Ministry Area Report - Reverend Andrew Sully Firstly, I would like to express a huge thank you to the Offir5 of the Ministry Area in what has been a challenging year. In August we said farewell to Mother Frances, the Ministry Area leader, and entered a six month period of interregnum during which time we were ministered to by a variety of clergy, who gave generously of their time in maintaining cover of servitss both on Sundays and during the week. Father Rhys Jenkins has been superb in his unwavering commitment and pastoral care. His kind, urbane manner and cheery style of serving has been hugely appreciated in keeping the morale of the four churches left vacant positive and resilient. l am hugely in the debt too of my colleagues Canon Jan Gould and Father Jesse Smith for their support and wise counsel during this time. Canon Dyfrig Lloyd requires a special mention as well because as Area Dean he was left with oversight for a whole host of projects and committees, as well as for arranging rotss and offering the continuity so crucial during the vacancy period. The Ministy Area Council has really taken shape well since the Ministry Area was set up two years ago. lona Gordon, Gareth Glover and Jean Gorey have worked really hard as chair, treasurer and secretary to ensure that good governance of the Ministry Area is achieved smoothly and effectively. On a personal note, lona has been a huge help in helping me find my way into my new role and in offerin9 wise counsel in how to take up my new role. Kate Puzey has been no less supportive and our loss of her as she steps down as Ministry Area warden is Sl Peterfs gain as she steps back into the role of churchwarden there. l am reticent to go any further in my statements of appreciation for fear of excluding anyone. May it be enough to say how grateful and proud l am to be joining a team of such highly committed and ompetent disciplines as together we find a way to continue to build up the body of Christ in West Cardiff and find new ways of rnaking Chrisfs Kingdom a visible sign of God's presen with us.
Ministry Area Treasurer's Report- Gareth Glover The relevant information on the Ministry Area fInanS has been circulated in advance. Please refer to tjvo spread sheets MA Fund Totals and MA SOFA St Catherine's Church - Ruth Davies Joint Heritage and Eco Church Event 10th June 2023 The church, hall and grounds were open all day. Visitors enjoyed finding out about the values of Eco church, which we are affiliated to, as well as historical tours of our church. Visitors also brought along artefacts associated with St Catherine's which were scanned and are available on 'The People's Collection Wales, website. Bonflre Night 2023. Large numbers of families with children from the local community attended this successful event, so many came that we actually ran out of food! A greal time was had by all, especially enjoyed was the giant bonfire, 'sparklers' (under the supervision of parents) and 'hot dogs, Throughout 2023 we extended our mission and raised our profile by including the local area in invitations for summer and autumn fairs and Christmas services, all of which were well attended. The Christmas services included a Christingle, and the Carol service included stories from the Childn'S bible, one of which was dramatized beautifully by dancers from our local ballet school. In addition to these events, 'Little Fishes, playgroup has been started and welcomes families with babies and toddlers from the area. Our Church Hall has increased bookings throughout the week and the hire fees a a vital income for our Church.
- Church of St David- Cynthia Hill Bringing the churches of St David's & St Timothy's together Following the closure of St Timothy's, it was uncertain whether the former congregation of St Timothy's would attend services at St David's; but after a faltering start they eventually did return for worship. Collaboration between the churches is on going too, with rota's for church cleaning & flower arranging. A very suSsful Summer Fayre was held with assorted stalls, staffed by members of both churches. Sunday School Sunday school was previously held in Sl Timothy's in the hall. however due to the lack of space in St David's, Father Jesse kindly agreed to the use of the Vicarage. The number of children who now attend exceeds 30 Heating System With the help of local councillors & lots of hard work undertaken by Father Jesse, in securing grants, the heating system is now installed & paid for. Licensing Service for our new Ministy Area Leader New Ministry Area Leader, Reverend Andrew Sully, was licensed on March 1 st in St Davids. Light refreshments were laid on afterwards and the evening was a great success.
- St Luke's Church- Paula Yates This has been 8 quiet year for St Luke's. Our regular worship is at the heart of what we do, and this has been sustained as always by our small but excellent choir and organist. Their simple and lovely musiG creates the contemplative atmosphere that helps us to prepare to meet God at the altar. During the interregnum we have been very grateful to all the clergy who have celebrated the Eucharist for us and given us encouragement. l usually avoid mentioning individuals for fear of accidentally leaving someone out, but I know we would all like to join in thanking Father Rhys in particular for everything he has done to keep us cheerful and positive. The congregation is small and we have lost some very longstsnding members this year. Nevertheless, we have been able to hold a few events, most notably the very successful Min pie and mulled wine evening after the community Christmas carols in Victoria Park.
We are grateful to those individuals who work behind the scenes to keep the church running and who keep the church looking so beautiful. The Romanian Orthodox Church continues to Use the church building for their early liturgy. It is wonderful to see St Luke's so full and their icons and other worship materials make their own contribution to the sense that St Luke's is full of the glory of God. We have been happy to welcome Reverend Andrew. It is not easy for a new cleric to take on an unfamiliar worship style at such an important time of the Church year as Easter. We look forward to the coming year with an awareness of the nd for some changes and in a spirit of slightly anxious optimism. 6. Church of St John, the Evangelist The Church continues to be a popular venue for a wide variety of community events and concerts. We are still working on how to let people who come to these events know about the support, pastoral care and worship that the St John's 'team' offers. During the year we extended our hospitality and more people stay on after services for coffee and a chat. We are trying to make sure that every first time attendee or new family coming to the Church is welcomed and introduced to others. The Church hosts an Orthodox congregation after the Sunday morning servi. A particularly well-attended lebratIon, was the lighting up of the Christmas Te outside the Church in December. This was followed by a lantern prOSsion and Christmas carols in Ihe Church afterwards. Bishop Mary officiated and it was a really joyful occasion with crowds of local people joining in. We were delighted to organise and host a Ministry Area farewell Sunday lunch for Mother Frances Wilson when she left at the end of August. We have a INely group of children attending Sunday School each week in term time, and several are being prepared for Confimation in May. We are a collection point for the Food Bank and support Christian Aid through monthly lunches, but every Friday during Lent.

Church of St Peter- Kate Puzey We have had the joy of welcoming many visiting priests this year and we are grateful for support from Fr Dyfrig, Fr Rhys arKI Fr Huw in particular, but also Fr Keith, Bishop Richard, Bishop Rowan and others, who have maintained the pattern of worship until we were able to welcome our new Ministry Area Leader, Andrew Sully. Numbers on Sunday have been stable and our Sunday school continues to thrive and grow, with approximately thirty families regularly attending. The Wednesday morning Eucharist has a good regular attendance, followed by a coffee morning that supports different charities each month and attracts people from the community. We have had a number of baptisms and four chIldn and three adults were confirmed in April 2023. We held hvo successful fundraising fairs in June and November, raising £2,500 at each event, but equally important they were wonderful opportunities to bring people together and to see so many visitors from the local community come to our hall and garden. We recently launched St Peterfs 100 Club. Our finances Continue to be of concern, although our deficit 202312024 was half the figure of the previous year. Our Quinquennial inspection in June highlighted some repair work needed to roofs and also advice for a structural engineer survey to assess some movement in the building. Our Community Hall & Garden Project continues to grow. With funding from the National Loltery we employ three part time staff to manage the Hall and run our Social Prescribing Project. Our communty lunches attracted a regular 25-30 people. We were thrilled to heaf in February 2024 that we have been awarded National Lottery funding for another 3 year project to support the health and well being of people in our local communities.

Church of the Resurrection- Carol Cobert The Church continues to meet for worship on Sundays. Every 3 Sunday a family Servi Eucharist is held where we encourage our young people to tske part. Once a month a Communion servi is held at two of our residential care homes., Regency House and The Court. For those unable to attend Church, who are housebound, a weekly sheet is delivered containing Jan's sermon, Sunday readings and the news sheet. The Church is also used by the Indian Orthodox Church On a month, followed by their time of fellowship in the church hall. Id On 23 May two teenage boys died in a bike crash in the Snowden Road Area of Ely that led to widespread rioting well into the night. Canon Jan became the main spokesperson for the Ely community and was interviewed on national and local media, fv and radio, over the next few days on how we as a Church and community respond to such sad events. The Church opened its doors on the Saturday and many young people and family members came to light candles, to be silent and to weep. Our MP Kevin Brennan, Bishop Mary visited the area with Jan following the riots. Jan conducted the funeral of the two boys on th 6 July at the Res and the boys were buried together as they were best friends. Many thousands attended the funeral and lined the route of the funeral. The Church Hall is in constant use with various communty groups, induding Little Fishes playgroup, Making Music Changing Lives, Over 50s Zumba, Craft and Art Group, the Local Vocals and Bingo. The Foodbank is open on Monday and Thursday each week. During the Churches Unlocked Festival we th opened our doors from 3 - 11 June and showcased all that we do at the Church. displaying our beautiful church with all its works of art. The Church hosted a Ministry Area 'Get Together, in our Church Hall on 28 January when representatives from all the Churches in the Ministry Area attended.

Safeguarding Report- Mark Saunders EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The West Cardiff Ministry Area Safeguarding team is considered to be in good health. the year has seen a number of safeguarding events that have ranged from local to potential national impact. All matters have been suitably dealt with engaging the CIW Safeguarding team and other relevant authorities. As always, as a team we will continue to work to raise awareness of safeguarding in our Church. To prevent abuse or harm occurring and to protect and respond well to those who have experienced abuse, in it's many forms. ACHIEVEMENTS The lead safeguarding officers within each individual Church continue to provide excellent support to the overall safeguarding objectives. The use of My Church People continues to improve with further aCsS to training and improvements with the modular system. That said further work is needed to support lead safeguarding officers within individu81 Churches. It is my intention to implement an in person MCP training event where practical sessions Gan take place to improve leaming. SAFEGUARDING CONCERNS The MAC meetings will continue to be the fowm where safeguarding COnrnS will be shared if relevant. Should matters arising require urgent attention an extraordinary meeting will be called, and a confidential report provided to the members of the MAC. RECOMMENDATIONS Continue to ensure safeguarding is a key priority for our Ministry Area.
Continue to attend College of Safeguarding officers meetings to share and learn best practice. Lead with the roll oul of safeguarding training to all those within the Church relevant to their role. Continue to use the MAC meetings as the forum to share any reported safeguarding GonrnS using extraordinary meetings if necessary. Continue to ensuie DBS checks are submitted, reviewed, and renewed where necessary to ensure all persons are suitably vetted. Continue to use My Church People as effectively as possible improving our skills in this area. CONCLUSION This year has seen a number of challenges involving safeguarding where non church bodies have been engaged to discuss safeguarding matters including Cardiff Social Services and the Charity Commission. As point 3 above, safeguarding matters are known to the MAC leader and discussed at the relevant time. It is however worthy of note that both external agencies were very pleased with the manner in which they were engaged and were very helpful. The professional CIW safeguarding team continue to be very supportive of the Cardiff West Ministry Area and l am grateful for all the help that I have received over the last year as the safeguarding lead. 11. Communications - Gareth Tombleson I have made strides in enhancing communication wilhin the MAC over the past year by actively engaging with congregation members across the six churches to understand their preferences for communication frequency and content. Our presence on social media plarfomis such as, Facebook and Twitter, have shown promising gr0h, and efforts to utilise the "Next DooV' app are on going. Personally, I dedicate time each Friday to update our Fabook page, which has seen increased follower engagement and messaging. Additionally, maintaining Gommunication via What's App for those not on social media has proven effective for disseminating important information. The recent launch of our MAC website 11 l has garnered an
average of 100 monthly visits, with plans to further enhance its content and customisation for individual church pages with input from trustees. Going forward, my focus will be on elevating our visibility and exploring platforms like "Go Fund Me" for fundraising to support churches facing financial challenges in securing their future within the fsAAC community. 12. Property- Peter Kellam The MAC has responsibility for approval for works over £5k across its constituent churches. More minor works do not generally need to be flagged to the MAC and this report does not cover those. The closure of St Timothy's church is very much the headline to note in this report. This last year has seen boilers emerge as a common issue. A new boiler has been installed at St David's and the need for new boilers identified at St Catherine's, St John's and St Luke's. Whilst the Diocese Is encouraging consideration of green Irenewable options, the costs of doing so have been such that like-for-like has been the only realistic option. During the reporting period the MAC approved an application from St Catherine's to go forward to the Diocese for a full faculty to allow work on rotten timber around the church organ" work to the organ's leather bellows,. work on rainwater goods,. removal of the church chimney, repairs to stained glass windows,. and the placing of two tablets rescued from St Mary's Maesteg in the porch. St David's have been developing plans to transform their building for wider community use and future generations using the proceeds of thc sale of St Tirnothy's and have been successful in securing £30k in grant funding for this project.
