Annual Report** ## **Administrative Information, Structure, Governance and Management** St James’ and St Peter’s churches are situated in the Preston Plucknett district of Yeovil. The **r** egistered name is: The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St James The Great Yeovil. They are part of the Diocese of Bath and Wells within the Church of England. The parish office address is St James’ Church Preston Plucknett, Preston Road, Yeovil, Somerset, BA20 2EZ. These financial accounts are the consolidated accounts for St James, St Peter’s and St Peter’s Community Centre. A summary of the separate accounts can be found under notes 16, 17 and 18. Owing to the overall income being over £100,000 the PCC is registered with the Charity Commission as a charity in its own right. The Charity Registration number is 1158827. The PCC is aware of the risks to which it may be exposed. Financial risk is managed through the PCC’s financial procedures. Insurance continues to be with EIG. Statutory and legal requirements, in particular health & safety and safeguarding are closely monitored by nominated individuals on the PCC and consents, processes, procedures, and records are sought or maintained, as necessary. The PCC is aware of the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulations in May 2018 and maintains arrangements to ensure compliance. The members of the PCC are appointed according to arrangements set out in the Church Representation Rules. Members are recruited from those on the Church Electoral Rolls and appointed for a three-year term. The appointment is made either by approval at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting or by election if necessary. New members are introduced to PCC procedures and workings. ## **Aims and Purposes.** The Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent the Reverend David Keen, and the Associate Vicar in promoting the whole mission of the Church of England, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the Church Buildings, comprising. St James main church, entrance vestibule and office and church room, and St Peters main church and St Peters Community Centre.

Church membership, those who regularly worship and are counted as part of the annual parish return, is 103* (2022 – 106) and the average weekly attendance, taken during October 2023 was 76 adults (2022 – 57) and 6 children (2022– 6). *During the year we had a reduction of 12 members; 5 deceased, 5 moved away, 2 did not attend during 2023. But 9 new members were added. ## **St Peters** As at April 2023 there were 45 parishioners (2022 – 43) on the St Peters’ Electoral Roll. Church membership, those who regularly worship and are counted as part of the annual parish return, is 52 (2022 - 59) and the average weekly attendance, taken during the October 2023 count was 34 adults (2022 - 29) and 3 (2022 -3) children. Also 22 adults and 14 Children attended Messy Church. (2022 20 Adults 19 Children) ## **Objectives and Activities** The trustees have paid due regard to the guidance given by the Charity Commission on public benefit when deciding what activities, the charity should undertake. The objectives of the PCC are summed up in our vision statement: - The PCC’s vision is to be a wholehearted church where we: - Encounter God - Grow Disciples - Live the Gospel 24/7 in our daily frontline. - Gather Community, both within the church, and within the parish. This happens through the gathered life of the church (Sundays and in cell groups) in our ministries and programs (children and families ministry, groups for senior citizens, pastoral visitors etc.) and in the lives of church members in their day-to-day settings. The PCC is committed to enabling both churches to grow and flourish. The PCC maintains an overview of worship, finance, outreach, ministry, facilities, and parish policies (e.g. Safeguarding). All of this is to serve our calling as God’s people – a people who worship God through Jesus, and who share the message of Jesus with the world. Page **6** of **26** The Parochial Church Council of Preston Plucknett Annual Report and Financial Statements for the Year ending 31[st] December 2023 ## **Achievements and Performance** ## **People and Staffing** Staffing: with additional funding from Yeovil Town Council and Yeovil Without Parish Council, we were able to increase Ruth Glendinnings youth work hours by 10 per week from January, and take on a 5 hours per week assistant youth worker, Karl Goodman. Lay Ministry: we were delighted to renew the commendation of our teams of Lay Pastoral Assistants and Lay Worship Assistants (LWAs) at each church. Sue McFadden, Mark Felstead and Sandra Pickard completed training as LWAs and are a valuable addition to the team. Clergy & Ordinands: having been without an Associate Vicar since April 2022, the revised ‘Deanery Plan’ allocates us an Associate Vicar, housed in the new Agusta Park estate, with 50% of the role given to church planting there and the rest to the parish. We hope to appoint in 2024. During the year John Hanson was approved for ordination training, as a ‘Locally Deployed Minister.’ He will return to us as a Curate from July 2025 after 2 years of training. Coelette Parkes was ordained in the summer, and is serving her Curacy in the Ham Hill Villages benefice. We currently have 5 members of the parish either in ordination training, or serving Curacies. It was another year in which several faithful members of our churches went to glory, in particular we give thanks for the life and service of Roma Holt, Marguerite Braithwaite, and Avery Matthews. 2 of our young people, and 4 adults, were confirmed by the Bishop of Taunton in the autumn, with another adult member being formally received into membership of the Church of England. ## **Worship** : - St James introduced a new afternoon service ‘St James @4’, to complement morning worship, and to be accessible to people looking for a shorter service, or who struggle to manage mornings. - St Peters now has a weekly midweek service, on Wednesday lunchtime, alternating between communion and midday prayers. These have grown, with up to 20 on some occasions, including Community Centre users. - Sunday morning worship at St James continues to be live streamed, and is valued by those who are housebound and cannot attend in person. - During the year we had sermon series on the Names of God in scripture, Romans, and Fruitfulness on the Frontline. - St Peters congregation has recovered to pre-covid levels, and a number of new people have joined in the course of the year. St James congregation is about 75% of pre-2020 levels. Both churches had a ‘newcomer’s tea’ to welcome new members and introduce the church. - During the year we conducted 14 baptism (in 11 separate services), one dedication, 22 funerals and 2 weddings. There has been a significant fall in the number of weddings we do, and a smaller decline in baptisms. ## **Children, Youth and Families** There has been a lot going on! - With the extra Council funding (see above) we continued the youth drop-in at St Peters, aimed at the more challenging young people in the Westfield area. ‘The Hangout’, a new midweek group, has become well established after a successful run of summer holiday sessions. It’s notable that anti-social behaviour in Westfield is 61% down since the drop-in started. - St Peters now hosts 5 youth groups. The drop-in and Hangout (2 sessions) are open access and council funded. LIFT, our original church youth group, has moved to St Peters as this was closer to most of the members, and has grown as a result. The girl’s only Tea and Toast group has 1012 regulars and is run by Junel, our SWYM trainee. Page **7** of **26** The Parochial Church Council of Preston Plucknett ## Annual Report and Financial Statements for the Year ending 31[st] December 2023 - The midweek Tots and Toys at St James moved to a Thursday, and has grown. Laura our families’ worker has started a regular mum’s bible study, with contacts made through church and toddler group work. - Messy Church has continued at St Peters, with quiet and busy seasons during the year, and continues to bring us into contact with several families with no other Christian background or input. - Both Westfield and Preston senior schools now have a Christian Union, run in partnership between us and Yeovil Community Church. Both are asking for additional support from the church at other times in the week. - There are regular children’s groups now at both churches on a Sunday morning, with 2-3 families now coming regularly to St Peters. - We have regular contact with the 3 primary schools in our area, with regular assemblies in Kingfisher and Preston Primary school, as well as a number of visits to church and RE input throughout the year. Preston Primary, our church school, received an Outstanding judgement from their Ofsted inspection this year, which is a tribute to the superb leadership of the head, Claire Hodgson, and all the dedicated staff and governors. We are so grateful to all of those who serve with all of these ministries, both our paid workers Ruth and Laura, and our amazing volunteers! ## **Outreach** - Prayer continues to be at the heart of our outreach, with monthly prayer gatherings at both St Peters and St James to pray for mission and outreach in the community. We also had a season of prayer for ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ in the period before Pentecost. - Regular prayer for Lufton and the new Agusta Park estate has begun, we are working with Yeovil Baptist Church, and seeking to build a working partnership with Lufton church, in anticipation of the associate vicar appointment. - St James held a number of outreach and community events during the year, including a Good Friday family’s event, Knitted Bible Stories exhibition, an interactive art day on the theme of prayer, plus the usual set of Christmas services, which were very well attended. ## **St Peters Community Centre** The ‘Warm Hub’ which started in November 2022 ran throughout the year, as those coming were doing so as much for company and community as they were for free lunches. Around 70-90 lunches per week were served throughout the year, including a Christmas Day lunch for over 30 people. A ‘Community Pantry’ was launched in the spring, providing a low-cost food shop to 25 households, and staffed by a team of volunteers. This was supplemented by a ‘mini pantry’, so that we could help more people. Members join for 6 months, which enables us to build relationships, and help members find other sources of support. Between users of the Hub, the Pantry, the various youth groups, and all the regular Centre groups and users, we estimate that 400-500 people use the Community Centre every week. The Centre is overseen by a Centre Manager, supported by a Management Committee with representation from St Peters Church. The Centre is also supported by dozens of volunteers, many from the church. With several different projects and funding streams, the role of Treasurer is a complex one, and we are blessed to have one who is both highly skilled and very enthusiastic. The Centre brings church members into contact with a large number of people from the community, several of whom have complex needs. It has been a joy to see how members of the church have welcomed everyone into ‘their’ space, got alongside them, and helped some of them find their way into worship and prayer. Financially, St Peters finished the year with a comfortable surplus. The Community Centre finances are kept separately from the church and these also were sound, though we are highly reliant on grants and outside funding for special projects. St James ended the year slightly in the red and had significant Page **8** of **26** ## The Parochial Church Council of Preston Plucknett Annual Report and Financial Statements for the Year ending 31[st] December 2023 help during the year from a Gift Day, increased fundraising and room hire, and a fuel costs grant from the Diocese. Thank you to everyone who supports the church financially, and through fundraising. We are incredibly grateful to Frances Croxford and Lynne Biles, our two fantastic Treasurers, who have worked diligently and cheerfully throughout the year. _Rev David Keen, February 2024._ ## **Deanery Synod Report** Representatives from St Peter’s: Margaret Hamilton and Rhoda Wilson Representative from St James’s: Caryl Plewes – February 2023 Deanery Synod meeting - Lay Pioneer Minister Farhad Chermahini spoke of his work in the Birchfield area of Yeovil, including a local park that has been transformed into what is now a safe area for worship and art activities. ## 27[th] June 2023 – Deanery Synod meeting - Each representative lit a candle for their Parish as a commitment at the start of a new Triennial. - A revised Deanery Plan was proposed, identifying the need to deploy the Deanery’s allocation of stipendiary leadership to meet the mission and ministry aims of parishes, and empowering all of us in our sense of vocation to serve one another and our communities. An indicative vote was taken to accept the Plan, 20 in favour, 3 abstentions. ## July 2023 - A formal vote on the proposed Revised Deanery Plan was carried out online. ## 08[th] October 2023 - Rev David Keen was licensed as the new Yeovil Area Dean. ## 17[th] October 2023 - Bishop Michael met with many members of the Yeovil Deanery (in St John’s Church, Yeovil) to listen and learn what is happening locally, and ascertain where God is at work. ## 09[th] November 2023 – Deanery Synod meeting - Rev Ben Graham gave a presentation on his Chaplaincy work at Yeovil College. - The revised Deanery Plan was discussed further. Future Dates: 05[th] March, AGM 21[st] April, 25[th] June, 15[th] October 2024 Rhoda Wilson (February 2024) Page **9** of **26** The Parochial Church Council of Preston Plucknett Annual Report and Financial Statements for the Year ending 31[st] December 2023 ## **Annual Safeguarding Report to St James’ and St Peter’s PCC** ## **Parish Safeguarding Policy** A new Parish Safeguarding Policy approved by the PCC in October is available on the Parish website under Safeguarding. For any further information on safeguarding go to the e-manual on the national Church of England website at: ## _https://www.churchofengland.org/safeguarding/safeguarding-e-manual_ ## **Parish Safeguarding Dashboard** The parish continues to use the Parish Safeguarding Dashboard, provided by the Diocese, to monitor actions required by the Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO) and PCC. This is updated regularly, and reports are sent to the PCC. ## **Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks** The Diocese has changed provider for DBS checks this year and this has resulted in a few changes in procedure. The new prover is Thirtyone:Eight and can be found at: ## _https://thirtyoneeight.org/_ ## **Safeguarding Training** All volunteers are reminded to renew their training every three years via the CofE online training portal. A number of lay people in different roles have completed the Leadership Level training this year. In the future we hope to be able to offer some in person Safeguarding training. ## **Out of Hours Contact** The Diocese have appointed Thirtyone:Eight as an out of hours provider for emergency safeguarding support, they can be contacted at any time on 0303 003 1111. Details of all Safeguarding contacts are on the church notice boards and the website. ## **Notes of Concern** Any notes of concern that have been passed to the PSO this year relating to either young people or vulnerable adults have been dealt with according to diocesan policy. Jackie Perryman Parish Safeguarding Officer St James and St Peter’s, Yeovil Page **10** of **26** The Parochial Church Council of Preston Plucknett Annual Report and Financial Statements for the Year ending 31[st] December 2023 ## **Building and Fabric Reports** ## **Fabric Report for St James’ Church and Buildings** The PCC have continued to ensure that the fabric of the church buildings and surrounds have been kept in good condition. All systems requiring annual safety and certification checks have been tested and recertified. This includes gas boilers, fire safety equipment, fire/security alarms and PAT testing. The Quinquennial inspection was carried out in October, but the final report was delayed until early 2024 so work from that will feature in next year’s report. Both toilets were completely refurbished and redecorated and as part of our bid for an Eco church award the lights were changed to LED with movement sensors. HIVE heating controllers have been installed for both church and church room boilers giving us much better control of the heating systems with the ability to set up remotely. Electrical work to the floodlight system and emergency exit lights was completed following the 5 year EICR report from 2022. All work required has now been completed. Some small works, repairs and projects have been completed during the year and the third set of two yew trees were cut back hard in year 3 of the 3 year programme. The work was carried out under advice from the Diocesan tree expert and is now complete, all the trees have survived and are flourishing. The churchyard and grounds have been maintained by a small team of dedicated volunteers who cut the grass and look after the flower beds. And finally, we should record our thanks to the churchwardens, fabric team, grass cutters, church cleaners and everyone else who helped, for all their hard work during the past year. Chris Harris – February 2024 ## **Fabric Report for St Peter’s Church and Community Centre** St Peters Church and Community Centre has been very busy in 2023 and it is starting to have its effect of the fabric. In particular, the floors are starting to show signs of wear and several chairs have collapsed. The major issue has been replacement of pumps in the heating system, the cost of £4,000 being shared between the Community Centre and Church. The small meeting room has been converted into a food store for the Community Pantry and Westfield Warm Hub, with new shelving and new glass fronted fridges. A new leaflet rack has been installed at the back of the church. All the usual Gas Safety, Fire alarms, Fire Extinguisher checks, Security Alarms, entry Door Checks and PAT testing have been carried out during the year. Ian Croxford – St Peters Church Warden – Feb 2024 Page **11** of **26** The Parochial Church Council of Preston Plucknett Annual Report and Financial Statements for the Year ending 31[st] December 2023 ## **2. Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Preston Plucknett** I report on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31[st] December 2023 set out on pages 13 to 26. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under Section 145 of the 2011 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 which gives me cause to believe in any material respect: - the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, or - the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or  the accounts did 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.

Restricted funds are those funds for which monies have been specifically given and are therefore restricted as to what they can be used for._ ## **Income** Total receipts on unrestricted and designated funds were £140,989 _(2022 - £127,842_ ) and for restricted funds £ 136,023 _(2022 - £83,035)_ giving a total income of £ 277,012 ( _2022 - £210,877)_ . The restricted fund receipts include £111,061 to St Peters Community Centre project, £22,141 to the Parish Youth Fund, £2,821 to Parish Family and Children’s Worker Fund. ## **Expenditure** Expenditure on unrestricted and designated funds amounted to £131,111 (2022 - £122,965) and restricted funds £128,544 (2022 - £63,983) giving a total expenditure of £259,655 (2022 - £186,948). Restricted Fund Expenditure includes £100,034 for St Peters Community Centre Project, £14,767 to the Parish Youth Fund and £ 13,743 to Parish Family and Children’s Worker Fund. ## **Reserves policy** It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on free reserves (net current assets) which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to £29,335 (St James £23,660 St Peters £5,675). It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The balance of the free reserves at the yearend was £ 51,188 (St James £34,650 St Peters £16,538). This exceeds our target. However, it would be desirable to set our target to be higher, say 6 Months unrestricted payments which would be £58,670 (St James £47,320 St Peters £11,350). We are not far off this target and would be good to aim at for next Year. ## **Funds** A summary of funds can be found under note 6. It is our policy to invest our funds balances with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund. Balance as at 31 December 2023 £70,245 (St James £42,389, St Peters £27,856) Prior Year £67,163 (St James £40,529, St Peters £26,634).

No value is placed on movable church furnishings held by the churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal, since the PCC considers this to be inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings and moveable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvements, is written off as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) and separately disclosed in the notes to the Financial Statements. The value of the church hall is not included in the Statement of Financial Position as it forms part of a single building with St Peter’s Church. All expenditure incurred in the year on maintenance or improvement of the property is written off as expenditure in the SOFA and separately disclosed in the notes to the Financial Statements. Other fixed assets over £5,000 are capitalised at cost and depreciated over 4 years on a straight-line basis. ## **Current Assets** Amounts owing to the PCC at the balance sheet date are shown as debtors. Short term deposits include cash held on deposit with CBF Church of England Funds. ## **Current Liabilities** Creditors are provided in the accounts when expenditure is incurred in the accounting year but not paid until later accounting periods. ## **Grants** Grants are accounted for on the basis of date of receipt. ## **Value Added Tax** The charity is not registered for VAT. VAT on certain repairs to the church building can be reclaimed under the Listed Places of Worship Scheme. ## **Judgements and key sources of uncertainty** The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. ## **Going concern** There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
