AIMS AND ORGANISATION
The PCC exists to Co-operate with the Rector in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church,
pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It is responsible for keeping the buildin85 in good order. It
normally meets monthly. except August and December, with additional meetings if required.
Committees and associated administrations
Ministry Team - benefice-wide group consisting of all licensed Ministers, Ordinands and Churchwardens- has
responsibility for co-ordinating the worship and teaching ministry across the benefice.
Standlng Committee, con51Sting of Rector, Curate, Churchwarden, Treasurer and another PCC member,
Valerie Bond. It meets monthly and deals with business between full meetings of the PCC. Its remit is to
provide strategic oversight and assist the Rector in the management of the parish, bringing recommendations
to the full PCC as appropriate.
Health & Safety is coordinated by Gill Miles in conjunction with the Churchwarden and Rector- they meet
periodically to ensure policy and procedures are kept up to date.
Buildin85 for Mission. Re-established by the PCC in October 2025 to keep track of progress on the
development of our buildings, liaise with our architect, make decisions lup to £1,000) and report back to PCC
on a regular basis. The focus initially is on All Saints but the group is also keeping Keedwell Church in view
until such time as 3 major project can be resourced.
A number of activities are undertaken by working groups which report regularly to the Rector andlor PCC -
including Community Lunches, Warm Welcome Cafe, Emerge youth 8roup and Choir.
Church Membership
Following a full revision of the electoral roll, there were 94 members on the roll immediately prior to the
th
APCM on 27 March 202512024.. 1181. An updated roll will be displayed shortly before the 2025 APCM.
The average adult Sunday attendance in October 2025 was 72 but this excludes those joining u5 online and at
other gatherings during the week.
VISION AND PRIORITIES
Both of the benefices, PCCS met together in October 2024 to begin the process of reviewing, discernin8 and
planning priorities for the next season of the life of our family of churches in Long Ashton, Barrow Gurney and
Flax Bourton. Over the following months, we sought to discern how to build on the foundations of the past to
ensure Jesus, promise, of abundant life and that all may flourish ljohn 10.101, may be more widely realised.
The new vision was launched at an open meeting in Keedwell Church on 4 October and a booklet setting out
our vision and priorities, 'That all may flourish,, is available on the website. A Series of workshops 15 planned
for 2026 to explore how the four foundations of the vision can be embedded within our church life.
Community; open to encounter- creating a sense of belonging where we can see, hear, know and
value everyone across generations, deepening trust and sharing values
Spirituality,. rooted in prayer- lifting our gaze to the horizons of eternity in every situation, connectin8
to wisdom, imagination and power beyond ourselves
Wisdom; committed to growth - cultivating habits of study, discussion and challenge: engaging in
dynamic conversation with the riches of the Bible and the experiences of Christians past and present
Action, inspired to serve- recognizing the 8ifts we have among us: puttin8 them to work generously
and with purpose in the Service of God and neighbour.

Worship
It is our aim that our church services should be community focused and open to all. In the best tradition of
local, parish church, we endeavour that everyone should feel welcome at any of our services, wherever they
are coming from and whatever they bring on their heart or mind. We continue to recognise there are
obstacles which may prevent people engaging with the life of the church.
Our worshippin8 life has evolved to include..
a greater variety of music
opportunities to worship outdoors in creation - especially within our Breakfast@9 community
the prioritisation of children and young families with a children's activity area at the front of the church
exploring how we encounter with Jesus through sermons and discussion around Bear Grylls, recent book
'The Greatest Story Ever Told,.
It has been encouraglng to see these developments bearing fruit and for new people to find ways to
encounter the living God through the local church. We believe this will be further enhanced as we live out the
vision 'th3t all may flourish,.
We have enjoyed getting together most months for benefice-wide worship including special occasions such as
an outdoor celebration of Rogation - the 'Big Church Day Out,, the annual 'Remembered with love, memorial
service and for markin8 the key milestones of Lent and Holy Week. We held two joint series of talks durin8
Lent explorin8 the Old Testament and key questions of faith.
The 2025 Statistics for Mission confirm the prominent role that pastoral ministry plays in serving our
community, particularly funerals and burials, of which we conducted 2 1 during the year, either at church, at a
crematorium or in the burial ground. We have also celebrated with the families of 6infants and children at
their baptisms and with the families and friends of 2 couples at their weddings.
It continues to be a joy and privilege, as the parish church, to provide a sacred space for the markin8 of life
events and community celebrations in this way.
Minlstry
We continue to be grateful for the ministry of our Rector, Revd James Harris, Curate, Revd Joanna Moule, our
Assistant Ministers, Revd John Andrews, Revd Michael James Iwho joined us during 20251 and Deacon, Revd
David Mumford,. as well a5 the many lay members of the congregation who offer their gifts to enable our
worship week by week- notably Tony and Gill Miles with the team who nurture the Breakfast@9 communitv,.
and the leaders of our Emerge youth group: Henry and Annabel Moule and Collete Miyagawa.
We were sorry to hear in October that Revd David Mumford has had to withdraw from ministry for the time
being while he undergoes treatment for an ongoing illness. We hold him and his family in our prayers.
We were pleased to be joined for a second year by Sophie Duncan, an Ordinand from Sarum College, as part
of her training in context. We consider it a privilege to receive the gifts Ordinand5 bring durin8 their
placements and to support those God is calling to serve the Church in this way.
The Choir continues to offer faithful service under Annie Fowlerfs leadership, ably supported by Val Bond, and
we are grateful for the ways they have helped enable the evolving shape and expression of our worship. We
give thanks to God for the abundant gifts Colin Smith offer5 in many and varied ways to provide musical
expression to our worship and prayers, on piano and organ, not least at funerals where countless grieving
families have found comfort and inspiration in his offering.

Tony Miles and Fiona Cunningham were reappointed Church Warden and Assistant Churchwarden
respectively at the 2025 Annual Meeting. The roles of warden are vital in providing lay leadership, prayerful
counsel and insight alongside the Rector. We are most grateful to them for their diligent and faithful service.
Mission and outreach
Our partnership with Northleaze Church of England Academy continue5 to develop and flourish, both through
involvement of clergy in the day-to-day teaching and worship at the school and through the commitment of
the Governing Body, for which the church provides three Foundation Governors, who monitor and support its
distinctively Christian ethos. These posts are currently held by Revd Jo Moule, Nini Anamah and Gill Miles.
Jo lead5 the termly lunchtime Bible Club, which always attracts an enthusiastic group of children who are keen
to explore Bible texts more deeply, and gives pastoral support for staff. We have been delighted to find
continued enthusiasm, co-operation and commitment for our partnership In our newly appointed Head
teacher, Corinne Clarke who joined the school in September 2025 and has quickly evidenced her belief in the
importance of strong church-school link5. We look forward to developing new ideas for flourishing together,
building on the strong foundations already in place.
The benefice website provides up to date information on our activities and the weekly benefice Church News
email newsletter (which now has over 350 subscribersl provides a digest of news, information and resources,
both practical and spiritual, for the church family and wider community.
The monthly Parish magazine provides a printed medium to celebrate life and faith in Long Ashton through a
variety of articles and pictures. We received over 250 subscriptions during 2025 and it is also available free
online from the website. We thank the Editorial Team, now led by Val Bond, for its hard work and creativitv.
We also give thanks for all those who distribute the magazine and, in particular, the coordinator Richard
Pillin8er and former distributor John Edwards, who retired after manv vears of faithful service.
The ministry of prayer is a key area for focus this year and we are currently exploring how to incorporate
prayer ministry after every service, as well as providing more and varied opportunities for parishioners to
engage in prayer.. our Advent 'Soul Space, evenings have provided a good model in which to build. We are
very grateful to Collette Miyagawa who provides us with prayer points for the Persecuted Church in different
ountries each month.
A highlight of 2025 was the Midsummer Magic festival in June and our thanks 80 to Elizabeth Holford and her
team for their inspirational leadership. Over the weekend of 21,122. June there were two concerts at All
Saints Church, a midsummer lunch, an art exhibition at Keedwell Church, family activities at All Saints and a
film-show at the community centre. Worship on the Sunday took place 'among the trees, with a specially
designed liturgy exploring faith as a journey through the forest. The funds raised allowed us to send £1,000
for the planting of trees at the Wraxall site of Children's Hospice South West and £2,400 for the provision of
borehole at Ndola School in Zambia.
Our weekly Warm Welcome Cafe at Keedwell, monthly Community Lunch and occasional Cream Teas
continue to provide a vital meeting point and source of friendship, care and support for 3 diverse group of
people from across our community, notably reaching a number of people for whom these gatherings are their
primary engagement with the local church. We are grateful to Karen Barratt and Fiona Cunningham, who lead
the running of Cafe with a dedicated team of volunteers- and to Beth Karsch and members of the team who
run the Community Lunches. North Somerset Council, Long Ashton Community Association and the Co-
operative Society have all supported these projects with grants and facilities.
The monthly visits to Lampton House are hugely appreciated by the residents and we are grateful to Beverley
Crocker for co-ordinating and helping to lead services alongside James and Jo. There is a monthly Communion

service for the community of worshippers at Audley Redwood retirement village, augmented by a homegroup
led by members of the community and pastoral visits on request.
The Long Ashton Branch of the Royal British Legion disbanded in November and their Standard was officially
received by the Rector for safekeeping at All Saints at the close of the Remembrance Sunday Service. We join
others in thanking Dave Addis, the branch secretary, for his unstinting work over many years.
Finance and fabric
There is much positive news to report and give thanks for. There was a surplus of £2,500 on the General Fund
before transfers - for the first time in several years we did not require legacy income or special gift days to
cover day to day running expenses. Regular giving increased by 5% - the increased giving by existing and new
members therefore more than offset the impact of the lost income from those no longer with us. Further
details of our finance5 are given in the Accounts and in the Funds and reserve5 report below.
In June 2025, we completed the sale of Church House. In line with the announcement of the proposed sale,
the PCC has decided to transfer the proceeds, totallin8 £237,900 net of disposal costs, to a designated fund
which will be used for the refurbishment of Keedwell Church in due course. The receipt of the proceeds also
allowed us to replenish the General Fund which had borne the costs prior to sale, thus enabling u5 to pay off
the arrears of our historical Parish Share commitments
The PCC continued to progress its 8uildings for Mission objectives, with the aim of ensurin8 both All Saint5
Church and Keedwell Church are sustainable and fit for purpose, facilitating accessibility through aesthetics,
welcome, worship and hospitality for all.
All Saints Church
The planning for the investment of the Jean Limmer legacy at All Saints has progressed wlth the PCC agreein8
a vision and priorities and an architect has provided options for what can be achieved. The three key priorities
determined by the PCC are Aesthetics, Welcome & Hospitality and Worship. The PCC presented its preliminary
plans to the congregation in May 2025 and received feedback which is being fed into our future plans. A
temporary reordering licence has been obtained in order to experiment with the removal of a number of
pews, predominantly from the side aisle5, to provide two area5 capable of more flexible uses.
A number of fabric improvement, repair and maintenance project5 have been undertaken at All Saints
followin8 receipt of the 2024 quinquennial inspection report. In particular, work has been undertaken to
ensure the roof is watertight so that the side aisles could be re-plastered and redecorated in November. The
repainting of the nave and chancel ceilings is currently underway ljanuary 20261.
Keedwell Church
Keedwell is first and foremost a place of worship with regular weekly and monthly service5 taking place there
with many attending who consider it 'their home church, rather than All Saints. Keedwell also provides an
expression of God's love in the heart of our community with hospitality, fellowship and 5UPPOrt offered
through various other outreach and community-building activities. In 2024 the roof was re-felted and in 2025
a number of smaller improvements were made including various overdue electrical works.
Eco-church
We have been liaising with the eco team at Flax Bourton church, who are to be congratulated on achieving a
Gold Eco-church award from A Rocha. We received a bronze Eco-church award in January 2026. We have
installed our first Swift boxes at All Saints Church in order to encourage the establishment of a new swift
colony. The Keedwell Wildlife Garden has also been restocked with a variety of native plants. We are hopeful
of making progress towards a silver Eco-church award during 2026 and our sermon series in January is
incorporating teaching on our discipleship with Jesus through a sustainable lifestyle.

Church operations
The PCC is grateful to Carolyn Conolly for the administrative sUPPOrt she provided over 21 years prior to her
retirement in November. We look forward to appointin8 a Church Operations Coordinator who will provide
shared resource across the benefice. May Wong has been appointed as interim coordinator for the five
months to April 2026.
Funds and reserves
During 2025 the accounts show a reduction across all funds of £39,500 due primarily to the costs incurred as
we invested in All Saints and Keedwell Churches along with the remaining costs relating to the Church House
disposal.
Unrestricted Fund5
Unrestricted funds represent the income and expenditure of the PCC excluding where the use of any income
is legally restricted by the donor beyond our normal charitable purpose. The PCC now has three separate
unrestricted funds following the closure of the Church House Fund.
At 31st December 2024 total unrestrirted funds were £347,200 but this included the Church House
Revaluation Fund of £340,000 leavlng just £7,200 of other unrestricted reserves. The PCC had therefore
deferred payment of 40% IE31,200I of its Parish Share until the Church House disposal proceeds are received.
At 3151 December 2025 the unrestricted reserves of £314,500 were all made up of bank balances and money
on deposlt
General Fund
Our General Fund represents the on8oing day to day income and expenditure. Voluntary Income increased
40A from £121,600 to £126,000. Our regular giving income increased by 60h12024 up 17%) to £98,300, and we
received Lump Sum Gifts of £3,80012024 £4,500) and Gift Aid of £20,10012024- 19,3001.
Overall the surplus on the General Fund is £2,50012024 deficit £12,4001. The balance on the General Fund is
£78,60012024 - £5,800). The increase arising following the disposal of Church House and the reimbursement
of the General Fund with the expenses of disposal.
LegL7Cy Fund
We are grateful for two unrestricted legacy gifts of totalling £5,70012024 - £16,400). These funds are bein8
used in line with the families, wishes.
Keedwell Church Fund
As explained above, the £237,900 net proceeds of the Church House sale were transferred by the PCC to this
Fund and will be used for the redevelopment of Keedwell. The PCC authorised preliminary works during 2025
of £10,000 to be undertaken primarily relating to the electrics, noticeboards and external doors. The
proceeds are held on deposit, generating £5,700 of income in the second half of the year.
Restricted Funds
Limmer Legacy Fund
The £233,700 balance on this fund comprises the 'restricted' legacy received during 2023 which 15 available for
the upkeep and renewal of Church Fabric (excludin8 day to day running expenses). £32,700 has been
expended during the year and £10,400 of interest has been earned on the monies on deposit. As noted
bove. £14,600 of 2024 expenditure has been reimbursed to this fund now the Church House disposal
proceeds have been received. The PCC intend5 to continue to utilise this Fund for the upkeep and renewal of
All Saints Church.

Other restrictedfunds
The balance on the Future Facilities Fund has reduced from £19,200 to £17,300 following the repayment of a
£2,000 historical loan from the Bells Fund. It is anticipated that much of this fund will be used, In combination
with the Limmer Legacy Fund, on improvements to All Saints Church. The Bells Fund, for work to the bells and
bell ringing facilities of All Saints Church stands at £3,20012024 - £1,3001. The Churchyard Fund for the
upkeep of specific graves in the churchyard. stands at £8,30012024- £8,300).
Looking oheod to 2026
We enter 2026 with a small projected deficit which we hope and pray will be covered by increased giving from
across the congregation. Much of the increased giving in recent years has come from a relatively small
number of households and our prayer for this year is to see a broader spread as we focus on our use of the
talents and money God has given us.
We hope to finalise and obtain further approvals for the refurbishment and proposed developments at All
Saints Church so that the work can proceed shortly thereafter. We will then start to focus on the options for
the redevelopment of Keedwell Church using the funds provided from the sale of Church House
Safeguardlng
Safeguarding remains a priority for the Church of England nationally and there is much good practice to
commend locally. The PCC continues to give significant time and attention to this vital area of ministry and
80vernance. We have embraced the diocesan 'dashboard' system, which facilitates monitoring of progress
a8ainst requirements,. and safeguarding remains a standing item on the PCC'S agenda.
AII PCC members are required to have valid DBS certificates and to complete the Basic, Foundation and
Domestic Abuse diocesan training modules. For those leading particular activities, leadership-level trainin8
has been completed where necessary under our Safer Recruitment 8uidelines.
We remain committed to developing a culture where worshippers, volunteers and visitors in our church are
affirmed, equipped and protected from harm to the best of our ability - a reflection of the care God has for all
his children. We are hugely grateful to Gill Miles for the diligent way in which she undertakes the role of
Parish Safe8uardin8 Officer.
We confirm that there have been no safeguarding incident5 reported under the Safeguardin8 and Clergv
Discipline Measure during 2025.
Assoclated trusts
The PCC is represented on two independent trusts which are registered with the Charity Commission:
The Long Ashton Churchyard and War Memorial Trust: The Rector (ex officio) NB.. the trustees agreed
during 2025 that the Churchyard element of the Trust would be wound up and the relotively smoll
amount of remoiningfunds disbursed on a churchyord interpretution project. The Trust will therefore
in futurefocus solely on the upkeep of the Villoge Wor Memorial.
The Long Ashton Parochial Charity, with responsibility primarily for care of the Almshouses.. The
Rector and Church Wardens lex officio).

Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities
The PCC, as trustees, are responsible for preparing the Trustees, Report and the financial statements in

Independent Examiner's Report to the Parochial Church Council of All Saints Long Ashlon
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025, which a￿ Set out in the financial
statements for 2025.
Respective responsibllities of trusteos and exarniner
The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 14412) of
the Charities Act 2011 Ithe 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
Commissioner (under secllon 145{5llbl of the Charities Act 2011 }',
stale whether partlcular matters have come lo my attenlion.
Basls of Independent Examiner's Statement
My examination was carried out in accordanc8 with the General Dir8Ctlons given by the Charlty
Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a
comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosure$ in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustèes
concerning any such matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provSde all the evldence that would be required in an audit, and
consequently no opinion is given as lo whether the accounts offer a 'tru8 and fair view, and my opinion
is limited lo those matters set out Sn the next statement.
Independent Examlnor's Statement
I have completed my examination. I confiTh that no material matters have comé to my attenllon Sn
connecllon with the examination which gives me cause lo believe that In, any material respect..
the accounling records were not kept in accordance with seclSon 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 R8POrtsl Regulations 2008
other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'lrue and falr. vlew which is not a
matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other mallers in connection with the examination lo
which atlentlon should b6 drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.
