Churchwardens’ Report for 2023

This report is concerned with the state of the Church building, as required by the Care of Churches and Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Measure 1991, and the Church Hall for the 2023 calendar year.

We are not aware of any serious, outstanding problems with the Church building. We have a continuing commitment to carry out maintenance works to the building in line with the architect’s quinquennial inspection report as resources allow.

There are no known major structural problems. We do, of course, have an ongoing, list of maintenance work. All the matters which the quinquennial considered to be urgent have been attended to. The statutory test of the lightning conductor was carried out on 2[nd] October and the certificate of compliance issued. There were some problems with the organ and on 7[th] October some repairs were carried out which make it possible to use it without spending large sums of money on it.

We have been exploring a major refurbishment project with the architect for this Grade 1 Listed Building. This would include dealing with the drainage and maintenance of the structure outside and to rewire the electricity system, replace the lighting and heating, repair the floors and walls and the decoration inside. This will be a major project and will need detailed planning as we will need to look for grants in order to carry out the work. A sub-group of the PCC is dealing with this and reports back to the full PCC regularly.

Although it is not necessarily within the remit of this report, we do include mention of the church hall building. The floor of the main hall needs attention and we plan to have the floor and the structure beneath replaced during the summer break when there are fewer regular users. It is important that we maintain the hall as the income from it helps with our finances. We thank Cheryl and Holley, supported by Mike, for all they do to make the hall successful. We are very grateful that they have continued to manage their roles as Hall Managers despite their own personal difficulties caused by the fire in their home.

We know that the future of the Vicarage and surrounding land is a concern for all our parishioners. All that plot including the part we know as the paddock belongs to the Diocese and they plan to sell it eventually. We need to establish the boundaries of the Hall plot which belongs to us and does not belong to the Diocese and we need to have it registered at the Land Registry so that our boundaries are recognised. Whilst this is happening the Diocese will let the house and they will have that income.

Honeybees has continued to be a place where young families can meet and play and socialise and we thank all the team involve in this for their hard work. Coffee morning on Thursday mornings in the hall has become a great social event. Thanks to all the team that make this such a success.

Thanks to Judith and Mandy for the Messy Church sessions they managed to run during 2023. Attendance has been very low and they decided to close at the end of the year. Since then Revd. Sarah has been working to start again with a different format and we look forward to the outcome of this during 2024.

We held our special services as usual, Remembrance Sunday, 9 Lessons and Carols, Christingle, Midnight Communion and Christmas Morning services. We give our sincere thanks to Mark, John and Sarah for all the services they have conducted, for their pastoral support and for all that they have done to bring the Word of the Lord to our community during this year. We thank Mandy Keech for producing and leading the Christingle services again this year.

This has been a very challenging year financially although we have managed to pay our full Family Purse again. Many thanks to Danny for keeping us up to date with the situation even if the news is unpalatable.

We thank those who have worked on planning and delivering events to raise funds to support the work of this church. Fund raising has been challenging as we no longer have people who are able to support the big events as they have in the past and we need to plan events which our aging congregation can manage. Every member of this church needs to consider what part they can play.

We thank all those who have been providing pastoral care by keeping in touch by phone and visits with those less able or housebound.

We have many people who work quietly keeping everything looking good and running smoothly; the gardeners, the cleaners, the flower arrangers, refreshment providers, the Storehouse contacts, all who helped in services and all those not mentioned but who have done valuable work. They keep the building cared for and looking beautiful and the upkeep of the churchyard is carried out by a band of volunteers including Don with his ride-on mower, so it is maintained and cared for to provide a peaceful space for visitors.

We look forward to 2024 with optimism and pray for our newly appointed vicar Carolyn Madanat that St Laurence and St Aidan’s families will flourish and that we will be able to bring the Word to more and more people our neighbourhoods.

Glen Snowdon Veronica Newman.

Parish Safeguarding Representative

Mrs Judith Wiseman

At the first PCC meeting on May 14[th] 2023 the following posts were elected PCC Secretary Mrs Veronica Newman Treasurer Mr Danny Keech Electoral Roll Officer Mr Phillip Miller Other appointments made were: Lay Vice-chair Mr Martin Newman Deputy Vice-chair Mr Glen Snowdon Hall Manager Mrs Cheryl Barwell Tree Officer Mr Glen Snowdon Link to The Friends of St Laurence Mrs Cheryl Barwell Chair of Travel Trust Fund Mr Martin Newman

The business of the PCC has continued with bi-monthly meetings of the full council and continued the practice of splitting into sub-committees to allow greater discussion on particular issues. Each sub-committee reports back to the full PCC for their approval of any decisions.

Sidespeople were appointed by the PCC at the first full Council meeting.

David Allen has continued updating the parish website and our thanks to Sarah Rachell who is able to post the weekly news sheet and advertise events on the church Facebook page and to Holley Barwell who posts information concerning the Hall and the Honeybees baby and toddler group. I continued to produce the weekly news sheet and my letter which is sent out with it is an attempt to keep people connected and informed of events in the lives of the church family.

The Buildings and Finance Team monitors the financial position of the Church and sets the budget. They also consider the needs of the church building and the Church Hall and report regularly to the full PCC. Please see the separate Treasurer’s Report. The Refurbishment project team have met with the church architect and plans are on-going.

The Fundraising Team plans fund raising events for church and charity and these take place throughout the year. Events are reviewed at each meeting of the Fundraising team and

adjusted as necessary. Our thanks to Colin Banks for the Beetle and Bingo sessions and for so ably supporting church social events. At the October meeting it was decided that the whole PCC should be involved in the planning for fundraising events as the team was very low on numbers.

The Pastoral Team continued to support church members and pastoral concerns. When needs are identified the team arrange for support as appropriate. A shared lunch for Harvest was enjoyed and a Christmas social was held. A proposed Pancake Party lunch on Shrove Tuesday was cancelled due to lack of interest. The Coffee Morning is a thriving social occasion and the Lunch Club on the third Sunday of the month has continued to be well attended.

The Mission and Ministry Team continues to consider ways to develop our mission in the parish. New service booklets have been developed with Rev Mark and Rev John approving the changes. Mandy Keech has led assemblies at Heycroft School and Kingsdown School and Eastwood Primary have visited the church. Mandy also led the Christingle services, two for Kingsdown School and another on Christmas Eve for the parish.

The food collection for Storehouse continues to help meet the needs of local people who are having financial difficulties and our thanks are due to those who donate to this cause and to those who deliver the goods collected. Storehouse were pleased to receive the toys from our Toy Service which were distributed to local needy children.

Risk assessments for the church building and the church hall have been updated and modified on a regular basis as required.

In December we held a joint meeting with the Archdeacon and St Aidan’s PCC. the Archdeacon was hopeful that an advertisement at the end of December could be more fruitful than the previous advertisements. This has proved correct and Revd. Carolyn Madanat has accepted the position as Priest-in-charge of both churches.

In January Judith Wiseman resigned as Parish Safeguarding Officer and the Standing Committee appointed me in her place as I had completed the necessary training.

I thank all the members of the PCC who have carried out so many duties faithfully and especially the other Churchwardens for their support especially when we have been particularly busy. My thanks also to Martin for his help and expertise when needed.

Veronica Newman: PCC Secretary

2023 TREASURERS REPORT

2023 has proved to be another very difficult year for St. Laurence Church.

Looking at our General Fund which can be regarded as our Trading Account.

Our income has Increased by some £4264 to £55520.

Our expenditure has remained basically static at £53500.

Planned giving through Standing Orders increased by nearly £3000 but Loose plate collections fell by £500.

“One Off” Gift Aid Gifts increased by £1200 but it is worth noting that many people have donated back expenses they had claimed from us and for this I am grateful.

We received a legacy of £32800 which has been placed to our Fabric Fund.

Unfortunately during the year we lost a number of members who gave by Standing Order and as is always the case the these longer standing members tend to be the largest donors.

Giving through the Envelope Scheme has shown a substantial drop of some £1000 and there are now only a few members who give in this way. I would ask that you consider this and possibly move to Bank giving. Those who wish to give in an envelope could complete a “one off” gift aid envelope or simply put their donation in as loose plate in the collection bags each week.

I would of course be happy to supply the Church Bank Account details to anybody who wishes to pay by Standing Order. This would have the added benefit of reducing our Bank Charges as we are charged more for paying in cash than automated items.

I am pleased that in 2023 we were able to meet our obligations to Chelmsford Diocese and we have received a new assessment for 2024 which we feel we will be able to meet in full albeit that this new figure involves us sharing a Vicar with St. Aidens.

The Hall continues to be very successful and the balance has increased by £8393 and we did not have to transfer any funds to the Church. My thanks to Cheryl and Holley Barwell for all their hard work.

Looking forward Utility Bills will undoubtedly cause an increase in our Expenditure. There was an increase of £1500 this year.

In summary: We are just about breaking even and I would ask that, those of you who are able to, consider your personal giving to St. Laurence.

My thanks go to the Churchwardens for keeping me abreast of what is happening with regard to funerals etc. and any expenditure which has had to be made.

Finally my thanks to Peter Chandler for all his help when I am at a loss as to what to do and to my long suffering Wife for putting up with me when the figures do not tally and I lose it!

Danny Keech (Treasurer)

Safeguarding Annual Report 2023-24

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of St Laurence and All Saints takes seriously its responsibility to protect and safeguard the welfare of children and vulnerable adults. The church website has details concerning the policies and best practice we have adopted and addresses where contacts and advice are available. This church has a dedicated email address for safeguarding.

At the beginning of this year Judith resigned as Safeguarding officer and I was appointed Parish Safeguarding Officer and Lead Recruiter. Every member of the PCC has to carry out some on-line training courses for Safeguarding and needs to complete an enhanced DBS check as we are all Trustees of our Charity. The training varies according to the position held, as Deanery Lay-chair Martin had to complete further on-line courses and Glen and I have had to complete 4 online courses and as we had no incumbent we were also required to complete 2 two hour zoom sessions requiring homework before and after which then had to be submitted.

The Church of England produces materials for Safeguarding including a Parish Safeguarding Handbook, a copy of this is hanging on the PCC notice board for reference.

Veronica Newman St Laurence Parish Safeguarding Officer

Tree Officers Report. 2024

This year has been quite eventful, the storms have given us a bit of work to do. First the big Ash tree in the middle of the church yard lost one of its huge branches the debris was scattered over several graves and with the help of several volunteers as well as the regular gardening crew we were able to clear it all up in one section. Another storm saw one of the six trees at the bottom of the churchyard blown over and that tree was a big one. Martin and myself set about it with a chainsaw and gradually reduced it to manageable pieces to clear it away. Martin used some of the branches to make a lovely fence in its place. I had to finally cut down the old Cherry tree outside the kitchen window, it was completely riddled with very large beetles, so hopefully they found new homes in the woodpile at the bottom of the churchyard. Two small Elm Trees behind the electric transformer had died so they were also removed. There is one more tree causing concern on the lefthand side of the churchyard, that is being monitored at the moment but I fear that one also has died and will need removing. I would like to conclude this report by saying a big

thank you to all our gardening crew who are keeping our churchyard looking splendid and also a big thank you to the ladies who make us a very needed cup of tea at the end of our session.

Glen Snowdon
