THE CHARITY SHOP

The volunteers in the Charity Shop have continued to fulfil an essential service to the local community, especially to vulnerable people. Their hard work has generated a surplus of £5,817.

WOMEN’S FELLOWSHIP

Yet another good year for fellowship with more new members joining.

We have enjoyed a variety of speakers. Trevor Lewis told us about discovering the ruins of a castle down Church Hill – who would have thought Kirkby once had a castle! Ian Morgan spoke about the very varied history of Bolsover Castle – strange but true.

We had the usual favourites: crafts, afternoon tea, quizzes, harvest sale etc. etc. Our annual outing was to Sutton Observatory and to have such a wonderful place so near to us is great. A talk, film show followed by refreshments certainly made it a visit with a difference. We finished the year with our early Christmas meal, good food, good company, a great success. Proving fellowship and friendship is what we are all about.

PRIEST IN CHARGE

I do not know really what to include in my first Vicar report for the APCM so here goes…

It’s been a great 8/9 months for me, don’t know about the rest of you. I think we are seeing some of the signs of what God is doing and we have been greatly blessed by lots of new people in attendance more regularly. It’s not simply numbers that I’m bothered about, I want to see our faith and discipleship grow and I think we are seeing that too.

I have stretched myself too thinly in March and will learn from that but there has been clear steps forward for us as churches. The Lent course was well attended and it was very intense teaching and discussion. Alongside this we have had Alpha running since January and I believe many people really have benefitted from both the learning and the relationships that we have developed during this.

The children and families attendance has been both a blessing and a big surprise. It’s also where I feel we have our biggest shortcoming. Family church in March was a great start to this but I think it’s highlighted to me just how little there is for the children in a Sunday service. The appointment of a children and families team leader does help, but the reality is that they will be up at St Thomas’ and we do not have a simple opportunity to give children their own space at St Wilfrid’s. If there’s 3-5 children we can but when we are having 10+ on a Sunday morning, we cannot logistically do this safely. We will discuss my ideas at the APCM for this but I think we can all agree, though it was brilliant on Easter Sunday, this was not conducive to worship. What an amazing issue to have: too many kids coming and wanting to be involved. We do need to be pragmatic in how we develop this, to make the most of it, to sustain it and to develop it.

Service times continue to be challenging. There is no secret that this isn’t the best for either church and something needs to give at

some point. 9:30 and 11 is ridiculous for me to maintain, allows no time in between and limits me on how we respond to sermons. There’s also no social time afterwards for pastoral care or time before the service to welcome, to chat and to gauge how people are. 9am would be far better and that is what I am leaning toward. Or a more traditional communion service early at St Wilfrid’s and a service at St Thomas’ that is contemporary/family based. Either that or we have to alternate each week between buildings and I really oppose that. I want us to be open each week at both sites. These are just my thoughts and open to discussion.

This next term, as I write this I do not know the best way to proceed. Last term we launched more than NASA and this term I feel we need the balance of keeping the momentum and making things sustainable. I do not know whether this is in home groups, continuing as we are, a period of reflection, a term of encouraging people to meet each other socially (with prayer), I think we could benefit from another Alpha course given how many people continue to appear. These are all great opportunities to be having but as numbers seem to increase, our faith, discipleship and learning need to go with it - otherwise it will not be built well. We need our faith to grow deeper roots and grow deeper with one another.

All in all, I am delighted at what God is doing. There is an air of excitement and intrigue at what seems to be happening through both churches. There’s a buzz around the town and genuine support growing for what God is doing.

Please continue to pray. Pray and pray again. God is building this, not me, not us. We are blessed to be experiencing this. I’d love it to continue like this, I’d love to keep having issues because more people are coming. But I want them to know God, to seek Him and to be part of churches that are able to nourish and develop that faith, not simply an interest but a genuine faith. I believe, with God’s help and help from everyone, we will see this.

As with the church there will always be many things that could be done and needs to be done, but we are slowly getting there.

SAFEGUARDING

It’s been an interesting year for Safeguarding within the church and diocese. We have safely recruited a new tower captain, new safeguarding posters are visible in Church and in the church hall and the diocese safeguarding courses have been adhered to.

In July, Kate and I attended the annual safeguarding conference. This year’s talks included an interesting talk on all aspects of fraud and how to be a neuro diverse inclusive Church. If anyone would like more information, please see myself or Kate.

The beginning of 2026 saw the independent auditors looking at safeguarding in the diocese. This is a nationwide audit on how the Church of England is dealing with safeguarding and should be completed in 2027. As a diocese we are still waiting for the auditor’s findings and I will bring these to the PCC as soon as I get them.

As our congregation numbers are increasing it is more important that safeguarding is in the fore front of our minds, in order to keep everyone in our church safe.

May God bless you, bless our churches and bless this town.

PARISH HALL

It’s been a privilege and at times a demanding role, looking after the hall and the increasing number of bookings, seeing it grow in demand for birthday parties etc., but we have not been alone, we have the love and support of a whole host of friends, and this is where writing a report becomes frightening, the fear that yet again we may miss someone out,

There's Brenda and all the ladies who put on events to raise money for charity and help maintain things; the team who do church lunches, they are all there with their words of support and encouragement, so to each one of you, thank you, and we are so sorry if we have missed anyone out; Richard and Sam who clean the hall, not an easy task considering the increasing footfall through the hall.

This year the home Ed group, continuing to maintain the grounds at the hall as part of their caring for nature curriculum. There's planters at the back which have been donated by the probation service and bird boxes fitted to the front of the hall.

Like the church, this year has been another positive year for the church hall with regular clubs and groups, we can still say that there really is something for all ages, and there is not a day when something is not happening in the hall.... please do go onto the church web site and look under the church hall to see what's on, when, and who to contact, they really are nice.

As mentioned earlier, throughout the year the hall has hosted many fundraising lunches and dinners by a very dedicated team and if you have never been to one, then do come along, they are very popular and rightly so.

The alarm system is now fully in use and automatically sets every night with every group having their own key fob.

CHURCHWARDENS’ REPORT

This year has been very exciting for our church. We welcomed our new Priest-in-Charge, Jake and his delightful family. His installation was at St Thomas’s last June and it was a wonderful, uplifting and joyous event. Jake brings God’s word to us in a very dynamic and energetic way and we have seen an increase in Sunday attendance. There are many new faces, more children and more requests for baptisms. We are seeing our church grow which is wonderful.

A much loved member of our congregation, Susan Smailes, left a legacy to the church to enable a servery to be built. That has now been completed and we are sure you will agree that it is magnificent, a wonderful piece of carpentry using pews from the church. It looks as though it has always been there. We no longer have to have kettles and urns at the back of church or have to carry water from the vestry. Thank you Susan.

We continue to work on all those jobs which go unseen but are necessary to maintain our beautiful church and parish hall; fixing lighting, replacing fuse boards in the tower, servicing of fire extinguishers, alarms and camera's etc. The list is endless. Last year a ceiling fan fell from the roof. All ceiling fans have been checked and safety straps fitted to ensure that this doesn’t happen again.

Fewer people carry cash these days and the purchase of a card machine has proved very useful. We have taken £1,299 by using the card machine.

The Christmas Fair was really excellent and well attended and made £1000 – what an achievement. Thank you to all those who helped in any way. The period running up to Christmas was really busy and very enjoyable, watching all the rehearsals and actual productions from Orchard and Greenwood Schools. The church was packed for the Carols by Candlelight service, standing room only! Attendance at services and events throughout Advent and Christmas were up on last year. We must be doing something right!

This church always looks and feels very warm and welcoming and this is down to the lovely Wednesday group who come in every week rain or shine and get down on their hand and knees scrubbing the carpet polishing the brasses and the wood work, taking the altar cloths and linen from the communion home and so much more that goes unnoticed, so to each one of you, a very heartfelt and grateful thank you.

David Ball announced at the last PCC meeting that he would be stepping down as treasurer along with Marilyn, and so we should like to say huge thank you to them both, they have always been there quietly guiding encouraging and supporting us throughout, nothing has ever been too much trouble, no phone call or request has ever gone unanswered, they have been the strong foundation that has kept this church on a firm footing, in truth I am lost for words to express my gratitude to them so may I finish by saying thank you for everything and may God continue to truly bless you and your whole family as you begin a new chapter in your lives, and may it be glorious.

This year Malcolm is stepping down from the PCC and from opening and closing up after the community pay back on a Monday, a role that does need filling, thank you Malcolm for all you have done, for all your support, and for the special relationship you have built up with the community pay back team

Perhaps we can keep the charge still at £12 a year and consider and increase next year.

PARISH GIVING

Our sincere thanks to all our regular givers who continue to financially support St Wilfrid’s especially during this worrying time of cost of living increases, please remember that if you need to review your regular giving, you can do so at any time. We appreciate that not everyone can commit to regular giving and we are grateful to those who donate when they can.

Thank you to our new church members who have already committed to regular giving.

We should like to extend an open invitation to you all to come and have a look at the bells with a view to learning to ring so that the sound of the church bells can ring out every Sunday morning, announcing that the church is alive and well and open for worship,

The oldest bell we have was cast in 1805, but there were bells here before then, there has been a great tradition of ringing here throughout many generations and you are most welcome to join us. We have 8 bells in total and like all churches are desperately short of ringers.

Brian Vardy

and may God bless you and Mandy as the Lord leads you into a new era in your future ministry.

Both Brian and I would like to say that it is an enjoyable privilege to be your Church Wardens. Our task is made easier by everyone at St Wilfrid’s – it’s a true church family.

However, there will come a time when it is only right and proper for the position of church warden to be passed on for the church to continue and to grow, if you feel that this is your time, then firstly pray about it, talk to Jake or us, we will not be offended if you feel it is right for you to stand.

Kate Hurt and Brian Vardy Church Wardens

ESTHER TODD BEQUEST

At the end of 2025 the accumulated capital investment has increased by £8,628 to £155,421. The accumulated income increased by £7,828 to £64,073 less expenditure of £4,311 leaving a balance of £59,762. The expenditure was for the installation of the new ceiling fans and a contribution to the new drains project.

David Ball

FRIENDS OF ST WILFRID (300 CLUB)

Figures for the past year were roughly the same apart from one sad passing of a member and a couple of people declining.

One good thing is a donation that paid for a year’s prize money so as not to have to withdraw money from the account. This sadly, has now come to an end but whist it lasted it helped to build up funds in said account.

With the arrival of Jake, our new priest in charge, church is getting busier so hopefully I can get more people interested in joining.

DEANERY SYNOD

Deanery Synod met three times in 2025. We worshipped together and shared all the positive news from around the deanery.

Our first meeting was in March and focussed on Growing Leaders. We heard from Brooke, a busy young leader from St Mary Magdalene in Sutton in Ashfield, and Hilary who stepped into the role of warden for the first time, after many years in different roles.

Our July Synod explored the theme of Nurturing Prayer and explored what ‘praying earnestly’ from Acts 12 might look like. We discussed how we sustain communal prayer, and the importance of personal prayer.

In October we welcomed Revd John Allister who challenged us to consider how we welcome people to our churches, if we want to Enhance Diversity. He encouraged us to reflect our communities and consider whether we may inadvertently make people who are different from ourselves uncomfortable.

Ian Boothroyd circulated reports from General Synod and attended meetings to answer any questions and share a flavour of General Synod.

The Deanery Leadership Team continues with Martyn Bowler as interim Lay Chair, also remaining in the post of Treasurer, alongside lay representatives Joanne Parr, Peter Cook and Peter Fletcher. Clergy representatives are- Revds Trevor Raaf, David Stevenson, Hazel Robinson and Julie Cotterill.

Unfortunately, our contribution toward Diocesan Share fell in 2025 by £33,000, as the target set by the diocese increased. While we raised £664920, we reached 85.6% of the £776892 we needed. Nine churches were able to pay their allocation in full, and two were able to cover their full ministry costs. We remain very grateful for all the money which allows our diocese to continue supporting ministry in our parishes.

We were delighted to welcome Revd Jake Hyatt and his family to Kirkby in Ashfield. Huthwaite. New Cross Community Church and St Peter and St Paul in Hucknall remain in vacancy and were joined by Teversal and Skegby as we said goodbye to Revd Peter Chantry. At the end of 2025, Revd Kate Byrom was appointed as Head of Ministerial Development and Wellbeing leaving Ravenshead to start a period of vacancy in 2026.

I would strongly encourage anyone to consider becoming a deanery synod representative. If you would like more information about what the role involves, please contact me.

Malcolm Bowen

PCC SECRETARY

The Committee continues to work on behalf of St Wilfrid’s and has made progress on a number of issues, especially the servery.

Thanks must go to Brian for persevering with the faculty to get it off the ground! It’s been a busy year and we have welcomed our new Priest in Charge, Jake and his lovely family.

I have to mention two people who have given incredibly long and dedicated service to the PCC and to the administration of the church and they are David and Marilyn Ball. They have each performed their roles as Treasurer and Administrator for 4 decades, it is just astonishing isn’t it. They have now decided that it is time to take a step back from those roles. We will be looking for a Treasurer and an Administrator for the coming year. Both of these positions need filling. If you feel you have something to offer please see Jake or myself and have a chat. To David and Marilyn, we express our thanks and gratitude to you both for what you have given this church over such a long period of time. It is now time for you both to enjoy being with family and not worrying about all things related to church.

The PCC is always looking for new members. If you feel you have something to offer please join us. We meet every other month so it’s not too onerous and, dare I say it, it’s quite a lot of fun!

Kate Hurt

BELL RINGING

This year Lucy stepped down as Tower Captain and we sincerely thank her for all that she did, but Lucy being Lucy did not go without ensuring there was someone to step into the role, and so we are fortunate to welcome Shona as our new Tower Captain.

We often welcome visiting ringers from other towers to come and ring with us, or on their own if they wish to attempt ringing a quarter peal or more.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees/members of St. Wilfrid’s Parochial Church Council, Kirkby in Ashfield

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025, which are set out on pages 1-8

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Independent Examiner

As trustees of the charity, the members of the PCC are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 ( the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners in section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and

State whether particular matters have come to my attention

Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity commission.

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the 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 explanation from you the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘ true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In the course of our examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with S130 of the 2011 Act; or to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records have not been met.
