Safeguardlng
All our licensed readers, lay workers, churchwardens and PCC must have 'due regard, to
safeguarding guidance issued by the House of Bishops. A duty to have'due regard, to
guidan￿ means that the person under the duty is not free to disregard it but is required to
follow it unles5 there are cogent r8asons for not doing so. ('Cogant' for this purpose means
dear. logical ané convincing.)
We continue to enGourage everyone who is part of Filey Parish whether volunteering or not to
practice safeguarding within their contact with others in our Church communities in Filey
Parish.
18m here in my role as Safeguarding officer to work alongside all but especially our volunteers
to ensure that we, as a parish, are working safely with others, as well as ourselves, so that
everyone is worshipping in a safe and encouraging environment.
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. We are
also mindful as a Parish about safeguarding our volunteers too, making sure you are
supported and kept safe. The courses are very informativ8 and are meant to help us recognize
and give u5 the infonnation needed to seek edvice from the safeguarding officer or incumbent
as of the next steps.
Safeguardlng Is not about seeking out abuse but about creating a safe envlronment
wlthln out Parish Community for It to ba dlfflcult ftir perpetrators of abuse to abuse and
that we have the correct reporting procedures in place.
l am always available if you have any con￿M5 or questions in regard to safeguarding or the
role of a Safeguarding Officer. The Safeguarding Officer Rol8 is renewed annually by the PCC
and Safeguarding is a monthly PCC Agenda item due to its importance within our Parish.

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 co￿perate 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. Special celebration for Sue Neilson and her 30 years of lay ministry

De￿rnber- 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.

1am happy to report that all is going well with my Chaplaincy role at both the RNLI and Sea
Cadets. That said, duè to illnes5 just before Christmas my attendance has not bean as often

the Sea Cadets.
Just lo clarify. l am an "honorarf Chaplain at the RNLI and my role is be an emotional and
spiritual support to the crew and staff, especially in the unfortunate case when a traumatic
rescue has taken plac8. When I visit I sit and chat with the crew and shore crew and ask how
they are. l also put the kettle on and make a welcome cuppa, vital part of Chaplaincyl
l am very pleased to report that l am now no longer a Probationary Sea Cadet Chaplain, but a
commissioned Sea Cadet Officer {with the rank of Chaplain) in the Royal Navy. I have just
completed a residential Course in the Royal Navy Training Base, HMS Raleigh, pl￿OUth. l am
very honoured and privileged to be Chaplain of the Filey Sea Cadets Unit.
As with the RNLI my role as Sea Cadet Chaplain is to bring spiritual and amotional support to
the Cadets, Staff and hopefully their families too. l am especially required to be present at the
monthly paraée for Colours. where I give a (short! W I Inspirational talk and say the Sea Cadet

I would just like to say how impressed I continue to be with the dedication and commitment of
the volunteers of both the Filey RNLI and Filey Sea Cadets. They work so very hard and give
lot of their time and energy to make things a success. When I was on my Chaplaincy course at
HMS Raleigh I spoke with my peers and discovered that nationally Filey Unit was doing really
well with the numbers of Cadets. We have around 65 on the books with a weekly attendance

or Care Home, who are no longer able to attend church. In addition. Pastoral Visitin9 happens
regularly for those known to us, who do not wsh to have home communion. Pastoral Cards
are sent and visits also happen when we are made aware of illness and bereavements.
Th8re are currently 5 members of the Pastoral Taam making these visits, all of whom have
completed their safeguarding training. Though it would be good to have more members join
Ihe team. If you would like to know more about what we do. please lalk to Rev Phil, Sue
Neilson or Janice Midwood for further infomiation.
A team of seven lo eight volunteers continue to develop connections with Filey Fields residents
with a monthly service, altemating between a Worship Service with communion at the end for
those who wish to stay, and 8 Communion Service, both with hymns. These services happen

joining us for worship at our Sunday SeNices.
Pastoral Aftemoon Tea for those who would like company are held four times a year at St
John's Parish Centre. This year we have changed to Tuesday aftemoons. this change is to
allow the sqUir￿ls to enjoy their start time, which h8d coincided with our clearing away on
Friday afternoons. However, this change means that will not have our friends from
Happy2Help because they do not meet on Tuesdays.
Dates for 2026 are currently displayed in church, they are 14 April, 14 July, 29 September and
8 December. 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. The team are unable to offer lifts, and guests are asked lo make Iheir own way to and
from the Parish Centre.
If you would like a member of the pastor81 team to visit you, or you know someone who does,
please let us know by contacting the Parish Office.
If you would like to volunteer with the Pastoral Team please speak to Rev Phll.

growing as followers of Jesus. My heartfelt thanks to all the team for all their hard work and
commitment and all the faithful folk who choose to join us. I made the decision in September
that it was time to step down from the Together Time Team so my last session as leader fell in

10.30 am on a Monday, and, dress up then quickly run through the script, no we don't leam it,
we have it with us, the chilrjren don't mind at all. At about 11am we head to the hall, sort out
any props, say a prayer and walt for our audience. After they have lit the candles, I greet them
and give then a rough idea of the story. We perform. .aftenNards I tell them a bit more about
why we chose the story ask the odd question, say a prayer, which they can say Amen to if they
want and finally, we sing a song, hopefully one they know. We usually finish by 11.30am.
Child￿n taking part usually get a sticker as a thank you. Having read this report I bet you're
e8ger to join us and take part of teaching the bible stories to our local children so please come
and have a chat with me, get a DBS [Liz Goodwill will help you with thatl and come and be part
of our friendly teaching team. A big thank you to Betty Midgley who relirèd last year and Shella
Sutcliffe who has retired this year.

story Tellers (originally known as 'Open the Book,)
Wonder TSme
'Wonder Time,, based on 'Godly Play,, a Christian movement centred on childhood spirituality,
was created by a team from Filey Parish to tell Bible stories to years one and two children at
Filey Church of Eng18nd Prlmary School.
Wonder Time takes place on a Monday Lunchtime, the story-telling team consists of Janice
Midw¢)od a Reader (PTO) and Chris Turner {Mr). who have completed the necessary church
and school safeguarding training.
The school organise consent forms for parents to sign agreeing their child can attend sessions
and a staff member brings the children to each session, staying to the end.
The resources for each Wonder Time story, made by the 'Parish Stitchers, and 'Wonder Tim8,
team, are used to tell a bible story, after which the children are invited to reflect on the story
through .1 wonder
questions to encourage their own spiritual joumeys. Tha children can
then choose between an activity sheet based on the story or use the resources to tell the story
themselves.

You never know what the children are going to say. Following the story of the 'Great Pearl.
during the wonder questions they asked..
"Is the pearl magical?"
"Where will the merchant live, now he's sold all his belongings?.
"What will he have to eat?"
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.

was a service and chat time, the second meeting welcomed Catherine Welch who talked about
Filey Arts, On 5th March Rev Phil led us in an Ash Wednesday service which was very popular
and will be repeated in 2026. We also welcomed back the Good News for All speaker which
used to be called the Gideons. We had a service in April and our second meeting was. Tools
with a mission. Joanna Everington had wamed us in advance and we bought tools which could
be recycled and sent to countries where they ware most needed. As a result of this meeting,
after the report was induded in our Parish Link a member of the congregation donated a
sewing machine which was collected and sent abroad. May had celebrations of V.E. Day and
another chatter afternoon. June welcomed Stephanie Luxton with tales of her Scottish travels.
The next meeting titled nostalgia time was a time lo look over 05d photos of Mothers, union
activities. The first July meeting welcomed John Ives who explained about ECO church.
Then the next meeting was a get together we also managed to take some of our over 80 ladies
and gent5 for tea and scones at Filey Fields,
September was our usual welcome back Taizé service planned by Audrey.
Oclob8Is speaker was unable to join us so we just had another natter afternoon. In November
we had a remembrance service and had hoped to have Izzy from IDAS but bad weather got in
the way so our collection of over £170 wa5 sent to her. We had a carol service in the vesty In
December and the following week our Christmas party.
We sadly lost Wendy Lyon and we said goodbye at a lovely seniice at St Oswalds in October.
We ended the year with 34 members.
We happily have a volunteer in the shape of Carol Holden who will be taking over as treasurer

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

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.

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.

A5 always, a big thank you to the ringers for ringing on Sunday momings come rain, snow or
shine. We have hardly missed a Sunday. Our excitement of the year was one August evening
when we were visited by the hunky coastguards who wanted to practise their rescue
procedures in case of emergency, abseiling from the tower to the chancel. We were highly
entertained, watching one of the coastgu8rds being hooked up and abseiling down from the
hole In the middle of the ringing room to the ground floor. It was an education to us all.
Thanks again to the ringers.

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.

'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.

Unrestricted Funds
Total income in relation lo unrestricted funds was £136,414 (2024.. £139,046) of which
£30.487122Q/o of the total) came frorn planned giving. 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.
