THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF
ALL SAINTS' AND SALUTATION, BLACKWELL, DARLINGTON
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The Parochial Church Council presents its report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2025. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', and the Charities Act 2011.
Objectives and activities
All Saints’ and Salutation PCC has the responsibility for co-operating with the incumbent in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. As well as that of All Saints’ Church and its grounds, the PCC has maintenance responsibilities for Salutation Hall and grounds, Salutation Road.
Public benefit
The charity’s aims and achievements are set out within this report. The PCC has complied with the duty under Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission and the PCC have paid due regard to this guidance in deciding what activities the charity shall undertake.
Church services
Our community and church aim at all times to provide full and accessible church services for both those who live in the parish and visitors. The Ministry Team, the PCC, and volunteers from within the congregation provide services and resources for this Parish. Despite continued recovery challenges post-pandemic experienced across all churches and the current vacancy within the Parish (our incumbent, The Reverend Jennifer Croft resigned in June 2024 following a lengthy period of ill-health absence), we believe that we continue to engage with the Mission Action Plan (MAP) priorities of the Church which include:
-
Discipleship and spiritual growth
-
Community connection/outreach
-
Ministry to young people
-
Pastoral care
-
Communication
At our Sunday worship we have maintained the use of Zoom, first introduced during the pandemic to livestream services, so that we can offer ‘hybrid church’ (physical or virtual attendance), referred to by the Church of England as ‘Stay at Home’ church.
For those who don’t own computers or have a way to connect to online services we continue to distribute ‘service summaries’ each Monday. These include the readings from the previous Sunday’s services, together with the sermon and are delivered in person by a team of volunteers. These receive positive feedback.

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF
ALL SAINTS' AND SALUTATION, BLACKWELL, DARLINGTON
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Our uniformed organisations and their families continue to be invited to parade services throughout the year, including Mothering Sunday and Remembrance Day and engagement with the guiding groups has increased over the past year.
Social activities continue to offer essential opportunities for fellowship amongst the congregation and within the wider parish and community. These include the Parish lunch enjoyed by more than 40 participants every month, coffee and fellowship after the 10.30am Sunday and the 10.00am Wednesday services. These together with coffee mornings (now offered monthly), are an important means of limiting social isolation within the congregation and parish. We also enjoyed a Burns Supper, Passover, a Harvest quiz and again welcomed a local touring theatre group for two visits this year. Together with our Summer Garden Party and Christmas Fair, these events also offered opportunities to engage with the parish and wider communities.
- Discipleship and spiritual growth
The Vision Day in September 2023 highlighted a need to develop further discipleship opportunities. A working group together with the Ministry team continues to develop opportunities, including focussed topics for sermons and has started working with the Diocesan Growing Churches team. The Wednesday afternoon reading group continues to meet fortnightly.
There is a prayer group that meets monthly and provides an ongoing prayer forum for private requests in the parish and for those for whom we regularly pray.
Following a review, the PCC took the decision to suspend the bi-monthly Café Church due to reduced capacity within the ministry team during the vacancy and its failure to meet the original aim of outreach to new groups.
- Community Connection/Outreach
Over the past year the Communications Group has enabled us to continue to develop a greater presence in our community through ongoing review of our website and Facebook presence. Following the retirement of our previous parish secretary, the appointment of a new parish administrator has enhanced communication within the church and with the local community. Many of the church groups have WhatsApp groups which further enable communication, connection and friendship.
Community Outreach Group continues to support the ‘Warm Spaces’ initiative through the Knitting and Stitching group. This group has also worked with the parish administrator to redevelop the ‘Parish Welcome Pack’, offer Dementia Awareness Training’ delivered by the Alzheimer’s Society for the congregation and are currently developing other initiatives linked to local and national charities.
The Millennium Centre (managed through a separate limited company) and Salutation Hall continue to be an important way in which this Christian community serves the needs of the wider community in which it is set. Both the centre and the hall are well used and provide invaluable service to the community. A team of buildings and grounds volunteers care for these buildings, as well as the church and its grounds, and progress of works is reported to the PCC.

ALL SAINTS' AND SALUTATION, BLACKWELL, DARLINGTON
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The Green Action Group continues to promote our care of God’s Creation leading the work towards achieving Eco-Congregation status for the Church. We currently hold the Silver award. Members of the group continue to share their experiences within the Deanery and with other congregations.
• Pastoral care
With an ageing congregation and a parish profile that indicates a high proportion of older people, this is an area of ministry that continues to grow. The pastoral care group, consisting of a retired ordained minister and a group of parish visitors, supports this vital ministry through regular pastoral visits in the home, care homes and hospitals together with bereavement visits. We also provide home communion for individuals in their own homes.
Service summaries, developed during the pandemic for those who don’t own computers or have a way to connect to online services, continue to be produced and distributed each Monday to those who are unable to access church services physically or online. These summaries include the readings from the Sunday services, together with the sermon and include large font versions for those who need them. They are delivered in person by a team of volunteers.
We are registered to deliver the ‘Bereavement Journey’, a 5-week course as part of a rolling programme in support of people who have experienced bereavement both recently and in the past. Demand is high and we are seeking to work with other churches in the Deanery to share resources.
• Communication
This is an area that, as a Church, we continue to strive to improve and was an area highlighted for further work by the Parish Vision Day (2023). The development of a Communication Group as a sub-committee of the PCC and appointment of a new Parish Administrator has enabled co-ordination of our communication activity within and beyond the parish. A range of communication methods are in use, including the website, Facebook and MailChimp. In addition, leaflet drops about the Summer and Christmas Fairs, together with the Parish Christmas card, are delivered to all households in the parish. Church notice boards have been replaced and updated in recent years to increase the visibility of activities and services within church buildings.
The production of the Parish Magazine continues to be led by a team of three editors who actively seek articles from a wider range of contributors. This publication (11 editions per year) is a vital source of information and interesting content for the readership and feedback has been very positive.

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The Parish Vision:
“To Grow God’s Kingdom through All Saints’ and Salutation, Blackwell”.
We believe God is calling us to do this by:
-
Growing the Church
-
Growing as Disciples
-
Growing in Service to the parish and beyond.
The Parish Vision was first developed in 2009, revisited in 2011 and refreshed when a Parish Profile was written in 2014. In May 2016, there was a meeting to look at the Parish Vision and the current situation in the church and how this informs our plan for mission in the future.
A Parish Vision Day was held in September 2023 to review the Parish Vision and revisit our priorities. Our Parish profile demonstrates that we have a larger than average elderly population and there is a growing number of socially isolated people, not just the elderly, but also adults living on their own. The meeting considered this ageing profile and how we might support this going forward, acknowledging that we needed to explore the needs of our parish further than time permitted on the day. There was agreement that the vison statement and the three priorities are still broadly applicable, but the meeting highlighted that further work is needed to develop specific and achievable priorities within each priority area.
A working group (Vision Group) was convened to take this work forward and this group reports to the PCC. The work to improve communication within the congregation and across the parish was passed to the communication group when it was established by the PCC. The Vision Group continues to work with the Ministry Team to develop discipleship opportunities.
Pre-School
The All Saints’ Blackwell Pre-school continues to thrive under the leadership of Amanda Summers and her team. The most recent Ofsted inspection (2022) reported that the Pre-school is outstanding in all areas and highlights:
“Children thrive at this lovely pre-school. They demonstrate high levels of independence and confidence and show that they thoroughly enjoy their time at the pre-school. Staff know children extremely well and plan exciting activities that ignite their curiosity. For instance, children show fascination as they watch caterpillars, using their magnifying glasses. Children's behaviour is impeccable. Adults set clear expectations for children's behaviour. They model respectful relationships excellently. Adults are very responsive to children's emotional needs and children make strong bonds with adults. Children thoroughly enjoy playing together. Close friendships are evident throughout the pre-school. Children take turns, discuss their ideas and work collaboratively. For example, children work together to hold a pirate flag up in the wind and say, 'Let's hold it up. Three, two, one!' “ “Children benefit from adults who have a deep understanding of each child's needs. Children who need additional support receive this is quickly and effectively. For example, plans are put in place so that all staff know how to help children to make progress and referrals are made to other services for support, such as speech and language therapy.”

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Parents and carers continue to speak very highly of the Pre-school and all the staff.
The PCC and congregation are supportive of the Pre-school. A Lay Reader provides regular input and supports visits by the children into church. In addition, the Social Committee has supported fund raising coffee mornings to fund additional educational activities for the children.
Related Parties
All Saints Millennium Trust (Darlington) Limited is considered to be a related charity.
Financial Review
Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £110,479 (2024: £101,646) with total expenditure on unrestricted funds amounting to £107,540 (2024: £113,736) giving a surplus of £2,939 (2024: deficit £12,090).
Unrestricted Planned Giving increased to £52,286 (2024: £45,649), which is a welcome change from the disappointing reductions over recent years.
A total of £96,050 (2024: £100,489) was spent to provide the Christian Ministry helped by the main part of this, our payment of parish share to the diocese, maintained at £50,000 from 2024. We remain happy to pay this large amount in parish share as it largely provides the stipends and housing for the clergy within the diocese.
The Restricted Funds surplus amounted to £21,386 (2024: £14,523), which included the surplus made by our Pre-School in the year of £13,666 (2024: £8,109).
We are particularly proud that in 2022 Ofsted awarded it ‘outstanding’ in all areas.
During the year we successfully applied for a grant from the Lottery Community Fund of £15,000, restricted to carrying out repairs to Salutation Hall. These repairs include the replacement of the windows, costing £7,280 in the year, and upgrading of the heating system which will happen in 2026.
Consequently, the overall net surplus which amounted to £24,325 is a much better result than the surplus of £2,433 achieved in 2024.
Unrestricted reserves increased by £2,939 to £63,653 while restricted reserves increased by £21,386 to £90,125 giving overall reserves of £153,778 (2024: £129,453).
Full details are provided in the financial statements.
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the PCC to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds, if possible, which equates to approximately six months’ unrestricted payments, excluding the parish share, to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. It is our policy to invest our long-term funds balances with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund and Unit Trusts.
Structure, governance and management
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and to stand for election to the PCC

ALL SAINTS' AND SALUTATION, BLACKWELL, DARLINGTON
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Committees of the PCC
The PCC operates through several committees which meet between full meetings of the PCC and whose proposals must always be agreed by the PCC before being put into action (except in the case of the Standing Committee). It is usual for each of these committees to be chaired by a churchwarden, a pro-warden, or the Incumbent.
Standing Committee
This consists of the Incumbent, churchwardens, PCC Secretary, and PCC Treasurer. It is the only committee that is required by law. It has the power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council.
Finance Committee
Aims to support both treasurers to develop effective stewardship of all the church’s various financial resources including Planned Giving and to develop monitor and report on the annual budget. It also ensures that our insurance cover is adequate and it takes responsibility for any recommendations that are necessary with our insurers. This committee is responsible for pursuing ways of financing future enhancement of the church building. It also monitors the finances of the Pre-School Group. It ensures that the PCC complies with charity commission obligations, and ensures the church has relevant and workable policies for staff guidance. This committee advises the PCC on all required policies.
Buildings and Grounds Group
This group is responsible for the care and upkeep of the church and its grounds and Salutation Hall and its grounds. It is also responsible for ensuring that any recommendations of a quinquennial report are implemented. It also undertakes, on behalf of the All Saints’ Millennium Centre Trustees, the care of the day-to-day maintenance of the Centre.
Community Outreach Group
Helps the church to communicate the Christian message to the people of the parish and to minister to their needs. This outreach is expressed in lay pastoral care, a ministry of welcome, positive communication, evangelistic initiatives, charitable giving and outreach to schools and care of the vulnerable. The group is responsible for developing the Church’s concern for the needs of the wider society and world, making connections with the wider community and looking beyond the needs of our own local community when appropriate. To achieve all of this, the group needs to liaise closely with the Social Committee, the Communications Group and the Pastoral Group.
Social Committee
Organises and co-ordinates social occasions throughout the year that give church members an opportunity for fellowship. Some of these events will raise money for PCC funds. One event in each year may raise money for a special local charitable cause that is different from others supported by the parish and one event may be offered free of charge to the local community.
Pre-School Executive Committee
Usually chaired by the Incumbent, this committee manages and oversees the running of the Ofsted registered Pre-School Group.

Salutation Hall Working Group
This group manages the running of Salutation Hall. Membership is agreed each year by the PCC.
Communications Group
This group leads on development of internal and external communications on behalf of the Church and its remit includes the website, email communications, publicity for events and special services, the Parish Magazine, Zoom and social media.
Ministry Group
Usually chaired by the Incumbent (currently chaired by a retired member of the clergy) and independent of the PCC structures, though working in partnership with them, this group acts as a peer support group for the clergy (including the retired clergy who exercise a ministry in the parish), the Readers and the Pastoral Assistant. In partnership with other worship and education groups, it reviews and plans worship, particularly special services, and educational opportunities for the Church.
Green Action Group
This group helps the church to appreciate individual and shared responsibility for global warming and to relate this to the Christian faith. The group aims to encourage the church and wider community to move to a simpler, more sustainable lifestyle that will protect all God’s creation and ensure justice for all God’s people.
Risk management
The PCC has a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
PCC Meetings
The full PCC met six times in the year with an average attendance of 18, which represents approximately 82% of the full membership, including the co-opted members, secretary and treasurers. In addition, one extraordinary meeting was held in September, at which 21 members attended. Sub-committees and groups met between meetings and their reports and proposals were discussed by the full PCC.

ALL SAINTS' AND SALUTATION, BLACKWELL, DARLINGTON
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the PCC, which is a public benefit entity under FRS102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The trustees have reasonable expectation that the charity will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The trustees believe that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
Tangible Fixed Assets
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of the tangible fixed assets by equal annual instalments over their estimated useful life as follows:-
Organ and sound system
10% per annum
Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011.
Moveable Church Furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property listed in the Church's inventory, which is available for inspection.
All expenditure on play equipment and other fittings for the Pre-School is written off at the time the expenditure is incurred.
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Administration Costs
All administration costs are borne by the unrestricted fund.
Grants receivable
Grants are credited to income when the charity becomes entitled to the grant. Grants that have not met the performance criteria in the accounting period will be deferred.
Funds
Unrestricted funds are funds that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC.
Restricted funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given.

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF
ALL SAINTS' AND SALUTATION, BLACKWELL, DARLINGTON
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Income
Planned giving, interest, collections and similar donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the income to which they relate is received. Grants, legacies and pledges are accounted for when the PCC has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. All income is accounted for gross.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the PCC to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The parish share is accounted for when due. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.
Financial instruments
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of financial activities in expenditure.
Leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from taxation on its charitable activities.
Significant judgements and estimates
In the application of the PCC's accounting policies the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Significant judgements
The judgements (apart from those involving estimations) that the trustees have made in the process of applying the PCC's accounting policies and have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are as follows:
Depreciation - Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less it's residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset. An estimate of the useful economic life of assets is detailed in the depreciation accounting policy. The value of depreciation charge in the year was £694.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the actual outcome. There are no key assumptions or sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the current amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
