St Mary's PCC, Radcliffe on Trent
As I read these reports, l am filled with deep thankfulness for the faithfulness of God and for all at
St Mary's. This Annual Report offers only a glimpse of the life and commitment expressed each
week yet it is a glimpse worth pausing to celebrate and give thanks to God for.
'This is the Lord's doing,. it is marvellou5 in our eye5." Psalm 118.23
What becomes immediately clear as I review the year is the breadth and depth of ministrythat take5
place here. From nurturing prayer to inspiring worship- from growing leaders to growing younger,.
from pastoral care to outreach and service St Mary's continues to be a VIbra￿t, compassionate,
and hope-filled presente in Radcliffe on Trent. New initiative5 have emerged, longstanding
ministries have deepened, and we have witnessed encouraging signs of growth in discipleship and
attendance across every generation and service.
None of this would be possible without the remarkable ¢ommitrneDt of our ministry team and the
nearly 100 volunteers who prayerfully give their time, creativity, and energy. Week after week,
behind the scenes and on the front line, people serve Christ with a generosity and humility that is
both inspiring and deeply moving. As St Paul writes, Your labour in the Lord 15 not in voin."11
Corinthians 15.'58) To every one of you: thank you.
This has been a year in which we have taken Significant Steps forward in our ministry with children,
voung people, and families. The energy, joy, and vision Emma has brought since September have
been a particular gift, and it has been wonderful to see participation and engagement among
younger generations continue to grow. Our prayer is that we will keep becoming an
intergenerational church where every age is welcomed, valued, and encouraged to follow Jesus with
confidence and joy.
We also celebrate the dedication of those who maintain our buildings, steward our finances
faithfully, care for our pastoral needs, lead our worship, create beautiful floral arrangements, ring
our bells, coordinate our groups. strengthen our links with schools, produce LINK magazine, and
serve through the Welcome Café, Play Café, Diddy Disciples. Life Groups, and so many other
ministries. As the Bible reminds us, You are the body of Christ, und euch one of you is o part of it."
{1 Corinthians 12..271
Throughout 2025, we have seen that God is at work among us guiding, encouraging. challenging,
and opening doors. The challenge is that there is still much to do. However, I pray that as you read
this report, you will be encouraged by all that has been achieved and inspired to continue journeying
with us into all that God has for the coming year.
With heartfelt thanks for the dedicated service and prayerfulness of every staff rnember, volunteer.
giver, and each person who is part of St Marfs. May God bless you richly for your generosity and
your love.
-From him and through him ondfor him are oll things. To him be the gloryfor ever..

Achlevements:.a.nd Performance
2025 was a busy year in the life of St Marf s Church and we have been richly blessed by our Heavenlv
Father. Our key artivities and achievements are set out as follows..
Nurturin
Pra
er
As a church we are committed to the belief that prayer is a life-giving means of believers
communicating with our Heavenly Father. We believe that relationship with God is the foundation
of the gospel, and seeking to nurture our relationship with Him is foundational to our discipleship.
We believe that prayer is powerful and effective and we long to be a church family which is rooted
and established in Christ through prayer.
Monthly Prayer Gatherlng
Throughout 2025, we welcomed a small but committed number of people to our monthly prayer
gathering. In which we have seen growth from an average of 5 people to betweer¢ 15-20. In 2025
we held 11 prayer gathering5. normally on the last Wednesday of the month. These times con515ted
of a mix of sung worship, hearing from God's word. and presenting the needs of our Church and
world to our Heavenly Father.
In 2026 we are commwtted to having'nurturing prayerf, atthe very heart ofwhatwe do. This is why
it will be one of three focus areas for our church. We are also planning to "relocate" the date of the
prayer gathering from the last Wednesday of the month to the fourth Wednesday of the month.
This will enable us to better align with our Life Group pattern to enable as many people to attend
as possible.
Spring Threes/Prayer Triplets
As part of our Pra¢tlcing the Wav, discipleship sermon and life group series. we began "Spring
Threes" This was an opportunity for church family to sign up for a "prayer triplet" for the duration
of the sermon and life group series, with a particular focus on the areas of discipleship considered
on Sunday mornings and midweek. A number of people took part in "Spring Threes" and some of
the prayer triplets formed in this time have continued throughout the year. Alongside "Spring
Threes. a number of prayer triplets which were already in existence have continued and have been
source of friendship and support for those involved. We commend prayer triplets to all at St.
Mary's.
Weekly Morning Prayer
Morning Prayer is held twice per week on Wednesday and Thursday mornings at 9am in St. Mary's
Hall. Attendance varies in number and is made up of a mix of Clergy and lay members. The normal
pattern is to follow the Church of England "Morning Prayerf liturgy and last roughly 30 minutes. All
are welcome to attend.

Worshi
"24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not
giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another and
all the more as you see the Day approaching."
Hebrews 10-.24-25
We are convinced that meeting together to worship, pray. hear God speak and minister to one
another is an integral part of what it means to be the body of Christ. And we are convinced that the
times that we spend together in worship should be the most captivating moments of our week.
because God is the most captivating being that our souls could ever long for. For thi5 reason. we
want all of our worship to be "inspiring" both for the time that we are together and as we send one
another out into the world.
Our Setvices
Our church services and activities are open to all who wish to attend and we offer a range of worship
and music styles throughout the week. We tontinue to hold 3 services each week in Church. 9am
Holy Communion and 10..30am Contemporary on Sunday alongside a 10am Holy Communion on
Thursdays. In line with our commitment to robust and appropriate safeguarding, and our desire to
provlde pastorally for all those who consider 5t. Marfs their home, the PCC decided to stop publicly
livestreaming our 10.30am service towards the end of 2025, but to maintain a private live stream
link for those unable to attend in person.
In 2025 we made progress towards a vision for'whole church curriculum". This saw all of our weekly
Services dig into the same bible passages. We began our year with a sermon and life group series
called "Practicing the Way" which was loosely based on John Mark Comer's book and series of the
same title. This included 20 sermons and 10 life group sessions on the nine discipleship practices of..
Sobboth. Proyer. Scriprure, Service, Communiry, Witness. Fosting, Solitude, und Generosity. We
paused this discipleship series for the Season Lent, in which we followed the lectiorsary readings fof
our worship. Our "Practicin8 the Way" series came to an end in July with a celebration service of all
that God had done and all that we had learnt. We also had the joy and privilege in July of hosting,
for the f irst time, an ordination service at St. Mary's which was presided over by Bishop Andy.
Throughout the summer we continued to follow the lectionary readings, as we prepared for a new
sermon series in the book of Nehemiah. Nehemiah afforded us the opportunity to spend time
prayerfully considering the work of "rebuilding and renewing" both spiritually. and physically as we
made plans and preparation5 toward5 a "Reordering building project" As we reached the season of
Advent, we followed the lectionary readings for our bible teaching.
2025 enabled St Mary's to explore a variety of worship methods and styles including live music. led
by both our music group, and pre-recorded worship. The use of pre-recorded music within our
10.30am service has enabled us to engage with and be inspired by new worship music. We have
been, and continue to be, blessed by those who serve in our music group and the end of 2025 saw
us move further toward a 'hybrid' model of worship which utilises people's gifts whilst seeking to
embed live worship into our weekly pattern. Worship at our 9am service continues to be led by our
organist and a small, but dedicated choir. Our active bellringing band provide a call to worship each
Sunday a5 well as ringing on special occasions (such as weddings, funerals, village carnival and
Remembrance Sunday). We have been pleased to welcome a number of visiting bellringing bands
throughout 2025.

St Mary's PCC, Radcliffe on Trent
With thanks to God for the growth that we have seen in our Sunday attendance. we remain aware
of the challenges that Sunday mornings can present to some of our church family - particularlv
those who are the youngest within our family. As we seek to enable our children and their families
to engage with inspiring worship, steps were taken to provide a safe and welcoming space for under
4's. This included a temporary space being provided at the front of church. and a faculty application
being made for the removal of some pews in the North aisle and a better under 4's area to be
provided. At the end of 2025 we were awaiting the Chancellor's decision on this faculty.
Special Services and Events
Easter - The Easter season included several additional services. Many gathered to celebrate and
worship for Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thlsrsday, Good Friday and a Sunrise seNice on Easter Day..
which included excellent breakfast rolls!
Remembrance- As usual, a short Act of Remembrance took place at the W3r Memorial 11am on
th
November 11 and a much larger procession, Act of Remembrance and church service on the
th
previous Sunday110 I. It was wonderful to see a packed church and so many local community
groups represented.
Christmas- For Christmas 2025 we created an advertising campaign based on the theme"Joy to the
World- discovering true joy this Christmas" This Christmas we saw an increase in our average
attendance across all of our services. In part thi5 is due to the arrival of our Youth and Families
Strategic Oversight Minister, and the increased work within our local schools. Our 2025 services
catered for a broad range of worship styles, offering both contemporary, family focused worship
and traditional carols. We joyfully welcomed Radcliffe-On-Trent Infant and Junior school for three
carol services, as well as a number of children and their families for Diddy Oisciples, Kids Praise and
Play Cafe Christma5 events.
Ecumenical link5
As part of our ongoing link with Radcliffe Methodist Church, St. Mary's welcomed the Methodist
congregation to worship with us on the Sunday between Christmas and New Year. This is a long-
standing commitment between our two churches and it was a great joy to partner in this way and
we hope to continue this pattern with the Methodist Church hosting us in 2026. Emma lour Youth
and Families Minister) has been in communication with Rerfd Naomi (Methodist Minister) to discuss
how the Methodist Church and St. Mary's can work together to 5UPPOrt our local schools in teaching
the Christian Faith.

As we seek to grow as a church, we are aware that there is a great need to grow leaders. Thls is both
in relation to helping our current leadership grow in their God-given ski115, gifts and abilities in
leadership, as well as seeking to 8row new leaders as we discern people's gifts and encourage them
to prayerfully develop them in line with God's calling on their lives. Over 2025 we sought to "grow
leaders" in the following way5..

As a church, we are convinced th3t the greatest decision anyone can make is to follow Jesus. For
our children, young people and their families we seek to point them to Christ. as the surest
foundation for their lives. We seek to honour God by working with parents to enable our children
and young people to be disciples of Christ who have confidence, courage and compassion so that
they can live and speak for Jesus for their whole lives.
As we have sought to-grow youngerf we have run a number of groups for our current and regular
young people and families, as well a5 new initiatives which began with the arrival of Emma, our
Youth and Familie5 Strategic Oversight Minister (who has detailed her first few months with us in a
report below).
One Way Club welcomes children aged 4- 9. During school term time5, we meet in Church at the
10.30am Sunday service, then move over to the hall for our own activities. We read the "Laugh and
Grow" Bible, watch videos, play games. make crafts, sing and pray. We meet with Jesus, and he
helps us to live his way. One Way Club has a regular attendance of betweerb 2 and 8 children who
come to church with their families. Our OWC team consists of three, but we would welcome an
additional leader.

Good News Clubwelcomes children from ages Ioto 15 and continuesto meet each Sunday morning
in term time. Attendance was consistent throughout the period january to July of 4 to 6 young
people.
In January Good News Club completed Youth Alpha which began in September 2024. In February
and March there was a recap of the youth Alpha sessions lusing some of new Youth Alpha which
was released after we began the course). There was also preparation for confirmation during this
time and in March, 5 young people from GNC were confirmed. In May Good News Club started to
look at The Bible Course
'Bible in Outline. By Andrew Ollerton. June and July followed Six Beats
One Story18ible Society- Dai Woolridgel.
In addition to our Sunday groups, we also have the following regular activities.
Play Cafe runs from 9-10 on Tuesday mornings in term time and some weeks in half term and school
holidays. Only those accompanying a child under 5 may attend before 10. During school holidays
older siblings may come with our regular families, who understand the need to keep toddlers safe.
We serve at tables as for the café bvt toast, teacakes, Sugar free buns and babyccinos are especially
popular.
Part of the hall is set up as forthe café, with plenty of high chairs. There are also toddler toys, a baby
area, trains or cars, books or puzzles and a different sensory artivity each week. Sensory artivities
give the children a chance to discover, pour, touch. develop fine motor skills and imagination. They
include trucks in oats, 'weetabix' sand, farm animals on green rice, toy insects hidden in leaves. At
9.45 we do a craft, often glueing but also painting, planting, decorating biscuits etc. Then we do
singing and finish at around 10 or soon after. People are welcome to stay on after 10 when The
Welcome Cafe opens.
Objective: There is no specific Christian content, but we provide a facility much-loved and
appreciated by those who Come, which gives us a chance to make relationships with the adults and
children, as we have many regulars. We offer to pray with or for people where appropriate and we
publicise church events for families and all age services. Having Emma there 5ifkce September means
she can chat to people while l am still serving and make connection5 Wlth families who may attend
other events she is running. She assists with craft and clearing up and has helped and supported me
with publicity.
Diddy Dlsciples Is a toddler group meeting 9-11am every Friday in term time. We average 18-20
children with parents and carers even grandparentsl We provide a friendly atmosphere for
everyone and different kinds of activities for children from construction. craft, role play, baby
corner, book corner and physical activities ride on toys and a jumping boxl At the end of each session
we have a 8ible Story and singing some Christian songs. We also have a thank you prayer at the end.
In October we began tidying away before the Christian story and songs in the foyer. This enabled
children and their parent5 to engage more fully. Refreshments are served all for donations of £2 per
family as it's donations sometimes we get more than that but happy to receive le55. We a150 sponsor
Isaac, a little boy in Pajule, and Share updates about hls life.

service for families primarily aimed at children aged 0-11. From January-December 2025 we ran 10
sessions, each with praise. a Bible Story and theme with related craft and prayer activities.

Attendance was very variable as we compete with multiple after school activities/working parents,
but increasing support of church families in the year wa5 really appreciated. Increased numbers
make it easier for newcomers to join in and our church family children are learning more about God.
Average attendance = more than 6 children and 3 parents, with a total of 20 different children and
13 different parents/grandparents attending within that period. Attendees range between church
families. those with existing links through Diddy Disciples or Play Café, and those who Come in

A key focus this term has been coherence across the church family.
Good News Club is now following the church curriculum, and from January One Way Club will begin
using Praying with Poul, meaning all children and youth groups will be journeying through the same
teaching themes as the wider congregation. This strengthens our vision of every generation growing

In November. alongside a Life Group and Youth and Children's Ministry Leaders, I completed a
prayer walk for our local schools, intentionally covering them schools in prayer and asking God to
deepen relationships and open doors.
3. Growin
Leaders
This term ha5 also been about investing in leaders and strengthening team culture.
l established a Youth and Children's Ministry Leaders Group, creating space for connection, prayer
and shared learning. Together we have been working through Storting Out in Children'5 Ministry by
Alison Mitchell, reflecting on current challenges. and praying for wisdom. There is a noticeable shift
from working in siloes las previously commented in the diocese review into children and youth work
at St Marls) to growing in unity and shared vision.
Other developments include-
Strengthened WhatsApp communications and regular leader rneetings.
Intentional appreciation of leaders, including a Christmas meal at The Piano.
Attendance at Inspire (run by the Diocese of Southwell & Nottinghaml with children and
youth leader5, investing in learning and encouragement.

station to engage young people in conversation and begin relationship-building.
Repurposin8 and redecorating the Rainbow Room to create a more welcoming youth space,
with the aim of launching the CrossRoads youth group after Easter.
Our revised programme of family events, including the Glow Party and Families Christmas
Celebration, has provided engaging, well-attended opportunities centred on crafts, games,
hospitality and God's Word.
Stewardshi
and Bud et
Carl and I have agreed to work towards a budget of £2,500 for each year of the youth and families
ministry for general spending. This budget exists as a guideline for our spending and enables us to
keep a careful eye on our stewardship of finances. However, this budget is not limiting to our
ministry.
So far we have spent £814.66 on a variety of projects such a5: leader development book5, lending
library books, Glow Party and Christmas events, Bible Society books for services, craft materials,
school engagement and a celebration meal to thank children and youth volunteers.
Reflertion5
This term has been marked by..
Growing attendance
Deepening relatlOn5hips with parents
Increased coherence with the wider church
Strengthened leader unity
Expanding school engagement
Clear vision for outreach in 2026
There is still much to develop, particularly in recruiting and developing new leaders, developing new
ministries aimed at growing our reach to include more young people and embedding a whole-church
curriculum across our Sunday group5. However, there is genuine momentum, evidence for the
beginnings of growth and lots of encouragement.
As we enter this new year, l am deeply grateful for the compassion, COu￿ge and confidence I see
emerging,. not only in our children and young people, but in our leaders. schools and parents too.
l also want to say how privileged I feel to serve here. I have been truly overwhelmed by the support,
prayer and encouragement I have received from our leadership and from the wider congregation.
The generosity of time, wisdom and faithfulness that so many bring makes this ministry both
sustainable and joyful. It is a blessing to serve in a church family that so clearly longs to see every
generation flourish in Christ.
We continue to dream of a church where every generation is drawn together in joyful worship.

Commitment
Bapt15ms and Confirmations
In 2025 there were 6 Baptisms and a significant number of these were by full immersion. With this
in mind and looking to the future, we took the decision to apply for a faculty to obtain a portable
Baptistry which we could retain on site. At the time of writing this report, we have not yet received
approval for this Faculty and as such this is an ongoing matter.
We hosted the Confirmations for the East Bingham Deanery which was presided over by Bishop
Paul. There were 9 ¢andidates of which 7 were member of St. Marfs.
Outreach and Local Community links
An aim of absolutely everything we do is to establish and grow disciples of Jesus Christ. These are
the activities that are particularly outreach-focussed:
During this year two Alpha courses were planned but unfortunately were not able to go ahead due
to low sign-up rates. There are plans in place for a family focussed Alpha course to start in Autumn
2026. Additionally, there are plans to run a nurture course called 'Hope Explored, during Lent 2026.
As you will see in the above section, Diddy Disciples, The Play Cafe and Kids Praise also fall within
thi5 remit.
St Mary's Hall continues to be well used by a mixture of Businesses, Community Groups and for
Church Artivities. Our Hall Booking Secretary ha5 worked to increase our booking5 which has in turn
increased income as recorded in the financial report.
The hall also houses the church office which during 2025 was relocated to an upstairs room. This
decision was made to allow more productivity and to create a better working environment for the
team. The office 15 now open 5 days per week as we have a full-time staff member.
The Welcome Café runs in our hall 3 mornings each week and offers a great selection of hot drinks
and cakes, and a welcoming place to socialise. The Cafe also contributes significantly to the income
of the Church.
St Mary's has its own website www.stmarysradcliffe.org which is continuing to be developed with
an emphasis on a joined-up approach to publicity for occasions such as Christmas and Easter, as well
as explorer usability. LINK, a Church and Community magazine, provides news for the whole of the
parish and our sister parish Shelford with Newton and is purchased by both church and noD~chufch
members. St Mary's is also represented on Facebook and Instagram, and these have been better
utilised this year.
St Marvs hosted I concert by a local choir this year which was thoroughly enjoyable but staffing
concerts remains something of a challenge.

Pastoral care, fellowship and discipleship
Pastoral care remains a challenge as many of our key volunteers become older and so new ways of
meeting these needs are being explored. Our Life Groups are key places of receiving and giving care
and the ministry of flowers overseen by Jenny Hudson is much valued.
Life Groups are core to growing as individuals and as a community of disciples. We have 7 small
groups that met throughout the year in different homes and under the leadership of a team of Life
Group Leaders. While styles of meeting varied. at their core are
personal encouragement and
support; worship and prayer,. bible study and discussion,. and seeking to encourage witness to
colleagues/neighbours/family/friends.
While these Groups represent a reasonable number ofst Mary's attendees. there is plenty of room
for growth from people acr055 all services. Life Groups are an important part of St Mary's vision to
See people 'be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do the things Jesus did,. We invite everyone not
in a Life Group to give one a gol
Our Pastoral care, fellowship and discipleship often include our serving teams. All regular church
family members are encouraged to become involved in line with their gift5. The Welcome Café and
the excellent refreshments served before and after 10.30am services offer other opportunities for
deepening fellowship.
We are grateful to Julie Pearce (Lay Reader) for her commitment to seNe the care homes of
Radcliffe, including a PQPLtlar Christmas Carol service. Canon Alan Haydock continues to take Holy
Communion to some of our housebound member5, which 15 a greatly appreciated ministry.
The annual All Soul's service took place in November, with personal invitations goin8 the families of
those for whom we conducted a funeral during the previous year. The Service is a highlight of the
year for many who attend.
Our newsletter / email, PewsNews, is produced weekly and aims to keep church family members in
touch with latest news.

Mission Support and Care for Creation
It is the policy of the PCC to aim to give from unrestricted donated income to missionary societies
or other Charities that support wider mission. Our main mission focus continues io be a project with
World Vision partnering with a community in Pajule in Northerrs Uganda and we have donated
£5000 every year for the last 4 years. We have a total of 12 families and groups sponsoring children
directly through this project. We also regtjlarly collect non-monetary donations le.g. food) for a
refugee support group. This ha5 continued throughout 2025 on a monthly basis Wlth boxes on
peoples drives for donations.

sought to become increasingly aware of the needs of our church family in this area. Considering this,
we have begun to increase the use of Makaton signing as a part of our worship, seeking to enable
all people to engage with and be inspired by worship. Our plans for the further development of this
area of mission and ministry include5 seeking to provide "support packs" for any children, young
people. or adults who might need them, as well as further increasing the use of Makaton, looking
into further training and development for Staff and volunteers and enhancing the ability of all to
engage with worship.
As mentioned elsewhere in this report, we have made a concerted effort to "reach youngerf,.
Although this is its own area within our Growing Disciples Plan, it also has an impact on our efforts
to prayerfully enhance diversity within church life, as we seek to See diversity across all ages. You
can read more about how we are "reaching youngerf in that section of this report.
In addition, in response to the commission to the church from Jesus to go and make disciples of all
nations, and in recognition of the growing number of new people and new homes in Radcliffe, Jo
Napper was asked to look at ways in which SMR could move forward in this area. He invited a small
group to meet with him to pray about and disCUSS this. The plan is to bring a proposa5 to PCC in earlv
2026 so positive progres5 can be made in this exciting new area of mission, building on the work
done by many before.
GDP and Statistical Information
During the year a total of 19 funerals were condurted - the majority held at St Marvs - plus I burial
of ashes. We also celebrated 2 weddings.
A typical weekly attendance in 2025 was around 164, while our current 'worshipping community, is
estimated to be 214. Our electoral roll which was fully renewed in 2025 now stands at 12 1. These
overall figures show a slight increase from last year and as usual they hide significant Comings and
goings within our church family. It has again been wonderful to see new people joinin& but in 2025
we also had to say goodbye to many much-loved friends, whom we remember with thankfulness.
Communications and Administration
Our administrative system Churchsuite has been further rolled out in 2025 and has become a much-
utilised tool to support with administrative tasks such as scheduling, communication, and
information sharing.
We have implemented a Social Media Policy, and work continues on this as we consider its
implications for Church life. This is a part of our ongoing commitment to a clear and helpful over-
arching communications strategy.
Safe
uardin
The PCC ens¢Jres that 3 Parish Safeguarding Officer and DBS Recruiter are appointed. It reviews the
Parish Safeguarding Policies on an annual basis and requests regular updates on how these are being
implemented.
The PCC first adopted the new Church of England policy statement. "Promoting a Safer Church" in
2019. Full implementation remains a top priority for the PCC, Incumbent, and Safeguarding Officer.

St Mary's PCC, Radcliffe on Trent
Stephanie Spencer ably fulfilled the role of Parish Safeguarding Officer throughout 2025. Our
grateful thanks go to her for her work and commitment in this critical area.
We ensure that safer recruitment procedures are followed for all who work with vulnerable groups
land indeed for most other volunteers tool. All our staff and volunteer5 are required to undertake
regular safeguarding training at the appropriate level and 30 people completed at least one such
course in 2025.
With the introduction of the National Safeguarding Standards, the PCC have committed to utilise
the worksheets and materials provided to facilitate discussion and align our activities to promote
these standards within St Mary's.
Fabric of our Buildin
The Churchwardens & PCC, through a combined Buildings Committee and St Marfs Hall
Management Team, are responsible for overseeing the care and maintenance of St Marls Church
and St Marvs Hall. These meet regularly to review the condition of the fabric of these buildings and
report back to the PCC. As delegated by the PCC. these teams facilitate a rigorous schedule of
planned maintenance as well as arranging repairs and renovation work. Work undertaken on the
church is 5ubje¢t to diocesan control through the faculty system.
Towards the end of 2024 PCC voted in favour of undertaking steam cleaning to the internal wa115
and pillar5 of the Church. A faculty wa5 applied for and granted in 2025. however after much
consideration of the process needed to achieve this and the costs associated, it was decided not to
proceed with the work at this time.
Plans for the restoration of the Church Clock are ongoing. We took the decision to use an alternative
contractor for the work and have agreed a quote for the repairs to be completed by Clockwise
Restorations Ltd. We are currently awaiting a date for the works to be carried out.
We are hopeful that the cost of the works will be covered by donations which have already been
received as we were unfortunately unable to secure any funding from the Parish Council. We are
most grateful to those who have donated.
In September it was discovered that there wa5 some urgent repair work needed on 2 of our 8 Church
bells. Thanks to the efforts of the ringing team and swift application for faculty, the works were able
to be completed in time for ringing at Christmas. Thanks to all who donated to assist with the cost
of these works.
During 2025, we had several di5CU55ion5 and meetings with our Church architect to discuss various
projects, such as the steam cleaning of the internal stone walls and the introduction of the under
4's area. We also discussed initial ideas about a wider scheme of re-ordering and plans for thi5 were
drawn up towards the end of the year and have been circulated to PCC for comment. While there
are no immediate plans to launch a re-ordering project, the plans are available from the Church
office upon request.
The next Quinquennial report is not due until 2027.
The upkeep of the churchyard, closed in 1869, was passed to the Burial Authority and administered
by Radcliffe on Trent Parish Council. This continues to be the case. There is a small area, which is
retained by the church for the interment of ashes, known as The Garden of Remembrance.

Deane
One rnember of the PCC sits on the Deanery Synod. providing a vital link between our parish and
the life of the deanery, reporting back regularly on their meetings. There are 2 further vacancies for
Deanery Synod representatives.
Paid Staff and Volunteers
The work and ministry of the church has been supported for several years by a small number of paid
staff, involved in administration, and cleaning the hall and church as well as the introduction of
full time Youth and Families Strategic Oversi8ht Minister. St Mary'5 15 deeply indebted to the
considerable number of volunteers, nearly 100 people, without whom the church would be unable
to ftsnction.
You will see future plans detailed within each subject area covered above.
The total income for 2025 was £171k. which includes £12k within restricted funds, mostly the grant
for the youth f und from the Diocese. Regular donations were up by 1.7% Iwhich is a fall of 1.7% in
real terms, taking inflation into a¢countl. The total expenditure for 2025 was £184k of which
restricted fund expenditure was £16k.
It is PCC policy to maintain a general fund balance of at least 3 months unrestricted lunfundedl
expenditure. Based on the expenditure from 2025, this amounts to £42k. At the year-end there was
a general fund balance of £29k, a shortfall of £13k. This means that in 2026 the church must only
approve necessary expenditure and also embark on a program to increase giving.
The method of appointment of PCC members is as set out in the Church Representation Rules. At
St Mary's the PCC comprises the Incumbent. Churchwardens, Deanery Synod representatives, and
Lay Members elected by those members of the congregation on the Electoral Roll. Members of the
congregation at St Mary's are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to
the PCC. At our AGM there were 10 nominations for 12 places therefore in line with Church
Representation Rules guidance, no vote was taken and 10 were eletted.
We had 2 nominations for Churchwardens at the AGM and both were appointed.
The PCC is responsible for making all deci5ion5 concerning the running of the parish of St Marfs and
deciding how its funds are to be spent. The Standing Committee can make decisions between
meetings when necessary.

Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement
My examination was carried out in actordance with the General Directions given by the Charity

comparison of the accounts presented with those record5. It also incltsdes a consideration of anv
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as Members
concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that
would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent Examiner'5 Statement
In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention..
111 which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act,.
