REPORTS FOR THE APCM 2025
Vicar’s review of 2024
As I reflect on 2024 my heart and soul are full of thankfulness.
I am thankful for being Vicar here in Heacham for 10 years, and for the celebration we had. I am thankful for the culmination of the cupola and bell project.
I am thankful for ‘Team Heacham’ all of you who serve and give and care.
I am thankful for sabbatical time and all who covered for me.
I am thankful for the seasons of the year, the cycle of services and events which we have hosted and enjoyed.
I am thankful for the normal things, the small kindnesses, the jobs done unnoticed, the gentle care given.
I am conscious that 2024 saw the deaths of a number of well-loved members of our Church family, which was tough. I am thankful for them and the support given to them and their loved ones.
Thank you for the part you played in the life of Heacham Parish Church in 2024.
Philippians chapter 1 v3-6
3 I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

1. TREASURER’S REPORT & ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTS FOR 2024
The accounts show an excess of receipts over payments of £2845 compared with an excess of £22,824 in 2023 leaving the church at year end with assets of £69,361
Receipts decreased by almost 12.5k mainly due to receiving no legacies (in 2023 it was 11.8k). The 1k increase in Planned Giving was offset by 2k fall in Sunday collection receipts while the VAT refund (5.5k) on the building work covered the fall in Grant income (4.9k). The 60k invested with CCLA resulted in interest of just over 3k
Payments increased by just over 7k. As a result of the restoration of the Bell and cupola building work costs increased from 8k to 37k.To be able to fund this Parish Share contributions were reduced from 51.5k to 30k. We hope this year to be able to pay much nearer the request of 61.5k. However, it does depend on the cost of the heating system for which we have reserved 60k.
I would like to thank Val Fisher for examining the accounts and for Julie and Garry for all their work as Bookkeepers.
Proposed Resolution
“It is recommended that the APCM resolves to adopt the report and accounts for 2023 as attached.”

2. CHURCHWARDEN REPORT – 2024
What a rollercoaster year. We have had several highs and many lows.
2024 started with Revd Veronica going on part 2 of her sabbatical returning in good time for Easter. Many thanks to our Lay Ministers and local Clergy who maintained the good quality of our Sunday services. A big thank you to Revd P Cook who covered a baptism with an unbelievable shiny divers’ helmet used as a font.
Easter came and went with our usual ecumenical services, all well attended.
Our APCM saw Veronica Welham stand down as Churchwarden and Chris Wright was elected.
Our administrator left in May and the PCC took it as a good opportunity to upgrade the office computer system and to clear out the church office prior to a new administrator being appointed in September.
The church’s biggest high came in September when we celebrated the completion of the cupola. BBC Look East visited as well as many local residents and school children to witness the lowering of the old bell. The Bishop of Lynn commissioned our new Coronation bell before it was placed in the cupola. During the service it was wonderful to hear both bells being rung – even if it was only Bishop Jane hitting them with a hammer!!
October saw an extremely busy Light Party – wonderful to see so many children (and adults) in church enjoying themselves.
December was a good month starting with the Coronation bell being rung for the first time to call the congregation to worship. The following week Bishop Jane confirmed 2 candidates in a meaningful service. All Christmas services were well attended especially the village carol service. We also welcomed the infant and junior schools, the scouts and visited 4 care homes.
We hosted more weddings since covid ranging from a small, intimate service to large events.
Throughout 2024 we lost many members of the congregation and were proud to host their funerals. We give thanks for their lives and for the example they gave to the rest of us.
We would like to say that due to the economic/mental health situations we are now finding more homeless people coming to the church for shelter. We are working with the Purfleet Trust, Kings Lynn Council and mental health teams to find the best solutions for these people. We fear this will only get worse in 2025.

3. FABRIC REPORT – 2024
Works outstanding
Although repairs to an historic building can never cease, at the present time we are only considering a few projects in 2025.
The most important is remedial work to the west wall of the main entrance porch. Water ingress has undermined the base of the wall and caused some movement. A structural engineer has examined the stability of the wall and has reported that it looks fine at the present. A further report from Norfolk Drains also concluded that the drainage seems fine. However, there is an issue at the base of the entrance which needs attention. Work to rectify the damage to the water downpipe and close off any escaping
water will begin in the spring. The wall will eventually be re-plastered to create a perfect finish.
Cupola
2024 proved to be an exciting and fulfilling year. It was the culmination if the project first muted by Terry Clay, a longstanding member of the congregation. The old cupola was in dire need of repair & refurbishment but raising sufficient money to fund the work remained a distant reality. However, eventually, thanks to constant fundraising and some sizeable donations between 2020 and 2024, the project finally became possible.
The necessary faculty took approximately eighteen months to obtain and in 2023 the project to re-build the cupola began. The work led by Terry Clay and Robert Pritchard ensued. The old cupola was dismantled and the original Sanctus bell was removed for safety reasons. Many months passed, and with the additional help to the team of Alex Knight, Martin Turner and myself, the work was eventually finished in the summer of 2024. The bell was placed in its dead-stock on 11th September 2024. A wonderful; culmination of many years of preparation, work and commitment.
New Bell/Old Bell
A fulfilling year when the plans for the installation of the new Sanctus bell finally came to fruition.
April to September 2024 was a frantic time with final preparations being made for the hanging of the commemorative bell in honour of the coronation of King Charles III.
The wonderful service led by Bishop Jane to bless the new bell was held on September 10th. Team Heacham, led by Revd Veronica, went into overdrive and a full day of activities were organised including inviting all the local schools to join the celebrations. Unfortunately, we did not manage to welcome a Royal visitor but the numbers attending from the local community as well as the congregation to view both bells, displayed side by side, and join in the service was quite inspiring. On 11th September the old bell was removed and taken to the bell foundry where it is being stored until the faculty to re-hang it in the church is granted. The new bell was hoisted aloft at 11 a.m. with approximately 250 people present to witness the spectacle. When finally fitted, it was possible to hear the bell rung – in situ – for the first time. A wonderful moment. Since then the bell has been fitted with electronica controls and welcomes us to worship every Sunday morning.

4. FACULTY REPORT – 2024
Heating/boilers
We had thought that after 11th September, when the public notice time was completed, and the notice removed, that permission had been granted. However, we were then informed that the Chancellor had rejected the application.
We had made a strong case for like-for-like gas boilers but were told to think again. A flurry of meetings were then hastily called involving the Net Zero Carbon Advisor, the Diocesan Heating Advisor, and the Electrical Installation Advisor, all of whom agreed that the costs of electrical installation were prohibitive.
Nevertheless, we still had to jump through more hoops including providing information on the carbon footprint of the church and the efficiency (in percentage terms) of the new proposed gas boilers in relation to the possible electric system. This information was completed and has been sent to the Chancellor. We await a reply.
UPDATE FEBRUARY 20[TH] 2025
This morning an email was received granting permission for the installation of new gas boilers.
UPDATE APRIL 4[TH] 2025
The 3 new boilers are installed and working.

10 . SOCIAL AND FUNDRAISING GROUP REPORT 2024 .
-
Our first wine tasting evening on 24 May was a great success and kindly organised by Steve and Sian Cook.
-
We also celebrated with a BBQ on 26 May the 10th anniversary of the Wilson family’s arrival in Heacham.
-
In August the Parish Council allowed us to do the street collection at Heacham Village Carnival. Our collection was towards the cost of our new Coronation bell.
-
The bell was then installed with great flair on 10th September 2024. A momentous occasion as the old bell was lowered and the new one installed in the beautiful new cupola on top of the tower. All marked with footage on Look East as well as tea and cake for everyone.
-
We then turned to replacing our heating in Church. On October 5th our Shantyman concert was enjoyed by the whole village and raised £1,600 towards the heating.
-
November saw a Christmas themed wine tasting again, organised by Steve and Sian. 7.
Plans ahead: A bring and share lunch after APCM, an Easter Concert by Adrian, Richard and Andrew, a stall at the village yard sale, an Autumn wine tasting evening, Christmas craft fayre with a silent auction.
I would like to thank everyone the Social and Fundraising team as well as church members, who have welcomed visitors, made cakes and biscuits, made Christingles, washed up, tidied up, moved furniture and a multitude of other things. Without your help nothing would happen, we are a wonderful congregation and I am thankful.

12. BEREAVEMENT GROUP 2023
The bereavement group continues to meet on the second Thursday of the month from 10-12 o’clock. Clients can drop in any time but on the whole, they come at 10 o’clock and stay until the end. The clients find that it is a safe place and that they can be honest about what they feel. So often when a member of the family asks them how they are they will just say “I’m fine” They find that it is easier to say that as they don’t want their family to worry about them. We discuss arrange of topics as well as talking about their grief. When they do talk about their grief they know that the rest of the group will understand what they are talking about. They often find that it is a great relief to find that other people are thinking/feeling.
Last year I was approached by a member of the Heacham Group Amenity Fund to ask me if I would like to apply for a grant, which I did. They have paid the rent of Pine Mall Hall for a year and gave me enough money to buy some books for the group to borrow. I shall apply again for this year and as I am now a member of the committee, I’m sure that I will be successful.
I would like to thank Bridget Neeham, Kathrine Craig and Steve Cook for their
help and support.

13. CHILDREN’s REPORT 2024
This year we did an Easter event and launched our strapline of “Journey with Jesus” and we will continue this theme for all future events. This involved 5 activity stations which were split up to show the Journey of Jesus at Easter and each activity was titled as a section of his journey and this went down well with the Children of the village, and we had some great conversations, and some interesting questions were asked from the Children which was great.
There was a dog walk for the Young People that come to church in August although this was not well attended it went well, and we will look at doing this again next year but will pick a date not during the school holidays.
The light party in October was another great success with numbers far exceeding last year. The theme this year was “Jesus is the light of the world” and badges were made and given out carrying this message, we changed it this year and got the Children to have a “game card” stamped once they had visited each station which went rather too well, it kept people there the whole time and the church was so busy we hardly had time to have conversations with them. We may have to have a booking system for next year to make sure we don’t have too many.
As part of the light party events, we had the children make a lamp and they put a battery powered tea light in it and were asked to put them in the window
during nativity and email a picture so that the picture could be put up in the Church as part of Christmas decorations.
Finally, we would like to thank everyone who helped on all our events, and prayed that they all go well, and for those who knitted, baked, created,
printed, and supported. We have had some lovely events this year and there is a great feeling in the village for the church.

14. MUSIC REPORT 2024
We have enviable support for all aspects of music in our Worship with no less than 4 or more small singing/playing groups including piano, recorder, clarinet, guitar, voices, and organ. We therefore have a significant ‘pool’ of talented musicians who are also entrusted to select, practice, and play a Musical Offering (MO) each week
Our congregation come from many styles of church traditions and we try to cater for this in our music eg on a Sunday we would typically have 2 or 3 modern worship songs and two traditional hymns,
Adrian (principal organist among no less than 4 competent organist folk who help us and are also deployed to help other churches) submits a monthly list of suggestions to the Vicar and Ministry Team and the musicians. This can then be amended if necessary to suit the refined needs of any given service. The days of the gowned choir worked well but we have to move forward and use our resources to the very best. Our organ is also the biggest (and most flexible!) along the coast - apart from Lynn Minster. A bequest from Mrs Sylvia Brown, for which we are grateful, has allowed us to add a further stop which on some stops not only increases sonority but also gravity to the Trumpets.
Then there’s singing at the carol services, around the village, and in the care homes.
Do you enjoy singing? Why not speak to Hilary or Richard G about coming along. As the Vicar says ‘Only God is perfect!’ Do talk to Adrian about this.
Adrian Flower Pesky Elderly Organist Heacham Church
15. CARE HOMES AND HOLY COMMUNION 2024
On behalf of St. Mary’s church, during 2024 there were 64 home communion/ care home visits to members of the congregation who were not able to attend a Sunday service in church.
Additionally in conjunction with Churches Together in Heacham, Easter and Christmas services were held at Fridhem, Millbridge, Rebecca Court and Summerville care homes. Representatives from the Catholic, Methodist and St. Mary’s sung a variety of hymns, along with prayers and short reflection in each care home.
A special thanks to Alison Hoyle and Michael Warnes who very kindly provided music for residents and parishioners to sing along too.
It is worth noting that a number of care homes provided refreshments and monetary gifts as a ‘thank you’. The services were both warmly received and appreciated by staff and residents.
16 CHITCHAT AND COFFEE REPORT 2024
Each month, usually the third Tuesday, we try to have a theme which goes down well when it is explained why we have produced certain cakes or in the case of February last year, pancakes. This year we had cakes from other countries Algerian date cake and Portuguese pastel de nata thinking of Guiding’s Thinking Day when we remember people in other countries. Members of the North West Norfolk Trefoil Guild serve the coffee each month. Thanks to Jill, Mary and Gina. We do not charge for attendees at the coffee morning but there is the opportunity to donate if people want to and generally the funds go to support the Church. It is proving to be a popular place for single ladies to meet and have a chat or listen to others if they prefer.
In April we served chocolate buns with violets from my garden that I had crystalised on top. Some people were afraid to try them but ate the buns!
June is always popular when we have scones with jam and cream and a piece of strawberry on top thinking of Wimbledon.
In September we decided to support Tapping House, our local hospice and Nichola Childs from there attended and was able to take £68.95 back with her. It is always reassuring for people to be able to ask questions when the opportunity arises.
In November we had members of our local constabulary attending after they had come into the Church after the Remembrance service as they had been challenged to meet members of the community. They changed tables so everyone there was able to speak to them.
At our December meeting we made paper stars which was very popular with members of the Trefoil Guild sitting at each table helping put them together.
The Borough Council is in the process of planning it’s Beat Your Bills roadshows and we are booked to have them join us at the June meeting. The roadshows offer help on all aspects of cost of living, including information about how to access benefits, grants, discounts, save money and more. At each event there will be staff on hand to answer questions and give information on a range of cost of living subjects, including energy bills, rent problems, general money worries, grants, benefits and advice on how to reduce costs. I do hope we have a worthwhile number of people attending but regardless, whoever attends will learn something to their benefit I am sure.
