The PCC met on 13 January when the following matters were discussed:

8EQs: Survey feedback from Martin Saxby – improvement but some areas need further consideration.

Pastoral Care: minutes circulated – visits, telephone calls, prayers, cards continuing and needs reviewed at each meeting.

Diocesan Safeguarding policy adopted by PCC.

Mission and Discipleship: No meeting

Buildings and Finance: PCC approved repair of path to vicarage. Food handling course to be undertaken as required. Budgets for youth groups to be considered at next meeting.
