ST ANDREW ’S CHURCH, DONHEAD ST ANDREW
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2025
Administrative Information
St Andrew’s Church is situated in St Bartholomew Street, Donhead St Andrew. It is part of the Benefice of St Bartholomew in the Chalke Deanery of the Diocese of Salisbury within the Church of England. The correspondence address is West End House, Donhead St Andrew, Shaftesbury, SP7 9DY.
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a registered charity with the Charity Commission (Reg. No. 1150714).
PCC members who have served during the reporting year are:
Rector: The Rev Kate McFarlane Chair Church Warden: Lady Cooper Vice Chair Mr Mark Jeffery
Elected members: Mrs Evis Holliman Mr George Lisle Mrs Lynda Appleby Mr Geoffrey Malone Mrs Kathryn Woodley (From May 2025) Mr Alistair Stoker ( Hon. Treasurer) Mrs Elizabeth Grady (Hon. Secretary and Electoral Roll Officer)
Structure, Governance and Management
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules, 2006. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. A revised Electoral Roll contains 61 names, compared with 57 in 2024.
Objectives and Activities
The PCC has responsibility as Trustee of the Parish Church of Donhead St Andrew and its churchyard. It also has the responsibility of co-operating with the Rector in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.
As St Andrew’s Church is also our village community space we encourage everyone to come to social events and individually to use the building and its library. The church is open every day. There is a growing use of the church space for coffee mornings, pilates, exhibitions, talks, plays and concerts. We offer places of quiet contemplation, prayer and reflection both inside and out - the churchyard now has a beautiful wildflower garden and seating.
We continue to welcome everyone to St Andrew’s for one of our services that are held each Sunday morning. These are BCP - Holy Communion at 8.30am on the first Sunday of each month, Sung Matins on the 2nd Sunday at 11am, Sung Holy Eucharist at 11am on the third Sunday and a Family Service at 9.30am on the fourth. There are also special services held throughout the year including Lent and Easter, Advent and Christmas and Harvest time. Also, on the 3rd Friday of each month at 10am we hold a quiet, informal Eucharist service as part of the Benefice Worship. The Benefice also has a Pastoral Care team, coordinated by the Rector, which responds to requests for help.
Rectors Review of the Year
Most importantly, I wish to express my deep gratitude to all those who display such commitment in caring for St Andrew’s. Our Churchwardens, Juliet Cooper and Mark Jeffrey, show great dedication to their roles. We are very sorry to see Juliet stepping down at this year’s APCM, but are deeply appreciative of the thorough, efficient, and deeply faithful, way she has fulfilled her duties.
Liz Grady continues to be invaluable as our hardworking secretary, and we are grateful to Alistair Stoker for his efficiency as Treasurer and to George Lisle for his attention to the church fabric. I am delighted that Kathryn Woodley has now taken up coordination of the Eco-Church process, as we seek to make care for God’s creation a key aspect of church life and to move from on from our Bronze Award to Silver.
In terms of ministry we are very fortunate to have Revd June Lane and Jo Johnson assisting with worship, and Matins remains a highly valued part of the service pattern. Elizabeth Hockney and Lynda Appleby’s Family Services are particularly esteemed by the congregation for their creativity and thoughtfulness. Michael Hockney, as ever, richly enhances worship with his music, while Elizabeth ensures
that the churchyard maintains its outstandingly beautiful and well-tended state.
Our PCC members and many others have been actively engaged in planning events, caring for our church and churchyard, creating extraordinarily beautiful floral displays, and offering refreshments and hospitality. We also continue to offer a Foodbank collection point in church.
Once again the Fete, which is a huge undertaking for Michael and his dedicated team, was very successful. The interest and help offered by newcomers to the village is much appreciated.
The church itself has also provided a wonderful venue for successful art exhibitions and other musical and social events, including harvest and Lent lunches. A highlight each month is the coffee morning and we are deeply grateful to all those who keep it running so smoothly. It serves as a regular and happy reminder of St Andrew’s desire to be a place of welcome and companionship for all our local community.
Health, Safety and Safeguarding
The role of Safeguarding Officer will be handed over to become part of the responsibilites of the new Benefice Administrator in 2026.
During 2025 the PCC has complied with its duty to have “due regard” to the House of Bishops’ guidance in relation to safeguarding by ensuring that all church officers who work with children, young people and/or vulnerable adults are recruited following the House of Bishops’ Safer Recruitment practice guidance, are aware of and work to House of Bishops’ safeguarding guidance (includes both policies and practice guidance) and undertake the relevant safeguarding training and DBS checks where required at least every three years. An audit has been carried out in each church to ensure that all the appropriate policies and guidance is in place, on display and/or accessible in the church. All volunteers are up to date with safeguarding training and are reminded when they need to renew at PCC meetings.
In August 2025 there was a data breach within APCS, the organisation which currently carries out DBS checks for parishes in this diocese. In this benefice 20 peoples’ data is thought to have been compromised. The National Church stepped in to provide advice and offer anyone affected a free Experian check. This breach has coincided with a move to transfer all DBS safeguarding checks in this diocese to a new provider which should give reassurance that this will not happen again. It will take some time in 2026 to transfer the data into the new system and to recommence DBS checks in the benefice. Once up and running, this system will also provide a more effective monitoring process within the parishes for safeguarding training and
generating Parish Action Plans, by gathering them into one place (where currently three separate data systems store our data).
During the year some changes were made to the levels of safeguarding training each volunteer role is expected to hold. It is no longer essential for each volunteer to undertake the Course “Awareness of Domestic Abuse” and only those who have a role which brings them into contact with either vulnerable adults or children need to complete this module. In addition the Church of England has determined that all PCC members, as Trustees, need to hold an up to date DBS certificate. This will take the overall number of volunteers in the Benefice of St Bartholomew who need to be DBS checked, to nearly 65.

Independent Examinerfs Report I report on the accounts for Donhead St Andrew Parochial Church Council for the ye.ar ended 31 December 2025 which are set out on the following pages. Respective responsibilities of the PCC(frustees)and Independent Examiner The PCC {tharty trustees) is resFM)nsible for the preparation of these accounts in accordance with the Church Auditing Regulations 2006. It considers that an audit is not required for this year under sectbon 14412} of the Charities Act 2011{the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 act Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145{51{bl of the 2011 act- and State whether particular matteTS have come to my attention. Basis of Independent Examinerfs Statement My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the charity Commission. An examination inrAudes a review of the accounting records kept bythe charity and a comparison of the accounts presented wrth those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the PCC concerntng any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the eVidenthat would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion Is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair viev/ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. Independent Examinerfs Statement In conneciion WTth my examination, no matters have come to my attention l.
