The Parochial Church Council of Littleham cum Exmouth
Annual Report for the year ended 31" December 2025
Aims and Purposes
Littleham cum Exmouth Parochial Church Council (the PCCI has the responsibility of cooperating with the
Team Rector and the Team Vicar in promoting, in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the
Church, pastoral, evangelistit, social and ecumenical. The Parish is part of the M ission Community of
Littleham cum Exmouth with Lympstone and is a United Benefice. The PCC is responsible, amongst many
other things, for the maintenance of St Margaret & St Andrew's Church, Littleham and Holy Trinity
Church, Exmouth. Both these buildings have the status of Parish Churches, within one parish, and both
buildings are Listed Buildings, Grade11
Objectives and Activities
The two church buildings form, in effect, the bases from which the work and worship of the Parish of
Littleham cum Exmouth is carried out, and in which all who wish to, are encouraged to join. When
planning our activities, the PCC has considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, and
in particular the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. Our services and worship
put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. We try to enable people to
live out their faith as part of our Mission Community through:
Worship and prayer: learning about the Gospel, and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus.
Provision of pastoral care for people living In the parish.
Mission and outreach work.
To facilitate thls work, it is vital that we maintain the fabric of the Churches, the NND Room in Littleham,
and the Littleham Hub.
Achievements and Performance
Whilst the 'church' is not about numbers, it may help the reader to understand the document better by
setting the scene, and stating some statistics. The comparative f igures are given for last year. Holy Trinity
Church is referred to as 'Holy Trinity,, and St Margaret & St Andrew's, Littleham simply as 'Littleham'
The number of'participants, at our two churches, when assessed in June 2025, wa5 155, a decrease of 16
from the number in June 2024. These are those whom we land they} consider to be part of the church
familyi and either worship with us at least monthly, or would do so if they were able.

The members of the Ministry Team lead services for different sectors of the community, including three
schools, 'Celebrate Exmouth, (worship with people with learning disabilities), a Civic Service, the RN LI,
and the Royal British Legion.
As ever, we owe a huge debt of gratitude to our retired Clergy and Readers, as without them we could
not undertake half of what we do.
At Littleham the average attendance for 2025 on Sundays was 57. At Holy Trinity the average was 82.
Deanery Synod
Ayesbeare Deanery Synod comprises clergy and lay representatives of the parishes within the Mission
Communities of Littleham cum Exmouth with Lympstone, Raleigh, Withycombe Raleigh and White Cross.
Our parish lay representatives during 2025 were Paul Stock, Keith Moore, Stephen Thomas and Margaret
Elms. Our Rector, Revd Steve Jones was Rural Dean throughout 2025, and Paul Stock was the Lay Chair.
The Synod met in February in Peter Hall, Budleigh Salterton, in July in Littleham Church (for the Summer
Eucharist), and in November in the village hall at Exton. The guest speaker in February was Mr Tim Maylor

Church Fabrlc:
a) Littleham: The church wardens can report that the fabric of the church remains in good condition.
This year has seen the installation of the new infra-red heating system as a result of the fundraising
in the Give to Go Green scheme and the generous contributions of church members.
A recent maintenance survey of the structure of the church by West Access, indicate the building
has no outstanding repairs to attend to.
The church clock has ceased to function. An estimate of £10,000 for repair work ha5 been received
by Smiths of Derby. The possibility of a grant to help with the repair is ongoing.
The gas boiler in the NND room is beyond repair. Rather than replacing it, additional electric
heating has been introduced and the gas supply disconnected.
A new LED light sensor and light has been fitted to the lamp post on the path to the church.
The organ has recently undergone a minor repair and some attention.
Debra Frost and Stephen Thomas
b) Holy Trinity.. The new flagpole finally installed in 2023 had to be removed during 2025 due to
problems discovered during an inspection and the implications that this might give with possible
wind speeds of up to IOOmph around Berry Head. Investigations are proceeding to identify a

The relocated Audio Visual screen in the Chancel is working well and is used now for the monthly
family service amongst other events.
Finally, we are pleased to report all goods and ornaments are in good order.

Mission and Evangelism
Our monthly magazine, 'The Nev continues to have a print-run of some 250 copies, and gives details of
what is coming up, and reports on previous activities. We asked for contributions of £12 per year to
cover the cost of this 20 page magazine. It is also available on-line at our web site:
www.exmouthcoastalchurches.or
The Mission Focus Committee is allocated IO% of the total of our income from regular voSuntary giving
during the previous year, and a list of to whom this money was given in 2025 is given later in this
document. The committee 15 also responsible for arranging, with the consent of the Team Rector, for
visiting speakers to come to tell us about the work of the Societies we are supporting by prayer and
finance. In our Mission Action Plan we have used Bishop Robert's 3 key priorities: 'Growing in Prayer,
Making new Disciples and Serving the People of Devon with Joy,, to guide us in all that we have done.
Other Activities
We continue to publish details of all our activities at the time of the Annual Meeting. Activities range
from bell-ringing to walking and the Thursday Group.
Financial Review
The original budget for 2025 for the General Fund was set at a deficit of over £7,900. It is with a heavy
heart that this proved to be accurate as the actual def icit was £8.026. Expenditure on the General Fund
has exceeded incomo. This is before investment gains of £8,065, and after £3,003 was transferred from
restricted funds for administration and printing costs, and use of Holy Trinty Hall.
This leaves the reserve balance in the General Fund at £85,681,. with £54,608 held a5 capital in
investment stocks, and £31,073 held as cash in the PCC'S bank and deposit accounts.. down from E39.098
at the end of 2024.
Thank you to everyone who has been able to give this year. However, it is concerning to note that
receipts through envelopes, standing orders and the Parish Giving Scheme has f allen from a high of
£127,995 in 2024, to £120,678 in 2025. 1 estimate that about 10 regular givers left the Parish Giving
Scheme during the year. My prayer is that new members are encouraged to join the Scheme in order to
"take up the slack"
Balancing the books" in 2026 will again be difficult. A £11,600 deficit budget has been set on the General
Fund. If this proves to be the case, the General Fund Cash Reserve at the end of 2026 will be under
£20,000. Without an additional injection of cash, consideration will need to be given about our ability to

Scheme during the year, My prayer is that new members are encouraged to join the Scheme in order to

'Balancing the books" in 2026 will again be diff icult. A £11,600 deficit budget has been set on the General
Fund. If this proves to be the case, the General Fund Cash Reserve at the end of 2026 will be under
£20,000. Without an additional injection of cash, consideration will need to be given about our ability to
pay in full our contribution to the Diocesan Common Fund, or continuing the PCC policy of giving 10 per
cent of regular income to mission and charities in future years.
Finally, I would like to give thank5 to Bob Soutter, who has continued to act as Gift Aid Secretary and
Cashier (counting and taking the money to the bank each weekl. His continued support and knowledge
during the year has proved vital to me.
Clive House, PCC Treasurer
Reserves Pollcy
The PCC has resolved to maintain, if possible, a balance on our Unrestricted Fund, which equates to at
least three months, u nre5tricted payments to cover emergencies. The Unrestricted Fund reserve figure at
31st December 2025 was £96,527,. it was £93,782 in 2024.
Overall reserves at 31, December 2025 were £232,008;1£276,869 in 20241, but a significant portion,
£60,244, of these funds are restricted to specific purposes. For example, the Fabric Restricted Fund
balance of £19,247 represents monies held to repair and maintain the fabric of the buildings, and
contribute to the HT organ repair. Over £75,000 of the total is an 'Endowment Fund,, where we cannot
touch the capital
It is our policy to invest any short term surplus funds with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund.
Monies which will be retained for the longer term, or are held under Trust and cannot be spent, are
invested either with the CBF or in M&G Charifund Units, following the lead set by the Exeter Diocesan
Board of Finance. We believe that both have sound ethical policies.
Safeguarding
The PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure
2016 {duty to have regard to House of Bishops, guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).
Volunteers
The members of the PCC would like to thank all the volunteers who work so tirelessly to make our
Churches lively and vibrant communities. Our special thanks go to our Churchwardens.

Revlew of the Year: The Tearn Rector, the Reverend Steve Jones, writes (In hls capacity as Team Rector
of the Littleham cum Exmouth with Lympstone Mission Community)
The year 2025 was, again, a very busy one for our parishes. A significant event for the diocese in January
was the retirement of Bishop Jackie Searle, Bishop of Crediton. In July, however, we were very pleased to
welcome the Rt. Rev'd Moira Astin, as our new Bishop of Crediton. In 2025 Bishop ivloira made a
signif icant impact in her half of the diocese, including attending many church services and events across
East Devon, and making special trips to Exmouth to meet Re¢d Benedict and me, as well as visiting our
chaplain at Exmouth Community College.
During 2025 we have continued to hold Sunday services in each of our three churches, with the
contemporary services known as Awake Church (Littlehaml and The Journey (Lympstonel taking place on
the first and third Sundays of the month. Common Worship services have taken place on the other
Sundays, and each Sunday at Holy Trinity. In January we decided to continue with our trial Hygge Church
family service, which was meeting at 4.00 pm on the first Sunday of the month. In January we decided to
add a second monthly meeting called Hygge Hangout, which is a soft playlprayer experiencelafternoon
tea rneeting. This happens at 4.00 pm on the third Sunday of the month. This interactive service is
focused upon reaching families with young children. We have a150 continued to offer a Wednesday
morning Holy Communion service that rotates weekly around the Mission Community. Attendance at our
Services across both parishes has remained generally strong.
During the year we have continued to work closely with our three Church of England schools. Littleham
school has been through some particularly difficult times this year, and we have been there as a church
community, every step of the way, to support and help them. Lympstone school's head teacher retirèd
this year, and we were very pleased to welcome Hayley Reynolds as the new Head of School. We are
looking forward to a close working relationship with the school over the next few years. As ever, we have
a close relationship with the Beacon school, and the children are regularly in Holy Trinity for Friday
worship, or for special teaching sessions that we offer at key times of the year,
This year saw our chaplaincy project with Exmouth Communlty college go from strength to strength. Our
part-time chaplain, Dr Lou ise Prideaux, has been in great demand to support and advise young people
and staff members alike. We hope to further expand the work in the college in 2026. In January 2025 our
Mission Community ministry team also took part in the multifaith Worldview Fayre at ECC.
We had well-attended, Spirit-filled, and joyous church services over Holy Week, and each church saw new
people coming to visit for at this special time of the year.
In September we hosted a beach baptism service, down by the Lifeboat Station. Bishop James Grier also
came and led 3 deeply moving Deanery Confirmation Service at Holy Trinity church, during which nine
candidates were confirmed from right across the Deanery.
This year N ick White, our new Youth and Families Worker for the Exmouth parish started a project to
seek to engage non-christian young people in Littleham by playing football with them in The Crescent

greenspace area. His outreach project is called Littleham Footba114AII and has been very successful in
gathering young people together for sport and exercise on the first Monday evening of the month. Those
who attend have the option of attending youth group on the third Monday evening of the month. It is a
joy that this group has been run in partnership with other churches in Exmouth. Nick has also been
engaging with a number of young people who have been excluded from school, or who have not been
able to sustain their studies at secondary school.
On the 14th of June Rev'd Shaun, supported by a group from our parishes, was priested at St. Paul's
Church, Honiton. It has been wonderful seeing Rev'd Shaun develop his ministry among us. On the 28th
of June we also welcomed our second curate, Rev'd Heidi Budden as our newly ordained stipendiary
Assistant Curate deacon. Heidi completed her theoloEical studies through St. MellitU5 College while an
ordinand in context-based learning at the University of Exeter chaplaincy, Claire White from Littleham
also became an ordinand in training, placed with us. In October Stacey James joined us as Licensed Lay
Minister in training. In December, Stacey a150 took over as Lympstone's new Treasurer. This year we also
welcomed Tim Biggs 35 our new Technical Managèr.
Lympstone pulled out all the stops in June, hosting the production, Lympstone Legends, a celebration of
Lympstone's colourful heritage in both song and story. Following the departure of Alan Dabreo, our
Lympstone organist, we have been very blessed to have had a number of wonderful visiting organists
come and play for us, Following the departure of our Littleham organist, Charlie Price, we have been
most grateful to Martin Knight, who has been able to cover most of Littleham, s Common Worship
services.
During the summer of 2025 Sarah Robertson joined the Lympstone Children and Families Team,
partnering with Abigail Webber to seek the growth of the families ministry there. Together they started
The Kingdom Club, which is a weekly after School drop-in club, aimed at the familie5 whose children
attend Lympstone Primary School. Early in the year Andrew Minter also joined the Lympstone team as
part-time parish Admin Assistant. This year Andrew has made a big difference to the organisation and
effective running of the parish and its working synergy with the Exmouth parish.
During the year we continued to move forward with the work to stop the ingre55 of water into the South
Ai51e of Holy Trinity. Our new architect believed that he had identified the problem with the leadwork and
guttering on the South Aisle roof and instructed a lead working company to rectify the problem. That
work having been completed, the Holy Trinity team will start work, in early 2026, to raise the funds for
the repair of our water-damaged Compton organ.
Ecumenical partnership through the Exmouth Area Christian Leader's Network has continued to flourish
during the year. We have continued to partner well with Withycombe Raleigh Mission Communityi
despite the parish going into vacancy upon the retirement of their Rector, Fr, Robert Sellers, Rev'd Kara
Maylor, stipendiary vicar on the Withycombe Raleigh team, has partnered with us most helpf ully during
the year.

Christmas 2025 was a wonderful time in both parishes, one of the highlights being. once again, the
Christmas Tree festivals at both Holy Trinity and Lympstone. Both festivals attracted many community
Christmas trees. Both parishes also saw significant attendances at their Christmas services.
During the year we have taken a full part in the civic activities and remembrances of the community. In
March we were part of the National Day of Reflection over the countrywide loss of life during COVID-19,
and in May, as Royal British Legion Chaplain, I led the civic service in the Strand to commemorate the
80th Anniversary of VE Day. In August l also led a similar service on the 80th commemoration of VJ Day,
In October Holy Trinity hosted the 2025 Exmouth Mayoral Service, which was an important event for the
whole town. During the summer, Lympstone was very pleased to be able to host Sea Sunday down at the
Sailing Club.
Most amazingly, given the financial challenges in our country today, and the ongoing cost of living crisis,
our parishes ended the year with less of a deficit than might have been expected. I would like to thank
both of our Treasurers for their sterling work during the year to get us to this point.
This year, again, we have lost some great saints and dear friends. As we end the year, we remember each
one of them, rejoice that they are now with the Lord in Heaven. and we thank God for those who cared
for them during their final season of life. I would particularly like to thank all the clergy, stipendiary, SSM,
and retired, our LLM'S and churchwardens, for their sacrificial ministry during this year. Thank you also to
the whole staff team for their great devotion to God and dedication to Christian service. M05t
particularly, I would like to thank my fellow priest and ministry partner, Rev'd Benedict Cambridge, for
sharing with me the privilege of daily leadership of such an amazing family of churches.

NOTES TOTHE ACCOUNTS
I. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS102. The financial statements have been
prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2022
governing the individual accounts of PCCS, and with the Regulations true and fair view" provisions.
They have been prepared under FRS102120161 as the applicable standards and the 2019 version of the
Statement of Recommended Practice, Accourkting and Reporting by Charities ISORPIIFRS1021. The
financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in
law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another
body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.
Fund accounting
Endowment Fund5 are funds, the capital of which must be retained, either permanently, or at the PCC'S
di5cretion,' the income derived from the endowment is to be used, either as restricted or unrestricted
income funds, depending upon the purpose for which the endowment was established in the first
place.
Restricted Funds comprise al income from endowments that is to be expended only on the restricted
purposes intended by the donor, and bl revenue donations or grants for a specific PCC activitv
intended by the donor. Where these funds have unspent balances, interest on their pooled
investments is apportioned to the individual funds on an average balance basis.
Unrestricted Funds are income funds that are to be spent on the PCC'5 general purposes.
Designoted Funds are general funds set aside by the pcc for use in the future. Project funds are
designated for particular purposes for administration purposes only, Funds designated as invested for
the PCC'S own use are abated in line with those assets, annual depreciation charges in the SOFA.
De51gnated funds remain unrestricted and the PCC will move any surplus to other general funds.
Incoming Resources
Planned giving, collection5 and similar donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are
recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are
accounted for when the PCC is entitled to the use of the resources, thelr ultimate receipt is considered
reason.ably certain and the amounts due are readily quantlfiable. Dividends are accounted for when
declared receivable, interest a5 and when accrued by the payer. All incoming resources are accounted
for gross. See also Note 2 regarding legacies.
Resources Expended
Grant5 and donations are accounted for when paid over. or when awarded, if that award creates a
bindlng or constructive obligation on the PCC. The Diocesan Common Fund contribution expected to
be paid over is accounted for when due. All other expendlture is generally recognised when it is
incurfed and is accounted for gross.
Fixed Assets
Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts, in accordance with s.1012llal and
Icl of the Charities Act 2011.
Movable church furnishings held by the Rector and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and
which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the Churche5' inventories, whlch
can k)e inspected lat any reasonable timel. For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient
cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements.
Subsequently no individual item has Cost the PCC more than £5,000, so all such expenditure has been
written off when occurred.
33

The Littleham Hub (formerly known as the Littleham Leisure Centrel, whilst registered in the name of
the Diocesan Board of Finance on our behalf, reverted Ifrom being leased to a separate body) to the
PCC in 2018.
However, the PCC cannot see that it will ever have a slgnlficant marketable value. a5 any attempt to
use the site for other purposes would be unlikely to Succeed, and indeed be undesirable. We can see
no justification, therefore, in incurring costs to obtain a professional valuation. It Is, therefore, not
included in these financial statements. The Independent Examiner supports this view.
Equipment used within the church premises with a net cost to the PCC of £5,000 or less 15 written off
when the asset is acquired,. a £12,000 digger for the churchyard was purchased in November 2022 and
is being depreciated at £3,000 a year over 4 years, including the year of purchase. There are no other
items which require to be depreciated.
Investments are valued at market value at 31, December each year.
2. LEGACIES
The PCC benefitted from 2 new legacies in 2025. A le8acy of £9,799 was left to Holy Trinty Church from
Rosemary Walshaw and ha5 been allocated to the Restricted Fabric Fund. A £1,000 legacy from the
estate of Enid Hayward has been allocated to the Designated Lighthouse Youth Projects Fund.

Holy Trinty congregation and has been allocated to the Restricted Lighthouse Youth Projects Fund.
3. RELATED PARTYTRANSACTIONS
In 2025, donations were received from Trustees IPCC member51 and their close relatives totalling
£21,838'.12024: £26,951). The donois did not attach any conditions to their glfts which required the

4. TRUSTEE EXPENSES

implemented.
6. PRINTING POSTAGE & STATIONERY ETC.
As an exception, this figure is the net cost to the PCC of such items. There was a comparatively small
amount of income from work undertaken for Lympstone PCC and private individuals, which is not
considered 'material'. At our request, the Independent Examiner has agreed this is not material.
7. STAFF COSTS

The financial Statements are presented in pounds sterling, the functional currency of the Charity, and
are rounded to the nearest pound 1£). As a result totals may differ by up to £1 when individual line
Items are aggre6ated.

'regulations' ie 'SORP 2015,. However, additional figures are presented in a more 'customer-friendly'

have no specific accountin
knowledge are able to at least understand the vast majority of it.
12. TRUSTEE REMUNERATION
Remuneratiorb or benefits were paid to 4 Trustees IPCC Member51 during the year..
Paul Stock, who is the Organist at Holy Trinlty Church,
