Vicar's Report
As the reports that make up this annual report show, there are so many people doing
so many things here at St. Andrew's. for which l am so grateful. I'm also so grateful to
Rev Sue Upton for all that she has done in supporting and leading St. Andrew's,
particularly in bringing closer unity in the congregation, until I was instslled on 13
February 2024, and for all the useful information that she put together for me. Rev John
Kinchin-smith has also been a huge support to the church, and a valued clergy
colleague. Without ex￿ptIOn, I have been so grateful for the welcome, support and
hard work of everyone in the church including our Parish Administrator,
Churchwardens, Parish Clerk, Verger Team, PCC members, PCC Secretary,
Treasurer, Parish Safeguarding Offi￿r, preachers and Servi￿ leaders, organist, choir,
worship band, sound, projection and streaming team, intercessors and readers,
welcomers, volunteers opening the church up, Little Stars team, Open the Book team,
those who support children in church, the Church in the Chapter House team, those
who arrange the flowers, clean the church, tidy the church yard, organise social events,
catering and coffee making teams, those who organise the Walking Group and the
Ladies Group and so many other jobs. But the thing that also really brings me a lot of
joy is the way that the church family feels welcoming, united and able to value diversity,
as well as being encouraging and flexible as we consider the way ahead.
The reading that I chose for my installation service in February 2024 was John 15: 1-17
where Jesus says, '1 am the vine,. you are the branches. If you remain in me and l in
you, you will bear much fruit,. apart from me you can do nothing. ' And in all that we do,
I pray that together we will remain Jesus-focussed, growing in faith and trusting ever
more deeply in him, and relying on him for the direction, equipping and resources that
we need to share the good news of his love.
When l arrived in Gorleston a number of people in the community told me that they
would like the church to be open for people to come in. We opened the church to
visitors on Easter Monday and then had a fantastic heritage open week in September
2024 finding all sorts of treasures to show people and John and Sally McBride put
together some super informalion booklets, and now a published book about the history
of St. Andrew's. After the open week, we have been opening the church every Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday morning with the help of a new volunteer team and have
seen an increasing number of visitors coming in to look at the heritage, chat or use the
space to reflect.
A lot of work has been done in the church and Chapter House, including taking down
the old boiler chimney which was thought to be letting water into the church and making
the ramp damp. However, in August, we unfortunately discovered that all of the
wooden flooring in the church is rotten and will need replacing. l am so grateful to
everyone for being so accommodating about having to use the church differently and
for all the work of the Churchwardens, vergers and the team that is putting together a
grant application (in partnership with our architect and project manager, Ruth Brennan).
Andrea, in particular, has done a lot of work towards this. Fortunately we have still been
able to welcome people into the church for large services, including Remembrance
Sunday. the Jary's carols and candles remembrance service; the RNLI carol service.
and children from Wroughton and Stradbroke for Christingle and Christmas services. A
spin off of having to use the church differently has meant that we have rediscovered the
Lady Chapel which has become a lovely space for the 8am communion service on
Sunday momings and the Thursday mid-week communion" have cleared the Memorial
Chapel to be used as a space for prayer and reflection for visitors. and used the
chancel for the Chrtstmas Eve popup nativity servi￿.

Over Holy Week we had a series of reflective ServI￿S each evening, in the lead up to
our Easter services. In July we held a Sea Sunday service for the first time and it was
wonderful to hear stories related to fishing from drfferent members of the congregation.
We had some great Christmas services, including some new services this year. There
was a Churches Together walk of witness and combined service at Gorleston Baptist
Church on Good Friday and a Churches Together sunrise serrfice on the beach on
Easter Sunday. As different churches in Gorleston we also had a combined Sunday
morning service around the bandstand during the Clifftop Festival in August.
Little Stars, our baby and toddler group, has gone from strength to strength and we
consistently hear how much people enjoy bringing their little ones to a welcoming, safe
group. It was fantsstic that members of the church paid for chocolate Advent calendars
with the Christmas message for children who come along to Little Stars. There have
been a number of baptisms this year and although everyone is very welcoming to
children who come along on a Sunday morning, it isn't always easy for people who are
unfamiliar with church to come along (and not always the easiest time slot). In October
we started a monthly intergenerational, infomal, interactive service on Sunday
afternoons in the Chapter House. There have been two seNices (with a break in
December with Christingle and Popup Nativity services instead) which some adults and
children who we do not usually see on Sunday momings coming along.
I'm really grateful to the social committee for some great events, including the Summer
Fete, Christian Aid tea dance, Tear Fund quiz, Christmas Fayre - plus the Saturday
coffee mornings and G&S concerts. It is always good to spend time together, particularly
week after week having coffee after the Sunday morning service together- on a number
of occasions accompanied by cake for significant anniversaries and occasions!
There is so much to be thankful to God for in our life together, in the ways that God has
provided for us thus far, and in the ways people are loving and seNing God both in our
church family and in our community.

Churchwarden Reports
What did 2024 bring.
A new Vicar in February. Carole, Shaula and I met every month to discuss things in the
Church. We also had the Vergers meetings every third month. The Choir Vestry roof,. a
new channel was made to tske away the excess water, so we won't have the water
damage that happened before.
Chapter House glass cone. One of the banes I had to deal with in 2024. Alas, after the
difficulties getting it fixed, it still leaks. Doh.
The floor; having fallen through the floor to the side of the organ, I checked other parts of
the church floor with wood. Under the carpet tiles the wood was soaking wet. I could
wring it and the water would pour out.
With an inspection from an architect the floor was condemned. It is an on going
procedure to get fixed. Sorry.
Justin Wilson
Churchwarden
I have enjoyed being your Churchwarden, in spite of the obvious difficulties this year has
bought to us, and I would like to thank you for all for your help and understanding during
a quite difficult year.
I would be very pleased to continue in the role of Churchwarden if l am elected to do so.

MEETINGS OF STANDING COMMIThEE".
The Standing Committee met before the PCC meetings.
CONDUCT OF MEETING
All meetings were opened with a Bible reading and prayer and were closed with prayer.
A YEAR IN THE LIFE ofthe Church:
The past year has been a successful one with Rev. Shaula Reilly joining St. Andrew's in
February 2024. We give our thanks to God that she has been appointed to our Church.
Several events have taken place throughout the year including the Summer Fete,
Christmas Fayre and concerts organised and performed by the G&S Singers.
Andrea Hellingsworth has been an efficient and diligent Treasurer throughout the last
year, providing regular updates and reports at each PCC meeting. This year, we were
very pleased to be able to pay our whole Parish Share contribution.
Several committees have continued throughout this year including: The Worship
Committee, Pastoral Committee, Sociavoutreach Committee and Fabric Committee.
Our current services are - 10.30am Holy Communion on Thursday momings, 8am Holy
Communion on Sunday and 1 Oam Worship Together on Sunday which is a blended
service of traditional and modern music.
A new Church in the Chapter House service is taking place on the last Sunday of the
month and welcomes everybody, making it an informal and intergenerational opportunity
to worship and learn more about Jesus.
Maintenance work and refurbishments have continued this year with further works to be
completed throughout 2025.
The security within the Church and Chapter House has been greatly improved with new
codes, cameras and locks.
The church floor has been a large challenge this last year due to the damp. This has
restricted some of the seating area within the church but work is taking place to improve
this over the next year.
THANK YOU
Our thanks are due in the first instance to God. Our thanks are also due to all of our PCC
members for their commitment throughout the year and for those whose terms have
completed. Thank you to our committed Treasurer, Andrea and our Churchwardens,
Carole and Justin for keeping the Church running smoothly. Thank you to Cathie Cassidy
for her work as the Parish Safeguarding Officer. Thank you to all those who provide
music during the services and for additional concerts and events. On behalf of the PCC, I
would like to thank Sally our Parish Administrator for her continuous hard work in the
office. A huge thank you to Rev. Shaula Reilly, Rev. John Kinchin-smith and Rev. Sue
Upton for the serrfices delivered throughout the year as well as Stephanie Gostick and
Melvyn Reid. Lastly, thank you all for attending this meeting - it is good that we can
gather together in our Lord's name to do his work and for his glory.

Fabrlc Report
There have been difficulties this year which a￿ still ongoing, the redundant chimney was
demolished and this revealed dampness in the church floor. At first it was thought it was
only in the north aisle and ramp, which had been close to the chimney, that was affected.
Following a visit from Ruth Brennan our Architect it was found the dampness was far
more extensive and in fact covered the whole of the wooden floor and Ruth said it was
not safe to use and would need to be cordoned off, which is why we have the church in
the position it is now in. At this point we would like to say how well the whole
congregation has dealt with the problem. Hopefully next year's Fabric Report will be able
to say that it is all repaired.
On a more positive note, the West Wall and Window were repointed in the spring to stop
rainwater running down the wall inside the church office and lo let the church wall in that
area dry out, the disabled toilet has been decorated. The drainage on the roof of the
Choir Vestrylsouth Meeting Room has been improved and we haven't had any more
floods from there, so that room will be decorated early 2025. Extra CCTV cameras have
been installed to cover more of the carpark and rear churchyard. Keypad entry systems
have been installed for more security for the Church and Chapter House. In the past one
key gave access to all areas, meaning anyone could enter the Church from the Chapter
House including private hirers. Too many keys were in circulation.
Justin has worked hard to get the Lantem in the Chapter House watertight, a difficult
long-standing problem. It is much improved but still leaks when the wind blows from the
'wrong' direction.

Diocese of Norwich
Great Yarmouth Deanery Synod Report
l joined the PCC at the APCM in 2024 as a Deanery Synod Representative for the
remainder of a 3 year appointment. Therefore, l only attended 2 Synod meetings during
2024 in June and October.
In June the meeting was here at St. Andrew's. Bishop lan conducted the licensing of
the Rev'd David Wells as Rural Dean. 37 people attended the meeting due partly to it
being summertime and St. Andrew's being easy to find! We had a talk by Tim Sweeting
Diocesan Secretary from St. Stephen's Church in Norwich. His role is to work with the
Parish Support Team to help all churches. The Treasurer reported that Synod had
£937.38 in the bank, so no rn0￿ donations required until 2024 - 2025. Rev'd Canon
Simon Ward was thanked for all he has done as Rural Dean.
The October meeting took place at St. George's Church, Rollesby - much less easy to
find on a damp, dark evening! We began with a 15 minute Evening Prayer including 2
hymns. Colin and Robert, 2 members of the Generous Giving Team, gave
presentstion on ways to increase giving. Ministry and Mission are now needed more
than ever. They spoke about the Contactless Giving Machine, which of course we have
had at St. Andrew's for sometime. They are needed as cash giving is declining
everywhere. The 3 ministers in the Flegg team cope with 17 churches and with
enormous help from Churchwardens, Vergers and Congregations, have a service of
some kind at each church every week. They also keep all their churches open a51 day.
It was very interesting to hear from Rev'd Jo and Rev'd Debs about part of the Deanery
which is so different to Gorleston.
Aileen Stone
Parish Safeguarding Annual Report
The past year has been a difficult year in terms of safeguarding for the Church of
England as a whole and certain aspects of govemance and scrutiny are under
discussion at the highest levels. We here at St. Andrew's are aware and doing our best
to keep abreast of developments in this area.
In the past year we have continued to work with our children, young people and
vulnerable adults following the guidelines set out by the Norwich diocese in the Parish
Safeguarding Handbook which is accessible through the Diocesan website and in a hard
copy held in the Offi￿ and continue to ensure all volunteers and offi￿rS within St.
Andrew's have appropriate Disclosure and Barring Service certificates and have
completed the recommended level of Safeguarding training.
Foundation level Safeguarding training is to be undertaken by all PCC members, salaried
staff and volunteers involved in work with children, young people and vulnerable adults
and is available through the Church of England e-leaming site. Access to this pathway is
available through the Diocesan website and all volunteers and PCC members should
complete this course and update it every 3 years.

The Safeguarding Training is also available to any member of the church who wishes to
raise their personal level of awareness. The greater our degree of awareness as a
community the safer we all can be.
Diocesan Networking and briefing sessions for Parish Safeguarding Officers continue
quarterly and are very useful and infornative sessions and as a Parish we use the
Dashboard system as a tool to monitor our Complian￿ with safeguarding guidelines.

Vulnerable Adults is:

Walking Group Report
Now going into our Ilth year and still going strong. Again we have walked in
familiar, favourite places and one or two new areas. We meet on Monday
afternoon at around 1.30pm always starting with prayer for safety, fellowship and good
weather. We have 20 members but average 12-15 weekly. It is a joy and blessing to be
able to get out in our beautiful area and discover new things to stop, listen and watch.
We have a meal out twi￿ a year, once in the summer and again at Christmas. This year
we went twice to the Pub on the Prom in Great Yarmouth. We had a really good time,
lovely food and good company and were made very welcome by the staff.
Have we wetted your appetite to join us? We would love to see you. To all our current
walkers, thanks for coming each week, and for the fellowship we share - keep on
coming.
For more information about the group please contact the Church Office or Jean on
01493 662754.
We look forward to seeing you.
Jean and the Walking Group
Choir Report
We have had a successful year and have much appreciated working with and being
supported by Shaula.
One of the highlights was of course the induction service for Shaula when we were able
to call in extra singers which was organised by Bob, an arrangement which has
benefited us and other choirs with which we are associated. We have sung at each
Sunday service working alongside the band an arrangement which works very well, as
we "mix and match" according to the requirements of the service. We have also sung
anthems occasionally, including at major festivals, i.e. ChristmaslEaster etc. and have
sung at extra services as required.
Like most parish church choirs we would like to attract more singers. We are not only a
choir but a group of Christian friends who appreciate the opportunity to serve God with
our music.
With our thanks to church members for their support and encouragement, friends in the
worship band for their willingness to work together with us, and especially Shaula for her
encouragement and support.

Coffee Mornings Report
We have enjoyed another successful year of coffee momings and were able to give the
church £697.1 Op for the period January 2024 to December 2024. Thank you to all those
who support the coffee mornings and a big thank you to all those who are willing to help
out. If you haven't been to a coffee moming yet, do come along - we are very friendly
and would love to see you.
Coffee mornings are held on the first Saturday of the month (unless otherwise advised) at
the time of 10am -12 noon.
Come along and pay us a visit - we look forward to seeing you soon.
Jean and The Team
Flower Guild Report
The Guild has decorated the Church for Easter, Harvest and Christmas as well as
throughout the year. We only had one Wedding last year. We had three meetings
during the year to discuss decorating it for the festivals. We took part in the tsble top sale
in July to add to our funds. Members had an evening meal at the Olive Gardens in May
and thirteen attended of which three were past members. In December we had a meal at
the Priory in St. Olaves and Shaula also attended and she met all the Guild members, it
was really great that she could come as she's always been very appreciative of all our
efforts. We have eleven active members of the Guild. We all enjoy the privilege of being
able to decorate our beautiful Church - if at present it has its problems - to the glory of
God using His beautiful creations.
Eileen Wood
Leader
Worship Band
During 2024, the Worship Band contributed to the worship at the 10:00 a.m. services.
Thank you to all of the band members for enabling there to be a band every week.
Reverend Shaula was a welcorne addition at some of the services. Several new songs
were learned by the band and we will be looking to continue this in the year ahead. If you
can sing or play an instrument and wish to be part of the band, please get in touch with
me. Thanks
Stephanie Gostick

Open The Book Report
We continue to go into Stradbroke School to present stories from the bible and to tell
about the love of Jesus for every one of us. The stories we present are still narrated by
Cathie and acted out with the rest of the team and the children. As always it is an
enormous prtvilege and blessing to be welcomed into school to present these stories to
both the children and teachers alike. We are delighted to welcome Paula and the Rev
Shaula into the team and hope they will be part of the team for many years. We are still
seeking new members to join us and be part of this very important mission to the next
generation. Do you feel you are being called to be part of our team? Please do get in
touch.
Please remember to continue to pray for the schools and the Open The Book Team.
Jean Murray and the Open The Book Team
Parish Clerk Report
The work of the Parish Clerk still continues, we continue to go into Great Yarmouth for
banking purposes. I still send invoices to the undertakers for funerals and most of the
payments are paid by the BACS system. At the end of every quarter I calculate the
payments due to the diocese and pass the figures to the Treasurer for payment.
We had two weddings last year and at the moment we have none for this year, but we
are open on the first Thursday of every month to meet couples fa￿ to face giving them
a chance to look round the church and answer any queries they might have. Sometimes
we have no one but it does give me a Chan￿ to catch up with filing etc.
I would also like to say we have a great team which makes my life so much easier. The
communication between our vicar, treasurer, administrator and churchwardens is first
class. Many thanks to you all.
If anyone would like to know more about being a Parish Clerk please contact me and I
am willing to give you more infomiation.

Vergers Report
Vergers duties are to help out whenever we can at servI￿s, weddings, funerals and
baptisms, also to give Carole and Justin all the help we can in their duties as
churchwardens.
Weddings and funerals were a little down in numbers on the previous year, weddings
two in church and funerals we had 12. We had quite a few baptisms which are usually
held after the 1 Oam Sunday service.
For Sunday 8am Communion Services, we open and set up the church along with John
and Jean, Carole and Brian, which is a great help and means we only have to get up
early every third week.
We also helped at Bob Boardley's cOn￿rt in early December. We had an afternoon
concert in the Chapter House due to the floor problems in the church, with the Gold and
Silver Singers and Barber Shop Choir from Norwich, and great guest artists (husband
and wife) singer and pianist both so talented. The concert was a great success in the
Chapter House (so much warmer than the church in December). Well done Bob for
organising the concert.
Again we were on duty for the annual Jary's Memorial Service held in the church, this
service seems to grow from strength to strength in popularity every year. We covered all
the church carol services this year and had an extra one, the RNLI carol service which
proved to be very popular and well attended.
We are still looking for another team of vergers. If interested please talk to us or clergy.
Richard Vickers
AV. PA and Livestream Report
Thanks to Justin for all his hard work with the PA system. It would be great if one or two
people were able to assist with the PA as Justin currently covers this almost every week.
Please speak to us if you are able to help.
We have continued to stream most Sunday services and the occasional wedding or
funeral to the St. Andrew's YouTube channel which aligns with the aim of "Being Church
in Person and Digitally". As in 2023, Maddie has been producing the slides for projection
onto the screens during services plus operating the streaming and projection systems in
church every few weeks. John Kinchin-smith is also a valued member of our small
team, operating the system on a regular basis. The problem with the church floor
necessitated a change to the camera system. Although the camera angle is not ideal, it
allows online viewers to see the service leader and readerslintercessors. For the year
ahead, we're looking to build some contingency cover in the team. If anyone would like
to help with the administration of the YouTube channel (this doesn't take much time or
skill) or with producing the slides for projection (it's a bit like PowerPoint) please get in
touch with me.

Parish Administrator
Openlng the Church Report
Highest number of visitors 11, from the local walking group. They pass through on
Tuesdays.
Those visiting were often lighting candles in memorial, or had been married or baptised
in St. Andrew's. Others just wished to explore the history, and all loved the stained glass
of course. One young lady from the college was most interested in the church and all
things Christian. Lovely girl who after a tour and chat spent 45 minutes at least reading in
the chapel.
Hopefully with the better weather coming, we will have more visitors. All of those who
visited were very happy with the wann welcome.

Little Stars Toddler Group Report
Little Stars has gone from strength to strength over the course of the year. We have
nearly 40 families on our register but numbers each week average between 10 and 20
toddlers (mostly 0-2 year olds) with their parents or carers; we have new families joining
us most weeks. We meet every Monday moming in the Chapter House during school
term times.
We are very grateful for the use of the Chapter House and for all the support St.
Andrew's gives to Little Stars. Your prayers are invaluable: a comment frequently made
by parents is how much they enjoy our group because of the calm. peaceful
atmosphere; l am sure that that is because of the prayers covering all we do. Our
families were also very touched to hear that members of the congregation had bought a
'real' Advent calendar for each child.
Norfolk County Council early years support workers have visited twice, to tell parents
what is available for them; on the second visit each child was given a bag containing
sensory play things. l also signed us up for a BooktrusUBookstart pilot scheme
encouraging children and parents to enjoy sharing books together; we received gift
packs for every child containing age-appropriate books and a game.
I would like to thank Cathie, Paula, Shaula and Rajan for all their involvement and help
over the year.
Caroline Kinchin-smith
Ladies Club Report
Ladies club continue to meet on alternate Thursday afternoons in the North Meeting
Room. Our numbers are fairly consistent and we are a small but perfectly formed
group.
Over the last year we have had a varied programme, some quieter than others.
We have enjoyed the peace of pamper afternoons.
We have had tasting sessions, one for cheeses from around the world and one for
various hot chocolates and we leamt from that one, that there is a limit to just how much
hot chocolate one can drink!
We celebrated St. George's day with Morris dancing.
We were very lucky with the weather for our strawberry tea and were able to enjoy
strawberries and cake in Jean's garden, the rain held off just until we were clearing away.
We had our annual Christmas dinner, and although we were a much smaller group than
usual, because of illness, we had great fun as groups did charades of Christmas carols.
We would always welcome new members.

Financlal Revlew
The 2024 accounts have been produced solely for St. Andre￿S Church, Gorleston. In recent years,
consolidated accounts were produced for St. Andre￿5 Church and Cliff Park Community Church,
Gorleston in accordance wtth Diocesan advice, CPCC activities having been recorded under Restricted
Funds. In January 2023 CPCC achieved Its own charltable status, and therefore, wlll submlt Its own set
of accounts for 2024. Accruals accounting was adopted in 2021, because the combined income of the
churches exceeded £250.1￿)0. and this continues.
Taking the accounting figures relatlng to St. Andre￿5 Church only, the Income remalned the same for
2024 as it was in 2023 at £123K, this was mainly due to legacy recelpts recelved In 2024. Planned
glving Increased and there continues to be a steady rise in contsrtless donations. as well as givin8
onllne. Gift Day donations rose by £4k compared to the previous year.
Weddings and funerals income decreased by £3.5k, however, the Chapter House lettings income
Increased by £2.5k. Other notable Increases for Income thls year came from Glft Ald Clalms (up by
£1.9K) and fundraising (also up by £1.9KI.
The ma8azine finances recorded a loss of £IK for 2024: it was agreed by the PCC not to transfer this
debt to the newly formed Gorleston Magazine CIC.
Overall expenditure fell by £8.3k. down to £144K in 2024 from £152.6k in 2023. The Parish Share
Allocation Request was paid in full In 2024 (£61kl; this was a blg achievement considerln8 current
financial pres5ure5. Ongoin8 efforts have been made to reduce church running cost5 which was
reflected by a fall of £1.7K compared to 2023. administrative costs have remained the same as the
previous year.
Several projects were completed In 2024 includlng improvements to securlty which incorporated an
upgrade to the CCTV system and new door entry systems (£4.7K). Major building works Included
repairs to the area around the west window. removal of a disused chimney and exploratory work on
the wooden floor (£24.6K).
The final result for the Parish was a deficit of £21.7k for the year, which was drawn from St Andre￿5
reserves. This was anticipated for the year due to the works being undertaken as detailed above.
With the Parish Share being paid in full for the fjrst time in many years and running costs being
maintained or reducing slightly whilst planned givlng showed a slight increase on 2023. this was within
the limits of the parish budget set for 2024.
Reserves Pollcy
The PCC aims to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds that equates to at least three months of
unrestricted payments to cover cash commltments and to meet emergencles. In our current
operations this approximates to £27k.
At the end of 2024 the balance on unrestricted funds had increased to £37.7k, designated funds stand
at £31.9K and restricted funds £17.4K. The PCC continues to consider ways it can build up unrestricted
funds to the optimum level for use in futureyears. The PCC will considerthe designation of any surplus
free funds to provide for future development of mission and ministry. as well as to provide matched
funding for any future funding applications.
