AIMS AND ORGANISATION
The object of the PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Great Ayton with Easby is to further the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The PCC (Powers) Measure 1956 states the PCC ‘is to co-operate with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical’.
To enable the efficient discharge of its duties, the PCC has delegated various responsibilities to committees:
All Saints Committee – the maintenance of the former 12[th ] Century Parish Church
Fabric Committee – overseeing day to day maintenance and major projects for Christ Church, chaired by the Churchwardens
Church Hall Committee – to manage and promote the use of the Hall for the benefit of the Church and the community of Great Ayton
Standing Committee – organizing PCC business and dealing with day to day and urgent matters. Staff Meeting – a monthly meeting of staff and Churchwardens to review worship and events. Parish Safeguarding Officer – reports regularly to the PCC and monitors groups and practices.
The PCC is a body corporate; the composition and procedure is regulated by the church representation rules as contained in schedule 3 of the synodical government measure (as amended), the Councils (powers) Measure 1956, as amended by the 1969 Measure. Elections to the PCC are held annually. All members of the Church Electoral Roll are entitled to vote and stand for election; there is also provision for the co-option of members of the PCC and the incumbent is ex-officio a member and the Chair.
The PCC has had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Parish continued to prosper and to serve God faithfully during 2025 with committed worshipping communities offering prayer and praise, and strong pastoral links to the wider village community as we strived to “Live Christ’s Story”. The important part the Church plays in the village was evidenced by the significant number of funerals, weddings and baptisms conducted and by strong attendance at events and services such as Remembrance Sunday and Christmas carol services. The Parish was in vacancy for the first nine months of the year, the previous vicar having retired in October 2024, and a new incumbent, Rev Sarah Cliff, was licensed in October. During the 12 month vacancy the Parish was ably served and led by a team of lay and clerical staff, but it is good now to have a new vicar in place. The Rev Cliff has taken up residence in a recently modernised four-bedroom house acquired by the Diocese to serve as the vicarage as the former vicarage has been sold.
Worship: Sunday Worship continued to be the mainstay of Church life, offering prayer and praise, with congregants in turn being renewed and strengthened to go out and serve the Lord. Café Church grew strongly with families and Café Church Communion services were held for the first time in September and December. Youth provision was extended by expansion of the youth groups associated with Café Church. Morning attendances at our more traditional services remained similar to the previous year and the main 9:15 Parish Communion was streamed on Facebook, attracting a substantial following both live and watching the recordings. Worship continued to be enhanced by our excellent choir. “Little Fishes” (weekly toddler group incorporating worship and socialising) continued to meet a significant need among young families in the village as did the monthly Coffee Lounge afternoon services for the elderly – Christ Church truly cares for all ages in the village from 0 to 100!
Easter and Christmas services were well supported with over a 1000 attendances at our Carol Services and Christmas Eve & Day Services over the Christmas period.
Our 12[th] century church, All Saints, was the summer venue for weekly communion and monthly Sunday evening
Taize worship.
In addition to the regular worship, special services during the year included quarterly Church Parades, a very well attended Remembrance Sunday, the Captain Cook Commemoration attended by the Leader of North Yorkshire Council and the Leader of the Parish Council, and the licensing and collation of the new Vicar.
During the vacancy, the Parish was most grateful for the support of Bishop Barry, Archdeacon Amanda and clergy from elsewhere in the Deanery and Middlesbrough. We were most privileged to have Archbishop Stephen come to lead our Good Friday Devotion.
Study Groups: Our various study groups continued to meet throughout the year and topics included “God’s Book, an Honest Look at the Bible’s 7 Toughest Topics”, “The Whole Christmas Story”, “The Psalms” and studying Jesus’ ministry using the TV series, “The Chosen”. Additionally we shared in a Lent Course with the other Churches in the village.
Pastoral Care: In addition to the work of our licensed ministers, our Pastoral Visiting Group visited the housebound on a regular basis, and we also gathered many older people together for monthly afternoon services.
Community Involvement: Many of our Church members played an active role volunteering in various groups in our village as well as at a charity, Genesis, based in Middlesbrough. We supported the Foodbank in Middlesbrough with monthly collections of food. The Church also supported local and national causes, including Tear Fund, Toy Box and Open Doors with monetary donations totalling £17,310. The Church launched a periodic Newsheet, “Spire”, which has been widely appreciated.
The churches and the Parochial Hall continued to be well used for community activities, events and concerts.
Occasional Offices: The Parish still had many Occasional Offices – Baptisms (10), Weddings (6) and Funerals (17)
Church School: The Church enjoyed close links with Marwood Church of England Infant School and Roseberry County Primary Academy in the village. A small team from the Church visited the former on a weekly basis with the school coming into church each half term for Festivals or an assembly also attended by parents and family..
Safeguarding : PCC members, staff and volunteers received regular safeguarding training and safeguarding continued to have a high profile. We are blessed with a most diligent Safeguarding Officer. There were no safeguarding instances to report in 2025.
Maintenance: The Church continued to be well maintained, cleaned and decorated and remained open each day for visitors and private prayer. It is well used.
The way ahead: My prayer is that 2026 brings new opportunities to share the message of Christ's love and reach new people in worship and in service to our community.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES AND AFFAIRS
2025 was in many ways a time of transition with the church in vacancy for most of the year. In October we were delighted to welcome our new vicar, Rev Sarah Cliff. Church life continued much as normal during the vacancy and for this we are most grateful for the efforts of our non-stipendiary clergy Jon and Geoff and our readers Margaret, Peter and Nick
Although the number of planned givers remained at the healthy level of 140, a number had not increased their giving for many years. Accordingly, the PCC decided to hold a mini stewardship appeal in May, led by 3 members of our ministry team. This resulted in 36 members of the congregation increasing their giving which will total £5,000 in a full year. As a result, planned giving increased from £80,356 in 2024 to £83,654 in 2025. However, a significant reduction in funerals and weddings led to a fall in general giving which was not compensated by two legacies totaling £2,000. Overall, our unrestricted income fell to £121,120 compared to the budget of £126,200
Last year, following the Gift Day, designated funds were opened to preserve funds for the repair of the church Spire, to develop an enhanced audio-visual system for streaming services and to develop a plan to encourage more young people to participate in church life, primarily through growth of the Café Church.
Following a detailed survey of the Spire, the PCC decided to proceed with the repairs and repointing as identified in the Quinquennial Inspection. Two quotations were obtained and Taylor Hastwell were selected at a price of £25,440. Grant funding was sought and by the year end a total of £18,900 was secured, including £5,000 allocated from the Gift Day receipts. We are very grateful for the financial support received from York Historic Churches Trust, Benefact Trust and the Jack Brunton Trust. A further grant is expected which should enable us to proceed with the work in March 2026.
The designated fund has also been used to secure the services of Big Kids to allow us to develop the growing Café Church.
Investigations are still being undertaken to improve the church sound system and simplify arrangements for the streaming of services
In 2024, the PCC decided to reduce the Freewill Offer to the Diocese to £90,000 but to keep mission giving from general funds at £5,000. Otherwise operating costs remained similar to the previous year. We finally resolved the problems with our energy supplier, SSE, who eventually provided up-to-date consumption figures and invoices. However as a result of the exceptionally poor service we have received from SSE, we will not be renewing the contract next March. Unrestricted expenditure fell to £127,018 compared to the budget of £126,200
Overall, the Church incurred a deficit of £5,898 on unrestricted funds for the year compared to the budget
For our Christmas appeal this year, we chose Teesside Hospice, a familiar local charity. A total of £2,092 was raised which was significantly higher than last year and demonstrates the importance of choosing charities with whom the local population can engage. Also at Christmas, we ran a customary “Memory Tree” with donations in memory of loved ones being directed towards Herriot Hospice Homecare
From our general funds we made donations totalling £5,000 to five worthy Christian charities both locally and internationally. Including collections taken at weddings, funerals, baptisms and appeals a total of £17,311 was distributed to 31 different charitable causes during the year
All Saints church opened as normal for visitors during the year. Visitor numbers and donations showed a significant increase over the previous year. Following the Gift Day in 2024, a number of repairs and minor restoration work was carried out –windows and doors were repainted and the sundial on the front porch was restored
The Church Hall had another excellent year with regular user groups and many new users. There was a healthy bank balance of £2,823 at the year end.
Once again, I’d like to thank John & Ynez Clarke, Helen Dickinson, Jean Goat, Robin Harmar and the welcome team for their hard work and support to enable our finances to be maintained in good order.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice.
The financial statements are prepared on-a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
Restricted funds represent 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 at the end of each year is carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not normally invest separately for each fund.
Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes
Income: Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and Legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. Interest is accounted for when received. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. Incoming resources are generally accounted for gross except fees which are net of amounts paid directly to the Diocese and other third paries
Expenditure: Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The Diocesan freewill offering is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fixed assets
Consecrated and benefice property is not included in accordance with S10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011
Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the Church's inventory, which can be inspected at any reasonable time. For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements.

Investments are valued at market value at 31 December
