The Charity of Mary Ann Rawson for Wincobank School CIO 1157105 132 Wincobank Avenue, Sheffield S5 6BB
Annual Report by Rev Inderjit Bhogal, chair of Trustees
The Chapel and School Room
It has been a unique year. We have come through a remarkable 12 months and we are still here. We kept Sunday Worship open throughout, online, and present when possible – thanks to all those who have contributed. We have grown. And we have grown in relation to our community and neighbourhood.
The buildings have been monitored with regular visits and inspections of both interior and exterior. The cracks in the Chapel wall have been professionally monitored by structural surveyors and we are awaiting the report.
We have met outdoors on Tuesdays when permitted and the Toddler Group resumed as soon as it was considered safe. Thanks to Gill and Janet for keeping up this most important work with children.
Holiday activities for older children and their families have been held outdoors in various places around the neighbourhood throughout the pandemic, and in the Chapel Garden after Easter
The Knit and Natter Crafts group has started to meet again outdoors. A weekly Zoom Chat session has been held for those shielding alone at home and we have been keeping in contact with others by phone.
We have recently completed two very successful events. The Garden Party on 1[st] May honoured 180 years of action with artwork supported by Ignite Imaginations now on display in the chapel. Thanks to all who supported the event. It was not primarily intended to raise funds but about £100 was generated, mostly by the sale of crafts.
The activity showed local people that we are still here. Sixty people passed safely through the multicultural event, observing social distancing.
On Sunday 8[th] May the Christening of little Viola saw a full house of eighteen people - an asylum seeker and her baby brought the Chapel community and neighbours together.
The water leak at the bottom of the path has now been repaired, the paths have been cleaned and will be repaired as a priority. The grass and gardens have been tended and look beautiful.
We are grateful to a Covid Support grant from South Yorkshire Community Foundation which funded Covid safety resources essential repairs, grounds maintenance, an awning and a Zoom subscription.
The School House
Twelve months ago we were unsure of what to do about the chapel house. We identified four options which the Trustees decided to keep open but to explore in the following order:
1
The Charity of Mary Ann Rawson for Wincobank School CIO 1157105 132 Wincobank Avenue, Sheffield S5 6BB
-
Renovate and open as a community hub
-
Rent out
-
Sell on the open market
-
Demolish
We have now raised over £90,000 in grants from Veolia, Sheffield City Council, Sheffield Town Trust and JG Graves Charitable Foundation towards renovation with the help and support of trustees, members of the congregation and neighbours who have formed a Working Group which meets regularly.
Anyone can be part of this group which has lots of energy and skills. We will be needing more funds for internal work. Work will begin in late July or August. All will be done with due regard to the safety of Chapel users.
.
Plans for Re-opening
From Monday 17[th] May activities can reopen.
Tai Chi
A new Tai Chi Class will start on Monday 7[th] June in the morning and will pay £15 per hour for use of the schoolroom. The tutor is known to JP.
PR would like to restart the Monday Tea Time Club for 8 – 12s if there is enough support from parent volunteers.
Chairobics
will start from Tuesday 18[th] May 9..45am – 10.45. We are planning for 10 participants but Matt will check and confirm number permitted. RF and PR to support.
The session leader Steve Thew has increased his fee to £25 per hour so we are suggesting an increase to participants to £2.50 to cover the fee. We will serve coffee to participants after the session.
Coffee Morning
We will wait until June 21[st] before restarting which will run from 11am with 15 minute break to set up tables. We will not be serving lunch until another helper is recruited from Chairobics. RF and MWd plus ANOther.

Toddlers
Has been running since Easter and is well attended. The covered outside space created by the awning has been useful.
Knit and Natter
Has been meeting outside in members’ gardens or in Chapel Garden. Will move inside as restrictions allow.
Mindfulness
Kathryn Rogers who leads these sessions as a volunteer, hopes to restart on Thursdays from June 21[st] .
Sundays
We are already open for our own Worship and will continue to transmit via Zoom.
We are immensely grateful to all who have supported us through this difficult time. Thank you.
