## **Annual Report** 

Camp Hill Church has had an amazing and fruitful first full calendar Year in 2025, since re-opening in October 2024, with much to celebrate. 

The aim to establish a Worshipping Community to serve the residents of Camphill: 

We ended 2025 on a high: in December, Rev Tris Peattie, formally Curate at Camphill, was licenced as Associate Vicar of Camp Hill Parish Church, by Bishop Sophie Jelley, with the Bishop’s Chaplain Rev Alastair Prince, and a congregation of 82 people in attendance. (Rev Dave Poultney remains Priest in Charge.) 

Over the year, weekly Sunday Services attendance grew to an average of 56 people, seeing many new faces from the locality join with us, including 14 children/young people. The Church had the privilege of baptising 8 adults and youths by full immersion and have supported 2 youths through to confirmation. 

The community has now navigated a first calendar year, establishing patterns of services, celebration and prayer across Lent, Easter, Summer, and our re-opening Anniversary. The 10:30 Sunday service has a consistent and welcoming feel with an established pattern and style suited to the local context, and is neurofriendly. Of these, one is an all age communion service each month. 

Rich Moores and Vicky Bolton have served the church well in preaching and service leading with Tris. We were sad to see Vicky leave in December, moving on to new adventures new in YWAM Harpenden. 

Sung worship has been beautiful, with a team of around 12 people, who have faithfully set up and down for services in the Church Hall as we await the permanent use of our Church Building. 

The Welcome and Hospitality team, now numbering 16 volunteers, has served hot drinks and welcomed people into the Church and continues to grow under Caroline Moores’ leadership. 

Within our Thursday Home group, we have prayed together, planned events, completed the Prayer course, a Lent Course and plans are underway for a second home group to be established in Galley Common. 

Cosy Community, funded by WRCC Warm hubs, continues to be a popular place, building community for over 20 people, offering activities, input from community organisations such as Fire, Police, Council, Health and Finance support, as well as being a place to help people overcome isolation and feel connected.  We have seen people connect with services through this. This has been excellently run by Janet Popejoy, who, with Geoff Popejoy, has continued to engage with the networking groups running in Nuneaton. 

The 9.30-10am Wednesday prayer meeting continued throughout the year in the church building allowing us a place to pray for our community and support people in need with prayer. 

Matt Stevens has continued as treasurer and Ray Mak has done a huge amount of the day to day finances as deputy treasurer.  A great deal of work has gone into professionalising our finance and recording systems through a tool called Expense Plus. 

The mobile Food Pantry, provided by Feed the Hungry, has continued to support many people on a Friday working from our shop area purpose-built in our Church Hall, offering wraparound support, food, and community to people in the area. We have continued to support this project with volunteers. The future remains uncertain for this project in 2026, therefore discussion continues as to how people can be supported if this project ends in March 2026. 

Camphill Community CIC have continued to run youth groups out of the Church Hall on Monday and Wednesday Evenings, as did Positive Impact for a time on a Tuesday evening. 



Improvements made:  Outside the Church Hall we have invested in CCTV equipment and motion sensitive lights to make the public car park safer and address anti-social behaviour around the building. We have also installed a required emergency safety light above the fire door. 

We have improved and updated our Music and sound equipment for people using the Church hall. 

We have been working with building contractors Mayway who have produced architectural plans for the muchneeded restoration and updating of the main church building looking at a phased approach. Various surveys and plans have been completed. We have also partnered with Together For Change in Coventry who are supporting this ambitious project that will benefit the community, employing a project manager Chloe Scanlon and providing additional support fund raising as well. In the future we hope to have a new roof, an additional joining building with cafe available to the community, increased office space, a creche area and area for SEND provision. 

Tris has led assemblies at Camp Hill Primary School quarterly through the different seasons, keeping the good working relationship going. 

The council-run CHESS centre opposite the Church shared a Christmas Fair event that was well attended by the community and enjoyed by all, and a promising partnership is forming to serve the community. 

We employed a Growing Faith Worker, Reece Dixon, in September 2025, on a part time basis with a threeyear outlook, through a diocese grant, to work with families, Camp Hill Primary School and the Church.   We were able to start a Sunday evening youth Club as a result. In the future we hope to have a SEND group, a stay and play group and an after school club running in Camp Hill primary school as well. 

Alice our Parish Administrator has continued to do excellent work behind the scenes, as community members book the hall for private parties and supporting the administration and running of the Church and stepping into a further role as PCC secretary. 

Tris and Dave would like to thank the amazing people who attend as part of this community, who volunteer and who have stepped up to be part of the incredible work God is doing changing lives and bringing hope. 

## **Staff Team** 

One new member of staK joined the parish team in 2025. Funding for this has largely been from successful grant applica3ons. Alongside clergy the staK team includes: 

Alice Farnhill – Parish Administrator, 0.32 FTE 

Reece Dixon - Growing Faith Worker, 0.64 FTE 

## **Risk Assessment** 

The PCC Trustees ac3vely review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and are working to create adequate opera3onal Cnancial reserves to cover risks by encouraging sacriCcial giving and making par3cipants aware of the Cnancial wellbeing of the parish ministry. With outstanding and dedicated eKort our Treasurer, Deputy Treasurer (Mr Raymond Mak), and Parish Administrator have con3nued to improve Cnancial procedures providing the PCC with conCdence in its Cnancial situa3onal analysis.   In 2025 we held our Crst GiL Sunday and worked to encourage further engagement with members and the variety of ways to support the Church Cnancially. 

Careful considera3on has been made to con3nue to reduce costs while not impairing the ministry of the parish; and the PCC believes that maintaining its quarterly and annual reviews of the controls over key 



Cnancial systems will provide suFcient resources in the event of adverse condi3ons. The trustees have also examined other opera3onal and business risks which they face and are establishing a new risk assessment system to mi3gate the risks by providing a model and training to parishioners. This is par3cularly the case with safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults as the parish has maintained currency with the developing Church of England prac3ce and procedure. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs. This is based on the charity's size and the level of Cnancial commitments held. The trustees’ aim has been to ensure that the charity will be able to con3nue to fulCl its charitable objec3ves, even if there is a temporary shorNall in income or unexpected expenditure. The PCC Trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily and have successfully met their objec3ves in the informed use of the resources at their disposal. Currently, there is more than 6 months in reserves to support church running expenses. 

## **Safeguarding Report** 

Safeguarding our children, young people and adults at risk in Camp Hill Parish is a priority for the OFce Holders and PCC Members. We adhere to the Diocesan and Na3onal policies and guidelines. We have complied with our duty under Sec3on 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016. All those visi3ng and working with vulnerable adults require DBS clearance and need to a0end training, and have regular supervision. Our Safeguarding records are regularly updated, as we work hard to bring all volunteers into compliance with training requirements. 

Every eKort is being made to help those who work with adults in a pastoral context to understand the necessity and the rigours of our Safeguarding Policy. We con3nue to work on risk assessments and keep our policies up to date. It is essen3al that we all con3nue to be vigilant in all ma0ers rela3ng to safeguarding in Camp Hill so that our community may con3nue to grow in Christ in a safe environment. We have liaised and been supported by the Diocese Safeguarding Team as cases have come in. 

Our current priori3es are to: 

- Recruit a new Safeguarding OFcer. 

- Maintain and record up to date training in Basic, Founda3on and Leadership safeguarding for all who require it. 

- Monitor and encourage the renewal of DBS checks every 3 years via the update service. 

- Complete safe recruitment checks (including DBS) for new volunteers and eligible roles. 

- Keep the parish dashboard up to date, reviewed at each PCC mee3ng. 

- Con3nue an Annual safeguarding Sunday. 

Mrs Caroline Moore stepped down as the Parish safeguarding OFcer, with Revd Dave Poultney and Rev Tris Pea*e oKering supervision and support to ensure that as a team the Parish implements best prac3ce across all volunteering roles. Alice Farnhill has become the data controller and greatly assists in administering safeguarding policy. 



## **Electoral Roll Report for 2025** 

In 2024 we had a membership of 15, of which 2 were non-residen3al members. As of April 2025 and following the full renewal of membership required, there are 37 people on the electoral roll, of which 16 are from outside the parish. 

## **Nuneaton Deanery Synod Report** 

This year the deanery has met three 3mes.  Our Deanery Synod member is Richard Moores. There have been three synod gatherings this year. As a deanery we have been focusing on implemen3ng our Deanery Mission Plan. Our mee3ng this year have focused on the follows: - 

- February – Lay Training and Training Pathways 

- May – Quiet Revival - How can we inspire and share this good news with others in our churches? 

- November – Rural Church and some of the successes, joys and challenges. 

We have twenty-six parishes in Nuneaton Deanery and have several vacancies. For news about what goes on at Nuneaton Deanery and detailed minutes of all mee3ngs can be found on their web site 

www.nuneaton-deanery.org.uk. The deanery welcomed a day visit from Rt Rev Sophie Jelley Bishop of Coventry. 



## **Fabric and Buildings Report for the Annual Mee2ng** 

Throughout the year, regular checks and maintenance have con3nued to ensure the safety, security, and good stewardship of both the church and the church hall. Weekly inspec3ons of the buildings were carried out every Wednesday, with par3cular a0en3on to security, signs of damage, and general safety. Fire alarms in the hall were tested weekly, and electricity meters in both buildings were read monthly. Roof drains on the hall and the church were cleared and checked each month to prevent blockages and water ingress. 

## **Major Works and Inspec2ons** 

## **January** 

- Mayway carried out a detailed inspec3on of the church roof and interior. They iden3Ced that the leakage issues were caused by the shallow sumps at the downpipe ends of the roof gullies. 

- A further visit included a specialist assessment of the church window frames, many of which were found to be ro0en and in need of a0en3on. 

- RG Electrics replaced wall sockets in the church and iden3Ced an issue with heater outlets in the lower vestry, which had been omi0ed from the main distribu3on board. A return visit was arranged to correct this. 

- Installa3on of CCTV system around the Church Hall. This gives addi3onal security to staK and volunteers. There has been a number of incidents over the preceding 12 months that have sadly led this to be a necessity. 

## **February–April** 

- New racking was installed in the hall storage cupboard, increasing storage capacity. 

- RG Electrics completed their work in the church, including addi3onal double sockets in the lower vestry. 

- The entrance hallway of the hall was repainted in orange. 

- A garden team from YWAM carried out valuable grounds maintenance, removing saplings close to the church walls and clearing grass between the slabs in front of the hall. 

- SmarNix removed carpets and Sooring in the lower vestry in prepara3on for further work. 

## **August–October** 

- Drains around the hall were cleared of debris. 

- Addi3onal water ingress was noted in the church roof in September. 

- In October, Alex cleaned the church roof gullies, and further drain clearing was carried out. Despite heavier rainfall, water levels inside the church were no3ceably reduced. 

- Octopus Energy a0empted to replace the hall meters but were unable to do so due to oversized main fuses. 

## **November** 

- Mayway reinspected the church roof and conCrmed the interior remained dry. 

- The Na3onal Grid replaced the main fuses in the hall. 

- A banner moun3ng rail was installed over the stage in the hall. 

## **December** 

- Chloe from Mayway a0ended with an electrical specialist to assess the church’s electrical systems. 

- A new convector heater for the hall was ordered from PlumbNa3on at a cost of £167 and installed to replace the broken unit. 



## **General Observa2ons** 

The programme of regular checks and responsive maintenance has contributed to a no3ceable improvement in the condi3on of the Church Hall and to an extent the church as well. Par3cularly in managing water ingress in the church. Con3nued a0en3on to drainage, electrics, and fabric integrity remains essen3al, and the PCC is grateful to all contractors, volunteers, and church members who have supported this work throughout the year. 

## **Financial Review: Ma7 Stevens** 

In 2025 the PCC’s total income was £87,522 (similar to £87,783 in 2024) and its expenditure was £45,884 (down from £56,055 in 2023). The PCC’s total funds increased from £58,924 to £100,562 at the year end. 

The PCC’s sources of income were: dona3ons, including giL aids, (£32,964); grants (£23,135); hall le*ngs (£8,700); and the return on investments on our endowment fund, held by the CCLA and invested in the CBF Investment Fund (£1,273). 

Also of note is the further funding of £12,000 from the LINCS funding grant we received from the Coventry Diocese, which was the Cnal lot of LINCS funding currently approved for the church. This funding was to help support the on-going church running expenses as the church ini3ally formed and grew and is intended to be replaced by dona3ons, and other income sources, in the coming year. Dona3ons went from contribu3ng 10% of our income last year to about 40% this year. Main contribu3ons are either through the Parish Giving Scheme, as planned giving (£23,815), and Sunday oKerings during services, digital and cash (£8,874). 

In prepara3on to re-open services using the main Church Building, a Church Building project was setup. To support Phase 0 of the work, the PCC has approved the release of a further £20,910 from the Endowment Fund in 2025. This is to be transferred to Together For Change under the Church Building Project as per the Memorandum of Understanding approved by PCC. 

In 2025, the total spent on building refurbishment was £9,038, and building repairs and maintenance was £2,693. Other signiCcant expenditures are church running expense of £21,076, staK and clergy costs of £13,426 (of which £4,994 towards the Growing Faith Worker (which are covered by restricted Lincs funding for the next 3 years approved by the Bishops strategy Integra3on group for a total of £62,500- These funds will be released to Camp Hill quarterly over the term), and mission costs of £1,480 (of which £371 towards warm hub costs is supported by Warm Hub funding, and £832 towards youth and children’s work are provided by the grant from WCC of £5000. 

Regarding the u3lity bills of both the church hall and church building, the PCC decided to switch the energy supplier from SSE to Octopus due to on-going challenges in account management and diFculty in reques3ng billing adjustments. We were billed for a total of £22,282 in 2025 based on es3mated meter readings and aLer switching in September to the new supplier, who oKer100% green energy with lower rates, the billing issue was then resolved and we received a refund of £24,142 from SSE in December. Hence, there is a -£1,860 recorded under u3lity bills in 2025. 

In 2025, we started to make contribu3ons towards the Parish Share. We pledged £2,000 for 2024 and £2,000 2025' Therefore the PCC contributed £4,000 to the Parish Share. In addi3on to this as income from giving exceeded expecta3on the PCC approved on review a further dona3on of £4000 in November 2025 bringing the total paid to £8000 to parish Share. (The PCC has approved to contribute £11,000 in 2026 with further review expected towards the end of the year.) 



The PCC will con3nue to work towards running the church on a sustainable Cnancial basis. In the coming year, with the switch to a new energy supply and installa3on of smart meters, we are expec3ng the annual energy expenses to go down further. 

As we go forward it will be easier to budget with more accurate expecta3ons as we have now seen and received a full year of giving from Sunday Church services, the hope and expecta3on is these contribu3ons will con3nue to grow and we completed our Crst giL Sunday in 2025.  We expect Hall le*ngs to decrease in 2026 as the Community food pantry project is due to end in April 2026. 



Approved by order of the board of the PCC on 17th March 2026 and signed on its behalf by:

The accountancy profession have determined that only accounts prepared in accordance with applicable accoun3ng standards present a 'true and fair' view and, as these receipts and payments accounts have not (and cannot) be prepared in accordance with accoun3ng standards, these accounts do not present (and are not intended to present) a 'true and fair' view of the charity's Cnancial ac3vi3es and state of aKairs.
