Risk Assessment The PCC has considered the major risks to which the Church may be subject, and appropriate systems have been put in place to manage and mitigate those risks. A rolling schedule ol annual risk assessments is supplemented by ad-hoc risk assessments for individual or one-off activilies. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Overview Benson PCC has the responsibility for co-operating wrth the incumbent (the Revd Dr Patrick Gilday) and the Associate Priest {the Revd Marion Harrison, from her licensing on 3° April 2025} in promoting the ecclesiastical parish of Benson, the whole mission ol the Church, pastoral. evangelistic. and social. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of St Helen's Church, Church Road, Benson, OX10 6SF" the Canons, Room, Church Road, Benson, OX10 6SF; and the two churchyards on either side of Church Road in Benson (maintenance responsibility for the churchyard on the southern side of Church Road was transferred in April 2024, following closure). The PCC is committed to enabling the residents of the ecclesiastical parish of Benson to worship God rightly, in spirit and in truth. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes proposals for the ways in which divine seNice at St Helen's can seNe the needs of all those who live in the parish. When planning the PCC'S activities for 2026, we have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We try to enable all residents of the ecclesiastical parish of Benson to live as witnesses to the love of God in Christ through- • Worship and prayer., leaming about the Gospel- and deepening their reliance in Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God., • The provision of spiritual and pastoral care for people who live in the ecclesiastical parish. and • Mission and outreach work. In order to facilitale this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of St Helen's Church and the Canons, Room, together with the two churchyards in Benson. Report of the PCC'S Activities Leah Bevan In 2025 the PCC has followed the usual time scale., meeting six times during the year. Three of these meetings, January. March and November were held virtually on Zoom, and the meetings in June, July and September were held in person. Two Churchwardens, three Deanery Synod Representatives and a small team of PCC members have shown a willingness to work together with Fr Patrick, and with the Revd. Marion Harrison who ofliciated for the first lime in St Helen's Church on 18. May 2025, to ensure all those who enter the church either as known congregation members or visitors, feel welcomed, well looked after and inspired by worship inclusive of all ages, where we all learn and develop an understanding of how lo be true disciples of Jesus Christ. During 2025, the PCC have had some difficult decisions to make. in the back of every PCC membefs mind and at each PCC meeting, is the realisation that our church buildings are a precious gift from those who have gone before us in the Christian faith and that there are challenges and responsibilities to be consid&red very carefully, when caring for historic buildings. The PCC, with excellent guidance and directlon from the Treasurer, conlinues to regularly monitor the financial situation ol the Church, ensuring we cover all our local costs in running services and other activities, healing and lighting and maintaining our building and Garing for its grounds in

addition to paying our share to the diocese towards the support and payment of the clergy. The PCC is extremely grateful to all those who are able lo make regular or one-off donations to the work of St Helen's and to those people who have supported any Event or Fundraising Activity held in Church during the past year, including the Christmas Tree Festival, which was well attended by many members of the local community as well as visitors from further afield. January 2025 finally saw the completion of the repair of the link corridor roof to the Canons, Room and the replacement of the hopper and drainpipe that had been dislodged the previous January by high winds. Feeling a little more in control now that water was not entering the building, the new PCC elected at the APCM in March concentrated on registering with the Charity Commission, looking into developing a web presence, installing WIFI in the Canons, Room, introducing a card reader into church, replacing tho halogen spotlights in the Chancel and Aisles to LEDS and having PIR motion senor installed in the toilets (paid for, in a large part thanks to a 'Quick Win, grant from the Diocese and the Listed Places of Worship VAT Grant Scheme). Unfortunately, after a very dry hot summer. and then heavy down pours of rain in the Autumn, we end 2025 in the same way that we ended 2024, with another leaking roof above the kitchen and Canons, Room. Recent heavy rain has found its way through gaps in the flat roof, with an ugly stain running down the wall of the kitchen and with a risk of further damage to the labric if the roof is not repaired. As a PCC we are extremely lucky to have some very capable, knowledgeable and enthusiastic individuals who are focusing on looking at a strategic focus on a sustainable future for the building. whist working alongside oth8r PCC members and volunteers, maintaining and repairing the building both inside and out as per the recommendations of the Quinquennial Inspection 2023. The initial objective of this Future Sustainability Working Group is to obtain seed funding for a feasibility study into improving the heating in the church and Canons, Room. The PCC continues to take care of the historic churchyard surrounding the church and are grateful lo the mowing team for keeping this area a place of natural beauty for the community and visitors that it serves. It offers a tranquil space for peace and quiet reflection and is home to a rich diversity of trees, plants and animal life. PCC members continue to look forward to working alongside each other, sharing resources. knowledge and skills whilst striving towards the common purpose of renewing and implementing tho whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. Elecloral Roll Officer's Report Leah Bevan The Electoral Roll was opened for revisions following the statutory notice period on 7th February 2026 and the period lor revisions closed on 27, February 2026. The revised Floll has been posted in church for fourteen days prior to the APCM. Following the revision there are 93 individuals on the Electoral Roll of the parish. One person has died, and 16 new names have been added. This Electoral Roll figure entitles the APCM to elect up to nine members of the PCC. and up to three lay representatives to the Deanery Synod.

As detailed in the financial statements for 2025, total receipts in unrestricted funds were £93,126 compared to £81,699 for 2024 (2024 included an £2k legacy and 2025 included two legacies amounling to £15k of which £10k remains in designated funds). The £5k legacy was used towards roof repairs. Our regular giving (excluding tax refund and legacies) increase(J slightly year on year (YOY) by circa £2.7k to £50,025 due totally to Ihe one-off donations received following Patrick's plea to get us into surplus lor the year, please see below graphs.

Many thanks to the events and fundraising team and all the people who supported the many events that took place. Fee income was down vs prior year by £1.9k to £5.092. Rental income (Canons Room) and contribution to heating and lighting were similar to 2024 at £2,252. A total of £83,235 was spent to provide the Chrislian ministry from St Helen's up circa £8.1 k from 2024 which was £75,088. The main drivers of Ihe variance is an increase in Parish Share of £2.2k {this is actually less than expected as we had a rebate for the House for Duty vacancy, expenditure in Repairs & Maintenance of £5.6k (although we did have a legacy of £5k which thankfully covered the bulk of knisl and expenditure on trees in the churchyard of £1.6k as insufficient funds at the time in restricted churchyard. We also benefiled from less than expected healing bills as the meler wasn't working driving a saving lo forecast of circa £1.2k. Our Parish Share for 2025 was £61,514 and our Parish Share for 2026 is £66.7k some increase 01 £5.2k.

We were very fortunate that income was up against budget by £11.3k however this did include some one-time income such a £5k legacy (the £1 Ok legacy isn'l included here as in designated funds) and tho one-time donations following Patrick's plea. Total expenses tor the year came in over budget by circa £3.6k as explained previously due to the roof repairs and tree work less sav(ngs in heating and parish share. We are very fortunate thal St Helens is so well supported through the generosity of the people that give to our church either through regular giving or donations or by supporting the many fundraising events.

Outlook lor 2026 11 is always difficult to budget for a Church given there are so many variables. Based on analysis in November 2025 the total expenditure budget for 2025 is £79.741. This equales to £1,533 each week to meet the basic operating costs and to provide the range of activities that make up the life of our church. Our budget for income is £70,750 based on lalest information and analysis. In summary our budgeted delicil for the year is £8,991. There are some costs already for 2026 that are outside of the budget such as work required to fix roof leaks and Parish Share coming in higher than expected. The PCC will monitor the income and expanditure situation throughoul the year and consider whether it is possible or prudenl for us to continue paying the lull amounl of the Parish

Share requested by the Deanery in 2026 and future years. Sadly, if we are unable to pay our requested Parish Share longer term, then eventually this may lead to a reduction in ministry across the benefice. As mentioned above, thanks to all our givers through whatever method for being so generous. The PCC is extremely grateful for the loyal support received from our congregation in 2025. We would like lo thank all those who give of their resources. time and taler7ts and all who contribute lo Ihe mlssion of St Helen's. ReseNes Policy 1 The PCC acknowledges that donations made to the Church should be used to further its charitable objeclives, but that good stewardship requires some funds to be held in reserve for Ihe eff icient running of the Church. 2 The PCC endeavours lo keep three to six months of running costs in unreslricted reservas to a) provide working capital and b) to cover untoreseen expenditure. Based on the budgeted expenditure for 2026 this is £20.000- £40,000. 3 Should larger sums of money be required for urgent building works or other unexpected expenditure, a fundraising campaign will be sel up. 4 Shoul(J the unréstrictod reseNes fall below the lower limit or above the upper limit, the PCC will takè action as required. 5 This policy will be reviewed annually or as required due to a change in circumstances.
