St James, PCC Annual Report Legal and Administrative Legal and administratwe information. including detai15 of the Parochial Church Council IPCCI members who seryed during the year is shown on Page l of this report. Aims and Organisation The main purpose of the PCC as defined by the Parochial Church Council (Powersl Measure in 1956 is 'to co-operate with the minister in promotin8 in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical., St James, PCC has also declared that its vision was "to be a living community of faith bringing God's love to each and every peison and to be relevant for the whole community". The PCC'S review of the year, given below, outlines its continued efforts to fulfil these aims. Thi5 year the PCC comprised 12 member5 after the APCM which took place in March 2025.. 5 elected. 3 co-opted and 4 èx-offi¢io lin 2025 we had no Deanery Synod repre5entativel. PCC members are elected every 3 years and mav serve 2 ton5ecutive terms of office before resigning. They are eligible for re-election after a gap of at least 12 months. The PCC has met 7 time5 on ordinary business and held l extraordinary meeting to discuss one matter. The Standing Committee (comprising the Vicar and Churchwardensl meets on an ad hoc basis to deal wtth any urgent matters. Much of the Council's work is done in appointed committees and workin8 groups, directed by and reporting to the PCC, The church here is also supported by inherited benefartTron not owned or under the trusteeship of the PCC. The church makes good use of the St James. Community Hall Iformerly and locally known as the Church Rooms) but these are under the care of the serving vicar and churchwardens as trustees of the St James Church Rooms Trust and operated, by a separate management committee, for the support of Christian education in the parish. The PCC also draws upon the Weale Fund (Bequest received 19831 exclusively for specified maintenance of the fabric of St James, Church,. this fund. too, is contiolled by the servin8 vicar and churchwarden as managing trustees. The PCC acknowledges these highly beneficial support activlties but as they are properly managed "at arms-len8th" from the PCC they are not included in this tormal Report. Usage and accounts are, however, reported at the APCM. Regular 5ervlces and Church Attendance IFi6ures in brackets indicate numbers for 20241 The pattern of regular servlces, established in 2022 after the disruption to patterns durin8 the Pandemlc, continued in 2025. The first Sunday ol the month there is one family style service at 10.30am, called 'The Ten, and Choral Evensong is held at 6.30pm. The Ten starts with refreshments at 10.00am and worship anil activities beBin on or aroundlO.30am. The rest of the month has two services in the morning at 9.30am which is alway5 Holy Communlon either 1662 or Order One and 11.00am which is Communion twice a month and 3 lay led- MorninB Praise seiCe once a month. Compline is at 6.30pm on each of these Sundays. We are very pleased to see that 'The Ten, familv style service continues to Brow and flourish. Numbers do flurtuate but it is attended by members of the regular church community together with many others especially wedding couples who are required to attend in the year before their weddin8 a5 well as others who come and 'try church out,. We are very pleased that many of the Happy Faces families which meet on a Monday in the Church Rooms, are now attending on a regular basis. It is a very free nd easy-Boing family'servite, with refreshments and newspapers available throughout the service, craft activities inside and out. singing and a bible study corner. The numbers have been very encouraging with regular attendances of about 20 children and 40 to 60 adult5. We are very pleased that this seNice seems to work. It is great base to build on, and to encourage those who attend to try out other services and to invite them to attend more often. We also offer a 'family friendly, communion service at 11.00am on the third Sunday of the month. This also has activities for children of families attending. Twice a month on Sundays there is a Holy Communion at Broad Campden, our Chapel of Ease. On the fifth Sunday in the month in 2025 there was a combined service at one of our parishes, St James,. Aston sub-Edge and Weston sub- Edge and Mickleton. Avera8e attendance5 at our sunday services are still below pre-covid levels but with the start of The Ten and as people have ga4ned rn0 conlidence. we have seen figures rise. particularly at the 11.CQam service. The average attèndance figures reported to the Diocese were- 811791 adults and 7181 children. These are the figures we submit to the Diocese annually based on October service attendance. The worshipping community figures Annual Accounts 2025
St James, PCC Annual Report 2025 are 129 adults and 25 children pef the Annual Mission Statistics Report for 2025. We ijo not have a Sunday School at the moment but the numbers of children, toddlers and babies attending the Ten is very encouraging. During the year we had 5 baptisms, 15 weddings, 6 funerals. 9 Funerals at crematoria, and 6 interments of ashes. At the last Annual Parochial Church Meeting IAPCMI on Sunday 21 March 2025 there were 9811231 on the Electoral Roll. The Electoral Roll was renewed in 2025- something which takes place every 6 years. Review of the Year vtcarfs Re ort 2025 Generous God, you welcome us through an open door into the lift ofyour Kingdom.

In the nome ofjesus who stonds with us at the open door. Amen. The prayer above is a prayer for the Vale and Cotswold Edge Team of which we are part. I hope it Is something you will pray with me throughout the coming year. l am delighted that in the autumn Revd Jon Barwood joined us a5 an interim minister for the parishes of Oorsington, Honeybourne. Pebworth and Willersey. After three years carrylng these extra parishes it was joy land relief) to entrust them to Jon's care and leadership. Most weeks I meet with my cler8y collea8ues in the Team to give thanks, reflect on ministry and prayerfully encourage one another. We are also sometimes joined by Amy Todd, our children, youth and schools, leader and by our Readers Nick Partridge and Wayne Parker. In June Revd Jodie Ward wa5 ordained priest and it ha5 been a pleasure watching her grow into her new ministry. In November Jodie started her maternity leave and soon welcomed son Rafi into the world. l am thrilled that David Roberts is now the chair of the Diocesan Board of Finance. He brin85 a Breat deal of experiencè and wisdom to the role and is a blessin8 to the whole Diocese. We are also blessed by the ministry of Revd Dr Professor David Gushee. IAnd although not strictly for the 2025 report l am pleased to report that Amy has been joined by Sarah Furn Davis in early 2026 who will bp working as a second part timè Children. youth and schools, lèader. This will allow us to increase our support to our children and young people.) I continue to be most thankful for the support of Revd Sarah Hayes and our retired clergy, Revd Nicholas Morgan and Revd Peter Bevan. l am also fortunate to be supported by our Readers Wayne and Nick and the other people that lead worship, Naomi Morrey and Sarah Roberts on the 4th Sunday in Campden as well as. with others, compline. Naoml continue5 to support the work of the church through her funeral ministry. Naomi also serves as a wonderful churchwarden. We have a good and Iwefy PCC. Richard Stephens is an accomplished organist and music director and leads our music and our choir wonderfully. Liz Jones is an effective administrator. There are many others who l èm not mentioning by name, but I hope they know how much they are appreciate and valued. Church Llfe This is a good opportunity to pause. to remember, to reflect and Btve thanks for the life of the church and to anticipate the coming year. Church life is always busy- always something has just happened. something happening, something about to happen. Thank you to all inVoed in Happy Faces. the Rèpair Café and the Community and Lent Lunches who have continued to share the wonderful hospitality of God wTrth othèrs. Annual Accounts 2025
St lames, PCC Annual Report 2025 In last yearfs report I spoke about the PCCS desire to improve access to the buildin8. The PCC, led by Nigel Boyse, has been making stèady progress in this regard. The plans submitted have been complemented by the DAC (the Diocesan Advising Committee that oversee works on church fabric). By its welcome and hospitality. the church communicates the love of God. Wider minlst In the early spring I became the Area Dean. This role includes, amon8St other thin8S. taking a lead in shaping the response to the Deanery Strategic Plan. This means I can ensu the Deanery and Parish objertives are similar. Two areas of focus for the coming couple of years will be visitors and finance. Visitors.. we are visited by many people= some are motivated by heritage, others walking by. anil lo¢a15 visiting the building as part of their regular routine. Each group has specific needs. and we need to ensure there is something in the building to help them take the next on the journey of faith. You may have notited Some new posters and objects in church. More will appear in the coming months. Finance.. the churchwardens from across the Vale and Cotswold Edge met in the autumn to di5CUSS the allocation of Parish Share. There were some very honest conversations and it was very good meeting. Different parishes have different financial landscapes, but all parishes have thing5 they can do to improve their finances. I hope we and every parish In the VaCE and Deanery will develop financial plans- containing simple mana8eable steps that will help us all dwersify and improve income streèms. The local church relies upon the Benerosity ol its worshippers and visitors. The gifts of worshipper5 are particularly significant especially those who have committed to regular 8Ning. Not everyone is able to financially support the church at this present moment but if you are please do sign up to the 'Pari5h GNin8 Scheme, or review your gift. Please also do consider leaving a le8acy to the church in your will. These gifts tan be very significant in allowing us to malntain the Church and support ministry but also importantly communicate the good news of God's love to people who don't know yet know it. Every blessSng Revd Craig The PGS web-site now enables people to sign up and manage their donation5 (including one.off gifts) on-llne httP5'.l/www.parishgivin8.ofB.uk/home/ You may need to scroll down to find the Parish Search box- type 'Chippin8 Campden, or'Broad Campden, and thls will open the poge to that allows you to begin supportin8 the church financialfy throu8h the PGS. Churihwarden5' and Flnance Re Ort 2025 Pastoral The Pastoral Team has met on an ad hot basis during the year and tries to make sure the church family are supported. The church community has been wonderful at SLJPPOrting both those in our own community of St James, and a150 those in the wider communities where we live. Annual Accounts 2025
St James, PCC Annual Report 2025 Community Lunche5 These are now in their fouth seèson and take place on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month in the Church Rooms with a break during Lent and a break for the summer. The lunches, which consist of soup and bread. a hot pudding and custard and a hot drink are open to all and are free of charge and offer also a warm space in term5 of friendship and companionship for those who live on their own and for those who find it difficult to get out and about. Transport is provided for the less mobile. There is a regular attendance of between 30 and 40 people. Some people are generous and give donations if they are able and this has meant that costs are covered and a Contribution to the cost of heating the church rooms can be made. The team which runs the lunches has grown in the year, and we are pleased that this inr(iative has become a regular ftxture in the Town calendar. In December we repeated our successful Christmas Community lunch with 46 people attendin812024- 37 peoplel. We encourage donations for this event, as it is very costly and l am pleased to say that for those who could afford it were more than 8enerous so we were able to cover costs. Everyone all enjoyed a fvll turkey Christmas lunch. with Christmas pudding, coffee and mince pies and chocolates. The Christmas puddin8 orders for personal use are now coming in for 20261 It was a huge Slsccess and I suspert it may become an annual fixture. Fabric The Fabric Committee under Ni8el Boyce have met regularly in 2025. The committee has submitted a facultv application for improvements to the porch space and creation of an accessible path up to and into the entrance of St James, Church. We are awaiting the outcome of this application and are aiming for the work to take place Sn 2026, once fundin8 has been secured. The heritage fabrics have been surveyed and need renovation. A separate project, which will also require a facultv, is being Put tO8ether to ensure that these pciOuS Items can be preserved for the future. No other major work has been undertaken at St Jame5, this year. with most tasks being routine maintenance and ensurin8 that our church is safe and fit for purpose. The problem with flickering lights has been partly resolved by upgrading and re-programming the dimming controls. but this is Still work in progress. A group of volunteers have been tidying UP the paths and planting bulbs to enhance the approach to the church. Work at St Michael and All Angels has consisted of hedge cuttin& routinÈ maintenance and safety task5. St James, Communlty Hall Ilorrnerly The Churth Rooms) The Vicar and Churchwardens are Trustees of the St James Community Hall Ilocally still known as the Church Rooms). The Trustees have handed the day to running and fvndraising for the refurbishment of the hall to a small administration commf(tee. A full schedule of bookinBS is now in place with the hall being useé re8ularly by The Happy Faces mums and toddler5, the Community Lunches team, a probus group and various yoga and pilates groups. From September 2025 Chipping Campden Secondary School has been rentin8 the hall during term times, when other re8ular bookings do not happen. This is a 12-month contract and provldes a good regular Income for the hall. The hall is also available for hire privately for parties and functions outside of these regular bookings. This rental income, together with the community lunch funds, have helped pay for new curtains in 202S. A teèm of people met for five consecutive Saturday mornings in the autumn and created 6 pairs of curtain5 under the instruction and teaching of Donna Evans. It wès an excellent short community project which brought tO8ether some different people. The Church Rooms Committee is extremely grateful to Donna for all her help and 8uidance. They would also like to thank Neil from the Campden Fire Brigade who helped put the curtains up. 2025 also saw some essential external repairs to windows and doors being carried out by a local builder. This cost in the region of £10,000 and could not have been done without the regular income that all these rentals provide. Longer term the entrance hall will be reconfigured. but in the meantime it has been made more inviting and pleasant to use. We are looking forward to helping the committee with its *undrabsin8 efforts to help with their future plans. Annual Accounts 2025
St James, PCC Annual Report 2025 The Repair Café The St Jame< Church Repair Cafe is now in its fourth year. In March 2025 Cotswold District Council Cognised u5. at a hjll council meeting in Cirencester, with an 'unsung heroes, award for our contribution to caring forthe environment. This wès a great recognition of the cafe and all its contributors. The Repair Café meets at the Church Rooms on the second Saturday of every month. As well as the many and varled repair5 carried out, the cafe is much enjoyed by both clients and repairer5, performing a much-enjoyed social function. The format stays the same- a volunteer team of repairers, some with specialised skills, such as radio and electronics, others Wlth a keen interest in such things a5 metal repairs, woodwork and general DIY, who look at practically anything that comes through the door that no longer works or needs mending,. and a volunteer team of cake makers and coffee providers as part of the welcome and 'communiV- In 2025, two 'clock specials, were held, bringing in the skills of an antiquarian horologist for advice and on the spot repaits where possible. Coming in from the whole Vale and Edge community, and indeed wider, clients can get advice and repairs, or if not, they can discuss options such a5 a professional restorer, or in the worst-case scenario, disposal or recycling. It therefore form5 Part of the funrtion of St James, •$ an eco-church. All is free of charge, materia15 being charged at cost5. With donations invited for supported charities. This year as well as paying for the church rooms hire, the repairers and catering team nominated Happy Faces, Campden Edge, Macmillan Cancer Research, Campden Home Nursing, Chipping Campden First Responders, Air Ambulances UK, The Trussell Trust. and Vision 21. and we were able to give over ÉICi)O to these ¢auses. Vision 21 are the Environmental Charity that provide us with all important insurance cover. It is very encouraging, Indeed exciting, to see ihem come on from the small first floor office where curate at the time Jay Niblett and I first met them in 2021, to move into Purpose built new premises in Cheltenham. Michael Smedley along with Caroline, and Margaret and Rlchard 8arrowman. attended Gloucestershire County Council's Repair Cafe networkin8 meetin8 there on January 14" this year. Michael wa5 asked to do a short presentation about our repair cafe. and it was interestlng to compare notes wlth other Repair Cafes, large and 5m311. Flnance 2025 was another difficult year with inflation stlll higher than desired and wars in the Ukraine and Gaza, together with the unpredictability of a new US PTesident. A deficit of £28,000 on the 8eneral fund wa5 forecast for the year, when the budget was set in November 2024. The Finance Committee feels that setting a defitit budget is sustainable due to the level of reserves in the General and other ftbnds. It often is the case that donations are received in the year which mitl8ate thss budget deficit. However, in both 2024 and 2025 this has not been the case. In 2025 the overall deficit after donations and investment movements la gain in 2024 but a1055 in 20251 was £34,954. In 2025 income was put under severe pressure for three specific reasons. PGS receipts fell compared to prior years as people leave the scheme for various reasons. We have an geing Church population and there are always people who pass away or move away. If 10 people either started Biving or increased giving by £200 per month and a further 10 people gave an additional £100 per month our annual deficit would be cleared. Until 2025 Planned Giving had been in line with budget but since 2022 it has not kept pace with inflation. Our Planned Giving used to cover at least our Parish Share but now it is 22% less than that particular cost. Planned Giving is not just to pay for Parish Share, but a comparison of the two Is a good indicator of how our expenses which are so sensitive to inflation, have risen much more quickly than income. Little Glebe income stopped in the spring of 2025 as the tenants left and the decision was made to sell the property. Little Glebe is an expensive property to maintain. and the rental income doe5 not cover the cost5 sufficiently to also contribute to the PCC general funds. This property was purchased in 1999 with an appeal to the Church family and wider town with an aim to provide a place for our youth work. Once the sale is Annual Accounts 2025
St James. PCC Annual Report 2025 completed in 2026, 3 percentage of the income from the fvnds received, whith will be invested will contribute to the VaCE youthwork that Amy and Sarah are doing. The balance of the income generated will go to the General Fund. Weddings were fewer in 2025 than the previous couple of years which were exceptionalty busy post Covid. We hope that 2026 will see this income stream pick up once more. However other sources of income were better than budget. Visitor income and income from service collections was better than budget, with high receipts over the Christmas period. We still do not pass a plate around at services. as we encoura8e people to join the Parish Givin8 Scheme and to donate In one of the boxes at the entrance to the church. We do have a plate collection at the end of the servicè when there is a special feason to do so and pèople were very generous when we did this over the Christmas period. We have kept a tight rein on expenditure in the year. With overall expenditure £5,000 less than budget. There were some fluctuations across the categories.. Mission and charity Support- there was in increase in outreach costs as new initiatives are tried to welcome visitors and worshippers to church. Upkeep ¢05ts were controlled well. with 8ood use of the Weale Fund which helps towards the fabric upkeep of the church. Office and admin costs were better than expected as the printer lease came to an end in the year. Clergy expenses were hi8her than forecast, with the use of outside tlergy on a regular basis. The movement on other funds, including the youthwork funds held for the Vale and Cotswold Edge team and our own restricted funds was a deficit of £4,707 before unrealised movement on investments and £9,763 after investment movements. The combined net result for all funds was £44.717 defitit. In terms of charitable giving we have supported World Vision, Restored and Campden Young Corers two or three times each in the year with collections on one Sunday per month 80ing to one of these three causes. We have also 5UPPOrted The Children's Society. the British Legion and Help for Heroes from collections on Remembrance Sunday, and at Christingle Services. The card machines have been very successful and we are able to change the information on the machine when we want to target a collertion for a Charty or for a Funeral or Weddin8 Service. It has helped keep giving levels UP* even though fewer and fewer people carry cash. The church's funds are still in reasonable shape, thanks to our reserves whlch have built up over the years. However with such a significant movement in the year. things are not as healthy 3s they might be. with the General Fund under particular pressure. The CCLA has not performed well in terms of investment return which has been disappointing. Investmènt movements fluctuate and cash is often tight. This puts pressure on the General Fund and day to day expenditure. The message is the same as last year,. we need to try and increase our giving if we can as all costs have risen sharply due to high inflation rates. We have other funds within these accounts which are held for the wider VaCE team.. this includes the balance of the fund whTrch was received from the Diocese and is being used over time for VaCE communications. both internal and external; we also hold the VaCE team'5 fund for youth and schools work which pays for the costs of Amy and her work within our schoo15 and with our younger members of church. The General Fund has sufficient resources to pay forjust more than 3 months of costs, and the capital fund is there to be used to enhance and maintain the beauty of our Church. We would like to thank everyone who has supported us in the last year and for those who give so much of their time and talents to the wider church and community. We very much appreciate everyone for what they do. Naomi Morrey, Michael Smedley and Sarah Roberts Annual Accounts 2025 IL, s_
