Background

The Parish of the Isles of Scilly consists of six churches: two on St. Mary’s; one on St. Agnes; one on Tresco; one on St. Martin’s and one on Bryher.

Following the introduction of the Charities Act 2006 the PCC is registered with the Charity Commission, registration number 1129954.

Social Committee :

This committee is responsible for planning and co-ordinating social and fund raising events.

Church Attendance

Following a review of the electoral roll in 2024 there were 106 members across the 5 islands, which is fairly representative of the committed membership. During 2022 the baptisms, weddings, etc were as follows.

The attendance at services at St Mary the Virgin was typically around 30 adults and 2 children in the winter months, rising to between 35 and 61 during the holiday season. The attendance at the Harvest service, combined with the Methodist congregation rose to 57. The Baptismal and Funeral services were all well attended with 84-328 people being present. Attendance at special services were around 75 for Remembrance Sunday and 32 at the Crib Service. Attendance at the new Creative and Wild Church services were around 25 adults and 20 children, many new to church. The evening candlelit Epilogue was re-commenced at Easter for the season, with an attendance varying between 7 and 32. The attendance at St Nicholas’ Tresco in the season varies between 10 and 50, with an average of around 19. During the winter the only services were the school Harvest Festival, Remembrance Service and their Carol Service, all of which were well attended. For All Saints Bryher in the season there were typically 12 attendees and during winter there was a Christmas Tree Festival where 63 were welcomed. For St Martin’s the winter attendance was 8-11 at the monthly service, whereas in the season the average would be 20/25, their Remembrance and Carol Services were well attended by children and adults. For St Agnes the winter attendance was typically 4 and 14 in the season, there was a

school Harvest Festival and community Carol service in the church both well attended by children and adults from the island.

Review of the PCC

The PCC met six times during the year and took place in either the Garden Pavilion or the Chaplaincy. The off-island members either attended in person or on Zoom. The APCM took place in the Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin in April. The Standing Committee did not meet in 2024. Mr David Poynter retired as Church Warden having served for six years. The PCC expressed its gratitude for his contribution in this role. Concern was expressed that no replacement had come forward.

No safeguarding issues were reported in 2023. In line with Church of England recommendations DBS (Enhanced) checks were extended to include all PCC members. Mr K Grossett retired as Safeguarding Officer in July 2024 and the role was assumed by Mrs R Gibb, the Head-teacher of the Five Islands Academy having completed the required training.

A Lent Course of study and reflection took place in conjunction with the Methodist Church. A Home Group was started in May and continued through the year. A service was held on the sand bar between Tresco and Bryher as a low tide event and it included the Eucharist and popular hymns. A decision was made to employ a part time Family Engagement Worker to enable the development of the outreach of the church. At the February meeting the PCC agreed to discontinue the streaming of services which was seen as an immediate post lock-down provision and was no longer necessary.

Fund raising events included a Flower Festival, a Fete, music concerts, Pimm’s and Hymns and a Harvest Supper and these raised around £3,000.

The Charity Shop continued to be open for the regular Tuesday and Saturday business and has again proved to be a significant source of income. The Tuesday session remains extended to include the mornings and this provided a particular service to people who come shopping from the off islands. We are grateful to Mrs Sarah Jane Ellery now looks after the shop along with a group of enthusiastic volunteers. The “Coffee and Chat” sessions continued in the shop on Saturday mornings.

The extensive refurbishment of the Church Hall and plans for making the St. Mary’s Parish Church entrance accessible to all were still being considered with further applications for grants to be made. Extensive electrical work was required during the year for both the Parish Church and the Church Hall costing more than the £5,000 received from the Diocese. ECO awards were gained by Island Churches during the year a Silver by Tresco and a Bronze by St Mary’s. The Diocese specialist carried out a Carbon Footprint inspection on the Parish Church and recommendations were made for future development for its improvement. There is a concern about some of the stained-glass windows in some of the churches and it is planned that work is to be carried out by a specialist in the near future. A new window is being planned for the Parish Church to be donated by Mrs Jackson -Cocking.

Bryher Church benefitted from the sales of the book “Deep Down There Be Mermaids” written by Penny Gay who kindly contributed the takings to the church

The use of IT continued to be developed through the year with the electronic calendar now including bookings for the Church and the Garden Pavilion. QR codes have proved effective in improving giving.

A legacy of £61,000 from the will of Ms Mavis Belsey was donated for the maintenance of the Old town Churchyard of which £7,200 was used for that purpose this year. The other main expenditures this year were for the refurbishment of the Parsonages on the islands of St Martin’s and Tresco, being £6,000 and £2,000 respectively. Payments amounting to £70,112 were made towards the MMF. Thanks were expressed to Mrs Fiona Maybrey for her work as Treasurer over a number of years. Mrs Maybrey retired at the APCM and the role was transferred to Mrs Donna Hacker.

On behalf of the PCC Rev’d Elizabeth Burke (Chair)

Basis of this re My examination was carried out in accordan￿ with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. That examination indudes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also indudes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the eviden￿ that would be required in a full aLKlit, arKI consequenty I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
