REPORT from the RECTOR. the Rev'd Canon Dr Marion de Quidt
to the Parish of Heckfield with Mattingley and Rotherwick
"We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, because
we have heard of your falth in Christ Jesus and your love for all the saints." Colossians 1.3
This has been a good year, with continuing ministry in all our churches. We began the year with a
farewell lunch party for Rev'd Shona and Martin Hoad, on the 1 ￿ January in Heckfield Village Hall.
It was a happy time, celebrating everything that they have given to our parish in the last four years,
although we are all sad thatthey have moved on. We have blessed them in their new life in Cornwall.
This yearwe havejoyfully continued to offerthe same pattern ofworship across our villages, without
fail, because our Whitewater Ministry Team, our Church Wardens and our organists have been so
faithful. We have seen our regular congregations support every variety ofworship service and large
numbers join us for Easter, Remembrance and Christma5 special services in 2023.
Our Church Wardens, James, Stephen and lan, plus our retired wardens, Vivienne and Andrew,
served the parish lirelessly. Much oftheir supportfor our churches is unseen, with the early morning
setting up in the buildings, finanaal responsibilities, care of the buildings, the churchyards. and our
parishioners. They keep attentive to the practical and pastoral needs of our buildings and people.
In addilion we are so grateful to the people in our church family and beyond who willingly offer their
time for grass-cutting, Ilower-arranging, cleaning, bellringing, and pastoral visiting. It is delightful for
us when we are able to host family events in our churches to honour the lives of those who have
died, to Celebrate weddings, blessings and christenings. We are enormously grateful to John Platt
for his careful and reliable work with financial management, and helping me with PCC paperwork
and planning. Also to Richard Joyce, Michael Steen. Martin Bames and Stephen Davies our
organists, who have supported our church worshipping life. Our bellringers have provided mu
pleasure as they have rung at Heckfield and Rotherwick and at weddings.
Our Benefice Ministry team has continued to meet monthly this year. to plan and serve across the
Benefice, with Hook alongside Heckfield, Mattingley and Rotherwick. Thank you in particular to
Jennifer Martin (Licensed Lay Minister, LLM) and Tim Maynes (LLM), who have faithfully led
services in HMR. Jennifer has served mostly at Rothemick and Heckfidd, and Tim at Mattingley.
Eliza Burridge has been a magnificent member of the team in our Benefi￿ Office based in Hook.
The Bluebell Café has been a great success throughout 2023, with weekly afternoon sessions on a
Friday, where people with dementia, carers and others at home, are invited for tea at The True
Living Centre, Holdshott Fami, Heckfield. The afternoons include quizzes and games, ukulele
con￿rtS and singing to guitar accompaniment. A mini bus collects people from their homes and
returns them home. Thank you to Rosie and Charles Mandry for the café, to Ron O'Keeffe and
David Nodder. and the team for their hard work and support for everyone involved.
Thank you to James Trumpeter for convening a monthly social gathering in local hostelries with all
leaders and parishioners wanting to help run our rotas, activities and ministries.
We have continued to prepare paperwork towards finding a full time priest for HMR. Thank you to
Tony Heath for his hard work on the profile. Please do pray that 2024 might be the year that this
becomes a reality.
IAarion de Quidt, Rector of the Whitewater Benefice.

WORSHIP AND SERVICES
In 2023 we have Gontinued our pattem of worship with one thange. The weekly morning 8.30am
BCP Communion continues to bewell supported and some Come to everychurch as it moves around
the four villages (Hook on the first Sunday). Evensong is held On￿ each month at Rotherwick, when
the bell ringers are playing for us, and this is led by Tim Maynes and Jennifer Martin. both LLMS
based in Hook. The later weekly moming service has moved to 11am, and been a regular pattem
nd
of Heckfield for Communion (1st Sunday), Rotherwi¢k for Family Worship (2 ), Matins at Mattingley
(3rd) and usually Morning worship (41h Sunday) throughout the year.
The Remembrance Day service with the Scouts and Cubs included the outdoor parade from the
Rotherwick Ifillage Hall and was a very successful way of marking Remembrance Sunday. The
2023 Re￿rt and Accounts Flnal

regular Remembrance Day servi¢e at Mattingley Bus Shelter was a150 well attended. It has become
a regular tradition that at the beginning of De￿rnber the Whitewater School Parent Teacher
Association hold an informal Carol service with refreshments outdoors in Ihe Rotherwick church
grounds, huge fun and well attended.
We decided not to offer 'Carols in the Bam, this year because of our reduced team, but our Carol
Service al Rotherwick indoors was superb, including the moving interlude provided by our hand bell
ringers.
Thank you to everyone who has enabled us to continue our lovely worship in beautiful churches.
For our sides-people, readers, those who lead prayers, serve the chalice, and bring people to
churGh.
The Churchwardens
The Churchwardens have again been most diligent in carrying out their responsibilities regarding
services and the fabric of the churches and our thanks go to them and their supporting Deputies
and Sidesmen for all their work.
The Churchwardens continue to maintain the Health and Safety systems in each of their churches
for compliance with Health and Safety legislation. There is a file of documentation in each church,
and it was reviewed again by the PCC in 2023.
Canon Marion de Quidt
The Organlsts
We started the year wilh a change in the pattern of Sunday services to accommodate the loss of
Shona. To do this Michael Steen agreed to lake on playing for the Mattingley 11am service when
possible, Stephen Davies plays music for the Rotherwick 11am service and Martin Barnes
accompanies Rothetwick evensong. I do appreaate all their help. This has left me with a reduced
committnenl for the two Heckfield services a month.
I have written about the diffi(xJlties of finding organists and am delighted to report that Jason Drury
is now helping me at Heckfield when possible.
Our three organs have given us some minor problems this year but continue lo give good support
to our services.
Richard Joyce, Organist
The Bell-Ringers
This year has seen a continuation of the progress made by our ringers, both novice and more
experienced, meaning thatwe have a wider pool of ringers to call upon to ring for services, weddings
and other special O￿a$lOnS. We continue to run our practice nights at Rotherwick every Tuesday
evening, and our monthly practi￿ at Heckfield on the first Thursday of the month. We have been
able to ring for the 11am services held at Rotherwick and Heckfield in addition to the monthly
Evensong service at Rotherwick. and the bells are chimed at Mattingley for the 11am services there
as well.
The greatest excitement in 2023 was ringing to celebrate the King's Coronation. We had ringers at
Rotherwick, Heckfield and Mattingley and the bells were rung at all three towers at 3 O'clock in the
afternoon. After ringing for half an hour, we held an 'Open Towerf, at Rotherwick for the "Ring for
The King" initiative and, despite the awftjl weather, we had an amazing response- wilh queues of

the ladders to look at the actual bellsl
We continue to ring for weddings at all the churches. We also rang the hand bells al the Nine
Lessons and Carols al Rothemck, and took the hand bells to the Coach and Horses for an evening
of carols before Chrislmas.
W8 are always happy to welcome anyone who might be interested to come and find out more.
NIGI Collins, Tower Secretary, RotherwiGk and Heckfield
The Flower Arranging Teams
Each of the d)urGhes has a Flower Team which decorates throughout the year. These teams are
led by Dee Betts (Heckfield), Jill Soundy (Matlingley) and Elspeth Cavendish (Rotherwick) and the
Ghurchwardens are particulady grateful to them and their teams for their hard work making the
churches so beautiful for every service, especially at Easter and Christmas.

BENEFICE SAFEGUARDING TEAM
Both Hook and HMR'S PCC have complied with their duty under Section 5 of the Safeguarding and
Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 {duty lo have regard to House of Bishops 'guidance on
safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).
The role of Safeguarding Officer is now jointly held by members of the Hook PCC who have
benefited from a good handover from Martin Rudd who resigned from this position in 2023. Both
Hook and HMR PCC'S have considered and approveé bolh (Hook and HMR) Parish Safeguarding
Policies and received a report on current safeguarding COn￿rnS from a Safeguarding offI￿r or the
Rector at each PCC meeting.
PCC members and relevant leaders and members of groups have been asked to undertake relevant
Safeguarding training as advised in the diocese safeguarding training matrix and uptake of this
training continues to improve. DBS checks are being undertaken as Cu￿ent ￿rtifi.cates expire or
new volunteers take up roles.
The requirement to recA)rd relevant risk assessments for various church groups has been noted and
remains work in progress.
A small number of safeguarding concerns have arisen which have been managed
and/or escalated appropriately following the approved Diocesan Safeguarding procedures.
Caroline Frolander and Sophie Fulpesi
BENEFICE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM
HMR parish has continued to be closely connected with St John's Hook in the management of
communications, with the shared Website {whitewaterchurches.co.uk
and the weekly noti
sheet. We are also starting to move towards a greater adoption of iKnow within HMR - this is used
for Marion's emails. management of Life Events eg Weddings and to manage the rotas {which has
simplified the work required to co-ordinate Services). In addition, since Shona has left the comms
team has taken on Ihe HMR Facebook page and the Church of England A Church Nearyou (ACNY)
website. An update to ACNY means it manages benefice5 better, and we publish one event or
story, which is Shar￿ across all churches in that Benefice, so it now makes sense to have a central
contact manage both parishes. By meeting Marion monthly as a team, we are able to ensure a
2023 Report and Account5 Final

consistent approach across various streams of social media. We would love to have someon8 from
HMR join our team or even provide photographs of events they attend for publicity on Facebook or
the website. For more information please talk lo Anna.
The HMR PCC would like to thank June for her help with producing the Christmas Services Card of
which 780 copies were delivered to almost every house in the parish and to many outside bulwithin

OTHER MINISTRY REPORTS
Whitewater Church of England School
Whitewater School is now flourishing, following the decision to join the school collaboration in
December 2021, with Mr Glen Golding as Executive Head and Mr Steve Moore as Head of School.
We now have Michelle Elle as Head of Whitewater School, and retain our status as a Church of
England Voluntary Controlled School.
Following the positive Otsted Report published in January 2023, with a good rating in every area.
we had a SIAMS (Statutory Inspection for Anglican and Methodist Schools) inspection in summer
2023. The outcome was again, Good. This rneans that the school's distinctive Christian vision,
established and promoted by leadership at all levels, is enabling pupils and adults to flourish. The
impact of collective worship was also rated Good. We believe this accurately reflects the values and
vision of the school. A new mural in the school corridor, a painting of a Red Kite, with the words
'Don't just fly, soar high, illustrates the new energy in the school. The values of Love, Respect and
Courage continue lo underpin behaviours and attitudes throughout the school at all levels.
2023 Report and Accounts Final

We support the school with two Foundation Governors.. Marion, and Stephen Davies (Hook).
Stephen has taken a lead in the new Collaboralion leadership team across the five schools
(Bramley, Bi5hopswood Juniors, Bishopswood Infants, Silchester and Whitewater). Our 'Open the
Book, team are welcorned for their Bible story-telling. Marion has led alternate weekly worship on
Thursdays, assists with additional Religious Education learning, and leads services of the whole
school in RotherwiGk Church for Festivals such as Harvest, Remembrance, Christmas and Easter.
HMR churches gave the Year 6 Leavers children a Bible in the summer 2023, and all children were
given an Easter Egg at the end of the Spring term.
Canon Marion d8 Quidt. Foundation Governor
Open the Book Whitewater School
The Open the Book Team rLJntinues to visit the school every ￿ weeks in temi time. In September
we started to use new materials written by Bob Hartman and endorsed by the Bible Society. The
new book works well giving children the opportunity to take part. We involve the children in 'telling
the stories, which they enjoy immensely, this enhances their learning of the Bible and we link this to
the School Values.
The team is excellent, and we are always looking at diffe￿nt costumes and props lo make the story
more authentic. In March we were able to lead the children through 'Walk through Easter,, held in
Rotherwick Church, this was a full day evenl for the children from the year group selected by the
School. The event was very popular with the children and staff, as they gained a greater
understanding of Holy week and its meaning.
I would like to thank the team for all that they bring to Open the Book for their hard work and
commitment.

ROTHERWICK CHURCH
It has been a quiet year. The most significant change is the hand-crafted replacement fen￿ that is
now in place. It looked especially smartwhen itfirstwent up but has since weathered in and memory
of the Iwisted and broken one it replaced is fast fading. The mowing team mow and clear debris
around the graveyard at the front of the Church from May until October. Thank you to Eliza for
organising this and all the volunteers for giving up their time and for their hard work. The leaves that
had accumulated in the roof valleys have been cleared. The Church interior is kept tidy and clean
by a volunteer team led by Angi and Trish, and thanks go to the whole team for their efforts. The
flower team add their own magic to make the interior of the church look so wonderful. Thank you to
them. A particular thanks to their leader Elspeth who also single handedly sorted out the nativity
scene at Christmas and put it away afterwards. Spinning the altsr around is not an easy thing to do
on your own.
The communion silver is all present and accounted for. We are looking to do a fuller audit of the
inventory in the year ahead as well as progressing other outstanding jobs including the replacement
tree in the churchyard that was ment'oned in last yearfs report.

FINANCE REPORT
Income and Expenditure 2023
The Financial Statements are set out at the end of the Annual Report on pages FS14, from which
it can be seen that the PCC'S largest and most imporlant source5 of income are regular giving.
Collections, donalions, and the associated GiftAid recovery. These decreased by £6,530 (11 % ) this
year to £53.086, contribuling to an overall excess of expenditure over income of £2,746 (in 2022
income exceeded expenditure by £3,918). This is after grants received from the Heckfield School
Charity of £21,818 without which the deficit would have been much more difficult to manage.
This excess of expenditure over income of £2,746 was more than offset by unrealised investment
gains of £6,294 towards the end of the year, resulting in an overall in-flow of funds for the year of
£3,548, which was a welcome addition lo reserves. Unfortunately the increase in value of
investments cannot be guaranteed each year (in 2022 there were investmenl losses of £8.926).
Stewardship
The PCC'S annual costs for ministy, services and administration are about£70.000. and to preserve
the three listed-building churches for future generations a further £30,000 will likely be spent each
year on maintaining these churches and their churchyards. It will be a considerable challenge to
raise £100,000 in 2024 to cover these costs. As the costs increase each year, it was disappointiThJ
to See the largest source of income, Giving. decrease so much in 2023. Regular giving should
provide a steady guaranteed income stream, and we continue to seek a Parish Stewardship Officer
who can assist the PCC with increasing this essential financial support.
Common Mission Fund
The Common Mission Fund (CMF) is our parish contribution to the Diocese budget and is by far our
largest expenditure. It pays for our ministry cost, and also support of the national church's mission.
The Gontribution is based on our worshipping community. which is the number of people who attend
¢hur¢h regularly, and il comprises a stsndard amount per person to which an affluen￿ band
weighting is then applied (HMR is in the highest band).
Our worshipping community is 56 people. but, as numbers have reduced in recent years, and as
the parish contribution is based on a 5-year rolling average, it was actually calculated for 2023 on
li
2023 Reporr and Accounts Final

75 people with an assessment of £700 per person totalling £52,458. Our 2024 CMF contribution will
decrease to £45.264 based on 68 people at £666 per person, which is a welcome reduction.
Reserves Pollcy
It is the policy of the PCC to maintain reserves in the Unrestricted Fund equivalent to approximately
one year's net regular expenditure li.e. excluding capital projects, and excluding outgoings on the
Mattingley Church Hall which are normally more than covered by its own income). The Restricted
Funds are mainlained for specific purposes, the details of which are given in the notes to the financial
statements. The balan￿ of reserves carried fornard at the end of the year was Unrestricted Funds
£76,021 {equivalent to 9 months net regular expenditure) and Restricted Funds £102.659.
Investment Policy
Unrestrided and Restricted Funds tolalled £178,680 at 31 st December. Of this sum, £110,163 was
held in the bank and on short temi deposit within the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund. A further
£73,196 was invested in units of the CBF Investment Fund, which is an equity-based fund designed
for long-lemi capital.
The Heckfield School Charity
During the year Grants were received from The Heckfield School Charity {HSC) of £21.818 (2022 -
£19.071). The charity has its origins in the receipt of the Heckfield Church of England School land
and buildings, and its objects are to further the religious and other charitable work of the Church of
England in the parish of Heckfield with Mattingley and Rotherwick. It is a connected charity, and
also an excRpted charity for the purposes of the Charities Act 2011. The managing Imslees are the
incumbent and the churchwardens for the time being. The cust¢xlian trustee is the Winchester
Diocesan Board of Finance.
