VICAR'S REVIEW OF THE YEAR This past year has seen a massive change within the church building itself. Thanks to the tireless efforts of Wendy Postles and Val Potter, elertric heating has now been installed beneath every pew in the church.The approximate cost has been £23,000. A sincere'thank you" to them both for arranging all of this which involved may hours of paperwork. form filling. phone calls and exploratory visits to churches already using this form of heating. The new church doors have dramatically improved the look of the church. They provide much needed light and are draft proof. The entryto the church now appears Inviting and welcoming. The joint venture which began last year in the setting up of 'The Cosy Corner Coffee Morning" th in Leigh Church on 2. and 4 Monda(s of the month continues to be well attended and now Liz Taylor has established Christ Church Cafe on 2. and 4, Wednesday afternoons. Both these ventures raise the profile of the church as it reaches Out into the two villages. It has been an incredibly busy yearfrom the pastoral point of view and all forthe wrong reasons; funerals, ill health as well as people worried about the war in Ukraine spreading. There is a mer)tal health epidemic all around with many people I know ill with anxiety and concern. These people often share their fears with me and it consumes a great deal of my time and energy. I firrnly believe that pastoral work with individuals is the most important aspect of my ministry and 5 am very grateful, for the continued help of the two Churchwardens and the help and support of the Readers and The Rev. John Scott. Church attendance is generally on the increase in spite of so many deaths. We have had a few new people join us, some from other churches, grateful for the teaching provided. My most sincere thanks also go to all the many volunteers who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the smooth running of our lovely church. Jonathun Willons SAFEGUARDING REPORT No safeguarding concerns were raised during the year. Safeguarding continues to be a standing agenda item at PCC meetings and matters such a5 policy, best practice and training are discussed at each meeting. Sarah Cowley has joined the PCC as a Parish Safeguarding Office and is focusing on training, while Sarah Penn continues to update DBSS. The safeguarLling officers undertook a safeguarding audit with help and input from Jonathan. Risk assessments for activities undertaken by the church have been updated, with the help from PCC members. Training is being routinely updated.
