OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Statement of Purpose
The purpose of the Charity as set out in its governing document is to promote in the ecclesiastical
parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC also has
overall financial accountability for the local church and its buildings. In this Parish as much as possible
has been delegated to the four DCCS who have a direct responsibility for this mission in their Districts
under the leadership of their particular ordained minister.
Summary of Charltable Activitles
Throughout the year the Pcc's main activities in relation to its charitable purposes as set out above
have been to oversee and assist in the management of the four DCCS who have in turn largely attended
directly to the delivery of the Charity's primary objectives in their Districts. In carrying out their role
as Trustees, the PCC members have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission.
The PCC met five times in 2024.
Matters considered included:
lal Receiving reports from each of the four DCCS;
Ibl Treasurer's reports and financial issues, including the Parish Share,.
Ic) Deanery Synod reports;

lel Preparation for APCM, includin8 the annual accounts, and
If) Oevelopments in safeguarding.
Publlc Benefit
The PCC and DCCS take account of the Charity Commission general guidance on public benefit when
reviewing its purpose and in considering how planned activities meet that aim.
Throughout this report we endeavour to explain how our purpose, objectives and activities benefit
the public. As part of the Church of England, we aim for our mission, ministry and worship to be open
to all. Our goal is a thriving Christian presence servlng God in every part of our Parish.
Our authorised ministers and others are available to provide spiritual welfare to all individuals within
the community we serve. In addition to regular weekday/ Sunday services that are open to all, a wide
range of events and courses are available for those seeking to explore their relationship with God
further.
Through social action, we aim to respond to the needs of our local community and the wider world.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
At the start of the year our Rector Rev Canon Nick Clarke retired in January. It was a fond
farewell with a real sense of celebration for the seven years that Nick and Cherry had been
with us. Much has happened over that time and there has been an increase in community
engagement, growth of congregations and a real value that as a family of six churches we are
stronger together.
As a result of Nick's departure, the responsibility for the Radipole District fell on the two
Church Wardens, Richard Sloan and Liz Bartlett, with support from the congregations, and
Rev Tom Coopey and Rev Jo Haine and several retired clergy. We are grateful all who have
stepped up during this time of vacancy across the Parish.
Below are the various reports from our family of churches and projects in the Parish. The
reports are varied and diverse and represent a mixed economy of various people groups and
activities. There is much to give thanks for what the Parish has achieved in delivering it's
charitable objectives in supporting the communities they are part of through practical and
spiritual care, asjesus would ask usto do, making him known through word and action. Loving
our communities and all who live in them, making a difference, making Jesu5 known.
Radlpole - St Ann's and St Aldhelm's Churches- Rlchard Sloan and Liz Bartlett, Church
Wardens
Rlchard wrltes..... The writer in the bible, St Paul urges us to press forward with our eyes firmly fixed
on Jesus, and so we should but, sometimes it is worth a period of reflection, to give thanks to God for
the journey He has taken us on, to acknowledge successe5 and shortcomings, and to set forward with
fresh intent.
Back in April 2024 we were still picking up the pieces after the two break-ins that we had,
dealing with the distress of the desecration of our Churches and the sheer practicality of
clearing and re-sorting. Thankfully that is behind us now. We had become increasinglv
concerned at the state of the Church roofs because of the damp appearing and set about
planning for re-roofing. Before launching into the full project, John Liles has been busy
seeking out funding available and has so far achieved a significant £5,000 from Dorset Historic
Churches Trust - for which we are very grateful. Meetings with the Diocesan Fund-Raising
Officer have been very helpful for next steps to take. The memorial Church windows need
repairing and we are looking to get that work done as soon as the Church window specialist
can fit us in. Regular maintenance has continued, and many thanks go to those who have
quietly got on with keeping things safe and working. This includes the gardening team who
faithfully keep our flower beds attractive and well-presented.
Congregation numbers have steadied, after a bit of a dip, for the 10.30 sep4ice. B@9 numbers
have held up very well. During the year we have had to bid farewell to several of our faithful
members who have gone to be with their Lord, and we have gained newcomers as well.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF RADIPOLE AND MELCOMBE REGIS
ANNUAL REPORT
During this vacancy we have been blessed with support from our Bishops and Archdeacon
and to our Parish clergy team who have lead worship and provided help and guidance. Also,
to our own retired clergy a huge thank you: retirement has not stopped continuing faithful
leadership in worship and pastoral matters. Our pastoral team has been very active,
expanding their work in caring for those in need- visiting the sick and those in care homes,
getting alongside those bereaved and in need of help.
As ever, our Music Group has supported and lead worship week in, week out. Children's and
Families work has been extended by Laura Lark and it was great to welcome the whole of
Radipole School to Christmas seriices. Our Carol Service, Christingle and Christmas Day
seniices saw the Church full. The Youth Alpha course and work with young people has been
a brilliant adventure.
Especially evident this last year has been the vision of every member ministry at work. So
many members have actively engaged in Christian witness both within our fellowship and in
the wider community. Hospitality at home, in @The Helm; The Tots and Tinies Group; Friday
Friends; the Foodbank; CAP,, Family Matters; our mission partners; Warm Welcome, Westham
Bridge Saturday nights feeding hungry people. and, of course, the Toddlers group which
continues to draw in so many from our community and included around 100 at the Easter
Tots, Praise. Also, we couldn't do without Flower team and Sound and AV team and our Life
Groups, with Carol Maisie's oversight. Thanks especially to the deputy wardens for their
constant and enthusiastic support and without whom we couldn't function.
Also serving both Church and community, our Church Centre, with the indispensable Trudy
and Ruth and the Centre Management Team offering a public face and very effective hub of
communication.
No doubt I have omitted some from this list and for that l apologise but all of us together have
seen some wonderful work, we have witnessed the power of the Holy Spirit, we have heard
the Word preached faithfully and been given opportunity to serwe our Lord and Saviour.
Llz Wrltes...... St Ann's Our regular numbers continue to average 30 at the Sunday morning
service. Sadly, we have lost several of our longtime members of the congregation this year.
They will be greatly missed. The monthly Coffee mornings and Side by Side bereavement café
meetings have been very well supported. They provide an excellent local community
outreach. Frequent use is being made of the Schoolroom, with a good number of booking5
for parties, etc. 2nd Radipole Guides continue to join us once a month, when they contribute
to the service and take on the serving of refreshments afterwards. We are pleased to welcome
their new leader, Miriam Orrell.
The St Ann's Celebration, over 27 and 28 July 2024, welcomed large numbers of visitors over
both days. We received many positive comments for the flower displays, churchyard walks, a
concert, historic information about the church and a beautiful Evensong. We continue to be
blessed by Pat Kirby and her team fortheir flower ministry enhancing our church building. We
thank Peter Kirby who has repaired the damage done by vandals to our doors, created new
signs for the memorial garden and completed many otherjobs for the church building.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF RADIPOLE AND MELCOMBE REGIS
ANNUAL REPORT
The memorial garden continues to be of great benefit in the parish for the ashes of loved ones
and the benches nearby have been used for personal quiet moments enjoying the beautiful
views and flowers. The night Storage heaters in the Church have been replaced. We also had
to have the three window panes and the boiler in the schoolroom replaced as well as minor
repairs to both the Church and Schoolroom roofs. We are grateful to our gardener/caretaker
lan and five faithful volunteers who work tirelessly in all weathers maintaining the buildings
and churchyards every week. There was a problem with the pull mechanism for the recently
repaired bell and this has been repaired. The bell is used on Sunday mornings to welcome the
congregation and at funerals. It was a joy to ring it to celebrate VE day.
A new monthly home group has started, several special meals have been enjoyed by the
congregation and also seasonal ser4ices held. As I come to the end of my second year as
Church Warden, I would like to thank Margaret Horton, for her continued support and hard
work, and to thank Richard Sloan and the congregations of both Churches for their support
and encouragement.
St Mary's Church, Weymouth - Rev Tom Coopev
Tom wrltes...
Being the church in the heart of Weymouth continues to be a wonderful
opportunity to make a difference in our town. This year has, once again, been a busy year of
outreach activities, worship services, community engagement and building work.
Work on the new Accessible Entrance began in early 2025 and all the planning permissions
and Faculty's are now also in place for the restoration of the clock and bell. These three major
projects should be completed by the end of July 2025. A lot of hard work has gone on behind
the scenes in terms of fundraising, planning and applying for the necessary permissions. We
look forward to the positive difference these works will make.
8reakfast Church is growing, and it is encouraging to see an average of 25 people attending
each week. Some of those attending have been Christians for many years but there are several
who are really seeking to find out more about Jesus and the Christian faith. Breakfast is led
by David and Judy Parsons and their growing team of leaders.
The 11am congregation has also grown and this service continues to offer a valuable
opportunity for worship and fellowship in a more traditional context. The services are led by
a great team of lay preachers, retired clergy, musicians and volunteers. Communion is
th
celebrated on 2nd and 5 Sundays and Rev Tom Coopey usually leads and preaches at these
services.
The year has also involved regular lunch time concerts as well as annual services. The Iron
Man Prayer service was held on the eve of the Iron Man event in September. We had the
Samuel Mico service on Palm Friday -well attended by the Mayor and Lord Lieutenant, a
number of young people and community leaders. The Precious Moments Service was held
on Sunday 6 April, led by Rev. Betty Port and was a very moving seniice, giving comfort and
support to those who attended.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF RADIPOLE AND MELCOMBE REGIS
ANNUAL REPORT
At Christmas we had our Carols by Candlelight seniice. Our Good Friday service was a
beautiful service of contemplation, the Passion readings and music. Following the Open-Air
service in the Town Centre we had over 100 people come into St Mary's for coffee, tea and
hot cross buns. The church was decorated on Saturday and on Easter Sunday we celebrated
together with Holy Communion and wonderful Easter hymns accompanied by Paul Selley's
magnificent organ playing.
Community engagement has continued throughout the year with the Simeon Room and
church used for a range of activities, lunches, coffee mornings craft groups, Alpha course,
prayer and worship times and opportunities for discussion. The church continues to seek to
respond to what the Lord is calling us to as we offer St Mary's as a place of welcome and
worship in the centre of Weymouth.
St John's Church - Rev Tom Coopey
Tom writes.... St John's continues to seek to live out it's core values of being a; Welcoming,
Worshipping, Loving and Growing church.
th
This year we added ' Serving, as a 5 core value to the list in recognition that we are here to
serve our community and can only do so if the church is committed to serving and
volunteering in our various projects.
Led by Susie Coopey, our Children's and Families Worker, we continue to engage with children
and families in several ways. Little Fishes usually sees between 40-50 people each Monday
and the Connect Groups continue to thrive on Thursdays. Our work with St Johns school
continue5 through leading Collective Worship each week, representation on the Governing
body, the TLG coaching scheme and hosting services in church at key points throughout the
year.
Our Youth Work also continues to go well-overseen byjoe Hobdayour Parish Youth Pioneer.
Ignite (Sundays) Youth Alpha (Tuesdays), Connect 5.15 and Youth Club (Thursdays) are all
well attended and offer a range of activities to our young people. Joe is also part of the
Chaplaincy Team at All Saints School and goes into St John's School and Weymouth College.
The Summer of Fun programme was a highlight once again.
This year we trained and commissioned another 7 Lay Pastoral Assistants and so we now have
large team of people offering Pastoral care to individuals and local care homes. Home
Groups, and Prayer Ministry continue to be a really important part of church life. The church
continues to support overseas Misson and this year we have enjoyed visits from a number of
our Mission Partners.
The Pot Luck lunches have run for most of the year, but this project has recently come to an
end. The team have an opportunity to run this project at The Nest and thi5 seems the right
way forward. Open Church on Wednesdays continues to offer a much-appreciated place of

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF RADIPOLE AND MELCOMBE REGIS
ANNUAL REPORT
welcome, community, friendship and hospitality. There are plans for a weekly Community
Lunch - with music and testimonies- to start soon.
Permission has been granted to install a new AV system, and this will be done in August 2025.
Faculty applications continue to be works in progress for the wall repairs and replacement of
the West porch gate. Huge thanks are due to our Church Wardens for their patience and
perseverance on these projects. Extensive work has also been done in the church grounds
enabling us to plant around the grounds in accordance with the conditions of the permission
we had to extend the car parking area.
The church has also appreciated having a paid administrator In place. This has provided much
support to church staff and leaders. and we look forwards to seeing this post continue in the
future.
The church has grown, and we are prayerfully engaging with a vision and strategy for the next
chapter of mission and ministry at St Johns.
Hope House. Chlldren's, Youth and Communlty Hub - Terry Thomas - (Overseer for Hope
House and Park Church Centre)
Terry wrltes.... Hope House is situated in the grounds of St John's C of E Church. Hope House
is the centre for parish youth and community work. It is also the office base for the parish
Youth Pioneer and The Hope House Adrninistrator the latter is also the Personal Assistant
(PA) to the Vicar of St John's Church.
Youth and children's activitiestake place on Sundays and Saturdays and in the evenings during
the working week - and in the school holidays.
Hope House is a fundamental and vital part of youth and children's work, and thi5 asset is of
increasing use and importance to the whole parish and St John's Church.
Some rooms in Hope House are let to the Lantern Trust (local charity) for the delivery of NHS
Dorset Access Wellbeing services, These services are provided Monday to Friday during
normal office hours. At all other times, the building is available to the parish and St John's as

and collaboration in the delivery of services in support of the local community.
Park Church Centre (PCC) - Terry Thomas

John's Church for the purpose of worship and other events.
Parish Youth Pioneer- Joe Hobday
Joe writes.... During this year, youth work at Hope House and across the parish has continued
to grow and flourish. The secondary-age youth club has seen a consistent increase in
attendance, regularly welcoming between 35 and 45 young people each week. The Tuesday
Bible Study has also developed steadily, with around 12 to 14 young people attending weekly
for deeper discussion and spiritual growth. In addition, parish youth engagement has
expanded significantly within local schools, with increased involvement in Religious Education
lessons, one-to-one mentoring, and the delivery of assemblies on a wide range of relevant
topics throughout the year. Overall, the growth in participation and the deepening
relationships with young people reflect the ongoing strength and impact of the youth
ministry.
St Marfs Church, Chlckerell - Rev Jo Halne
Jo wrltes.... As we gather once again for our Annual Meeting, it is with gratitude and hope
that I reflect on the life of St Mary's during 2024. We continue to be a worshipping,
welcoming, and witnessing presence in the heart of Chickerell, giving thanks for all that God
is doing among us and through us.
This year has been rich with moments of shared ministry and community celebration. It was
a particular joy to host joint services with our friends from Emmanuel Church, including our
Lent Lunch, Good Friday service, and the Remembering Loved Ones service in the autumn.
These occasions deepen our fellowship across the parish and remind us of the strength we
find in partnership.
Our special service to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day, was a poignant and dignified
gathering, made even more special by the presence of the Mayor of Chickerell. Together, we
honoured those who served and prayed for peace in our own time. A real highlight for our
church family was celebrating the ordination of our curate, Dan, to the priesthood in June.
It's a privilege to walk alongside him in ministry and to see his gifts being used so faithfully in
our midst. We were also pleased to welcome Anthony Childs, who began a placement with
us in September. Though based more regularly at Emmanuel, he has joined us from time to
time at St Mary's, and we are grateful for his presence and ministry among us.
Behind the scenes, but no less important! there has been extensive work in the churchyard
this year. Several trees have been felled or pollarded, and we're grateful that they came down
in a controlled fashion land not of their own accord praise the Lordl). We are also thankful
to the volunteer team from St Ann's who helped restore the churchyard wall. Their cheerful
labour and skill have preserved something important.
Christmas brought joy, candlelight, and a full church! Our services were well attended, with
numbers up from the previous year. It's always encouraging to see the church filled with
worshippers, familiar faces and new, sharing in the story of Christ's birth. Alongside these
11

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF RADIPOLE AND MELCOMBE REGIS
ANNUAL REPORT
special events, the heartbeat of St Ma￿5 continues to be our regular worship, the steady
rhythm of prayer, praise, and sacrament in our beautiful building. We are blessed with a
strong sense of community in our congregation. Our fundraising efforts this year have been
both fruitful and fun. Coffee mornings, our stall at the Village Café, book sales, a Christmas
Bazaar, and other events have not only raised essential funds but also given us opportunities
to connect with the wider community. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has baked,
brewed, donated, or done the washing up.
As always, I want to give thanks for those who serve so faithfully in our church. To our retired
clergy, our Lay Pastoral Assistants, our steadfast Churchwarden Carole, and to Yvonne, Nige,
all who serve on the DCC, and give of their time and money thank you. Your dedication, time,
and love for St Mary's make all the difference. Whether your ministry is seen or unseen, know
that it is valued, and that through it, you are sen4ing Christ.
In all these things services, community events, ordinations, tree surgery, and the joyful
noise of carol singing we give thanks to God. It is Christ who calls us together, Christ who
sustains us, and Christ who sends us out in love.
Looklng Forward: A Vlslon for Mlsslon In Southill and Chlckerell
As we give thanks for the year that has passed, we also look forward with anticipatlon to
where God is calling us next. The work of the Church is never only about what has been it is
always about what comes next, where the Spirit is leading us. As one character in the recent
film Conclave powerfully puts it: "The Church is not tradition. The Church is not the past. The
Church is what we do next.
That vision stirs somethin8 deep within us as we consider the future of our churches in
Chickerell and 5outhill. We are not here simply to preserve what has been, but to shape what
might be to become ever more a people of hope, hospitality, and mission. I believe now is
the time for bold, Spirit-filled imagination as we respond to the needs and opportunities
around us.
In particular I believe God is calling us to grow together more intentionally as two
congregations, seeking his kingdom across both communities. With two local primary schools,
vibrant neighbourhoods, and continuing new housing development, we can clearly see our
mission field: fertile ground for growing God's kingdom, especially among children and
families.
To meet this moment, I believe the time is right to explore appointing a Children and Families
Minister, someone who can serve across both churches, building on the strong work already
happening at Emmanuel, pioneering new ideas at St Mary's, and helping us build lasting, faith-
rooted relationships with our schools and wider communities.
To make this vision a reality, we will need to step forward in faith, seeking external funding,
exploring creative partnerships, and discerning together how we can best offer what we have.
But more than anything, it will require us. as the family of God, to keep saying yes" yes to
being part of God's mission, here and now.

been such a year of celebration with several big and significant things happening from the
th
50 celebration of Emmanuel to the Kings Coronation, and so I was a little worried that 2024
would seem flat in comparison. However. as I reflected and spent time looking through
photographs and reminding myself of the events of 2024, my worries dispersed. Although it
didn't include the high-profile events that the year before had, I was able to reflect on a year
of faithful worship and loving service to the community around us. The vision to be a church
growing deeper, growing wider and growing younger, is what we have continued to do.
Growing Deeper: We have continued with the pattern of two Sunday services, offering
different expressions of church. Both the 9.30 and TEN45 congregations have grown, slowly
but growth is evident. The majority of people are committed to one congregation but there
is some small overlap. Our midweek Holy Communion on a Tuesday continues to provide a
quiet, short said service and we do have a few people who come to this service instead of
Sundav.
This year our Sunday teaching has been a mixture of lectionary readings and several sermon
series including the 5 Marks of Mission, the Armour of God, a summer series exploring
different Heros of Faith & also a series on Colossians. We have also spent time exploring some
of the Spiritual Disciplines through the Practicing the Way Course, During Holy Week, we
hosted the Parish Maundy Thursday service with a light meal, in the summer a group of us
went to New Wine and over Christmas we saw a rise in people coming to church and an
increase in pre-covid numbers for the first time. Ministry has continued at Weymouth Manor
Care Home, and our LPA team continue to offer pastoral care and home communion to those
who cannot get to church. We also started an lona Healing Service and have found that this
congregation includes people from across the Parish and Deanery.
We continue to be a church with a focus on growing deeper into all that God is calling us to
and this is evident in the ongoing vocational work that we do. Our curate Rev'd Dan Harland
was ordained priest in 2024. Anthony Childs continued to discern his calling to ordination and
having been accepted began his training and was able to remain at Emmanuel for his
placement. He has a local learning group made up of members of the congregation and l am
his training supervisor. We have also continued to encourage Lay Ministry and in 2024 we ran
the Sanctuary Course offering Mental Health Training for LPA'S.
Growing Wider: The theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer was famously quoted for saying 'the
church is the church only when it exists for others., When I look at the ongoing ministry of
Emmanuel this is what I see. A church that seeks to grow wider, bless others and show the
love of God to our needly world. If you have never been here on a Tuesday morning, I would
really encourage you to come along to Coffee shop, it's just a wonderful example of how this
church is a blessing to the community. We have people who see this place, this church as a
13

ANNUAL REPORT
midweek sanctuary, they aren't coming to anything we would call worship, but they come for
community, for fellowship. They know what here they are welcome, accepted and seen. The
same thing happens every Thursday morning with babies and toddlers, parents, carers and
grandparents filling this place with joy. Over the last year we have seen the Matinee Movies
become established into a bi-monthly pattern and in December the Afternoon Tea events
started, meaning that we now have a monthly pattern on the 1st Wednesday of the month.
These midweek events may not be worship in the traditional sense of the word, but they are
certainly a significant part of what makes us church and they are very much rooted in the
Kingdom of God and growing wider.
Growing Younger: This has been one of our priorities over the past five years and l just want
to remind us all that this isn't about prioritising children at the expense of other age groups
but instead about making sure we are a church that reflects the population around us. There
are still missing age groups in our congregation. Interestingly in the last year, the Church of
England has included Growing Younger as one of its priorities too!
Throughout 2024 the team that helps plan the TEN45 services also spent some time thinking
about other events that we could run that would help us as a church to grow younger. As part
of this we did a Back-to-school Service in September, a Light Party in October and the Southill
Sparkle event at Christmas, which saw people of all ages coming to church. We continue to
have a link with Southill Primary School, and I go into school to do assemblies and we also see
the children coming to Church for events.
As I reflected on the past year, I was reminded of the story in John 20, when the risen Jesus
appears to his disciples behind locked doors and breathes peace and purpose into their fear.
Thomas, too, is drawn deeper into faith, not through certainty, but through encounter. This
passage speaks deeply to our life as a church in 2024. Even without the big events of the
previous year, we have been a community shaped by faithful encounter with the risen Christ;
in worship, in our serving, in our gathering. Like Thomas, many among us are learning to say
again with conviction, "My Lord and my God,, not because everything 15 easy or clear, but
because Christ continues to meet us where we are, breathe peace into our midst, and call us
to believe again.
Safeguardlng- Elllott Bailey
Elllott wrltes ..... In the last year, there have been zero DBS refused and 3 reportable incidents
across the parish.
This year has been a year of transition for Parish Safeguarding, with us moving from a one
Parish Safeguarding Officer model to a three Parish Safeguarding Officer model (one per
incumbent, mirroring their responsibilities). As of February 2025, we officially moved into this
model, with myself taking up responsibilities directly related to St Mary's Weymouth. St
John's and Hope House, and Paul Mason and Lisa Fisher taking UP their respective PSO duties
also mirroring their incumbents.
Looking forward, this new structure will mean that we will be able to work together to take a
proactive and strategic approach to safeguarding across all of our parish churches, with a
14

more hands on and tailored approach to our individual churches- all the while communicating
and supporting each other to make a safe parish. We will also be focusing on implementing
safer recruitment and the safeguarding dashboard across the parish.
Parish Treasurer- Neil Biles
Neil writes .
. Thank you to all those who gave in 2024 to the work of the family of churches
called Radipole and Melcombe Regis with Chickerell. You can read about the great work that
has been achieved above. So thank you.
A large part of our finances is our employee's which includes our three Clergy. They are
funded by you through the Parish Share that we pay to the Diocese. The share covers salaries,
homes, maintenance, training for future ministry and pensions. The share covers core costs
such as administration and safeguarding and a contribution towards the work of the
Archbishops Council.

This year we employed a total of 12 staff across the six churches and three project, they play
an important part in delivering are charitable objectives. The Parish Administrator is covered
by contributions from all churche5. Other staff are covered by congregational members giving,
trusts and grants. Without these staff we would not have been able to achieve the impact in
2024. All buildings are in a reasonable state of repair and continue to be invested in and all
associated costs, such as facilities, were covered in 2024.
