4. The Electoral Roll 2025/26
On 31[st] March 2025 there were 45 members of the parish/individuals who worship in the parish on the electoral roll. On 31[st] March 2026 this remained at 45 (there was one removal due to the passing of the parishioner and one addition which was made in April 2025)
5. How the PCC has functioned
There have been six meetings of the PCC during the year 2025/26 (June, July, September, November, January and March) Notice of meetings has been provided to the congregation in a timely manner and there have been opportunities for members of the congregation to ask for items to be placed upon the agenda and to attend meetings of the PCC to make presentations. Safeguarding has consistently been included on the agenda at every PCC meeting. In addition, financial reports have been presented by the treasurer at each meeting. The PCC has also received reports from The House Of Hope, the Durham Diocesan Synod, Ministry activities and initiatives, Mission activities and initiatives as well as discussing and approving maintenance and repurposing. The social committee also feeds into the PCC.
Throughout the year, notable topics and points of discussion covered in PCC meetings have included:
-
ECO Church application and the achievement of Bronze Award. The PCC have appointed the secretary to lead on this initiative.
-
The use of the Church building by Action for Station Town, a charitable organisation managed by senior members of the congregation. The charity has utilised the church grounds to provide environment-based workshops for young people to deliver the Horizons Project
-
Changes to funding arrangements for the Warm Spaces programme and the impact this would have upon Saturday Church
-
The Church building programme focussing upon essential repairs to the stone masonry
-
The pooling and sharing of resources across the parishes of Wingate, Wheatley Hill, Shotton and Haswell.
-
The development of vision and mission and growing our Church (facilitated by john Cottey)

6. Finance and Reserves
The financial reports are produced by the treasurer, and the annual accounts were approved by the PCC at an extraordinary meeting on 22[nd] April 2026 having been independently examined.
When possible, the PCC retains a reserves balance which equates to three months of expected unrestricted payments.
Throughout the year the Treasurer has highlighted the reduction in income from donations. Donations can now be made to Holy Trinity using the Parish Giving Scheme and the PCC has agreed to trial a card machine as a means of making a donation; a SumUp and Give a Little account have been set up to facilitate this.
In September 2025, the PCC committee resolved to meet the increased Parish Share by adopting the Guided Pledge calculation. The adjustment represents an additional £95 per month, and it was acknowledged that declining plate donations would make fulfilling this commitment more challenging.
The PCC recognises the complexities of the Treasurer’s role and have placed on record their formal thanks for all of his work. The role has many additional complexities due to the
4
THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF HOLY TRINITY WINGATE WITH HUTTON HENRY
REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER 1209894
financial administration of the House of Hope and its associated staff salaries. Additionally, the Treasurer is involved in the Diocesan roll out of new software to support the administration of PCC financial management.
7. Mission
The Social Committee operates independently from the PCC but works closely with it by contributing ideas and organising events that actively support Holy Trinity’s mission within the parish. The Social Committee focuses on fostering community spirit and outreach by leading a variety of engaging programmes and events throughout the year. This collaborative approach helps Holy Trinity remain an integral part of parish life, maintaining contact with parishioners and reinforcing the church’s ‘all welcome’ ethos across the village.
Over the past year, the Social Committee organised a Summer Fayre featuring local music and games, a Christmas Fayre complete with craft stalls and carol singing, as well as a special wedding event that honoured couples who were married at Holy Trinity. Alongside these, the Committee led on regular suppers and festive gatherings, strengthening community bonds and offering parishioners opportunities to connect and celebrate together.
Memory Café meets monthly, offering support to people with dementia alongside their carers; this has developed and maintained strong links with Divine Care Home.
Saturday Church has become an established aspect of the Warm Spaces foodbank Initiative. The Outside Team operates via Saturday Church and are active in maintaining the church grounds. The work of the Outside Team has been fundamental in achieving the Eco Church Bronze Award and in addition to this the team have also achieved and RHS community garden award and recognition from Durham County Council in the category of community volunteers.
The House of Hope continues to grow as a plant church. The congregation has increased in number as have the number of services and events which have taken place throughout the year. The leadership of the House of Hope provide regular updates to the PCC and a representative of this team is a member of the PCC.
8. Annual Fabric Report
Throughout the 12 months since the last APCM considerable attention has been given to assessing the stonemasonry and general repair of the outside of the building. In addition, all repairs and maintenance have been carried out on a rolling schedule.
General Maintenance and Repairs
5
THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF HOLY TRINITY WINGATE WITH HUTTON HENRY
REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER 1209894
-
Pipe work in the kitchen area has been repaired
-
The toilet has been repaired
-
An outside tap has been installed to assist the Outdoors Team and the maintenance of the Church grounds
-
The outside door, which allows access to the organ motor, has been repaired
-
Rodent extermination was carried out
-
The Fire Alarm System was serviced in July 2025
-
Cleaning continues to be carried out by volunteers and the main cleaning days are Friday. This is proving increasingly challenging and di\icult and is something which needs to be under constant review.
-
The heaters have been serviced
-
The organ has been serviced
Faculty Applications and Actions
-
In August a faculty was granted for the removal of 6 pews to create a cupboard and storage space. This work has now been completed, and funds have been raised from the sale of the pews.
-
Advice was gained around the instillation of water butts, but it was deemed to be unlikely that a faculty application would be granted as this would involve drilling into the drainpipes which are wrought iron.
Building Issues
A crack in the pillar on the front porch of the Church led to a full review of all stonemasonry by David Francis stone mason. Numerous issues were identified and presented to the PCC in September 2025 where it was agreed that the cost of the repairs (in excess of £80 000) was beyond PCC means.
The PCC reached out to Steve Hill Consultants a known company who support churches in securing funding and in project managing significant building works. An application was also made to request support from the Church Building Support Officer. The secretary has met with Martin Howard the Buildings for Mission Secretary at the Diocese, and a decision has been made to apply for funding directly rather than through a consultant.
9. Worship during 2025
Throughout the year the PCC has provided many activities for the worshipping community and the wider public. The former include regular services of worship on each Sunday and Wednesday morning, plus extra services during major festivals

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF HOLY TRINITY WINGATE WITH HUTTON HENRY
REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER 1209894
including Christmas and Easter. We also share a monthly service with All Saints Wheatley Hill.
10. The House of Hope
The House of Hope is a church planted by the Parochial Church Council of Holy Trinity Wingate. The PCC is legally responsible for governing this church but we have a Steering Committee of House of Hope members who look after day to day running.
The House of Hope opened in 2022. This is a new church in Thornley and is open during the daytime Monday to Thursday and on Sunday afternoon, when we have the main worship service. During the week the church is open for a variety of informal social meetings, bible teaching, prayer and worship. During school holidays there are often children’s activity days and coach trips.
The House of Hope is led by Rev’d Daniel Hudson who is employed in this post by the PCC.
The church is established in Youll House which is rented from Thornley Parish Council.
11. Treasurers Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2025
Holy Trinity, Wingate
The House of Hope, Thornley
When the PCC agreed to handle the finances of the House of Hope in Thornley in 2021 we were instructed that all related funds should be kept in a restricted fund of the PCC accounts. However I was later informed that this was not correct, and so at the start of 2025 the non-grant moneys of the House of Hope were now to be regarded as a designated (unrestricted) account. So on opening the House of Hope accounts on 1[st] January 2025 the funds regarded as unrestricted by the House of Hope were transferred from the Holy Trinity House of Hope Restricted Fund to a new Holy Trinity House of Hope Designated fund. This amount was £7,591.16. This reduced the House of Hope Restricted Fund from £25,3014.05 to £17,712.89.
Furthermore on 1[st] January 2025 the SDF grant income claimed by the House of Hope from the DDBF (Durham Diocese Board of Finance) to pay the salary and on costs of the Plant Lead was placed in a new restricted fund. Similarly £100.00 per month claimed against the House of Hope Craft & Chat sessions was also placed in a new restricted fund. These funds therefore started at zero and also ended at zero on 31[st] December 2025. Note also that the funds to pay the Plant Lead in December 2024 were claimed but not paid by DDBF until January 2025. The House of Hope paid the Plant Lead (and also HMRC PAYE and NI) from general unrestricted funds at the end of December 2024, and when the grant was eventually received from DDBF it was paid back into House of Hope unrestricted fund (shown as DDBF/SDF Refunds 2.4 Plant Lead 2024).

This year I have also separated the reports for both churches, so there is a Statement of Financial Activities for each church, and also a combination of the two. The two churches use the same bank accounts, so the bank reconciliation relates to both churches.
Consequently the financial statements relating to Holy Trinity Wingate show a better reflection of the financial situation as all moneys relating to The House of Hope have been removed and are reported separately. Thus the figures reported are very much lower than in 2024.
In 2026 we are also trialling Durham Diocese implementation of a cloud-based church accounting system. This regards the two churches as separate entities sharing a common bank account. We also shall report a separate Return of Parish Finance for each church, along with other Parish Returns.
Holy Trinity, Wingate
While the ‘bottom line’ of Holy Trinity’s Receipts and Payments report shows an increase from £33,744.44 (2024) to £34,710.77 (2025) this is misleading. Regular giving has dropped by nearly £5,000. This has been partly offset by Gift Aid tax refunds claimed for 2023 and 2024. Fees retained from weddings and funerals has also dropped by over £900.
Grant income has risen from £6405 to over £11,000 but most of this is restricted. About £1,000 of ‘Warm Welcome’ restricted funds has been used to offset energy costs during the colder months. This can be repeated in 2026 if necessary.
Once again Holy Trinity paid slightly more than its pledged Parish Share to Durham Diocese.
The House of Hope, Thornley
In 2025 The House of Hope relied less on grant income than previously. In 2024 we spent nearly £10,000 of grants from the DDBF on energy and equipment costs, and bought other equipment with grant money obtained independently. In 2025 DDBF grant money funded only the Plant Lead and £1,100 activity costs, so we paid for all our utility bills with money we had raised. We have still managed to raise our unrestricted balance by about £2,000 to almost £10,000.
The budgeted DDBF grant money was due to ‘run out’ at the end of February 2026. The DDBF agreed to pay the Plant Lead for two additional months, while awaiting the outcome of their application to the national C of E for more funding. We now know that further funding has been granted, and so with the balance of the previous C of E grant we will be able to draw on £110,860 during the next three years. This, with locally raised funding, should cover the employment of the Plant Lead, the rent and general operating costs for the next three years.

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF HOLY TRINITY WINGATE WITH HUTTON HENRY
REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER 1209894
In 2025 The House of Hope raised all its costs except for the Plant Lead salary and on costs, the rent to Thornley Parish Council, plus £1,100 activity costs. All other costs were covered by money raised locally. Beside the normal donations box, we are raising an increasing amount through card payments and also we operate Parish Giving.
Aspire Accounting in Barnard Castle handle our payroll admin function, but Salary, Pension, PAYE and NI costs are paid through the PCC accounts by the treasurer.
The DDBF grant money comes from the Strategic Development Fund of the Church of England, which is drawn down as per a budget agreed by the DDBF and the C of E. This funding decreases from year to year, so The House of Hope will need to use this money wisely and increase its unrestricted fund in 2026 and 2027 so as to meet the need in 2028.
The future
Holy Trinity Church hopes to meet an increased Parish Share in 2026, and there may be additional costs on the stonework of the church. We are exploring the possibility of raising grant income to pay for this. We have planned a full year of social activities to raise money.
During 2026 we hope to still have Revd Shaun Conlon as Interim Change Minister for the parishes of Wingate, Wheatley Hill, Shotton Colliery and Haswell. We do not yet know what changes will be brought about, but they are likely to bring about a closer relationship between all 4 churches.
The House of Hope has secured new grant funding for the three years 2026 to 2028 and we expect to be able to grow and fully fund our costs and activities. During 2025 we hosted placements for two 3[rd] year ordinands, one who was ordained at Petertide 2025 and the second to be ordained at York Minster in 2026.
While we ask “what will happen after 2028”, we are providing a church for those in Thornley and finding new disciples. In 2025 we had ordinands, Ministry Experience Volunteers and still have church members undergoing training in theology. We are building relationships with other village organisations. We are hoping to build a stronger relationship with other churches, especially in our deanery. We do not yet know what our future status in our diocese will be. There may be changes to the way we are funded and how we are led. But we intend to remain a House of Hope in a place where it is sorely needed.
