1. Introduction

The Parish was formed in 1981 from parts of the parishes of St John’s and Horsell. St Andrew’s Church, in the centre of Goldsworth Park was opened in 1988. Scott Smith was installed as Vicar in June 2022.

Paid staff in 2022 included: Patrick Coad, full-time Community & Youth Worker; Karin Rayner, part-time Children & Family’s Worker; Alison Good, part-time Parish Administrator; Val Purulak, Cleaner and Ricardo Forde, Caretaker (A2). Retired ministers Revd Chris Harrison, Revd Canon Dr Malcolm Herbert provide invaluable help.

Revd Janice Vickers as a self-supporting minister, and Julie May as Licensed Lay Minister complete the Leadership team, alongside volunteer Pastoral Coordinator Liz Twigg and Small Group and Alpha leader, Yas Cairncross, also a volunteer leader.

Amanda Smith is the Manager of Andy’s Community Café. She works with a small but dedicated team of volunteers from the Church and community.

Scott Smith - Vicar

2. Vicar’s Report

On Monday morning, January 10th I drove from my home in Beckenham to a place I had never heard of called Goldsworth Park. A friend had tipped me off in October 2021 that a job advert would likely be placed in The Church Times in the New Year, and so following its publication I headed out into the traffic. I spent the morning walking around the lake and up to the canal as well as exploring various roads and paths. As I walked I prayed, asking God simply if this was where he was calling me, calling us as a family.

P a g e | 3

I had an instant sense that this could be a good ‘fit’ and so applied, was invited for interview and on the evening of February 22nd was offered the position of Vicar of St Andrew’s Church, Goldsworth Park.

As I wrote in my application I am excited by all that I see in the life of St Andrew’s and its willingness and desire to go deeper with God alongside a desire to reach out to bless its community.

I am still excited, and particularly so, as what I read in the Parish profile has been my reality since arriving.

Thank you all for the way you have welcomed us - we are loving being part of the church family here at St Andrew’s.

As I’ve arrived and settled in, there’s been a lot to take-in, but I’m thankful to the Wardens, Mandy and Shani, the staff team and indeed the whole church family for making it, at least from my perspective, a smooth transition.

There’s so much to celebrate in the life of St Andrew’s, and much of my first months here has been seeking to understand all that goes on, to find the ‘heartbeat’ of St Andrew’s as well as seeking where God is at work and where He is calling us to join in.

I’ve also looked to connect with the wider community, attending GPCA meetings amongst other things.

There have been unforeseen challenges and difficult decisions to be made, one which meant that the PCC took the decision to reduce the opening times of Andy’s Community Cafe, and yet despite that, we welcomed lots of people on a Monday and Tuesday as part of the Warm Hub initiative.

There is a more challenging financial picture that I’d anticipated - albeit one where the generosity of the church family enabled the lift to be refitted so that we all can once again gather upstairs as one body.

The focus through the early months of this year have been about working with the PCC to review all that goes on in the life of St Andrew’s as well as begin to prioritise our next steps for the upcoming season in the church’s life.

P a g e | 4

This has occurred in partnership with the Diocese and their gifted ‘Mission

Enabling’ team.

Fundamentally, what underpins all of this work is the understanding that St Andrew’s exists to serve its community, inviting them to know and worship the Creator God who loves them, and has revealed Himself most clearly in the Person of Jesus.

It’s out of this place of seeking to worship and follow Jesus, both individually and together, dependent on the Holy Spirit that we become the people and community that God calls us to be.

A people that pulsate with Jesus’ life and Spirit.

My sense has been that our priorities for the coming season will focus around: Prayer

Formation & Discipleship

Mission & Community

Children & Families

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my first ten-months in post, and as we begin to put new frameworks and plans in place for the future, I’m excited for what lays ahead of us.

I continue to value your prayers, encouragement and support as we look for God’s leading us on.

Scott Smith – Vicar

3. Church Attendance

The average Sunday attendance on a usual Sunday (during October 2022) was 96 adults and 14 children. There were 206 attendances during Holy week. There were 299 attendances over the Christmas period for the Christingle and Crib Service, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services.

In 2022, there were two Baptisms. There were no marriages and two funerals held at St Andrew’s.

At the end of December 2022, the Electoral Roll stood at 175.

The role of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) is to share leadership responsibility for the parish with the vicar. It also acts as the Board of Trustees for the church as a registered charity. The PCC met eleven times during the year for regular meetings including one immediately after the APCM to elect officers. The PCC was very pleased to welcome Rev Scott Smith as our new incumbent as from June and he chaired his first PCC meeting in July. Prior PCC meetings in the year were chaired by John Rayner as Vice Chair. Staff team members Patrick Coad and Karin Rayner were also regularly in attendance at PCC meetings.

P a g e | 7

The Finance Standing Committee dealt with all finance and urgent matters

between PCC meetings, reporting regularly to the PCC. The PCC continued with a Mission: Far & Near Team to look after the church’s involvement in world mission and an Eco Church Team to advise on sustainability and care for God’s creation. The PCC also has a Fire Safety Team under the leadership of our Fire Safety Co-ordinator (Gregg Mimms).

The major agenda item for the PCC at its meetings through the first part of the year was managing church life during vacancy and without an operational lift whilst making preparations for Scott’s arrival although, in truth, most of the work on these was ably looked after by our Churchwardens. The use of our reserves for urgent maintenance work and a decline in church giving has caused a focus towards the end of the year on the church’s financial position which will be a key concern in 2023.

During 2022, the PCC received regular reports from leaders of various ministries within the church. Amongst other matters dealt with by the PCC were; the management of COVID provisions, the future of 25 Watercress Way (which, with two investors wanting to withdraw and no immediate use of the property by the church will lead to its disposal in 2023) and completion of the land transfer of part of the garden from the Scouts to the church.

The PCC also received regular updates on our finances, buildings, Eco Church, Deanery Synod and safeguarding, and undertook regular review of policies and terms of reference as per the agreed schedule.

The PCC is looking forward in 2023 to working with Scott to develop the ministry vision for St Andrew’s in the years ahead – Where is God leading us as His ambassadors for the Gospel in Goldsworth Park?

The PCC is, as always, thankful to its to all its officers and staff for the work they do in running and supporting the church.

5. Church Building Report

We have now completed most of the work recommended by the Quinquennial Inspection Report 2020.

This year we have had rainwater drains dug out to expose the air bricks along the patio side of the A2 building to stop rainwater ingress causing damage to the A2 joists in future.

We are awaiting a quote for replacing the rotten floor in the youth room and expect to proceed with the work this year if funds permit. When the floor has been done we expect to redecorate the youth room.

We have put on hold having sound clouds in the A2 hall due to the potential cost. The on-site survey and installation costs are likely to be upwards of £3,500.

Last but certainly not least are the lift and the accessible doors projects. Thanks to the generosity of the congregation, the lift refurbishment has taken place and it is in full working order. We are now on track to have the main door, the double doors into Andy’s and the door from the lobby into the corridor running alongside Andy’s made more accessible by summer 2023. Huge thanks to Neil Cheetham and team for obtaining a grant to fund the accessible doors work.

Mandy Hucker & Shani Orchard – Church Wardens

6. Youth Report

Sunday

Since September 2021, Fusion has met in the evenings and moved from the A2 into Andy’s, providing a more comfortable environment to meet while the youth room is unavailable.

P a g e | 9

We began the year using resources provided by YFC, but have since the summer switched resources to those produced by Urban Saints and have mostly followed similar themes to those of the morning worship.

We have welcomed 3 coming of age from the Skids group, with 2 others invited. Attendance can be up to 8 with an average of 5 each week.

Fiona and Duncan assist leading. The youth enjoy the different leadership styles.

Friday Fusion

We continue to meet fortnightly in the A2. There are 6 regular attendees, one of which has joined since September.

Once a term we have invited youth from across both groups to a fun and social activity outside of the church. In the spring about a dozen went donutting at Christ College.

In July, 15 went bowling in the Big Apple, and in December 5 went bowling at the new Woking Superbowl. These have been good opportunities to reconnect with some that we have seen at church less frequently, and for those that do attend to invite their friends.

Rahel Lamperth assists in leading these sessions.

Schools

I continue to attend Woking High each week, engaging more with year 7 and year 8 pupils than we previously were (most attending lunch times 21/22 were year 10). We have engaged in conversation outside at lunchtimes, as well as more focussed conversation and activity in small groups at lunch time.

I also continue to lead sessions when needed and ensure a continuity in adult support each week.

I have assisted Engage on occasion at Hoe Valley School at the CU.

Since the summer I have not been involved at Woking College, due to changes in availability of churches working with Engage.

7. Children’s Work Report

During 2022 many of the children and family activities could start again after the upheaval of the Covid years, despite some continued disruption.

The Sunday Kids group (SKids) was face to face again and lots of fun. Topic covered included Nehemiah, Timothy, James and the parables of Jesus. We decided to keep with just one SKids group for ages 3-10 meeting in the A2 as numbers of children and volunteers were still small. From September, Janice and her team started the Minnows group for 0-4 years olds in the chapel, which gave more flexibility for the younger children on a Sunday morning. Older children (ages 11+) usually opted for the Sunday evening Fusion session with Patrick, but they were still welcome to join SKids on a Sunday morning. Each SKids family was given a special book to commemorate the Queen’s Jubilee and all the children received a booklet at Christmas.

Contact with local schools continued, and we managed to go back in person for some more Open the Book assemblies in both Beaufort and Sythwood Primary schools (see picture of the whale in Jonah the Moaner ).

School visits to St Andrew’s Church included Reception classes in February, Year 5 classes to do the Easter Investigation, a Year 6 leavers’ service in July, Year 3 classes for the Christmas Unwrapped event and school carol services. The Sythwood Carol services had to be relocated to the school hall due to poor weather and heating concerns, but Scott and Karin were still able to attend.

Community events for families included games afternoons and a successful Light party in October. A pancake party was planned for February 2023.

P a g e | 11

The Christmas season is always busy with several events in and around the

church. The 2022 Crib & Christingle Service was so popular we nearly ran out of seats! The main attraction was probably Scott dressed as an orange Christingle, so it is going to be a tough act to follow this year…

As expected 2022 continued to be a challenging time for children’s work. Yet with the care and commitment of a small, dedicated group of volunteers we have been able to take the good news into schools and share the love of Jesus with many families in our community in a variety of ways. Please pray for the amazing people who help lead groups, do assemblies, volunteer at family events, or contribute in a number of different ways which are often unseen but essential. As we look ahead to what we want we believe God is calling us to do with our children and families ministry, we ask for prayers for clear guidance and enough helpers to do God’s will on Goldsworth Park.

Karin Rayner – Children’s Worker

8. Small Groups

We currently have 8 small groups with a total of approximately 60 people in them. Of these 8 small groups 3 meet during the day and the rest meet on weekday evenings, 2 groups meet weekly and the rest meet fortnightly.

A couple of our groups have regular social events built into their schedules whilst the others prefer to catch up socially over tea and coffee at the start of or end of each group meeting. Most of our groups meet in the homes though 3 groups meet in the church building one of meets in the A2 for reasons of accessibility and this group also keeps an option to meet on zoom for the same reasons especially during inclement weather.

Various types of study guides seem to be the preferred material most of our groups enjoy though one or two do do other things as well.

P a g e | 12

Our small group leaders are amazing and work tirelessly in preparing for the study, opening their homes as well as doing all the admin that’s needed, but above all they are the ones often “see” between the lines and hear what’s not said, they quietly make the phone calls filled with love and care and on going prayer.

We are incredibly grateful to them and to each other in our groups but most of all we thank God for another year of loving and growing in our faith together in our small groups.

Yas Cairncross - Small Groups

9. Pastoral Report

The pastoral team has continued to encourage every member ministry. Training for members of St Andrew’s has been arranged for 22 people. The training was called ‘Dancing in the dark, walk towards the light supporting people with depression’. This was arranged as we have been very much aware as to how the number of people struggling with their mental health has increased over the past year.

We have been able to sign post people to professional help for issues ranging from finance to unemployment and health issues.

Janet, Sue and Geoff all pastoral assistants hold a Coffee and Chat table in Andy’s more details to follow in the coffee and chat report.

The pastoral assistants continue to do home communion when needed.

We have a talented senior’s team, and we continue to run twice a term events with a lunch or tea for 50 to 60 seniors, we have a good mix of church and community people that attend. We always have Christian input into these events.

P a g e | 13

Sarah Rattee and team continue going into Brockhill for tea, cake and prayer once a month.

We, as a pastoral team, have been very grateful to Shani Orchard who has arranged with Foodwise to let St Andrew’s use their meals for people in need. We have been able to bless new mums and bereaved people and anyone struggling with life by being able to give them a meal.

The pastoral team continues to thank God that we as a fellowship are all prepared to care for one another. I feel very privileged to lead the pastoral team with such pastorally gifted people as Geoff Beale, Sue Broad and Janet Wood.

Liz Twigg - Pastoral Co-ordinator

10. Prayer Ministry Report

During the covid pandemic we’ve only been able to offer prayer ministry over the phone or via email, so it’s been a privilege to be able to pray with folk in person again in church. We have a team of 10 people who are trained in listening and prayer ministry who are available after the morning service to pray with you and/or for you and those for whom you have a concern. If you would prefer not to request prayer via the prayer chain, you can ask members of the team to pray for you during the week by contacting Chris on [e-mail].

Chris Harrison

11. Mission: Far and Near Report

We continued support of ten mission partners – there were no changes during the year. The Mission: Far & Near (M:F&N) Team continued its focus on aiming to communicate the news and prayer needs of our partners through various channels.

P a g e | 14

During 2022, we had in-person visits from Tony Hewat, on behalf of The Besom, Shelly Blunden, on behalf of Engage, and we spoke to our own Jo Barnet about her role as a Street Angel here in Woking. In addition, we had two video appearances; Rachel Smith, who was planning to visit St Andrew’s for a weekend in the summer but could not due to the illness and then death of her mother, was interviewed over Zoom and we had a Christmas video message from the Norbury family with MAF in Papua New Guinea.

In addition to these, the Team provided the church family weekly prayer updates from our partners and, in 2023, are moving to a service pattern where every month (except August and December) there will be one Sunday with a M:F&N “slot” providing updates on one of our partners.

Support of our mission partners takes various forms including prayer, practical, friendship and finance. In 2022 a total of £30,750 (16% of our 2021 donation income) was given to our ten partners and including a £1000 gift to Tearfund for Disaster Relief relating to the floods in Pakistan. A further £800 for mission was raised through specific gifts and collections.

At the end of the year, Rob Rattee stood down as Chair of the M:F&N Team, a role he has held for some seven years. Peter Vaughan-Hirsch also stood down from the Team. Scott is now chairing the Team and Jane Smith has joined to provide administrative support. In the coming year a more constrained financial position and the wider review of our missional purposes at St Andrew’s will, undoubtedly, lead to changes in who we support and the level of financial support we can provide. Please pray for the Team as they work this through.

Scott Smith – Chair, Mission: Far & Near

12. Worship & Teaching Report

The beginning of 2022 (which you might remember was shaped by the increase in the Omicron variant of Covid) saw St Andrew’s run a sermon series entitled, ‘Praying when…’ covering topics such as Praying when God seems absent, when making big decisions, when I don’t want to, when anxious.

P a g e | 15

Through late-Spring and heading towards Summer, we looked at Paul’s letter to the church in Galatia, under the title, ‘Growing up in Christ.’

Our meeting all-together was affected at this point, by the lift being declared ‘unfit’. Our Sunday morning gatherings were from this point held in Andy’s Community Cafe as well as upstairs (with these services being ‘streamed’ in the chapel for those unable to make it upstairs). It was a great joy when we were able to gather all-together once again in October.

Through the Summer our series was entitled, ‘Meals with Jesus,’ and we were in Luke’s gospel which sees Jesus, as one commentator remarks, ‘either going to a meal, at a meal, or coming from a meal.’ It was a series that saw the larger themes of grace, community, hope, mission, salvation and promise emerge. Through the Autumn we studied Jesus’ parables, especially those that related to the kingdom of God, before journeying through the Church of England’s Advent Lectionary readings in the build-up to Christmas.

As well, in the Autumn, there was a change to our pattern of services, as we moved to a fortnightly communion service, with the intention of creating space to encounter God through an extended time of sung worship in the alternating weeks. An 8:30am service of Holy Communion was also introduced on the first Sunday of each month.

My sense as 2023 started was to root ourselves in the Book of Acts, the book in the Bible that sees God pour out His Holy Spirit on the Disciples as they wait in a locked upper room. From this moment, the Church is birthed and God’s mission finds new life and fresh momentum in the life of the first Disciples and the early church.

Our verse for the year (from Acts 3:6) reads, ‘Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you…’

It prompted the question, ‘What does it look like for us as a church if we are so taken up with Jesus, so in love with Jesus, so captivated by Jesus, so empowered by his Spirit, that our response is to give out of (only) what we have in Him?’

P a g e | 16

At the very heart of our life here at St Andrew’s has to be the Person of Jesus - the Risen and Ascended Jesus who sits at God’s right-hand, and to whom (one day) every knee shall bow.

Our teaching and worship at St Andrew’s seeks to always draw us back to the Person of Jesus, because it’s in Him that we find ourselves - we find ourselves known, loved and forgiven.

As I think I’ve said,

‘Worship isn’t an event to attend and watch. It’s a lifestyle to be lived.’ Our Sunday services aim to be spiritually fulfilling, and include a variety of liturgy, scripture and music (hymns and songs) with the aim of encountering God. I’m grateful to our gifted group of musicians, tech-teams, service leaders, preachers and others for the way they help facilitate this.

As we gather together Sunday-by-Sunday, and perhaps even more importantly day-by-day in our individual lives, we look to bring ourselves before our loving Heavenly Father, to realign ourselves with Him and the values of His kingdom - to be shaped, not by the world, by by the Person of Jesus and the Presence of His Spirit, and to be led into the ‘world’ to tell of the good news of His kingdom.

Scott Smith - Vicar

13. Community

Bump and Beyond

The Bump and Beyond group has continued on a Friday morning. The number of families attending varies between 12 and 23 a week.

As the older ones start to walk and become independent, parents make the decision themselves to move onto the Toddler Group and they are replaced by new families, who usually attend through word of mouth or reading the church website.

P a g e | 17

Sometimes families stay a little longer particularly if parenthood has been more

of a challenge for them and they need the support our smaller, less hectic group offers.

We continue to meet in Andy's unless the area is needed for church activities, when we meet in the A2. Andy's provides a cosier, quieter atmosphere which suits the families better.

Sue Slater continues to facilitate the group with help from Sue Hawes and Chris Harrison who recently joined the team.

Some weeks we offer a simple activity such as finger painting or messy play which many families get involved with. We end each session with a short singing time which is enjoyed by all.

One Friday a month Michelle Kerslake comes along to offer hand massages to the parents, so providing some pampering while their babies are taken care of by a willing volunteer!

We have received some lovely feedback from the families, some saying Friday is their favourite day of the week. Some mums returning to work have asked not to work on Fridays so they can continue to come to the group.

We invite all families to attend

appropriate church activities e.g. Messy Church, and Games Afternoons. A couple of families have started attending family services on a Sunday.

We look forward to another successful year of supporting families in their first year of parenthood.

Sue Slater

P a g e | 18

Toddlers

Both groups continue to be well attended by regular, intermittent, and new visitors, it’s been wonderful to see the regular and new mums chat together and watch the relationships grow. The relaxation of the Covid rules over this past year has helped the process and has been a welcome experience for all.

Popularity of the groups is consistent, but due to our ‘Drop-in’ status, and a desire not to overfill our premises for safety reasons (in the winter months only), we have needed to be quite strict on numbers. This limitation is made known to all enquirers and first-time visitors, so if families can’t get in one day, they know that our ‘Drop in’ status means they can return another. In good weather there is much less of an issue as we use our garden space.

A fruit snack continues to be on offer for the little ones at a designated time, after which the parents/carers are offered their own refreshments. At the moment we prepare these snacks beforehand, but we are thinking of returning to our former practise of laying the fruit up on a table to allow parents/carers to help themselves to what their little ones would like, as there tends to be less waste doing it this way. The nursery sing song and prayer time at the end of each session is a joy to behold, and loved by all!

Families continue to be invited to church services and events. The take up is limited Sunday morning wise, but much more positive with our indoor and outdoor fun events. Through these, and the links into the community and toddler group, we are finding that relationships are being built and conversations about Sunday morning church, prayer, and our being a Christian run group are becoming more natural.

P a g e | 19

Bridging the gap between Toddlers and church is never an easy one, but it’s an area of ministry that time energy and finances are being placed. Regular family events and Messy Church are ministries we will be developing for this next year or so, which we pray will be a bridge into making known the love of Jesus to all who come.

As always, we have a great team of loyal volunteers watching over the Groups. Volunteers who love what they do and are wonderful at not just making it happen, but chatting too, and coming alongside families to listen, chat, and pray.

Janice Vickers

Mum's Bible Study

The Mums’ Bible Study group met fortnightly during term time in the Chapel. This a small, welcoming group open to any mums, not just members of St Andrew’s Church. We had a few new mums join us this year, with young children too, which has been very encouraging.

Karin Rayner

Sing Gold

Sing Gold continues to flourish in our new format, and we have already welcomed some new members to the group.

After a considerable number of years our beloved Choir Master Malcolm Herbert decided to take a well-earned break and retired from Sing Gold in August 2022. However after a few months of scratching our heads and wondering in which way we could re-form, we finally decided to invite all former members to come together for a brainstorming session to see if we could find a way forward for the group.

P a g e | 20

In October 2022 we started meeting twice monthly for an informal singalong and

now meet weekly due to the success of the group.

We took part in both the Christmas Fayre, and also the lighting-up of the

Christmas tree outside Waitrose, where we sang carols together with the

brownies and other members of the community. We were also invited to sing at one of our former member’s funeral.

Sing Gold now meet every Wednesday afternoon in the Chapel

for an informal and fun singalong, no auditions required, and we are open to everyone in the community. Please come and join us.

Val Baker

Duncan’s Art Group

We meet every Thursday afternoon in the A2 room from 1pm until 3pm, whilst being an inclusive and welcoming, group of all ages, ethnicity, ability, gender, wellness or faith, we promote respect of all.

The concept of the group is to form a safe arena for all to enjoy art at every level and ability in a friendly, safe, environment.

Members of the group are drawn from a broad section of society. Relationships and lively conversation are important aspects of our meetings; during which the promoting of good mental health is a major part of our ethos.

We plan in the late summer to possibly hold an exhibition of our collective work.

Duncan Twigg

Craft Group

Craft group numbers have grown, despite losing a few ladies this year because of other commitments, I had 10 ladies attend the last session.

We meet between 10-11.30am on Thursdays in Andy’s and try a variety of crafts using, felt paper and fabric. Card making is a firm favourite.

Ages range from 12 to 80 years and everyone welcome to join us. Almost all from other churches and 2 or 3 not church goers, so opportunity for outreach.

Hearing Aid Clinic: Hearing Champions

Our monthly hearing aid clinic has been operating for nearly nine years, providing a vital service to NHS hearing aid users: we are still the busiest local church under the Diocese of Guildford’s Hear Here initiative. Recently the number of visitors averaged 50 per session, which is back to pre-pandemic numbers but, as we explain below, numbers are rising so we urgently need more volunteers from the St Andrew’s congregation.

We are open on the first Wednesday of each month. Our six NHS-trained technicians (Steve Davies, David Kaye, Nicky Kennard, Glenis Nay, Royer Slater and Duncan Twigg) clean and re-tube hearing aids, and provide advice on their use. They are supported by three receptionists and ushers (Sue Broad, Liz Twigg and Janet Wood). Our reception desk and waiting area is in Andy’s, where clients can stop for a cuppa if they wish.

We welcome many clients who would not otherwise enter the church. We not only maintain their hearing aids, but also offer companionship and opportunities for a chat.

P a g e | 22

We help with the training of new technicians from other churches around the

Diocese, so they gain experience under our supervision before starting up their own clinics.

We have restarted clinics at Brockhill every two months in conjunction with visits by the St Andrew’s Brockhill Team who run a monthly church service for residents.

Our monthly visitor numbers increased quickly after an 18 month COVID shutdown, thanks to publicity through local GP surgeries, the Woking News & Mail and BBC Radio Surrey. Other Woking churches who had operated similar clinics have decided not to reopen, so we gained their clients.

Recently the audiology departments in the three local hospitals began handing out directories of all the diocesan Hear Here clinics and referring patients directly to Hear Here clinics for routine hearing aid maintenance, so the hospitals can concentrate on hearing examinations and the most complicated hearing aid repairs. Therefore, visitor numbers are expected to increase significantly at all clinics in the diocese.

However, the numbers we presently see are the most we can cope with, especially in the reception area because Andy's is already busy and the additional people waiting there causes overcrowding. We have therefore asked local hospitals to stop referring patients, as well as suspending our own publicity. Being so busy means we are sometimes unable to spend as long as we would like with clients, especially those lonely people who would clearly like to chat.

P a g e | 23

More volunteers are urgently needed from the St Andrew’s congregation. Please consider joining us as a technician – you will be trained by NHS audiologists. You are welcome to come along to a clinic to see what happens. If you are interested, please speak to Glenis or Barry Nay, or email [e-mail].

We are grateful to the generosity of the St Andrew’s PCC for funding sanitising and cleaning materials, tools, printing and other things we need to operate clinics. This support is essential as the NHS only supplies hearing aid batteries and tubes.

After reopening in 2021 it was agreed that we would record certain measures in an attempt to evaluate the impact of Andy’s. Two figures that we had been previously unaware of were the number of customers we were serving, and the number of customers using the pre-paid buttons.

At the end of 2021 numbers had picked up, and throughout 2022 those numbers remained fairly consistent, with a slight increase over the year, to the point that it became increasingly difficult to effectively serve, and keep record. From the beginning of the year we were seeing between 100 - 150 people through the doors, but by the end of the year this was between 150 - 200. This increase in footfall inevitably led to an increase in sales. We also know that for some, it was their first time entering the building.

P a g e | 24

The second number of interest was whether Andy’s was providing opportunity for those in need of something to eat. Much like footfall, there was an increase over the course of the year. In January it was likely that we were providing 1 or 2 meals per week, rising to 5 or 6 by the end of the year. There was a peak in the summer holidays with 10 meals provided in one week. Free drinks also rose from 1 or 2 per week to 5 to 6.

One difficult measure we are unable to ascertain is the value of Pay as You Feel to those who are able to give something, and we know that among certain groups, and individuals, this has been of benefit to them.

The introduction of surplus stock from Morrison’s last year led to the introduction of the Community Cupboard. Initially this was an excess of products that needed to be used in order to avoid waste. We were also able to support specific families and individuals by setting aside some of the items we received, and delivering them, as well as informing some people when we had made a collection.

While the offer of items from Morrison’s has come to an end, despite one or two requests, the generosity of St Andrew’s Church members has ensured that the shelves are rarely empty, and visitors are most often able to find something to eat (as well as other bits and pieces).

At the end of 2022 we said goodbye to Mary, who has moved to South Africa to work with her son, and also to Ayman as he looks to training and a new career. We thank them both for their hard work, the friendships they have made, and welcome offered to all our visitors.

Out of Hours

Following the introduction of Out of Hours in November 2021, the team began planning regular events of live entertainment, for free, to members of the local community.

Initially COVID restrictions and guidance made it quite difficult, but as these were lifted we were able to increase the capacity, and found that we were increasingly able to fully book the events.

Many of those performing have had a faith, which has on some occasions enabled the event not only entertain, but also witness to those that have attended.

Andy’s has provided a very limited menu, and as well as bringing together a number of people to enjoy the live entertainment, along with donations received, has raised additional revenue.

In December Out of Hours moved upstairs, using the additional space to increase our capacity, seeing the return of previous performers and introduction of some of our hirers in a festive performance. This was not without issue, but with increased capacity, and the addition of a TENS licence enabling the sale of alcohol, increased Andy’s takings, and with generous donations, we were also able to offer a financial contribution to support the work of our neighbours in Woking and Sam Beare Hospice.

We thank John Smith, Mike Kerslake and Mike Cope for their enthusiasm and efforts to make these events friendly, fun and welcoming to a wide ranging audience.

Christmas Market

In 2021 the GPCA introduced a Christmas Market at which we were able to open Andy’s and provide light bites and refreshments. Live music was provided by Sing Gold, Serious Skiffle and a nativity performance from the Open the Book team.

In 2022 we were encouraged to coordinate the planning of the event. Pitch fees and Andy’s sales led to a financially successful event, with money raised shared with our other neighbours in Goldsworth Park at Your Sanctuary.

For some, this was the first time coming into St Andrew’s, and conversations with some of our members has seen them return to Andy’s.

Sing Gold once more performed to stallholders and visitors, but due to availability we were unable to perform a nativity.

The market has been enjoyed by visitors and stallholders with a warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere, with visitors from Goldsworth Park and further afield. For some it has been the first time they have visited the church.

Eco

This year we have spent most of our time in two areas. The first has been consulting with a team from RHS Wisley, and the various users of the A2 garden to see if we could redevelop it into a more eco-friendly space which would be available for the wider community to use. After much deliberation it was decided that the area was unsuitable for public access for enough time during the week to make it worthwhile. We are now considering if we can make the garden area outside the chapel into a suitable space that will be beneficial to the wildlife as well as being more accessible to our community.

The second area we have been working on is to complete the changes we needed to make so we could apply for the Bronze Eco church award. This was done and the award was given to us before Christmas!

P a g e | 27

We have been upgrading the recycling facilities in church over the last few weeks so please do make sure you recycle as much as you can into the appropriate bins around the church. We would also appreciate all your help to reduce the use of paper cups on Sundays as much as we possibly can, thank you to all of you who bring your own reusable cups, keep up the good work! This coming year we will be having an energy audit to help the PCC decide what to replace the current church boiler with by the time next winter arrives. Please do consider joining the team so we can work towards getting a Silver award in the future.

Look out for events we hope to put on with the wider community over the coming year, including hosting a Repair Café in Andy’s.

Many thanks to those already on the team for all your hard work to make St Andrew’s a more environmentally aware church.

Warm Hub

In the autumn of 2022 Warm Banks were being set up in various parts of the country as a response to increasing fuel costs and the cost of living crisis As time progressed ChurchWorks Commission, in partnership with a number of other organisations launched the Warm Welcome campaign. This was soon to be followed by Surrey County Council’s request for spaces to be offered as Warm Hubs.

With Andy’s Community Cafe offering a welcome and PAYF menu, it seemed an ideal opportunity to offer the space to those in need of somewhere warm and a friendly face. Andy’s Community Cafe was listed on both the Warm Welcome and County Council websites.

P a g e | 28

As well as offering the normal Andy’s Hours, we were blessed by the faithful support of a number of volunteers who enabled us to extend our offering, opening our doors at 9am with hot drinks ready, able to invite visitors into Andy’s without hindering the staff setting up for the day.

November was quite mild, and as might be expected with the introduction of something new, numbers were low, with only 3 people coming in that additional hour. As time went on we were welcoming about a dozen each week in that additional hour. It is unclear how many additional visitors we may have had in Andy’s normal hours.

We began to see some regular faces, including a York Road resident as well as others known to us to be in some need.

Surrey County Council assisted us in covering additional costs, and also offered a number of items that would help local residents to keep warm.

Coffee and Chat

We held Coffee & Chat sessions on 4 October, 1 November and 6 December last year. Since January we have included a second Coffee & Chat session each month as part of St Andrew's involvement in the Warm Hub scheme. These sessions are held in Andy's Cafe on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays from 10.30 am until 12.00 noon. If you are free and would like to join us, please come along anytime during 10.30 to 12.00 on these days, we would love to see you and get to know you better.

15. Woking Deanery Synod Report

The Deanery Synod Representatives: Barbara Humphries / Shani Orchard /Lynne West. Three meetings take place in a year:

8[th] February 2022

“Engaging With Schools as we Come Out of the Pandemic” – Jane Whittington who gave a detailed overview of the situation in the education system during and post the pandemic. During which ideas were given as to how churches could engage with schools.

14[th] June 2022

“Blessing the Community Through Sport and Kindness” Part 1: led by Rev. John McCabe. This should have included an interview with Rev. Becky Taylor, Curate at St Paul’s Dorking, however Becky was unable to join us so John McCabe summarised. Becky’s church were approached by Denbies Wine Estate and asked for volunteers for a fun run. The church accepted and found this to be a great mission opportunity. This has resulted in The Diocese encouraging churches to help with Park Runs on 17[th] September, 2022. A qualified personal trainer and fitness instructor then took the attendees through a sample of a class!

P a g e | 30

6[th] October 2022

Deanery sharing platform: Area Dean Mark Wallace explained how the evening would run. In relation to Parish Needs Process underway in our deanery, churches were invited to share something they felt they were doing well as a church before a vote to decide which topics Synod wanted to hear more about. They were given a brief – imagine you find yourself in a lift with the Bishop. Your incumbent is desperate to share the good news of something going on in your church with them. You have one minute to say what you are doing well.. Most churches contributed and the church requested to expand on their project was St Johns – Internal staffing. The harvest is plenty but the workers are few. There has been a real struggle to recruit a youth worker and the church are aware there is a nationwide shortage of youth/children’s/families workers. When the children’s worker left, rather than hunting externally for someone qualified, they decided to take on a trainee internally and train her in-house. Value for the future. NB: not cheap labour as expensive to train! Plus an extra person had to be taken on board to share some of the role.

As you can read, the subjects at Deanery Synod are interesting and sometimes challenging. It’s an ideal forum to share thoughts and ideas and meet with other people from different churches in the Woking area. The meetings are also friendly and entertaining! So do consider standing as a Deanery Synod Representative. There are only three meetings a year!

16. Finance report

The Church's financial situation is solvent, but we are needing to be carefully managed 2023 especially as some funds are not readily available as they are invested in our portion of Watercress Way.

As of the end of 2022, our net assets totalled £43,000, a decrease from the previous year's amount of £71,000. The major lift repairs were covered by donations; the decrease in reserves is over general costs exceeding income.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

A summary of the Balance Sheet is shown below:

----- Start of picture text -----
As At
ASSETS 31/12/2021 31/12/2022

Fixed Assets (Mainly the Church's share of the

Hall Hire etc). 8,000 13,500

LIABILITIES

Other liabilities (Grants in advance, funds for
special purposes eg Acts Fund, Mission F:N) (16,500) (22,000)
NET ASSETS 71,000 43,000
----- End of picture text -----

P a g e | 32

Roughly half of the net assets are held in the bank, in other short-term deposits, or debtors realised in at the start of 2023.

The PCC’s Reserves Policy is to hold liquid assets at a level equivalent to three month’s salaries. This was achieved for 2022 and but will be much more challenging in 2023.

In practical terms the majority of our income is from members via regular giving so we are able sustain a lower level of reserves for a periods of time. Income and costs are under review.

INCOME AND EXPENDITURE

The net deficit for the year (excess of expenditure over income) amounted to almost £27,500, this compares to £42,000 in 2021.

Across the year there was a small drop in regular giving but most continued. We are extremely grateful to have regular, reliable income to enable planning and stability. 2023 will see the move to the Parish Giving Scheme which will give donors greater control and increased flexibility over regular and ad hoc donations.

Early in 2022 the lift developed a fault and was unusable. The PCC obtained quotes and examined options to repair, to upgrade or a complete replacement. The best option proved to be significant repairs but delays in the supply chain lead to the lift being out of action for many months. The generosity of members saw donations cover all bar a tiny amount of the cost – thankyou!!

Grants for Andy’s are £7,500 (2021: £4,166) from the Diocese Growth Fund, £4,583 (2021: £417) from the Surrey Community Fund and, in 2021, £11,500 from the Government Job Retention Scheme.

P a g e | 34

Staffing was consistent across both years and the increase is general wage increases, changes to statutory wage rates and additional opening for Andy’s in the holidays with Covid restrictions behind us.

The main item in “Other costs” are general maintenance and utilities with nearly £19,000 in the year (2021 : £21,000).

2021 also included substantial amounts on repairing the roof, £14,000 and repairing the floor in the A2, £8,000.

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
