Objectives and Activities

Aims and Objectives

'Promoting in the ecclesiastical parish of Bedworth the whole mission of the Church'.

Public Benefit

The charity acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or 'aims' for the public benefit. Details of how the charity has achieved this are detailed below. The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Office and Licensed Holders

The PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ALL SAINTS, BEDWORTH is a registered Charity number 1164978, and has three churches: All Saints’ which is situated on High Street, Bedworth and St. Andrew’s which is situated on Smorrall Lane, Bedworth and Lantern Church located in several places across Bedworth.

Phone number is 024 7610 2140 and email office@bedworthparish.org. The parish is part of the Diocese of Coventry within the Church of England.

Achievements and Performance

Annual Report

The Parochial Church Council fulfils its role by achieving the whole mission of the Church in actively engaging with individuals, statutory, voluntary and faith organisations within the parish and in the wider world. We do this because we seek to fulfil our commitment to the commission we have received from Christ to spread the good news of the Gospel; alongside practical care, education and pastoral support for anyone who lives within the parish.

This year has been another active year for the parish. Services and ministries at All Saints’ Church have continued to flourish. The 9am service has remained steady in attendance numbers whilst the main 11am service has continued to attract new people. The ‘This Time Tomorrow’ slot has seen many members of the Church community share their lives through an interview at the front of Church. It has helped to raise the profile of many people as they have shared a small part of their lives with the wider Church and the importance of faith in everyday life.

The 11am service has continued with the monthly Altogether services on the first Sunday of the month. A huge thank you to everyone who has helped to prepare and serve food at these services. We have enjoyed lots of baptisms this year and it has been a delight to hear people's stories and journeys of faith.

The 2pm service ‘Word Alive’ with worship in the African Anglican tradition has continued to bring diversity and new members to All Saints. We are disappointed that Rev Ugo Okeke has had to stand back from ministry whilst he goes through the steps required to move formally from the Nigerian Church to the Church of England.

Annual Report - continued

St Andrew’s congregation has remained steady through the first half of the year. Enquiries are ongoing as to the feasibility of rebuilding St Andrew’s church or moving to a new location. Forest church has seen on average 20 people per month gather to explore God through His creation. In September the Lantern Church team led by Rev Paul Foster, joined the St. Andrew’s congregation with the aim of growing the mission and ministry of the church.

Alpha has run throughout the year at All Saints' Church and continues to help many people explore their faith. Approximately half the people who have attended have done so as preparation for baptism or marriage. Digging Deeper takes place every second Sunday and attracts a variety of guest speakers who inspire many with their wisdom and their understanding of the Holy Spirit and ministry in the power of the Holy Spirit. Many thanks to Mary Morris and her team for organising these services, and to Jet Jones who has taken on an oversight role following Mary’s ordination and her move to serve her curacy in Foleshill.

All Saints’ Church and St. Andrew’s have welcomed multiple youth events taking place every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday after school. These activities have been led by Josh Harrison (Senior Youth Pastor) and our youth team staff. These weekly activities continue to attract many young people into our churches. Wider than our parish the funding from the Nicholas Chamberlaine Trust has allowed new youth work to take place at St. Giles, Exhall and St James, Bulkington.

Nicola Ugochukwu (Growing Faith Families worker) has been joined by Ann-Marie Cooper and Kay Orton this year. This follows a very generous grant from the Nicholas Chamberlaine School Foundation. This has allowed new expressions of church to start at The Canons and at All Saints School. All three GFFWs spend time in school supporting and enriching the Christian ethos and vision of our church schools.

The midweek service at All Saints serves a regular group of worshippers who enjoy the more relaxed style of this service. Many choose to stay on for the weekly lunch organised originally by North Warwickshire Edible Links and now run from All Saints’ Church.

Treasure Tots continues to draw in parents, carers and their young children for weekly fun, food, fellowship and song. All appreciate the friendships that Nicola and her volunteers have created in this activity.

Teapots was paused for much of 2025 but towards the end of the year has started back up again. The Friday morning Community Café at All Saints continues to thrive. It gained new leadership in the Autumn with Oma Madumere now employed to run this café. The café and wrap around pastoral care are aimed at those struggling with isolation and the cost-of-living crisis but it proves popular with a wide range of people. A huge thank you to the two teams that make these activities such a success.

The parish has continued to encourage individuals from both congregations to make their faith impact across the parish of Bedworth. Parishioners' individual mission inputs involve active participation in hospital chaplaincy and prison fellowship, serving school governors in our three church schools, committee and practical roles in local charities, including the Nicholas Chamberlaine Trust and local Food banks. PCC coordinated activity has blended evangelistic aims alongside social impacts and this is manifested in a range of activities.

We continue to work closely with our church schools. With the expansion of the staff team, each school has a dedicated team working with the school. As a congregation we have taken new strides in our safeguarding awareness in line with the Church’s national policy developments. We are determined to make All Saints and St. Andrews even safer places for both children and adults; and gratefully recognise the work that our safeguarding team, led by Ruth Ison, has played in making great developments in how we deliver safeguarding training and practice.

Sadly, the roof of St. Andrew’s Church was made of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) and as a result was required to close for services and public activities. Following further surveys and assessments it has been decided that the building is not financially viable. Working with the diocese Godfrey Payton has been approached to support the parish in drawing up possible options for the future of ministry in the Bedworth Heath Area.

Lantern Church has continued to grow with a wide range of ministries making a real difference to people’s lives. The Pine Tree community has been a focus for one of the expressions of church with services, warm hub and community meals all part of strategy to grow. It was lovely to see several members from the Pine Tree service being baptised this year. The Food Boxes has been an initiative trialled through St Michael’s that sees families, who don’t have anything to eat, receive food and instructions to cook a filling and nutritious meal. The church planted into St Michael’s has been very popular with families who attend the school and regularly sees around 75 people attending each week.

Pastoral Care

Our Pastoral Care Team (PCT) brings prayer, practical support and discipleship to many in their own homes or settings as we are a parish that are far more than just a once a week service. The team continues with ten volunteers from All Saints’ and St. Andrew’s ensuring that Pastoral Care covers both churches. The team have supported people in a variety of ways:

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of All Saints’ Bedworth Trustees' Report (continued) for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

Annual Report - continued

• Taken Holy Communion services in care homes working ecumenically with other local churches. A worship team member will be part of the team providing music and community singing.

• The PCT are meeting with people for coffee on a regular basis and encouraging others to attend the Thursday morning Service at All

Saints’ church.

This year saw Mrs Kath Farmer step back from leading the ministry. We are so grateful to Mrs Kath Famer for her leadership and to have such a committed Pastoral Care Team to work with. We welcomed Angela Green into the leadership of the team and it has been great to see the team develop a new momentum and with new people joining the team.

Staff Team

This year has seen several new members of staff join the parish team. Funding for these positions has largely come from successful grant applications. Alongside clergy, the staff team has included:

Lantern Church

Safeguarding Report

You will be aware that safeguarding our children, young people and adults at risk in Bedworth Parish is a priority for the leadership team, the safeguarding team, the BPC Youth and Kids teams, and the Pastoral Care Team. We adhere to the diocesan and national policies and guidelines. We have complied with our duty under Section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016. All children’s workers and those visiting and working with vulnerable adults require clearance from the DBS and need to attend training and have regular supervision. We ensure that unless this clearance is completed, they cannot undertake this work. Our Safeguarding records are regularly updated, and we strive to put into place all the latest requisites as quickly as possible.

Every effort is being made to help our children’s workers and helpers, and those who work with adults in a pastoral context to understand the necessity and the rigours of our Safeguarding Policy. We continue to work on risk assessments and keep our policies up to date. It is essential that we all continue to be vigilant in all matters relating to safeguarding children and young people in Bedworth so that they may continue to grow in Christ in a safe environment.

Our current priorities are:

Basic Awareness, Foundation, Leadership, Domestic Abuse, Safer Recruitment and People, Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking.

Annual Report - continued

Mrs Ruth Ison continues to attend both St. Andrew’s and All Saints’ Churches, when possible, to build relationships with church members, to hear concerns, and offer support. Mrs Ruth Ison and Revd Dave Poultney meet regularly for supervision and to share ideas about implementing best practice across all volunteering roles, including at all points where church connects with the wider community. The office administrator has supported the parish by introducing the new guidelines for safer recruitment of volunteers, which includes applications forms, references and interviews. It has been a very busy year for Ruth our Parish Safeguarding Officer and we are very grateful to her for all she has done to keep our churches, services, events and activities safe.

Nuneaton Deanery Synod Report

This year, the deanery has met three times. Our Deanery Synod members are Dave Jones (until July 2025) and Ann-Marie Cooper, with two vacancies. As a deanery we have been focusing on implementing our Deanery Mission Plan. Our meetings this year have focused on the following: -

We have twenty-six parishes in Nuneaton Deanery and have several vacancies. For news about what goes on at Nuneaton Deanery and detailed minutes of all meetings, visit their website www.nuneaton-deanery.org.uk. The deanery welcomed a day visit from Rt Rev Sophie Jelley, Bishop of Coventry.

Fabric Report

St. Andrew’s Church

St Andrew’s Church is closed. It has not been possible to insure the building, and this poses a risk to the PCC. The building is used to store equipment needed for services and activities that now run in the community centre. No further work has been carried out on the building and in December an application was made to disconnect the building from the gas supply.

All Saints’ Church

This year has seen further Quinquennial Inspection items being completed including the repointing of stonework. Still to be completed are repairs to the organ loft turret which are due to be undertaken in 2026. A gift day was held for replacement of dated signage and replacement of exterior stained glass window protection. There have been further minor upgrades to the PA and Livestreaming system. The clock in the tower has stopped working and requires the purchase of a new clock mechanism. Service works carried out through the year included:

Financial Review

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs. This is based on the charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The Trustees’ aim has been to ensure that the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives, even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The PCC Trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily and have successfully met their objectives in the informed use of the resources at their disposal.

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of All Saints’ Bedworth Trustees' Report (continued) for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

The Trustees are governed by the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure (1956) as amended and Church Representation Rules contained in Schedule 3 to the Synodical Government Measure 1969 as amended.

Charity registration

The Charity is registered with the Charity Commission pursuant to the Charities Act 2011 from 23 December 2015; previously it was an ‘excepted’ charity under the Charities Act 2011.

Governance Structures

Due to the size and complexity of the parish, the PCC delegates a range of its responsibilities. The PCC has seven subcommittees with delegated authority to undertake specific areas of responsibility. The committees are as follows;

Each has terms of reference and are overseen by the PCC. The PCC meets five times throughout the year receiving reports and updates from the subcommittees along with the minutes of meetings.

Risk Assessment

The PCC Trustees actively review the major risks that the charity faces on a regular basis and are working to create adequate operational and financial reserves to cover risks by encouraging sacrificial giving and making parishioners aware of the financial wellbeing of the parish ministry. With outstanding and dedicated effort our bookkeeper and parish office administrator have continued to improve financial procedures providing the PCC with confidence in its financial situational analysis.

The parish has again faced financial challenges in the past 12 months with a forecast deficit that was largely reduced by reducing the parish's outgoing. Significant income has come from grant applications. Bodies that have awarded significant grants include the Nicholas Chamberlaine School Foundation, Strategic Mission and Ministry Investment Board, The National Lottery Community Fund, Benefact Trust and the Diocese of Coventry.

Careful consideration has been given to continue to reduce costs while not impairing the ministry of the parish, and the PCC believes that maintaining its quarterly and annual reviews of the controls over key financial systems will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that the new risk assessment system which mitigates risks by providing a model and training to parishioners is working well.

The trustees' report was approved by the board of trustees and signed on its behalf by:

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of All Saints’ Bedworth Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of All Saints’ Bedworth

for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of All Saints’ Bedworth (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of 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 the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

Since the Trust’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and contents 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.

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of All Saints’ Bedworth Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

1. General Information

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of All Saints’ Bedworth is an unincorporated charity registered with the Charity Commission, registered charity number 1164978. The principal address is All Saints’ Church, High Street, Bedworth, CV12 8NH.

2. Accounting Policies

2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)", Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities Act 2011.

The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cast convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the charity is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of Church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gathering of church members.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. The policies have been consistently applied in all years presented unless otherwise stated.

2.2. Financial Reporting Standard 102 - Reduced Disclosure Exemptions

The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":

2.3. Fund Accounting

Endowment funds are funds the capital of which must be maintained; only income arising from investment of the endowment may be used either as restricted or unrestricted funds depending upon the purpose for which the endowment was established.

Restricted Funds represent:

(a) Income from trusts or endowments which may be extended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust of the bequest, and

(b) Donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the charity for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The charity does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is appointed to individual funds on an average balance basis.

Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used for charity ordinary purposes.

2.4. Incoming Resources

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate are received. Grants and Legacies are accounted for when the charity is legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.

2.5. Resources Expended

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the charity. The diocesan quota or parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specially for Mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.

Page 11

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of All Saints’ Bedworth Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

2.6. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation

No value is placed on movable Church furnishings held by the Church wardens on special trust for the charity and which require a faculty for disposal since the charity consider this to be inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and movable Church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in SOFA and separately disclosed.

Equipment used within the Church premises is depreciated on a straight-line basis over 4 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.

2.7. Investments

Investments are valued at market value at 31 December.

2.8. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other shortterm highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.

2.9. Grants Payable without Performance Conditions

These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to a grant which remain in control of the charity.

2.10. Support Costs

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of the resources, e.g. allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capital, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
