All Saints Church, Totley

Aims and Purpose

The PCC's objects are to promote the ecclesiastical parish within the whole mission of the Church. It is committed to enabling the Church to reach as many people in Totley Parish and beyond with the good news of Jesus, so they may come to know Him as their Lord and Saviour, and so that the Church might be a blessing to the area—both for those involved in our Church family and those who currently simply benefit from living nearby.

Our activities include our weekly Sunday morning service, children's work specifically aimed at young people, two youth groups on Friday evenings, weekly Bible study groups to help people grow in faith and godliness, a monthly church family prayer meeting, a toddler group, nutrition ministry, the Natter group for the over-60s, a midweek communion service for those unable to attend on Sunday mornings or those seeking a quieter, reflective time, and a group for those exploring the Christian faith through evangelistic courses. We also host church family picnics, social events, and engagement activities throughout the year.

Electoral Roll Review

Last year there were 104 people on the electoral roll. This year – a renewal year – there are currently 106 people on the electoral roll, which is an encouraging sign. Our average weekly attendance in October 2025 was 151 , reflecting ongoing growth. We are thankful for this, and the continued engagement of our congregation.

Corporate Worship

We have seen continued growth throughout 2025, with higher in-person attendance at Sunday services compared to previous years. This is a great joy for which we give thanks. It is especially encouraging that many of those who have started attending were not previously regular churchgoers. A significant number have moved to the area from Hong Kong or elsewhere in the UK and have integrated into our Sunday church family, many also joining Growth Groups and serving in various ministries.

In 2025, we covered a wide range of biblical teaching, focusing on Mark, Leviticus, Hebrews, Luke, Nehemiah, Genesis and a topical series on Giving. Our church day

All Saints Totley 2025 Annual Report and Accounts

away was a wonderful opportunity to strengthen bonds within our church family. Attendance in Growth Groups has increased, leading to a new day time group.

Church Staff

Rob Marsden has already made a significant impact, leading the Children and Youth Ministry Team, and launching / overseeing the 2 new youth groups on Friday nights. He reformed Sunday morning children’s group by improving the quality of teaching, and structures that support and resource this ministry.

In January we appointed a part-time site keeper, contracted for six hours per week. Their contribution has already made a tangible difference to site and grounds upkeep, complementing the valuable voluntary work across our buildings and facilities.

As a result of receiving grant funding, the PCC also approved the appointment of a part-time PA/administrator with an appointment process beginning December ‘25.

Rob and I are supported by a team of dedicated volunteers - including the Reverend Philip Robertson who was granted Permission to Officiate (PTO) in 2024 - greatly aiding occasional offices. I am further assisted by two Readers and many hard-working volunteers, including a volunteer p/t admin, Claudia Demuth.

Outreach

We participated in local community events such as the Joint Churches Joy Fun Day and the Totley Show.

Annual events continued, with increasing attendance:

• Easter Events, including an Easter Family Fun Day and a large Easter Sunday service meant that for a third consecutive year we recorded our largest Easter figures on record.

Additionally, we ran the 321 Course in a local pub. Through this we had 7 candidates for confirmation, adult baptism or reception into the Anglican Church in November.

We maintained strong relationships with both local primary schools, offering key services and assemblies throughout the year.

Mission Partners

All Saints supports a combination of mission causes (charities) and mission partners (individuals). In 2025:

Building and Facilities

All Saints Church comprises a 101-year-old church building and a church hall built in the 1960s and extended in the 1990s. Space constraints remain a challenge, particularly with growing children’s ministry so we have improved storage capacity by reorganising and utilising outdoor sheds.

Key developments in 2025 include:

Safeguarding

Safeguarding remains a top priority. Liz Hayden continues as Parish Safeguarding Officer, with Sophie Bryant as Deputy Parish Safeguarding Officer. They report regularly to the PCC, and we reaffirm our commitment to being vigilant and transparent in safeguarding practices, listening to and caring for survivors and vulnerable individuals in our church and community.

Conclusion

2025 has been a year of growth, mission, and celebration for All Saints Church. We have seen increased attendance, expanded ministries, and deepened engagement within the church and wider community. As we move forward, we continue to trust in God’s provision and seek His wisdom in the work He has set before us.

We give thanks to God for His faithfulness and to all who serve and support the mission of All Saints Church, Totley.

Trustees Report 2025

Please see Page 2 for list of PCC members.

The full PCC met six times during the last financial year, and held one further extraordinary meeting. Sub-committees such as Finance, Maintenance, Mission, and Wardens met between PCC meetings; with reports of their deliberations received and discussed by the full PCC where necessary.

Organisational structure has been a key focus during the past year. Roles have been identified and filled to enable a more streamlined functionality of the church. Volunteer Officers have been appointed in areas such as buildings and grounds, hall bookings, health and safety, information (Data/ICT), policies and supplies.

A site keeper was contracted to look after the grounds and any repairs required. The latest staff member due to be added to the team will be a PA/Administrator in 2026 to free up staff to focus on pastoral care, preaching and mission, as well as strengthening communication and reliability in administration.

A number of jobs have been carried out on the buildings and grounds such as roof repairs, resurfacing of the drive, and more. Policies are updated regularly and new policies introduced, as required.

The children’s and youth minister has shared with the PCC all the great work being accomplished at All Saints Totley with the children and youth, across the local schools, and new developments, such as the two new youth groups set up this year.

Much discussion on the future building needs of the church took place this year, looking at how to expand capacity for our growing church, improve heating and toilet facilities in the main church building and / or hall. After a consultation and many discussions, a working group has been formed, supported by the architect, to deliver a full feasibility report on potential options in 2026.

Treasurer’s Report 2025

2025 has been an encouraging year in the life of All Saints Totley for which we give thanks to God. We have been blessed as new families and individuals join us to learn more of God’s love and salvation plan. Rob Marsden (CYFM) has expanded the scope and reach of our young people’s ministries leading to increased engagement and numerical growth.

Multiple events were held throughout the year, such as Easter Family Fun and a Sunday picnic, allowing church family, and those in our community, to develop friendships and have fellowship together. A subsidised Church Day away in the Peak District provided an opportunity for all in the church family to spend an informal time together.

Much of the developments at All Saints have only been made possible through the generous financial support of church family members and external grant funders. At the start of 2025 our financial aims were to create a sustainable funding base for our various ministries; increase our gifts to mission partners to 10% of regular income; and commission an initial options appraisal to determine how best to develop facilities to accommodate our growing congregation within our main building and hall – as well as cater for all communities benefitting more widely from our space, activities, and outreach.

For this financial year, we budgeted an income of £164,770 . This figure includes external funding obtained for Rob Marsden as our new CYFM (we were successful in securing additional support through the Diocese of Sheffield Mission Enabler Grant Fund). Multiple one-off donations further boosted our cash income to £187,890 - of which £34,206 is restricted to our vital youth and children’s work, or future capital works.

Cash expenditure for 2025 was budgeted at £151,509 . This figure was projected by the Finance Team which adopted a cautious yet optimistic outlook, after much discussion and consultation. The draft budget was presented to the PCC for approval November 2024.

Naturally, as our congregation and areas of ministry expand, our variable and running costs will increase. One of the bigger unbudgeted costs this year was resurfacing the church drive, making our facilities safer and more accessible.

Page 9 of 19

All Saints Totley 2025 Annual Report and Accounts

Repairs to the church roof, future capital feasibility studies, and support of struggling families also added to our costs. Our total cash expenditure was £167,931.

Our 2025 year-end cash surplus was £19,957 . As part of good financial

stewardship, AST puts aside an agreed amount yearly into Designated Reserve Funds (DRF) to cover known and unknown expense increases in future years. In 2025, £15,943 was added to the DRF (including interest). With £6,001 utilised in 2025, DRF now stands at £29,550.

At year-end 2025, our church is in a good financial position with no outstanding liabilities. As we look beyond 2026, we are conscious of future cost pressures e.g. further resourcing of our vital Youth and Children’s Minister; set increases in our Common Fund Contribution; and a potential phased Capital Build Project covering both the church and the hall – to support our increasing needs by developing facilities further over the next few years. As such, it seems prudent to put aside an amount each year (as God provides) into a designated Capital Build Fund to help this development – the Treasurer therefore moved the 2025 residual balance of £10,017 into this Fund.

Our Financial Approach

With the support of the Finance Team, the Treasurer has worked hard this year to improve financial procedures and processes.

One key area is our reserves policy (available on request) which upholds our Christian values and Charity Commission guidance (that a church uses its reserves for charitable purposes and within a reasonable timeframe (unless the funds in question are held as capital endowment)). Our PCC, supported by the Finance SubCommittee, have sought to find an appropriate balance - considering our risk tolerance, our capacity for loss, our risk requirements, and all timeframes. Following consideration, we hold various reserves, to ensure that

On this basis, a total of £70,282 has been set aside in reserves, for 2026, to cover the eventualities outlined above, in various funds, maintained by the Treasurer, and overseen by the PCC.

Notes to the Accounts

Accounting Policies

The accounts have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis and comprise the charity's receipts and payments, the charity's assets and liabilities, and related notes. This approach provides a straightforward summary of cash movements without the complexities of accrual accounting. It is important for readers to understand that these accounts are intended to offer transparency regarding receipts and payments, rather than a comprehensive assessment of financial position.

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.

Transactions to Related Parties

There were no transactions to related parties during the accounting period.
