Fabric Report for St Mary’s
As of January 2023 on the external North and West side of the church two sets of works have been done. (1) Repairing storm damage to the lower roof and replacing coping stones where one fell off. (2) Whilst the scaffolding was up the West wall was repointed and worn out bricks repaired. Periodic inspection continues to be made to ensure that timely maintenance is conducted as and when necessary.
5
As of May 2023 the smashed stained glass window in the Day (Lady) chapel has been replaced.
During February 2024 the toilet light has been fixed.
There is a requirement for the pulpit steps to be fixed as one of the treads is separating from the main body of the pulpit.
Finally, a big thank you to everybody who help us each week before, during and after both Sunday services.
Richard Smith & Angela Robinson, Churchwardens
Safeguarding
Firstly, I want to thank Jone Forrester for her diligent work in this role over many years, I am sure you will all join with me in thanking Jone for her leadership and expertise she has bought to the parish whilst in this position.
In both our churches we continue to safeguard the health and wellbeing of our children, young people and vulnerable adults, enabling them to grow, develop and live free from abuse, harm and neglect. Once again I am pleased to report there has been no safeguarding issues report to myself, or any members of the PCC this highlights that as a church family we are vigilant in keeping the most vulnerable members of our church safe.
The London Diocese has developed a Safeguarding Parish Dashboards, a data system which will hold our Policies and Action plan, Reviews and Reports e.g PCC/APCM reports, Training for key roles e.g. churchwardens /Safeguarding officer , Display information e.g. safeguarding poster, Safe recruitment and people management.
It is vital that we remain observant, steadfast, and uphold our safeguarding responsibilities. As St Mary’s Safeguarding officer I am here to support anyone with any concerns or simply to discuss my role. If you are concerned that a child, young person or vulnerable adult has been harmed or maybe of risk of harm please speak to me. In some instances the concern you may have cannot be kept confidential and will be discussed with Father Lee, The London Diocese and the PCC.
Always remember we welcome everyone into the life of the church, a community where everyone is valued and respected, it is the core of the Gospel and our calling. Everyone should know that they are safe as they can be and that safeguarding is an integral part of our life and ministry.
Luke Edmonds, Safeguarding Officer.

Choir
The Choir at St. Mary’s form a part of our Sunday service we lead the congregation during the mass.
Our choir has grown from strength to strength, we now have thirteen of us, and we all take part in both services, the 10 o’clock and the 12 o’clock masses.
This year has been a very challenging for me not able to give full support due to illness, but the Choir carried on in fine spirit, with good support from Miss Victoria who stepped in to help the Ladies and gent with their singing and to also help Gina our new Organist.
The Choir sang at a couple of Funerals which had been inviting for us, we also had another Choir to join us on the day of my mum’s funeral and it worked very well.
As we move forward into 2024 our aims are to keep on going, try to recruit new members, also to try and have a Christmas concert at the end of this year.
To continue moving forward in our ministry as a team and working with our new Priest and Gina our organist.
My sincere thank you to Victoria for all she does and to Jacob for helping us out when he can.
May God continue to strength, Guide and support us all.
Lynda Atherley
Organ
I began as organist in July 2023.
As I am still becoming acquainted with the traditions and services of St Mary’s; I can’t identify changes or improvements, but I felt that Father Morris’ leaving Evensong was especially nice with the performance of Anglican chant. I would like to see more use of music for Psalms in future as its absence seems to be a gap in the music of the liturgy; this addition would elevate the service.
I am commenting as organist who is not in charge, contractually, of the choir but can make musical observations from the ‘organ bench’.
7
I aim to support choir, as much as possible, for quick rehearsals between services, and to play voluntaries before/after the service which reflect the liturgical theme and/or mood and spirit of scriptural readings.
I feel that we could improve by facilitating more of a way for the choir and myself to work as a team -- there is an obstacle in that we do not have a scheduled rehearsal for important dates at the moment, so communication is done quickly before or after services. Also, the number of choir members vary from week to week.
The choir, whose members often travel a distance, begins gathering/moving to meet directly after the last hymn which means that the final voluntary does not feel like part of the service; I wish that could be addressed somehow if possible.
I would like to generate more interest in the organ music in general, which often (as stated previously) is a meditation on the readings – perhaps titles of works going into the Mass sheet could help achieve this -- and an encouragement of silence before services could help, if that felt an appropriate suggestion.
With a new priest in place soon, I hope that long-term planning takes into account the vision of the choir, and myself, so that we could develop more opportunities for singing (possibly including children regularly).
Gina Kruger - Organist
The Kemble Club
We are still going strong in our 33rd Year, but we are having problems with the lack of helpers (volunteers), we only have five volunteers. So I have made the decision to just open on the first Sunday of the month. We started this on the 3rd March when we had 18 diners, so we are feeling that the right decision was made having all our volunteers on the same Sunday. Thank you very much to all our volunteers and to the people who come and have lunch with us.

Sunday School
The Combined Infant Sunday school (ISS) and Junior Sunday school (JSS) sessions provide children aged 4-11 years with spiritual learning at the appropriate level of understanding for their age range. This is achieved through activities, such as arts & crafts, role-play, games, reading, prayers and storytelling. Since combining ISS and JSS in 2020 things have gone very well and it is felt best to keep the two ages combined. The younger ones really look up to the older ones and the older ones enjoying supporting the younger ones. We have found the combined Sunday schools work really well, however our numbers have been slowly dropping and where we used to have a stable 12 we are now having a stable 6.
Volunteers have remained the same and we still have 2 teachers, and 2 assistants. We have been trying to recruit as this means all volunteers miss out on attending Mass 3 out of 6 weeks.
The 2 leaders tend to cover 4 sessions out of a 6 week term but we do so happily as we can see how much it means to the children to have a Sunday School. This does not suit everyone and that is why we are doing our best to recruit.
We have also been very lucky that the Men’s Fellowship and the Mother’s Union have separately supported us to have parties for the Sunday School children at Christmas and at the end of the school year. We also received additional funding this year to enable us to purchase white boards, folders and other much needed stationery.

The Boys’ Brigade with Girls’ Association 133[rd] London (Haringey) Company
The Boys’ Brigade is a Christian uniformed youth organisation, we work with both boys and girls and have a varied programme with a structured badge system.
As the Beetles wrote … Another year over, a new one just begun… Well sort of
Our staff numbers still remain at a healthy 13 leaders plus 1 helper across all sections, looking after the young people on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. It was fantastic to welcome back one of our young men to join the staff team this year. As always the staff have done a great job creating and delivering a varied and engaging programme for the young people.
9
We have maintained a good number in Anchors (school years 1-3) a small increase from 21 up to 25 on the roll this year ( 14 Tuesday / 11 Wednesday ), with a good level of regular attendance. Junior section has taken a slight dip in numbers due to the older children moving up to company section a reduction in numbers from 29 down to 20 ( 7 Tuesday / 13 Wednesday ). Company section (school years 7-9) we have seen a good increase from 16 to 21 on the roll and attending regularly each week. Our Seniors (school years 10 up) have 9 young people on the roll, an increase of 2. Recruitment is, as always, still ongoing and we welcome any young people that would like to attend.
2022 / 2023 figures 2023 / 2024 figures
2022 / 2023 figures 2023 / 2024 figures
Our firework display took a break last year due partially to the fact the company had been so busy throughout the year. Company camp and a Junior holiday were both run last year and had good attendance from both Juniors and Company and Seniors. Great fun was had by all who attended each event with lots of activities being run.
10
As I mentioned earlier, the staff have pulled together and delivered some great sessions for the young. Not taking anything away from the staff, the new brigade resource packs have made these easier than ever for the staff to prepare and deliver at our meetings.
Our annual awards evening was as usual a great event. For the second year running, due to the size of the company now, we moved this into the church. We welcomed the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Haringey, Captain Peter Baker, to be our inspecting officer. Which was very apt with it being a coronation year and the theme of the presentation being around the Royals. A great number of badges were presented including 2 Queens Badges (the highest of the Boys Brigade awards).
The company has continued to try to encourage our young people to support S Mary’s. A number of young people have continued to serve and our Sunday School is regularly attended by many others. We have seen some reasonable attendances at Church parades, which we hope to build on.
If you know of any young people from school years 1 upwards please be in touch. It's just £45 a year for Anchors and Juniors and £60 a year for Company and Seniors, this includes all normal parade activities, competitions and badges. This has moved from the previous weekly subscriptions to a by term subscription meaning £15 for Anchors and Juniors and £20 for Company and Seniors per term. Extra activities including camps and trips come at extra cost.
Once again I think it fitting to mention my thanks to Father Morris who has been a constant figure of support to me personally and to our Company during his time guiding St Marys forward. Moving forward we are very much looking forward to meeting our new priest Father Lee Clark and welcoming him into our Boy’s Brigade family. We know that he has a strong background in youth work and we are keen to take on board anything that he can offer to the company in his new role.

Mothers’ Union
‘Mothers’ Union (MU) is a worldwide movement with members from all walks of life – not just mothers! Passionate about fighting for justice, speaking up for the voiceless, finding practical ways to lift people out of poverty and transforming communities from the inside out, MU works towards a future where everyone can thrive’ – Mothers’ Union ethos.
At the start of 2023, we had 26 registered members. We meet 10 times a year on every first Saturday of the month, except in January and August. We attend corporate communion mass at 9.30am and this is followed by the meetings.
In 2023, the MU took part in many activities and supporting the church along the way. In March , the MU helped out in making the Christingle oranges for distribution to the congregation. The MU organised and contributed to the flowers/plants to hand out to the congregation on the 19[th] March, Mothering Sunday mass. Some members continue to help with cleaning the church. We attended Edmonton Area Lady Day service on 24[th] March at St. Peter with St. Martín church, Bounces Road. We had one new member join the MU. And on a sad note, one of our members died, Sonia McGaw RIP.
In April, we had a new MU banner made and blessed by Father, this is proudly displayed inside the front of the church. On 6[th] May, we had no meeting due to the Coronation of King Charles III, for all to enjoy.
In June, 2 more new members joined. On 14[th ] June we attended St. Paul’s Cathedral for Mothers’ Union Annual Festival. In July , we attended Edmonton Area meeting at All Saints church, Edmonton N9. In the first half of the meeting Father Morris joined as guest speaker on Psalm 45 (The wedding of a King). In the second half of the meeting, we started preparations for Father Morris’ leaving ‘Bring and Share’.
In September , we started Harvest preparations for 1[st] October. We shared our devotions and discussed life experiences. In October , the reflections addressed ‘The role of women in society’, this month was also to promote awareness of ‘Rise Up Against Domestic Abuse in Society’.
On 18[th] November , attended the London Diocese Annual General meeting at Church of the Ascension in Wembley, was also an opportunity to meet with
12
other MU branches and in the December meeting, we prayed in thanksgiving for the year and had our end of year refreshments.
The Mothers’ Union would like to thank Fr. Morris, Fr. Beer and Jo Ryder for all their support.
Hannah Katakwe (Secretary), Mary Smith (Leader), Lynda Atherley (Treasurer), Florence Nwankwo (Prayer Officer) and Gloria Omotoso (MU Advisor)
Men’s Fellowship
The Men’s Fellowship continues to be a welcome addition to life of St Mary’s church with the ethos of uniting men with each other in faith and giving them an opportunity to come together and give back to wider church community and hopefully beyond.
The Men’s Fellowship uniforms have now become established and are a visual signage of being a part of the Men’s Fellowship and are seen at least monthly and at major events in the church calendar. The men are excited that we have now a new Parish Priest appointed and are looking forward to meeting with Fr Lee and seeing how the Men’s Fellowship can continue to support St Marys as we strive to continue to play our part within the wider church community.
Although this year has been a slightly unusual one with us going through an interregnum and some church events not taking place this year. Where it has been permitted we have continued to acknowledge and contribute towards established milestones within the church community. We continue to contribute and support with the work of the Sunday School with Christmas party and celebrations, Boys Brigade and the church as a whole. The Father’s Day BBQ was well attended and again was a huge success and something that many look forward to the annual event. The men have been encouraged to get involved in church events and helping out where they can whether that be assisting in stewarding, reading in mass, assist in packing up after mass, cleaning etc.
I would like to thank the church, Father Beer for his continued support and ask you to pray for us that we may continue to build the Men’s Fellowship and establish ourselves within the church and be a shining example to others and that we may bring more people closer to God as through faith and prayer everything is possible.
Nathan Cato, Chair Men’s Fellowship
