The PCC are given safeguarding updates from our Dashboard in tha safeguarding reports to meetings.

We have kept up with most ol the things sh& introduced, and have appreciated them, particul8rly th& screen and sound system which has enhanced our services. John Ball is now training up other people to use the system wh8n hè is away. John retired as CW at the last APCM but remains as Fabric Officer, for which we are very grateful. Hilary Landers became our new CW at the APCM, Hooray. When the Vacancy Advertisement in the spling failed to find a successful Applic8nt, the congreg8tlon at St John's took 8 deep breath, kept calm and carried on. By thls time the monthly'AII Together, service was being led alteinately by the laity and Rev john Angle. Congregants contributed to the groups set up to move us from 8 Team to g Group Ministry. Meanwhile the Steering Group met regularly in the New Room, mainly to arrange the 8eNice rotas. a job that previously I thought'just happened. but is In fact hard arkd intricate work. 2024 saw only Routine Maintenance otthe church bullding. we are due a Qulnqu6nnial Inspection in the autumn of 2025. Evèr so quietly, a little progress was made on our plans for a new, more welcoming door and porch arrangement. Throughout the ye8r we have be&n supported by retired and visiting clergy. Remarkably we have not lost a singlo'routine seivice. and for this we thanlc Avril, John Angle. Warren, Jerèmy Hellyer, Bishop Alaister, Leonie and Jenny Pascoe for keeping our ship afloat We have b&en pleased to join our friends at All Saints for a monthly HC service and they reciprocate. Festival services have been memorable, of note was the Passover meal on Maundy Thursday, at which Rev john Angle explained a wealth of facts about that first Last Supper. St John's would also not have survived without the support of a resolute band of villagers and worshippers who spend a huge amount of time doing small tasks, thereby preventing them from turning into great big expensive tasks. The Altar Guild remains ind8fatigable, I know if I go into church at any time it will be spic1< and span, the weeklyflowers are lovely, fe8tlV81 arrangements spectacular. Then there are the unglamoious jobs, putting out the bins, opening, shutting and checking the toilet daily, ditto the church building. Also mowing and strimming the churchyard. For 811 this 8 huge 'Thanl(-you' is due. I'm glad to report that after nearly 20 years, th8 New Room is now being used more frequently, by the Steering Group, Bible Studies etc. and soma village committees. It Was built as a village resource, we hope it will be a bridge between the differ&nt Parts of otjr community. This is also the case for Ihe Posada, where Mary and Joseph spend December seeking hospitality for the night. We could start in October it's so popular. Over the year our numbers have kept up. We have said some Hellos and some Goodbyes. We are still here. what's next? God knows."

Sue Thomas read Okjt the following Churchwarden's report: The LOE Book Terrier and Inventory Bre here and available for inspection. A vacancy can provide growth as well 2s a challenge. All Saints, has been goingthrough a time ot change and sharing of responsibility, which is hugely exciting to witness. There 18 a real sense of working as a team together with offers of help coming from unexpected Sources. Our group of 5 churches have had the opportunity of working more closely together again. As with all our churches, volunteers and helpers are th8 bacl(bon8 of what we are and do. whether its fundraising, helping in the churchyard, Ilow&r arranging. bell ringing or the daily little tasl(s, to the vitally important, but often unnoticed, care and concern shown by a phone call, visit, caid through the door and prayer. Socially the Burns Night, Fleece FayrÈ and Cream Teas have continued to be very popular 8nd provide far more than income for the General Fund. They are supported byfolk from our three churches and by many frotn outside our church family, an opportunity for outreach and to show'church. in 8 wider sense. We also hosted a lovely Village Christmas Lunch and Mothering Sunday Roast Lunch too. The Friends of All S8ints have had their own programme of fund raising activities, enabling them to make a very generous contribution to our Chancel and Vestry roof repair a far bigger project than had been anticipated. We are indebted to the PCC for supporting L5S With this financially too, and are currently working on a programme of appeals to pay the deficit. The projèct has provided its own blessings with our joint Architect. John Redfern, the new DAC buildings adviser, Mark Lidster, and Simon Harris, our local builder, establishing a really good working relationship together- a really positive outcome a8 we move forwards. The Q.1. Report shows a numb8r of smaller items to t8ckle over the next fivè years, another bonus. Sue Lang has continLJed to organise the Numbers Club for the General Fund - a simple and easy way of contributing £4.000 plus over 12 months. Thank you to her and to Steve Dixon, our Parish Cler1(, for being our independent organiser and adjudicator ol the draw each monlh. The Bell Ringers are a strongteam and now hav8 three novice ringers, all from the village. joininE them regularly, an exciting development. The church is unlocl(ed daily and it always warms the heart when there is evidence left of it having been visited and used. SeNices during the vacancy have largely been led by John Angle, Avril and L8onie. We are truly indebted to them and out other visiting clergy and are blessed with the ministry they share. Avril particularly has covered a great deal of pastoral care and occasional services across all our churches thank you Avril for the care, support, love and time you give. Leonie has shared her gifts ol leading Bible Study sessions All Together worship, her thoughtful reflections greatly valued and appreciated and we thank her too, for all she adds to our worship. Now we await Denise and all she will bring to our church families and communities. pr8ying that we will recognise her gifts and share her vision for us as we move forwards together.

11.3 John Dickinson read out the following Report: It ha8 b8en an intereslingyear. The overall direction of travel has continued to be positive, with a few new faces arriving Ènd, sadly a rather greater number departing. The overall numbers in church attendance havg, as a result declined byabout10. The team continue to pick up the necessary tasks, though there is not a lot of slack in the system. Nonetheless we are blessed with a Can-do attitude among most of our number so we have always been able to cover the needful. During the year we have been ably helped out by John Angle, Rich8rd Taylor and Bishop Mike in keeping our Eucharisis covered, and additional support has been supplied by Avril Gaunt and lan Hubbard in presiding over weddings and funerals. We held 8 lunerals in th8 church in 2024, 4 Baptisms and 1 wedding. W8 have had a further 5 funerals, 1 b8Ptism and 3 weddings so f8r this year with another 2 funerals planned. I note in particular the pa88ing of Alan Attwood, reader of the parish, and latterly Alan Guard, whose skills are evidenced around the church 8nd Chapter House. Both are keenly missed. In terms of community outreach, Warm Welcome has continued weekly and although the fledgling young music group has ended, ties with the lo¢al school remain strong 8nd vibrant and we have had the plèasure of hosting them for special Christmas, Easter and Leavers Day celebrations. We also fegularly leed assemblies al the school with our Methodist friends, through the Open the Book Initiative. Yatton School remains a vital part of our church life. Coffee moinings continue to flourish. and we have opened the church for Spring and Autumn festivals, which were w811 supported, and had a particular celetsration of 8811s with an open tower, which we will be rèpe8ting. We s88m to have sorted out th8 electrical problems bugging th8 alarm system and have replaced the old Mixer with a new one controlled wirelessly. There have been a few issues (relating mostly to the microphonès and signal dropout, rather than Mixèr function, but we are getting on top of them. We h8d 8 boiler failure over the early part of the New Yearwhich caused a few issues. Nigel Plumley reports that the boilers are getting to the stag& wher8 It won't be possible to keep them going just through prayer powei and we hav8 ￿nItIated a survey of the church and Chapter House which will recomm8nd possible longer-term solutions which will be reduce tuture running costs and help us be somewhat greener. The roof has been given a full survey again and NOMA architects are drawing up a remedial action plan which we expectto land before 8ummer. We are reasonably confident that the current issues of moisture ingress can be resolved relatively simply. This is a prerequisite for any work on in-church heating Finally, we are all looking forward to the installation of our new priest in-charge, Denise Calverley, at the end ol July. Not the end of a journey but rather a beginning. We look forward, in faith, to the journey. 12 ANNUAL REPORTON THE PROCEEDINGS OFTHE PORTISHEAD DEANERY SYNOD Sian Lewis read the following report..

September- The September Synod took pace at st George's Church Hall, Easton, and was on the subject of Neurodiversity when the speakers were Mil<e Haslam, at the time the Diocese's Chaplaincy Adviser. and our own Lindsay Smith.

November-The venueforthe November Deanery-wide meetingwas St Peter's Portishead and sawa presentation by Sean Doherty, the Principal of Trinity College, Bristol. called "Money, Money, Money, Is il a 'Rich Man's World?". which made us think hard about world economics. We have enjoyed having Assistant Diocesan Secretary Peter Evans as our Deanery Accompanier. He has been presenl at most Deanery Mission 8nd Pasloral Group IDMPGI meetings and Synods. Claire Horton. the Bath Archdeaconry Dearnery & Parish Adviser, has also been very helpful. The DMPG has met everytwo months throughout2024 while the De8nery Leadership Te8m has met every month.

Report on St Mary's Pre-school Year 2025- 2026 We welcomed a new chair to our Pre-school committee. We had 15 children stay on from the previous academic year, having 15 chlldren leave to go to local schools. September 2025 saw us starting the academic year with OLtr extended hours which ha8 proved very successful and hopefully ensured our future. Most days 75% of the chilciren stay on for a full day. Going through from September w6 have added to our numbers as time has gone on. The number of children on the roll will be 27 after Easter with several of the new intake staying full time. We lost a veryvalued member of staff at Christmas when Judy IBerryl retired, with over 40 years, service to Pre-school, and welcomed our new administrator, Cara. The chbldren enjoy learning through the various topics we cover. Such as "In the Garden", 'Hibernating Animals" "Christmas" 'Chinese New Year" (where the children had the opportunity to use chop sticks). watching caterpillars transform into butterfl￿88 and then re18asing them. All th8 children's learning the parents can access on Tapestry to view photographs and review the topics. Going forward we are looking to expand activities in our outdoor area by applying lor a grant from Yatton United Charities. We hope we can get the tree by the outdoor play area trimmed back as this is proving to be a real problem with bird droppings. We have children that suffer from Pic8 an 8ating disorder where they eat things that are not food. We are in the process of gathering evidence to send to North Somerset Environmental Protection for their reaction as we have tried the ground mBintenance team and got nowher8. It Was suggested to me to contact them with a view to getting North Somerset to do something about the tree bearing in mind that a branch recently has also come down. 18

Financial Commentary The Financial Statements show a Small general fund deficit of £2,064 before the unrealised gain on the M&G investment. This is a far better resLJlt than budgeted for as there were a number of one-oll donations. The charl below Shows how income is generated, with over half coming from p12nned giving and the majority of this is gift aid eligible which gives us an additional 25% from the UK Government. The lettings have in- creased this year as the St Nary's Pre-school has extended its day. There have been a number of one-off donations to cover the projected deficit budget and also the roof works at All Saints Church.
