The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to come to faith and become members of a worshipping community. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish to ensure that services and activities meet the needs of the many groups within the parish.
It attempts to put faith into practice through prayer, Scripture, music and sacrament and to allow each individual’s knowledge of and trust in Jesus to develop. The PCC supports societies and individuals involved in missionary, pastoral and outreach work within the parish and beyond.

Activities of the Parochial Church Council, Achievements and Performance
The PCC met regularly during 2025 with most meetings including a mixture of face-to-face and Zoom. The established pattern of Sunday Worship continued with a celebration of Holy Communion at St Michaels on the first and third Sundays and at All Saints on the second and fourth Sundays of each month. The Service of the Word on the first and third Sundays at All Saints also continued.
The Café Churches at All Saints and St Michaels continued during the year and in the months with five Sundays, a variety of services took place in both churches on that fifth Sunday, including Brunch and Breakfast Services.
The PCC dealt with the usual range of regular business, with its ongoing financial situation affecting the support to the Diocesan Common Fund and the various Mission agencies.
Most of our activities as a church continued including the Board Games Club and Book Club. The ‘Open the Book’ bible story sessions in Darfield All Saints’ Academy and Sandhill Primary School in Great Houghton continued.
Our traditional Carols by Candlelight service featured in the Christmas Service provision in both Churches. On Christmas eve a Crib Service was held at All Saints and the traditional Midnight Communion Service took place at St Michael’s
We continued our ministry to our Parishioners through funerals in both our churches and at the cemeteries and at Barnsley Crematorium. Six funeral services were held in All Saints and three in St Michaels followed by interment or cremation. Of these, All Saints Churchyard saw three burials together with two burials of ashes.
We celebrated the weddings of three couples at All Saints and one wedding blessing at each of All Saints’ and St Michael’s.
The regular meetings for prospective Baptisms continued and, during the year we welcomed five children for Baptism and one child for a Service of Thanksgiving
Our Day of Remembering in October allowed visitors to remember in their own way as well as incorporating a short service.
All Saints’ Church was opened for visitors several times during the year including the national Heritage Open Days and for our now annual Snowdrop Trail in conjunction with the Maurice Dobson Museum & Heritage Centre. In a new venture we joined with churches across the Diocese in Church Explorers Week
Our Annual Garden Party and Christmas Fair were well supported by our local community at All Saints’ and at St Michael’s a very enjoyable garden party with afternoon tea also saw a good attendance
All Saints welcomed representatives of local organisations and others to the Annual Remembrance Sunday Service. a Day of Remembering in October allowed visitors to remember their own loved ones in their own way as well as incorporating a short service.
St Michael’s Church in Great Houghton has been open for an hour on most Thursdays during the year and their Craft and Natter group continue to meet on Tuesday afternoons.
The Community Shop on the Go continues to use our Church Hall car Park on alternate Thursdays to sell quality food at affordable prices which would otherwise go to landfill. In conjunction with these visits, our Church Hall and Church have been open every Thursday as a Warm Welcome Space providing light refreshments to all funded by grants from the Dept of Work and Pensions via Barnsley Council.
Our Church Hall continued to see use by Slimming World, DanceFit, Darfield Scouts, Exodus Youth Group on a regular week by week basis and the Cameo Group every month. Some casual bookings have seen the Hall booked for children’s parties. In December a Christmas Crafts session proved to be popular and raised funds for our Project Fund Towards the end of 2025, most of the regular activities in the Church Hall had to cease or transfer to the Church until the safety of hall users can be assured following the failure of a suspended ceiling in the stairwell.
During the year, All Saints Academy transferred to The Diocese of Sheffield Academies Trust. Pupils and staff have visited All Saints for their regular services at Christmas, Easter and for their Leavers’ Service in July. Our Open the Book Team has visited All Saints Academy and Sandhill Primary School in Great Houghton to enact accounts from the Bible Rev Fiona Kouble left the Parish in March to take up the post of Vicar of Tideswell in the Diocese of Derby. Since then, we have been reliant on visiting Clergy to undertake our regular Holy Communion Services, Weddings, Funerals and Baptisms across our two Churches. In particular we are extremely grateful for Rev Roger Evans, and Rev Canon Julie

Upton who have taken much of the burden of these arrangements. Our small local team continues to lead worship for our Morning Worship
Fabric report:
The regular routine maintenance of equipment in our buildings continued. The slow process of specifying the Project which will add toilet facilities and permanent kitchenette area together with alterations to permit greater accessibility to All Saints still continues.
The Friends of Darfield Churchyard continue to undertake the maintenance of our Churchyard for which we are very grateful.
The Quinquennial Inspections of our two churches were undertaken during the latter part of the year and the PCC will be studying these reports to generate a buildings’ strategy for the next five years.
'The condition of the Church Hall continues to be a cause for concern and, in December 2025, a fallen ceiling on the stairwell forced the closure of the hall for all activities with only the accessible toilet and the kitchen remaining in any use until a structural survey could be arranged to assess safety. This has ongoing financial implications.
Safeguarding
The PCC is committed to implementing Promoting a Safer Church , the House of Bishops’ Safeguarding Policies and Good Practice guidelines. Safeguarding is included on the agenda of every PCC meeting, and its relevant policies are regularly reviewed and updated as required by changes in legislation and recommended good practice.
In accordance with their duties and where required, individuals are subject to regular checks with the Disclosure and Barring Service. Safeguarding Training at an appropriate level is undertaken in line with Diocesan guidelines. The PCC will maintain a Safeguarding Training Needs Analysis and present it each year to the Annual Meeting.
Prayer Ministry Team:
The five members in our prayer team continue to meet on Thursday afternoons to pray for the Church, the world and in particular for the concerns brought to us by people in our Church family, the wider community and beyond.
Contact can be made with the the team face to face on Sundays in Church, by leaving a message in our Prayer Box in the South Chapel by the Prayer Tree, or by texting/ringing Carol: 07542 527 331. We will pray for you when we gather on Thursdays. Arrange a phone-call if you would like a listening ear or a visit with you if preferred.
Bell Ringers
Our team of Bellringers, with the help of local visiting ringers, have continued to announce our Sunday morning Services at All Saints. They have also been involved with their regular Thursday Practice night, as well as a silent leaners’ practice on Wednesdays, and have rung for weddings and other special occasions during the year. Attendance numbers usually vary between five and fifteen and our age range spans from teens to seventies. The Tower has been opened for visitors whenever the Church has been open for special events.
Financial Review and Explanation of Funds for 2025
The PCC would like to start by thanking all those who have supported the churches financially and in so many other ways, over 2025. We could not do our work without your support.
The Financial Statements on page 7 give the combined figures for the whole parish. They show that the total income for the parish in 2025 was £72,146 and total expenditure was £53,190. Full details of receipts, payments and funds are given in the Financial Statements . Copies of the Separate year-end accounts for the two churches are also available.
Income and Expenditure are classified under three headings – Unrestricted, Designated and Restricted.
4
-
Restricted amounts have been received for a specific purpose and can only be spent for that purpose.
-
Designated amounts are identified by the PCC as being for a particular purpose, but this purpose can change if circumstances change.
-
All other receipts and payments are classed as Unrestricted and can be used by the PCC for its general purposes.
Financial Notes for Darfield All Saints Church only.
(Notes for St Michael and All Angels, Houghton, are given on the next page.)
Our overall income for Darfield All Saints Church for 2025 was £65,391 and our expenditure £48,063. This would appear to be a very healthy profit of £17,327 but it should be noted that almost half that ‘profit’ is accounted for by grants which were received in 2025 to be used in 2026. Two more contributory factors to this profit were that (a) we had budgeted for paying an administrative worker, but we never managed to hire one, and (b) we were without a minister for most of the year so had few clergy expenses. These facts have saved us money but placed more work on some already over-burdened shoulders.
Looking at the rest of the accounts in more detail, income from ‘planned giving’ fell slightly by just under 1% on 2024 but income from ‘open collections’ rose by 8%.
Income from wedding and funeral fees remained low, as in many other churches. Church Hall income remained stable – the apparent reduction in 2025 being explained by arrears of £800 for 2025 not being paid to us until the start of 2026.
Fund-raising events (and income from ‘easyfundraising’ online) raised a total of £2,344, including £360 for the Church Toilets Project. The Garden party (£835) and the Christmas Fair (£1,046) did particularly well and were well-attended and well-enjoyed events for the community.
Our energy costs for the church reduced by 23% from 2024 due to revised contracts and lower energy prices generally. We tithe our income from ‘planned giving’ and this resulted in £2,400 being shared between our five supported missions (CPAS, Scripture Union, Release International, The Bible Society and Goldthorpe Salvation Army).
During 2025 we carried out the five-yearly check of the electrics in the church and the replacement of light bulbs, costing £2,097. One of the gas heating boilers in the Hall required substantial repair work at a cost of £830. A tree in the churchyard partially collapsed, costing £420 to make safe.
We received five grants in 2025 - £1,762 from Barnsley Council and DWI in January to run our Warm Welcome Space through 2025, £150 from the NISA store in April to mend the church clock, £5,020 in September from Park Springs Community Fund towards the necessary upgrade of our fire alarm system in the hall (which has not yet been used), £150 in November from Darfield Ward Alliance for craft supplies to use at the Christmas Fair and £2,030 form Barnsley Council and Department of Work and Pensions to run the Warm Welcome Space throughout 2026.
We pledged, and paid, £12,750 to the Diocesan Common Fund. This was a 2% increase on the previous year. We are a ‘net-receiving’ parish and currently pay less than a quarter of the ministry costs of a vicar/rector. This means that we are reliant on other churches and the diocese to fund our shortfall.
Generally – it is always good to reach the end of the year breaking even on our day to day running and even better when we manage to accumulate funds for necessary repairs and maintenance. In 2026 we will need all this money and much more as we decide on whether to proceed with the much-needed project for the Church Toilets and Kitchenette, or to repair and make weatherproof our Church Hall. Both projects will need tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Once again, thank you to everyone who has faithfully given financially to the work of God in this church in the year 2025.
Financial Notes for Houghton St Michael &All Angels Church only.
(Notes for Darfield, All Saints Church, are given above.)
Our overall income for Houghton St Michael & All Angels Church for 2025 was £6,826 and our expenditure £5,197. This gives a healthy profit of £1,629.

Looking at the accounts in more detail, income from ‘planned giving’ remained about the same as 2024 and income from ‘open collections’ reduced slightly by 15%.
Fund-raising events (and income from ‘easyfundraising’ online) raised a total of £655, with much of that coming from the Summer Garden Party and afternoon tea.
In 2024, we had hired out the Church Rooms, especially during the time that the Miners’ Welfare Hall was closed for refurbishment. Some of that income was paid in 2025 and we received a total of £920 for the hire, in 2024 and 2025, of the Church Rooms.
We received one grant in 2025, which was £195 from the Ward Alliance for the Garden Party and for paint for an outside wall. This grant money still remains to be spent.
We pledged, and paid, £1,275 to the Diocesan Common Fund.
Reserves Policy for the whole Parish
It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds which equates to at least three months’ unrestricted payments. This is usually equivalent to about £14,000 for the whole parish. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The balance of £127,476 held in unrestricted (including ‘designated’) funds at the year-end was more than sufficient to meet the target. This is mainly due to the balance of £87,301 held within All Saints’ designated ‘projects’ fund.
