er Festival
Our 9, Annual Beer Festival was held In May 2024 and was welcomed with enthusiasm by the local communlty.
The Annual Beer & Music festTval took place during May 2024. The two-day event was very successful, and well received, wrth a
constant flow of people from when the door5 Qpened until closing on both days. More ale and cider were purchased pre-event
compared to any of the previous event5. and by 7pm on the second day all stock had been consumed, resultin8 In the purchasin8 of
bottled & canned stock from several establishments to accompany the mu5i¢al acts.
11 musical act5 performed over the two days and a total of 994 persons attended this yearf5 event,1418 on Friday & 576 on
Saturday), compared to 646 footfall last year. The event was supported over the two days by 48 member5 of staff, all volunteers
made up from members of the church and local community. The event benefitted from urilising some remaining stock items from
the previous year, Cooling Jackets & associated pipework, turrbler5, & entrance wristbands. Total expenditure loutlayl was
£6,883.06 comprising of.. Goods IAle etc.). Musicians, and purchasin8 of additional equipment. Total net income (gross revenue
minus expenditure) £11390.73. This is the most successful return to date, pre-event sponsorship and donations1£300013ddin8 to
the net income whilst going a long way to mitigate the risk In case of a poor turnout.
The formula for this annual event is pretty much set in stone with only minor adju51mènt5 being made to ensure the event runs
Smoothly. The event continues to go from strength to strength. with the two-day festival being one of the rnain fund-raising events
of the year. Looking forward to 2025, the 10th festlval, Initlal outlay will be higher as fresh stock of tumbler5 & wristbands will need
to be purchased, however if the event runs as it has done for the previous nine, there Is no reason why the next one won't be equally
successful.

Re
Church Fabric Re
ort 2024
2024 has been quite an eventful year in teims of church breakdowns and failure5-
Electrlcal Wlrln
During a Burn'5 night event held in church in late january. the main electrical circuit breaker tripped out. An electrical contractor
carried out a full investigative inspection for us and recommended that the church's 50 year old fuse boards be replaced with
rnodern ones that benefit from enhanced over current protection. Thi5 recommendation wa5 accepted by the PCC and the new
fuse boards were installed In the subsequent weeks.
HÈatin
There were some reports in the spring that the church had seemed colder than usual, but with the onset of the warmer summer
weather. the underlying root cause went undetected. In late summer, the central heating controller developed a fault and, due to
the part beinB now obsolete, a new type of controller was fitted. This new device communicates wirelessly with the in-church
ternpeiature sen5c>r, permitting it to be 51ted more flexibly. and also it can interface with our broadband WiFi allowing the heating
System to be controlled remotely via a phone App.
The work on the heating system controller uncovered two further church system failures. Firstly. one of our two central heating
boilers had developed 8 fault with its power supply, which needed to be replaced with a new part- probably explaining the earlier
reported Issues of inadequate heating in the spring. and secondly. the microwave Itnk that biinÈs broadband WiFi from the church
office into the church had completely falled.
Audio S stem
As the WiFi link is part of the church audio system supplied by API Limited, they were called in to resolve the issue and conduct
full 5yStem health check. Whilst we were covered for the microwave Ilnk fallure by the existlng installation guarantee, it was
deemed prudent to put in place an additional service contract with API to safeguard us against fvture issues with
the system.
The double gates on the church Lychgate had deteriorated to the point where two new repl3￿ment gates had to be
commi55ioned. At the same time. the whole Lychgate structure wa5 given a fresh coat of preservative paint.
Work In Pro
ress
Weathervane.. Following a report of the poor state of our roof top weathervane by our Bell tower captain, it was revealèd that the
wooden support pillar had Significant evidence of rot. The ironwork has lost some of its scroll work and the vane itself needs
regilding. A quotation for complete restoration of the weathervane has been retèived and further quotes are being
sought.
Church roof: Water ingress at the back of the Nave was noticed on one occasion during a particularly severe storm. A subsequent
visual inspection revealed several tiles missinglbroken. Quotations for remedial work will be sought for these in the near future.
General Malntenance.. Grateful thanks to Chris C and Paul J for their continued support of general maintenance issues.
particularly for their efforts each month in the churchyard.

2024 was the busiest year yet for our Church Centre. The buildin8 ha5 become a real community hub where people of all ages feel
welcome and supportive friendships have been made. Without a lar8e band of volunteer5, which we appreciate very much, we
could not run some of the wide varlety of actlvities which are on offer. The Centre is now used every day by variou5 groups from
all age groups.
On a Monday we have Cosy Café which has provided a warm space and free meals for up to 60 people. Later in the day there is a
class for those who love ballroom dancing. The ballroom classes have become 50 popular with wedding couples this year that
extra classes were put on for them. Every week on a Tuesday morning sees an exercise class for the over 60,5 and then following
thi5 each fortnight there is a flower arranging group. Once a month flower club meet in the evening.
The Cenlre has provided a welcoming place this year for the teaching of Engllsh on a Wednesday morning and afternoon to
Afghan Refugees, funded by the Home Office. In the evening sees another exercise group "Menofit" although on some
Wednesday's we also have-Reel Issues" where a film is shown followed by a meal. On Thursday morning in Term Time we have

Muslc
We started 2024 by invitin8 additional sinBers to sing at a choral evenson8 at the end of january 2024, it was suggested that this
could become a regular occurrence, however there have been no further Evensong5 at the time of writin8 this report. Part of the
reason for this is that some of the additional singers who gave up their winter evenings ro rehearse. felt that the service itself was
poorly attended. and have declined my invitation to do more.
l am working well with both the choir and the band. and rehearsals and service5 are regularly attended,. we have not
however had Anthony in the band lately due to work cornmitments with his new job. My thanks go lo all barMI members for their
hard work in their preparation and for enhancing our worship at these benefice services.
In May, we were joined by members of the scout EfOUP who assisted in leading some of the rnusic in our benefice
service,. this is something I would like to do again as it Is a means of introducin8 young people into worship.. the scouts who did
attend, enjoyed playing their part.
l started the year wlth 7 cholr members. however following rny absence from duty in September and October. some of them have
not rejoined. such that we are now down to 3.1 wish to thank Christine, Tri5h, Letsnie and Ronnie for their efforts and support thev
gave me during their time in the church choir. The choir will continue to meet regularly on Wednesday evenings and wlll work
hard to lead the hymn sin8in8 and in providing a Sung anthem each week.
Havlng learned a new setting of The Gloria, l intend to Introdu￿ other musical aspects of the new setting for the
Communion Serv1￿ to the congregation. By having another musical seltin& we Can switch durlng low and high seasons.
l a8ain invited 5in8ers from the community to join the choir to sing at the Carol Service, however because I was unable
to start rehearsa15 as early as I would have liked, many of the people who sang with us last year had already comrnitted to other
things. My thanks and appreciation go to those who did join us, and the music we presented was again well received by the
ongregation.
Moving forward, I feel that we need to work on recruitin8 more people from the local cornmunity into church. and from there,
there will be more opportunity to involve them regularly in the music side of worship.

An open meeting w3s held in July to receive a presentation on the Diocesan Strategy for 2024-
2030. The strategy is based on four principles
Be purposeful about evan8eli5m leading to numerical growth and depth of dlscipleship,
inspiring all to confidently share their faith story
Engage creatively with local communities.
Become more diverse at every level and in every way and in particular to
Grow younger
This was then broken down into 9 goals and the meeting split into groups to ¢onsider which three
goals fitted with current activities and which would be the most challenging. This was to be taken
back to the PCC for dls¢us510n.
In St. Marys the strength5 were in engaging with the local community, diverslty representing
community diversity and connection with the schools. Challenge5 were a culture of vocation,
training young people in leadership and the age profile reflecting the age profile of the community.
The other three goals, diversity in diocesan governance. increasing the number of disciples and the
formation of new worship communities were alsts considered to be challenging.
At the Deanery Synod In November. It was noted that the priorities and challenge5 were similar
around the parishes.

Cos Cafe
2024 has been a 8ood year for C05y Café despite facing some 5taffin8 challen8es toward5 the end of the year. A5 a friendship café
we have welcomed at least 1,276 people for meals with a further 30 or so calling in for drinks across the 44 week5 we were open
Inot everyweek has guest figures recorded). a weekly average of 36.4. Enormous thanks go to everyone who enables this to happen
on a weekly basis. To our cooks.. Sarah Jtsnes and Sue and Frank Aston who were instrumental in the early days but who have now
stepped away, to Patrick and GaynoT Richards, Sylvia and Paul Jones, Sam Potoek, Mandy Murphy and Josie Fisher and to our
helpers.. Siobahn and Louise Mclvor, Xander, Phil Murphy, and hosts-josie Fisher and Mandy Murphv.
At Christmas we all came together to cook a Christmas dinner for all the guests and staff. each chef cooking a different part of the
traditionèl meal or dessert. On this occasion we fèd 44 people plus staff and with setondsltakeaways we provided 70 mèa15. We
continue to reach out and en8age with new people appreaating the servite provided.
We do not charge for the meals but state that donations are welcome. As a result. we have become self-5ufficient in funding this
s¢hème. In 2024 running costs were £2442.21, donations received were £5,034.01 which left us with a profit of £2,459.62.
The increased use of the kitchen and success of Cosy Café, St. Marv5 Tea Room etc. ha5 led to a desire to have the kitchen
refurbished and made'fit for purpose, through the installation of a semi-professional kitchen. something we are hoping to
progre55 in 2025.

Reel Issues 2023-24
An initiative of the Bible Society, the agenda is to discuss life's big issues as they are treated in popular films and to see what the
Christian faith has to say about them. Everyone understands that thÈ discussion is Christian-led and will include Christian
perspectives. but there are opportunities for all members to share from per59n81 experlence and their individual perspectives. It's
an opportunity for friendships to grow and beliefs to be shared in an atrnosphere of respect and trust. Think dialogue rather than
traditional evan8eli5m. The aims are,.
lal To help Christians relate their faith to the stories and messages of popular films and
Ibl Find polnts of contact for conversation and faith-sharing among their friends.
At St. Mary Magdalene Church, Albrighton. Reel Issues takes place at least six times a year. although interest IS such that more
event5 are a distinct P055ibility. Attendance. at the time of writing IDecembeT 20241, is on the Increase.
Past seasons have included films a5 varied as, Yhe Great Escape￿. 'Wonder"
'Somewhere in Time", "On Golden Pond",
"Belfasf. -Minari" and 'The Holdover5- showTh uninterrupted in an envlronment as close as possible to a cinema experience.
At the tonclusion of the film, a two-course hot supper is served, usually to 40 or mere and this is followed by friendly and lively
discussion relating to Issues which have been highlighted by the storyline of each individual movie. No charge is made for Reel
Issues events, but participants are invited to donate towards the supper. The occasions are, therefore, self-supportin

The group is for all members of our community and offers the opportunity to share in the fellowship of others through an
enjoyment of music and singing. The group began around 18 months ago with a team of S volunteers to Tun it but unfortunatelv,
due to work commltments the team has reduced to just 3 volunteers.
It run5 on a Thursday afternoon from 1.30pm for an hour.. origTnally weekly but we have made the detTsion to continue term time
only as there are only the three volunteer5. The 8roup numbers have increased from around 10 members, when we first Started,
up to 26 at times with ages ranging from 9 months to 95 years of age. As there is no requirement for regular attendance then the
nurnbers fluctuate although we do have a strong core membership of regular5 and we average around 17 members per session.
Before we sing Sessions begin with a drink and cake/pastries and a time for everyone to chat together. Josie and Mandy organise
the refreshments for everyone and this part of the sesslon is greatly appreciated by all of the 8roup members. I have been
responsible for organising the music since February 2024.1 prefer to have a theme for each week and choose songs across the
decades and genres. The words to the songs are projected onto the large screen rather than being on photocopied sheets and are
Usually accompanied by mysèlf on the piano. Members also join in with idea5 for the weekly themes andlor songs to sing.
At Christmas (December 20241 a number of the group sang at the Carol Service at St. Cuthbert'5 Church and also went Carol

Rèsèrves Polsc
It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on free reserves Inet current assets) which equates to at least three months unrestricted
payments. This is equivalent to £35,9141£31,425 20231. It is held to smooth out fluctuation5 in cash flow and to meet emergencies.
The balance of the free reserve5 at the year-end was £50.0431£64,869 20231 and in addition there are free reserve investments of
£124.1151£118.087 20231, which is significantly higher than thls target. St Mary's have chosen to show reserves in a designated
fund. The balance of this fund is £40.￿OI£40,000 20231, which 15 higher than the target. In the uncertain economic climate, it is
felt to have a healthy reserve is a good foundation for the future and will allow the charity to explore different outreach if identified
and also be Secure of having sufficient reserves if called upon in any unforeseen circumstan¢es.
Investmènt Polic
The tharity is Eranted power to invest in suitable investments under the PCC Powers Measure 1956 and the Trustees Act 2000. A5
a chaTlty, the Trustees have a duly of care to take such advice as is appropriate bèfore investments are undertaken. This advice is
sought from the Central Board of Flnance ICCLAI In London.
The charitV'5 investment policies are based on two key prlnclples'.-
Ethical Investment- this includes ensuring that investments are held in companies which have hi8h Standards of corporate
governance and act in a responsible way towards stakeholder5.
Long-term responsibilities - the trustees are aware of their long-term responsibilities in respect of the Restricted and
Unrestricted re5erve5 and as a result follow a prudent approach to investment decisions.
Investment policy for long-term funds is aimed primarily at 8enerating a sustainable income. with due regard to the need for the
preservation of capital value, and the possible need to realise investments to meet operational needs. The charity does not have a
policy of generating income at excessive or hlgh rlsk- known as "purchasing income" where high returns are guaranteed at the
expense of capital.
In surnrnary, the charity has an overall policy to maximise income while preserving the real value of its funds. Due to the nature of
the charity, an ethical investment policy is taken into consideration when investments are made..
The charity follows the Ethical Investment Advisory policy as recommended by the Lichfield Diocese which includes the following..
e aim to invest in companies that..
will develop their business in the interests of shareholders;
* demonstrate responsible employment practices,.
are conscientious concernin8 issues of corporate eovernance, the environment and human rights,.
are sensitive to the comrnunity in which they operate."
Planned givin& collections and donations are the rnain sources of fund raising along with tax recoverable.
Safe uardin
The PCC believe they have fulfilled their duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 Iduty to have
