TAUNTON TEAM CHAPLAINCY TRUST ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2022
Introduction
This is the twelfth annual report of the Trust and covers the year ending 31st December 2022. It complies with the public benefit reporting requirements of the Charity Commission.
Objectives
The Trust’s aim is " To advance the Christian faith in the Taunton area for the benefit of the public by engaging or appointing a chaplain/chaplains to provide pastoral care, evangelistic witness and prayer in workplaces, shops, public areas and elsewhere. "
Achievements and performance - work of the Chaplaincy
Team Chaplains go wherever they may be needed in our community and although the Chaplaincy is a Christian organisation, its volunteers willingly engage with and help people regardless of background, race or culture. The demand for Chaplains to offer compassionate support and care to people in need continues to grow in the current climate of uncertainty and increasing pressures. Heightened awareness of the importance of ‘mindfulness/well-being’, which encompasses physical, emotional and spiritual needs spurs chaplains to offer to get alongside people, if invited to do so, and signpost them to professional help. They may provide confidential help lines for stress, anxiety, depression and short-term psychological services, such as counselling. Chaplains deal with people who may need any of a huge range of services;
-
Money advice and debt management.
-
Relationships, divorce and separation advice
-
Family crisis
-
Child and elder care information services
-
Bereavement counselling
-
Legal information and guidance
As at 31st December 2022, we had 39 volunteers, 3 associate chaplains and one part-time paid Lead chaplain. Chaplains are drawn from 19 different churches, (including Anglican, Baptist, Independent, Methodist and Evangelical free churches) and value working in an ecumenical organisation. Most chaplains are not ordained ministers and Trustees are indebted to chaplains for giving so freely of their time and energy - on average half a day each week, but some more frequently.
Since the last report, despite an expectation that life would resume to something resembling preCovid times, the need for ‘a listening ear’ has grown due to political instability leading to increasing economic pressures. This has caused anxiety on a scale hitherto unknown, coupled with increasing concerns for the homeless now that the Canonsgrove facility has been closed and residents relocated – sometimes to inappropriate settings. While scope for expansion of chaplaincy work is enormous, growth depends on larger numbers of volunteers coming forward, as well as increased finance to support it. New chaplains are always welcome and numbers are slowly increasing, but not fast enough to match requests for help.
The trustees acknowledge (and are encouraged by) the positive reception that chaplains receive from proprietors, managers and staff in workplace and community locations. Further impetus has been given to the work of the recently-formed courts chaplaincy, as seen by the request by the High Sheriff to attend a session with the courts team in November.
Operational methods
Chaplains operate in clusters, each headed by a volunteer convenor:
Chaplains and Rail Responders meet regularly for training to hone skills, offer mutual encouragement and prayer. Some chaplains have not been able to get back to work in care homes, but have continued to reach out to residents, staff and business owners via regular telephone and email support where physical visits have been put on hold. Our volunteers have provided the following services:
-
A helpline has been provided to those living in a large, sheltered housing complex to befriend elderly people living alone and may feel lonely and isolated as a result. Shopping and prescriptions have been collected and some elderly people have been transported to churchrun coffee shops and lunch clubs.
-
Providing emotional, practical and spiritual help to residents and staff at a temporary hostel for the homeless – This has now closed and residents have been moved - not always sympathetically – across the county, placing extra demands on the chaplain who continues to support at a distance some of the former residents who have relapsed into alcoholism and violence. This has been distressing considering the tremendous progress that some residents had made while in Canonsgrove. The chaplain is still trying to find suitable solutions to various issues caused by the closure of the hostel. We are seeing more and more homeless back on the streets – a worrying prospect as the winter sets in. That said, one of the former residents recently wrote to the chaplain thanking her for taking so much trouble, and for saving his life. He has learned to read and write due to her literacy sessions, turned his life around, got a job and was now back with his family. Such encouraging stories encourage chaplains to carry on!
-
Marshalling at local vaccination centres;
-
Retail (5 chaplains)- for shop workers (including ASDA Taunton branch of the nationwide store and a number of smaller local businesses). Sadly, the Chaplaincy’s help sheet for staff dealing with redundancy, highlighting how they could care for their mental health has again been required for use in several redundancy/closure situations since it was first produced during the closure of Debenham’s store two years ago. There are, however, new opportunities opening up as new shops open in the new Riverside development and owners will welcome a cheery face.
-
Offices (3 chaplains) - for office workers (the District and County Council headquarters in Taunton and The United Kingdom Hydrographic Office); slowly being re-instated as workers and businesses adjust to new ways of working – sometime in office and part-time from home. Working from home makes it more difficult to connect with potentially needy or isolated workers. New .issues will emerge as the County offices are reorganised following the decision to make Somerset a unitary authority and combine the existing five authorities. This could entail further redundancies and relocation for many staff with the subsequent adverse effects on mental health and general well-being and consequently a potentially greater need for emotional support.
• Public spaces (3 chaplains) – connecting with the general public (in the countryside, town centre and parks). Speaking to walkers about life and faith as part of general conversation We have been encouraged by the age range and general diversity of those willing to engage in conversations about life, well-being and mental health matters – not surprising in the current climate.
• Marginalised people (2 chaplains) - at Taunton Open Door Day-centre for rough sleepers, the YMCA Dulverton Group training hotel and hostel for adult homeless and disadvantaged young adults, and at the Canonsgrove hostel for adult homeless people. Our chaplain at the Canonsgrove hostel has done much valuable work among the residents, building self-esteem, teaching them social skills, helping a
number with addictions. A programme of literacy/numeracy classes involved helpers coming from outside to take classes. A reading group and a choir were also established. One resident, recently recovered from cancer, was extremely grateful to our chaplain for the support she gave him during this crisis in his life. Another whose marriage was about to break down irretrievably has been able to seek reconciliation with his wife and children. Another has expressed his gratitude for time spent with him to help him regain control of his complicated circumstances. The work has been actively supported in practical ways by local church members via catering, providing clothing etc on an ad hoc basis. However, the hostel, due to close in spring 2023, closed in November 2022, causing concern about the fate of residents and how chaplains can continue to support them. We have seen the numbers of those sleeping rough again increase - almost overnight - and are considering options to react to this situation, possibly by setting up a team home.
• Care homes (9 chaplains)- for residents and staff (Calway House, Moorhaven, Netherclay, Lavender Court, Hamilton Park and the Firs care homes, with associate chaplains serving at The House of St Martin) Covid has had a huge impact on care homes, not all of which are confident of admitting non-resident chaplains to visit, even yet, despite requests from families and residents. As always, chaplains regard and abide by the rules in each establishment and provide support wherever possible. Support in person by wearing PPE (where required), by telephone to residents, their families, and staff in care homes
• ‘Rail Responders ‘(9 chaplains) - for travellers, and vulnerable people attracted to the locality. When travel restrictions were lifted earlier in the year, the services of Rail Responders were again in demand and offered their services promptly, reassuring staff and anxious passengers – most tragically to help avert a couple of suicide attempts. Regular patrols look out for people in distress near Obridge, a viaduct over the railway line, canal and river – where suicide attempts are sadly a regular occurrence. Rail responders work in collaboration with the police and the Samaritans as well as with staff and passengers who may have been witnesses to events and distressed by what they have seen and heard – as was the case towards the end of the year.
• The Chaplaincy continues to spearhead a mental health awareness campaign among local churches and some chaplains have recently undergone Mental Health First Aid and/or Safeguarding training in order to be better equipped to recognise issues and offer or signpost individuals to appropriate support. We have also written to local churches to suggest that their members might be vigilant in their ‘warm spaces’ initiatives if/when they see people in obvious distress and (if appropriate) to phone the emergency services. Volunteers must always be conscious of their own safety. Information from statutory and voluntary agencies has been shared with local churches and chaplains to raise awareness of issues and of the resources available. Our Lead Chaplain has been invited to contribute to the County Council’s Public Health team’s focus on the issue of suicide. Some chaplains have undergone Mental Health First Aider training to aid response.
• Chaplaincy to the Taunton Magistrates court (6 chaplains) became fully functional in March. Initially chaplains were requested to attend on a monthly basis. This soon became fortnightly, and then weekly, as the value of having support for those attending the courts was recognised. Chaplains work in pairs to provide calm reassurance for those who may find appearing in court a daunting and frightening experience. All chaplains have full DBS checks and are sometimes asked by anxious defendants to accompany them into the courtroom. Court staff have remarked upon the calming influence of having chaplains around and the change in atmosphere on the days when they are present. The High Sherriff requested a visit to the Courts to observe for herself the work of chaplains with a view to recommending its adoption further afield. Her visit took place at the end of November and she was extremely complimentary about the compassionate interaction she saw.
Other activities
We continue to see an increasing number of people in difficulties, often financial, sometimes leading to severe marital or family problems, including divorce and domestic violence. Chaplains out and about, and at our drop-in office in the town, have supported distressed individuals, many of whom present with mental health issues due to anxiety, stress and isolation and are glad to have a sympathetic listener. Chaplains often sign-post individuals to specialist services.
- The 15th Business Carol Service for people who work in Taunton took place on 8th December 2022, in St James’ Church. It was also available in a video format, broadcast on Facebook, You Tube and, in an extended audio version, twice on Tone FM community radio station. We are extremely grateful to St James’ church for hosting the event, which was attended by about 400 people either in person or digitally.
Our chaplains volunteer in other organisations and charities not directly managed by us, some of which were started by Christians, but welcome volunteers of any or no faith. Others are simply organisations using their expertise to help the community. These include:
-
Taunton Foodbank;
-
Avon and Somerset Faith Communities Response to Major Incidents team. This is a team of more than 100 volunteers, coordinated by Police chaplains, who offer help during major incidents.
-
Open Door charity for the homeless and the YMCA (Dulverton) group which helps the homeless and disadvantaged young adults;
-
The local Sea and Royal Marines Cadets;
-
The local Air Cadets;
-
The local Army Cadet Force;
-
The Mind Somerset charity for mental health issues.
-
The Royal British Legion
-
Avon and Somerset Constabulary
Community links
The Chaplaincy has excellent relationships with the two former Councils serving the Taunton area Somerset West and Taunton Council provided us with a town centre office at a peppercorn rent which has been open to members of the public. We have good links with more than 40 local churches and many voluntary community groups. Our lead chaplain attends the weekly meetings of the “B1” group of church leaders. He, and the Courts Chaplaincy Convener, have both spoken to churches and community groups about the work of the Chaplaincy.
About 100 Friends provide regular prayer support via a confidential Prayer Headlines document which is sent out each fortnight to Friends, chaplains and trustees. This anonymously highlights people in need who ask chaplains for prayer and who specifically agree to being prayed for by this prayer network. There were an increasing number of answers to prayer during the year. Each Tuesday morning a prayer meeting at 10am is held in person and via Zoom to pray collectively for people and situations mentioned (anonymously) in the Headlines document and for the town. Chaplains collected statistics about impact of their encounters:

*In addition to the significant encounters shown above, the Lead Chaplainhad 3,567 significant encounters through community engagementin a wide variety of meetings and settings. These included the Business Carol Service (estimated 400 people) and compering Carols in Vivary Park (estimated 1500 people)
The number of significant encounters was 80% higher than 202 1 due to a number of factors including a relaxation of restrictions imposed by the pandemic and the start of court chaplaincy. Further measures to record the impact of chaplaincy will be developed as figures become available.
Financial review
Placements are not charged for chaplaincy services. TTC offers this as a gift to the town. Full figures are provided in the annual accounts but in summary, the annual accounts show a deficit of £ for the year. Expenditure was £ and income was £.
Grants received in 2022 comprised the Reach9ng Communities (Lottery) Fund (£11,950), Somerset County Council’s Adult Well-being Fund (£5,000) for support of mental well-being in our community and the Somerset High Sheriff’s Fund (£1,500) for the start of our courts work. Trustees are most grateful to all these organisations for their support.
Donations were provided from 8 churches (£7,079) and from individuals (£5,444 with Gift Aid).
Other income amounted to £248. Trustees are grateful to all these donors and the sacrifices involved at a time when budgets are increasingly being stretched.
Trustees are very grateful to Somerset West and Taunton Council for their discretionary rates discount. Most of our donations provided steady income each month or quarter. Regular donations are very useful because TTC's expenditure is regular. We are indebted to Andy Hall for his tireless efforts in sourcing funding so that others can benefit from our work. We are extremely grateful to all our donors, whatever the amount. Gift aid is claimed in respect of private donors who are taxpayers and who give consent. We also very much appreciate the contributions made through gifts in kind and churches providing meeting space and other facilities free of charge. We are conscious of the need to keep expenditure to an absolute minimum. Administrative information Taunton Team Chaplaincy Ltd
is a company limited by guarantee (company number 07108916) and a charity which is registered with the Charity Commission (number 1136868). The Chaplaincy is administered by a board of trustees.

(Rev Mike Haslam sadly tendered his resignation due to pressure of other commitments at the Autumn meeting) Other trustees are under consideration currently with a view to appointment in the Spring
Richard Chewter, formerly senior Chaplain in Watford conducted an appraisal of the chaplaincy in early November 2021 in compliance with the terms of the Reaching Communities grant. Follow-up occurred in March 2022 with a separate appraisal of the lead chaplain Adrian Prior-Sankey and included appropriate goal-setting.
Janice succeeded Beccy Fox in providing administrative and IT support. Lynda Marshall helps to assemble the Prayer Headlines. Helen Clegg has served us admirably as our honorary treasurer during the year. Trustees recognise her invaluable contribution behind the scenes during 2021, while Andy Hall has done sterling work as Director of Fundraising.
