St Gabriel’s Church, Aldersbrook Annual Report for year ending December 2023
PCC Review of the Year
The PCC led by Fr. Martyn continued to oversee the life of St. Gabriel’s in its wider relationships within the West Roding Mission Partnership and Redbridge Deanery as well as the community of Aldersbrook. Fr. Martyn continued in his role as Area Dean and Henry Lau, our Lay Minister completes his training in July 2024.
Fr. Mark Kenny said an informal farewell to St Gabriel’s in 2023 in order to offer more support to St Margaret’s, Ilford, both for his personal calling to minister locally, but also to meet the upcoming need for cover in that parish.
The PCC met times 6 times in 2023 and continues to function as the key body for developing mission and outreach in the parish.
1] Review of Objectives for 2023
2022 was designated a year to focus on ministry to children and families, renewing Sunday School, restoring Messy Church and reimagining our outreach service on 3[rd] Sunday of the month. With the formation of a Friends’ group, there was also a
1
renewed focus on the fabric of hall and church. These objectives had been partly met but priority was given to further efforts in 2023 to progress the hall sustainability project through Friends of St Gabriel’s fundraising and with the aim of installing solar panels on the hall roof.
A revived worship pattern was agreed with a monthly early service, all-age service and evening service to be run throughout 2023. With recognition that our current activities required more from an already highly committed group we felt that no new projects should be taken on without stepping back from others.
2] Stewardship, Fundraising and Mission Giving
St Gabriel’s stewardship and regular giving continued to be strong and the lifeblood of the church’s mission in our parish. In addition, we ran a wider community match-funding project from Christmas 2022 to January 2023 to offset the very high cost of heating the church and hall. This was a great success, and enabled us to keep hall rentals at a manageable level for users.
Thanks to everyone who organised and helped with church fundraising events. Besides the income, more importantly, they strengthened our fellowship by having fun together and were a means to reach out to the wider community. We were able to run an amazing Burns Night, a Summer Fun Day and a Christmas Market.

3] Friends of St Gabriel’s
The Friends of St Gabriel’s continued its work in 2023, with fundraising events including a St Patrick’s Day Ceilidh in church, a packed local history evening, and by making a key contribution to the Big Give Christmas appeal which ran through the week of our Christmas market. These ventures raised a substantial amount of money for improvements to the church hall to be scheduled over Christmas, Feb half-term and Easter ‘24. In addition, a volunteer painting day [involving the wider community] took place to brighten up the main hall and entrance areas.
Also, in 2023 the Friends began to appraise and catalogue the church archive including making a deposit of papers to Essex County Archives [the last being in 2003] Thanks to archivist Becky Darnill for volunteering to do this work.
4] Charity Giving
We had a successful campaign for Christian Aid once again in the parish through the organisation of Sue Mutter and the help of many others. Sue, and the volunteers, continued to respond creatively to the challenge of door-to-door collection in the light of changes to people’s giving patterns and a more cashless society. The Christmas collections for the Children’s Society through carol singing and Christingle were also very successful.
St Gabriel’s again supported three charities with the money raised from tea and coffee after Sunday service: Chaos [ a local charity providing holidays for East London children]; Refugee
3
Employment Network [a national organisation supporting refugees into work or self-employment]; and Practical Action [an international environmental charity supporting the world’s poor to find local solutions to issues of development and climate change].
5] Parish Hall
The hall usage has gone from strength to strength in 2023, hosting a variety of regular users including Pre-school, Uniformed Groups, Playgroup, Dance Class, Pilates, Yoga, Football, ‘Gamestars’, Knit and Natter, Badminton as well as private party bookings and charity functions. The PCC is most grateful to Nick Riley for managing the hall bookings so effectively.
6] Aldersbrook School
St Gabriel’s continues to have a good relationship with Aldersbrook School and its PTA through hosting events that cannot easily be accommodated in the school hall. Fr Martyn visits the school for input on the RE curriculum as well as hosting classes from the school to visit the church. He recently became a community governor for the first time.
Pastoral Care - 2023
The summer of 2023 saw a farewell to our long-standing pastoral assistant, Amelia Hart, who has provided amazing pastoral support to our congregation and parish over many years. Her presence and work are already sorely missed, but a
4
team consisting of Dotsy Horsford, Anne Dixon, Henry Lau and Fr Martyn have attempted to maintain the regular round of home communions, and visits to parishioners in hospital or home. This work is being reviewed to find a way to sustain a good level of pastoral care into the future.
St Gabriel’s continues to make a good contribution to the work of Snaresbrook Crown court chaplaincy team and to the Bereavement Café at Christ Church, Wanstead, with regular involvement from a number of church members. At the end of the year the bereavement café was looking to provide a monthly evening session to augment the provision. [Fr. Martyn]
Outreach/Publicity 2023
We continue to make good use of social media to communicate with our church community, including Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and our own website. Estate agents’ boards advertising individual events are also well used to spread information.
There have been four editions of the parish magazine which were delivered across the parish, as were postcards detailing church services for Christmas and Easter. [ Teresa Smith ]
Foodbank Report 2023
St Gabriel’s members continue to be extremely generous in donations to the Foodbank and to Tin in a Bin. The numbers of local charities supported through this network has grown further
5
as more and more people find it difficult to make ends meet. Special collections at Christmas and Easter are always much appreciated, and this year there has also been a fundraising drive to support the provision of meals by the council during the school holidays. A number of St Gabriel’s members contributed to this or took part in the fundraising activities for which we are very grateful. Thank you as always for this expression of Christian faith and commitment. [Helen Bonnick on behalf of Tin in a Bin]
After-School Club 2023
For the year 2023 we had between 18-22 children ranging from Reception to Year 5 who we arranged to collect from school and escort to church. The children were fed and then various challenges took place followed by arts, craft, games and ending with a Bible story. We had a great support team of volunteers who made the club run smoothly and I would like to thank them personally for their patience, hard work and enthusiasm. They are Fr. Martyn, Lesley, Carol, Sandra, Tony, Anthony, Sue, Jan, Tony and Nick. [Kevin Thomas]
Messy Church/Holiday Club 2023
Messy Church has met four times this year to celebrate the themes of Spring, Father Figures, Harvest and Advent. We are welcoming new and returning guests each time to try a rotation of 5-6 themed crafts thoughtfully prepared and led by volunteers, an act of worship including a story and song and
6
then a feast prepared by volunteers for all to share. Thanks to our volunteers giving their time, energy and creativity, we are reaching out into our local community and even beyond.
Holiday Club ran during July on the theme of Peace. We welcomed children aged 5-10 from local schools to try crafts, Bible stories, cycling, gardening, and forest school activities. It was rounded off with a trip to Thriftwood Scout Campsite for a day of adventure. We ended the week with a thanksgiving in church where we bid farewell to Amelia, and thanked her and Anthony for all their work coordinating the volunteers to lead an amazing week for the children. [Clare Reeves]
Pre-School Playgroup 2023
The Pre-school Carers Group had a name change to Pre-School Playgroup simply because it was how people referred to it. We continued to meet on Wednesdays from 12 - 1.30pm with breaks over half-terms and school holidays. The team comprised Willa, Kath, joined by Julie at Christmas, with Fr Martyn playing his guitar. Lesley and Anthony kindly covered absences.
Most people gathered at the large table on arrival to eat their lunch, then the table converted to the playdough area. We created a carpeted area with toys, play kitchen and puzzles: this place expanded to cater for as many as 30. There was a train track area, too, as well as a colouring table.
7
We had a great mix of parents, child minders, nannies and their pre-school children. It was a diverse group - gender, age, race and cultural/ethnic backgrounds - which made for interesting conversations. However, we tended to lose people to work commitments. It was sad to see them go but fun to meet them out and about in the community. Feedback tells us people value the church space and the warm welcome. [Willa King]
Church Building/Fabric 2023
1] On-going Repairs
A rather strange event occurred in January: the chairs in church would no longer slide across the floor which made rearranging them for activities almost impossible. The cause might have been salt from icy pavements, but the result had to be the replacement of all the pads under the chair feet. A wonderful community turn out achieved this in a day.
A number of maintenance tasks were carried out in April including repairs to plaster following a roof leak over the vicar’s vestry toilet, as well as gutter and drain gulley cleaning.
By the end of October, improvements to the choir vestry were almost complete, providing a cozy meeting room as well as a choir practice venue.
The asphalt roofs of the church were inspected in September and quotes received for essential repair work, planned for the
8
spring or early summer ’24 when the weather would be better. Temporary repairs were carried out in the meantime.
2] The Main Project
As reported last year, the main task was to make improvements to the Hall and obtain the relevant permissions for the planned alterations, including:
-
removal of the stage to form new meeting rooms and toilets
-
improved access to the garden
-
solar panels on the roof
-
improved storage.
Solar panels were installed on the hall roof in November, supplying power to both hall and flat and allowing us to sell the excess back to our energy supplier. By January 2024 we had generated the first 1000 kilowatt hours of power.
The realities of building costs and our potential for fundraising forced a re-think towards the end of the year and a phased approach to the main project was adopted for a number of reasons after:
-
further discussions with hall users about their needs which prioritized the refurbishment of our existing facilities
-
quotes for the construction of the external store, received in August, were much higher than expected
9
- the cost estimate for the stage removal and new meeting rooms was £700,000, an enormous challenge in the current climate.
The revised approach is to remove the stage and use the area for improved storage. This will include the construction of a new first floor which can be converted later into the proposed meeting rooms.
St Gabriel’s Hall opened in 1927 and we hope to celebrate the centenary with premises more suitable for the next 100 years. [Richard Pratley]
Music in 2023
Our small but loyal and highly proficient adult choir continued to enrich our Sunday worship week by week, with the children's choir and instrumentalists appearing on special occasions. For our Christmas Carol Service we were again joined by the Brook Brass Quintet and Woodwind Quartet. Our own Anne Conoley gave a solo performance and we thank the many extra singers who also helped to make this annual event possible. For Passiontide we were able to provide music for a new Sunday evening devotion. Our well-equipped church building also continued to attract professional, semi-professional and amateur groups and artists to give high-quality concerts throughout the year, keeping St. Gabriel's on the wider map for the future. [John Light]

Safeguarding 2023
Safeguarding remained a high priority for the Parish of Aldersbrook and with the experienced guidance of our Parish Safeguarding Officer, Caroline Ferguson, St Gabriel’s continued to seek a proactive approach, offering and encouraging
safeguarding training and awareness for all, using the resources of the Church of England. Our annual safeguarding review was held at the January meeting of the PCC when the Church of England Safeguarding Checklist was reviewed and national safeguarding policy and practice re-adopted. [Caroline Ferguson]

Finance Review 2023
Total receipts on ordinary Unrestricted funds were £144,652 [2022: £144,936] and those of Restricted funds were £17,284 [2022: £1,644] providing an overall income total of £161,936 [2022: £146,580]
£162,047 [2022: £118,091] was spent to provide the Christian ministry of St Gabriel’s Church. It also included the contribution to the diocesan parish share, which largely provides the stipends and housing for the clergy.
The net result for the year was a negative balance of receipts over payments amounting to -£1,259 [2022: £28,489] This is in marked contrast to last year. Whilst Total Income was remarkably similar to last year, a number of factors are responsible for this change. Our Parish Share increased and we renewed our Parish Mission. We experienced a substantial increase in our utility bills due to global factors, even when accounting for significant fundraising pledges and a grant from the Diocese. Additionally, as well as some smaller works in the Church [Choir Vestry and maintenance] St Gabriel’s also took on a major project in the hall in installing solar panels.
Separately, a loan in the sum of £25,000 has been taken out to cover the cost of the solar panel installation and associated costs.
13
As such it is listed as a liability. Repayment by instalment has been agreed, commencing in 2024.
Considering bank and deposit balances brought forward at the beginning of the year, the balances carried forward at 31 December 2023 amounted to £72,017 [2022: £89,413] for Unrestricted and Designated funds and £2,923,188 [2022: £2,907,052] for Restricted funds.
Reserves policy
It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds [if possible], which equates to approximately 3 months unrestricted payments, to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. This has previously been 6 months but in the light of continuing performance post covid it will remain at 3 months. The balance of Unrestricted and Designated Reserves totals £72,017 at the year-end is over this target. [Nick Riley]
Worship in 2023
Our Sunday worship pattern was only slightly altered this year.
The 8.30am ‘first Sunday of the month’ service continued as before. The main 10.00am Sunday Eucharist remained each week at the usual time but on the first Sunday the format was varied to be a more ‘All Age’ offering. This meant greater involvement of our youngsters and our young musicians and has replaced the previously separate Family Feast / Pop Up Church.
Prayer/Healing at Eucharist has thus been moved to the second Sunday of the month.
14
Our monthly Sunday evening service , which resumed at the end of the previous year, continued with a more varied content, other styles of worship joining our traditional sung evensong.
Mid-week Holy Communion was held each Wednesday at 11am, and Evening Prayer remained at 5pm Mon-Thurs both in-person and on zoom. Twice monthly Tuesday evening
prayer/contemplation also continued.
Average communicant numbers of 53 on Sunday and 12 on Wednesday represents a slight reduction on Sunday and unchanged on Wednesday.
Communicants at major festivals

Easter Sunday - 101

Christmas Day - 121
Occasional Services in Church 2023
