St Saviour’s Westcliff
Trustees Annual Report 2023
A year of two very different halves. The first half of the year was a continuation of 2022 as we were still without an incumbent and although the daily running of the church and hall continued planning for the future was somewhat constrained. However, in April we were delighted to be able to announce the appointment of Revd Canon Julie Fleming as the new incumbent at St Saviour’s on a ‘House for Duty’ basis and on July 6[th] 2023 she was duly installed. In August we said a fond farewell to our curate, Revd Judith Wilkinson, who had, until Revd Julie’s installation, been looking after the parish as she moved on to take up her new position in the Diocese of Chichester. We wish her every success in her new post.
Revd Julie lost no time in familiarising herself with the church and parish and has been very active in all that we do and was very keen to restart the project to install a new accessible toilet in the vestibule and the proposed tea and coffee servery at the west end of the church.
Fortunately, the original architect for the project, Robert Godsill, although now retired, was still around and offered to assist with taking the project forward and revising the drawings which had been prepared pre covid. The project is now very much up and running again and we hope to be able to start work, subject to faculty approval, in 2024.
The finances of the church have shown an improvement during the past 12 months with a surplus of income over expenditure of £22,621.00. This is mainly due to a reduction in the diocesan levy as we no longer have a stipendiary incumbent and a substantial increase in income from hall lettings despite a sharp increase in the cost of gas and electricity during the year and continued expenditure on the organ restoration and general maintenance of both the church and hall buildings. However, if the planned project goes ahead, we will need to raise additional funds in the coming months and years to finance this, but we are committed to maintaining and, if possible, increasing our charitable support and giving. Support for the food bank has increased over the past 12 months, both financially and with increased manpower and storage space as the need for this service has grown. Charitable donations have also been made to The Children’s Society, the Dolma Foundation and the Bishop’s charity.
There will undoubtedly be more challenges in the year to come but we are committed to continuing to be an asset to our parish, the local community and our city.
