## **THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF BARDSEY**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**
## **Aim and purposes**
The Parish of Bardsey Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS102 and has the responsibility of co-operating with the Incumbent, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also responsible for the care and maintenance of two churches: the Parish Church of All Hallows in Bardsey and the Church of Saint Mary Magdalene in East Keswick, together with their respective churchyards, both of which remain open for burials and the interment of ashes. A further responsibility extends to the care and maintenance of the church hall in Bardsey, known as The Callister Hall.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our churches and to become part of our parish community. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.
When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:
- Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel, and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus.
- Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish.
- Building leadership.
- Missionary and outreach work.
- Our environmental policy.
To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Parish Church of All Hallows, The Church of Saint Mary Magdalene and The Callister Hall.

## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure 1956 and the Church Representation Rules 2020
The method of appointment of PCC trustees is as set out in the Church Representation Rules 2020. Newly appointed PCC trustees are introduced into their roles and responsibilities by the Churchwardens.
The PCC has met on six occasions during the year (five ordinary meetings, one section 12 meeting regarding the vacancy and one APCM). These meetings have been in person. The average attendance of the ordinary meetings was 81%. There were 88 names on the Electoral Roll at the time of the APCM in May 2025.
All meetings include the review of the reports of PCC subcommittees and the sanctioning of any actions as required. The main subjects under discussion during 2025 were: preparation and approval of the documents necessary to advertise for a new vicar; service patterns; our role in the community; the ongoing routine management of our buildings and churchyards; matters of finance, stewardship and safeguarding.
The PCC has continued to hold discussion during the meetings. Reports are sent out in advance, and PCC members are expected to read them before the meeting.
During the continued vacancy, the churchwardens have acted as lay chairs of the PCC.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED….)**
## **Structure, Governance and Management (Continued...)**
Standing Committee: Suspended during the period of vacancy; any issues have been brought to the PCC, via email if necessary between meetings. All Hallows Church Council: Suspended; issues brought to the PCC Saint Mary Magdalene Church The vestry committee meets regularly. Anything involving major Council: changes or expenses is then brought to the PCC.
The PCC supports a parish office, situated in the Callister Hall. This office is managed by the Parish Administrator who has flexible working hours but will be in the office for some time each weekday.
## **Achievements and Performance**
The parish is currently in vacancy.
The Reverend Dr Anna Wallis is a member of our congregation and an SSM, licensed as a Priest with Permission to officiate in the Diocese from December 2021.
Our churchwardens have done an amazing job of organising visiting clergy to take services during the vacancy, and we are grateful to the churchwardens for all their efforts in coordinating services as well as to the visiting clergy who have given so generously of their time to help out.
Our normal times of services are: -
First Wednesday of the month 11.00 - Holy Communion at Saint Mary Magdalene First Sunday: 10.00 – Joint Parish Holy Communion (at either church) Second Sunday 08.00 - Holy Communion All Hallows 09.15 – Family Worship at Saint Mary Magdalene 10.45 - Family Worship at All Hallows Third Sunday 08.00 – Morning Worship at All Hallows 09.15 – Holy Communion at Saint Mary Magdalene 10.45 - Holy Communion at All Hallows Fourth Sunday 08.00 - Holy Communion All Hallows 09.15 - Morning Worship at Saint Mary Magdalene 10.45 - Morning Worship at All Hallows Fifth Sunday A joint service is held at either church
During the period of vacancy the service pattern has needed to be flexible to facilitate the schedule of visiting clergy. Together with joint services to reduce heating during the winter months, this has helped us continue to build a stronger parish identity and ease the strain on resources.
Our churches are normally publicly open during day light hours and feature a Children’s Craft area which is used during the week and is popular with local families.

**THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF BARDSEY**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED….)**
## **Achievements and Performance (continued…)**
In 2025 we held 8 baptisms and 3 weddings. 15 funerals have taken place, 1 person has been buried and the cremated remains of 15 people have been interred in our churchyards.
Bardsey playgroup, a registered local authority childcare provider, rents the Callister Hall on weekday mornings for much of the year. Other local groups including a bridge group also use this building during the week. We have continued to hold a “Callister Café” on the second Tuesday of every month as a social space for local residents to have a community lunch. This has proved popular and grown steadily over time.
Our mission statement is: ‘Caring churches where all are welcome to know the peace and love of God’.
During the year we have continued our mission into the community in a number of ways: -
- We have a five-year strategic plan, available to view on our website, which lists our intention to improve our infrastructure and work on community projects to deepen our faith in our community.
- We have monthly baptism services and a baptism coordinator. We keep in touch with baptism families and invite them to our family services and special events. We send cards to families on the anniversary of a baptism and all children baptised in church are given a knitted teddy bear made by parishioners. We also keep in touch with bereaved families and invite them to our annual memorial services.
- Our annual Christingle and crib services attract large congregations from the wider community who may not usually attend church.
- We are members of Inclusive church and the Small Pilgrim Places Network.
- We have continued our relationship with St Aidan’s church in Harehills in Leeds and support their foodshare on a weekly basis. The FoodShare project is now run by a team of volunteers, made up from the church and wider community.
- We are part of a dynamic Churches Together network which draws the community together and have again participated in a successful charity Quiz night, a popular interactive Christmas nativity and joint celebratory services. During the year we join the local Methodist church for their Anniversary service and Covenant service, and they join us for our Patronal festivals.
- We have continued to hold some online Zoom meetings including an Art club where members of the church and the wider community can meet together in friendship and mutual support.
- As a parish we have responded to the call from the Diocese of Leeds to be carbon neutral by 2030 and are following the A Rocha programme for environmental sustainability. Through this programme both churches have achieved bronze and silver awards. Recycling hubs are provided in both churches for the benefit of the whole community.
- We hold a monthly ‘Callister café’ providing food and fellowship for many in our community.
- Our web site is active, regularly updated, has many followers and frequently attracts compliments.
- Weekly sermons and prayers are recorded and uploaded on to the web site.
- A parish email letter is circulated on a regular basis and gives parish information and words of comfort and support. Those not on emails receive a letter in the post.
- Our Village Newsletter, edited and printed by the PCC and supported by many village organisations, is now being published and circulated every two months. Copies are hand delivered to all 1600 homes in the parish and posted to supporters outside the parish.

**THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF BARDSEY**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED….)**
## **Financial Review**
Overall income in 2025 decreased by 23% to £105,976 (2024: £138,338) mainly due to us not having a fundraising campaign during the year and also a reduced amount of Gift Aid being able to be claimed.
Planned giving income, plus other giving, decreased by 3% to £48,228 in 2024 (2024: £49,523 ) which is a shame as 2024 had been the first increase in several years. (2023 : 48,296, 2022: 52,521, 2021: £53,520, 2020: £81,240). This level of giving remains a matter of concern for the future financial viability of the parish. A stewardship campaign was held in 2024 alongside the fundraising campaign and as part of this we joined the Parish Giving Scheme. However, only a third of givers have signed up to the annual increase which has contributed to giving not increasing in 2025. Alongside this unplanned giving dropped by 37%. Gift aid, where appropriate, is claimed each month through PGS or quarterly for other gifts. There was one legacy during the year restricted to expenditure at St Mary Magdalene, and indeed used for the new boiler, some donations towards the cost of repairs to the Callister Hall roof which was done in 2025, and for repairs to the organ at All Hallows which were actually completed in March 2026.
Rental income from the Callister Hall shows a small increase to £9,383 (2024: £8,256). Newsletter advertising decreased fractionally to £4,864 (2024: £4,881). Income from investments decreased to £9,463 ( 2024: £10,187) which was not surprising as the funds in the accounts has decreased. Income from Parochial fees decreased to £9,275 (2024: £12,037) – this due to a fewer number of weddings, funerals, burials etc over the year.
Expenditure shows a decrease of 10% to £144,343 (2024: £160,226). Utility costs decreased dramatically to £14,037 in 2025 (2024: £21,254, 2023: £15,866, 2022: £6,954, 2021: £4,363). We continued holding joint services in the early months of the year with the aim of limiting these costs, with a number of other factors also helping eg a new boiler at St Mary Magdalene, new contracts and lower usage. The cost of the new boiler was covered by the legacy money received. £3,330 was spent on wall repairs at All Hallows and £600 to sort out storm damage to trees in the churchyard.
The Callister Hall roof was repaired in 2025 at a full cost of £6,600. However we were very grateful to receive a grant of £5,500 from the Emmerdale Section 160 fund towards this work. A further £650 was received in donations towards the work.
The PCC felt unable to pay the Parish share in full in 2025; £60,000 was paid against an invoice of £85,747. It was felt that to pay more would leave us in a financially insecure place moving forwards. All £60,000 was withdrawn from investment funds to allow this payment to be made. Leeds Diocese have started a Parish Share Agreement process to help parishes look at how they can best meet these costs. Part of this is issuing Parish Share invoices on a three year rolling process so we know that our Parish Share invoices moving forwards for the next 3 years are all in excess of £90,000 which will be extremely challenging.
The Parish has assets held in investments, however, a large part of this is an Endowment fund from which only the interest can be used for the maintenance and upkeep of the East Keswick churchyard. Unfortunately during 2025 the endowment and investment accounts suffered losses rather than gains which has not helped the situation. The two investment accounts have now been transferred into deposit accounts to avoid further losses. It is hoped the endowment will regain its position over the coming years.
The Parish remains solvent but moving forwards there is little if any expectation of being able to pay the Parish Share in full. The PCC realise the need to address the situation proactively and to be good stewards of the Parish finances.
## **Policy on Reserves**
Reserves are managed and invested in order that short, medium and long-term requirements of the Parish can be adequately met and funds made available to satisfy any needs as and when they arise. The P.C.C has agreed to increase the reserves held to £42,000 (a 4% increase) to satisfy such needs.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED….)**
## **Volunteers**
The church leadership wishes to express its grateful thanks and appreciation to every member of our congregation and many other local people who have tirelessly and enthusiastically given their time and support to the parish throughout 2025.
## **Fabric and Maintenance Report**
During 2025 All Hallows, Saint Mary Magdalene and the Callister Hall have undergone the annual statutory inspections required for fire extinguishers and gas safety as well as the five yearly electrical inspection. The lightning protection on both churches has been inspected and tested. The two church organs have been serviced with issues identified which will need repair. Routine maintenance of the grass, hedges and trees in both churchyards has also continued.
Other works:
## _All Hallows –_
The boundary wall on the south edge of the top was repaired, following storm damage.
## _Saint Mary Magdalene_ –
A comprehensive tree survey indicated major work was required to the large lime trees on the western boundary. Overhanging and dead branches were removed together with the epicormic growth. Following a failure at its annual servicing, the inefficient Ideal Concorde boiler was replaced with a high efficiency Worcester 8000 50kW regular boiler.
## _Callister Hall_ –
The twice yearly servicing of the fire alarm and smoke detectors was carried out. The two flat roofs have been repaired, covered by funding from the Emmerdale fund and the accessible toilet was repainted.
## **Risk Management**
## _Safeguarding_
The PCC recognises the importance of its responsibilities to the needs of all vulnerable adults and young people and abides by all Government and Diocesan policy requirements. All PCC members have undertaken online safeguarding training during and our safeguarding polices are displayed on our notice boards and our web site. Safeguarding matters are discussed at all PCC meetings, reviewed annually and full written policy for the parish is available from the Parish office.
## _Health and Safety_
The health and safety of the users of our premises is an ongoing concern as the PCC seeks to assess and to monitor all risks relating to its various activities. Health and Safety matters are discussed at all PCC meetings, reviewed annually and written policies are held in both churches and the Callister Hall.
## **Approval**
This annual report was approved by the Parochial Church Council on ……………………. 2026 and signed on their behalf by the Churchwardens as the joint chairs of the PCC during the period of vacancy.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF BARDSEY**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2025, which are set out on pages 9 to 15.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those record; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF BARDSEY**
## **NOTES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**
## **1. Accounting Policies**
## **Basis of preparation**
The P.C.C. is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of P.C.C.'s and with the Regulations' "true and fair view" provisions, together with the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" of the FRS102 (2016) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2019 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP(FRS102)).
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at fair value.
## **Fixed assets**
## Consecrated land and buildings
Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by section 10 of the Charities Act 2011.
## Freehold property
No depreciation is provided on buildings as the current estimated residual value of the properties is not less than their carrying value and the remaining useful life of these assets currently exceeds 50 years, so that any depreciation charges would be immaterial. An impairment review is carried out each year-end and any resultant loss identified included in expenditure for the year.
## Movable church furnishings
No value is placed on movable church furnishings held by the Churchwardens on special trust for the P.C.C. and which require a faculty for disposal since the P.C.C. considers this to be inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities and separately disclosed.
## Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment
Equipment used with the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over 10 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.
## **Investments**
Investments are stated at market value.
## **Resources used**
Grants and donations are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when any preconditions preventing their use by the P.C.C. have been met. For collections and planned giving this is when the funds are received.
## **Activities directly relating to the work of the Church**
The Diocesan share is accounted for as the amount remitted to the Diocese in the year.
