Parish of Swaythling St Alban’s Church and St Mary’s Church

Annual report of the Parochial Church Council for the Year 2021

St Alban’s Church, Tulip Road St Mary’s Church, South Stoneham

The Parish of Swaythling was created in 1992, having been formed by combining the previously separate adjacent parishes of St Mary, South Stoneham and St Alban the Martyr, Burgess Road, Swaythling. The Vicarage is 357 Burgess Road, Southampton, SO16 3BD. This address also covers St Alban's Church where the Parish Office is situated. St Mary's Church and the Parish Hall are situated in St Mary's Church Close, off Wessex Lane, SO18 2ST, about a mile from the Vicarage.

The website is www.swaythlingparish.org.uk and the facebook is facebook.com/SwaythlingParish. The Parish registered with the Charity Commission on 5 February 2010 with the title ‘ The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Swaythling ' (registered charity number 1134132).

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) manages the financial affairs of the parish and also, as required under the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956, co-operates with the Minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

REVIEW OF THE YEAR 2021

We were pleased to welcome Matt Hutchings who joined us for six months from January as part of an informal internship programme

We were delighted to welcome Daniela Eisentraeger as our new Curate from the start of July 2021. She was ordained Deacon at Winchester Cathedral, on 4 July, and we welcomed her at all three services on 11 July.

Bishop Debbie with Daniela, at Daniela's ordination at Winchester Cathedral

Three members of our congregation completed their Bishop's Commission for Mission training in Autumn 2019, but their commissioning service was delayed due to COVID, and at last took place at Winchester Cathedral on 11 September 2021.

We were saddened this year by the death of several long-standing members of our congregations: Don Biffen, Kate and Nigel Harley, Elizabeth Hawes, Jack Morgan and Alan Williams.

The death of John Davies on 13th April at the age of 92 was a particularly sad event in the life of the parish during 2021. John occupied a unique position in parish history having been Honorary Assistant Priest at St Alban’s since 1964

and then in the Parish of Swaythling since 1992 when St Alban’s joined with St Mary’s, South Stoneham in the new parish. Until his retirement in 1994, John combined his ministerial duties with his ‘day job’ at Southampton University where he was Lecturer in Theology and latterly Director of Theology and Religious Studies. He had also been Canon Theologian of Winchester Cathedral from 1981 to 1991.

As assistant priest, John played a full and active role in leading worship until the lockdown began in March 2020. He combined his liturgical and musical skills and knowledge to good effect, especially at the parish

eucharist. When not officiating or assisting at services he often provided the musical accompaniment as he was a talented organist and pianist. John had served under four vicars of St Alban’s when it was a separate parish and took ministerial responsibility during the vacancies between incumbents. He also served under three vicars of the Parish of Swaythling. A memorable Thanksgiving Service for John’s life within a celebration of the eucharist took place on 20th August.

Finance

It is pleasing to be able to report that COVID restrictions have not interfered greatly with the Parish financial situation this year. However, our overall assets are considerably less than last year, due mainly to transferring £40,000 from the deposit account in order to carry out the building work at St. Alban’s. The work has been completed and the VAT on the expenditure (just below the anticipated cost) will be reclaimed in 2022.

PCC

The PCC met seven times during the year. Five of those meetings were via Zoom due to Covid restrictions, the PCC also made use of the changes to Church Representative Rules that allow formal business to be decided by correspondence. Some business was conducted through sub committees and groups.

As had been the case in 2020, the main activity of the PCC during the year was responding to the challenges of COVID, especially how to make the most of the opportunities the easing of restrictions created for returning to in-person worship and activity.

Other important elements of standard business considered by the PCC during the year included:

Although the bottom line for giving is less than in 2020, this is because we received some very generous donations last year. Both gift-aided giving and collections have increased this year. Thanks are extended to those who are using on-line methods of giving; this makes it very much easier to predict our income and hence plan our expenditure accordingly.

The Parish summary of accounts at the end of the year shows an unusually high amount for the Parish Share. This is because of a misunderstanding by the Diocese, who took two extra payments. This amounts to nearly £5,000 and will be refunded in 2022.

Income from users of the Community Room, Parish Hall, Parish Office and the churches is a welcome source of funding.

Expenditure for heating, lighting and water were lower this year but it is anticipated that it will increase considerably in 2022.

Unfortunately, because of COVID restrictions, the Christingle Service at St Mary’s was significantly reduced in size and hence the donation to The Children’s Society was less than usual.

We are very grateful to have been voted by the community to receive part of the “Community Come Together” funding to set up ‘The Cave’ at St. Alban’s: a

meeting place for young people living in the local area.

All in all, the Parish has managed well in what has been a difficult time.

Parish Life

Electoral Roll

Electoral Roll

At the Annual Parochial Church Meeting in April 2021 there were 87 people on the electoral roll (88 in 2020).

Church Attendance

From January to the end of March 2021 there was no public worship in the church buildings. On line recorded Sunday worship attracted an average of 40 households logging on. In person services resumed after Easter and the numbers logging on dropped. The Pandemic continued to affect attendance at services in person – a few people did not return for various reasons, others did not attend as regularly as before though were still in touch and then there has been a significant number of new people attending or those who previously attended less often doing so more frequently. The average Sunday attendance for 8.00 am and 10.15 combined from April onwards was 36. Threshold continued to meet on line until Easter, and then in person with an average attendance of 10 people.

Worship

2021 saw the start of the third national lockdown and a return to online services. Learning from previous experiences we continued our church life remotely, with a recorded morning service and Threshold held via Zoom. The Vicar sent out regular midweek online reflections during this time. Social activities were held too – a church quiz on Zoom in early February, and a Quiz for Amaudo in March, half-term craft packs for local families for Shrove Tuesday and Valentines day, with a family-orientated Facebook live session. A fiveweek Lent group on the psalms was held via Zoom. A short recorded Ash Wednesday service was held.

23 March marked the anniversary of the beginning of the first national lockdown, and as a parish we

supported the Marie Curie Charity’s Day of Reflection, when we were encouraged to pause at 12.00 noon for a minute’s silence and to offer a prayer: ‘God of Love, As we think about all that has changed this year, help us to trust that you are always with us. As we

remember those who have died, help us to trust they are at peace with you. As we reach out to others with kindness and care, may hope shine out in every heart and home. Amen.

In the lead up to Easter an Easter trail was set up in the churchyard at St Mary's Church and prayer stations in the garden area at St Alban's Church, to help us reflect on the challenges of the past year, and on the miracle of Easter, and the hope that it brings.

We were delighted to be able to resume in-person worship during Holy Week and then from Easter Sunday, 4 April at the 8.00am and 10.15am services. A recorded service continued to be offered at 10.00am on YouTube, until the end of June. Threshold resumed in person on 18 April.

From 19 July Covid restrictions officially ended but we retained a number of Covid secure measures to help ensure people felt safe at in person worship. It was a big step forward when congregational singing was reintroduced into our services from 25 July 2022.

Swaythling Parish – Annual Report 2021

Tuesdays together was able to re-start in September, but took a slightly different form – the last Tuesday of the month is now "Tuesdays Together does Messy Church", a themed session with crafts and activities in the main church building, a time of celebration with a message around the same theme and a shared meal in the community room. The remaining weeks of the month we offer board games in the community room.

On 7 November we held our annual service to remember and give thanks for loved ones who had died, at which, as usual, names of those who had died were read and everyone present was invited to light a candle in memory of their loved ones.

On 14 November we marked Remembrance Sunday with a short ceremony at the war memorial at the end of our morning service, where we were joined by Scouts, Cubs and Beavers. We were very pleased for the first time to be joined by representatives from the new Sikh Gurdwara.

We had planned that our Christmas services would take place as usual; however at short notice, due to a rise in Covid cases and the small size of St Mary's Church, it was decided to move the carol service to outside the church.

For the first time, a ‘walking nativity’ took place on 22 December in Mansbridge and on 23 December on the Flower Roads. We were very pleased to be able to return to holding our usual Christingle services at both churches. There was one well attended Midnight service, at St Mary’s, with advance booking to ensure the congregation could be accommodated safely. On Christmas day Holy Communion (BCP) took place at St Mary’s at 8.00am, and we were pleased to be again joined by members of the Baptist church for a Christmas celebration with Holy Communion at St Alban’s at 10.15.

Builders and Trekkers : Builders and Trekkers resumed at the 10:15 service in September. After several years of struggling to provide good all age material to cover 2-12 year olds, it was decided to focus on younger ages (6 and under currently) in order to use more age-appropriate material. The main challenge to this provision is the limited number of people able to lead the sessions, although parents of the children attending support by taking the role of ‘additional adult’.

Community Engagement

Recipe box delivery : During 2021, we continued to partner with City Catering to provide to provide 60 local families, mainly identified through local schools, with recipe boxes during the School holidays. These contained all the ingredients for at least two meals, along with recipes and several times we also added activities and crafts as well. From September we took only a handful of boxes for families we had got to know who weren’t receiving them through other routes, while local schools took on delivery of the rest. The scheme formally ended in December 2021.

Thursdays Together : Every Thursday morning (including during Lockdown, adjusted for applicable restrictions) we welcomed people to St Alban’s for hot drinks, conversation and to offer various items of food

page 5 of 8

Swaythling Parish – Annual Report 2021

to support those finding it difficult to make ends meet.

Many came each week, some from time to time. At a practical level we provided a range of fresh and longlife foods, laid out on tables so that those visiting could select what they most needed, rather than being handed a bag they have had no choice about (although this was the only option in the beginning due to restrictions in place). Each week limits are suggested based on what stock was available, to ensure fairness and preserve stock. Those attending could enjoy a hot drink and snacks, with many people often staying to chat and catch up with others.

A highlight in December was when several people joined together to make the Christingles for our services. Only one person who helped knew what these were, leading to some wonderful conversations about Christingles and Christmas, with one family then coming to the service for the first time, and later to the 10.15 service on a Sunday as well.

Frontline Debt Advice : We were really pleased to welcome

Frontline Debt to its new base in St Alban's Church, from 24 May. The Team are available on Mondays and Wednesdays, offering free debt advice by appointment.

‘The Cave’ project – We were delighted to receive an award of £4,000 from the Community Come Together Fund to enable to us to refresh and equip the downstairs vestry and outside car park space at St Alban's to be used as a venue for young people. Work on the space will begin in 2022. (See also under St Alban’s below).

Friday Lunch Club , which had continued to operate through a ‘home delivery service’ started again in person in the community room 1 October, and it was a joy to welcome old and new friends to it. Monthly numbers are growing and we continue to deliver a meal to those who are currently unable or prefer not to attend in person.

Pastoral Care

Contact with all church members continued as before during the lockdown at the beginning of the year. With the return to in-person worship at Easter, changing attendance patterns and the welcome arrival of new worshippers, it was decided to look again at the way pastoral care is offered. Proposals for a new system were being finalised as the year ended.

Social Activities

As in 2020, due to coronavirus restrictions it was not possible to hold the usual social/fund-raising activities. On 10 July we again ran a ‘Cream Tea in a Bag’ Fundraiser, providing take-away cream teas for a donation of £5.

accepted. It is hoped that the work itself can be carried out during the first quarter of 2022.

St Alban's Church

Report on the Fabric, Fixtures and Grounds

The main building-related activity at St Alban’s during 2021 was the work on the structural repairs, originally highlighted in the 2018 quinquennial inspection report and which involved repairs on the tower turret, in the tower room, in the floor of the Lady Chapel and in the nave of the church. As noted in the previous year’s report, detailed specifications and costings had been obtained in the latter part of 2020 which meant that diocesan permission to carry out the work could be applied for in early 2021. Permission was granted on 17 January and as the proposed repairs fell within the scope of work that could be undertaken without a faculty but subject to consultation (known as ‘List B’ in the Faculty Jurisdiction Rules) a full faculty was not required. The contractor appointed was B&M Clark, a conservation building firm based in Portsmouth, and most of the work took place between May and July, with the final part (the Lady Chapel floor) being completed in September. A separate but related work was the renewal of the lightning conductor on the church tower which was carried out by the specialist firm Wallbridge in July. As part of this work the flag pole on the church tower was removed as the flag pole, which had been connected to the old lightning conductor, was the major cause of the damage on the tower turret and has not been replaced.

Another building-related activity was the development of plans to refurbish the largest of the downstairs rooms (previously the choir vestry) and the adjacent cloakroom area for use as a youth centre. This project, known colloquially as The Cave, was enabled financially by the award of a grant by Southampton Community Chest. Permission for this work has been obtained from the diocese, again as a List B item, and a quotation from B&M Clark for the major structural work has been received and

The final building related issue for report relates to the flat roof at the east end of the building and which covers the clergy vestry and the back stairs. Currently a lead roof, it is in poor condition and there were many instances of water leakage onto the stairs during the year. Investigations for replacing the roof have begun and these have involved Fiona Hood, the church’s inspecting architect. The possibility of using a non-lead material for the replacement is part of the investigation.

Community Room

At the start of 2021, and due to the third lockdown (until March 2021), the community room was used mainly for Thursdays Together, hosted outside the church at the start of the year, and then moving inside once restrictions were lifted.

As events were gradually permitted to be held inside, the keep fit class returned, and some of the regular church events returned, including the Friday Lunch Club, and Tuesdays Together. In addition, the room was also used for a community cooking course in the Autumn, with attendees from Thursdays Together and other local community connections.

City Life Church, having moved out of 286 Burgess Road in the summer, started using the community room occasionally for meetings, and once a month on Sundays. Frontline Debt (see under ‘community engagement) have had occasional use of the room for seeing clients and for meetings.

Paid hires have been fewer than in previous years, meaning income from the hire of the room to help cover expenses has been significantly less in 2021. Expenditure has been higher, due to extra cleaning, Covid precautions, and increasing fuel costs.

St Mary’s Church

St Mary's Church: Report on the Fabric, Furnishings and Grounds

The roof replacement project is ongoing. There has been significant money raised through legacies and we are close to being able to apply for match funding, but more will need to be raised in 2022. There is now full permissions from the Diocese in place to carry out this work.

A loyal band of helpers meet each week on a Tuesday morning to tend to the churchyard. The Scouts have provided a Bug Hotel and the beginning of a log pile.

The crab apple tree again produced lots of fruit which was made into jelly and sold in aid of the roof fund.

hall users for helping to clear up, to Carlton Carver from the Scouts for repairs and Westfield Players for decorating. Also a big thank you to the gardening team who meet on Tuesdays to clear the carpark and maintain the gardens, cut grass and raking neverending leaves etc. The building is looking good, broken locks have been replaced and the building is becoming popular with more enquiries for more groups.

Friends of St Alban’s and St Mary’s

Neither Friends Group has been active in 2021 primarily due to Covid restrictions.

Parish Hall

The hall had little use during the beginning of 2021; the QR code, hand sanitisers and attendance record remained in place for the minimal use it had.

Most of the groups returned from May/June; extra cleaning was done during the week and requirement from groups after use. During August there was a summer club for children which was popular. Unfortunately the hall was broken into in in early August; some damage was done to the inside cupboards and interior doors. Thanks are due to the

The roof on the hall will require replacing soon, and some damp patches above the sink in the kitchen will need attention.

Deanery Synod

The Synod met on three occasions during 2021, all on zoom. Discussions centred on Clergy Wellbeing, on the implications of reorganisation of parishes, and on the various opportunities for training and authorisation offered by the Bishops Commission for Mission courses. Plans were being made to hold a Deanery wide course on Zoom to explore the Living in Love and Faith report.

Approved by the PCC and signed on their behalf:
