Christ Church Cheylesmore

2 April 2026

Christ Church Annual Report for 2025 The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Christ Church Cheylesmore, Coventry , operating within the Diocese of Coventry, is a registered charity number 1172607. Our mission statement is:

Worshipping God : Bringing us into a more intimate relationship with Christ; Making Disciples : Raising up passionate disciples for Christ; and Transforming Communities: Combatting loneliness, isolation, and the stress of modern life by creating Christ-centred communities. and

To serve our community by supporting well-being in a welcoming environment.

Worshipping God

To bring the congregation closer together, the seating for services was brought forward using the area in front of the pews. Seating is mainly by chairs with the remaining choir stalls under the pulpit completing the semi-circle. Two large monitors were mounted on the front pillars and a new configuration of sound and video equipment installed. This has made an enormous improvement to the feeling of togetherness and singing. A huge thank you to those who worked through many technical issues to make this work.

Online streaming of our services continues as does the monthly Holy Communion services at Victoria Manor Care Home.

Making Disciples

Midweek bible studies have returned with the same sessions offered on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday evenings. These have been well attended with 14 persons regularly registered. Studied were the books of Ezra, Esther, Proverbs and Revelation.

Encouragingly, the number of children attending Sunday Club has risen – some weeks there were as many as 9 children in our group. The lessons are based on stories from the bible and then reflecting using Lego. This has proven popular. Youth group on Sunday evenings has also seen a rise in numbers, sometimes seeing as many as 9. We collected shoeboxes again this year, and focused our studies on the book of Exodus.

We held our third church weekend away at Pioneer Camp in Shropshire with 24 persons attending. It was a fun filled time of relaxation, activities, worship and simply having time to be together. Teaching was focused on tracing the Holy Spirit through the Old Testament.

The community of Fishers mentors and teachers, now joined by staff from Holy Trinity Coventry and St.

James Styvechale, have continued to meet regularly for prayer and development of the

spiritual patterns. Progress on integrating Fishers with a diocesan scheme awaits our new Bishop Sophie to discern discipleship development strategy for the diocese. We remain hopeful this will come to pass eventually.

Transforming Communities

Noah’s Ark continues to be oversubscribed most weeks and offers an opportunity for a diverse community of parents and child carers to gather in a safe and relaxing place to interact with children and adults alike. The declining number of volunteer staff is concerning.

The Bridge Café ran for the first time in 2025. Our guests were the residents of Victoria Manor (dementia) Care Home and volunteer staff included clients of Murray Lodge rehabilitation centre. It gave care residents a trip out with their families, and Murray Lodge clients the opportunity to contribute to the community and gain safeguarding and hygiene training. Required were long discussions with the diocesan safeguarding team and repeated training sessions, but we eventually hosted the event, which was well received. We hope to run this again.

Mikron Theatre staged a performance of Operation Beach Hut in the back gardens. This attracted 60 persons, many who are fans of this theatre company. The performance was BSL translated and attracted several from the Deaf Church. It was wonderfully entertaining and we hope to establish this as a regular fixture here.

The annual Christmas Tree Festival ran again and was well attended. Each tree was sponsored and refreshments were served to create a joyful celebration of the season.

ECO Group

Christ Church ECO group continued to work toward carbon-zero and A Rocha Silver award. Towards carbon-zero, an energy audit of the site was commissioned that suggested the replacement of the remaining fluorescent and incandescent lights to be replaced with LED equivalents. A quote of £8500 was received and a grant from the Net-Zero fund from the diocese was awarded to Christ Church. Work was scheduled for 2026.

Efforts to change the remaining single pane windows failed to win approval from the Registrar as planning approval was deemed necessary. This effort has been suspended and will be reconsidered as part of the wider regeneration of the site.

Two of our members attended Carbon Literacy Training and have taken on new initiatives. Plans include to change our bank to a more carbon friendly bank, and increasing biodiversity onsite.

One step towards A Rocha Silver has been the establishment of a Land Management Plan. The grounds have been zoned and a survey done on the current state of use and biodiversity.

From our Registers

Funerals of significant members of Christ Church included Margaret Wright, Sylvia Shaler, Peter Dolby, Pauline Maton, and Keith Gale.

Governance and the Parochial Church Council

The PCC met 8 times in 2025 and comprised of:

Fabric

The reconfiguration of our worship space and the changes this entailed for sound and video was a major effort but was well received. The nave now can be configured for use for 50 or less at the front with the benefit of sound and monitors, or using the pews for up to 400 persons using the original sound system.

The Lodge suffered abuse and neglect by the previous tenants and needed significant cleaning and repair. The loss of rental for 10 months, cost of repairs and professional cleaning, and then volunteer cleaning was very significant. We took the opportunity to install a patio to the back garden to protect the extension from rain water coming from the sloped garden.

With the appointment of our new Quinquennial Architect,

Matthew Vaughan, we commissioned a quinquennial inspection and an updated asbestos survey. The asbestos survey showed no urgent repairs but the QI identified £1.4 million of repairs. A roofing engineer confirmed that the roof to the church is at ‘end of life’ and needs urgent replacement at an expected cost to exceed £500k. The health of safety implications of the asbestos on the walls of the church becoming wet is a constant and serious worry for the PCC. Historic England were informed of the condition of the roof and the risks it posed, and agree to place Christ Church on the Heritage-At-Risk register. Discussions with the diocese and architect are ongoing.

As mentioned above, the faculty application to replace the windows facing Frankpledge Road faculty failed due the lack of planning consultation. This project has been suspended but will be included in any large renovation plans for the site. A vision statement has been drawn up as a first step toward funding grants and professional land and site assessments.

A new requirement on Christ Church will be compliance with the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, or Martyn’s Law, that mandates that organizations responsible for certain premises and events must implement security measures to reduce the risk of harm, with the Security Industry Authority (SIA) overseeing compliance. Initial work to comply has identified that our front door presents an issue to the security of the hall, as well as to fire safety. We are seeking to rectify this.

Safeguarding

Our safeguarding representative on the PCC is Pam Price and our Parish Safeguarding Officer is Clare Gale who has reports to the PCC on safeguarding status regularly and maintains the Safeguarding Dashboard. Clare Gale was appointed in January 2025. The PCC are not aware of any major incidents that require reporting to the Charity Commission.

Treasurer’s Report

1. Reserves Policy

The PCC set a Reserves Policy in 2020, setting the level as equivalent to:

In 2025 this would have set the reserve at £21,000, however given anticipated increases in expenditure and reductions in income, we considered it prudent to monitor our finances against a reserve set at £27,000. By and large we maintained a level above this reserve, dropping slightly below in some months due to delayed submissions for Gift Aid claims.

2. Challenges

In recent years we have experienced reduced membership, which combined with the increased cost of living for some members has negatively impacted on our income from voluntary giving (down c£8,000). In addition, C4 rentals were slightly down (c£1,000). Expenditure increased by c£14,000. The significant expenditure increases were: c£6,000 to reinstate the Lodge; c£4,200 increase in the Tithe (£1,000 of which was an advanced payment for 2026); c£2,300 increase in Parish Share; and c£1,100 in office costs, mainly equipment. Some of this increased expenditure was offset by savings elsewhere, including contributions from the previous tenants, but the circumstances have reduced our funds by £11,225. Fortunately, we were blessed with a good year in 2024 that has helped to cushion the impact this year.

3. Summary

Overall, 2025 was a financially challenging year. As we reset and enter 2026 we have offered a reduced Parish Share on the understanding that if our circumstances allow we will raise the pledge. We give thanks for the support we receive and what has been achieved this year given the circumstances. I thank the members of the finance team for their careful monitoring of funds. The team aims to meet monthly with Arthur and consists of Jenny Scragg (administrator), Sarah Stringer (Accountant) and myself (Tony Price) as Treasurer and designated Gift Aid Claimant.

Conclusion

Christ Church continues to deliver against its mission statement in spite of declining numbers and decreasing finances. We continue to see God at work in our midst and so continue in faith.

Independent examiner’s report to the PCC of Christ Church, Cheylesmore

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 which are set out on pages 4 to 13.

Respective responsibilities of the PCC and the examiner

The PCC consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 considering any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the PCC concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention:
