All Saints Church, Ripley, Derbyshire Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2025

churches and we always look for ways to work together to support each other in our shared Christian ministry. When referring to our group of churches, we currently use a working name of “The Butterley Churches”.

Charitable Activities

The PCC is responsible for the maintenance of All Saints Church, Church Street, Ripley and management of the old Police Station site, in Moseley Street. The All Saints’ vision is to be a church that is ‘transforming lives and communities through the love of Jesus’. As part of our vision, we see the use of our buildings and other facilities as a crucial part of our mission to reach out to the local community in ways that promote that objective.

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at All Saints. Our services include scripture and teaching, prayer, music and sacrament, and aim to help people put faith into practice. Our worship services are streamed online and have expanded the number of people able to worship with us. We also use Facebook to publicise our activities alongside publishing all of our services on the Church of England’s “A Church Near You” website. This enhances our reach into the wider community.

We aim to enable everyone to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:

The PCC has had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when planning and reviewing its activities.

Review of the Year

Church Attendance and Services

All are welcome to attend our regular services. There were around 65 adults and seven under 16 years of age in church, and six online, each Sunday, with more people catching up with the online service later in the week.

Festival services were held in church again in 2025 and livestreamed, except for Remembrance Sunday when we held a large outdoor service for the fourth year running. There is a marked increase in attendance for festivals, with Remembrance Sunday attracting around 1,000 people and nearly 300 attended services during the Christmas period.

In 2025 there was 1 wedding, 1 baptism of a child (under 1 year), 1 thanksgiving for the gift of a child (under 1 year) and 14 funerals.

We have a single morning service each Sunday at 10am. The service style varies on different weeks, with a more traditional Holy Communion service and hymns on the first Sunday of the month. The second Sunday is a contemporary service with Young Church meeting and more modern songs (sometimes with a band). The third Sunday service offers Prayer Ministry, and the fourth Sunday is a contemporary Holy Communion service with Young Church meeting (sometimes with a band). Our fifth Sunday services are usual Family Worship aimed to allow all ages to worship together. This way our congregation have a choice of online or in-building worship and enjoy a range of worship styles. We also have JAM monthly on Saturday afternoons where families learn about faith through creative activities and enjoy occasional social events.

Young Church

Primary-School-age children can join Young Church during Sunday services on the second and fourth Sundays each month.

All Saints Church, Ripley, Derbyshire Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2025

Young Church has been through a period of change this year…. we had a group of about ten children aged between six and 15 years. We concentrated on delivering Christian teaching with fun activities, craft, and games where friendships could grow within the group.

We were thrilled that six members attended Youth Alpha on Sunday mornings in 2025 and, after the course ended, the young people moved to the Youth Group.

We now follow the "Roots " teaching curriculum. Sadly, two of our remaining four children have recently left Ripley. We continue to hold Young Church sessions, but we wait and pray for new members.

Youth Alpha and Youth Group

The older youth element of our young church at All Saints began in its current form in May 2025 starting with a youth Alpha which ran every week until July 2025. From that point, not including the summer holidays, fifth Sundays and special occasions, we have aimed to run a youth session in the Parish Room every Sunday. This has generally consisted of a game to start, followed by a discussion around a bible verse. Initially we used the same bible verse and themes which were being used in the main service. Beginning just after Christmas we have started to use the Roots resources aimed at the ‘Youth’ age range. These resources enable different leaders to have a pre-prepared resource package hopefully reducing the workload in preparing sessions. We have made use of the large television to display the resources, which has created some useful interactive elements. A range of snacks are always available to the young people, making sure that there are some healthy options.

We have had a stable core group of four to six, increasing to eight at times They range from 11-17. The group has formed some lovely friendships, and this has been wonderful to see. A big thank you to all the leaders who have enabled the group to meet week to week and please pray for us as we continue down this pathway in supporting our young people.

Squeals on Wheels

2025 was a strange year for the Squeals team, for the first time in many years, we didn't have a waiting list, numbers were dropping, this was most unusual! We were at a loss at the reasons for this, was it something we were doing that people were not happy with? The numbers dropped so low that we even considered we may have to close as there were so few families attending that the team were very nearly outnumbering them. We agreed as a team to monitor the situation closely after Christmas. But we believe that God had other ideas!

Then we realised that the government were offering more nursery hours per family, and also due to the economic situation mums were having to return to work much earlier than they would have liked. So, we decided to have an open joining of Squeals, no waiting list, and people were encouraged to just turn up, which they did in their dozens.

How lovely and rewarding to see new parents coming in with new babies and a great start to a new year. I want to thank the team for their continued commitment, love and fellowship.

Elaine Bestwick Squeals on Wheels Leader

JAM

‑ We’ve smashed up plates to try the craft of Kintsugi, formed a pop up youth band – for one month only – and entertained the residents of Woodlands Nursing Home with our carol singing. JAM continues to provide an opportunity for families to meet together and learn about what it means to follow Jesus, by using a thematic,

Page 4 of 18

All Saints Church, Ripley, Derbyshire Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2025

interactive approach. Discussion forms an important way to get people thinking. In July, we considered how we would (and should) react to typical family holiday scenarios; we thought about whether various statements were fake news or true in our session on trusting what we read in the Bible. We are developing our sung worship at the moment, although we always have a chance to respond to God through our prayer activity. All our activities and teaching are aimed at adults and young people.

Since September, the teenagers have been encouraged to sit together if they prefer, although there is a real feeling of friendship between all ages and the younger children love to “hang out” with the older ones!

We predominately serve church families, although two new family groups have recently been to JAM, one with a link to Squeals. We pray that they will feel welcome and join us again in the future.

JAM can be hard work, but we always feel encouraged by the enthusiasm shown when we meet each month. Our families keep coming! But still, we keep praying about where God may be taking us in the future to draw more families in…

Vicky Parsons JAM Coordinator

Home Groups

We have three home groups based in Ripley. There are around 30 people attending the groups in total with a few spaces if anyone wants to join. Within The Butterley Churches there is also a home group that meets in Swanwick. Home groups are places of fellowship, trust and belonging and are always welcoming to new members. Activities include sharing and praying together, bible study and discussion. Groups also meet for social occasions such as going out together for meals and walks.

We are always keen to start new groups and if you would like to offer a meeting place or would like to lead a group, please let me know.

The Reverend Chris Graham Home Group Coordinator

Open Door

Open Door is held every Friday morning between 10 am and 12 noon at All Saints Church. This is a very informal meeting place run by two teams of church volunteers, doing alternate weeks. The aim is to welcome all comers with a smile and a warm greeting, keeping an eye out especially for newcomers on their own.

Volunteers rearrange the church to resemble a coffee shop where a hot drink and a piece of homemade cake (made by volunteers) can be purchased at a reasonable cost. We have found Open Door to be particularly helpful to people who have been recently bereaved, in no time they have made friends and meet regularly.

Something that has developed over the years is a Craft Table, where a large group of people meet each session to chat and be creative.

The teams of volunteers find this experience very rewarding and Open Door is going from strength to strength.

Tower Captain’s Report

The Bell ringing team meet on the first Wednesday of the month to practice. the main aim of the team is to ring for services, however as we are a small team we are only currently able to ring for celebratory services, such as weddings and Christmas services. Last year we rung for a wedding, a funeral, Reverend John’s Institution and

Page 5 of 18

All Saints Church, Ripley, Derbyshire Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2025

Induction, and two of the Christmas services. Because we are a small team, we are thankful for the help we receive from other towers, namely, Denby, Horsley, Swanwick and Pentrich, without whom we would not have been able to ring. We have been able to start something for Sunday services, but as we are reliant on ringers from other towers, we have only been able to do this a couple of times.

If you would like to try ringing, please contact Mark Vale, as we would like to grow the team so we can start regularly ringing for Sunday services. Also, it is intended to clean and paint in the bell chamber and if anybody can help please get in touch.

Mark Vale Tower Captain

Mission Giving

The church regularly supports four charities from its annual income, as chosen by the PCC: Links, SAT-7, Betel and Valley CIDS. Towards the end of 2025 the PCC decided to stop supporting Links and to make a decision early in 2026 on a different charity to support over the coming year. The PCC is intending to review all the charities we support in 2026 with a view to committing to support them for a period of time, for example two years, before reviewing them again. This helps to give the charities some certainty of the giving they will receive from us.

March onwards: Throughout Lent we held regular prayer sessions which moved around The Butterley Churches.

Report on the Proceedings of the PCC

The full PCC met 7 times in 2025 with an average attendance level of 81 per cent. The Standing Committee only met to set the PCC Agenda. As no decisions were made by the Standing Committee, minutes of these meetings were not taken.

Below is a summary of each meeting, where this information has not already been provided elsewhere in this report.

The meeting of 28 January 2025 agreed 1) the draft budget for 2025; 2) to upgrade the sound desk computer and purchase a Wi-Fi extender. Other non-standard items discussed were the vacancy advertisement schedule and arrangements for covering safeguarding.

The meeting of 18 March 2025 agreed 1) the purchase of a new Piano; 2) to maintain the size of the PCC under the agreement from the APCM of 2016; 3) a salary increase of 3.6% for the Administrator. Other non-standard items discussed were the costings and funding of wall repairs, and a recent fact-finding visit to Holy Trinity Hurdsfield Church in Macclesfield in relation to new building development on the Old Police Station site.

The meeting of 9 October 2025 agreed the following: 1) to approve the Christmas Lights Switch On event and Youth Alpha Group activities for the Safeguarding Dashboard; 2) allow raffles to take place in church subject to the judgment of the Vicar and to raffle tables being situated away from the door.

The meeting of 2 December 2025 agreed the following: 1) a full recruitment process for a Parish Administrator; 2) the proposed budget for 2026. Other non-standard items raised were proposals for altering the current parish and benefice legal structure across the three churches. Rev’d John also informed the PCC he would like to review service patterns in the coming year. Ideally this will be guided by a new Mission Action Plan. However, based on availability of the ministry team, and the fact that The Butterley Churches current service pattern all overlap, the changes may need to happen sooner.

Emergency meeting of Sunday 7th December 2025 This was held to revisit the application process for a permanent Parish Administrator. After discussion the meeting agreed to invite Helen Bridger to apply for the permanent role without wider advertising, subject to a successful application and interview process.

Financial Review

All income and expenditure for All Saints, whether for general or restricted funds, is shown within the Financial Statements. The church's day-to-day activities are reflected within the unrestricted general (Operational Activities) fund, which is principally funded by the generosity in giving by church members.

Income – Total income for the year, over all the funds, shows a reduction of £49k from the previous year. Most of this reduction relates to a legacy of nearly £21k and several one-off generous gift aided donations totalling £22k from church members having been received in the previous year.

Expenditure – shows an increase of £16k from the previous year. This relates mainly to costs of repair of a water leak from the tower and initial investigation of some wall cracks in church. The church’s policy of giving 10% of its normal giving from the congregation to outside mission and charities continues, as in previous years.

The general fund ended the year with a deficit of £5.5k, compared against a budgeted deficit of £4.1k. The difference relates mainly to the cost of a replacement piano. Whilst being an additional cost over and above the original budgeted deficit, the new piano will provide the person leading the music within some of our worship services a more reliable instrument to use.

Whilst being an ever-increasing challenge to achieve over recent years, the church continues to strive towards maintaining a sustainable financial position in which its day-to-day expenditure is fully covered by its income.

Funds and Balances - Details of the movements on all funds are shown in note 12 of the financial statements. Most of the income into the other funds relates to interest received. Unrestricted "free reserves" amounted to £69k at the end of the year (2024-£89k, 2023-£44k). Within this year's figure is an amount of £36k designated to the Fabric Fund and £1k to the Community Fund. The PCC considers the free reserves held are still adequate for the general operational running of the church.

The “Property” fund within Unrestricted designated funds is not a “free reserve” as it represents those costs already incurred in previous years in acquiring the former old police station site next to church. The reserves held for the Old Police Station Fund are restricted for the future building project for that site.

Churchwardens Report (including the Annual Fabric Report)

We would like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to all who have given their time throughout the year to maintain the church and church grounds. Outside, the lawns and gardens have been beautifully maintained and inside, the church is spotlessly clean and tidy. Also, thank you to those whose work goes on more behind the scenes, on church administration, finance, preparation for services and refreshments for the many activities that take place throughout the year. And finally, thank you to those who offered and contributed to the Church Profile earlier this year.

Whilst the church building is generally in a good state of repair, we have undertaken maintenance work on the tower and investigated the crack in the chancel wall. The repair to the tower between the tower and the roof of the nave was completed earlier this year although there is further work to be done on the tower. Inside, the nave wall needs a couple of steel bars inserting across the crack, and we have submitted a Faculty Application for the work to be approved by the DAC. We expect this work to be completed shortly after Christmas. Both repairs are expected to cost in the region of £30,000, however we are pleased to report that we have received grants totaling £7,467.89 for the repairs.

The more routine electrical, heating and fire alarm installations and equipment have been professionally checked, tested and serviced. Our Quinquennial Inspection will be undertaken early next year.

Although there is still much to do, we pray that as a church we might:

‘ Run our race with perseverance, setting aside distractions, and keeping our focus on Jesus who leads and perfects our faith.’ (based on Hebrews 12:1–2)

Report on the Proceedings of the South East Derbyshire Deanery Synod

For 2026 Annual Parochial Church Meetings: Church Representation rules: M5(1)(e)

The South East Derbyshire Deanery Synod met formally on three occasions in 2025.

In February we focussed on Deanery Structures with the then Archdeacon, Ven. Karen Hamblin. We also welcomed Sam Frith, Director of Strategy and Engagement for the Diocese of Derby. Sam enabled us to realise the great extent of community engagement that was happening in our parishes.

The June Synod focussed on Spirituality with support from Rev. Cameron Ballard, the Bishop’s Spirituality Advisor. We also introduced what we aim to be a regular agenda item: representatives sharing ‘Good News’ stories.

We welcomed Bishop Malcolm to our October Synod to talk about ‘Growing Younger’. Dawn Knight also spoke about ‘Faith Fostering and Adoption’.

Deanery chapter has continued to meet during the year focussing on mutual support for our clergy. The Deanery Leadership Team has also facilitated support for parishes in vacancy.

Our Deanery Leadership team was strengthened with the appointment of Rev Anne Wilkins as our Assistant Area Dean, providing valuable support to Dawn.

Safeguarding

Safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults remains an important focus within the Ministry at All Saints. To ensure we are complying with recognised guidance, the Trustees (PCC) have adopted the Church of England's safeguarding policy relating to children, young people and vulnerable adults and the appointed Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO) has completed the Diocese's training courses in safeguarding young people and vulnerable adults.

We continue to use the Parish Safeguarding Dashboard to audit our safeguarding practices. All volunteers within the church are recorded on this database. This helps us to review our policies and procedures and ensures that our staff and volunteers have the correct level of training according to the Church of England guidelines.

The PCC are provided with statistics from the Dashboard at every PCC meeting. Recently we have also introduced an additional report were the PSO provides a general overview of actions being taken within All Saints to reach our nationally set targets, along with a safeguarding topic to keep best practice at the forefront of our minds.

At the beginning of April 2025, we had a significant number of people that needed to attend Domestic Abuse Awareness training, however as the year progressed decisions were made nationally which removed this as a
