Statement of Members Responsibilities
The members are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the members to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity.
and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies, as described on page 19 and then apply them consistently.
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The members are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. The members are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Membership :
The PCC maintains separate electoral rolls for each of our Churches.
St James
As at April 2024 there were 92 parishioners (2023 – 91) on the St James’ Electoral Roll.
Church membership, those who regularly worship and are counted as part of the annual parish return, is 106 (2023 – 103).
The average weekly attendance, taken during October 2024 was 63 adults (2023 – 76) and 8 children (2023– 6).
St Peters
As at April 2024 there were 42 parishioners (2023 – 45) on the St Peters’ Electoral Roll.
Church membership, those who regularly worship and are counted as part of the annual parish return, is 42 Adults (2023 - 47) and 5 Children ( 2023 - 5 ).
The average weekly attendance, taken during the October 2024 count was 43 adults (2023 - 47) and 1 (2023 – 3) children.
Also 15 adults and 22 Children attended Messy Church. (2023 22 Adults 14 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.
Our calling as God’s people is to be a community who worship God through Jesus, who share the message of Jesus with the world, and who bless our parish in Jesus name.
Each church does this in a slightly different way.
At St Peters we are called to ‘Love God and love Westfield’. We seek to express this in 7 practices which find their roots in ancient Christian monasticism: Worship, Prayer, Hospitality, Availability, Community, Service and Study.
At St James we seek to be a Wholehearted Church, where we encounter God, grow as disciples, are equipped to live out the gospel, gather people in community. We sense a call to be a sanctuary, and to be a sending church.
In both churches, we seek to identify the particular calling and gifts of every individual, and release people into their God-given calling. We are blessed with many gifted church members, and many who give their time sacrificially and lovingly to God’s service through our churches, and in the wider community.

Achievements and Performance
People and Staffing
After a 2 ½ year freeze on clergy recruitment, we welcomed our new Associate Vicar, Rev Sarah Sanderson, in September. 50% of her role is focused on mission and outreach on the new Agusta Park estate, with a view to planting a new church in that part of Yeovil. The other half of her role is to share in parish-wide leadership with the Vicar. She has taken on oversight and leadership of St Peters.
Our SWYM placement student, Junel Ascano, left us in July. Following a generously supported parish Gift Day we have recruited a part time assistant Family and Youth workers to pick up this workload.
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 Jean Burgess, Richard Jackson and Christine Ibbotson.
3 adult members of our churches were confirmed at Wells Cathedral in the autumn.
Worship :
-
St Peters introduced a later morning service, aimed at people who don’t currently get to church. This has evolved into a ‘Lego Church’ which has started to attract some of our Messy Church families.
-
In the spring we hosted a town-wide prayer gathering, with over 100 people from 15 different local churches praying for God’s Kingdom to come in Yeovil.
-
During the year we had sermon series on the Apostles Creed, the books of Ruth and Jonah, the second half of Romans, and on Peter the disciple.
-
St Peters congregation remained about the same size as in 2023, there was a slight drop in average numbers at St James.
-
During the year we baptised 5 children and 1 adult and conducted 17 funerals and 2 weddings.
Agusta Park
-
A Pastoral Scheme was developed to create a new expanded parish of Lufton with Thorne Coffin, taking in all the housing to the W of Western Avenue, thus creating a single mission area for the work of the new Associate Vicar. This is currently in consultation before going to the Church Commissioners. If approved, Lufton with Thorne Coffin will be held by a single vicar ‘in plurality’ with Preston Plucknett, and will continue with a separate PCC.
-
Several strands of new work began in the autumn, including outreach events, schools work, exploring church adoption of a large existing youth group, and establishing a new cell group on Agusta Park estate. There has also been encouraging growth at Lufton church.
Church Life, Ministry and Witness
- In January we had a month of prayer for the parish, followed by the delivery of ‘say one for me’ cards to every home in the parish, offering the chance to send in a prayer request. Several people responded to this over the course of the year, and many of our church members got involved in taking out deliveries and praying for the parish street by street.

Annual Report and Financial Statements for the Year ending 31[st] December 2024
-
Our Lay Pastoral Assistants team launched a ‘bereavement café’ in August, meeting monthly at St James, to offer support to people at different stages in their grief journey. This has been an immensely helpful addition to our pastoral ministry, and the support we can offer through funeral follow up. |
-
We enjoyed a creative Away Day in Cerne Abbas led by pioneer priest and artist Gill Sakakini. There were also several quiet days and creative opportunities for prayer organized by our lay worship leaders throughout the year.
-
Our children and youth work continues to grow. During the year our Family and Childrens worker took over the running of a parent and toddler group on Westfield, which has now grown significantly, and is starting to connect with the ministry of Messy Church and Lego Church at St Peters.
-
We continue to support 4 Mission Partners (Open Doors, Compassion UK, Prison Fellowship and Christians Against Poverty in Yeovil), in prayer and with gifts of £1000 each during the year.
-
We continue to be involved on a weekly basis at both local secondary schools, and have regular assembly and RE input to 3 local primary schools. Our church primary school received a glowing report from SIAMS (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools), following their inspection into the Christian ethos and practice of the school.
-
St James hosted a successful Flower Festival in the summer, and a Pet Blessing in the autumn.
-
We ran a START course for enquirers, and a Confirmation course. With the new Agusta Park group we now have 10 cell groups, with a combined membership of around 90. These lay-led groups are a vital part of our discipleship and pastoral support of one another.
-
2 church members are in their final year of training for ordination.
St Peters Community Centre
The ‘Warm Hub’ launched in November 2022 continued to run throughout the year, offering drinks, welcome, company and food on a donation basis.
To supplement the Community Pantry, now supporting 35 households, Westfield Fresh’ launched in 2024. This gives away unsold supermarket food in return for a £1 weekly subscription and has quickly gathered a regular membership. Any unused items are included in the Pantry offer.
There are 4 regular activities led by outside providers which we’ve been able to take ‘in house’ and run with Centre and church leadership – a weekly toddler
group, children’s holiday activities (previously run by the local council), a weekly Flexercise group, and our on-site Library which was previously supported by Yeovil library, and we are extremely grateful to our volunteer Librarian, Kristi Baker.
We have developed a very positive relationship with the local police, who are a regular presence in the Centre. Anti-social behaviour on Westfield is 66% down over 2 years, in part due to this partnership, and in part due to the new youth groups we are able to run in the Centre.
Page 8 of 28
The Parochial Church Council of Preston Plucknett Annual Report and Financial Statements for the Year ending 31[st] December 2024
The Centre had a 5-yearly building inspection, a total redecoration at the end of the year, and has now been fitted with solar panels, which should save a significant sum on electricity costs.
With a wide range of current projects (Warm Hub, Westfield Fresh, Pantry, holiday activities, youth clubs, toddler group, slow cooker courses), the Centre cost around £125,000 to run in 2024, and was 99% fully funded. 2/3 of this income comes from grants towards the various projects, and credit must go to Marie Rice our Centre Manager and Frances Croxford our Treasurer, for securing such a large amount of external funding.
After 5 years in operation, it is tremendous to see the Centre fulfilling so much of our original vision, as both a community meeting space, a church resource, and a way of addressing so many of the needs of the Westfield community.
Financing our Ministry
St Peters finished the year with a small financial deficit, and St James with a more significant one (over £7,000). Our Parish Share paid to the Diocese will increase substantially over the next 5 years: it will now be calculated based on ‘costs of ministry’, which means that all our clergy costs must be covered by the parish, as well as the costs of support and ministry which we get from the Diocese. There are two ways we will meet this challenge: a) grow the church – the more of us there are, the more we can support b) our own sacrificial giving. There is no better investment than the Kingdom of God.
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 do such a superb job managing and communicating our finances throughout the year.
Rev David Keen, April 2025.

Deanery Synod Report
05th March 2024 Prebendary Ronnie Crossman, Ministry Training Team Leader at the Diocese, gave an interesting slide presentation on the new lay ministry training pathways, outlining points such as:
-
Shared local ministry with lay and ordained people working in collaboration
-
The Diocesan vision regarding development local gifts and skills
-
Bishop Michael's recommendation regarding the new pathways
-
Those present were shown Resourcing for Ministry packs and Lay Ministry Pathway leaflets, which we were encouraged to read and consider
-
Equipping and experiencing different ways
-
of being equipped.
25th June 2024 There is a new system of calculating Parish Share which will be phased in over the next three years. The new basis for calculation will the cost of ministry, with three components clergy costs, Diocesan support costs, and a generosity pot to help parishes in areas of financial need. It was noted that one priest costs £55K a year and that consultation is currently taking place.
Chris Thomas, Co-ordinator of Street Pastors, gave a presentation on their work which has been going on for the past fifteen years in Yeovil. The organisation consists of churches of several denominations working together and is currently growing internationally. They are in town on a Saturday night to look out for young adults in particular: if they need help, they will be there for them: for example, giving out flip-flops to girls whose high heels are not suitable, putting them into taxis to get them home. They listen and are non-judgemental. They are supported by a prayer team. In some situations, they are asked to work with the police.
15th October 2024 Matthew Pinnock, Diocesan Head of Finance and Operations, was present at the meeting. He began his talk by informing us that the Church of England as a whole has a deficit of £60m, of which Bath and Wells has a deficit of £2m, and of course there is an urgent need to get back to a financially stable position! The good news is that, since Covid, the Church is growing. He summarized how our parish share is spent It is broken into three sections, the largest of which is the first listed below
-
a) To cover the costs of stipendiary ministers to the benefices, about £56K per minister
-
b) To cover other Diocesan-wide costs, such as archdeacons and the mission support team, education, etc.
-
c) A mutuality and generosity fund to support churches and communities that cannot fully cover the cost of their ministry.
There is a five-year recovery plan in place with the hope and expectation that the Diocese's accounts will break even after that time. In the meantime, they are looking at ways to make it easier for people to give.
9[th] November 2024 - There was a 'Deanery Roadshow' at St James, with advisors from the Diocese leading workshops on 4 areas of parish life - mission and outreach, developing discipleship, finance and fundraising, comms and social media.

Annual Safeguarding Report to St James’ and St Peter’s PCC
Parish Safeguarding Policy
Our Parish Safeguarding Policy, approved by the PCC in October, is available on the Parish website under Safeguarding.
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.
Changes to safeguarding
In October the Parish Dashboard was updated to reflect changes in the way safeguarding is carried out. Up until now we have been following the ‘House of Bishop’s safeguarding guidance’ from 2016 but this is gradually being replaced by a new (2021) ‘Safeguarding Code’
There are five National Safeguarding Standards, against which parishes are asked to evaluate their progress. These five standards are:
Standard 1: Culture, Leadership and Capacity Standard 2: Prevention Standard 3: Recognising, Assessing and Managing Risk Standard 4: Victims and Survivors Standard 5: Learning, Supervision and Support
Full details can be found at: https://www.churchofengland.org/safeguarding/national-safeguarding-standards
Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks and Safeguarding Training
Everyone undertaking an eligible role within the church has DBS checks and safeguarding training updated on a three yearly cycle.
Safeguarding Contacts
Details of all Safeguarding contacts are on the church notice boards and the website.
Notes of Concern
Please ensure any safeguarding concerns are reported to the Parish Safeguarding Officer, or other appropriate contact. Notes of concern passed to the PSO this year have been dealt with according to diocesan policy.

Extractor fan installation in the church office. Following advice from our H&S officer an extractor fan is to be installed in the church office. This was approved by the PCC in 2024 with the work to commence second quarter 2025.
Following a risk assessment by the Church H&S officer a safety handrail has been installed on the steps to the outside tower door entrance.
Energy consuming light fluorescent tubes (8 units) in the Church Room have been replaced by energy efficient LED strip lights.
A CO2 alarm monitor was purchased and located in the kitchen area adjacent to the gas combi boiler.

Major Works and Projects.
Quinquennial Report Works .
2024 saw the setting up of a Quinquennial Working Group to oversee the recommendations of the December 2023 St James Church Quinquennial report.
Throught 2024 quotations have been received and via the PCC monies allocated to the following works.
Emergency Repairs to the Church tower Boundary wall repairs Church room roof investigation Church room roof repairs Office ventilation These works will commence and conclude in 2025
Rehang and Augmentation of Church Bells
2024 saw the setting up of a Bells working group to obtain quotations for the rehanging and augmentation of the Church bells and ringing chamber. This work is required due to the deterioration of the current bell frame and fittings. If the project does go ahead the target end date will be 2029. The current situation is that as agreed by PCC a faculty application has been submitted. Once granted detailed surveys will be carried out allowing a scope of works to be defined. This in turn will be used to obtain quotations and project costings.

Fabric Report for St Peters Church and Community Centre.
St Peters Church Committee and the Community Centre Committee have continued to ensure that the Church and Community Centre have been kept in good condition. All systems requiring annual safety and certification checks have been tested and rectified. This includes gas boilers, fire safety equipment, fire / security alarms and PAT testing.
This year, 5 years after the community centre build it was agreed that we would carry out a 5 Yearly Full Electrical check of the whole site and we are pleased to report all is in good working order.
We also agreed that a quinquennial survey needed to be undertaken even though legally not necessary. This took place Feb 2025 and result of which will be in next year’s report.
Small works, repairs and projects.
During 2024 there was not any significant expenditure on repairs to the Church building. We had a few problems with a small roof leak which has now been fixed, and we have agreed that during 2025 we will replace the tiles on the west facing slope of the church building.
The Community Centre has now been up and running for 5 years and as such we have had to address some of the wear and tear issues.
-
There were issues with the kitchen dishwasher, and we have had to have that replaced.
-
20 new Chairs were purchased for the main Hall to replace old one that were unsafe.
-
We were successful in securing £7849 funding from Morrisons to replace All the café Chairs, more blue chairs for the hall, new Pantry fridge and freezer and to replace the fridge and freezer in the Community Centre Kitchen.
-
Over the Christmas Break 2024 the whole of the Community Centre was repainted.
Major Works
Our Biggest project this year was that we secured funding to install 28 Solar panels and Batteries on the roof of the Community Centre. This will benefit both the Church and Community centre and hopefully reduce our Electric consumption by 30 % – 50 %.

3.Financial Review and Reserves Policy
Parish Financial Review
Note: Designated funds are those funds that the PCC has decided to allocate monies to. 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 £144,092 (2023 - £140,989 ) and for restricted funds £169,852 (2023 - £136,023) giving a total income of £ 313,944 ( 2023 - £277,012) .
The restricted fund receipts include £125,518 to St Peters Community Centre, £18,690 to the Parish Youth Fund, £22,069 to Parish Family and Children’s Worker Fund and £3,574 to Bell Project.
Expenditure
Expenditure on unrestricted and designated funds amounted to £140,862 (2023 - £131,111) and restricted funds £154,517 (2023 - £128,544) giving a total expenditure of £295,379 (2023 - £259,655).
Restricted Fund Expenditure includes £126,951 for St Peters Community Centre, £16,896 to the Parish Youth Fund and £ 10,629 to Parish Family and Children’s Worker Fund and £40 to Bell Project.
Reserves policy
It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on free unrestricted reserves which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to £32,690 (St James £25,133 St Peters £7,557). It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The balance of the free reserves at the yearend was £41,918 (St James £26,508 St Peters £15,410). This is within the 3 months minimum but a reduction on last year’s Reserves of £9,270 last year’s free reserves were £ 51,188 (St James £34,650 St Peters £16,538).
It was agreed by the PCC that if St James Free Reserves fell below 3-month general running costs that there would need to be a delay in paying of St James parish Share.
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 2024 £72,995 (St James £44,049, St Peters £28,946) Prior Year £70,245 (St James £42,389, St Peters £27,856).

The Parochial Church Council of Preston Plucknett Annual Report and Financial Statements for the Year ending 31[st] December 2024
Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2024
1. General Information
The PCC is a charity registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales, number 1158827, and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is The Parish Office, St James’ Church, Preston Plucknett, Preston Road, Yeovil, Somerset, BA20 2EZ.
2. Statement of Compliance
The Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and on an accrual’s basis in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and Charities Act 2011, together with applicable accounting standards, FRS 102 and the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
3. Accounting Policies
Basis of preparation
The Financial Statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the Financial Statements of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Funds
See separate notes 6, 16 and 17.
Income
Collections are recognised when receivable by or on behalf of the PCC.
The income from social events etc. is accounted for gross of expenses at the time it is received.
Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the event takes place, and the revenue is earned. Any amounts not received at the year-end are shown within accounts receivable.
Interest is accounted for when receivable.
All legacies receivable are credited to the statement of financial activities as incoming resources.
Donations under gift aid are recognised as income when the donation is received. Donations of items other than cash are included in income at current value.
Income tax recoverable under the gift aid scheme is recognised at the same time as the donation to which they relate.
Expenditure
Resources expended are shown gross, including irrecoverable VAT, and are accounted for on an accrual’s basis. Costs are allocated directly to the category to which they relate or apportioned on an equitable basis where they involve more than one category. Where this allocation is not possible costs are allocated within “other costs”. Missionary and Charitable giving is accounted for when awarded and paid out at the beginning of the next financial Year.

The Parochial Church Council of Preston Plucknett
Annual Report and Financial Statements for the Year ending 31[st] December 2024
Fixed Assets
Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from Financial Statements by s10(2) of the Charities Act 2011. 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.
