THE CHARITY SHOP
The volunteers at the Charity Shop continue to provide a valuable resource to the community and generate a surplus to support St Wilfrid’s ministry. The Charity Shop now has a new landlord and we have concluded a new lease. Please support the work of the Charity Shop with your donations and if you are passing the shop, it would be appreciated if you would call in and say thank you for their hard work.

WOMEN’S FELLOWSHIP
Our year, as always, was mixed and enjoyable and we welcomed some new members.
We had the usual meetings with games etc, a craft afternoon, which proved our ladies are a talented lot! Various speakers – talks on local archaeology/history and a very popular one ‘my mum had one of those’, which brought back so many memories for our group. We celebrated the King’s coronation with a wonderful buffet, many hats and tiaras were worn, which ensured a party to remember.

BELL RINGING
Here at St Wilfrid’s, we have had teams of bell ringers in the past, however, the current team of bell ringers started ringing together last May 2023.
We are a group of mixed ages and abilities, our youngest ringer being Toby who has only been learning to ring since before Christmas but is doing extremely well and will be putting this towards his Duke of Edinburgh award.
We are very proud to have a team of ringers that can ring on a Sunday morning to bring everyone together for morning worship and to be able this year to play for weddings. I am so proud of how far the team has come and will be always so thankful for not only the team helping each other but also all the other towers that have joined us and other experienced ringers who have helped us learn and grow and I hope we continue to grow further. Finally, I and I know the rest of us ringers here at St Wilfrid’s would also like to say a massive thank you to Brian because without him we wouldn’t have the team we have today.
Brian has undergone the training to be able to teach bell ringing and was always happy to practice on separate days to give everyone the best chance at learning this skill. Brian is always willing to go the extra mile even as far as to put a camera up so we can see the bells whilst they are ringing and has been a massive support in my first year as Bell Tower Captain.

CHILDREN’S SOCIETY
Many thanks to all of you who have continued to support the Children’s Society. The money that you have collected in your
Special thanks to Revd Kevin and Kate for chairing the meetings so well, David for keeping us in line with finances and giving valuable advice, the Church Wardens, Brian, and Kate for their fabric updates and to all the PCC members who do an amazing job! It has been a pleasure and a privilege to be PCC Secretary.

SAFEGUARDING
I’m pleased to report there haven’t been any safeguarding issues during the past year apart from some confidential advice given.
It has been a busy year keeping up with the latest safeguarding procedures and best practices. I have attended five meetings via zoom, some more helpful than others. As a parish we are now more than halfway through stage three of the Parish Dashboard. A new initiative has been introduced - The Hub. This works in conjunction with the Dashboard and at the moment we as a parish have not yet signed up to it. The PCC have discussed the issue - there are pro’s and cons but as yet no final decision on whether to sign up.
Last summer Julia and I attended the first ever Safeguarding get together. It was a social event with guest speakers and a chance to meet other safeguarding officers from our diocese. It was very interesting and will now be an annual event.
I have given a report to each PCC meetings apart from two which were missed due to illness. At the last meeting it was decided to advise prospective PCC members of the necessary training to be undertaken by all members.
Finally, I have to say thank you to fellow members for their cooperation during the past year especially in trying to keep up with the latest training requirements. We are all volunteers with busy

The team who does church lunches, they are all there with their words of support and encouragement, so to each one of you, thank you, and we are so sorry if we have missed anyone out.
Richard who cleans the hall, not an easy task considering the increasing footfall through the hall, and this year we have had to employ Samantha for an hour to come in on a Friday morning to help with the cleaning.
Like the church, this year has been another positive year for the church hall with regular clubs and groups, we can still say that there really is something for all ages, and there is not a day when something is not happening in the hall. Please do go onto the church web site and look under the church hall to see what's on, when, and who to contact, they really are quite special.
As mentioned earlier throughout the year, the hall has hosted many fundraising lunches and dinners by a very dedicated team and if you have never been to one, then do come along, they are very popular and rightly so.
As with the church there will always be many things that could be done and need to be done, but we are slowly getting there.
house boxes has provided a valuable contribution towards the important work that they do.
The autumn house box collection in 2023 raised a total of £591.20, so thanks to you all for your generosity.
The spring collection for 2024 is underway as I prepare this report. Thank you to those who have already handed in their house boxes. I will continue to receive them until the end of March.
Regrettably, this will be the last collection that I will be doing. The Society has an arrangement with Barclays bank to take in the money collected (which is always a large amount of cash in the form of mainly coins). Sadly, all the local branches of Barclays have now closed (the most recent being the Mansfield branch) so there is no branch available now where we can realistically do our banking. It’s sad, but it would not be viable to travel to branches further away. I would again like to thank you all for your generous support over the years. Let’s make this last collection a good one.
God Bless

CHURCHWARDENS’ REPORT
PCC SECRETARY
Over the past year the PCC have again been working hard behind the scenes to ensure that decisions are made in the best interests of the church and parishioners. We have had a productive year, as you can see from the Church Wardens report. PCC meetings have been interesting with all members giving valuable opinions and ideas.
I would like to thank everyone for their support and advice which they have given me, which has helped me to again fulfil my role.
This is the difficult part, there are so many people who make this church what it is, and I am very proud to be able to say that thanks to each one of you this church continues to have a reputation as a warm and welcoming place. It is obvious to all who come in for the first time the love and care that goes into keeping this church so clean and tidy, so a special thank you to all the Wednesday group.
Last summer no one could help but notice the beautiful flower troughs on the car park wall, the tubs and hanging baskets around both the church and church hall courtesy of Steve and Brenda.

The car park church grounds and hall never look untidy for long before they are taken in hand.
In April the church carpet and underlay were replaced with like for like, the bulk of the expense being met by an insurance claim.
Within the church community many continue to work on all those jobs which go unseen but are necessary to maintain our beautiful church and parish hall, the flower arranging, all the altar linen, the teas and coffee every week, repairing lead hoppers that fell off the wall, lighting, PAT testing, servicing of fire extinguishers, the list is endless. As is our thanks to you all.
Over the last year we have had some wonderful services using the new projector and screen which have taken a lot of hard work and commitment to put together.
At this point we do want to say thank you to Kevin, Dora, Ann, Chris, and Thea for all you have done and continue to do, behind the scenes. To David and Marilyn. Malcolm and Mandy, Sandra, Sian and all the PCC, you are invaluable.
We still continue to use the IT equipment, but live streaming has taken a hit since Christmas, but we will endeavour to resolve that in the coming year.
Thanks to Malcolm and the support of the PCC we moved into the 21st century with a card machine which we borrowed from Southwell. The PCC has agreed to purchase one for the church so feel free to use it when you see it by the collection plate. Malcolm has generated individual QR codes and posters for use in the car park and around the hall to try and help generate that extra income.
The Christmas Fair was really excellent and well attended and our total fundraising events raised £1,841 – what an achievement. Thank you to all those who helped in any way. The period running up to Christmas was really busy and very enjoyable, watching all the rehearsals and actual productions from Orchard and
PARISH GIVING
Our sincere thanks to all our regular givers who continue to financially support St Wilfrid’s especially during this worrying time of the cost of living increases, please remember that if you need to review your regular giving you can do so at any time. We appreciate that not everyone can commit to regular giving and we are grateful to those who donate when they can.
We have moved into the 21[st] century and now have the equipment to receive payment by debit/credit cards, if you wish to do so, please ask.
A special thank you to Malcolm Bowen who has recently undertaken a project to make payments easier by using a new card reader and developing QR codes so donations can be made using mobile phones.

PARISH HALL
It’s been a privilege and at times demanding, looking after the hall, and seeing it grow in demand for birthday parties etc, but we have not been alone, we have the love and support of a whole host of friends, and this is where writing a report becomes frightening, the fear that yet again we may miss someone out.
There's Steve who regularly cuts the grass, plants and maintains the hanging baskets and so many other unseen things, keeping the outside of the hall and the church looking nice and cared for.
Brenda and all the ladies who put on events to raise money for charity and to help maintain things.

fund the installation of a new servery in church.
They cannot be used for the parish share, gas, electric or the day to day running costs, so if you see things happening in future around the church it may well be with thanks to the bequest of those who have gone before, or a mix of the hard work and donations of the church of today with the support of the church of yesterday, together, building the church of tomorrow.
Bless you all.

GIFT AID
The total revenue received from HMRC in 2023 was £3,859.

MEN’S BREAKFAST AND FELLOWSHIP
The Men’s Breakfast continues to meet on the second Saturday of every month from 8:30 onwards, till around 10am. It’s now been going for quite a few years since Kevin started the ball rolling with only a break through Covid. Numbers are varied depending on the time of year and who's got what on. It is lovely to meet with our brothers from St Thomas's and other churches, and a smiling face and a warm welcome always awaits whenever any come in.
Long may it continue.
Brian Vardy
Greenwood Schools. The church was packed on one occasion, standing room only! Attendance at services and events throughout Advent and Christmas were up on last year. We must be doing something right!
As mentioned in our report last year, the Wardens are responsible for providing a service when Kevin, Ann and Chris are unavailable. Kate has done that on a number of occasions this year and it has been really wonderful to see how we all pull together to create a service and that we can all feel part of it. We thank all of you who have been willing to be part of the services.
Going forward we have a request of each of you, without prayer this church will crumble, so please, in your prayers, pray that both St Wilfrid's and St Thomas's will grow, prosper and become everything our Lord Jesus wants them to be.
Both Brian and I would like to say that it is a privilege to be your Church Wardens. Our task is made easier by everyone at St Wilfrid's – it’s a true church family.

DEANERY SYNOD
The new Area Dean for the Newstead Deanery is Pat Hemstock. Some of you may know Pat as she has been to St Wilfrid’s on a number of occasions.
This report will focus on just a couple of the issues that the Deanery Synod has been discussing over the last few months.
The Fossil Fuel Debate – at its last meeting the Synod determined the following:-
“Newstead Synod believes the argument for divesting from fossil fuels is becoming overwhelming and asks the Diocesan Synod to
7
4
direct the Diocesan Board of Finance to review its investments in companies whose primary business is in fossil fuels and align itself to the approach of the National Investing Bodies as outlined at General Synod in June 2023”.
In essence, the Church of England should not be investing in fossil fuel companies to generate income regarding pensions etc.
Deanery Finance – to date the Deanery has paid more than at this time last year. A review was underway about how share is apportioned. The parish share for St Wilfrid’s for 2024 has been reduced by approximately £12,000 which is to be applauded. However, our utility bills have risen by £10,000 this year which negates any advantage we had gained in the reduction. Such is life!
Wayfinder Project – this is a way to develop existing ministries rather than starting something afresh – why re-invent the wheel! Wayfinder can train volunteers in helping participants connect socially, which leads to improving their ability to engage with advice services and improving their health (mental, physical and emotional) which in turn reduces their risk of homelessness.

FABRIC REPORT – FINANCES
ESTHER TODD BEQUEST
At the end of 2023 the accumulated capital investment has increased by £3,323 to £142,112. The accumulated income rose by £5,557 to £52,960.
David Ball
We should at this meeting like to pay tribute to our present treasurer and his predecessors for their careful stewardship and integrity in this demanding role.
Many people over the years have left a legacy to St Wilfrid's Church, the most well-known is perhaps the Ester Todd fund, but others too have left a bequest for a specific purpose, and being true to their bequest is ring fenced and can only be used according to their wishes, and for no other purpose whatsoever.
During 2023 we received a most generous legacy from the estate of Susan Smailes of £50,000 and it was her wish that this should
