Redruth PCC’s aims and objectives
The PCC is responsible for the local governance of the church and the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England.
Duties include:
Facilitation of Worship Welcome Health and Safety Safeguarding Disability access Accessing appropriate training as required
Managing the financial needs of the church, administering the church accounts and ensuring MMF is paid.
Redruth Parochial Church Council
On 1 January 2022 the churches of St Euny Redruth, St Andrew Pencoys and St Andrew Redruth were merged into the existing Redruth Parochial Church Council.
On 1 January 2024 Redruth PCC took over the function of Redruth Team Council and now handles the finances of all five churches in the Redruth Team Ministry. Records will be kept in such a way to ensure that each individual church’s finances can still be assessed. This was implemented by way of a pastoral scheme which merged the existing PCC’s of Christchurch Lanner and St Stephen Treleigh into Redruth PCC.
The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England, operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure and was registered as a charity on 7 August 2023. It has no related Trusts or Charities. The PCC met 6 times during the year.
St Euny Redruth, St Andrew Pencoys, St Andrew Redruth, Christchurch Lanner and St Stephen Treleigh also have separate District Church Councils (DCC) to oversee their special events, services and groups, building/fabric issues, health and safety, and developing links with schools and other outside groups.

Public Benefit
The PCC is aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in “The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit” and have regard to it in their administration of the parish. The PCC believes that, by fulfilling its responsibility to work together with the clergy and lay ministers in the parish and cooperate in all matters of concern and importance for the promotion of the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical, it provided a benefit to the public by:
-
providing resources and facilities for public worship, pastoral care and spiritual, moral and intellectual development, both for its members and for anyone who wishes to benefit from what the church offers
-
promoting Christian values, and service by members of the church to the community, to the benefit of individuals and society as a whole.

Reserves Policy
Ideally the PCC would like to retain at least six months general fund expenditure as free reserves to meet future shortfalls in income or unexpected expenses. At 31 December 2025 the free reserves at £50,978 represented five months expenditure.
Safeguarding
The parish safeguarding officer maintains records of training undertaken and DSB checks carried out and ensures volunteers who take responsibility for the care of young, elderly and vulnerable individuals are appropriately qualified. Risk assessments are carried out for each activity and Diocese guidelines are adhered to.
Risk assessments
The PCC and individual DCCs regularly review the major risks to which the churches are exposed, in particular those related to the building safety, safeguarding and finances, and is satisfied that arrangements are in place to mitigate the exposure to such risks.
Looking Forward
2026 will be another exciting year as the 5 churches start to work closer together as one PCC with the support and guidance of Becca our new Rector of Redruth and later in the year a new curate to work with the church council, the hardworking ministry team and our five congregations to seek God’s wishes and develop his plans within the Redruth community.

Report from Rector
Having seen through one full year here in Redruth, I think I am beginning to gain a grasp on the priorities and possibilities before us.
I cannot go through the year blow by blow, as there is too much to talk about, so I want to focus in on a few highlights, name a couple of challenges, and lay out my hopes for our future.
My highlights last year included St Piran’s day, Remembrance Sunday, Our Christmas events, and any other opportunity to connect with the wider community. Starting Bubble church and the youth event in July saw the emergence of ideas made real, and it’s been wonderful to see the fruit of those. I loved Parish services, where we come together, and sharing Holy Week last year. I was also grateful when Pie offered to be part of starting some sort of grief cafe. This is still an evolving group, but it has already provided an important and much needed ministry.
One of the most transformational and fruitful things to come out of last year is the training and deployment of 9 worship leaders. I am thrilled to see them all growing in their ministries. For some it is a case of helping where help is needed; and that is important and much appreciated. For others it is clearly a next step into a wider ministry. Watch this space!
In many ways, I still feel like we are in a time of transition. We have adapted to a more mixed economy of worship on a Sunday, and our links with children and youth have increased. And we are always aware of trying to do more with less! It seems that the Parish is very aware of a need to adapt, but we are still discovering what that might look like in the medium and longer term. Some of this is outlined in the report that came of our Parish Conversations last autumn, and this report is available as a reminder today.
Our key challenges are around finance and buildings. We have five buildings, most of which need some work. Our reserves are gradually diminishing as our income is outstripped by our outgoings. This is common to most parishes, but we need to keep reviewing our response to these issues. I am keen that our giving should continue to increase, and we should address the issues highlighted in each of our churches most recent Quinquennial Inspection.
Most of all I am grateful for the kindness, love, and joy that this parish shares. It is not to be underestimated what a lovely thing it is to have such a positive culture. not only does it mean others might want to join us, but more importantly, it means we are reflecting God. Our faith is not incidental to our life together, but our faith in Jesus Christ is the very reason for us being.

Trustees Annual Report ( continued) Report from Rector
Children and Youth Work Annual Report Reporting Period: 1[st] January 2025 to 1[st] January 2026
This last year has involved a lot of input around CYF. Part of the “mandate” for the new Rector was to increase the Parish Engagement with Children, Youth and Families. We made great inroads to this.
Prior to Becca’s appointment, the bishop had invited her to join a new national initiative in the form of a course for incumbents that focuses on CYF ministry and ran until June 2025.This re-enthused her determination that we should continue to develop opportunities for this often missing part of our church to discover God’s love for them.
We had a Youth PCC, attended by 8 children from across the parish. Their hope was clear; their own group. Pizza and Prayer have been meeting since June 2025 and its been lovely. We are still learning how best to hold the space, and we need to make a few more tweaks to make it an inclusive space. But it is a success with fun and games, lots of Pizza, music, and chats about God. The group is currently working on a setting for Eucharist that they can lead in our churches around the cluster. It is led by guitar band, so a little different to the organ, and it won’t happen every week! But it will be a blessing when they are ready to lead it!
Another idea to come from the course was Bubble Church . We have now run this since September with a strong team from across the parish. This last Bubble church saw a significant increase in financial giving, and engaging with one another in conversation before the service. We also had a mum offer to bring the food. This is an amazing leap forward in the congregation becoming more self sufficient. It will be good to see what we are reporting about Bubble Church in a year’s time. Currently it is consistently our largest congregation outside of parish services.
Toast continues to thrive. Chris Harrigan led on a big event for young people last July. We had 52 young people come and enjoy inflatables, food, and a silent disco. It was a huge success with volunteers from around the parish and deanery being hugely encouraged by what is possible. Following the event Toast has grown from a regular 25ish to mid forties to fifty attending each Friday. the kids desperately need more space to run around. As we look at our buildings, it’s hugely important that we seriously consider removing pews and replacing with seating at St Andrews. Bubble Church will have the same need soon as it grows. These groups/congregations are the future of the church in Redruth, as well as being our present. We need to enable them to thrive if we want a long term future for St Andrews.

Trustees Annual Report ( continued) Report from Rector/Ministry Team Children and Youth Work Annual Report ( continued) Reporting Period: 1[st] January 2025 to 1[st] January 2026
We continue to see a small regular group of children at our Sunday worship. It’s really lovely. But we do need to be thinking about how we enable them to grow within our congregations. It’s fab to see them taking part in services, and this is a hugely important way that we can help them to feel included. I am grateful to congregations that are so delighted to have children, and enable them to find a place.
There is potential for more. We committed last year to hold some prayer evenings especially focused on young people and their families. These will happen as we get towards the
summer. It would be good to build on the links with our schools. the hope is that we might be able to build a parish team to enable this, starting with “growing Church” at Treleigh later in the year.

Trustee’s report (continued)
Report from St Euny Redruth
St Euny remains without a warden, and so this report is prepared by the Rector. Forgive me for things I miss.
St Euny has had a challenging year. We have been without a warden, and key members of the team have faced enormous personal challenges which have caused them to step back from their usual unwavering commitment to the church. However, despite this, St Euny has managed a wonderful programme of events over the year.
The beginning of the year saw the Panto and St Euny Fest; both a fab success. Avril stepped up to be playwright, whilst Father Peter astonished us all with more costume changes than Cinderella. It is really special to see so many people in the church who are not usually there.
When Easter came, the usual daybreak service was really special, with Daisy Roberts helping to light the pascal candle from Easter fire, and Linda Beskeen greeting us back into the church with bacon rolls.
Heading into the summer, the BBQ was a huge success as always; with thanks to Charles Green for bbq-ing, and the tonnes of food folk provided. The Mining service was less of a success than previous years. The Town Council did not attend, as they have previously. The pilgrimage walk was beautiful, but the service after was less well attended. The plan is for the next one to be a parish service.
Christmas was, again, a busy time. The wreath making sessions were as popular as always, and the Christmas eve carol service was packed. It was also lovely to have ROAST return for their Christmas concert, although this was slightly harder to accommodate with the reduced St Euny team.
The building has had no significant work this year. The electrics have caused some problems following a local lightening strike. But that has been resolved. There are some outstanding works still from the last quinquinnial; namely the investigative works over the window above the kitchen. It is believed the issues are possibly linked to the wider issue around rain water goods. This work requires scaffolding, and we will need to ensure this is done soon.
The Defib failed at the end of last year, but a replacement machine and refurbished cabinet has been sent. This will be installed by an electrician soon (hopefully by the APCM!)

Report from St Euny Redruth (continued)
Worship over the year has continued to flourish. The Wednesday Communion and open cafe is St Euny’s main event each week. The congregation has gradually grown as folk have started to arrive before Open Cafe in time to join with the service, usually led by Father Peter.
There has been some experimenting as well! At a DCC earlier in the year folk asked if there could be more alternative worship. There was some dissatisfaction with the same service each week. Jim has continued to lead a monthly service at St Euny, which is well received. As worship leaders were trained, the worship rota changed to include services of word. And so a Cafe Church service was introduced in September. This has proved fairly unpopular with the congregation. However, it has started to develop a gathering of its own! 4 children regularly attend, with two of them playing with the small music group. Some gorgeous conversations have flowed over coffee and cake, but its remains to be seen whether this service will remain.
The joint service with St Stephen’s, Treleigh did stop briefly, but has been reinstated. It is good to have the larger, combined congregation.
Weddings, funerals, and baptisms also continue to regularly take place. I am incredibly grateful to Chris Vining for continuing to verge and to so often being behind the scenes welcoming, and putting the kettle on! A special mention also needs to be made to her family, who often turn out to support St Euny events of all kinds!
The future for St Euny is really positive. The Wednesday congregation and cafe is a really special point in the week, and it is due to the hard work and commitment of the St Euny team. I am less certain what the future of Sunday worship is, with the diminishing congregation. But that does not need to be a negative thing at all. St Euny has an extremely important and beautiful ministry as a building, and as a congregation.

Churchwarden’s Report, St Andrew’s Redruth 2025 Worship
With Becca settling into her role as Rector, several new initiatives were begun at St Andrew’s in 2025.In order to relieve the ever growing pressure on clergy, and to build up the team for the time when we may only have one priest, 10 people from across the Parish (including 2 teenagers) trained as Worship Leaders, enabling them to take non-communion morning services. The first of these took place at St Andrew’s in early summer and services have continued on the first Sunday of each month. These services have been well received and also give a chance to try something a little different from time to time.
In September Bubble Church – a new initiative aimed at young children (up to the age of 5) and their families – began on the first Sunday of every month. The congregation for this delightful half hour service has been growing steadily and at the last count there were around a dozen children attending with their parents and grandparents. Bubble Church takes place after the morning service and gives an opportunity for the two congregations to enjoy coffee and croissants together.
Pizza and Prayer, the final new initiative that started in 2025, is a group that has been set up for church teenagers to come together for fun activities and to discuss their faith, whilst also enjoying eating pizza! Although small at the moment, this group is important to those who attend and gives an opportunity to invite others along who may wish to explore faith issues.
Our usual seasonal services were as wonderful as ever, from the moving Easter meditations to the joyous Christmas celebrations, and it is always a pleasure to welcome in the community for Remembrance Day services, Carol Concerts and special one off events.
Throughout the year Bible study, Lent and Advent groups were well attended and enriched both our knowledge and fellowship. Zoom Morning Prayer continued daily with a regular attendance of members from across the 5 Parish churches. This service continues to be a very special 15-20 minutes at the start of each day where our Parish, loved ones and the wider world are held in prayer.
Finally, a big thank you to our amazing Ministry Team – Becca, Chris, Peter, Margaret, Jim and Jason – who hold, guide, support and encourage us in all we do.
Fabric
As ever, the rain continued to pour into St Andrew’s in places we didn’t even know we had! Nigel Pearce does his best to hold back the floods but the truth is that, like many churches, what we really need is a new roof. However, with Nigel’s ministrations problems were solved quickly and efficiently and we are very grateful for all the time and effort he spends. A mention here too for Robert Jobson who, with his team of Richard and Martin, keep our grounds spick and span and remove unwanted items to the local dump

Churchwarden’s Report, St Andrew’s Redruth 2025 (continued)
Other works done in 2025 were repairs to the Rose window, redecoration of the servery
roof, remedial adjustments to the crypt floor, removal of four pews from the back of church to create more space, an investigation into restoration of the organ, and general repairs and maintenance.
As we go forwards into 2026 we are beginning to explore the priorities and possibilities that the future holds for our building not only as a place of worship but also as a place where we can further serve our surrounding community.
Fellowship and Community
Church life at St Andrew’s continued to be as exciting and fulfilling as ever in 2025.
Foodbank and Warmbank served those in need not just with food and warmth but also with space to talk and connect, with support and signposting and with love and care.
It is wonderful to report that our groups for young people and families have seen amazing growth during 2025. Tiddlers Toddlers, Come Rain or Shine, Messy Church and TOAST have . all had big influxes of attendees – all of whom say how important these activities are to them
None of the above six groups could run without our incredible band of volunteers who give freely of their time and energy to be there week in week out. A massive thank you to you all.
Craft Club, Pilates, Brownies, Guides, art events and concerts were among the community activities which were welcomed into the church and crypt throughout 2025, including our own, our very own Randoms Music Hall night and Murder Mystery Cream Tea – which was so realistic that several audience members thought the victim really was ill!!
As Churchwarden I would like to thank everyone who makes St Andrew’s such a special place. You all work incredibly hard to make it the vibrant, lively, warm and welcoming place it is. I am grateful too for the support and encouragement I receive personally – especially from my lovely deputy, Jeff.
May we all continue to move forward together in love and hope, caring both for each other and our local community.
Lez Seth, Churchwarden

ST STEPHEN TRELEIGH— Annual Report
The new year began with us worshipping with our friends at St Euny. This was a regular event alternating between St Euny and Treleigh for the first Sunday service of the month. We then from June had a break before coming together again in December.
Our Upper Room meeting with Jim at the Knights house continued with the Lent course, which led us into Holy week. The Palm Sunday service as is traditional at Treleigh began in the Hall with the blessing of the palms before we all processed down the path to church. Maundy Thursday the ladies of Treleigh led the morning service which culminated with the stripping of the Altar. Good Friday we welcomed Jim into church for the Stations of the Cross service. Once again due to the weather this was held inside.
This is where I pass the baton onto Anne Youlton, who in my absence became Churchwarden.
At our tea party on the 3rd June we were joined by Bishop David who had been walking around the diocese meeting with parishioners.
19th July the day of our Church Fete in the Hawthorn Gardens. We had a good attendance and were delighted Mary was able to join us, but is still in recovery after her accident
Thank you Anne for all you did in my absence.
During the year although there were many funerals, and Baptisms, we doubled the number of weddings from last year, to two.
Our Tea Party held on the second Tuesday of the month continues to flourish. Trish Knights now has a activity table for the children. A popular addition for the children.
We welcomed the school into church for Harvest festival along with parents and in the run up to Christmas the early years children performed their nativity in front of some very proud parents. The infant children came in for a Christingle service and we all held our breath as the church lights were turned off as the children’s candles were lit. We were joined at our Carol service by the school choir.
We lost the odd slate from the roof during the storms but nothing major. A part of a tree in the church yard fell causing that part to be cordoned off for a few weeks until Cormac could remove it. The more urgent branches overhanging the path were removed within a couple of days, They have also inspected the graves and marked those that have damage due to the storm.
Bookings in the hall continue to rise with the hall now let every evening Monday to Friday.
My sincere thanks to all at Treleigh for helping Anne while I was in hospital and during my recovery. It is good to be back.
