Trustees Annual Re ort for 2025 p

Our aims and purposes

The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, Reverend Clive Jenkins (until his retirement), then continuing in:

What we planned to do to achieve our charitable objectives

When planning our activities for the year, our incumbent and the PCC have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and in particular, the specific guidance on ‘charities for the advancement of religion’.

The council has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, fully recognising its duty to have due regard to House of Bishops' guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.

For 2025 we discussed and planned the following objectives and activities to fulfil our aims:

Most importantly we seek to be:

What we achieved and how we affected beneficiaries’ lives

Attendance at worship

The church family welcomes visitors from within as well as outside the parish boundary. Visitors attend by personal choice and, it is our great pleasure to welcome anyone from all walks of life to take part in the life of the church. We contend that voluntary attendance to worship the Lord Jesus Christ is a major demonstration of the public benefit of our activities. We have welcomed new residents to the area and new worshipers to our church family.

We continued to hold Sunday services in both Kirdford with Plaistow and Wisborough Green parishes, under the leadership of Reverend Clive Jenkins until his retirement in May. Each service and parish has its own style. We encourage parishioners to visit each church and any service. Gradually parishioners from each parish are becoming more familiar with the alternative church buildings, style of worship and worshipers. To encourage the joint worship our ‘Together at 10’ services are continuing to be held on each 5[th] Sunday, alternating between church buildings. Parishioners of both parishes have been made very welcome, and this style of service is becoming more popular.

Since the retirement of Reverend Clive Jenkins and the completion of the United Benefice more services took the format of ‘Together at 10’ to ease the burden of retired clergy and our Licenced Lay Minister.

Our normal average weekly attendance is 40. Services are enhanced by the participation of the congregation lay members, by both music (organ, keyboard, guitar, singing) readings and prayer, for which we are very grateful for their continued service. There is a rota of parishioners who welcome the congregation at each service. Refreshments are provided at the end of services which encourages social interaction and strengthens the community.

The positive feedback from the free church members enhanced their enjoyment of the sessions and pleasure of meeting together ML

Since joining with Wisborough Green we have been able to combine and share resources. Our Licensed Lay Minister, Janice Taylor, has taken services and lead Lent and Advent courses for both parishes which have included the local free church. Once the interregnum started Janice has taken family services in both parishes, and recently assisted by our Authorised Lay Minister, Susan Weston. Reverend Michael Jackson, (a retired priest living in the parish) has taken many services and undertaken pastoral work within the parish. We continue to follow practices of emailing all parishioners in the community with details of services and events taking place. This being

our Mission Action Plan of inclusion to the wider community to encourage the deepening of faith for all ages. We continue to be welcomed into our village school to lead Assemblies; these visits have now been provided by our Authorised Lay Minister, Susan Weston. The very close link with the village school and headmaster is visible to the wider community when the school held harvest and Christmas services in church, which was full on both occasions.

We held a commemorative service to mark VJ Day in August. The Harvest services were well attended as was the Harvest supper. Remembrance Service was very well attended; the church being filled and included the local youth service groups present. The traditional Crib Service was attended by 83 adults plus 47 children; the traditional Carol service at Holy Trinity was attended by 62 adults and 10 children. Christmas Day service was also very well attended ably led by our LLM, Janice Taylor. Saturday morning prayer continues weekly. Compline services, instigated by a lay member of the congregation continues to be held regularly.

In the school holidays a morning of Messy Church has taken place. This is well attended by the wider community and is proving to be popular.

In the summer we held a service of remembrance and thanksgiving for lives of the departed. A change from holding this service on All Souls’ Day it attracted more attendees due to the brighter daytime. All those who may have been affected by the loss of a loved one were invited

Teaching, baptising and nurturing new and existing believers

In 2025 we hosted 1 wedding, 4 church funerals, 1 cremation conducted for parishioners, 1 memorial service, and 6 burials of ashes. The trend of holding a memorial service in the church after a cremation continues. This offers the family to welcome many local friends and parishioners into the church for the service, thereby opening up the opportunity for non-worshipers to be included in church life.

Our Lent course was held at the local free church Chapel with equal numbers of their members and our congregation attending. It was led by Janice Taylor (LLM) and the Chapel Community Pastor.

The Parish Magazine continues to be a source of information for the church activities and services, as well as local events being held by other organisations. The publication of 335 copies is distributed throughout all the villages. The regular Link newsletter is distributed weekly (emailed and printed) giving details of up-and-coming activities and services in both parishes.

The creation of a new and updated website for our Parish is a source of information and events; it is available to all, and the web address is publicised widely.

Evangelism and outreach

During 2025 support continued for vulnerable residents in both practical and mental ways.

Prayer stations have continued to be available along with a ‘Lord’s Prayer Trail’ in the churchyard. As these proved very popular, not just ‘Tranquil. Appreciated the Prayer with the church family but also with the wider community, we have Trail’ left the prayer trail up and to provide regular prayer focuses.

TS Weekly morning coffee sessions are welcomed by residents and supported led by both church members and residents.

We strongly believe we should be the church in the community as much as encouraging the community into the church, and in seeking, to become equipped and enabled to be ‘church’ amongst the villages.

Social events have been held to encourage parishioners of both parishes to become more familiar with those of the other parish, these include a Harvest Supper. Organised by the Friends of our churches, a VE-Day concert was held in May. It was extremely well attended by both parishioners and the wider community.

All parishioners were encouraged to attend the special Deanery celebrations recognising 950 years of Chichester Cathedral.

During the year the PCC held a workshop morning to review the Mission Action Plan. The purpose was to identify specific areas of outreach, community, worship, discipleship, events, school, families, resources and communication where the PCC members could be more effective. The outcome of this discussion session will form the basis under which the PCC acts in 2026 and onwards.

Provision of the church buildings for people to enjoy

Our churches continue to be appreciated by our parishioners and many others as a space where life events are celebrated with joy and thanksgiving. It “We were married in this is important to us that the church is available for private prayer not just to church (Holy Trinity) the church family but to the wider visiting community. Throughout the year 41 years ago – We are glad both churches were open every day during daylight hours for private prayer; the church is open to revisit” prayer requests had been added to the prayer boxes which were made known and dealt with by members of the prayer team. Visitors are welcome.

Many visitors remark on the sense of peacefulness and spirituality our churches provide. Other remarks received have included the sense of history within; that people of much earlier generations found life and presence there, and comments on the appreciation of the architectural beauty of the buildings and stain glass windows.

We have three Commonwealth War Graves which have been maintained during the year along with the continued upkeep of the churchyard. Extra effort has been made to keep the churchyard in good condition around the Prayer Trail, the Commonwealth War Graves and the conservation area. Much appreciation is for the volunteers who help to keep the churchyard tidy and orderly.

Spatial reordering of Holy Trinity and future projects

The plans for some reordering in Holy Trinity to install two toilets and better catering facilities, along with renewed heating and lighting have progressed. Fundraising in the previous years and legacies have gone some way to provide these, but there is still a long way to go. During the year small events have been held where the proceeds have been designated to this project.

The quinquennial inspections were carried out in 2024; reports received in 2025 and have indicated that there is urgent work required on the buildings.

Ongoing decisions made in faith, to adopt and encourage the Diocesan Strategy of re-imaging of ministry and to modernise our church buildings, point to a hopeful future but will require the continued spiritual and financial commitment from all of us to see it realised.

Provision of pastoral care and welfare for people living in the parish

In line with our desire to be the church out in the community, we seek to serve pastoral and welfare needs along with the many ‘good neighbour’ deeds that already exist in our villages. Our willing church family provide support in this vital ministry. Growth from outreach of the church has led to providing support in many ways for the local community. We are however aware that this does

‘I really appreciate the help that the church has provided during these dreadful times’ CS

not meet all the needs, so the PCC looked to increase the outreach support; our trained lay members facilitate this for the future.

Provision for Home Communion continues; at present this is carried out the Licensed Lay Minister with a view for growth in this area. A retired Priest in the Parish also takes home communion.

Of particular encouragement was this year’s Harvest Festival giving. The church donated the fresh produce to local residents, the other gifts were sent to Family Support Work (FSW). Donations at Christmas tide were overwhelming, hampers were distributed to families recognised as being in need via the FSW network.

“Your continued support is very much appreciated” Family Support Work

Because of the generosity of the church family and others, we were able to continue to provide food to support the vulnerable individuals and families throughout the year. We have been blessed with donations received specifically for this purpose. We do operate our own limited food bank for this as an addition to having ring-fenced funds for emergency use

Other charitable giving

We once again held our annual fundraiser for the specific purpose of supporting the community of Bobi in Uganda, enabling them to maintain the village water bore hole and well. Additional donations are used by the community to provide equipment for their schools and church.

The annual shoebox appeal saw many boxes filled and ready for distribution to Eastern European countries.

During the year, the PCC made donations to Historic Churches, The Children’s Society, our own Diocesan Family Support Work, The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal, the Ripple Effect charity, and the Diocesan Children’s May camp.

Safeguarding Incumbents Report

The issue of Safeguarding is taken very seriously by the Incumbent and PCC who hold the duty of care of all people in our community of faith, especially the young and vulnerable adults among us. To that end we:

Financial Review

Receipts (Note 3 to the Accounts).

The total amount received on unrestricted funds was £90,270 (2024 - £100,243) and on restricted funds £4,727 (2024 - £4,142)

The planned giving though the Parish Giving Scheme, envelopes and banker’s orders has decreased by 2.3% to £38,478 (2024 - £39,390). The Parish Giving Scheme provides reasonable stability for planned giving with several donors using the inflation tool, annually increasing their giving. The decrease is due to the demise and relocation of a few donors.

Sunday service collections (within ‘Loose cash collections) have decreased by 28.8% on 2024 collections, with the use of a contactless card donation unit at all services to counteract the demise of the use of cash. For 7 months of 2025 there were a reduced number of services held due to the interregnum and combined services in the recently formed united benefice.

No legacies were received in 2025. The PCC was also grateful for donations received to support the Pastoral care within the Parish and allocated to the Community Fund.

Fees received for weddings and funerals were lower at £1,774 (2024 - £5,001). Collections at funerals and memorial services tend to be gifted to a charity chosen by the family involved.

There was a decrease in Income from investments £14,099 (2024 - £14,376) held both by the PCC and managed by the Diocese on the PCC’s behalf.

Our annual fundraising Bring and Buy sale for the benefit of supporting the village of Bobi in Uganda raised £2,256 through sales and donations plus gift aid when applicable.

Payments (Note 6 to the Accounts)

The total amount paid out of the unrestricted funds was £86,431 (2024 - £82,087) and on restricted funds £3,000 (2024 - £2,500)

Sharing the ministry costs of the Diocese of Chichester

The largest cost for the PCC was the sum of £43,723 (2024 - £40,723) due to the diocese for our share of all churches’ Parish Ministry Costs. Reverend Clive Jenkins gives us 50% of his ministry whilst the remaining 50% of his ministry is for Wisborough Green. This amount covers the housing, stipend and pension costs of the clergy, also a standard sum for diocesan central costs, clergy training and a contribution to national church funds. The PCC contributes 100% of our Parish Ministry Costs allocated to our Parish by the Diocese. The PCC agreed that due to a surplus in 2024 there was an additional amount £3,000 paid to the Diocese to help other parishes who could not afford their full share of ministry costs.

Trustee payments and expenses

The PCC supported the clergy by paying 50% of Council Tax of £842, plus other costs towards travel, hospitality, telephone and general administration amounting to £680; total £1,522 (2024 - £3,241).

There were no payments to persons related to or connected to the trustees.

Repairs to the fabric of the church building

The PCC authorised further work on the re-ordering plans for Holy Trinity in 2025 which incurred costs from the architect and other professionals of £12,060, paid from general funds. Other small repairs amounted to £903. Payment for the quinquennial inspections carried out in 2024 amounted to £2,235 paid in 2025.

Statement of Funds (Note 11 to the Accounts)

Total funds at 31 December 2025 were £408,523 (2024 - £392,649) of which Unrestricted Funds were £244,797 (2024 - £235,455). Within the funds, PCC bank balances combining current and savings accounts and CCLA Deposit Fund totalled £219,229 (2024 – £213,663) with the General Fund element of those PCC bank balances being £92,181 (2024 - £102,584)

Why we hold some money in reserve in the PCC bank accounts?

It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on the general unrestricted funds (excluding property) which equates to approximately six months’ worth of unrestricted payments as contingency against unforeseen situations. The average monthly expenditure in 2025 was £7,453. The closing balance of non-designated cash held in current accounts is £40,182; with the knowledge that major improvements and repairs are needed, this together with the amount of £52,000 in the CCLA deposit account will cover unforeseen situations and some of the repairs. Other capital sums held from receipts in previous years will be used as a reserve for the quinquennial works to both churches and to contribute to the re-ordering of Holy Trinity within the next few years.

Risk Management

In normal times the PCC consider that the principal risks and uncertainties are:

The PCC seeks to manage these risks and uncertainties by regularly reviewing its plans for the use of the church buildings.

The church maintains its properties to a high standard and strives to carry out the priority items of a quinquennial review in a timely manner.
