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 se￿iCe
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

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.

the Kingdom of God in our midst.
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 inVo￿ed in Happy Faces. the Rèpair Café and the Community and Lent
Lunches who have continued to share the wonderful hospitality of God wTrth othèrs.

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

Pastoral
The Pastoral Team has met on an ad hot basis during the year and tries to make sure the church family are

and a150 those in the wider communities where we live.

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 p￿ciOuS 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.

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

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

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.
