STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The PCC is a body corporate (PCC Powers Measure 1956, Church Representation Rules 2022). Members of the PCC are appointed in accordance with the Church Representation Rules. The clergy and Churchwardens are ex-officio, and the remaining members are elected. All members are Trustees. PCC members are responsible for all matters to do with governance and finance.
The PCC Safeguarding procedures are fully compliant with Diocesan policy. DBS checks are completed for all PCC members, and they are also required to complete online Safeguarding training courses, Basic and Foundation. The Parish Safeguarding Officer, Jennifer Rowland stood down in April 2025, Revd Sue McWhinney acted as Parish Safeguarding Officer during the remainder of 2025.
The PCC has a Parish Guard Insurance Policy with the Ecclesiastical Insurance Office plc.
RESERVES POLICY
Accumulated funds are held in ‘reserve’ to meet future expenditure. Reserve funds fall into three categories:
General Reserve
Funds held in the general reserve account will be used to meet regular future expenditure as and when required. The PCC may also choose to deploy general reserve funds on individual goods or services, consistent with core objectives, at its own discretion. The PCC aims to maintain a balance on General Reserve of no less than six months regular expenditure.
Designated reserves
The PCC may choose to set aside a sum of money to be used for a specific future purpose. Such funds will be held independently from General Reserves. Designated funds are maintained for Bells and Music. Despite the designation the PCC may decide to use the funds for other purposes.
PCC Annual Report for 2025
Restricted reserves
Funds received from donors, often by way of bequest, may be given on the basis that they be used for a specific purpose. Such restrictions are binding on the PCC and the associated funds must be held separately from General and Designated funds and used solely for the purpose intended by the donor. The PCC may also choose to allocate money to a Restricted fund, subject to the same limitations as to use. Restricted funds are maintained for Church Fabric, the Organ and the Churchyard.
Reserve funds are held in Bank current accounts with additional amounts held in the Church of England Deposit Fund.
OTHER POLICIES
Other policies in place cover Health and Safety, Conflict of Interest, and Risk Management and these are available on application.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
7 meetings of the PCC were held and the average attendance was 8 members.
CHURCH ATTENDANCE
The usual attendance at main Sunday services was 24 adults (24 in 2024) and 1 child. Numbers are considerably more for special seasonal services at Christmas, Easter, Harvest, and Remembrance.
AIMS AND PURPOSES, ACHIEVEMENTS, THANKS, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND REVIEW OF THE YEAR
The primary aim of the PCC is to promote in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social, and ecumenical, according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The PCC is also responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of St Michael’s Church, which is grade 1 listed, and the grounds, and the good management of the church finances.
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church, and for visitors to find a place of prayerfulness and peace, so the church continues to be open from 9am to dusk every day, and services are designed to be inclusive for people of all denominations and none. Several new people have joined the regular congregation, though sadly a number of parishioners have died, and some have been less able to come due to illness, so our usual Sunday attendance has not risen. Special services were held at key times of the year: Ash Wednesday, Mothering Sunday, Easter, Harvest, Remembrance, Christmas, including the Christingle and school Nativity, and we have had bumper numbers attending, especially at Easter and Christmas. A highlight of the year was the Confirmation of a candidate by Bishop Anna in March. We also continue to offer prayer resources and a quiet space for members of the community and visitors in the Lady Chapel, and we are a collection point for Skipton Food Bank. The Vicarage Home Group has continued to meet most weeks, discussing issues of life and faith. Building on the success of previous years the fourth annual Art in the Dale exhibition took place in June, with a wide range of local artists exhibiting and good conversations amongst visitors. We endeavour to offer music and arts events that will bring people together and enrich the life of the Dale. Concerts have included an evening of organ and accordion music in June, the Voices of Craven summer concert in July, and a folk concert in October. The Good Friday ‘Walk in the Dale’ was well supported with new participants this year, leading to a wildflower walk in June, and the Safari Supper in September was a huge success, with over 80 participants. The church is also involved in outreach through the Malham Show, community and environmental events, pastoral visiting, and articles in the Parish Magazine.
Revd Sue takes regular assemblies in Kirkby-in-Malhamdale primary school and hosts visits for the school to do heritage projects and to rehearse for their Nativity in church. The Open the Book team continues to visit the school regularly and their visits are much enjoyed by the children.
Revd Sue supports Revd Andrew Steer by taking services at Coniston Cold and Gargrave, including weddings and funerals, and supports the deanery in her role as Deanery Secretary. She continues to be involved with the MuslimChristian Women’s Group with a residential each September and day visits, and the Leeds City of Sanctuary Maternity Stream, who came again to make Christingles for the local children in December. Visitor ministry continues to be a big part of the role of the church and Revd Sue’s ministry, 17,000 people being recorded crossing the threshold during 2025; this includes those attending services, concerts, to clean and maintain church and to do the flowers, but it reflects a significant number of visitors, including those interested in the heritage of the church, and those looking for a quiet place to pray. We continue to serve the community with a well-stocked card stall, second-hand books for sale, locally grown plants, and in being a collection point for donations to Skipton Food bank.
PCC Annual Report for 2025
There were 5 weddings, 2 memorial services, one funeral, one burial of ashes, and 3 baptisms during the year. The main Sunday service is Sung Eucharist, with some variety on first Sundays of the month (an 8.30am BCP Communion and a 10am Family Service) and there was one service of Choral Evensong during 2025 with thanks to a visiting choir which was very much appreciated.
Huge thanks are due to all those who support the ministry and mission of St Michael’s: the Wardens, organists (Margaret, Lawrence, and Adrian), sides people, bellringers, fabric group, grass cutting team, flower arrangers, and all those who help with cleaning and maintenance of the church and grounds so that it is a welcoming and wellcared for space for visitors and locals alike. We are also most thankful to all those whose regular giving and fundraising has enabled us to pay our way, for those who have given freely of their time to serve on the PCC, and the finance team: Max (Treasurer) and Ali (book-keeper). It has been a particular sadness that Ted Ellis became ill during the year and had to step down from his role as Chair of the Fabric Group. He has been the driving force behind all the work to care for and maintain the church building and grounds for many years, and his thoughtful preparation and skill in overseeing the works will be much missed.
Revd Canon Sue McWhinney (Associate Priest).
SAFEGUARDING
There are no Safeguarding issues to report, and the diocesan Safeguarding Policy was adopted again in March. Please see the section on Safeguarding under ‘Structure Governance and Management’ in the Annual Report. Jennifer Rowlands of Gargrave stepped down from the role of Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO) in April, so Revd Sue covered the role for the rest of the year.
FINANCE
I am pleased to present the financial statements of the PCC of Kirkby Malham for the year ended 31 December 2025. The accounts have been prepared on an accruals basis in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006.
Overall, 2025 was a financially stable year. Although total income was lower than in 2024, we kept a close rein on core costs, and the year ended broadly in balance — with a very small net shortfall of just £8 across all funds combined. Our total fund balances stand at £64,405 at year end, essentially unchanged from the £64,413 we held at the start of the year.
Income — £47,466 (2024: £55,899)
Total income was £8,433 lower than in 2024. The main reasons for this are set out below.
Voluntary income totalled £25,739 (2024: £33,770). Planned giving was slightly higher at £11,840 (2024: £11,463), which is very encouraging. Collections at services fell to £4,478 from £8,440 — this appears to reflect a continuing trend rather than any single cause and is something the PCC will wish to monitor going forward.
On Gift Aid, it is most meaningful to look at cash received and the year-end accrual together. In 2024, a backlog arose in submitting Gift Aid claims, which meant that £4,300 was sitting as accrued income at year end. That issue was resolved in early 2025, and we have since been able to submit a claim each month. As a result, the accrued balance at the end of 2025 has reduced to £196, with £4,445 received in cash during the year — giving a combined Gift Aid total for 2025 of £4,641 (2024 combined: £5,562). The year-on-year difference is therefore much smaller than the headline figures suggest, and the improvement in our claiming process is a genuinely positive development.
Activities for Generating Funds came to £13,589 (2024: £13,166) — a pleasing increase of £423. A more detailed analysis of individual activities, including a comparison with 2024 and a view on net contribution, is set out in the section below.
Investment Income was £4,100 (2024: £4,339), comprising Smithy rental income of £2,000 and interest on our CCLA investment accounts of £2,100.
Church Fee Income (weddings, funerals, etc.) was £3,646 (2024: £4,624).

12024 Art in the Dale income combines Artist Donations (£270) and Event Income (£243).
A few observations are worth drawing out:
The Parish Magazine moved from a net surplus of £1,734 in 2024 to a broadly break-even position in 2025, with a small deficit of £30. Income was £3,708 (2024: £4,889), reflecting a reduction in the number of advertisers. Reported costs of £4,528 included £790 relating to 2024 issues; adjusting for this, underlying 2025 costs were £3,738 (2024: £3,155), still reflecting increased printing costs following the closure of our previous supplier. While the position is significantly stronger than initially reported, the PCC may still wish to review the Magazine’s pricing and cost structure over time. It should also be noted that the timing of advertising income and payments is not fully aligned to publication periods, so some income or costs may relate to different financial years.
Art in the Dale was a standout success, delivering a net surplus of £1,357 against very modest costs — a dramatic improvement on 2024 (net £214). The event has clearly grown in scale and ambition, and this is a very positive development.
The Safari Supper made a welcome return, generating £2,089. After taking account of event-related costs, including the provision of wine, it delivered a strong net contribution. Thanks are due to all those who hosted, prepared, and served food so generously without charge — their contribution significantly enhanced the success of the evening.
Musical Evenings remained a very positive activity, generating a net contribution of £1,099. While directly attributable costs were modest, income was strengthened by generous support from performers and attendees, including donations received for refreshments.
The Bookstall continues to be a reliable and low-cost contributor, with a net surplus of £1,530.
The 200 Club contributed £1,266 to restricted funds (2024: £3,059). The reduction reflects the level of participation and prize payouts during the year.
Overall, the net contribution from fundraising activities fell from £8,993 in 2024 to £7,456 in 2025. This reduction is driven primarily by the reduced contribution from the Parish Magazine and, to a lesser extent, higher event-related costs. However, the diversity of our fundraising programme remains a real strength, and the strong performance of Art in the Dale, the Safari Supper, and Musical Evenings are all grounds for encouragement.
Expenditure — £47,473 (2024: £44,840)
Total expenditure was £2,633 higher than in 2024.
Diocesan Parish Share — as in previous years, our contribution was set at a level that reflects what we can sustain as a parish. We paid and accrued £22,000 in 2025 (2024: £22,213), in both cases directed towards covering the cost of a house of duty priest. The full share requested by the Diocese was £26,426, leaving £4,426 unpaid at year end. The PCC will continue to keep this under review as our financial position develops.
PCC Annual Report for 2025
Church running costs totalled £17,792 (2024: £17,580), broadly similar to last year overall. One item worth noting is Heat & Light, which at £5,345 is considerably higher than the £1,625 recorded in 2024. This reflects a previous billing problem with our energy supplier, whereby invoices were not being raised correctly due to a mix-up between our account and that of the Parish Hall. Since switching suppliers in late 2024 and moving to a correctly administered account, we have been receiving reliable invoices, and the 2025 figure is likely to be a more accurate reflection of our true energy costs — the 2024 figure was almost certainly understated. Insurance was £5,490, Church maintenance £5,319, Administration £828, Upkeep of services £655, and Bells maintenance £156.
Clergy and staffing costs were minimal at £596 (2024: £605).
Fund Balances at Year End
At 31 December 2025, the PCC held total funds of £64,405 (2024: £64,413), made up as follows:
Unrestricted Funds — £41,698
-
General Fund: £17,150
-
Reserve Fund: £21,751
-
Bells Fund: £1,078
-
Music Fund: £1,719
Restricted Funds — £22,708
-
Fabric Fund: £20,773
-
Organ Fund: £1,764
-
Churchyard Fund: £170
These funds are held in CCLA investment accounts (£48,509), bank current accounts (£20,080), and cash in hand (£729), net of accruals.
Looking Ahead
While we end the year in a financially stable position, it would be unwise to be complacent. Voluntary income has been declining, and we are conscious that regular attendance at services has been falling. Planned giving is the bedrock of our finances, and fewer regular worshippers means that this income stream faces real pressure in the years ahead. The PCC will be giving serious thought to how we can grow our income — whether through new forms of giving, broadening our fundraising programme, developing community engagement, or exploring other opportunities — and we would warmly welcome ideas and input from the congregation as we think this through together.
Finally, and most importantly, our heartfelt thanks go to everyone who supports this church — not only through their giving, but through the extraordinary amount of time, energy, and care they give freely and willingly. Whether it is organising events, maintaining the building, leading worship, producing the Magazine, baking cakes, or simply being present and encouraging others — this church depends on its people far more than on its finances. That nonfinancial contribution is immeasurable, and it is what makes Kirkby Malham the community it is. Thank you. Max Thienel- Treasurer
CHURCH FABRIC
1.Quinquennial Fabric Inspection and Report
The completed 2025 Quinquennial Report has been received (based on a draft from 2024) and we have started to schedule work. The cost of work recommended is around £18,700 spread over 5 years.
2.Water ingress
Water ingress above the South Aisle continues to occur in some wind conditions. Plans are in place for further StormDry application to South Aisle. There have been occasional other isolated non-recurring events.
There has been some water ingress from the tower roof. There is no obvious defect. Plans for further inspection. Water penetration in 2024 had affected plaster above the North Aisle. Strong winds and rain from the Northeast probably caused this. Stormdry application to The North Aisle has been completed, and the heating is maintained at 10 degrees or above to conserve the fabric of the building. There has been no further deterioration in the plaster.
3.Solar Panels and Heat Pump
Work on a case for installing a ground source heat pump and solar panels to replace the current boilers has continued slowly. An initial quote has been obtained, and the feasibility of a grid connection needs to be confirmed.
