Stewards Report

Edwin Catt retired as church warden in September and had previously been responsible for preparing the various rotas associated with the weekly arrangements for the Church. Jill Howard-Duff stepped forward and offered to take up the mantle of preparing the Rotas for Stewards, Readers, Intercessors, including the most important Tea and Coffee rota for after Sunday Coffee. Currently we have a healthy group of volunteers, some of whom cover several roles on a regular basis. Each month Jill sends an email out to volunteers and ask them when they are available to help. Individuals are encouraged to swop dates if they are not able to make a pre-arranged date, and this seems to work well with everyone helping each other out.

Jill would like to extend a note of thanks to Edwin for all his past work in this area. If any members of the church would like to volunteer for any of the roles, or they would like to talk to Jill as to what is involved could they pass their details to Tina in the church office and Jill will contact them directly. Finally a big thank you goes out to all the current volunteers for keeping the rotas running reasonable smoothly.

All Saints’ Parish Church, Headley 2022-2023

Rector’s Report

What a year! As I look back over the last twelve months, I am left with one overriding impression - that the Parish of Headley is a loving one. My wife Hannah and I have felt particularly welcomed, supported, encouraged, and cared for from day one and overwhelmingly so during the time I was off unwell.

Having emerged from a long interregnum I think we need to be so grateful to the team that kept the parish functioning so smoothly during this transitional year. I say team, yet already it seems more like family to me. I want to pick out a few individuals, which of course means I’m at risk of leaving others out who equally merit praise and thanks, but nevertheless, here goes! Christine Leonard and Edwin Catt have been super Churchwardens, and since Edwin stepped down last September, Ian Jenkins has assisted Christine splendidly in his role as Deputy Churchwarden.

6

APCM Report 23[rd] April 2023

Helen Kempster is a constant source of wisdom and support, and I am particularly grateful to her for so willingly taking the reins over the four months I was off sick.

Our administrative lynchpin and all-around wonder person that is Tina Wareham works brilliantly and tirelessly on all our behalf’s and I’m ever so grateful to her for her energetic amenability. Thank you to the PCC for your essential work ensuring we operate with due diligence, to our Treasurer, Bob and Secretary, Ann, to the social committee for catering so beautifully for the countless events that have taken place, to Chris Millard for his work on the fabric of church and churchyard, to all of you I haven’t named, but should.

There weren’t many changes made in my first year as Incumbent, but I am nevertheless very grateful for the way the ASH family has adapted to the new service cards, the monthly-ish Baptism services, the recent launch of an Alpha Course and the arrival of filter coffee!

APCMs are all about looking back and celebrating what’s been but I can’t help but want to look forward to what is yet to come. Like any healthy organism we need to continue to grow - in number (grow wide), in depth of relationship to God and one another (grow deep), and we need to grow younger, so we truly reflect the demographics of our Parish (grow young). To that end, I hope that the next 12-24 months will see some new initiatives at ASH: the establishment of home groups to help us grow deeper in our discipleship and fellowship; Messy Church to encourage younger families to worship and strengthen our relationship with our largest weekly congregation - The Holme Primary School; we will continue providing pastoral care for life events, for those in need and opportunities such as seasonal festival services and the Alpha Course for people to hear, understand and respond to the Good News of the Gospel. To conclude, I thank God for this last year at ASH and all that we’ve been through together, both good and not so good, may it all be to His glory. Yann Dubreuil

CHURCH WARDENS’ REPORT 2022-2023

I don’t know whether to be relieved or sad that this is my final churchwarden’s report. This final year has certainly been the biggest roller coaster of all. Starting with an interregnum, then welcoming Yann and his family to the parish, his subsequent illness and, thank the Lord, his recovery and gradual return to full health. Edwin Catt retired in September and I have been very grateful for the help and ideas from Ian Jenkins which has eased the situation for the second half of the year.

As stated in the BOOK OF RULES it is the duty of a churchwarden, while working with the incumbent, to oversee the smooth running of the parish affairs and maintenance of the fabric of the church, churchyard, buildings and land. If it was that simple there wouldn’t be the need for such a large handbook but as we all know there are hundreds of variations to every situation.

21

APCM Report 23[rd] April 2023

The most important tool that a churchwarden has is the PCC and All Saints is fortunate to be well served by an enthusiastic team.

One of the most arduous tasks is keeping the church solvent and the accounts in order. For many years Bob Wilson has done a sterling job in understanding and administering our complicated system and I’m pleased that Keith Fairbrass has now taken over chairmanship of the finance committee and is also becoming acquainted with the vagaries of the system. Although we have fallen two months in arrears with our parish share for 2022/23 we have otherwise, under Bob’s guidance, pulled ourselves up after the disasters of covid. The figures are improving steadily and our emergency “roof falling in” fund is still intact. Over the last year there has been a steady increase in attendance at services which is reflected in the collection’s week on week. Hopefully the new faces will forgive this churchwarden for taking quite a while to remember all their names.

There have been, and always will be disagreements about the churchyard and burials but I haven’t had to resort to arresting anyone for striking someone else, or evict anyone from church for disrupting divine service, neither have I been able to use my right to graze my sheep in the churchyard. Levity aside, I’m pleased that we have now completed the formal closure of the churchyard and there only remains the need to work with EHDC in the general upkeep of the grounds, supplemented by the voluntary work organised by Chris Millard in his role as chairman of the buildings and churchyard committee. The fabric of the church is in good condition with no outstanding major projects in the offing. The church centre is not so fortunate. Like many of us, it is suffering from age related aches and pains. It is a 1960’s building and needs constant repair. The best solution would be to knock it down and build a new, fit for purpose building with all the modern greener advantages; perhaps a consideration for the future and some serious fund raising.

The social committee under Tina Wareham’s chairmanship has excelled this year with more events than ever, with a wider variety and continually improving catering, and fresh coffee!

These days safeguarding is always an issue and we’ve benefited from having Margaret Locke as safeguarding officer checking that all the PCC members are up to date with their training and making sure those who come to church and use our facilities are aware of where to go if there is a problem. This is a problem that is constantly around but not always appreciated and acted on.

From Ann’s excellent report you will see the width of subjects covered by the PCC through the year and I hope the congregation appreciate the time spent on any subject they raise.

I hope you’d agree that our Parish Magazine is a great asset and a useful tool for keeping in touch with the wider parish. This year’s increase in price has been long overdue and I hope won’t have meant a loss of subscribers. It is organised by a small team among whom there have been Carole and John Wilson; they have organised the efficient delivery of the magazine every month and the collection of the annual subs for so many years that I can’t remember who did it before. They have

22

APCM Report 23[rd] April 2023

decided to retire from the post and I’d like to express my gratitude to them both for their willingness in undertaking this essential task for so long.

It has been a privilege and pleasure to have been your churchwarden several times over the years; when I started as a deputy warden under Michael Semple I never dreamt how interesting it would be, it has been very rewarding being involved with everything that goes on and I thoroughly recommend the job to future volunteers

Christine Leonard Church Warden

Musical Director’s Report: All Saints Headley, 2022 to 2023 CHOIR

Since joining All Saints community in September 2022, I have played the organ for regular Sunday morning services and baptisms. In late October I took the choir for weekly rehearsals, the main aim of which was for a Nine Lessons Carol service on the 18th December, which was very successful. The three months leading up to Christmas were a good opportunity to get to know the choir. As Christmas is an important part of the Christian calendar, some “extras” were taken in to swell the numbers. At this time the choir totalled twenty members on average and Jonathan Gainey-Brown (organ) and Keith Henderson (guitar) in offering their talents added greatly to the carol celebration. Since Christmas there have been no choir practises. However, it would be useful that the rehearsals were to resume on a once or twice-weekly basis. A few choir members have expressed a desire to include more hymns from Mission Praise as well as to tackle new music. This is what I should like to embark upon in the knowledge that it will take a little time. The complement of regular members is between ten and twelve – mostly sopranos and altos, and this does place a limitation on the choice and range of music. To address this I am happy to ‘tailor’ any musical settings according to the choir’s strengths. For Maundy Thursday this year, the Taize chorus, ‘O Lord hear my prayer’ has been included as a ‘humble’ arrangement for choir and organ. I wish to extend my gratitude to Helen, Simon, Yann and Tina for all the advice and guidance they have given to me since September.

FARNHAM DEANERY SYNOD

The Rev. Richard Bodle is the Area Dean and he is from St Alban's, Hindhead.

The main initiative within the Deanery is the Parish Needs Process (PNP), the main way of embedding the Transforming Church, Transforming Lives (TLTC) initiative of the Church of England. A meeting of the Deanery was held in September where Church Development Plans (CDP) were reviewed and elements that supported TCTL were identified and opportunities to improve these were discussed. The first drafts of the PNP were expected by the end of March this year and further meetings will be scheduled when these are

BUILDINGS & CHURCHYARD

Churchyard Maintenance

The churchyard is now closed and therefore has become the responsibility of the EHDC since April 2022. There appears to be no documented scope for the maintenance work that is to be expected from EHDC. We are intending to have an on-site inspection with the EHDC representative and their contractor, NORSE, but this has still to be finalized. Anthony Williams is supporting the PCC in our contacting the EHDC representative. There is a continued problem of crows roosting in the church rafters. It has not been possible, so far, to arrange for a builder to block their access hole by the tower. It is intended that this will be completed in the next year.

A generous donation was received from Nick Goodhew of Tithe Barn towards the removal of the 30 foot tall holly trees bordering his property. This work was partially contracted to DR Jones of Lindford who cleared most of the debris at no charge, as a further charitable donation. This left the trees as 10 foot stumps and these have now mostly been reduced to ground level by a team of volunteers (Bob Wilson, Jim Wood and Tim Deacon). Some further tidying is required. The notification of the tree felling was circulated to the neighbouring properties by Headley Council and this prompted further complaints about the bordering hedges. These have both been addressed.

The roof of the boiler-room has rotted completely and needs to be replaced.

Churchyard Signs- Churchyard Noticeboards

There are now distinct signs in the churchyard to remind visitors of their responsibilities. These warn that inappropriate grave decorations will be removed. The noticeboards on either side of the Lychgate are rotten. Repairs will be attempted to keep them in one piece but they really need to be replaced.

Church Centre Maintenance

The Church Centre has on going number of minor maintenance tasks which are mostly addressed in a short space of time.

The Boiler

Of great concern is that the reasonably new boiler continues to lose pressure. This means that groups that have hired the hall arrive to find it cold. We shall be addressing this with the installer, under the warranty, and get the boiler working consistently.

The Ceiling

The failure of one panel in the ceiling has highlighted the fragile nature of the materials used (unsupported plasterboard). The broken panel will be replaced shortly and we must see what remedial work is required to prevent further panels from falling.

24

APCM Report 23[rd] April 2023

Volunteering in the Churchyard

We keep the churchyard and buildings looking smart through the efforts of regular and occasional volunteers. Our regulars are George Watt, who clears the rubbish and cuttings every week, and the Horsfield family, who maintain the open Remembrance Garden. The Wilson family has taken on the clearing of brambles and rhododendron and will replace it with a scenic tree.

We held a volunteer meeting in the hope of recruiting new volunteers from the village to help on a regular basis in small areas of the churchyard but subsequent to the meeting no new helpers have volunteered . If anyone is interested in helping, please make contact through the church office.

At the beginning of October, we had a successful volunteers’ morning which tidied the area from the Lynch gate to the Church door and completed several other jobs. There will be plenty of opportunities in the coming year for people to join in especially on 8[th] May which is volunteer day as part of the Coronation celebrations.

Chris Millard Buildings and Churchyard Committee

FoASH (Friends of All Saints Headley)

As I sit here to write this report for the APCM, I am transported back to a gloriously sunny day in July 2019, a Sunday, the day of the Mens’ Wimbledon Final but, principally, the first real fundraising activity under the auspices of ‘the Friends’. The Mile of Pennies captured the imagination of the community, not just the congregation, and many people and young children turned out to lay the pennies they, or others, had been saving over the previous year. A marked measured furlong, all round the churchyard, with a column of cash, eight pennies wide, was established in just over two hours. Over £1500 of donations were contributed by a wide range of participants and others, and suddenly, after years in gestation, the fundraising activities had begun. Then lockdown occurred.

The Friends is designed to provide funding for the upkeep of the church, churchyard and church centre through the maintenance of its fabric but does not include the costs of day to day revenue and expenditure. Churchyard upkeep and renovation (though much of that has been done entirely voluntarily), clock restoration and organ maintenance have all benefitted from Friends funding recently. The actual fabric of the church is in good condition overall but issues regularly arise, such as the tower under constant attack from nesting birds and the architectural quinquennial (every five years) inspection, plus the constant heating system difficulties and, increasingly, the poorly equipped church centre, put demands on meagre resources.

Christmas card sales, a magic evening and other events have provided funds, together with generous donations from the Phoenix Trust, a local charity, significant anonymous donations and regular giving from individuals, plus a councillor grant scheme, have kept the balance positive. A Friends lapel badge, designed with a new tree and cross logo, is available for a single purchase of £5, through a regular giving scheme from £5 per month, or other individual donations.

25

APCM Report 23[rd] April 2023

The official launch of FoASH is scheduled for Saturday 29 April 2023 when the church will be open 2pm to 4pm for the community, parishioners and visitors, to see the church dressed for an array of usual activities, with people on hand to welcome and provide any necessary explanations. All are welcome and refreshments will be available afterwards in the church centre completely free of charge.

Immediate areas of attention include the expansion and upgrade of the church centre kitchen facilities. This will increase significantly the range of activities the centre can support, enhancing the service to the community. The target for achievement is this financial year.

A new, illustrated, colour booklet detailing the history and fabric of the church is also in course of production.

PARISH MAGAZINE

This is produced 10 times a year and appears on the village website.

After more years than anyone would like to admit to Carole and John Wilson are stepping down as the main distributers of the magazine. The magazine is delivered to them by the printer and they then organise bundles to go to all our volunteers. Without Carole and John and the team of foot soldiers we would not reach so many people in the parish; we owe them all a large debt of gratitude.

The printers “Imprint Colour” in Aldershot are very efficient and produce a quality magazine which from the beginning of this year is 100% colour

The cost has been reviewed and after much deliberation has risen to £10 per year which is in line with all the local magazines.

All Saints Flower Group Report 2023

This group of thirteen talented and enthusiastic ladies continue to keep fresh flowers in church throughout the year and to push the boat out for festivals at Easter, Harvest and Christmas.

26

APCM Report 23[rd] April 2023

We are very proud of the fact that we are self-sufficient in funds and never have to ask the PCC for money. Each arranger who does the pedestal for two weeks is entitled to £20 towards buying flowers and although half of the ladies are not church goers they very often do not claim this allowance.

After a two year covid induced break we were able to run our wreath making morning again. This was both enjoyable and profitable.

At Easter many people give money for lilies in memory of loved ones. This enables us to make a good show at a time of year when flowers are expensive.

If anyone wishes to pay for a pedestal in memory of someone close during the year, the group will happily arrange it.

Christine Leonard

A.S.H Puppets

During the Spring and Summer terms 2022, we ran an after-school club at The Holme. As many of our puppeteers were in year 6, we decided to change in September to an evening group, meeting in the Church Centre twice a month. Since then we have recruited two additional adults and two children. The first public performance was in December at the Carols on the Green, which was quite a learning curve – and very cold. Since then, the team have performed each month at HDCC Big Brunch on the first Sunday each month.

We would love to have more members, particularly young people from Key Stage 2 upwards.

Frances Morgan

Safeguarding at All Saints Church

During the last twelve months there have been no activities for children or vulnerable adults. I have not been made aware of any Safeguarding matters that need to be reported.

Nevertheless, Safeguarding remains a vital part of our Congregation and it is essential that we establish and maintain an environment where people feel safe and secure in the confines of the Church. This remains a shared responsibility for all PCC members and all members of the congregation.

Parish Dashboard

As I mentioned in my last report, there is now an on-line Parish Dashboard which is aimed to make Safeguarding simpler. Information can be added to this dashboard and it points out where extra information is needed and what practices we need to be aware of. I do need to confirm that all members of the PCC are fully up to date with current training. I monitor the dashboard but I believe it will be far more useful to us once activities for children are re-started to ensure that we are fully compliant with safeguarding safety measures.

27

APCM Report 23[rd] April 2023

Training

Yann and I attended a workshop run by the Diocese in April 2022 on preventing Child Sexual Abuse. This was important to understand what is actually happening for young adults at the moment and what challenges they have to face; however it was probably more pertinent for teenagers and not the age of young persons who we run activities for in our church at the moment.

It is now mandatory that all PCC members complete three on-line training courses (Basic, Foundation and Awareness of Domestic Abuse). Many of the PCC have completed all three modules but there are still some who have not completed them especially the more recent one regarding Domestic Abuse so I would urge those people to complete them as soon as possible.

DBS Checks

There have been a few DBS checks carried out this year, mainly from people whose previous checks had expired and needed to be refreshed. As we start up children’s activities again, I anticipate some more checks will be necessary.

CHURCH CENTRE LETTINGS AND SOCIAL COMMITTEE 2022-2023

The Social committee and the Church Centre seem to go hand in hand.

The Church Centre has had a very busy year with our regular users still making full use of what we offer. We did have a new user but sadly his venture didn’t last more than a few months. We have now become the home for the Headley Parish Council’s monthly planning meetings as they can be assured of the booking, where the village hall has moved or cancelled them. We have had the occasional meeting from Ludshott Photographic Club for similar reasons as the council.

With the cost of living as it is the Chris Cole art classes have suffered a little but are surviving.

On the whole the Church Centre has had an amazing year with income, we are expecting a slight drop this year in revenue due to the current climate but know that it will pick back up.

SOCIAL COMMITTEE

What a busy year! After a quite quiet couple of Covid years the committee hit the ground running!. At the beginning of this year we had a very small committee working their socks off to give All Saints a varied social calendar. One of this year’s first events was Yann’s Installation, followed by Easter.The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June was the first time we had ventured into large scale events. This event was

APCM Report 23[rd] April 2023

very well received and with the help of family and friends we set up, made salads, ran the bar, lit a beacon, had a piper and cleared away………We learned by our mistakes and this year we are planning to repeat the success. We had a quiz night, a harvest lunch, prosecco in the porch, saints and sausages, Christmas lunch, an organ recital, pancake evening, Lent lunch, and fish n chips. Some of the events ere to raise money, which they did, these helped to pay for the events that we put on without charge. I can now report that the Social Committee had now grown in numbers (there are now 12 of us as opposed to 6) and we have a very active ‘TEAM’ working hard to bring events for all. If you have any suggestions, please let a committee member know.

WEDDINGS, BAPTISMS AND FUNERALS

Bookings for events gradually have returned to normal since the lifting of covid resstrictions. Throughout the year to March 2023 the numbers are as follows: Baptisms- 20

Weddings- 8

Funerals including: Church Services, Interments, and Crematorium: 36

There are several bookings for Weddings for 2023.

MOTHERS UNION

Branch Report for the year ended 31 December 2022

At the start of the year we were pleased that Rev’d Helen was appointed to the position of Chaplain for The Guildford Diocese M.U. We applaud Helen for taking on this challenge in addition to her other duties and warmly welcome her to the Mothers’ Union.

We have resumed our regular talks and this year we heard about them from Baby Basics with Mary Somerville (to whom we subsequently sent a donation), Sewing and Textiles with Barbara Doyle Davidson; Three Counties Debt Counselling Service with Malcolm Carter and Confessions of an Anthropologist given by Robin Harvey.

Our local members continue to provide help to families in need in a number of ways. Because most local members are home-bound they have provided knitted goods for Ugandan babies via the women’s health work of Liverpool University and UK based children through the Baby Basics programme. Our knitters have provided garments and other items to Merchant Seafarers through the Mission to Seafarers in Southampton. Additional activities locally have seen visits to prisons where we look after children so that parents can meet and talk.

We can provide Parenting courses if required through a team of dedicated and trained speakers so if anyone knows of a need for this programme please get in touch. As well we can provide a limited number of family holidays in the area to local families who cannot afford one. Again, please get in touch if you know of such a family.

APCM Report 23[rd] April 2023

We have been fortunate to receive a cheque for £200 from the Freemasons at Bordon to enable us to further our work at the Royal Surrey County Hospital to which we have provided 32 emergency toilet bags during 2022.

HEADLEY ALL SAipifs PAROCIIIAL CHURCH COUNCIL Registered Charlty Number: 1127424 FINANaAL sfATEMEPItS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 FINANaAL REVIEW The overall result for 2022 was a deficit of £81X). The giving from our parishioners was up by £4,5(K) at £56.588 on which we recovered gift aid. The income from fees for weddings and funerals was down on the previous year and now that the churchyard is dosed there will be fewer buri315 in future. The Church Centre lettings were much improved at £9,240 compared with £3,256 for the previous year which was affected by covid restrtctions. We had to replace the Church Centre boiler in the year at a cost of £2,842and we were grateful for donations towards this expense of £610. The social committee was very active durin8 the year and raised a total of £3.782 after expenses from fund raisin8 events including the successful Jubilee celebration. Income from investments held up well at £5,882, an increase of £563 from the previou5 year. The investments have to be valued at each year end and the value of them declined over the year by £12,923 compared with the gain for 2021 of £17,919. Investments are held for the long term and their performance over the years has been good and provided valuable income. The freehold property we hold has been valued upwards by £30.000 and produces valuable rental income. We continued to monitor expenses and reduce costs wherever possible. Last year fina Wareham, our Parish Administrator. was in position for the whole of the year and runs the office extremely efficiently. We had a significant cost of decorating the Rectory prior to Yann's arrival which cost £7,650. The one disappointment was our inability to pay the Parlsh Share to the Diocese in full and we were short by £14,268 of the £85.608 requested. We did. however. receive a refund. along with all the other parishes in the Diocese. of £l.O(X) for a rebate in respect of the 2021 Parish Share. The Diocese also gave us £l,(J)O to help offset higher energy costs. The budget for 2023 approved by the PCC is a deficit of £15,8(KJ. Thi5 indudes the Diocesan Parish Share requested for 2023 of £87.059 which represents the single biggest expense of the Church. The pressures on our finances are as great as ever. Thank you to all of you who give generouslytothe Churth in both time and money in supportingAtI Saints Headley. Bob Wjlson Hon Treasurer 22 March 2023
