Neston Parochial Church Council
Trustees, Report for 2024
Parish of Neston
2024 Report and Accounts
Parochial Church Council of the Parish of Neston, Cheshire.
Aim and purposes
It is also important that we maintain the
fabric of our three church buildings and the
Neston Centre to enable us to carry out our
objectives and activities.
Neston Parochial Church Council IPCCI has
the aim of every Church of England church:
To promote the whole mission of the
Church - pastoral, evangelistic, social, and
ecumenical.
Achievements and performance
The PCC has the responsibility of
cooperating with the incumbent in
promoting this aim throughout the
ecclesiastical parish of Neston.
Revd Kevin Crinks started work in the
Parish of Neston in September 2023, with
the assistance of local, retired priests,
especially Revd Maureen Hobbs, Revd
Frances Skinner, and Revd Richard Skinner.
The PCC is specifically responsible for
maintaining..
Work with elderly people continues with
CAFÉ (Community and Friendship for
Everyone), meeting monthly in the Neston
Centre. Work with the recently bereaved
continues through OASIS in the Blue
Bicycle coffee shop.
St Mary & St Helen's Church.. Parish
Church, High Street, Neston, CH64 9TZ,'
St Michael and All Angels, Church-
Marshlands Road, Little Neston, CH64
4AD:
St Thomas's Church.. School Lane,
Parkgate, CH64 6SR- and
Neston Centre: High Street, Neston,
CH64 9TZ.
Our pre-school gatherings continued
during 2024.. Stay & Play met in term-time
on Friday mornings at the Parish Church,
offering Christian teaching in a creative
and well-received way. It is over-
subscribed.
Objectives and activities
Children from the High School and primary
schools made visits during the year and
held their carol concerts in 2024.
Experience Christmas and Experience
Easter workshops were held for local
schools.
The PCC is committed to enabling as many
people as possible to worship at our
churches and to become part of our parish
community. We aim to enable people to
live out their Christian faith as part of our
parish through-
Services, worship, and prayer;
Social outreach and pastoral work,. and
Missionary outreach, especially to
children and young people.
Most of our activities in all three churches
benefit from the work and commitment of
many volunteers. without whom much of
our work could not happen and the PCC
would not meet its objectives. The PCC

meter in the Neston Centre
The PCC is reasonably placed to address its
financial position and manage budgets, but
in 2024, it was only possible to work within
our agreed working funds by drawing on
other reserves. While there are large
capital reserves for projects that are yet to
be designed and delivered, day-to-day
income
not
covering day-to-dav
expenditure such as the Parish Share.
Insurance, utilities, maintenance etc. A
Stewardship group of the PCC is working
on a new campaign. We acknowledge
particularly the skill and commitment of
the Treasurer, Lucy Brooks.
An exhibition based on the Twelve Days of
Christmas was held in the first week of
December 2024 in the Parish church. It
consisted of 12 fabric banners created by
Meryl Abel which took two year5 to
complete. The banners were created by
stitching, embroidering, painting and with
a touch of appliqué work. They were
mounted on stands which were supplied
by her husband Terry Abel.
Over £1,000 was raised for parish funds
from donations, and sales of refreshments
and craft work.
The PCC established three subgroups to
address.. stewardship, communications
and events. The Event5 Group has
delivered many events throughout the
year that have enhanced fellowship within
our congregations and improved contact
with the
wider
community.
The
Communications Group is making steady
progress, and the Stewardship Group will
start its work in 2025.
Marion Forshaw helped lead a number of
Civic outreach services:
Civic Service. The Service in February
was well attended by the Deputy
Lieutenant, the Lord Mayor of Chester,
Mayors of a number of adjoining areas
and Civic leaders from Neston Town
Council and elected representatives
from Cheshire West and Chester
Council.
Neston Female Soclety. The Society
held their Annual Walk through Neston
on 6th June. This was attended by over
100 children and the adult members of
the
Society plus
various
civic
dignitaries. Their Ecumenical Service
was held at the Parish Church and
outside at Neston Cross led by Revd
Crinks. It included a presentation by
Open the Book which delighted the
children present.
Armistice Day. The outside service and
wreath laying at the war memorial was
on Ilth November, was well supported
and led by Revd Crinks.
Churchwardens. reports
Linda Haigh has continued to work on the
energy contracts throughout the year. We
are still with EDF. However, the contracts
are up for renewal in 2025.
Five of the 8 meters have been changed to
smart meters. The Parish church electric
meter can't be changed until they can
access the safety switch, which is under the
grass area to the side of the church. The
area will be excavated in 2025 to complete
the work

Neston Parochial Church Council

the British Legion, Members and
Veterans of the armed forces, Civic
Leaders and local Cadet and Youth
Groups. The Service was led by Revd
