OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Vision Statement
Saint Mary's Southampton is a community following Jesus, playing our part in the renewal of
Southampton.
We arenl just here to build a church, we are here to transfomi a city. Church was never meant to
becontained in a building, it was meant to flow out and pemieate society, uplifting and bringing
hope to everyone.
We believe that Southampton can be known as a city where people love their neighbour, where
people experience forgiveness and so they forgive, where kindness is rife and generosity common.
Where the young and old are filled with purpose and the rich and poor ovefflow with compassion.
We believe that in Southampton Jesus is making all things new and we long to see every citizen of
our cily marching logether with all of the saints singing "we've found a LOVE Ihal has changed
EVERYTHINGI" Because with Jesus, the best is yet to comel
Public Benefit Statement
All of our activilies are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit. In
planning our activities for the year we have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on
public benefrt, including the guidance 'Public Benefit. Running a Charity IPB2)' and, in particular,
the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Review of the Year
SAINT MARYS LODGE ROAD
In January 2024 the staff team were able to access St Barnabas Church (hereafter known as
'Lodge Road,) for the first time. This was followed by 6 weeks of hard work from the staff team and
volunteers to clear the building of disused fumiture and waste that had collected over the previous
few years. Faculties were approved for the repainting of the ancillary rooms in preparation for them
becoming offices.
After a challenge getting the gas reconnected to the church, the heating system was rebooted and
the building became inhabitable. The office of Saint Mary's formally moved from 135 Sl Mary
Street into Lodge Road and 135 was returned to the Diocese for sale.
Unfortunately the building was in a greater state of disrepair than previously estimated, with
significant leaks appearing in various areas throughout the church, the discovery of asbestos in the
flooring tiles, an electrical system in need of urgent rewire, and insufficient facilities for modern
use.
Over the following 6 months, plans were drawn up for the full refurbishment of the building to
prepare it for the missional plan, and repairs to the infrastructure to ensure the long-term viability of
the physical structure.
In August 2024 a temporary roof was put in place over the 'slage' (complete with drainage system
for the indoor rainl) and temporary plywood partitions down the aisles to make safe the areas
where part of the plasterboard roof had fallen.
Afier structural surveys, a further electrical report and several risklfire assessments, the
building was able to open to the public for Sunday services at the beginning of October. The doors
opened, welcoming in the local community alongside existing members of Saint Mary's who had
been praying for this day for four years.
sin￿ then it has become home to the weekly Play Café, monthly Collective gatherings and weekly
Meeting Place and Clothing Bank, in addrtion to the 11am Sunday seNice.
SUNDAYS & WORSHIP
In June 2024 Rev. Katy Horne joined the staff team as Associate Vicar, supporting Rev. Jon Finch
in the leadership of the church. Katy has brought a wealth of experience to the role, and will be
primarily focussed on pastoral care as well as overall leadership and Sundays oversight.
Throughout 2024 there was a steady increase in attendan￿ at the 10.30 service at Chapel Road
and in October the decision was made to launch a new 11am seNice at Lodge Road. We are one
church, across two localions. This was wamly re￿iVed by the congregation with approximately 30
people committing to the new location. sin￿ then attendance has risen to approximately 50 each
week, including people from the local community visiting for the first time. Kids, provision has been
available each Sunday in the hall and several local families have been attending as a result.
The impact at Chapel Road has increased the capacity at the 10.30am service, enabling more
families to attend, and Saints Kids has consistently seen between 60 & 70 kids each week.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The 9.15 Servi￿ has remained steady throughout the year, welcoming new members from a wide
age range.
The 6pm service has been steady throughout the year, with students bringing their housemates
and fellow students to faith. More than 20 Bibles have been given out and the majority of those
attending Alpha in the September temi were from the Collective demographic118-291. The autumn
temi always brings a rise in student numbers, some of them attending church for the first time.
ALPHA & ADDITIONAL COURSES (marriage, pre-marriage, bereavement, CAP)
The marriage and pre-marriage courses ran twice last year, and the Bereavement course ran in
the January temi. Alpha has run through the January and September terms, with a high number of
collective demographic attending, including those from Bridge the Gap.
CAP money ran in the evening of the spring temi and attracted a small group who were very
positively impacted by the course, growing vital skills in managing their money. In the September
temi, the Way of Leadership course ran to develop leaders within the community and help them
grow in their discipleship and calling.
PRISON MINISTRY
Led by Ordinand Emily Stewart, the prison ministry team continues to grow with Alpha running
each term and new volunteers joining the team. Each term at least one person has given their life
to Jesus. Emily has also been working with the safeguarding team to enable prison leavers to
integrate in the community.
SAINTS IN THE CITY
Saints in the City has had a busy year, with 3 community banquets cooked by and for members of
the Meeting Pla￿. The Meeting pla￿ continues to flourish, with the social prescribers, community
chaplain, Clear and Dentaid regularfy offering additional support for the members.
A prayer room has been created on Thursdays for members wishing to spend time with God, or
receive prayer and healing from the volunteer team. This has enabled many members to open up
and created a peaceful space for people to sit and reflect.
In May, the Saints in the City Day engaged over 100 volunteers in projects across the city such as
gardening, litter picking and DIY at both Lodge Road and Chapel Road. While this was happening,
the church grounds at Chapel Road opened up to local residents for a Family Fun Day. The day
finished with a community meal together in the church with over 200 people in attendance.
Love Christmas was a huge success, delivering par￿1$ to more than 1600 households across
Southampton. Over £30,000 was raised towards the project this year.
Preparations began for the Lodge Road Meeting Place & Clothing Bank launching in January
2025.
SAINTS KIDS
Sundays have been busy for the kids team with 60 children attending most Sundays. Saints Mums
group, run by volunteers, has been meeting regularly throughout the year providing a community
for parents and caregivers.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Play Café launched at Lodge Road in December, providing a Spa￿ for caregivers and young
children to build community as well as learn stories from the bible. This has brought in many local
parents and caregivers from the local area, not otherwise connected with church.
SAINTS YOUTH
Saints YoLrth meets every Sunday for both older and younger age groups, with a small but
onnected group of teenagers exploring faith and the bible together.
On Thursdays the team launched the Saints Youth Club, available to everyone, and advertised in
local schools and colleges.
SAINTS COLLECTIVE (students and young adults)
In November the Collective team took 120 young adutts for a night away, to spend time together,
play Capture the Flag, and worship until the eady hours of the morning. The impact of the weekend
has been felt at the 6pm Se￿1￿ ever sin￿, with a number of the young adults feeling called into
leadership, and exploring their calling in other areas.
Collective nights, monthly on a Thursday, have been a Spa￿ where students and young adults
have built community, explored faith and prayed for their community and city together. The
September term at Alpha saw an unusually high number of Collective age people in attendance as
people brought along flat mates, family members and personal trainers, inviting thèm to learn more
about Jesus.
BAPTISMS
There were 38 baptisms across the year, 37 adults and 1 infant. This is the highest annual numtser
of baptisms for many yearsl
FOCUS
In July, over 200 people headed to Newark to take part in Focus, along with Lords Hill church who
amped with us. This was a great time to connect with the wider HTB ne￿Ork and spend time
together as a community.

opportunities of the building and local area becoming more visible.
LODGE ROAD
Plans for the refurbishment contr'nue, focusing on raising funds for the project and appointing the
right professionals to drive the project forward. Some intemiediary work will need to be undertaken
to repair areas of the flat roof, and rewire the electrics, to ensure the building continues to be safe
to operate in.

Emily Stewart has also been an ordinand at Saint Mary's for the past 3 years and she will continue
her curacy with Saint Mary's, moving into a full time role and remaining as servi￿ Leader of Lodge

MINISTRIES
The Meeting Pla￿ Lodge Road has been very encouraging, especially seeing local organisations
and support workers interacting with the space. The doors are open to the local community and
this has already begun to result in friendships being formed, people asking for prayer, and a desire
to engage with the wider activities of the church.
In April 2025 Saint Mary's took on the Eden Chaplaincy, after partnering wth City Life church to
see the ministry flourish. Eden is a non judgemental chaplaincy Se￿iCe operating within strip clubs

11. EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS
During the year the WDBF detemined that they would write off the di0￿Se loan in
consideration for the handing back of the parish Offi￿ which has now relocated to St Mary's
Street. This one-off exceptional item has no effect on the cash-flow of the church save for
the repayment of the loan. The eX￿ptIOnal £102,924 is reflecting as an incoming resource
but it is a capital write-off and should not be relied upon as a resource or cash-flow of the
church
