Church Road, Stretton, Burton upon Trent DE13 OHD 01283 564216 arishoffice stchadstma -or Registered Charity No. 1130916 St Mary's Church has been in an interregnum since April 2024.
Introduction. We are now completing our second year in vacancy. Thanks to a strong leadership team including an active PCC, the expected contraction seen in our first year has now begun to reverse with a net gain in attendances to seNices especialLy the Easter and Christmas events. This has translated into a stabilisation of income from giving and from fees. In addition, active marketingof our Church Hall has seen a smalL rise in income accelerating towards the year end. We have been very fortunate in receiving a considerable non restricted donation from a Church member of £20.000 which provides financi81 stability. The PCC has included this 8s a designated fund for future developments. These may include development of the Church to improve our offertothe Stretton communityand further reduce our carbon footprint. Other significant income comes from the Thursday afternoon Cafe. This is steadily increasing its footfall and drawing in members of the community to ourchurch services. We continue to increase our Mission workwith two alpha courses this yearone run by the Sunday School team and the other by the Church leadership which have both successfully attracted new rnembers to our Church. Afurther 8lpha course in underway at the beginning of 2026. Otheroutreach activities include a Men's munch and two In Our Back Yard (IOBY) events. The formerwelcomes men from Church and the widercommunityfor social interaction, meeting once a month with approximately 12 attendees. The IOBY has run a very successful Easter egg hunt and light party event forfamilies with young children, the latterattractingweLI over 50 children. We also held a summer party with picnic and Live band. The Church continues to be attractive for large funeral parties and has hosted two choir concerts successfully. In terms of the Church fabric, the major activity of 2025 has been to install a new roof aLarm system. This cost £7,000 and was supported by a grant from the Benef8Ct trust received in 2024. We expect the residual cost of £5,000 to be bal8nced by reduced Insurance premiums overthe next 3-5 years. It Can be evidenced bythe reduction of £800 shown in the accounts for this year 's premiums already. The other benefit is removal of the loss due to metal theft restriction previously applied by our insurers due to a non-approved alarm system. Other activities such as Pastoral Care, Helping Hands, Sunday SchooL, continue due to dedication of Church members.
An informative web site https://stchadstmary.org.uk streamed services, a YouTube channel and Facebook page continue our presence on social media.
We continue to give to other charities as part of our annual tithe amounting to £8270 for this year.

Public Benefit Statement The trustees of the Charity are aware and have regard of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in their administration of the charity. The Adv8ncement of Religion for th8 Public Benefit. Specifically: The trustees believe that. by promoting the work of th8 Church of England in the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Mary's Stretton with Claymillls it helps to promot8 th8 whole mission of the Church (pastoral, ev8ngelistic, social and ecumenical) more effectively within the Ecclesiastical Parish. In doing so it provides a benefit to the public by: Providing facilities for public worship. pastoral care and spiritual, moral and intellectual development, both for its members and for anyone who wishes to benefit from what the Church offers. Promoting Christian values, and service by members of the Church in and to our community to the benefitof individuals and society as a whole. ObJectlv8s and Activities The trustees ar8 committed to en8bling as many people as possibLe to worship at our Church and to become part of our parish community at Stretton with Claymills The trustees maintain an overview of worship throughout the parish and make suggestions on how our seniices can involve the many groups that Live within our parish. Our services and worship putfaith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.
Achievements and Parformanc8. St Mary's, as a lively and outward lookirbg Church, continues to put it's objectiV88 into practice with good effect. This is reviewed on a regular basis through it's bi-monthly trustee and other business meetings. Future Plans. ALongside, and a part of this Trustees Annual Report, an Annual Finance Report is produced giving more detail on the year's achievements and our future plans. Flnanclal reserves policy. The trustees op8rat8 their finances on an unrestricted reserve equal to the anticipated highest expenditure within any one month. Restrlcted fund8 We operate a number of restricted funds where donors or grant making bodies hav8 given moneyfor a specific {restTlCted purpose). A number of designated but unrestricted funds operate to enable financial planning. Funds can be moved at the discretion ofthe Trustees if iequired. The full list is included in the financial statements that follow. Funds materlally In deflclt. There are no funds materially in deficit. Investments The day-to-day financial reserves of the charity are heLd in a CAF {Charities Aid Foundation) Bank cash account. ALlother reserves are held in a CAF Bank deposit account except thatstanding Orderdonations and Cash Donations are directed to r6spective general accounts held with Lloyds Bank. All income into these Lloyds Bank accounts istransferred to either of the two CAF Bank accounts monthly. Due to the minimal levels of these reserves no otherform of investment isdeemed necessary.
Financial risk management Two persons are needed to authorise all mandate oronlinetransactions on behalf of the charity. Three persons have online access to the CAF Bank accounts for authorisation and oversight purposes. This online access requires input of three leveLs of information, all unique to each person. In addition tothis, a Debit card is held in the name of theTre8surer, and the Administrator. Cards are only used forsmall payments and when confirmed with another mandated person. The treasurer prepares a monthly report to the truste8s for their information and oversight. This procedure helps to ensure that any unusual financial transactions are noted at the earliest opportunity and the day-to-day cash-flow is satisfactory. Safeguarding 'Safeguarding is God's agenda & everyone's responsibility,. The trustees wilL take all reasonable steps to work towards 'The protection of Children and Adults within the Diocese of Lichfield, its churches and parishes.

Independent Examiner's report to the trusteeslmembers of The PCC of Stretton with Claymills Registered charity number: 1130916 st I report on the accounts fortheyearended 31 December 2025which are set out on the following pages. ctive re and Inde The charity's trustees are responsible forthe preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees considerthat an audit is not required forthis year under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 {the Charities Act) and that an independent examin8tion is needed. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, to follow the procedures Laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5){b} of the Charities Act, and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes 8 review of the accounting records kept by th8 charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such m8tters. The procedures undert8ken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whetherthe accounts present a'true and fair" view and the report is Limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
nt ner, In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect: accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or the accounts do not accord with the with the accounting records I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in orderto enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The Parochial Church Council of Stretton with ClaymiLIs Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31" December 2025 Accountlng Policies The financial statements of the PCC have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 using the Accruals basis. There may be minor discrepancies in thetotaLs as the pence are not being shown. Flxed Assets Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts by s.10(2)la}&IC) of the Charities Act 2011. Moveable church furnishings held bythe Vicar and Churchwardens on speciaLtrust for the PCC and which require a facuLtyfor disposal are inalienable property, listed in the Church's inventory, which can b8 inspected (at any reasonable time). Foranything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Descriptlon of Funds Einan.¢iaAEeview Unrestrlcted funds ar8 income funds of the PCC that are available for spending on the general purposes of the PCC, including amounts designated by the PCC for fixed assets for its own use orfor spending on a future project and which are therefore not included in its "free reserves" as disclosed in the trustees, annual report. Restrlcted funds comprise of two elements: a} income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest bl donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent atthe end of each year must be carried fOard as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis. Endowment funds There are no endowment funds which benefit St Mary's Church Stretton with Claymills. 10

The disabled toilet fund is to specificallyfund the addition of 8 disabled toiLetto the back of the Church. SignificantLy more funds and renewed faculty are required for this to proceed. The designated funds are for specific regular activities within the Church and represent ring fenced funds similar to a budget for these.

Plans are in development for this fund's use and may include with PCC approvaLa fresh disabled toilet projectwith the above restricted funds. Future plans As indicated above future plans involve redevelopment of the back of Church to incLude a disabled toilet. In addition, creating an area for refreshments with table and chairs by removal of pews along the north side aisle. Also by removing pews from the South aisle and new children's area could be created. Atthe same time investigations are taking place to improve insulation. draught proofing and other carbon neutral interventions. The Church members are keen to increase our Church mission workto extend into the local community and work with others who are keen to build the community spirit of Stretton.
