ST ANDREW’S CHURCH HAUGHTON-LE-SKERNE
ANNUAL PAROCHIAL CHURCH MEETING (APCM)
To be held on Tuesday 4 May 2021 at 7.30pm In Church Hall and via Zoom
ANNUAL REPORTS FROM 2020 FOR 2021 APCM
Notes on the Reports
All the reports in this booklet cover the period January to December 2020. This includes the period of the Coronavirus pandemic from mid-March 2020 onwards. This caused several of the church’s normal activities and groups to be put on hold for most of the year, as COVID restrictions made it difficult or impossible for them to go ahead in alternative ways. It is hoped that many of them will resume in the future when there is a return to more normal life.
Thank you to all who have contributed reports for this booklet. And greater thanks to all of those, named or unnamed in the reports, who have given freely of their time, effort, gifts, abilities, money and love in the service of God and his people.
Jane Teague PCC Secretary 17 April 2021

Following the APCM in October 2020, the following were all appointed by the PCC to continue in their roles:
-
Andy Teague (Lay PCC Vice-Chair)
-
Alan Wright (Electoral Roll Officer)
-
Gill Jones (Parish Safeguarding Officer)
-
Sheila Harris (Health & Safety Officer)
-
Gill Jones and Jay Blackburn (PCC Members of the Standing Committee)
Cath Williams (acting PCC Secretary) was replaced by Jane Teague. No appointment of a PCC Treasurer was made, so the whole of 2020 passed without a Treasurer being in post.
After the APCM, the PCC also appointed:
- 4 assistant churchwardens - Val Bowman, Vince Elsbury, Sheila Harris, Lynne Kalandra
and
- 14 sidespersons - Nick Bassington, Pam Bassington, Val Bowman, Vince Elsbury, Pippa Foddering, Sheila Harris, Mike Hope, Raymond Jones, Carole Pearson, Sharon Phillips, Sue Robson, Karen Storey, Jane Teague, Chloe Turner.
In 2020 the PCC agenda has provided the opportunity for regular reports to be made to it by:
-
Finance Team
-
Safeguarding Officer
-
Health & Safety Officer
-
Shared Ministry Team
-
Deanery Synod reps
-
Diocesan Synod rep
-
Foodbank
-
CAP (Christians Against Poverty)
Further details from some of these people/groups are provided elsewhere in these reports.
Aside from considering the challenges caused by the pandemic and other items covered elsewhere in these reports, the PCC considered items on:
4
• Church Policy Updates including GDPR A review of the required church policies was started but considerable further work on them is needed.
• Card Reader in Church
Following installation early in 2020, there were some operating problems due to poor signal strength. Hopefully future installation of better broadband connection will solve them, and giving by people in the church building will be facilitated.
• Energy Audit
The audit showed that savings could be made with changes in the church building to lighting and the boiler, but would require expenditure on these items first. No decision has yet been made on this.
• Upkeep of Churchyard grounds and Memorial Cross garden Some people from MenMeet and Haughton-le-Skerne Local History Society volunteered to maintain these.
APCM 2020
Due to the pandemic the 2020 AVM and APCM were postponed from 29 March and took place on 19 October instead with a hybrid meeting held physically in the Church Hall and also online via ZOOM. Many thanks are due to Paul and Rachel Ryan for masterminding the virtual dimension of the meeting.
Shared Ministry Team
The Shared Ministry Team only met once in 2020 on 3 February due to COVID.
- Coping With COVID 19
COVID Group by COVID Group
During the first Coronavirus Lockdown the PCC formed a sub-group to look at matters relating to COVID-19. The group members are Mike Bird, Sue Chew, Mark East, Sheila Harris, Gill Jones, Sarah McTimoney and Andy Teague.
5
Immediately, a ‘St Andrew’s Self-Help’ WhatsApp group was set up to allow people to make requests for assistance with shopping or medicines etc. This has also proved an excellent route for communication. For those without access to the group, a mobile phone was set up and manned by Helen and John Kendrick. A weekly ‘Little Net Extra’ was produced to keep people informed and issued via email, post or hand delivered to the St Andrew’s Family.
During the pandemic both the government and the Church of England have issued a wealth of guidance with many updates. The COVID Group was tasked with keeping up to date with the guidance, assessing the COVID-19 related risks associated with all church activities, preparing timely recommendations for the PCC to make decisions on behalf of the church and managing the activities through implementation of specific, written risk assessments.
Both the church administrator and the church cleaner were placed on furlough.
After initially closing all places of worship, during June the government allowed places of worship to reopen for individual prayer. A survey of the congregation was carried out but at that time there was little demand so the church remained closed.
In July, the church administrator returned to work as the government announced that worship services could recommence. A risk assessment was put in place to ensure the safety of the church administrator. The bishop recognised that a lot of work would be required to safely reopen churches and a dispensation from services was granted until 12[th] September, which was authorised by the PCC.
Due to the internal arrangement of St Andrew’s, only a very limited number of worshippers could safely attend a service. Sidespeople and wardens were contacted and a sufficient number volunteered to enable services to restart. A risk assessment was developed and all services leaders and preachers and sidespeople and wardens were trained in the risk assessment. A booking system to request a place at a service was introduced utilising the church website and the church office. The church cleaner was brought back to work. The preparation work was put before the PCC which agreed that the precautions that would be
6
implemented were sufficient to ensure the safety of those leading and managing the services as well as those attending. The first service was held on 6[th] September and continued through to the second national Lockdown in November. A lot of planning went into ensuring that the Remembrance Day service and Act of Remembrance could be held safely but unfortunately it was caught up in the Lockdown. Services recommenced in December through to the end of the year. The ability to attend in-church services has been valued by all who have attended.
Restrictions have also been placed on weddings, baptisms and funerals. These have varied throughout the year at different stages of the pandemic. Risk assessments have been produced and kept updated for these occasional services to allow the church administrator to explain to enquirers the specific restrictions associated with St Andrew’s. Understandably, there have not been any weddings or baptisms during the pandemic although a number of funerals have taken place.
During August, a survey was undertaken of twelve church groups who use the Hall to determine whether any were thinking of restarting and what help could be provided by the COVID Group. For all of the groups, the social aspect of the group is probably the most important factor and with the necessary restrictions that would have to be in place, apart from Foodbank, none of the groups felt able to restart until a more normal social interaction was permitted.
Although church groups did not restart in the Hall a number of other Hall user groups did restart. A pack of information was developed to allow Hall users to develop their own specific risk assessments. It was a requirement that the risk assessments were submitted to the COVID Group before activities restarted, to ensure that our requirements were included.
Stream Team by Sarah McTimoney
As news of the COVID-19 pandemic spread in early 2020, and an imminent lockdown was inevitable, the F@4 Team, with some additional technical talent, offered to have a go at streaming a digital online service. So, on 22[nd] March, Mothering Sunday, the team
7
gathered in St Andrew’s Church without a congregation but with a camera live streaming to Facebook. The service went well, with our awkward slightly stilted presentations. A socially distanced rendition of ‘My Lighthouse’ ended the proceedings.
The next day, the first national lockdown was announced, and the doors of St Andrew’s closed. The team then offered an attempt at a fully online service. Paul did a crash course in DIY video editing, the Family Von Ryan recorded worship songs, and the rest of us recorded a segment. “Imagine if we’re still doing this at Easter” we said… The online team expanded to offer daily morning and night prayer, which gave many members of the church much needed structure to the days of lockdown. Daily night prayer continues on Facebook and YouTube.
Thanks to the Prayer team: Mark, Jay, Dave, Gill, Cath, John, Helen, (and previously Paul and Sarah) for this ongoing ministry.
The Stream Team has now covered Easter, Pentecost, Harvest, Advent and Christmas – and onwards into 2021. Around 50 households watch our weekly Sunday services live, with many more catching up later in the week. The services are well received, offering our congregation near and far the chance to worship together but apart. We have been delighted with the willingness of members of the wider congregation to take part by offering readings, prayers, New Year’s resolutions, photos and more. Thanks to all who have contributed.
The team meet weekly to plan the services, and then each member produces segments at home that are edited together by Paul, with occasional relief from Sarah, which then go live on Sunday morning. The total time spent on each service is considerable; in addition to the planning, people then spend time preparing and recording their segments, then each service takes 2-3 hours to edit together. From the early awkward beginnings, the team have grown in technical skill and confidence. There are now close to 100 worship songs in the bank. We have used materials from a wide range of sources covering the Lord’s Prayer, the ‘I am’ sayings of Jesus, as well as seasonal materials – and put our own unique spin on them. A major highlight was our online Nativity Play – it was wonderful to see so many of our families and children take part. Paul’s DIY technical skills took on a whole new level
8
with the introduction of green screen technology! There have now been 70 online services in addition to the daily prayer offering.
Thanks to the Sunday Services team; Paul, Rachel, Ben, Sam, Gill, Dave, Sarah, Lewis, Jay and Mark.
A huge thank you to all those who have encouraged us on this new adventure; your feedback, encouragement and comments have meant a great deal to the team.
The work continues, the Stream Team are continuing into 2021, until we can gather again to worship God as a church family in our church building.
Pastoral Team by Muriel Jones
Pastoral work has been tricky during 2020, but we thank God for the technology of WhatsApp and, of course, the phoneline. Keeping in touch has never been more important in these days of isolation. Thanks to the idea of regular phone calls to members of our congregation who were on our pastoral list, and also others who were more isolated or lonely, we were able to keep in contact and try to solve any issues that arose. John and Helen Kendrick volunteered to be in charge of this help-line and reported back at the weekly staff/pastoral Zoom meetings. These meetings have been very useful but resolved to once a fortnight as things have settled down. St Andrew’s WhatsApp Self-help group was also a very useful source of information and practical help. We’ve shown that Church is not the building, but Church is the people.
We began 2020 with our Care Home Songs of Praise visits until the beginning of March and were much concerned about their particular isolation and difficulties from when COVID-19 hit. Cards were sent, but contact was more or less lost. However, at Christmas a DVD of Carols and Readings was sent to each Care Home, and they have been constantly in our prayers.

Church Buildings and Grounds
Church Fabric by the Churchwardens
No major work was undertaken on the fabric of the building in 2020.
Following an inspection of the organ, significant repairs, costing around £10,000 were identified. As the church has been closed for long periods due to COVID-19 it was decided not to proceed with the repairs at this point. The organ is still playable although its functionality is reduced.
A gift of £3,000 was received to replace the music desk and other items of PA equipment. A scheme and further funding were approved by the PCC but work is yet to start.
Consideration has been given to improving the security of the roof using CCTV. This would require a high-quality broadband connection.
The success of the streamed services has also highlighted the need for a high-quality broadband service to be able to stream services when inchurch services fully resume. A scheme has been developed and approved by the PCC.
Unfortunately, the church door was vandalised with paint during the summer. The matter was reported to the police and the door has been successfully cleaned. There was also a hoax bomb alert which involved the police and security forces. The perpetrator has been apprehended.
Church Hall Refurbishment by Pam Bassington
Work commenced in July to lower the ceiling in the parish hall and fit new LED lighting, saying farewell to flickering, fluorescent tubes, and immediately improving the look of the hall. With additional insulation in the ceiling space, we expect significantly improved thermal efficiency and reduced running costs. A very generous donation from Boathouse covered this expenditure.
Moving downwards, the floorboards, with patches of rot and general wear and tear, were crying out for repair. The floor refurbishment
10
suffered a setback when it was discovered that a number of the support beams had suffered from rot but ingenious utilisation of sound wood from the floor within the cupboards replaced damaged floor boards in the main hall. Laminate flooring was laid inside cupboards where necessary. The hall floor was then sanded and given three coats of varnish. A successful grant application by Sheila Harris provided funds for this work.
The ‘PPC’ (Parish Painting Contractors), otherwise known as Ken Robson, Mike Hope and Pam Bassington set to work with enthusiasm, skill and perseverance to repaint the cupboards and walls with a new colour scheme. Martin Rowell made some repairs and fitted new handles to the cupboards. A lick of white paint was applied to the old but effective heaters, new roller blinds were fitted at the windows, new heater guards installed and the toilets were painted.
All that now remains to be done is to improve the access to the loft space.
On the exterior of the hall a rotting sill on the external fire door was replaced and all woodwork repainted.
It is a shame that, as a result of COVID-19, not many people have seen the completed project, but we look forward to making the most of our much-improved hall, hopefully later in 2021 and for Burns Night 2022! Thank you very much to all those involved.
Church Finances
Finance by the Finance Committee
The Finance Committee is a sub-committee of the PCC whose members are: Mike Bird, Val Bowman, Mark East, Alice Sewell and Andy Teague.
2020 has not been an easy year for many institutions and charities and our church is no exception. The good news is that through God’s grace inspiring the generosity of the St Andrew’s family, planned giving was
11
almost the same as in 2019. This allowed us to meet our Parish Pledge to the diocese in full which was especially important this year in 2020 as so many churches were not able to meet their Pledges.
Unfortunately, our income from weddings, funerals, hall-hire, Christmas Fayre and other fund-raising events, coffee mornings and the like was inevitably considerably down on last year. Although we reduced as many costs as possible, we ended the year spending £16,000 more than we received in the general fund, although this did include a one-off expense of £7,500 refurbishing the church hall.
The impact of Coronavirus has seen significantly increased demand for Foodbank services. Again through God’s grace, these have been supported generously by donations of food but also over £12,000 of gifts and grants. Our newly-started Christians Against Poverty (CAP) Darlington Debt Centre was also well-funded with gifts and grants of £21,500. For both organisations there is a healthy surplus to take into 2021 which will be necessary as the impact of the pandemic will continue.
During the year, in order to try to make the books balance, the diocese introduced a Guided Parish Pledge system to take effect in 2021. Taking a number of factors into account (size of church, fraction of an incumbent, income, reserves, affluence of the parish etc) a Guided Parish Pledge was calculated for each parish, as a fair way of distributing the costs of providing clergy and mission work across the diocese. St Andrew’s Parish Pledge is considerably more than the calculated figure and despite the difficult financial situation, the PCC regard the difference as part of our mission giving to support the life and mission work of the diocese.
We went through 2020 without an appointed Treasurer, largely through the hard work of Alice Sewell and the goodwill of former Treasurers Helen Kendrick and Elaine East. Clearly, this is not sustainable and if we cannot find a Treasurer from within the church we will need to look outside.
We are a long way from returning to normal and 2021 will also be a difficult year financially. However, we are in a better place than most to
12
emerge from the pandemic, in a position to continue God’s work in the parish and beyond.
Developing and Growing
Discipleship & Nurture by the Rev’d Mark East (Rector) There have been consistently five Discipleship groups in recent years within St Andrew’s church family. The details of these are below: -
-
Ladies Wot Lunch – meets in the Church Hall on Tuesday 12:30 – 2:45 pm for fellowship, lunch and discussion.
-
Augusta Close – meets on Thursday 9.30 – 11 am with RC and CofE church members.
-
Great Burdon – meets on Monday 7:30 – 9:00 pm for study, discussion and fellowship.
-
Stockton Road – meets on Thursday 7:30 – 9:30 pm for friendship, searching and exploring.
-
The Headlands – Meets on Monday 8:00 – 10:00 pm for fellowship, growth and prayer.
During 2020 they met for the first three months of the year and they were planning to have a big push to encourage both more people in our church family to think about joining one of the existing groups or to start new additional ones in different areas. The opportunity to learn and share together in smaller groups of people is the best way for us all to grow as disciples of Jesus.
Since 23[rd] March none of the groups have physically met, but members have been in regular contact with each other keeping the fellowship and care of groups going.
However, this hasn’t meant the there is no discipleship and nurture being offered to those who wish to partake. During the summer term some of us took part in an online study course called ‘Jesus the Game Changer’ with 18 participants. We also ran our first online ‘Alpha’ Course in the Autumn term with a similar number of attendees. Both were surprisingly successful on the Zoom platform. We are learning all
13
the time, both from the materials, and also how to make the most of the restrictions within which we’ve lived during 2020.
I would encourage every church member to consider joining a Discipleship group of some sort. They are supportive, challenging and above all help us to grow in our relationships with God and with our church family.
Ministry Development by the Rev’d Mark East (Rector)
In some respects everything we do in church life should come within this category as a way of demonstrating and reviewing how our church life and ministry is developing. However, for this context I will be focussing on what you might call the more ‘traditional’ forms of ministry i.e. leadership, worship services, pastoral care and SMT (Shared Ministry Team).
As has been noted in many of the other reports, this year has been very different with challenges and opportunities. However ministry has still developed.
Because of the necessity to ‘stream’ services there has been a wonderful development of many taking part in our worship services online, both the Sunday morning services and the Daily Prayers. For this I want to thank those who have so willingly been committed to and offered their skills and talents within. It’s been really exciting to see so many different individuals blossom and flourish through taking on new challenges, both simply doing new things, but also dealing with new technologies. ‘Doing’ is one of the best ways of learning, and we have many who have learned much through the past twelve months.
It has already been noted about the work of the Pastoral Team , but I have also noticed that so much pastoral care has been going on quietly amongst the church family. This is an ongoing development that is to be encouraged.
As we moved from 2019 into 2020 we were beginning to form the Shared Ministry Team and as has been noted, much of 2020 has meant that the majority of our church life has been in a ‘holding pattern’. This, along with other challenges on how to deal with the
14
pandemic and its effect on church life, has also put the SMT development on hold. Once the way forward is clearer the group will take a more active role.
There is also the more ‘ formal ’ ministry for our two self-supporting ministries (SSM), of Sue Chew and Jay Blackburn. There is a significant difference in the roles of both. Sue is our Associate Minister and is wonderfully taking on the majority of the responsibility for life and ministry at Sadberge. But she is still an important part of our ministry leadership here. I am very grateful for all she does for us in both churches.
Jay is still at the early stages of his training and development. During his curacy Jay has, and will, continue his formation through the Diocese’s Initial Ministerial Education (IME) training which is being tailored with some aspects specifically for a Distinctive Deacon. This ongoing training continues to the end of his curacy.
As a Distinctive Deacon, the focus for Jay will be a ‘Deacon in the World’ and most of his focus will be in the local community. Alongside the annual reviews, Jay and I, as training incumbent, engage in a monthly supervision meeting.
Just like the more tradition role of a curate, a distinctive deacon’s curacy is a period of formation, learning skills, experiencing new challenges and contributing to the life and ministry of a parish. Jay, like all of us, will continue to develop himself as he develops his ministry in his role.
What happens at the end of the curacy is that he, along with all curates, will complete an ‘End of Curacy Assessment’ and then it will be for the Bishop to determine the next steps with me/PCC. It would be usual, given Jay’s age, that he would continue to serve in the parish and it is likely that he’d move into a Permission To Officiate (PTO) role then, or soon after. The PTO will allow him to officiate in the same manner as he has taken on as a Distinctive Deacon, and not any additional ‘priestly’ responsibilities. Assuming all is well, Jay may then become Associate Minister with us – but that will be decided through consultation with Bishop Sarah.
15
To end, I want to both thank everyone who has taken up ministry in its widest sense in our church life and ask that we pray for God’s guidance as we seek to continue to serve him and build His kingdom.
Helping the Local Community
Foodbank Report by Sue Robson
Foodbank continued to run each Thursday afternoon throughout 2020. From January until March it followed its usual format of meeting in the church hall with refreshments offered to all attending.
The arrival of the pandemic meant we had to make changes to keep both clients and volunteers as safe as possible. A full risk assessment was undertaken. From March until November, with very few exceptions, we held an outdoor foodbank with social distancing in place.
Towards December we made the decision to move back into the church hall in a way that was as COVID-safe as possible, which was covered by the risk assessment.
The last year has posed some challenges. The closure of church and the church office during the first lockdown meant we had lost our places for leaving food donations. Produce on supermarket shelves were sparse and buying in bulk was restricted. Morrisons and Asda were wonderful during this period, setting basic items aside for us to collect. Kings Church were also supportive in sharing their donations. Their continued support continues to be appreciated.
We were greatly blessed with money donations from charities, community groups, firms, the Methodist chapel and from our own church members and community. This enabled us to buy in bulk during lockdown. We are so grateful.
After the first lockdown, food donations were again accepted and we so much appreciate the generosity shown in this.
16
We have had a significant rise in numbers attending foodbank over the last year. Between January and December 2020, we gave out 1,134 bags of food.
A huge thank you to all who make our foodbank possible by giving donations of food or money. We have also been able to give a donation to Middleton St. George church as they were setting up their own foodbank. Thank you for helping us to support our neighbours in need.
I would like to extend a massive thank you to the foodbank team for their work, support, reliability, enthusiasm and their great company.
Christians Against Poverty Darlington Debt Centre by Rachel Ryan (Manager)
The Darlington CAP Centre opened for clients at the beginning of September 2020. It serves any clients, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation etc, living within the postcodes DL1- DL5. Rachel Ryan is the Debt Centre Manager, having undertaken online training delivered by CAP Head Office in Bradford. She is supported by volunteers who assist with fundraising, and some who have been trained to offer a Befriender service, alongside the debt help that clients receive. There is additionally a Prayer Support Team who are updated monthly about the work of the centre – through a virtual Zoom meeting and with prayer notes.
Covid 19 restrictions have seen an adaption of the debt help offered, moving from a home visit service to telephone appointments. It is hoped that by 17[th] May 2021 some element of home visiting may be able to resume. In November we used a space offered by Vineyard Church on Post House Wynd to meet with a client who found talking on the telephone difficult. Although unable to use this space since then, it is hoped that it may be an option again once restrictions are eased.
September and October were spent publicising our service in the area and establishing links with agencies that may signpost clients towards the service. These include local foodbanks, schools, NHS services, DWP and Social Services. During November and December 2020, the service dealt with 4 individuals and families (from postcodes DL1, DL2
17
& DL3) to establish their financial position, look at ways to overcome their debt and manage their budgets more effectively. 3 of these clients are now in the process of adopting recommendations from CAP Head Office and working their way out of debt.
Going forward in 2021, we are looking to increase involvement from other Darlington Churches in both providing volunteers and assisting with the funding of the Centre. St Andrew’s, as the lead church, will be applying for the necessary grants and funding to ensure that the centre continues, but we will need additional regular financial contributions from both organisations and individuals to maintain the work we have started.
Rachel would be happy to speak to anyone interested in finding out more about how the centre operates, how they may be able to volunteer or if they would like to contribute financially to the project. Her contact details are rachelryan@capuk.org or call 07511 584242.
Wider Community Report by the Rev’d Mark East (Rector)
St Andrew’s Church has always sought to develop strong links with the wider community both as a parish church offering support and help during major rites of passage and also through its actions with and for the community. This is outworked through activities like Boathouse Café, Coffee Mornings, hosting Haughton Residents Association meetings, Foodbank, and more latterly the Darlington CAP Debt Centre.
During Covid-19 much of this work has had to be curtailed, but not all. Foodbank and CAP work has still taken place, and also, as a direct result of the pandemic, there have been regular meetings (via Zoom) with local councillors, the Salvation Army and the Methodist Church to share together and learn more of what help is needed and how it can be met. As a result of this co-operation, we were able to attract a grant of £3,500 to supplement the Foodbank supplies and seek to meet other financial needs of local residents if required.
As the furlough scheme draws to an end, this work and co-operation may well be even more vital.

Christmas Afternoon Tea by Sheila Harris (Organiser)
The Christmas Tea in the church hall has become an eagerly anticipated event for many. It has provided a way for many people in the church family and beyond to enjoy the company of friends while having the treat of an afternoon tea served by a willing band of volunteers. It was becoming clear as the year neared its end that the event would have to be cancelled because of the pandemic.
Our solution to this came in the form of providing ‘goodie boxes’, which we hoped would go some way toward replacing the afternoon tea. Boxes and supplies were ordered and so began the task of filling them with non-perishable treats. Also included were prayer cards and Christmas cards signed by Family@4 children. Pam Bassington printed off sheets of puzzles, quizzes and individual labels, and she and I spent one Friday afternoon assembling over 70 boxes, several of which were ‘doubles’ (to be delivered to couples). The boxes were distributed over the weekend before Christmas to those who regularly attended the event in normal times, and to people on St. Andrew’s pastoral care list.
All members of the delivery team confirmed that people were surprised and delighted to receive these boxes, and we received several cards and letters of thanks. We all agreed that it had been a privilege to be part of this effort.
Thanks to all the team – Pam and Nick Bassington, Lynne and Derek Kalandra, Jane Teague, Sue Chew, Jayne and Chloe Turner and Dave Harris.
Christmas Day Lunch by The Ryan Family
Since 2017, St Andrew’s Church has offered a Christmas Day Lunch to those within our community who, for whatever reason, may find themselves on their own or unable to cook a festive meal. Specific invitations are sent to those on our pastoral list to whom this may apply, and also to the clients we serve through our CAP Debt Centre. A general invitation is also extended to all of our Food Bank clients. Usually the Church Hall is the venue for this event, however this year restrictions on gathering meant this was impossible, so as an

alternative we offered Christmas Lunch to be delivered. The team consisted of Nick Bassington and Ben Ryan as delivery drivers, with Pam Bassington and Sam Ryan delivering food to the doors. Paul and Rachel Ryan cooked the meals. We received donations towards the cost of the meals from both recipients and other church members. We were even gifted a large turkey! St Andrew’s Foodbank were also very generous in donating Christmas puddings, mince pies, chocolates and biscuits from their supplies.
Those who had indicated they were interested in receiving a lunch were asked to specify in advance their preferred food options from a menu. This information helped inform shopping for the event. We grouped households in 4 rough geographical zones and were able to plan delivery slots accordingly. Food was prepared at the Church Hall and sent out for delivery from there.
We started deliveries just after 12 noon and were finished just before 2.30pm. (Recipients were given a rough estimate regarding the time food might arrive.) Although it was slightly chaotic regarding service and ensuring each meal had correct components, pretty much everybody got their orders as requested! We had many lovely thank you messages from the 33 people we cooked for. There was a range of recipients from both within church family and Foodbank clients, families, individuals and couples all receiving a meal. We covered homes in Haughton, Whinfield, Springfield, Red Hall, the town centre, Cockerton and North Road area.
Many thanks to all who contributed in whatever way to making this a success– we couldn’t have done it without your support.
The Church Beyond St Andrew’s
Darlington Deanery Synod Report by the Rev’d Mark East (Rector) Darlington Deanery Synod was only able to meet once in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. A meeting was held in February at St Cuthbert’s Church Hall.
20
Deanery Plan
At this meeting it was reported that the Deanery Plan has been accepted and ‘signed off’ by the Bishop’s Council. Apart from the ongoing development of ministry in the Deanery and within the challenge of reducing numbers of clergy, there are plans to seek funding for an Estates Missioner/Champion via the C of E Strategic Development Funding whose role will be to help parishes discover ways of reaching into the existing and new estates. It was also reported that funding for the Darlington CAP Project is growing steadily with the hope of setting up the Debt Centre sometime after March.
Vacancies
There are two up-coming vacancies in the Deanery – The Riverside Group of Parishes (Hurworth, MDG, Dinsdale and Girsby), and Holy Trinity and St Cuthbert’s became vacant in February and April 2020 respectively. Good news though that All Saints Blackwell vacancy ended when The Rev’d Jennifer Croft was licensed on 2[nd] March 2020. St Herbert’s are still seeking a House for Duty (0.5) priest. The Rev’d Michael Way was licensed as SSM Priest-in-Charge of St James the Great, Albert Hill on 20[th] October.
Deanery Finance
Parish Pledges for 2019 failed to be met by £26,000. Synod unanimously accepted the budget for 2020.
- Main Meeting Topic Nathan Bruce, Parish Giving Champion
Nathan informed synod that a good proportion of his time with PCC’s and congregations is about ‘myth busting’. We often speak about money reactively eg buildings maintenance. He firmly believes we must speak about money in a proactive way – eg what does the Bible say about giving.
Myth 1- Money shouldn’t be talked about in church .
As a diocese we are in a financial predicament. If we had been talking openly and honestly about money for the last 20 years we would not be in this difficulty. Jesus spoke about Money and Possessions in 41% of his teaching and about issues of life in 59% of his teaching. We need to be teaching about giving on a regular basis – in lots of ways not just in the sermon.
21
Myth 2- Financial giving is only for the wealthy and the super-rich
In the NT there are a number of stories about the divide between rich and poor. Jesus challenges this. Giving as part of discipleship in the Bible is not linked only to the wealthy or super rich.
Myth 3 - The church has lots of money, where does all the money go? Three levels – National church, Diocese, Parish Central policy is to support specific, time limited, projects rather than ongoing subsidy of parishes and Dioceses. Examples are: posts which are funded by the national church, through SDF bids (resource churches), Lowest Income Communities Fund: every year £2.2m comes from the central church to Durham diocese.
Historically Durham Diocese funding had 25% from investments generating an income, 25% from the national church and 50% from parish share.
How it works today: National church covers 21%, Investments 24%, and parish share 47%. This leaves an 8% shortfall which will be taken from investments. That situation cannot carry on indefinitely as there will be no investments left to draw on. Nathan showed a video giving information about the Parish Giving Scheme which makes it easier to give and easier for treasurers to reclaim the tax which is returned to the parish monthly.
The potential implications of low level of giving in our churches:
- We will have a different approach to parish share.
22
-
We have an increasing reliance on Diocesan Reserves which are not infinite.
-
There will need to be a review of clergy numbers.
Deanery Synod – New Triennium
Parish APCM’s voted for new members to stand for the next three years on Deanery Synod.
Diocesan Synod Report by The Rev’d Mark East (Rector)
There were two Synod meetings held via Zoom (due to Covid-19 restrictions) on 7 September and 14 November 2020. Both had good virtual turn-outs (90 plus).
Financial Statement for 2019
These were presented by Mags Southern and James Morgan. Synod agreed to receive the statement of accounts. However, there is a £750,000 deficit which will need to be taken from reserves, and as these reserves are very limited, something significant needs to change in order to either increase income or reduce expenditure.
Parish Share Guided Pledge
This relates very much to the point above. All of the PCCs had the opportunity to join in with the Deanery Zoom Meeting about the newly proposed Guided Pledge System on 16[th] July. The previous parish share system where the Diocese requested a share from each parish didn't result in sufficient income to support the church’s ministry across the diocese, so a ‘pledge’ from each parish was requested (the current situation), but again, this has resulted in a deficit because many parishes have had to, or chosen to, reduce their pledge payments. The new ‘Guided’ Pledge is seeking to be a mix between the two to demonstrate a realistic sort of share for each parish dependent upon a variety of factors in the demographics and resources within each parish. The implication if parishes cannot meet the planned guided pledge set for them is that clergy numbers will need to be further reduced.
23
Waymark Next Steps (Strategic Think Tank)
Following on from Waymark 2019, a strategic think tank under the chairmanship of Michael Banks and co-ordinated by Duncan Podbury (Waymark Development, Engagement and Change Lead), has been hard at work. Over the coming year(s) practical and achievable examples of projects/ministries which have been effective in developing growth in the key strands of the Diocesan Vision will be shared to enable parishes to seek ways in which they can respond in their localities.
Wider Church (Ecumenical) Report by the Rev’d Mark East (Rector)
The Churches Together in Darlington (CTiD) was due to meet 4 times in 2020, but didn’t meet due to the COVID pandemic. However, although the group will continue to do so once we can meet safely, out of the desire for the church to be seen to be alive and well, and to offer hope and Christian love, a small group of like-minded church leaders gathered together to pray and plan some events.
This culminated in the first ever (we believe in this country) ‘Drive-in’ church services that were held at the Darlington Arena Rugby ground on four Sundays during July. They were well attended and each time the car park was full to a safe capacity.
During the autumn the church leaders still met together for prayer – when allowed in person – but more often via Zoom every two weeks. The shared fellowship and desire to work together has been really encouraging. The year of working together culminated in ‘Drive-in Carol Services’ in Teesside Airport car park, just before Christmas. Again all occasions were filled to capacity.
Further events are being planned over the coming months.

Safeguarding by Gillian Jones (Parish Safeguarding Officer)
I would like to start by saying a massive and heartfelt thank you to every volunteer at St Andrew’s church for their support and cooperation during 2020. The safeguarding system at church is as up to date as possible and this has involved technology and training for many of you. I appreciate it has not been easy, but we have got there!
We currently have about 50 volunteers with a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) certificate and some 60 who have completed Safeguarding training. Because DBS checks must be renewed every 5 years and Safeguarding training every 3 years, approximately 14 DBS certificates and 25 Safeguarding certificates were renewed during 2020. Due to being unable to meet face to face, I still need to verify some documents and get some people to sign a Confidential Declaration Form; this will be done as soon as it is safe to do so.
St Andrew’s church continues to take safeguarding seriously and it is an item on the agenda at every PCC meeting. We continue to adhere to the policies adopted in March 2019: -
- Diocese of Durham Diocesan Safeguarding Policy. Ver 2019.1
25
-
Promoting a Safer Church: House of Bishop’s policy Statement (2017)
-
Responding well to Domestic Abuse Practice Guidance (2017)
-
Safer Recruitment Practice Guidance (2016)
And we continue to display in the church, the hall and on the website: -
-
The statement of adoption of the House of Bishops’ ‘Promoting a Safer Church; safeguarding policy statement’. signed on behalf of the PCC
-
The information about how to contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor, the Parish Safeguarding Officer and how to get help outside the church with child and adult safeguarding issues
-
A copy of our parish safeguarding policy statement
-
A copy of our parish domestics abuse policy statement
Advice continues to be sought about any Safeguarding issues or queries raised.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding safeguarding.
Thank you again for your great assistance in this vitally important area of church life.
Some St Andrew’s Groups
ABC by Jane Teague (ABC Co-ordinator)
Our two ABC Adult and Toddler Groups meet in the Church Hall on a Monday morning and Wednesday afternoon in termtime for grown-ups and children to play, chat, meet with friends, make new friends, make things, sing and have fun. We began 2020 with our usual gusto and format, with about 25 families signed up for both groups and more on both waiting lists looking for a place. The pandemic brought ABC to a halt immediately and ZOOM was not seen as a viable alternative.
26
Since mid-March we have kept in touch with families on an occasional basis on our Facebook Group, and know that many are sad to be missing ABC. We marked the end of their time at ABC for 10 of our ‘big’ children leaving to move on to school or nursery with a delivery of Rainbow cards (handmade by Janet) and a photo montage of ‘Pam’s Tree through the Seasons’. The ABC leaders met for a socially distanced outdoor Afternoon Tea in Janet’s garden in early September.
At the end of 2020 we donated more than our usual annual amount to charity, giving £100 to each of Women’s Refuge, Salvation Army Christmas Appeal, St Teresa’s Hospice, Humankind, and Safe Families.
Several leaders have renewed their Safeguarding training online and most DBS checks have been updated as required.
For their ongoing enthusiasm, dedication and hard work at ABC I would like to thank Sarah Wilkinson, Cath Williams, Carole Ainslie, Margaret Britton, Janet Harkin, Pam Bassington, and Jean Dale, with help from Dara Akoni, and support and encouragement from Rev Sue Chew, and others who pray for us. We are looking forward to being able to meet again in our lovely refurbished Church Hall.
Andrew’s Net by Stoker Wilson (Editor)
There have been no issues of Andrew’s Net printed and distributed this year. The Easter 2020 edition was prepared and sent to the printer when the lockdown came into force in March and all hopes of distributing it ceased, so printing was cancelled.
Boathouse Cafe by Martin Rowell
The Cafe is open in the Gouldsmith Room on Wednesday mornings only, providing a breakfast menu. Some of the regular paying customers support the provision of a few free breakfasts for those referred from the Foodbank. The Credit Union makes its services available for an hour.
27
During 2020 the cafe was open on 9 Wednesday mornings between 8th January and 11th March with average takings of £50. For the remainder of the year, the cafe was closed (due to Covid).
In February it donated £4000 (from its accumulated funds) for the renovation of the church hall ceiling. After closing in March, it donated £670 towards further renovations of the church hall (leaving a nominal £10 in its bank account). The few remaining perishables were donated to the Foodbank.
The Boathouse has been staffed by a small team of regular volunteers - Kerry Hoehne, Martin Rowell, Cath Williams, Pauline Young (and supported by Jane Teague to tidy up afterwards).
Crafts@Andrews by Helen Winthorpe Kendrick
Work continued, amongst the chatting, for the first few months. People worked on a variety of different crafts: beading, cross stitch, card making, embroidery, knitting, crochet, rug making, felting. It is always interesting to see what others are doing and everyone is very good at helping others have a go if they wish to. Unfortunately we have been unable to meet physically or virtually during the pandemic.
Girls Aloud by Sue Robson
In 2020 Girls Aloud met in January at The Shuttle and Loom. We had a good attendance and were joined by several of our friends from Sadberge church. It was great to meet and catch up with each other.
COVID restrictions have prevented us from meeting since and our times together have been missed.
Ladies Guild by Lesley Stegner (Group Leader)
Ladies Guild has a membership of 25-39 ladies who meet once a month to listen to a speaker and to enjoy one another’s company. Each meeting starts with devotions led by Mark, Stoker, Sue or Bette Dobson. We did not meet in January but in February 2020 we heard
28
from someone who had been on various TV Quiz Shows and in March 2020 we heard about the Wensleydale Railway. Then came lockdown!!!
Many thanks too, to Alice Sewell, the group’s co-leader and treasurer.
MenMeet Group by Ken Robson
Jan – Mar
In January we organised another very successful Burns Night which was enjoyed by everyone attending. In early March we had a breakfast in the Gouldsmith Room attended by 17 members, and a speaker (Dave Atkinson) who gave a talk on his work at the Haughton War Memorial.
Mar – Dec
It was not possible for the group to meet safely during the pandemic and virtual meetings would not meet the needs of the group.
Music and Worship Group by John Kendrick (Music and Worship Group Coordinator)
I’d like to thank Paul, Rachel, Ben and Sam Ryan who have provided so much of the music for our on-line worship.
I would also like to thank the singers and Rael Wright on the organ who managed to provide the music and videos for the Christmas Service of Carols and Readings. The various contributions were merged by myself and Claire-Louise Patrick to form a virtual choir which provided the carols for the service. A CD and a DVD were made of the carols which were distributed to local homes and to people who have no internet access.
Technology Report by Stoker Wilson
The church website at www.standrewshaughton.org.uk continues to provide a resource of lots of useful information about the church. In this past COVID-dominated year there have been fewer church activities to
29
advertise, but the site has been used to good effect in keeping folks informed about services etc.
Once again the most visited pages are the permanent pages. By comparing this year’s figures with last year’s, we can get an idea of the number of page visits since last reported. Statistics for the “Top 6” pages February 2020 to January 2021 are: -
Contacts page, 3457 visits, = 72/week. Welcome page, 2738 visits, = 57/week. Sadberge page. 2299 visits, = 47/week. About Us page, 1926 visits, = 40/week. Current Church Services page, 1478 visits = 30/week. Foodbank page, 626 visits, = 13/week.
These pages alone come to some 260 hits/week without all the lesser used pages. These are all lower than last year but it’s interesting that the ranking remains the same as last year. i.e., Contacts is the greatest and Foodbank the lowest, but then these are for the Foodbank main page, and the “Foodbank latest” also gets some 25 hits/week. In addition, the newer/temporary pages all score well:
Covid page. 1000 hits since 14[th] March. Church Reopening page. 278 hits since 27[th] June. CAP page. 93 hits since 13[th] August.
The church Facebook pages continue to give more immediate news about what’s happening in the church, as well as providing a forum in which people can ask questions when they need help for things relating to St. Andrew’s. Social media are the medium of choice for the younger generation! Many thanks to all the moderators and contributors of Facebook.
This past year the Facebook pages and YouTube page have come into their own in broadcasting all the on-line services. Special thanks go to Paul & Rachel Ryan, Ben & Sam, and all their helpers who have unstintingly provided on-line Sunday Services, and daily services since the start of the first lockdown.
The Family@4 team maintain a Family@4 Facebook page specifically to deal with messy church service matters.
30
ABC maintain a closed St. Andrew’s ABC Facebook page. More information on this from Jane Teague.
The WhatsApp social media messaging system is used by some folks in church to keep in touch and share information. This COVID year an extra “self-help” WhatsApp group has been set up to support folks during the various lockdowns.
Telephone Help group. Another innovation this year has been the introduction of a dedicated telephone line during the lockdowns for the support of those not into social media. Thanks go to John & Helen Kendrick who have faithfully manned this line since the beginning of the lockdowns and gone the extra mile by regularly telephoning vulnerable persons in the church.
Resources provided by the church Dropbox account, Google calendar account and other IT matters are in good state and contribute well to the efficient running of the church. Where would we be today without e- mail?
The Church Tech team has had little opportunity to operate in church, but members of the team have been well used in other areas of church life during the lockdowns,
14[th] Darlington (St Andrew’s) Scouts by Tony Baldock (Group Scout Leader)
There is no Group Scout Leaders report for the 2021 APCM. Tony Baldock (GSL) continues his recovery following his heart failure in July/August 2020 and his subsequent hospitalisation. It is hoped that he can return to scouting in early 2021.
