TRusfEES' ANNUAL REPORT (Co￿[INUED} FOR THE 12 MoNfHS ENDED 315t DECEMBER
2025
SUMMARY
The latest 12 months have been the first full year for Rev Lirty Cameron as Ass￿late Minister and Rev
Richard and Louise White as Rectors, and their different range of skills and abilities are being felt
acn)ss the parish.
The work to replace the roof at st Nlcholas has been completed and BIs￿p Karen led the rededicatlon
Servi￿ in June. This has IEen a major project for the parish and ivs completion is a result of signif￿ant
work and commitment by the project team arKI many others. The final report was submitted to
Heritsge Lottery in DeC￿ber and they were very complimentsry of what be￿ achiev￿1.
ACHIEVEMEKfs AND PERFORMANCE
Trustees Report
The new team of ￿ Lindy Cameron, Rev Loui* White and ￿ RKhard White alorg with Rev Nick
Webb, Rev Ann Bond and Jane Hudson have blend￿ together. During the year Ann Bond decided
to retlre and 5 new Lay Worshlp Leaders Jolned the team (Ursula Ambrose, Chris Meadows, Becca
Chatron, Janet Roblnson and Mike Robinson) have joined the team. The period of interregnum in 2024
meant that we pullaj tog&her across the ben￿1￿ to ensure serv￿5 were covered arKI that feellng of
participation and cooperation has contlnued rK)w that we have the new mintsters in pla￿.
Nicky Glassock has continu￿1 as our paid part time administrator and provides invaluable support to
the whole parish. We are also thankful for a significant team of volunteers to do the range activities
that are need￿1 to k&p all our churches Op￿ for seNices and visitors.
It was with a great *nse of achievernent that the reroofing work at St Nicholas, Worth Matravers was
completed by the middle of 2025 and the rededication service was held In June. The totsl cost was
over £600,000. As the building w)rk neared completion we began to ￿uS on the second phase of the
project which involved interpretation boards inside arKI outside the thurch to tell the story of the
building, interaction with IcKal schools to help them understsrKI our heritage, plus vid8Js and digital
displays. This was all completed by the end of 2025 arKI the boards are in place and the video is
available via the website. A ￿ thank you Is owed to all the team that made this a really successful
projecL
Building issues have been identif￿d at St James with damp arKI the riM)f plus at st George's with the
vestry roof arKI WcM)J￿￿n￿. All of these will r￿ed to be ￿ressed in 2026 along with the thallenge of
funding the necessary repairs.
The wcodwonn at St Gwrgds has also meant that we have had to immediatety dispose of half the
chairs and the remainder will need to be disposed of in 2026. Work has already started looking at
options and discussions are under way with the DAC to urKlerstsnd what might be considered
acceptable.
During 2025 we were privileged to marry 7 couples at the churches arKI chapel across the parish. The
churches also conducted 9 funual and 5 bapti￿￿ servic

The Christmas season saw irKreased numb￿5 atterKI the Adven¢ Carol and Christingle ￿¢vices, which
was a great enCourag￿￿1t to everyone Involv￿1. There is now a challenge though as to how we build
on these attendan￿ at special Servi￿ in to a TTK>re regular inter￿lon with the churches.
The parish continues to gNe support to the k)cal prtrsch￿l and school, through various means
Including a monthly pre-sch￿1 / reception class activity in the church, leading assemblies and acts of
worship, foundation govemors and the use of St G￿rge'S Church for key sch(x)l activities and
celebrations during the year.
The churches have continued to pr￿nt the gospej throLKJh traditsonal Holy Communion services with
our choir, Walking Church (a than￿ to walk with oth￿$ on a Sunday morning arKI to share ideas and a
picnic lunch), infonTkil Servi￿ led by our LWLS, even50ng - a tradibonal surKJ evening Service,
Breakfast Church ( an opportunity to m￿t wple overs croissants and coffee and to discuss and
explore Ideas together), Holy C(Thmunion and moming and evening prayer with a Celtic influen￿,
Evening prayer at Ham)ans Cross Village Hall, Taize arKJ Celtic evening prayer at St Aldhelm's Chapel,
and Wednesday morning communion and conversation (a participatory servi￿, foll0v￿ by coffee)
Thank you to everyone who has participated in leading and SupFK)￿ng these services.
Rev Lindy Cameron has put In significant effort during the year to establish a residential community at
the rectory in Langton Matravers. The first new member of the community mved in in January 2026
and the hope is that they will be blessed but also be a resource for the whole parish.
During 2025 we had hoped to develop futher our ￿latIonShIp with the care home at the Old Rectory,
but unfortunatety they ck)sed during the year. Subsequently it has b￿n bought by new owners and
extensively refurbished. We have good relationships with the new owners and look forward to seeing
the home req￿n in 2026 and rEw residents rrM)ve in.
After 4 years of belng one parish, we continue to d￿ek>p our ￿la￿OnshIpS and structure, the Church
Community Teams have met to consider and progress individual church cOn￿mS arKI inltiatives and
the PCC has met in Fts trustee/gOvernan￿ role. The￿ continue to be some tV￿ak5 along the way, but
essentlally the 'one parish, prOc￿￿S appears to be functioning appropriately.
The challenges for 2026 will be
Explo￿ opportunities to build on the numbets attended the Thristsnas events
maintenan￿ issues at St James, St Aldhelm's Chapel and St G￿rge'S
SupFK)rt the development of a reSIden￿al communty based at the r&tory in Langton Matravers
Thanks are due to our churchwardens Richard and Janet for wrestling with the responsibilities of
overseeing the challenge5 presented by thr￿ churcfEs. Thanks too to Mike for work in managing our
shared firkin￿.
Publlc Benefit

or'aims, that are for the public benefit. Detsils of how the charity has achieved this a￿ provided in the
Trustees repo￿ The trustees confirm that they have paKI due rajard to the thaiity Commission
guidance on public benefit before dec5ding what ￿1VitieS the charity slK>ukl undertske.

Financial Review of the Year

For the 12 months to the end of D￿ember 2025 income Wds £183,160
Plannd regular donations totsled £30,800 and Gift aid reclaims were £10.091
Grants re￿iVed in 2025 towards the Worth R￿f pro]￿ totsled £73,635 frcyn The Heritsge Lottery arKI
the LIS￿ Pl￿ of Worship stheme.
In the year there were 7 w￿lIngS and 9 funerals whith g￿Erated fee income of £9,705.
The fete and asS(tht￿l plcture quiz were again successful and generated £8,525 of income.
Expenditure for the 12 months to the end of December 2025 was £249,463. The major item in this was
the £137,780 on the Worth R¢J)f repairs arKI associated expenses.
In the General FurKI total of £95,996. the Parish Share was £40,022, utilities £8,469, Insuran￿ £8,152
and repairs and Maintenan￿ £6,691.
The PCC had a d￿lcIt for the 12 mnths to the end of Decanber 2025 of £66,303.The Unrestricted
Funds had a surplus of £1,705, whilst the Restricted Funds had a deficit of £68,009 as funds raised in
previous years for the Worth ro(* prOj￿t were used.

payment.
With general expenses for the 12 months running at approx. £88,0(Kl (excluding one off items) in the
12 months ending 31 D￿mber 2025, best practi￿ would require us to have 3 months expenditure in
the bank to ensure we have suffiCi￿t to meet an uneXp￿d down-tum in givirKJ or an unexp
expense. The Trustees are rrK)re than satisfEd that carrying ovw 10 mnths expenditure in the bank
account is sufficien¢ although it is ackr￿WIedged that there will need to be a fijrther review of
expenditures and giving I fundraising initiative in 2026 to bring our Unrestricted giving and expenditure
in to line.
The Restricted funds of £29,2(K) represent gifts made to the churth to supw)rt various proiectsi people
and activities as listed in Note 6.
There Is regular communication with the people and activities, for which funds are being held, and
funding needs are identified and funds transferred as n￿ary.
