Martin Newman updates the parish website and our thanks to Rev.Sarah Rachell who is able to post the weekly news sheet and advertise events on the church Facebook page. Our thanks to Holley Barwell who posts information concerning the Hall and the Honeybees baby and toddler group and Messy church has been advertised on Facebook by Jenny Booker.

Veronica Newman: PCC Secretary

2025 TREASURERS REPORT

2025 has proved to be another very difficult year for St. Laurence Church.

Planned Giving has remained static at circa £24500

Loose Plate Collection remained static at circa £5000

Voluntary receipts down £2000 at £8200 but this is due to a nonrecurring legacy of £2000 in 2024

Fundraising up £400 at £3400

Investment Income is down some £1300

Clery Staffing Cost down £4500 Due to non-recurring Vicarage refurb in 2024

Church Running cost up circa £6000 largely due to Tech Expenditure Card Machine £400 & Projector £4300

It is worth noting that many people have donated back expenses they had claimed from us and for this I am grateful.

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 that a 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.

I am pleased that in 2025 we were able to meet our obligations to Chelmsford Diocese. We have received a new assessment for 2026 at£45476 which we hope we will be able to meet in full.

The Hall continues to be very successful but we did have to transfer £5000 funds to the Church to balance expenditure. My thanks to Cheryl and Holley Barwell for all their hard work.

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)

St Laurence & All Saints Church, Eastwood, Southend on Sea, Essex

Churchwardens’ Report for 2025-26

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 immediate problems with the Church building. A Quinquennial inspection was due in 2025 and the church architect carried this out in November. Most of the work identified as necessary is included in the refurbishment project. This includes dealing with drainage away from the building of rainwater and the repair of some exterior stonework. Internally the damaged plaster needs replacing and a new heating and lighting system is included as well as redecoration. This is all included in the major refurbishment project with the architect for this Grade 1 Listed Building. This project needs detailed planning and grants in order to carry out the work. Martin Newman is leading this sub-group of the PCC and reports back to the full PCC regularly.

There are no known major structural problems. Following a leak being discovered there has been some repair to the south aisle roof.

The statutory test of the lightning conductor was carried out in October 2025 and the certificate of compliance issued. There are some problems with the organ and although it has limitations it can still be played but cannot be improved without spending large sums of money on it. Annual testing of the Fire extinguishers and PAT testing of electrical appliances are carried out at both the church and the hall.

Although it is not necessarily within the remit of this report, we do include the church hall building for which we are responsible and it is important for us to 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.

The Diocese has notified us that the Vicarage and its land will be sold.

Honeybees has continued to be a place where young families can meet and play and socialise and we thank the team involved 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 it such a success.

Thanks to Lindsay Wigington, Jenny Booker and Mandy Keech and the group of skilled helpers who support the work of Messy Church as we look to the future with our young families.

Revd Carolyn Madanat is now vicar of both churches in plurality instead of Priest in charge and we continue to have joint services for special times.

We thank those who have worked on planning and delivering events to raise funds to support the work of this church. Fund raising is always challenging but due to a good Christmas Fair and regular Bingo and Beetle Drives as well as other events and donations

and with help from the hall lettings we have again paid our full Family Share.

We thank Cheryl Barwell for her hard work and Holley Barwell for ensuring that the hall is cleaned and maintained in a good state. Many thanks to Danny for keeping us up to date with the financial situation and helping us to understand the information.

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 help in services, sidespeople, readers and intercessors, eucharist assistants 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. Sadly, Don with his ride-on mower has passed away recently, so new arrangements will be made for keeping the grass under control.

We give our sincere thanks to Mark and John for all the services they have conducted, for their pastoral support and to Revd Sarah our curate. We look forward in 2026 to continuing to work with Revd Carolyn and pray for both parishes St Laurence and St Aidan’s, that they will continue to develop and meet the needs of both parishes as we develop our ministry to all the people in our neighbourhoods.

Glen Snowdon Veronica Newman.

Safeguarding Annual Report 2025-2026

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 includes addresses where contacts and advice are available. We follow the Diocesan safeguarding policy and this church has a dedicated email address for safeguarding.

Every member of the PCC has to carry out some on-line training courses for Safeguarding as the Church of England takes it very seriously and each person has to complete an enhanced DBS check as all are Trustees of our Charity. All issues regarding safeguarding are taken seriously and dealt with appropriately by the Parish Safeguarding Officer.

Tree report

We have had a fairly active year as far as the trees are concerned Owing to the tragic accident that occurred in Chalkwell park it was decided that we needed to have an MOT on our own trees. We had a very thorough inspection of the trees by a qualified arborist . Unfortunately it was found that the two Ash trees (being the biggest in the churchyard) were diseased and there was nothing that could be done to prevent or stop this disease. So unfortunately they have to be removed. There also was a large branch on one of the trees at the front of the church that was pushing the front wall over so this has already been removed. The large trees will be removed as soon as can be fitted into the tree fellers busy schedule. Whilst the trees are being removed, the churchyard for safety sake, will be closed. There was a small Elm tree near the Lytch gate which had died, this also has been removed. May I take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped clear the fallen branches and debris around our churchyard.

Glen Snowdon
