Safeguarding
Safeguarding continues to be a huge topic in the Church of England. it is very much in the
forefront in the Diocese of Portsmouth and in all our parishes.
For anyone holding an office within the church. a DBS check and Safeguarding training now
has to be undertaken and is non-negotiable. During 2025 the Diocese is to undertake an
audiL and this could a150 involve many of the parishes within the diocese.
In the past
those serving on the PCCS across the benefice have been DBS checked and undertaken the
relevant training but moving forward we are now getting everyone to undertake a check
and training if they hold any office from those making the coffee, those on the welcoming
team. chalice assistants and the whole team who assist with the grandparents and toddler
group.
The national church has produced Five Standards a5 detailed on the poster displayed on the
notice board at the back of the church, along with a copy of the new Safeguarding Poster,
"Promoting a Safer Church"
Our benefice Policy Statement is also displayed on the notice board, recently updated by
the PCC'S.
Safeguarding has al￿ays been important within the parish and the benefice
but with an excellent diocesan team now supporting parishes across the diocese and the
support of Revd Joy we are determined that moving forward that if Holy Trinitylthe
benefice should have to parucipate in an audit we have covered all critrria.
Janet Laws
Porish Safeguording Officer
Review of activities
Holy Trinity was able to offer services throughout 2024.
Revd. Joy continued with taking Collective Worship at Horndean Junior School on a regular
basis.
Whi15t we have used recorded music for most of our services, we have been able to have
an organisi for special occasions. George. our young enthusiastic organisL played at our
Nine Lessons and Carols Service and Richard Martin (the regular organist at SL Hubert's)
has played at other serrfices.
Many fijnd-raising events have taken place during the last year, concerts, plant sales.
summer fete and Christmas Fayre. We thank our Fundraising Committee for the jr efforts
on our behalf.
12

The Remembering Loved Ones service was held again during the year and the work of the
Anna Chaplains and Anna Friends through the Care Homes goes from strength to strength.
Our Christmas Tree Festival took place just before Christmas. We had a large number of
beautifully decorated trees on display and welcomed many visitors to our church.
A full Christmas programme took place including the Crib Service where we welcomed a
lot of new faces and enjoyed the participation of adults and children from the congregation.
In October we were delighted that the appointment of Revd Joy as Priest in Charge had
been confirmed to take effect from January 2025 when the bishop would be attending Joys
licensing service to be held at Holy Trinity.
Another big highlight for the parish was the setting up of the Clothes Banl formally opened
by Councilor David Evans.
Gill Hill ond Jo Jackson
Church Wardens
7. Baptisms. Marriages. and Funerals
In 2024, Holy Trinity was able to offer baptisms, weddings as well as funerals and burials.
During the year we had trn baptisms, one weddin& and two funerals together with
interment of ashes.
8. Review of the Year - PCC
The PCC met on seven occasions during the year, in addition to meetings with the
Archdeacon and Area Dean over the appointment of a new priest in charge for the
benefice.
The preparation of a Parish Profile relating to the appointment was prepared
and Gill Hill and Janet Laws were elected as the representatives from Holy Trinity to serve
on the interview panel, along with the Churchyrardens from St Michael's Chalton and John
Bannell, Churchwarden at St Hubert's and Jackie ButL
A Benefice Standing Committee was also formed and are meeting twice a year to plan the
diary of events across the benefice. to try and avoid a clash of dates, and to deal with parish
policies and safeguarding issues initially. The Committee is made up of the Churchwardens
of the three parishes, along with Janet Laws as Benefice Secretary, Revd Joy, Davm Jenkins
as Lay Reader and Canon Wendy Kennedy.
At each of the main PCC meetings the ongoing concerns for the Church roof repairs have
been discussed and looking at ideas for fundraising, put forward by the Fundraising
Committee, the Church Fabric, along with the payment of our annual Parish Share to the
Diocese to rnention a few of the topics discussed.
The Ecumenical work continued with the other local churches, the regular Prayer
Breakfasts with Catherington and Clanfield, St Edmunds and the Baptists. The Prayer
S(ations for Thy Kingdom Come were held in the Church Centye Chapel
J3

Revd Joy regularty updated the PCC about the work she was doing on a Thursday each
week with Catherington and Clanfield (separate from her days working for Blendworth).
With Joy appointment as Priest in Charge to the benefice, in addition she would be licensed
as Horndean Missioner, to further the work previously taking place with Catherington and
Clanfield.
The Grandparents & Toddlers Group continued to be hugely successful, and the work of
the Anna Chaplaincy Team was going from strength to strength, but we were reminded
that the spiritual growth of the church in the future and how Holy Trinity was kept going
needed further discussion.
Blendworth currently has no representative on the Deanery Synod and Jackie But¢
representing Idsworth, has provided the report for 2024.
Annie Reeves continues to represent the parish on Diocesan Synod.
Janet Lows
PCC Secretary
Church Centre
As noted in our 2023 reporL the Centre had to pay to resurface half of the car park &
driveway in April and had to facilitate a temporary loan from the church. The Centre was
able to repay this loan by the end of 2024. The cost of the resurfacing was £20,054.40
including VAT.
We continued renting six spaces in the car park to local businesses during working hours at
a cost of £ 100 per vehicle per year.
No money was paid to the church at the end of 2024 but the Church Centre has tsken
over the cost of the new BT Broadband that vrfas installed in the summer and had
previously been paid for by Holy Trinity Blendworth.
A discussion took place with the PCC regarding the replacement of the large windows in
the hall which are old. leaking and not double-glazed. It vras decided that these should be
replaced together with the fire exit door. This work takes place in April 2025.
The hall has hosted several fund-rnising events for the church and church roof fund,
including band concerts. plants sal& Christmas fair & Shrove Tuesday meal.
The Centre does still have hiring availability during the daytime, but all evenings and
Saturdays are fully booked.

Centre Monager
l O. Fabric Report
During 2024 we have kept up with the minor maintsnance required at Holy Trinity with the
help of the Rakers & Scrapers. Rakers & Scrapers meet on the third Saturday of the month.
Unfortunately, the group has decreased. and our average attendance is six each month.
14

As well as keeping Ehe churchyard tidy. we have also made repairs to the church wall which
was crumbling in places.
Our main concern is still the church roofr, however, this work cannot commence until we
have the funds in place. The netting remains in place inside the church and will do so until
the external work is completed.
Our arChI￿ct Julian Livingscone retired in April and after contacting other architects we
have secured the serrfices of Ross Aylward who is a recent addition to the Diocese
approved list. Ross has visited Holy Triniry several times and is concerned about the roof
deteriorating and is keen to help us progress to obtain grants for the repairs.
Several of our events in 2024 raised funds towards the roof repairs.
All annual inspections have taken place ie lightning conductor. fire extinguishers, clocK
automatic door release etc.
A new organ specialist has been appointed as the previous gentleman was unable to attend
at short norice & only really wanted to do the annual service. Some remedi21 repairs have
been undert2ken, and the organ is sounding much better.
We have had problems with the church electrics. When the electricity board last changed
the main fuse, they replaced it with one that had lower voltage & this caused the system to
keep tripping fuse5 especially when the church heating was required. It took some weeks
for the electricity board to attend and replace with the correct voltage fuse which meant
that only pews in half of the church had heating at the end of the year.
In addition, we have started to use a new electrician who will re-balance the heating system
& do other work once the electric￿ board has completed their work

I l. Deanery Synod ReportlDiocesan Synod Report
Deanery
The Havant Deanery Synod met three times during the year and discussed the following
developments.
Anna Chaplaincy is thriving in the diocese and shows growth in work co support our older
population. both in care homes and within the wider community. The BCI lead Chaplain is
Dawn Jenkins.
Work has focused on rejuvenation of churches through young discipleship. This includes
work with schools, new funding and development of a new and younger worshipping
community eg Choir Church at St Faith's, HavanL
J5

Flourish in Horndeon is led by a pioneer leader working in school during lunch break offering
craft activities to open doors to young minds.
The Youth and Children's Group. in which Revd Joy and Jackie Butt participate, are
developing Godty Play at St Hubert's and Didty Disciples ac Holy Trinity for which the
Deanery is facilitating training courses.
Jackie Butt
BenefKe R*resentative to Deanery Synod
Diocesan Synod
Every three years. a new set of Diocesan Synod members is elected. The meeting in
November was the first meeting of a newly elected synod. and each House has to elect a
chair. The House of Bishops only has one member (Bishop Jonathan), 50 the other rNo
Houses elected their chairs as follows: Chair of House of Clergr. Canon Bob White, Chair
of House of Lairy: Debbie Sutton.
During the past year Bishop Jonathan told Synod members al)out an application that would
be made to the Dioceses Commission to revive the See of the Isle of Wighi which was
created in 1534 but never used. He explained that 2 new Bishop of the Isle of Wight could
live on the island, share episcop21 functions with the diocesan bishop, and be given a specific
role in leading our new Ministry and Discipleship team. In the proposed review of
Diocesan senior leadership structure Bishop Jonathan would like a suffragan bishop to be
appointed to the Diocese. The sufftagan bishop would be funded by the Church
Commissioners, apart from the provision of housing which would fall to the diocese. Synod
member5 signalled their support for this application. Thi5 is still being considered by the
Commission.
Head of Safeguarding Emily Hassan updated synod members on recent developments,
including the debates in General Synod and the call for safeguarding to be
made independent of the Church. Emily also went through how safeguarding in the Co
had developed over the past l O years. to show how far we had come.
Regarding the independence of safeguarding. she explained to Synod members that the
General Synod had voted for model 3 to be implemented {which means independent
oversightlscrutiny of safeguarding in the CofE) and then the COE would work towards
model 4 (where diocesan safeguarding officers would be employed by an exTrrnal body).
She said this was the best outcome we could have hoped for. as there was no evidence yet
that model 4 would mean reduced risk for children. young people and vulnerable adults.
Therefore, more work should be done on this.
The Ven S￿ve Daughtery, Archdeacon of the Isle of WighL and the Rev Andrew
Hargreaves. our interim director of Ministry and Discipleship, introduced interviews and
videos showcasing progress on our rejuvenatr strategy. They reminded us that the
strategy is composed of three parts: Revive, Rejuvenate and Renew with the emphasis on
16

the Revive elemenL re-invigorating the spiritual life of clergy and lay leaders within the
diocese.
Emma Sneddon was introduced. She is our diocese's Anna Chaplaincy co-ordinator. She
explained how older people are the Church of today and need spiritual support and
developmen( and that there are 7,000 care home residents in our diocese. Anna
Chaplaincy is therefore outward-facing and missional. There is now 54 licensed Anna
Chaplains in our diocese with another 10 on the Y•7y. Among other things, they can also
help to facilita￿ reconciliation across generations.
Annie Reeves
Diocesan Synod Representative
12. Anna Chaplaincy
The Anna Chaplaincy service within the Horndean area has grown over the last year.
We now visit each month:
Acacia House
Pear Tree Court
wiS￿ria lodge
Beregrove
Whitehaven
Rosecott
Blendworth Hills - is still in early stages but hopefully as people move in this will be on a
monthly basis.
Some of the homes we visit twice a month as residents have requested Holy Communion
which Joy takes in as a separate service. Added to this we are also doing home visits, which
are also very much appreciared. Over Chrisrmas we also held Carol Services in the homes
and were blessed with the Choir to swell our voices which was very much enjoyed by the
residents.
In total last month we spoke to over 80 people about our faith and invited them to join in
our services of praise and worship. without our visits very little spiritual support 15 given to
these elderly residents who sometimes have been moved to homes to be closer to family
so have few visitors and no church connection.
This work cannot be done without a faithful tsam of helpers. so Joy and I would like to take
this opportunity to thank Anni& veroni￿ Jo, Joanne for all their help and support each
weeL also Janet for printing off our service sheets If anyone is interested in finding out
more about the work we do. with a view to joining the team pl&ise do ask me for more
information.
17

In the meantime, everyone can help by prnying for our work and the work of the sraff and
residence in the homes we visit.

appointments etc. This money is to be used for the clothing ban
£2961 was raised for the roof fund from various fund-raising events of which £1059 vrfas for

came forward to help with the propagation and care of the plants.
The Summer Fete raised £1950 with expenses of £317. The Christmas market raised
£1400.
Thank you to all who do their shopping through the Easy Fundraising Scheme, this raised

Expenditure
We were unable to pay our Parish share. again. this year. We were asked to pay £39722
but we only managed to send £20000. The balance is shown as a creditor in the accounts
together with the deficit from 2023 of £16330. During 2024 the Diocese have been re-
assessing the way the Share is apportioned. and we have been given a 50% reduction going
forward. The previous deficit will be written off in 2025 accounts.
The church expenditure is similar to that of previous years. We spent £674 on the heating
system repairs and are still having problems but we are working on IL
The New Blendworth Centre increased their hourly rdte for work in che Church Yard. We
would like to thank our Volunteer Rakers & Scrapers who meet once a month to titivate
the area. Without them our bill would be greater.
We are still using piped music for our general services and only hire an organist for special
Occasions. We do. however, need to keep the organ serviced which is done twice a year.
This year we have taken on the services of a secretsry 4
hours a week. We are invoiced by Catherington Church who deal with the Tax and Nl
liabilities.
In 2024 we resurfaced the Car Park and driveway ac the Church Centre at a cost of
£20054. Although y￿ are a Chariry. we were unable to reclaim the VAT as it is not a
heritage building.
The Centre accounts had showed an overspend of £6661 due to the cosi of repairs.
We are intending to refurbish the Centre by replacing some of windows in 2025. The
building is used by the local community and needs to be kept in a good condition. It will
assist in making the Centre more environmentally friendly and keep our heating bills down.
