on Wednesdays the foodbank is open to the public. The Foodbank is one of the MU's biggest activities.
On Thursdays, the MU holds a coffee morning during the Community Hub which has attracted many people within
our community who use the Hub to obtain advice in
housing, benefits and other social needs from the Citizen Advice Bureau personnel etc.
Members from St Alban's were present on 12 March when Anne Lowe, MU Diocesan Secretary, marked her retirement at Trinity House after 34 years of service.
Val Green, our MU former leader was awarded with the Lancelot Andrewes medal in recognition of her "Zeal for the Gospel" and it was presented to her by the Bishop of
Southwark on 23[rd ] March. On 24[th ] March, they attended St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Church in London for the Commissioning of the MU Worldwide President. On 29[th ] March, we prepared and tied daffodils for Mothering Sunday on 30[th ] March.
Sadly, the MU lost one of their long-standing members, Lesley Nash whose funeral took place on 2[nd ] April, 2025.
We joined other MU Leaders and Branch Leaders for a meeting at Mary Sumner House on 26
April. St. Alban's MU led the Midday prayers in Southwark Cathedral on Wednesday 28[th] May, 2025.
On 10[th ] July, MU members attended Audrey Reid's 100 years birthday. Audrey has been a member of MU for many years. And on 31[st ] July, we went out to lunch at Harvester, at Beulah Spa.
On 6[th ] August, we joined other MU members from Croydon Deanery to celebrate Mary
Sumner day at St. Mildred's in Addiscombe, with a book swap and cake. All proceeds went to AFIA. On the 29[th ] members attended the funeral of MU Trustee, Sally Steele at St
Dunstan's,Cheam.
MU Diocesan President, Penny Lockhead visited our MU branch on 9[th ] September; and at the meeting, Dayo gave a talk about his journey becoming a Lay Reader. On 20[th ] September, our MU sponsored walk raised E630 for AFIA.
13
On 1 1 October, we attended Southwark Dioceses MU Members' meeting held at St Andrew's Church, Ham.
Our AGM took place on 23[rd ] October 2025, where the accounts were presented, signed by Fr. Joshua and all officers were re-elected.
The MU Advent Service took place on 15[th ] December, at St. Mildred's Church, Addiscombe.
We have 16 members at present. During summer months, we meet every 2nd Monday of each month at 6.30 pm. In the Autumn and Winter months we meet every 2nd Thursday of each month at 10.45 am.
The year finished with MU Christmas Carols at Fr. Joshua's residence with readings, mince pies and sherry.
18Pastoral Assistant
We said goodbye to Tristan on Easter Sunday 2025. We benefitted greatly from his presence and are delighted that he was recommended to study for the priesthood. He began training in
September 2025 and we hear that he is enjoying his studies. Please keep him in your prayers.
19Foodbank
St Alban's foodbank continues to be open every Wednesday of the year since it started in October 2022, except where Christmas or New Year holidays fall on a Wednesday.
Over the course of 2025, we gave out nearly 2,300 bags of food, an average of 44 per week. This means that over the course of the year we have provided around 5,700 meals to people who came to us because they potentially didn't have any food to put on the table. These figures are slightly lower than in 2024, although we have noticed a significant rise in numbers over the last few weeks before Christmas 2025. At Christmas and Easter we give an additional treat to foodbank guests plus an invitation to church services.
We also operate a clothes bank which has proved popular with foodbank users who often need more than just food.
The operation of the foodbank is supported by a strong team of committed volunteers from the church and outside, and who we are blessed to have. Our foodbank's bedrock is the tremendous support of our congregation - without the support of our congregation we would not have a foodbank. We continue to receive very generous and regular support
14
from other churches in the deanery. We also receive anonymous donations from local people, so the foodbank provides a vehicle for those outside of the church to express their care and generosity to the community in Thornton Heath and South Norwood.
20 Community Coffee Morning and Advice Hub
The Community Coffee Morning, run by the Mothers' Union, takes place every Thursday (1 lam to 1 pm) at the same time as the Advice Hub and is open to everyone. We often have regular members of the congregation at the Community Coffee Morning so why not come along some time for something warm to drink and a chat?
St Alban's Church continues to host the Advice Hub every Thursday. The Advice Hub is an initiative led by Lambeth & Croydon Foodbank (part of Trussell Trust) and enables people to either pick up food parcels or speak to Citizens Advice Croydon to obtain advice on benefits, housing etc.
The advice hub can be attended by anyone who is a resident of Croydon Borough, not just those attending the foodbank. We have seen increasing numbers of people attending the advice hub. St Alban's has also used this as an opportunity to invite other organisations to be at the hub to provide advice and guidance. This year these organisations have been Croydon Hearing, Croydon Community Energy and the RSPCA.
21 RIP
Sadly, this year we laid several long-standing members of the Church to rest: Veronica Corbett, Jomo Macauley, Lesley Nash and Samuel Ibiotye. May they rest in peace. Amen
22 Church Choir
The Choir has continued to serve as a vital pillar of our liturgical life. Over the past year, the choir has not only enhanced our weekly worship services but has also grown in membership and community outreach. We currently have 12 active members. While the year was successful, we have identified areas for growth paticulalrly Youth Integration. A key goal for next year is the "Junior Choir Growth" program to encourage younger parishioners to join the choir, along with a couple of "Open Day" events or on-going connection to our local schools.
23 The Church Hall
15
-
The Church Hall generates income that subsidises the church's expenses. We are fortunate that we are able to hire it out on a regular basis to various organisations; these being:
-
i) Litle Ann Nursery uses the upper hall all year round as a Nursery.
ii) MiniChampions is located in the main hall first thing in the morning and after school as a Breakfast and After School Club. During the school holidays they operated as a holiday club and children come from all over the borough.
iii) FoodCycle cooks a 3-course vegetarian meal for anyone who wishes to come along on a Saturday lunchtime. The volunteers not only serve food, but provide companionship and, in the winter months, a warm space.
iv) Ironsides Elite Systems continue to meet on a Tuesday evening, the Brownies every Monday evening in term time; Euphoric Harmony every other week on a Sunday, again during term time. Fire Fountain is in the hall on a Sunday evening. We still hire the hall out for one off events. Certain community groups, such as THCAT use the hall at no charge.
- General maintenance e.g., changing of light bulbs, clearing gutters, plumbing etc was carried out as and when necessary. Annual inspections and services took place per usual. The smoke alarms are tested every 6 months and the emergency lights monthly.
The hand driers in the toilets were not very efficient and so were replaced in December with far more efficient ones, both in drying time and use of electricity. The sensor lights in the passage way between hall and church were converted to LED and some into emergency lights in May.
- As part of the London Ambulance Heartstarters Campaign, a defibrillator is now available to the community in our car park. The installation was funded by LAS along with sundries for the next 5 years. All we need to provide is electricity and someone to check that all is in working order.
Many thanks must go to Tammy Sprosen, our Hall Manager, for liaising with all the various groups that use the hall.
24 Electoral Roll
This was completely renewed in 2025.
16
As expected, the number fell, but rather more dramatically than envisaged from 106 to 79 as several of the regular congregation were away during the revision period. However, some of our members of the congregation have died and with some families moving out of the area and no longer attending, the new families that joined the church but did not meet the qualifying time of 6 months before the new roll was published.
Conclusion
The year has been one of considerable blessing and growth. St Alban's Church continues to demonstrate:
-
Faithfulness in worship and sacramental life
-
Commitment to mission and outreach
-
Investment in formation and discipleship
-
Strong and developing leadership, both ordained and lay
Fr Sean's return at Epiphany 2026 was marked by thanksgiving for a parish that remains active, joyful, and committed to proclaiming the Gospel, with particular gratitude expressed for Fr Joshua's leadership during his absence.
The PCC expresses its sincere thanks to all who have contributed to the life of the Church over the past year and looks forward with confidence to the year ahead.
FINANCIAL REPORT
1 Financial Review
1 . i) The church financial year ended 31/12/25 with the balance of the current account standing at E37,688.68. The Business Reserve account where most of our restricted funds (these are monies that can only be spent on specific projects eg Children's Ministry) are held stood at ii) St Alban's church had an income in 2025 of E55,201 (compared to E53,513 in 2024) and day to day running costs of E 77,825 (compared to E65, 183 last year). The rise in expenditure is due to many factors but the main reasons were the increase in energy and water bills, hospitality and architect's fees for proposed building works. The above figures do not include our restricted funds.
iii) We do hold savings of E45,864.00 (with many of these being restricted) plus 2 other investments accounts having a market value of El 04,824 at the end of 2025. It would be prudent to keep our savings in tact as the church roof will need major work in a few years time.
iii) It should be noted that the hall brought in more than was spent on it resulting in a surplus of E26, 155.89 and so continues to subside the church's expenditure.
-
2) Fundraising was slightly down this year.
-
3) Grants were applied for mainly for missional purposes and we were fortunate in securing some very generous grants. Such activities would not be able to happen if these grants were not forthcoming.
We were awarded a total of El 1 ,218.00 grants, made up of the following:
| Grant Awarding Body | Grant | For |
|---|---|---|
| Croydon Area Mission Fund 2025 |
E3000.oo | Carroty Wood / Panto / Music Ministry |
18
| Swaby Fund | 200.00 | Towards cost of travel to Natonal Pilgrimage |
|---|---|---|
| E400.oo | Towards cost of coach for Parish Pilgrimage |
|
| WCTA (Walsingham) | 218.00 | Towards cost of travel for Children's Pilgrimage |
| Society of Mary | E300.oo | Towards cost of travel to Natonal Pilgrimage |
| E600.oo | Towards cost of travel for Parish Pilgrimage |
|
| E500.OO | Towards cost of stay for 4 pilgrims at Adoremus |
|
| Fellowship of St John the Evangelist |
Elooo.oo E1250.OO |
Children's Corner refurbishment Cost of stay at Children's Pilgrimage |
| ssc | E350.OO | Youth Pilgrimage |
| S London Church Small Grants |
E900.oo | Supportng Toddler Tuesday |
| South London Church Fund | 2500.00 | Towards cost of architect's fees for proposed building works |
We are often not awarded the amount we apply for.
It must not be taken for granted that in the future we will receive such generous subsidies for any of our activities or projects.
4) Charity Commission
The PCC's application to register with Charity Commission was granted on 6 January 2025. 5) Every parish has to contribute to the Parish Share Fund. PCCs pledge the amount they will pay the following year in the preceding September. The PSF paid in 2025 was
E27,798.00 with the Diocese asking for a 5.7% increase for 2026. The PCC unanimously decided that the pledge be increased to E29,383.00 for 2026 (E2448.58 per month). This larger than usual increase was to enable the clergy stipend to be restored to its 201 1 value.
2. Reserves Policy
The PCC is aware that it is best practice to try to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds which equates to at least 3 months unrestricted payments. Three months at E 7,500.00 per month is E22,500.00. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. This year, we were able to comfortably maintain this.
19
3. Stewardship
i) Stewardship is a role everyone can, and in fact should, take part in. It is the gift of giving regularly to the mission and ministry of the parish. St Alban's is very fortunate that there are many in the congregation who give generously either weekly or monthly depending on their preferred method of giving; however, there is a significant minority who do not.
ii) Actual giving (including donations) was down this year by E5,575.00. It only looks as if it increased because the Gift Aid claimed was for much of 2024 as well as 2025 as we did not claim while we were applying to become a charity. Regular giving is vital to the church as it helps with our cash flow.
4. Donations and legacies
i) The PCC received a generous donation of E 10,000.00 ii) No legacies were received. As it says in Proverbs, 'The good leave an inheritance to their children's children.' (Chap 13:22). The congregation of 40-50 years ago did just this. Will the next generation be able to thank us for doing the same?
Conclusion
The running costs outweighed the income received and thankfully with the surplus from the hall this resulted in the deficit being only E80.00. With an expensive building work project coming up and the possibly of not being able to claim the VAT back on the work done, we do need to encourage regular inflation linked giving, fundraise and apply for grants.
Thank you to those who have given - and continue to give. The PCC are very grateful to those members of the congregation who purchase items for church and do not ask for their costs to be re-imbursed. This generosity does have a significant and positive impact on the church's finances.
THE FABRIC OF THE CHURCH
1 . The Fabric Committee which was established at the end of August 2024 to review the building works listed for attention in the 2023 QQI (Quinquennial Inspection) along with one or two other projects worked diligently throughout the year. This hard work resulted in:
i) the carpet in the church was replaced during the months of October and November ii) the organ was permanently installed and the speakers put on the walls at the end of
November.
20
iii) a specification of works or brickwork and stonework repairs plus other works was agreed by the PCC in December. The architect was instructed to send the document out to tender. Other works in this document include:
a) The step at the main entrance is still proving challenging and following a visit by the Church Architect, has now become a priority due to Health & Safety issues. The architect has drawn up an alternative plan to make the entrance as safe as it can be within its present constraints.
b) An investigation into the flooding of the vestries iv) The PCC agreed that all 3 non-working radiators should be replaced. Work was scheduled for October but due to unforeseen circumstances on the manufacturers part this was postponed to January 2026.
v) the Children's Corner was given a make-over with new furniture and furnishings. The cost was mainly covered by a generous grant of El 000 from the Fellowship of St John the Evangelist.
The project to upgrade the sound system is still in its initial stages.
- Other works outside of the Fabric Committee's remit that were carried out included:
i) a sensor in the porch was installed in March. When activated this illuminates the church entrance and the nave so that visitors can enter and depart safely. The sensor is timed for 20 minutes during the period 24 October to 24 April.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST ] DECEMBER 2025
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS/TRUSTEES OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST ALBAN THE MARTYR SOUTH NORWOOD IN THE DIOCESE OF SOUTHWARK
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2025 which are set out on pages 2 to 7.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner
The charity's trustees consider 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
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent 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 disclosure in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the management committee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent Examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention
-
1 which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with s.130 of the 2011 Act; or to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records have not been met:
-
2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
