**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~** 

## **Aims and purposes** 

St Lawrence Parochial Church Council (the PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the Vicar in “ _promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical”._ 

In addition to its Church building and closed churchyard (which has an area for the interment of cremated remains) the PCC is also responsible for the maintenance of the School Rooms adjacent to the Church which are used for a range of community and church activities. 

## PCC Achievements and performance. 

## _Objectives and activities:_ 

## _**Major Building Repairs**_ 

Following the Quinquennial survey in 2021 the need for the lead on the South Aisle to be replaced was identified. In 2022 the PCC started a “Roof Restoration” project to raise £100,000 to cover the cost of the works. 

By the Autumn of 2024 this target had been reached as a result of many fund-raising initiatives, the generosity of local people and successful applications to grant-making bodies, the PCC had raised sufficient funds to proceed, A specialist Contractor was appointed to undertake the works and, following receipt of all the necessary consents, works commenced on the roof on 15th September 2025. All the works were completed on 18th November 2025 when a commemorative plaque was placed on the roof, replacing a previous one from works undertaken in 1954. 

Thanks are expressed to all those who contributed to the costs of the work in any way and particular gratitude is expressed to the grant making bodies for their generosity: 

The Northampton Historic Churches Trust £10,000.00 The Wolfson Foundation (via the National Churches Trust) £5,000.00 The Buckby Feast Committee £1,000.00 



## _Matters considered by the PCC_ 

Over the past year the PCC met six times and the main items considered were: 

- Adopted a Code of Conduct for PCC meetings 

- Works to the South Aisle of the Church Building 

- Programme of works to the Tower 

- 2026 Budget 

- Improved Internet connections to the Church Building 

- The Community Shelf and Community Larder (see below) 

- A possible Benefice Council 

- Fund Raising Events 

- Churchyard Noticeboards 

- Format of the Benefice-wide 2025 Annual Parochial Church Meeting 

- Changes to the delivery of Children’s work 

- 2026 Quinquennial Inspection 

## _Safeguarding_ 

The PCC continues to monitor its Safeguarding Policy and complied with its duty under the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have regard to the House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults) particularly following the publication of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse investigation into the Church of England report. 

The post of Safeguarding Officer for all four parishes within the Benefice is held by Julie Mousley. 

All members of the PCC are required to undertake Safeguarding Training appropriate to their respective roles and have all completed the training required 

## _Standing Committee_ 

The PCC is required to have a Standing Committee which has met as necessary over the past months, membership of the Standing Committee is the Vicar, the Churchwarden(s), the PCC Treasurer, the PCC Secretary, Richard Howard and Graham Simpson. 



## _Ecumenical relationships_ 

We continue to meet as Churches Together in Long Buckby with the local Baptist and URC churches. The Vicar and a representative from each of the other two churches met together four times during 2025. 

The three churches work together as an Open the Book team, going into Long Buckby Infant and Junior schools each Monday afternoon of term time telling a Bible story and a life lesson and prayer based on that story. 

During the Easter Season the three churches held a joint Walk of Witness on Good Friday ending at the URC church where refreshments are service. We held a joint prayer walk around Long Buckby village in June 2025. 

During 2025 we welcomed a new Baptist Minister, Matt Levett, who was invited to preach at the Remembrance Sunday service. 

The churches produce an annual Christmas card to the village with a short Christmas message and an invitation to all of the Christmas events and services in all three churches. 

## _Community Activities_ 

For several years the Church has operated a “Community Shelf” which provides food and other essential items on a “take as needed” basis. 

In 2025, this was expanded in conjunction with Food for Thought to operate a weekly Community Larder, initially for a trial period of six weeks during the School Summer Holidays. The trial demonstrated that there was a real need for affordable food to be provided for some households, whilst other members are passionals about reducing food waste. The main supply of food comes from FareShare, the largest charity coin the UK redistributing surplus food, mainly from the large supermarket chains. 

Support for the Larder has also come from the Long Buckby Parish Council who have awarded grants to pay for a proportion of the FareShare costs both 2025 and 2026. 

The weekly operation relies on Sheila Robertson and her team of dedicated volunteers, many of whom are members of the Church. 

More than 100 households are now registered as members. In addition to the provision of food additional support is offered to members 



through a monthly visit by a volunteer from the Community Law Project who offers free legal advice and by members of the Housing team who are able to offer assistance with housing problems. 

This is now operated under the control of a separate Board of Management with a majority of members appointed by the PCC. 

The Annual Village Remembrance Sunday service was held as usual with a United Service in the Church followed by the National 2 minutes Silence and wreath laying at the Village War Memorial in the Churchyard. We were delighted to welcome one of the Deputy Lord Lieutenants for Northamptonshire, Miranda Wixon, who laid a wreath on behalf of His Majesty the King. 

## _**Financial Report**_ See separate report. 

## _Financial Reserve Policy_ 

It is PCC policy to maintain a cash balance which equates to 3 months unrestricted payments. During 2023 this required the PCC to formally resolve to withhold part of the final quarterly payment of the Parish Share to ensure that adequate reserves were available. 

## _Volunteers_ 

We would like to thank all those volunteers who are actively invoked in making our Church the lively and vibrant community which it is. 

## _Structure, Governance and Management_ 

The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England and operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure and the Church Representation Rules 2020.(CRR) 

The PCC is a Registered Charity and all PCC Members are Charity Trustees The method of appointment/election of PCC members is set out in the CRR 2020 and at St Lawrence’s the membership of the PCC consists of the Vicar, two Churchwardens, Reader (Ex-officio following a previous resolution at the APCM), nine elected members and two Deanery Synod representatives. 

The Churchwardens are elected annually at the Annual Meeting of Parishioners and the other PCC members and the Deanery Synod representatives are elected by those members of the congregation who are on the Electoral Roll of the Church. The PCC appoints a Secretary, Treasurer (from its membership) and a Safeguarding Officer (who need not be a member of the PCC). 

PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the Parish including approving an annual Budget and deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. 



All those who share in the life of the Church are encourage to register on the Electoral Roll and to stand for election to the PCC. 

The Parish is part of the United Benefice of Long Buckby with Watford and West Haddon with Winwick. It was established formally in 2011 although the parishes had worked together informally since 2002. 

A ministry team led by the Vicar meets regularly to plan services and a common scheme of readings and themes for preaching across the Benefice. 

The Church Wardens from each of the four parishes meet together with the Vicar to consider closer working across the Benefice. There were four meetings of this group during 2025.

Independent Examinerfs Report to the Trustees of St. Lawrence's Parothial

the following pages.
Respectlve responsibilities of the Trustees and the examiner
The church's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The church's trustee5
consider that an audit is not required for this year under sertion 144121 of the Charities Act 2011 Ithe
2011 Act) and that an independent examination 15 needed.
It is my responsibilty to-
Examine the acwunts (under section 145 of the 2011 Art):
To follow the prO￿dureS laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioners lunder section 14515llbl of the 2011 Act); and
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of Independent Examinerfs report
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 PCC 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 you as 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.
Independent examinerfs statement
In connettion with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act,. and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the
accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met-: or
2 to which, in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Independent Examinerfs Report to the Trustees of St. Lawrence's Parothial
Church Council
I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 31X December 2025. which are set out on
the following pages.
Respectlve responsibilities of the Trustees and the examiner
The church's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The church's trustee5
consider that an audit is not required for this year under sertion 144121 of the Charities Act 2011 Ithe
2011 Act) and that an independent examination 15 needed.
It is my responsibilty to-
Examine the acwunts (under section 145 of the 2011 Art):
To follow the prO￿dureS laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioners lunder section 14515llbl of the 2011 Act); and
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of Independent Examinerfs report
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 PCC 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 you as 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.
Independent examinerfs statement
In connettion with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act,. and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the
accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met-: or
2 to which, in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
