The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC at Braunston has the responsibility of co-operating with the Team Rector to promote, in this ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church – pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It also has the responsibility of maintaining the fabric of the church. The PCC accepts the House of Bishops’ safeguarding guidance, both policies and practice, and it publishes and regularly reviews its Safeguarding Policy. The Mission Statement agreed by the PCC states that: “We are here to love and serve God within our community and in the world.” ## **MEMBERSHIP** Members of the PCC are either ex officio or elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting in accordance with the Church Representation Rules.

As well as acting on a broad range of issues affecting the church and the wider community, the PCC received regular Treasurer’s reports and reports on the church’s fabric as well as reports from representatives of the Deanery Synod and Friends of All Saints’ Church. Attendance at meetings throughout the year averaged 90%. Throughout the year, the PCC has had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. ## **CHURCH SERVICES AND ATTENDANCE** The pattern of services remained the same. All Saints would host the 1[st] and 3[rd] service of the month and Ashby the 2[nd] and Welton the 4[th] . The 5[th] Sundays were be arranged separately. The main service on the third Sunday is a family service. On the third Sunday a 9.00 am Book of Common Prayer communion continues. This cycles between the three churches. Evening prayer is now held at Ashby on Tuesdays, Morning Prayer at Welton on Wednesdays and a Celtic Morning Prayer at Braunston on Saturdays, The Eucharist can now be received in both kinds using the common cup or by intinction by the priest. Attendance at Braunston At All Saints Braunston: There were 13 Sunday Holy communion services (attendance averaging 38 adults and 4 children (excluding special services eg. Baptisms from average)), and 4 Book of Common prayer communion services (attendance averaging 5 ). There were 11 All Age Sunday morning services. (attendance averaging 36, and 4 children (again excluding baptisms etc)) There was I confirmation during the year. There waw 1 wedding, and there were 7 funerals. There were 5 interments of ashes. There was 1 memorial service. Communion (by extension) has been held at Astley Hall 9 times during the year. Each church in the benefice celebrated Harvest, Remembrance and Christmas individually. At Christmas there were a carol service, Crib service Midnight Mass and Morning Prayer on Christmas Day. ## **REVIEW OF THE YEAR** There has been a gradual growth in the church this year and the introduction of new opportunities to worship. The average attendance quoted for last year did not exclude Baptisms and other special services) Tiny Treasures is thriving. Several events were held including a Last Night of the Proms and a Christmas extravaganza with the Coventry Brass Band. There was a Sunday Service at the marina on the weekend of the Historic Boat show. The local school held an Easter service in the church, as well as attending Christingle. ## Mission In line with the expresses view at the last APCM the PCC has planned a balanced budget. This means that 10% of income has not been set aside for charitable giving, nor has the full Parish share to the diocese been paid. The church’s mission to children and young people is acknowledged as very important and a continuous effort has been made to encourage children and families to become part of Braunston’s regular congregation. Tiny Treasures is continuing to meet regularly. The Rector regularly goes into Braunston School. The 2 house study groups have also continued. ## Presence in the Village The Church website and its quality is widely recognised. The website being maintained and kept up to date by Kevin Young from Welton. The site contains up to date information and includes generic email addresses for all the main contacts. The Church also has a Facebook page which is an increasing source of communication for all. The church continues to co-produce the Braunston Village News with the Parish Council. Another initiative which remains popular is the opportunity for individuals to pay to have the church floodlit on a particular date, with many villagers choosing to mark special occasions in this way. This is done on an ad hoc basis but also through “Friends of All Saints”, and is an opportunity for all those who do not necessarily attend the church on a regular basis to contribute to its upkeep. An additional incentive is the ability to view the floodlit church on the worldwide web. The Community Larder is still operating from the church. The school filled the church for a Christingle service. ## Worship This has been discussed earlier. ## Maintenance The PCC is very grateful for the ongoing support of Friends of All Saints, which has helped finance some of the maintenance work and for the work of Pat Milner and other volunteers in maintaining the building. ......................................................... ## **All Saints Church, Braunston** ## **Financial Statements to 31[st] December 2025** ## **Statements of Financial Activities** ||**Unrestricted**

**0.00**| ## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of All Saints Church, Braunston.** I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 31/12/2025. ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** The church’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The church’s trustees 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: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act); - to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** 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 consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The church’s trustees 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: • examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act); • to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and • to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** 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 consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements • to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and • to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
