ACTING CHAIR'S REPORT
Annual Report to APCM
INTRODUCTION
Taunton Minster is a Church of England parish church in the diocese of Bath & Wells. We are at the heart
of Taunton and support our community by being the Civic Church for the town and Teaching out in many
different M'ays to its population. We are part of a Benefic¢ which includes St John the Evangelist.
Our rnission is "To know Christ better and make Christ better known" and our church is welcome lo
everyone, a place of fellowship, prayer and quietn¢ss wh¢n needeL
MINISTRY TEAM
We experienced sorne major ¢hang¢s during the year. During F¢bruary our previous Curate the
Rev, Jamie Fox was licensed to be the new Rector of Wiveliscombe and the Hills. In June our new Curate.
the R¢v. Caryl Plewes, was ordained at Wells Cathedral and joined us in July. Sh¢ and h¢r husband Mike
already make a significant contribution to the work of the Minster.
Finally, following a summer resignation, in October we said goodbye to the Rev Tobie Osmond our Vicar.
together with his family, as he set off on a new lifestyle venture. His farewell cel¢bration was supported by
many people from our church, Benefice and local ¢ommunity which resulted from Tobie's work in
strengthening our external links during his time with us.
We are now in a period of "Vacancy" and we are extremely grateful for the work of our remarkable team,
the R¢v Louise Bale, Rev Gwen Smith, Rev Caryl Plewes and supported by Rev Ben Wbitworth and our
Lay Worship As%isLfftts, Valerie Gaskell and Alli Saltrese-Taylor, who continue to deliver our established
pattem of worship.
CHURCHWARDENS & STAFF
The role of Churchwardens is ncver easy as they play a significant part in the sM£￿th running of our church
and are in facl our Bishops, representatives here at the Minst¢r. So our grate￿1 thanks Inust be extended to
Ray Tully and Lesley Webb for their hard work durAng the year. Sadly following a serious illness Ray has
been on long terni absence sin¢¢ October.
This coincided wilh the start of OUT Vacancy wh¢n Churchwardens tak¢ on extra responsibilities. Lesley has
given a significant amount of time and effort in dealing with all her duties during this di￿lcult time.
Our loyal staff also deserve our thanks for their support durtng the year namely Mile5. our Music Director.
Margaret & Susanne our Administration team. and Jason & Brian our Verger team.
VOLUNTEERS
Our church has a reputation for offering a warm welcorne to everyone and with ihe amenities of the Gifts &
Books Shop and Coffee Shop a place of fellowship and learning. None of this is possible without the
blessing of those who volunteer th¢ir time and talents here at the Minster. To our Deputy Wardens, Sides
People, Welcomers, Tearn Leaders, Committee representatives and every other Volunteer in whatever
capacity a huge thank you. We alway5 n¢¢d more so don't be shy.
WORSH]P & MUSIC
Thanks to the Clergy Team we conlinue to provide a broad range of services throughout the Mollt￿ a
feature that is cclebrated by our congregation.
121

The Minster has a strong musical tradition and our adult choir and choristers go from strength to strengtb.
Thanks to Miles our choristers in particular have grown in numbers during ihe ycaT and how joyfid it is to
see them play a big part in reading5 and prdy¢rs during our family services.
Our Father Willis organ is well played by Miles, Andrew and John and this year we have had the benefit of
our young student Henry joining the team.
Sometimes overlooked lets not forget our Flow¢r Team who adorn our church every week and at special
feslivals with their wonde￿1 displays.
CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE
Friday ¢v¢nings are reservd for our children and young people. The church is full ofexcitemenl with
Young Readers, Chorist¢rs, and Noise participating in their varlous activities. Tckna also m¢ets on a
Sunday tnorning during the s¢rvic¢.
Thanks to the kind and generous donations of grants, legacies and gifts from our congregation we were able
to launch our project to refurbish our Coach House sp¢cifically for the use of children, families and young
people. Recently Complet￿ this will be a resource nol only for our church but also for uur communily. Now
known as the Minster House, watch its development grow over the coming year as we alibJn with Young
Somcrset <ind other charitable organisations.
In addition. our links with local schools continues to grow and many visits to our church take plxe
especially amund the key festivals ofchrislmas and EasteT. Led by our Ministry T¢am and volunteer4 if
you enter the church during one of these visit5 you will witness great joy and satisfaction from everyone
involved.
PASTORAL CARE
Anoth¢r unsung but essenlial service appreciated by all who use it, is available from our Clergy Teaftn, our
Pastoral Care Coordinator Margarei Austin and her team, together with our Prayer Minislry team.
Confidenti&l support is given to all in need.
SAFEGUARDING
A Church of England hot topic: Alli Saltrese Taylor has led a sm811 team in ensuring everyone who enters
the Minster comes into a saf¢ and secure environment. They have worked r¢ally haTd to ensure we have the
coffect polici￿ and procedures in place throughout the church and continue to offer gUId￿￿e and training
where nceded. Applicatiott and compliance is essential to all who lead or are involved in many of the
activities that tske place.
CONCLUSION
There are many groups and activities too numerous to mention in my report but please review them all in
the special brochure provided. But I must mention ihe important governance work which takes place
principally by my colleagues on the PCC and our associaled committees. We meet ten titlles a year and
sub-commilt¢es generally meet quarterly. I thank them for their dedication to the sorn¢times ovenvhelming
tasks presented, especially during thc Vacancy, and also for their kindness and patience with me! !
Finally, our special thanks as a church must be lo Nig¢l Birk¢tt (Treasurer) and Margarct Allen (Assistant
Tr¢asurer) for all their exemplary service during this and previous years in keeping us financially viable.
providing transparent reports and maintaining sound fmancial records. Nigel now steps down as Treasurer
and is replaced by Jonathan Drew with continu¢d support from Margaret and newly appointed AC Mole
LLP Accouniants.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The big money story of the year is the successful development of Minster House. The first-floor flat is let,
our young people are using the ground floor Mission Hub on Friday nights, and Young Somersei are using
it during the day from Tuesday to Friday. All this is thanks to the great response from members to the early
summer appeal for donations to cover the Shortfall needed to complete th¢ project. Our faith has been
justified!
The vision to provide for the growrth of our work with childr¢n and young people first became a reality in
2017 when ihe Diocese decided to scll the old vicarage. After much deliberation on our Proposal io take
over the ground floor garage, semi-daached to the vicarage in the corner of the churchyard, the Diocese
agreed but only if we included the derelict flat above. Although w¢ were reluctant to take on the Additional
cost this would entail, we agreed knowing this could give us a sourc¢ of additional income for the IoT]
Planning p¢miission for the development of what is now known as Minster House was granted in August
2018. At that slage, w¢ had to find money to meet Solicitors. knhitects. Planners, Surveyors and Valuers
costs for all the work planned for th¢ Grade 2 listed property. Covid intervened to delay matters but a
successfiEI grant hpplication to the All Churches T￿$t in 2021 together with a significant legacy helped
mitigate those professional costs and enabled us lo cary out Te-roofing work which also kept alive tbe
Planning Pennission.
Mor¢ l¢gacies fi]nded the completion of the Coffee Shop development and then continued to be received
over the ncxt 3 years to encouTage us to move this project forward. So. in 2024 we went out to l¢nd¢r
against a background of steep increases in the Cost of building materials. However, we overcame the shock
of the tendercd prices and moved forward in faith before news came of a large grant from the Garfield
Weston Charitsble Trust.
Thank you to everyone who has supported this project over the years. It provides Taunton Minster with a
wonderfully v¢rsatile ground floor space and an in¢om¢ to support our ministry amongst young people.
Beyond this project our general finances have had a solid year. Platmed Giving fell slighily over the year
but this was offset by a strong in¢r¢a5e in visjtor donations. Magdalen¢'s Coffee Shop and the Ciifts and
Books shop continue to make a substantial contribution toward our overall costs, with over £76,000 net
Profit. This is despiie a 320/th increase in costs, partly du¢ to rental cosls for a new wffee machine.
We were able to raise our Benefi¢e Share contribution by 80/0 to £94,000 but less than the £107,000
T¢qU¢St¢d by the Diocese. With the 5-year period of transition to a lower level of expected contribution
from our Benefice now into its 2 year, our Challenge for 2026 is to raise our ¢ontribution to just over
£ioo,000.
RESERVES POLICY AND FufuRE COMMITMENTS
Our General Fund reserve remains at £45.000 representing jusi 2 month5, expenditure. With our Benefice
Share payment still below the requesled contribution. we shall continue to hold our RIxe￿e at that
minimum l¢v¢l as we seek to raise our contribution to the annually adjusted sum sought.
We have been challenged to make up for shortfalls in our level of contributions over the last 5 years but
have responded to assure that we will do all w¢ can to at least fully meet the annual contributions requ¢st¢d
in the years ahead.

We face increased cost challenges as identified by the last quinquennia] inspection of the church building
and the ever-growing cost of managing the weathering of the tower. With HM Government restricting th¢
grani funding available to cover the cost of VAT on repairs to Listed Places of Worship, for the firsl time
we have experienced our application for such a grant tUTn¢d down &8 the pot of funding had been used up.
All these challenges serve to emphasise th¢ n¢ed to reverse the decline in the level of Planned Cliving, not
only to meet the influtionary pressures we face but to fulfill our responsibilitkes to support less (ortunat¢
paTish¢5 in our Dioc¢s¢ through our B¢nefice Share contribution.
As we move inlo a new phase for our finances following the growth of our income from our SI￿pS and
lettings. we are now support¢d by the pmfessional accountancy firn) A C Mole LLP who are experienced in
the structural r¢quir¢m¢nts for charities reliant on transactional as well as voluntary income.
