Yatton Moor Parish
Report of the PCC
For the year ended 31 December 2024
THE YATTON MOOR PCC has a responsibility. with the Team clergy. to consulttogether on matters of general
concern and importance to the parish. The church is called to be pastoral- to look after individual people; to
be engaged in mission - telling the Good news, nurturing new believers. to respond to human need with
loving service; to seek to challenge unjust structures. and to strive to safeguard the integrity of creation. and
to be ecumenical- to encourage good relations with other Christian denominations. The PCC is responsible
for the maintenance and repair of the churches of St Mar¢s, St John's, and All Saints,, and for the movables
in the churches and for the churchyards at All Saints. and St. John's.
The objective of Yatton Moor PCC is to fulfil its aim and purpose through its activities. In so doing it Is mindful
of three factors:
As Christians we believe we cannot fulfil our objectives without the guidance and work of God's Holy
Spirit at work within us.
It would not be possible to achieve our objectives without the considerable contribution of
volunteers Within the life of the church and the PCC is grateful to them for all that they do.
The encouragin& supporting and equipping of laity in the churches remains a prioritv.
The PCC has had regard to the Charity Commission public benefit guidance. where relevant.
An outline of activities and achievements of the past year are highlighted under the following headings below.
Further specific details of activities may be given at the Annual Parochial Church meetings.

The last parish Rector. Revd rim Scott left in May 2022 and ourTeam of five churche5 {the three churches ofthe
Yatton Moor parish, and the two churches of the Cleeve with Claverham parish) is moving from having two full-
time stipendiary priests plus one house-for-duty priest to having a single stipendiary priest and one house-for-
duty priest. With no qualified applicants in response to repeated advertisements, we have followed Bishop
Michael's guidance in beginning the process of changing from a 'team' ministry to a 'group' ministry. A full-time
stipendiary priest will be in charge of Yatton Moor. and a 'hou5e-for-dut¢ priest will becorne the incumbent of
Cleeve with Claverham. The two will be expected to work together, and we will continue to share common
resources, especially one part time administrator. Both parish profiles have been rewritten and the two posts
advertised {Feb 20251. We are very grateful to those who committed significant time and effort to this process.

For the year ended 31 December 2024
l. Staffing
The Yatton Moor parish employs a total of 12 staff- 7 Pre-school staff, l Team Administrator, 3
organists/keyboard players and l Music Leader.
In addition to the employed staff there are.. l Lay Worship Assistant (holding the Bishop's Commendation}. 2
Pastoral Assistants Iholding the Bishop's Commendation), l Licensed Reader, and 3 retired clergy. We have
also been supported by retired Bishops Mike Hill and Alastair Redfern.
2. Safeguarding
We continue to have in place a strong team of Safeguarding Officers across the Team and we thank them all.
We have a clear process of Safer Recruiting within the Team and continue to work within the guidelines of the
House of Bi5hop5' Safeguarding Policy and Practice Guidance. All necessary procedures for ensuring safer
recruiting, DBS checks and training are in place and are carried out. At the end of last year. Bath & Wells Diocese
changed its DBS provider to Thirtyone.'Eight, which has been providing high-level support and guidance on DBS
matters to the safeguarding officers.
3. Worship and prayer
The ongoing life ofworship and prayer has continued throughouttheyear, with one or two services each Sunday
across Kenn and Kingston Seymour, and a Sunday service each week at St Marys, except for combined team
th
services on 5 Sundays in a month. Services marked Ash Wednesday, Holy week. Ascension. and Christmas as
usual. Morning Prayer online on two days a week continued to provide a valued opportunity for 6- 10 people
acros5 the five churches to pray together.
Services have been divided about equally between eucharistic worship. and services of the word. with 'AII
togetherf setvices for families at Kenn and Kingston. Non-eucharistic worship has been led by both clergy and
lay leaders. Regular worshippers lat least once per monthl for the three churches total 125, compared with 143
in 2023. Some of this decrease is sadly due to the deaths of church members, but some must reflect the strain
of a long vacancy- well over two years at the end of 2024.
4. Mission
Our churches have emphasised being places of welcome and worship. 'All Together ' services and festival
services at Kingston Seymour and Kenn have continued to include some families with children. Families with
children are not regularly seen at st Marfs. but we have seen two new adults attending.
Hospitality has been a hallmark of our mission and provides a way of linking with a wider section of our
community. All Saints, held regular cream teas from Easter to the autumn and social events such as a Burns
night. These both raise funds and connect people with their church. St Marys held monthly coffee mornings.
The 'warm welcome, after school group at St Marfs has continued with 4- 8 children and a regular group of
mothers.

Yatton Moor Parish
Report of the PCC
For the year ended 31 December 2024
St Marfs Pre-school has continued to serve the community with its Staff providing suitable activities Monday
to Friday mornings during term time. Links with Yatton Schools continued to be expressed by the school using
St Mary's for several services through the year. Three volunteers from our parish are now regularly part of the
Yatton 'Open the book, team, running Bible story telling assemblies fortnightly during term time. This activity is
organised together with the Yatton Methodist church. Link5 have yet to be formed with the new Chestnut Park
school.
Monthly services have been conducted at the Strawberry Gardens assisted living home. at Yatton Hall and at
Somerset House. Choir groups from two of our churches sang carols at four such places, and two pubs in the
weeks before Christmas.
A wide range of pastoral work has been done by Lay Pastoral Assistants, retired clergy and by volunteers,
including home communion for the sick and into care homes; visits and prayers with those at the end of life- and
the unsung checking on each other that is part of our care for each other.
The Yatton and Winscombe Chorale la group recognised as a 'PCC activiWI have continued to meet and practice
in St Mary's Chapter House. They held a very special concert marking Advent at St Marys in December 2024.
5. Care of the church buildings
There has been active work at each of the Yatton Moor Parish churches to care for the buildings.
St Marys continues to be troubled with unfixed roof leaks. although causes are reasonably well under-
stood. at the time of writin& our architect John Redfern is still being pressed to come up with a speci-
fication for works.
All Saints slate to chancel and vestry roof has had a major overhaul.
Stjohn's church has not needed majorwork. Plans are progressingto makethe entrance doorway more
welcoming.
6. Open churches and occasional offices.
We pay tribute and give thanks to many people including those who open and lock up, keep the buildings clean,
those who provide and arrange flowers, those who change seasonal furnishings and to the bell ringer5. The St
Mary'5 churchyard volunteer group continue to meet monthly to maintain aspects of the churchyard not
covered by North Somerset Council,. volunteers / working parties also care for the churchyards at Kingston
Seymour and Kenn. All these things make the church buildings places of welcome for people whether they come
for quiet reflection, as a visitor to the heritage. to a milestone event or for regular worship. Many people notice
how, when they are in church for cleaning or other duty. visitors will drop in. These places of worship are valued
and appreciated by far more people than attend church Servi￿5.
During the past year we have had a number of'occasional offices" across the team-

7. Finance
We wish to pay tribute and give sincere thanks to our Treasurer and all those who have been involved In the
financial aspects of the mission and ministry of the Parish. We remain very grateful for the significant generosity
of all those who give to maintain the life of our churches and those who are active in fundraising.
The Parish share for 2024 was not paid in full in 2024 for the first time in many years. We sought approval for
discount in view of the extended vacancy: the diocese showed understanding but did not give formal
permission.
Regular giving is the backbone of our income, with fund raising events, room hire. and fees all providing
valuable support. In 2024 we held an auttion as a major fund-raising event. which was very successful. Thank
vou to those who arranged events and gave items for auction; people from Kenn and Kingston Seymour were
prominent in this; the auction contributed significantly to a positive financial outcome to the year, which also
Saw major repairs to the roof of All Saints Church. We are very grateful to the Friends of All Saints for a very
generous grant towards this repair.
8. Charitable giving.
In line with the policy set by the Yatton Moor PCC of giving away 5% of all general fund lunrestrictedl income
from planned givin& collections and income tax recovered thereon, £6,000 was given to charities in 2024 from
the Yatton Moor PCC. In addition, we have made special collections to the sum of £2.386.

b. Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, It

has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executorls} to the Trust
that a distribution will be made. or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole
or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been
notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution.
Gift Aid receivable is included in income where there 15 a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount
received on 3 donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the
initial donation unless specified otherwise.
c. Expendlture
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the
charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and
the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and
has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly
attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of
resources.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

16. RESERVE POLICY
It is the PCC policy to maintain reserves on the General Fund as a sufficient level, currently three
months of annual expenditure, to enable it to carry out its objectives and to ensure financial
continuity in the event of significant variation to income or expenditure. The balance of this fund
at the year end was £119.17512023- £116.1751 which represents six months12023.' six months)
of normal expenditure; consequently the policy objective was met in 2024.
The Reserves in the principal Restricted Funds are considered sufficient to meet any short term
needs but rnajor expenditure arising from the recent Quinquennial report of the fabric of St
Mary's Church and the wish to make major changes at All Saints, Church to provide toilets and
other amenities will both require significant fund-raising and grant seeking.
