There is an expectstion that all volunteers take the two safeguardlng courses (Basic and Foundation) and the added option of the Awareness of Domestic abuse training provided by the Diocese. These courses are available online or face to face (usually held within the Deanery, with a chance of meeting up with others from different parishes) these courses are designed to equip volunteers to recognize if a child or adult could be In an abusive situation and how to listen, support and the best way you can do this in a safe, confidential way.

Aim and purposes Filey Parish exists to further the mission of the worfd-wide church and of the Church of England in particular. Its chief objectives within this aim are.. The regular worship of God.. The Father. Son and Holy Spirit The teaching of Christian faith and doctrin8 to all ages Th8 pastoral care of parishioners Evangelism and outreach Offering friendship and fellowship to parishioners and visitors alike To identify and make best use of the gifts and skills of both clergy and laity To coperate as closely as possible with the other Christian churches in the town (Churches Together in Filey), seeking to live out the tenns of the covenanl made bebNeen thern in the year 2000AD The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possibl8 to worship at our churches and to become part of our parish community in Filey. The PCC maintsins an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how seNices can involve the many groups thal live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. When planning our activities for the year, w8 have consider8d the Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through: Worship and prayer,. learning about the Gospel,. and developing their knowledge and trust in Je5US. Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish. Missionary and outreach work. To facilitate this work, It is important that we maintain the fabric of all our Churches and The Parish Centre at St Johns. The Parish aims to provide opportunities for regular worship at the Parish Church, and the two other Anglican church buildings within Filey and Gristhorpe. Its ministry is offered to all who live in the Parish, without distinction. We seek to work closely with the other Christian denominations within the town. Objectlves and Actlvltles As people of faith, our purpose is to worship and serve God both in the life of the Church and the wider community. We believe in a loving God revealed to us through the Bible and the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We are flawed people. but . . God's grace reaches out to everyone. THEREFORE.. Our Mission is to be the family of Chrisl. who love and serve God, filled by the Holy Spirit, sharing God's love in word and action. We endeavour to do this in three ways: Deepening our faith. By developing a richness of commitment and becoming more Christ-like. Growing the Church. By reaching out to others with God's love, building fellowship and adding to our nurnbers those who believe. Serving the community. By having concern forthe needs of others and respond in the way of Christ with compassion, kindness, humility and patience. Legacy Policy Page 3 Filgy PCC- Tfusiges Rep(xt and Accounts year4nded 31 Oe¢ember 2025
The policy was last reviewed in Nov 2022. The overriding aim is to US8 legacy gifts to further the work of the church here in Filey, including mission and outreach to the people of Filey and the development of our buildings, facilities or staff to help that happen. The overriding aim of this policy is to use every gift received to make a real and meaningful difference in the parish where it 15 m05t needed. Accordingly, the PCC encourages donors to leave their legacy gift for the general purposes of the parish. Achievements and Performance Vlcar of Flley report I want to start with deep gratltude to all who have helped life within the Parish to continue to flourish in many different ways, often working "behind the scenes" There were many highlights from the year and I can't hope to mention them all. This report strives to give a flavour of what has taken place over the year. My thanks go to all those involved in leading worship across the Parish., ALM'S and LLM'S - Janice Midwood, Sue Neilson. Ann Simpson and Ann Mead,. and retired clergy who have helped me over the year- Tri5h Wick, Richard Holden and Chades Dobbin. We started the year with only one churchwarden at Sl Thomas, _ Ann Sargent- but due to the health of her husband, Ann took the right decision to step down from her role and concentrate on family. This meant that we had no Ghurchwardens, but with teams of willing volunteer5 at all three of our church buildings, we continued to provide our regular patterns of worship, and I thank all those who stepped up to enable this and show a true team spirit. This did show us new way of working, of sharing the load, rather than all falling on the shoulders of Individuals at the risk of being overburdened. This way of working has hopefully started an ongolng process whereby all can flourish together., a place where we can build up each other's strengths, and acc8Pt our differences and mistakes with grace. At the last APCM we were delighted to welcome Adnan, John and Margaret as churchwardens - their support has been invaluable to many, myself included. My deepesl gratitude too to Liz Goodwill for all her invaluable support OV8r the year both as safeguarding officer. PCC secretary and Parish administrator- without her life as vicar would be so much more difficult. Huge thanks to all the members of the PCC for their time, efforts and shared vision in flourishing together. Our aim now is to build on the work started this year, and to find a treasurer, as well as churchwardens for St John's and Sl Thomas, thus enabling all three of our places of worship to continue to grow, thrive and flourish; to enable stronger communication and working together. An event during 2025 which helped this progress was the creation of a DCC (District Church Council) to oversee Ihe governance of St Thomas,. This will enable the existing relationship between th8 DCC and the PCC to be more fonnalised, and for the DCC lo continue to manage the local life, ministry, and property of St Thomas's, operating under the oversight of the main PCC as trustees. There have been many other highlights over the year which include some of the following.. February- bible study based around Micah and a home ed group using St John's April - a full week spending time in the Infants School with workshops in each class about Easter and culminating in 8 service together at St John's May- North Yorkshire Council holding their Civic Service at St Oswald's., VE Day Service at the Mernorial Gardens., Christian Aid week including a lunch and street Collection., official acceplance of the DCC at the APCM July- Ryedale Festival concert., Parish Vision Day with Jan Grey August- Guest preacher Liz Holdsworih sharing aboul Mustard Seed September- Being part of the 2417 prayer week November- Service lo remember those who were lost at sea on the "Research" fishing vessel on 25th November 1925.

Dernber- Another great Chrislmas Tree Festival and Christmas services Some final thoughts about where we flourish together next as we look at developing and exploring our"Rhythm of Life" in 2026. I want us all lo be part of a Church that does things well; that has great Church services of different styles. The format of a service is much less important than having hearts to worship Jesus, whether we like traditional styles or more contemporary styles. One is not better than another- they are different ways of worshipping and honouring Jesus. We 8re all different. That is okay. We may prefer different things, but we are all made in the image of God. We are brothers and sisters in Christ. God desires our hearts of worship and open doors that welcom8 everyone. I want us to be part of a Church that is united In worship of Jesus, where we care for and love one another, and where we are a Church more focused on sharing the hope we have in Jesus wilh those who don't yet know that saving hope, than are occupied with lookn'ng inwards and grumbling when things don't go how we want. I want us to be part of a Church that is more about looking outward8 and sharing faith than having 'my need5, met. I, like all of us, can read my Bible, pray and worship in my own style at home or with others who are like minded. Though. I do need the stimulus of others. life groups and the Church to keep me on fire for Jesus. l am excited by the new Vision that we plan to follow in 2026, looking at the seven areas of prayer, scripture, worship, love, generosity, sharing our faith and rest. I look forward to how this vision can be received in 2026, developed and grown across the Parish wilh your support and encouragement. Any Church vision will comprise looking up to Jesus, looking In to one another and looking oulwards to the world around us. It is not hugely different from our current vision of deepening our faith, growing the church, and serving the community, but, for me, this has the opportunity to bring a freshness to all that we do, and lo the ministry priorities we are considering. May the Holy Spirit guide us all as we continue to build his kingdom and share the Good News in our parish. Rev Phll Sea Cadets & RNLI Chaplaincy 1am happy to report that all is going well with my Chaplaincy role at both the RNLI and Sea Cadets.

Invilations will be placed in church nearer each date with a note to contact Janice and to note any food intolerances. Aftemoon tea is free to attend, and the team are grateful for the financial support offered by Filey PCC in enabling these aftemoons to continue. Feedback tells us how important these sessions are in offering a safe environment to socialise. Afternoon T8as are supported by 7 regular volunteers, wilhout whom these aftemoons would not happen. Volunteers offer their support by baking, shopping, preparing the food, setting and waiting tables, help with the game of Bingo or quiz and of course washing up and clearing away.

After the parable of the Good Shepherd, when we asked, "I wonder why Jesus called himself the good shepherd,. one child answered: 'Because he kept sheep. There are usually five storiès each half-term, told to a group of up to 12 children frorn year one, with the Same five stories told to year two children the following half-temi. Last term there were 2 groups of 7-8 children for each year which is really encouraging. This term we have 2 groups of 12 children, all of whom engage with the story, the wonder questions and the activity sheets. It is such a pleasure and privilege to work with the children. and we are grateful to Filey Church of England Primary School for allowing us to bring bible stories to the children.

St John's Baby & Toddler group During the year we've welcomed babies, Toddlers, preschoolers, along with their mums, dads, grandparents and carers to join us on a Wednesday momings during school term lime. Adults are chatted to, made to feel welcome and supported, babies and chIldn come and play, leam and make us smile. The group is thriving and remains popular, so much so, another group has started to run along the same principles, this takes place at Infant school on a Monday wrth many faces enjoying both groups during the week to me8t and make friends. We are able to offer refreshments for the carers, a listening ear, craft for the chlldren, we provide healthy snacks, singing and celebration of birthdays and special times during the year. The group would not be possible if it wasn't for the loyal team ofvolunteers who turn up before eight o'clock on Wednesday momings, they set the room up ready to welcome everyone from 9am and make sure the group runs safely during the session. I would Ilke to extend a hug• thank you to Janice, Janet, Shell. Sue W. Sue H. Christine. Ann. Sheila and Dave, which without this loyal hardworking team of volunteer's, we wouldn't be able to offer a Safe and fun place for everyone to ènjoy. There are opportunltles outslde of the Sesslon tlme to help• settlng up the 8e88lon and tldylng away at the end, we could always welcome extra volunteers who can move the chairs around the space in Sl John's church, we are not always at full capacity volunteer wise, due to holidays and illness.

Liz Goodwill on b8h8lf of the Toddler T88m St John's Care and Growth Team The team continue to meet to ensure that without a church warden not only th8 building and the fabric of the building is maintained but services on a FTiday continue to S8rve members of the Parish and some vlsitors who for many reasons value a week day service at st John'5 .We appreciate the retired clergy ,Sue, Janice, Pam and Ann for their dedication to this 5eNice. The 41h Sunday service at St John's has seen changes at the end of 2025 The Quinquennial report from Autumn 2024 did not raise any major concems and all matters have been addressed apart from the bell rope which will be replaced in June 2026 along with work at St Oswalds. The Parish cent continues to be extensively used with a very active Scout group now meeting on a Friday evenings. There is a range of activities for all ages meeting regularly and many one-off bookings also. Management of the centre being in an old building can be difficult and certainly the end of 2025 brought many challenges when the heating failed resolved only by using parts from one boiler to repair the other. The plan, when advice has been received, a faculty and funding applied for is lo have a new system installed during the summer months. We remain extremely grateful to Jo who cleans the centre and the church to a high standard. The garden remains a challenge to maintain we had a regular team during 2025 and for no other reason but the health of the gardening team there will be no regular gardening sessions this year but again Neville ha5 kindly agreed to continue to cut the grass and do some general tidying.

Many thanks for all those who have sent items to be shared in the Llnk and Facebook over 2025 and help keep the Parish relevant within the community of Filey. Charitable Glving 2025 We are delighted to confirm that the following charities have been supported by us as Parish during 2025.. LoGall £1250 to the local Filey Scouls group to help them with setting up costs and getting off the ground. especially as a new Cubs section is starting in September £1250 to be used for creating and distributing local food parcels to families during school holidays in liaison with the Infant and Junior Schools £590 lo Filey Infants £590 to Filey Junior School National Normally we might have received a grant based around the Lowest Income Communilies Funding. This is a grant received by the Diocese from the National Church for the purpose of providing and supporting ministry within the most deprived communities. The grant for 2026 would be for £3,002. and Filey Parish would normally h8ve fallen into the bracket of the mosl deprived areas. However as the PCC decided to pay th8 free will offer of £76,721 in 2026, we will not receive the grant. Instead the grant of £3002 will be passed on to those Parishe5 in the bottom third of the Diocese who are struggling to rneet their requested free will offer. With this in mind, the charitable giving committee decided that we would see this as our "national" portion of our giving for this year. I nternational £1250 to CMS with the specific guidance that this is used for trainlng purposes £1250 to Five T81ents. £590 given to the Grassroots project. There are also some individuals who sponsor a family through CMS by their own choice. For safeguarding reasons we cannot share their details through the Parish Link, but if you would like more information please do speak lo Margaret West. As we look ahead to 2026 and have any suggestions for charities we could support. or If you have any further questions, please get in touch with Rev Phil in the usual ways. Charitable Giving Team know. Rev Phil Chlldren's Soclety 'We'll always be here for children in crisis. That's been the case for more than 140 y88rs and its not about to change. With this statement in mind, at the beginning of Advent Gardboard candles and envelopes were taken by the congregation to fill with coins and notes to be returned at the Christingle service in January. The day before the service there was a Christingle coffe8 morning held at St John's. Unfortunately the weather was not very kind that weekend and it snowed but despite this a lively team of helpers made 70 Christingles.. Altogether £491. 83 was raised and sent to The Children's Society for their work with young people.

Further unrestricted income was received from sources including donations and grants, parish fees (for marriages and funerals), Parish Centre rents and investment income. Unrestricted expenditure relates mainly to the day-to-day running costs of our two church buildings and includes a contribution lo York Diocese, utilities costs, insurance. the costs of Sunday and mid-week services, clergy exp8nses and administration costs. In 2025, total unrestricted expenditure was £163,331 (2024- £139,811). The deficit of income over expenditure was £26,917 (2024: £7651. Unrestricted reserves at 31 Bl December 2025 amounled to £194,359 {2024'. £221,276), of which £1,962 relate to the designated fund for the St John's Mother and Toddler group. The PCC monltors the financlal situation of the Parish at PCC meetings. Major cost areas have been, and continue to be, reviewed for value for money, taking advantage of fixed-term deals, for example. It should also be noted that many of the running costs of mission and buildings are fixed in the medium-term. Restrlcted Funds Restricted income, in the form of donations and grants, tog8th8r with income from t annual car parking spaces at Sl John's, amounted to £13,10912024.' £76,402). Donations and legacies are recogni5ed only when received. Pledges, promises and similer intentions are not included in the PCC'S accounts until r8C8ived. Where donations are received under a valid Gift Aid declaration, the amount of income tax is alloca teé to the respective donationlfund. Restricted expendilure amounted to £1,79612024: £4,929). As at 3111 December 2025, the balance of restricted funds for St Oswald's was £42,602 {2024'. £38,664) and for St John's {2020Visionl the balance was £55,940 {2024.' £48,564). Including other historical restricted reserves, total restricted reserves 8t 3181 December 2024 amounted to £98,542 (2024= £87,229). Note 9 of the financial statements provide further detail. Endowment Funds In line Wlth the general economlc envlronment. the Fund's investments showed revaluation gain of £89,107 at 3181 December 2025. However, the investments are held for the long term and the movement in value should be seen as just a spot check between two specific points in time. Reserves policy It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments. For the year ended 3181 December 2025, this is equivalent lo approximately £40,833. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet unforeseen day-to-day expenditure. Available unrestricted reserves at 319t December 2025 stood at £192.397 (2024: £220,405), which is more than required. The PCC continues to give consideration to the management and utilisation of unrestricled reserves over and above the amount to be retained in accordance its reserves policy.
