**Trustees’ annual return 2025** **The Parochial Church Council of the ecclesiastical parish of All Saints, Nettleham Charity Number: 1187862 Financial year end: 31 December 2025** ## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL (PCC) REPORT FOR 2025** The role of the PCC is governed by law (the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 as amended) and the Church Representation Rules. Its principal function, with the Priestin-Church, is “promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical”. The PCC members are charitable trustees and so the provisions of charity law apply to their corporate responsibilities, financial management and decisionmaking. The PCC’s vision is to engage with all, flourish in faith and grow God’s Kingdom. The trustees who served during 2025 are as follows: |Pauline Allcock|Lay Member| |---|---| |Russ Coulter|Deanery Synod representative| |John Dent|Churchwarden| |Myfanwy Denton|Lay Member| |Pam Gainey|Lay Member| |Cedric Hanson|Lay Member (re-elected May 2025)| |Simon Hardy|Deanery Synod representative, Treasurer, Vice Chair| |Andy Lewis|Churchwarden, Parish Safeguarding Officer| |Terry Little|Lay Member (elected May 2025)| |Lucille Luton|Lay Member| |Revd Judy Shaw|Associate Priest (resigned August 2025)| |Henry Speer|Lay Member (elected May 2025)| |Sarah Subden|Deanery Synod representative| |Revd Michelle Webb|Priest-in-Charge and Chair| |Nigel West|Lay Member (re-elected May 2025)| |Monica Wooster|Lay Member| At the May APCM, Terry Little and Henry Speer were newly elected to the PCC and brought financial and legal skills to the PCC. Revd Judy Shaw’s stood down as a PCC member and member of the ministry team, having given loyally and generously to All Saints and the wider community. Thanks should also be given to Andy Lewis for taking on the role of Parish Safeguarding Officer, as well as continuing as Churchwarden for another year. The PCC is recommended to meet at least four times a year. In 2025, the PCC held seven meetings. As required, the PCC has a Standing Committee whose role and composition are laid out in the Church Representation Rules. There is also a Finance Sub-Committee and Community Lottery Sub-Committee for which there are terms of reference. During 2025, the PCC set up three working groups: Eco Church; Strategic Priorities; and National Lottery Heritage Fund. The Eco Church group worked on obtaining its Silver Eco Church award under the leadership of Ced Hanson. It planned to reduce environmental impact to reach the Church of England’s definition of Net Zero by 2030. The Strategic Priorities group followed PCC vision days and the 120 questionnaire responses from the congregation. It prepared a phased action plan with the following priorities: - Continue as a faithful, prayerful, worshipping community whilst developing a range of opportunities to best meet the worship needs of the whole community. - Nurture Christ-like disciples. - Develop ministry with children, young people and families. - Continue the approach of hospitality, fellowship and belonging. - Serve all the people of the parish. It was also agreed to prioritise the successful completion of the tower repairs and the National Heritage Lottery Fund group helped to co-ordinate these. PCC trustees receive regular safeguarding training, safeguarding reports and DBS checks, as well as completing annual Fit and Proper Person declarations and pecuniary interest forms. They declare an interest and withdraw from any items in which they have a conflict of interest. During the year, they received the fourth session of the CPAS PCC training ‘Reviewing Church Life – Worship’. The PCC vision mornings were a new feature for 2025; a time for the PCC to explore more strategic issues outside the regular PCC meetings. These vision mornings continue in 2026. The first vision morning in February looked at the vision and strategic priorities. The second vision morning focused on the Cornerstone project, welcoming Andy Wright from the Generous Giving Team at the diocese. The PCC looked at how its vision was being achieved and received regular reports from Church officers. In terms of **‘engaging with all’** , at the January PCC meeting, Revd Michelle referred to several people she had talked to who had been moved by liturgy, carols or gospel readings over the Christmas period. A Christmas crib service was introduced and run by reader (and PCC member) Lucille Luton. Young people at Youth started to receive training in bellringing. Further details are given in the Church Group reports by the belltower captain. Ducklings received £800 from the Co-op Community Champions to spend on new toys and equipment. There was engagement with local businesses and pastoral care offered after the fire in the Co-op. There were three new recruits to the Open the Book team: Phyl Farmer, Natasha Rose and Jenny Hunt. Guests from RAF Waddington 9 Squadron Association and from Malta attended a commemoration service for the 50[th] anniversary of the RAF Vulcan crash, organised by Bishop Nigel and Revd Michelle. Revd Thomas took the village’s Remembrance afternoon on the Green and at All Saints, welcoming 170 from the uniformed organisations, West Lindsey District and Parish Councillors and villagers. Events over the year included a VE Day themed coffee shop with bells rung on 8 May 2025. The junior school visited the war graves and heard VE Day stories. Our ordinand in training, Jenny Hunt, organised a successful summer ceilidh. In December, the Bezalel project gave an interactive retelling of ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’. Linda Hepburn-Booth organised a series of concerts during the year, which raised substantial funds for the tower and were attended by the community and further afield. There was participation in the Open Churches weekend, Scarecrow weekend, Nettleham Carnival and Festive Market As far as **‘flourishing in faith’** was concerned, several courses were on offer: Lent and Advent; ‘Being With’ and ‘To Love and Serve the Lord’ courses. A diocesan ‘Teach us to Pray’ course was held in the Parish Office. Three house groups continue to meet regularly. Eight young people were confirmed in July. Mark Atkinson, a Ministry Experience Scheme participant, prepared the candidates. A prayer area was introduced into the church, curated by Ann-Marie Fragley and Jane Hanson. It has attracted positive feedback. Revd Michelle was active in both schools and held conversations about belief with Nettleham CE VA Junior school pupils. There was a successful Songs of Praise service at All Saints, sharing worship with the other churches in the village. Lynsey Norris, Assistant Diocesan Director of Education, led the service on Education Sunday. A deanery service took place in Fiskerton and the Ascension Day service was led by Ann Mazur from the cathedral. Open the Book assemblies have gone from strength to strength and Friday morning reflection and prayers takes place with staff at the Junior School. In **‘growing God’s kingdom’** , there were several people in training roles who have flourished and played their part in growing God’s kingdom. The PCC welcomed and has benefitted from participants in the Ministry Experience Scheme: Mark Atkinson, followed by Kate Freeman and Marcin Salachna. Natasha Rose has been a reader in training and Jenny Hunt, an ordinand in training. Revd Pam Beattie, a distinctive deacon, started to explore her call to priestly ministry. Yola Middleton was also an ordinand on placement and started her curacy in another parish. Suzanne Maple was appointed to the Local Mission Partnership (LMP) Administrator role. There has been support for the wider LMP and work together with the local Methodist and Threshold churches. Foundation governors during the year at Nettleham CE VA Junior School included Jan Atkinson, Sally Coulter, David Subden (Chair of Governors) and Nigel West. Revd Michelle was an ex-officio governor. Sally Coulter stood down after the summer term after 20 years. Sarah Subden was appointed as Bishop’s Visitor at the Junior School. Several policies and procedures have been agreed and reviewed during the year, including a PCC Code of Conduct. Different PCC members have taken on responsibility for policy review. The PCC has received and acted upon financial reports and done significant work to put together bids for the Tower repair, resulting in a National Heritage Fund grant of £248k, as well as subsequent grants. Over the year, leadership in the PCC has become more distributed with different groups contributing to and reporting on different aspects of its work (e.g. Eco Church, Strategic Priorities, Heritage Lottery). The vision mornings have enabled the PCC to become more strategic in its role. The PCC members form a cohesive and strong team, working very closely with the Priest-in-Charge, to fulfil its principal functions and responsibilities. _Sally Coulter, PCC Secretary_ ## **REPORTS FROM CHURCH GROUPS FOR 2025** ## _**Bellringing**_ Another busy year. We started off by ringing to celebrate the 80[th] anniversary of VE day and rang 6 quarter peals and 1 full peal in the year. The full peal was the last ringing before the tower fell silent for the roof repair (the first full peal for 4 years and the first for me on our bells!). We are hoping to be back up and running soon. We are planning a full ‘spruce-up’ of the ringing room when the work is completed and the full installation of our teaching setup, including projected images of ringers as well as the computer-generated sounds and programmes we already use. This will allow us to practise without noise, so for longer, and for the more complicated ‘tunes’. The main band are still together and we meet at Washingborough every other week to practise our repertoire. A big thank you is needed to the incumbents and bands at Washingborough and Wragby for letting us use their bells. ## _Claire Holbrook_ ## **Church Women’s Fellowship** We have averaged 15 at our meetings and have had a variety of speakers plus an afternoon tea last August. I continue to request £2 which covers costs of speakers and enables us to contribute to church. A programme for the coming year includes another afternoon tea and a variety of speakers. My thanks for the help given with furniture and technology. ## _Kath Ersser_ ## **Community Lottery** Once again, it has been a quiet year for the lottery. 12 draws have been held with 36 winners receiving cash prizes. The total number of eligible participants for April was 41. It was decided by the PCC to close the Lottery down on the 31st of December 2025. ## _Martin Farmer_ ## **Concerts** We had a series of 8 concerts at the church. A variety of professional and semi-professional groups performed once a month from April to Christmas. These concerts attracted an average audience of 60 people and were enjoyed very much both by the local community and by concert-goers further afield. Much appreciation was expressed by all the performers for the hospitality, good organisation and speedy communication they enjoyed. Nettleham church has gained a fine reputation amongst our Lincolnshire musicians as being an excellent place for them to perform. ## _Linda Hepburn-Booth_ ## **Ducklings** The numbers have remained consistent with approximately 35 children and 30 adults weekly. We have improved the session which is now on the TV screen. We begin with “God is love all the time. All the time God is love” which is used at assembly in the Junior School. The children enjoy playtime, story time and singing. We finish with the Ducklings prayer, cake eating and Tidy up Time to music. ## _Pauline Allcock_ ## **Families** Family Church is now established on a Monday afternoon. We have several families joining us regularly each week, coming straight from school on Mondays to enjoy toast, a cup of tea/coffee, and fellowship together after school. During the holiday periods families receive a little something to help the holidays along, such as a treasure trail; activities to share; this year we have set our families “daily acts of kindness” during Lent which has been well received. Most weeks we stick to our ‘play, craft, and eat’ format, before gathering anyone who would like to join us in the Chancel for a short worship time. This includes action songs, Bible stories on the TV (often LEGO-based), and some gentle reflective activities. Of course, we always look forward to the last week of the month when we enjoy birthday celebrations and Birthday Cake Prayers! Most weeks we have in the region of 35-40 children and around 15-20 adults so church is pretty busy! ## _Sarah Subden_ ## **Flower Arrangers** At present we have fourteen flower ladies who arrange flowers in the church. We work in pairs and thus everyone has a turn at arranging flowers approximately every six weeks. We are more than happy to welcome new members to the team and can support anyone who is not very confident. In an effort to be as eco-friendly as possible we are endeavouring to avoid using oasis when we can as the product is not bio-degradable. We have discussed various ways of doing this and are in the process of sourcing and purchasing a new pedestal so that we can arrange flowers directly into a vase. We are also trying to source local flowers and foliage when possible. ## _Lucille Luton_ ## **Handbells** Handbells continue to thrive. meeting fortnightly on a Monday evening in the Parish Centre between 7.00pm – 9.00pm for fun and laughter, playing music together. We’ve had a few changes to our members over the last 12 months and new members are joining us. We have been delighted to receive new handbell arrangements by Tasha Rose. We are currently learning them and look forward to playing them in church before the end of the summer. ## _Tom Subden_ ## **House Groups** House groups are an opportunity to join a small group (typically 6-12 people) who meet on a regular basis for 1-1½ hours, either in someone’s home or on Zoom. Our groups offer a warm and caring welcome, as well as fellowship and encouragement on our respective journeys of faith. Discussions cover a range of topics, such as short studies on (eg.) the Lord’s Prayer, the Creeds etc, reviewing a bible text and seeing how this affects us in our daily lives, or merely providing opportunities for mutual support and praying together. _Andy Lewis_ ## **Monday Coffee Shop** The coffee shop continues to thrive; there are four regular volunteer helpers and we have also greatly appreciated the help from Jenny and also the M.E.S. participants Marcin and Kate. There has been an increase in the number of people attending with their carers which is wonderful to see as they catch up with all the news from old friends. I have noticed that over the past few months there seems to be an increase in the need for pastoral care; often people do not want help or advice but just someone to listen and sympathise. _John Dent_ ## **Nettleham CE VA Junior School** Another year has flown by in the life of our school – with the year 2025 being another busy one for pupils, staff and Governors. The whole school community looked in depth at the current school vision to ensure that it truly reflected our school and our wider commitment to our pupils, parents & staff etc. Following a joint staff and Governors training day led by Lynsey Norris, the Assistant Director of Education at the Diocese, and further reflection, the school and Full Governing Body (FGB) agreed that we would change our school vision slightly from:- _As a Christian school we believe that every member of our community should feel wonderful, amazing, loved, valued and unique, because God made us that way. We encourage all our children to achieve the highest possible standards and develop skills to be lifelong learners_ To the current one as on the website being: - _As an inclusive church school, we nurture everyone to feel loved, valued and unique, because God made us that way. We are ambitious that all of our children love learning for life, make a difference in the world, reach their full potential and become the best version of themselves._ Lynsey also advised us that we should have our vision and school philosophy rooted in a bible verse. After much deliberation, debate and some prayer, we decided that the following verse was suitable to link our vision, values and ethics of our school: - _“You are the body of the anointed one and each of you is a unique and vital part of it.” 1 Corinthians 12:27 (passion translation)_ We decided that the current 6 school values still reflected the guiding principles of our school being: - ## _TRUST – HUMILITY – THANKFULNESS – KOINONIA - FRIENDSHIP – ENDURANCE_ Our vision and values are also fully in line with the Department for Education (DfE) requirements that all schools in England _actively promote fundamental British values as part of students' spiritual, moral, social, and cultural (SMSC) development. These core values are: democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs_ . We have also continued to support our local Infant school with Mr Gibbons being the acting Headteacher at the Infants for this entire academic year 2025/26. Mr Gibbons will have undertaken that role since 3[rd] January 2025 and both schools have benefited from this arrangement. We had a notable retirement; after 20 wonderful and insightful years’ service Mrs Sally Coulter decided that she had done her bit as a Foundation Governor and left her role in August. Nettleham Juniors continues to be a great school where the pupils and staff can thrive and are challenged and supported to fulfil their potential. ## _David Subden_ ## **Pastoral Care Team** In July 2025 it was announced that Revd. Judy Shaw, the Leader of the Team, would be leaving the Deanery Group but would continue to work as a Hospital Chaplain at Lincoln Hospital. The Team offered her their grateful thanks for all her hard work, dedication, guidance and leadership over the previous 3 years. Following this it was agreed that Ordinand Jenny Hunt would lead the Team with Revd. Michelle. John and Pauline have now completed their training and await their full certification as ALM’s. Chris is currently undertaking his training. As with all Team members there is an on-going programme of training and learning to ensure they are fully qualified with regards to Safeguarding and DBS certification. The Team continues in its work to visit the sick and housebound, those who are bereaved, the lonely and those in Hospital or Care Homes. Some Members take Holy Communion to people at home or in Hospital; all members wearing photo I/D badges. During 2025, Team members continued to run a very successful Holy Communion Service for residents at the Tennyson Wharf Care Home, but in August this changed with the Home falling under the direction of the Springline Group of Churches which will take over the running of services here. The services for residents at the Burroughs Complex in Nettleham, run by Martin continues its success with a regular group of worshippers. Martin now holds a monthly service here which is especially helpful for those who are unable to get to Church. The Transport Team continues its work to bring the elderly and infirm to Church on a Sunday. _Peter Broadley_ ## **Vergers** Our small group, comprised of John Dent, Martin Farmer, Andy Lewis and David Baxter, provided vergers for 16 funeral services and 3 weddings in 2025, an approximately 10% reduction in the total number of such occasional services, compared with 2024. ## _David Baxter_ ## **Youth** The Youth Group offers a space for 10-18 year olds to come and play games, do crafts, relax and learn something about the Bible and Christianity, but in a way that relates it to their context of young people growing up in a challenging world. We encourage discussions about their school life, worries, successes and seek to build trust with them so that they feel that they can talk frankly and safely. ## _Tasha Rose_ ## **NETTLEHAM ALL SAINTS PCC** ## **STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025** |Note
