Ministry Area Report - Reverend Andrew Sully
Firstly, I would like to express a huge thank you to the Offi￿r5 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.

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 Child￿n'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.

4. 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 su￿Ssful
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.
6. 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 n￿d 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 T￿e outside the Church in December. This was followed
by a lantern prO￿Ssion 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.

7. 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 chIld￿n
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.

8. 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.
A variety of con￿rtS have been held during the year at the
Church.. RWCMD Baroque Ensemble,. Local Vocals (2)., Making
Music Changing Lives (2), Welsh Camerata (2), and in Holy
Week °The Seven Last Words. (Haydn) by Th8 Ely String
Quartet

were held on Zoom. In addition we held an afternoon 'Annual

growth targets. 43 people attended this event representing all six
churches in our Ministry Area.

10. 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
aC￿sS 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
COn￿rnS 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 Gon￿rnS 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 gr0￿h, and efforts to utilise the
"Next DooV' app are on going. Personally, I dedicate time each
Friday to update our Fa￿book 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.

1b Buildlng Report5.' St David's
st David's Church building has weathered a hard year. The major event was Ihe loss of
our gas boiler in lale November 2022, when it was condemned as unsafe and irreparatAe.
Since that time, we have relied. in these winter monlhs, on small. domeslK wami-8ir
blowers. We have just reGelved quoles for a new healing system from Christopher
Dunphy. a spe¢ialisl Church Healing firm, and ar8 looking forward lo having a new. more
efficient and green system installed later this year.
A wholesale review of the Sl David's building is undejway, and we are working with an
architect and the diocese to see how we can invest the money we'll receive from the sale
of Sl Timothy's Church building into Sl David's so as to refurbish and future-proof il for its
urrenl Christian family. wider community and future generations.
Our architect, Michael Plageman, is currenlty ¢ompleling work on the quinquennlal
inspeellon for St David's and we should have that report in the near future.
