## Vicar’s Report
Welcome to the 2021 Annual Report. The year saw the country continuing to relax Covid regulations and slowly increase opportunities for us to be together in worship and fellowship. In the face of a global pandemic, it would have been easy to sit back and tick-over. Instead, we have found creative ways to live and share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Special thanks must go to the Covid sub-Committee for their work risk-assessing
2
what we can do, and also to the PCC for wanting to push forward. But I’m hugely grateful to everyone for your support during the year.
2021 will always be a special year for my family as we greeted the arrival of baby Peter in June– born on the same day as his sister Martha!
**Worship** . From January to the end of August, the benefice maintained a hybrid of in person, socially distanced worship, and livestreamed worship over Facebook. Holy Week and Easter again had to be observed mainly using online worship. The relaxation of rules meant that at the start of September we could move to all in-person worship.
Numbers slowly grew through the autumn and we briefly returned to pre-pandemic levels before the arrival of the omicron variant led to greater reluctance in attending indoor worship. That said, the numbers attending our Advent and Christmas numbers were comparable with pre-pandemic levels. Indeed, we recorded our highest attendance in memory for the St Illtyd’s Community Carol Service (125 people). The All Souls’ service was once again well attended, with several families of those whose funerals had taken place during the year attending.
October brought the reintroduction of a monthly Evensong at St Peter’s on the third Sunday of the month. For the first year, a programme focused on the Bible hero of visiting preachers has been put in place. It was a delight to welcome the Rev’d Mark Williams to open the series with Simeon, then Archdeacon Jonathan Davies in November, who chose Jonah.
**Mission** . Finding ways to share the Good News is the lifeblood of a church. Any church that decides to take a break from this most basic part of our faith is doomed to decline and closure. It was important to find new ways to meet our local community, and this was achieved.

The donkey trail moved to Ravenhill Park for Lent and more than 20 families got in touch to receive free gifts of a Bible Society Easter book and craft materials from the Benefice. For All Hallows Eve, we held a Light Party to try and start to change the narrative from all things evil and dark, to the light and love of God. Over 30 children came. The film night at St Illtyd’s in early December brought in some families from Cadle. But the amazing event was the Pop-Up Nativity organised with Swansea Community Farm. More than 15 volunteers helped put on a stational nativity play spread around the animal enclosures. The 4 performances on the Friday helped tell the nativity story to Cadle Primary School’s reception to year 2 classes. Then on the Saturday, the community performance brought in over 70 people, even in the rain! What is clear is that we need to continue seeking new ways to meet people where they want to be. There is a hunger to hear the Good News!
In February, the Benefice was able to partner with Samaritan’s Purse UK to deliver 10 Chromebook laptops to Gors School to distribute to families without any access to a computer. It was wonderful to hear of the opportunities this gave to families.
**Occasional offices** . During 2021 there were:
- 2 baptisms. Both baptisms were of adults who came to faith in the Benefice: Leon Evans and Jan Crathern.
- 25 funerals. 8 of these took place in St Peter’s, and 1 at St Illtyd’s.
- 10 weddings were celebrated, all at St Peter’s.
The wedding preparation morning was held virtually for 2021.
**Ministry** . The need to reach out and keep everyone involved was the priority for the first half of the year. The telephone tree and delivery of newsletters and reading sheets was important. As the Covid situation, not least the vaccination campaign, has allowed there has been the opportunity for some visiting and home communions to resume. What is clear is that there are more people who are now too infirm to return to worship and
4
meeting their spiritual needs requires careful consideration. What is also clear is that there are a number of people who have never returned to worship, often because of anxiety about Covid. Finding ways to build trust and provide support is going to be a challenge for 2022.
**Governance** . I’m grateful for the PCC that served up until the AGM, once again held in person and online, in April, and the new PCC. Under the stewardship of our PCC Lay Chair, Maureen Casagrande, the PCC has dealt with a number of pressing issues, and continues to face forward to the future. For a second year in a row, we held elections to the PCC, a great
May saw the introduction of the new Marriage Act, and with it the end of the Marriage Registers in our churches. Couples now sign a marriage document, which the Registrars turn into a marriage certificate. Several other changes came with it, many welcome. But the promise that this would be an easier system for clergy to negotiate seems as hollow a promise as the Brexit dividend!
I was delighted to have Ripon College Cuddeston ordinand Naomi Gardom on placement during July and August. Naomi proved to be exceptional and I was sorry when she departed! I know that Naomi very much enjoyed her placement and benefited greatly from it. Thank you to all who supported and encouraged her.
**The Rev’d Dr Jonathon Wright Vicar**

## PCC Report
Our year started with our PCC meetings still being held on Zoom. However, we all tried to make the best use of this technology and attendance was good.
January saw us applying for a faculty to install CCTV at St Illtyd’s Church. This was to ensure that we could monitor the carpark, entry to the Church Hall and the interior of the Church. Unfortunately, an update on the water ingress at St Illtyd’s showed that we would have to live with this problem as costs to rectify were far too excessive.
In our February meeting it was reported that the bell tower at St Illtyd’s was to be painted with a weather-proofing solution. Lead will be ordered for the bell step. These were felt to be the only alternatives to us and hopefully it will help with the situation. This work was carried out in March and straight away an improvement could be seen.
We had a few emergencies during the year. These included emergency repairs on the St Illtyd’s heating system. We also lost some trees at the Community Centre in the storm and these had to be felled. The toilet system in the Community Centre also caused problems with a blockage and had to be cleared. Welsh Water was called in and from the CCTV it was seen that the root system of the trees was the main issue with the sewer pipes. A plumber was also employed to install a new toilet and remove asbestos from the toilet system. It was great to see that all emergencies could be dealt with quickly.
After discussions with Time for God over a couple of months. We interviewed a candidate from Germany who had an excellent CV and was very keen to be a volunteer for our Parish. The interview was excellent. Unfortunately, as time went on it was realised that due to the Covid 19 pandemic our candidate would not be able to come over to us from Germany and we therefore
6
had to postpone this initiative. Hopefully we will be able to resurrect this once the pandemic is over!
The PCC also agreed to be included in the Eco Church initiative. The Church of Wales is committed to looking at how it runs with sustainability and it was unanimously agreed that this was a great initiative for both Churches. Derek Sheehan agreed to be champion for the benefice. By the end of the year, we had achieved a bronze award for St Peter’s Church.
The PCC agreed to a new look parish magazine. A magazine committee was put together to produce a quarterly magazine. The first magazine, a draft, was produced and distributed during the autumn.
A resurrection of the fund-raising committee was also suggested to the PCC and agreed. The committee’s proposed activities were to include afternoon tea; a Quiz; Bingo and Dessert; Big Draw in association with Cadle School; Light Party – Primary Age Party; One man Show by Alan Morris to include music and refreshments. These were carried out during the year.
September saw the first of our face-to-face PCC meetings. It had been such a long time for this to happen. It was wonderful for us all to be able to sit together to discuss and debate items. Our first meeting was in St Peter’s.
October was the start of monthly evensong. The theme for the first year would be ‘biblical heroes’. Different Preachers would be invited each month to preach on their biblical hero.
The PCC also agreed to an initial scoping of the possibility of installing a carpark at the community centre. A surveyor carried out an initial survey and everything is progressing well for this proposal.
After 6 long years Adele Cunningham decided to step down as Community Centre Manager. Grateful thanks were given to Adele for the sterling work she had done during her tenure. As no volunteers had come forward to replace Adele the PCC agreed to a job description to be advertised for a paid caretaker.
7
The PCC also put together a job description for a leader of the baby/toddler groups to be held in both St Peter’s and St Illtyd’s. An application was made to The Austin Bailey Foundation which is a Swansea based charity. 25% of its award grants are donated to churches to further the Christian faith. We had approval for a £2000 grant. This was done with a view to the group starting up in January 2022.
The PCC unanimously agreed to apply for a grant from the Mission Fund to hold two pop-up nativity events with Swansea Community Farm. The first will be on Friday 10[th] December, which will be for four groups of children from Cadle Primary School. The second will be a community evangelism event on Saturday 11[th] December.
This is an overview of the year. As you can see the PCC has had a very varied and full agenda to discuss and work with. I would like to give my thanks to everyone on the PCC for their attendance, dedication and commitment.

## Church Wardens’ Report
What another challenging year! due to the coronavirus. Using the Broadband at St Illtyd’s, Father Jonathon was able to continue the live stream services to who ever wanted to receive them. The services managed to touch people as far afield as the USA. The phone tree along with the weekly Newsletter managed to keep the Parish connected.
Sunday 11[th] April 2021 we were able to welcome Archbishop John Davies who was a month away from retiring to join us at St Illtyd’s to preach and celebrate on the live stream service.
8
The Easter Vestry was held in April and a new PCC was chosen. All out going officers were thanked for their service. It is hoped that the current PCC can build on the work already started by the previous PCC.
As the Community centres became available to use again as Covid restrictions lifted. Father Jonathon had to create Risk Assessments for each organisation who wanted to use the centres. This was an additional piece of time-consuming administration generated by Covid which Parishioners would not know about.
The month of June saw the happy arrival of Peter William Andrew Wright at the vicarage. Good news is always welcome after the strange times we have all experienced due to covid.
The last live stream service took place on 22/08/2021 as the Welsh Government announced a rule change which allowed gathered services again with social distancing.
Sunday 5[th] September became our “Welcome Home” service in each church as we restarted worship at St Peter’s, and moved towards the pattern of worship we enjoyed prior to Covid.
November saw the announcement that John Lomas was chosen as the 10[th] Bishop of Swansea and Brecon and we all hope that he will be gifted with wisdom to carry the Diocese forward in these challenging times.
Weddings and Funerals continued throughout 2021 with seating plans restricted numbers and names recorded. Sally said she “will not forget the Bride being 1/2 hr late or Finley 18 mths who drowned In the family duck pond”.
The popup Nativity at Swansea Community Farm was a great success and was well attended.
Other successful joyful events were The Big Draw Donkey Trails Light party and Christingle
Midnight Mass had a good turnout with candles decorations and Christmas tree the church was brightly shining once again.
9
As we enter 2022, we all hope that life will soon get back to normality in a safe way.

## St Peter’s Sub-Wardens’ Report
This year we continued to follow the rules and regulations of Covid, with significant concern for the health and safety of the congregation.
As Sub-Wardens we continued delivering the Benefice Family News letter until Sunday morning services resumed at the beginning of September in St Peters. All seating was organised in family bubbles, or as single seating, complying to social distancing and spacing. Hand sanitizers and masks were available on entry.
The fundraising committee met in early July, when a positive approach was planned beginning with a quiz and summer tea, followed by a bingo evening and concert at St Illtyds Hall. Not only were these events enjoyable, but realised a considerable boost to both Churches funds. We look forward to future events in the Spring and Summer.
In early November the Church provided an important collection for the Samaritans Purse.
Advent services were well supported as was the first Children’s Light Party.
A new edition of the Church Magazine will be available quarterly during the coming year.
10
Many thanks to the committed volunteers who give of their time so freely, not forgetting the meticulous cleaning regime, which continued through the pandemic.

## St Illtyd’s Sub-Warden Report
When lockdown came in March 2020, all church services were cancelled unfortunately, but thankfully we started back in August. It wasn’t quite the same, because many of the chairs in the Church were moved into the hall, to make way for the 2- meter distance and before attending church you had to phone to be sure that there was a seat available for you, because only a limited number of people were allowed in to attend the services. Also, we had to wear a mask and sanitise our hands, and we had to come in through the Church door and go out through the Hall door, there was no singing, but only said Eucharist. Later on, the midweek Eucharist was reintroduced. A few people have not returned to Church since lockdown restrictions have eased, but we have been fortunate in having new people join us on Sunday morning and on the Sunday when we have the All Age Eucharist we are joined by the cubs and scouts.
The back wall of the Church has been completed and the scaffolding taken down. The work still to be done is the pathway at the back of the hall. Alan Morris held a concert to raise funds for the Church. It was a successful evening and everyone enjoyed themselves.
By now we have started singing hymns again which is really lovely and we have the benefit of a grand piano given to us be Wilks the Music shop and in return they hold their exams in the Church. The carol Service held at Christmas was really
11
wonderful. The Cadle School Choir came and sang for us as well as soloists. We also had musicians from the cello group who played for us. Altogether it made the evening such an enjoyable one.
With the help of Derek Sheehan and the Eco Church team at St. illtyd’s, a plan has been put forward for managing the land. We intend to seed some of the grassed areas with wild flowers to encourage pollinating insects and wild-life. The team intends to start identifying suitable areas and start planting in March. We are grateful to members of the congregation who clean both the Church and the Church-hall, and those who provide flowers and decorate the Church for our services and festivals. We would also like to thank Danny who plays the piano at our Sunday morning service.

## Webmaster Report
As we slowly get back to some sort of normality there was slightly more to update this year than last year on our website. As our services went back to in person, I could advertise the times and locations rather than just sharing a link to our Facebook page where they were livestreamed. We also added our monthly services of all age and evensong to our services page.
As our Church Hall and Community Centre opened back up, I was able to update the information on many of our regular users and advertise the hire of the spaces again.
December saw a new page including the posters for all our events over Advent, this page will become visible again and updated with the easter programme when it is finalised.
What’s on ‘this week’ and ‘future events’ is also updated weekly as a reminder for everyone of what is currently going on within the parish timetable.
12
I have included a graph to show the trend in visitors (not visits) to our website from April 2021(the last Annual report date) to the end of January 2022.
Although no doubt our social media accounts are more popular, each month shows between 1100 and 1200 visitors for our website.

## Churchyard Report
Maintenance in the churchyard was again severely interrupted by the covid lockdown in the early part of the year and was then interrupted by a period of bad weather.
On return we found that bramble and fern growth had exploded and large areas had become inaccessible and the grass had also seemed to have grown a lot more than usual.
We have an excellent team in Roy, Colin, Les, Trevor and John and good progress was made to catch up with the maintenance and we are now getting back to extending the areas we maintain.
We were greatly helped by members of the Mormon Church who on several occasions formed a Saturday working party who made inroads by cutting the brambles and generally giving access to the grave areas.
We continue to work on Tuesdays and Saturdays weather permitting and welcome any volunteers who would like to join us

## Choir Report
It has been another remarkable year and thanks to the arrival of vaccines, church services have resumed and the choir has met for rehearsals and once again returned to the Chancel. It was wonderful to sing the Eucharist service again and commence Evensong.
While we are only a few in number the enthusiasm for singing is great and we would welcome new members, young and old alike. Ideally choristers should be at least seven years of age but there is no upper limit. Why not come along to choir practice and experience singing together, you can be assured of a good welcome.
Rehearsals are held on Saturday afternoon at one thirty during the winter months and during the summer months on Wednesday evening at six thirty and usually last one hour. We look forward to welcoming new choir members.

## St Peter’s Community Centre Report
The Community Centre reopened for bookings when Covid restrictions were lifted and vaccinations became readily available after Easter 2021.
However, risk assessments had to carried out and the necessary rules followed by all users of the facility. (Mask wearing, social distancing, separate entrance and exit and no kitchen usage). Saturday Birthday party bookings were banned and consequently the income generated was minimal.
By September things on the Covid front had improved and groups once again started to book the hall albeit following strict rules of access and egress etc.
The users included Dance groups, Bee keepers, Slimming groups, Yoga and Kung Fu and other occasional sessions with a
14
Gardening club and regular Sunday usage by the New Covenant Church.
A very successful “Light Party” as opposed to Halloween Party was hosted by Cockett Parish and advertised on social media and in the local schools. Over 35 children attended with their parents and enjoyed games/ crafts/ and storytelling and many new contacts were made.
All necessary repairs and replacements were carried out and plans for a much needed
Car park are at an early stage. The trees which border the land behind the Centre (the site of the proposed car park) suffered from storm damage and many were deemed unsafe by the Arborist – these have been cut down and removed from the site.
The PCC also agreed to employing a Caretaker to take on the tasks that had previously been undertaken voluntarily by Church members and the post was advertised accordingly with interviews early in Jan 2022.
## **Adele Cunningham**
## Parish Magazine Report
The Parish Magazine Committee met three times during the last year. The Committee included the Vicar, Mary Howard, Mary Millington, Margaret Lewis, Pat Hathaway, Sarah Picton and Maureen Casagrande.
We agreed that we would produce a quarterly magazine. This would be A4 in size and in full colour. The dates we would aim for publication were the 1[st] March; 1[st] June; 1[st] September and 1[st] December each year.
We also agreed that there would be 12 sheets (24 sides) and this would include 4 pages for advertisements. After a long discussion the standard content was agreed. The cost of the
15
magazine is £245 for 150 copies and the cost to purchase would be £2 per magazine.
The first published edition was brought out in November 2021.
## **Maureen Cassagrande**
## Thursday Club Report
The Ladies Thursday Club meet three times a month in the afternoon, the collective enthusiasm of the present committee has enabled us to gather safely within the rules of social distancing.
Our first meeting after the pandemic break was on October 4[th] , and we began with an A.G.M.
We enjoy a wide and varied programme, including music, history, literature, crafts and many more topic of interest, not forgetting evenings to the theatre and trips to places of interest.
We are a happy, friendly group and warmly welcome lapsed and new members.
Why not join us for a cup of tea and lots of friendship.
## **Mary Howard.**
## Mothers’ Union Report
Once we were unable to commence our again, monthly meetings in January due to the pandemic although members kept in touch to ensure all were safe and well. Even though we were unable to meet thanks go to Joan Harris who arranged the Wave of Prayer hour in February so that members could participate at home.
October 7[th] was our first meeting after lockdown which was a Eucharist Service, celebrated by our former Vicar Rev. Mark
16
Williams who has returned to live in the Parish after his retirement. Risk assessments had been undertaken and social distancing was adhered to as well as the wearing of masks. We welcomed back Doreen Evans who was presented with flowers and chocolates for her excellent service as Branch Leader.
Our speaker on November 4[th] was Ailsa Howell who gave us some insight into the Diocese involvement with the “Safe Houses” project which we continue to support with donations of toiletries.
Barbara Roberts was our speaker in December who presented an interesting talk on the life of Ivor Novello and played us a few of his songs. An enjoyable afternoon ended with refreshments of Christmas cake and mince pies.
Sadly, in October we have said goodbye to our longest serving member Marion Williams who peacefully died at the age of 103. Marion was a devout member of Mothers’ Union who with her true Faith died content in the sure and certain hope of meeting our Lord.
We look forward to being able to meet again in 2022, 2.30pm on the first Thursday of the month. Our first meeting is arranged for 3[rd] February and new members welcomed.
## **Doreen Boor**
## St Illtyd’s Ladies Guild
Our guild started around 54 years ago, it isn’t only for church members, but for any ladies who wish to join in our meetings. Just before lockdown in March 2020 our numbers attending our meetings had gone down a lot.
17
In November 2021 we had a meeting to discuss the future of our Ladies Guild. After a lot of discussion, no decision was made, but we decided to leave things for the time being and have another meeting in January.
In January 2022 we met again and decided instead of meeting weekly we would meet once a month, on the first Wednesday of each month, but we would not meet in the month of August.
To open our meeting, we all say together our guild prayer. _‘O God our Father, teach us to find thy joy in our companionship, and in its finding may we learn more and more of thy undying love for all people’._ We then have a speaker or someone to entertain us, or a quiz and to finish up a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits and a time to have a chat.
We would love to welcome new people to our guild. So, we will just keep praying and hope to have more ladies joining us.

## Keys’ Club Report
Last year proved to be an exceptionally challenging time for us all, as restrictions on public gatherings during the coronavirus pandemic resulted in us having to cancel the latter part of our
18
2020/21 programme, including, our AGM and our trip to the Museum of the Royal Welsh in Brecon.
During our period of inactivity, we were saddened to learn that our friend and long-standing club member Gordon Fair had passed away in a Tenby Nursing Home. In the light of our inability to elect officers for the forthcoming year, it was decided that those in post should carry on until new elections could take place. It was with an air of optimism that the committee met in July to put together the 2021/22 programme of speakers and activities. However, we were stunned by the news that owing to the ill health of his wife, our Programme Secretary Roy Harris was stepping down from his post. We are most grateful to Roy for his service and the meticulous way he carried out his role and we hope that his wife Joan is blessed with improved health.
Thankfully, with the easing of restrictions and with Richard Nedin stepping into Roy’s place, we were able to recommence meetings in September when our President Jonathon officiated at our traditional Holy Eucharist held at St. Peter’s following which we adjourned for a fish and chip supper at the Sketty Club.
In October, members enjoyed a Quiz Night organised by Richard Nedin which was great fun and which ended in a very tight, high scoring finish between the teams. Local historian Gerald Gabb visited us in November and took us on a journey around wellknown and long forgotten thoroughfares of our city. In December, we held our Christmas Dinner at the Sketty Club where the function room looked a real treat, as with all the fairy lights it was extremely festive and was an ideal setting for our Christmas celebrations. Our new freelance chef Karen provided an excellent meal which was exceptional value for money and our thanks to Richard Nedin for making all the arrangements.
Looking forward to a less challenging 2022.

Christmas Savings Club
19
A local butcher’s wife Mrs Maggie Phillips collected money for Christmas poultry from her customers. She deposited the money at the Saron Chapel Christmas Club who then benefitted from the interest earned. “You could do that for your Church” she suggested to Pat and Norman, and the rest is history. Over the years the church gained form the considerable interest accrued.
Sadly, Pat has decided to discontinue the savings club due to the poor financial situation, which has resulted in such negligible interest rates. Hoping that all regular Church savers will understand, and no be disappointed Many thanks to Pat for her diligence and hard work over the years.
## **Mary Howard**
This year 13p and £56 joining fee were paid into the accumulated interest account. This money is kept for anything special the church might need other than day to day running of same.
This year we purchased:
Christian Books £243.82 Towards gift from both churches £80 To Start Fair Trade £100 **£423.82**
The balance of the account now stands at £580.61
Unfortunately, it is not viable to continue with the Christmas Bank as interest is non-existent, and with branches closing, it is difficulty to pay monies in.
When interest rates were high, the Church benefitted, and many items were purchased including, Carpet, Kitchen Units China, Books, Choir Robes, Curtains, A runner for the Lady Chapel and a Holy Water Sprinkler.
Thank you to everyone who has supported this venture over many years, as without your savings earning interest, the above items would have had to have come from Church Funds, which we could ill afford.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Christmas Savings project.

## Parents/Carers and Baby Groups
There are two toddler groups that run at Cockett Parish. One is in St.Peter's community hall, the other is at St.Illtyd's church hall both on two different days a week. Both groups are very similar just in different locations. The aim of each group is to reach out to the local community and be a listening ear to parents/carers alike. Both groups have toys appropriate to the ages of the children/babies who attend.
On the Tuesday one, I have the wonderful Sian help me and she does a craft appropriate to whatever season we're in with the children.
Parents/carers bring their child/ren along and enjoy a cuppa and the children are free to play for the two hours. Towards the end of each group, I gather everyone to a mat to do songs, then a parachute and finally bubbles to wrap up the session. Both groups are a joy to run as we get to meet a variety of people from all sorts of backgrounds. During the pandemic we were unable to keep going, but as of June last year when we restarted, we've been thriving again which is fantastic.
The cost of each session to the parent/carer is an affordable £1.50 per family. For those who cannot afford this, I just let them come for free for which they are very grateful indeed.
We re-started in June 2021 which was a very difficult time as we were in the pandemic. With restrictions in place such a social distancing, mask wearing and limited numbers, it was a logistical nightmare. I spent the best part of four hours taking every toy out of the cupboard and cleaning every single piece of stickle brick, jigsaw, book that we had ready to re-open. There was the obligatory risk assessment too. The re-opening was met with absolute joy from everyone (about 45!) that turned up on the first morning. People were so grateful and happy that they could bring their child somewhere to see other children and parents/carers could meet other parent/carers too.
The toddler group was incredibly busy for a while but it's settled down now as other places have started to re-open in other settings and schools.
21
It's been a very trying time for everyone but absolutely worth it to see children's and parents faces alike smile as they see other new faces for the first time.

## Befrienders’ Café and Art Group
Having had to make tremendous adjustments during the last 2 years, we are now due to celebrate our third anniversary on 13th May, this year. Our return on 14th June 2021 was a joyful reunion as we could finally meet up in 3D! The risk assessment done, it necessitated more changes and caution in areas we had previously taken for granted. Now we were no longer allowed to share brushes, pencils, paints etc. under the new Covid rules and everyone had to buy their own equipment. All the original members returned and were quickly joined by others, filling the vestry to capacity (following the Covid seating restrictions), at St Peter’s. In view of this a new group has been started at St Illtyds on Wednesdays from noon until 2o’clock. It has been slow to start, with three members to date, but I am hopeful that this will soon grow in a similar way to St Peter’s.
Whilst arranging this new group, a name change was suggested and in October this was adopted. Both groups are now known as the Befrienders Cafe and Art group. The group has grown in skills and experience with drawing, painting, art discussions and art history. We have studied local and international artists and drawn inspiration from their works. We still keep to our starting each meeting with tea, coffee and homemade cakes.
The support that is freely given to all the members, whatever the difficulties experienced is very apparent within the group. The online contact remains active, with all contributing to any discussions or requests for advice. As we had done prior to lockdown, the group took it on themselves to decorate both the churches for Remembrance Sunday, recycling old plastic bottles to make poppies. Several people complimented the displays we
22
made. As it was so successful, we look forward to doing it again in the coming year.
Finally, we decorated St Peter’s for Christmas making Christmas wreaths for the pews, which were also very successful. We are all looking forward to celebrating the third anniversary of our inception and keeping the support for each other alive and well. After all, we survived the Pandemic intact as a group!

## Parish 100 Club
2021 has been another successful year for this important area of fundraising for our two churches, however, although we gained some new members, the passing of some of our faithful supporters resulted a slight dip in membership from the previous year from 237 to 233 members.
Following our inability to hold functions in 2020 we welcomed the return of our annual Fish & Chip Supper and Grand Christmas Draw held in Cockett Community Centre where back by popular demand, we were entertained by the talented pianist and singer Jonathon Lycett who once again regaled us with a variety of songs, as well as jokes and funny stories, with the occasion adding a healthy £264.00 to 100 Club funds.
Thankfully, our efforts over the year were once again financially successful, resulting in a profit of £2,004.00 to bolster the funds of St. Peter’s and St. Illtyd’s.
We wish to record our thanks to those church members who pitched in and helped make our Christmas event such a success. Special thanks to those members of both churches together with their families and friends for their unstinting and loyal support for the 100 Club, we are most grateful to you all.

## Self-Denial Box
The Self Denial Box supports a different charity each month. This year, £959.30 was raised and given to the following charities:
Stroke Association £440 Toilet Twinning £120 Swansea Women’s Aid £51.50 £347.8 Christian Aid 0 £959.3 0 We also sent to Barnabas Fund £11 £92.7 Ty Hafan 7
These are ongoing charities which we send to every year. Jars for contributions to these charities are at the back of the church.
Contributions for Ty Hafan are down this year due to Covid, resulting in smaller congregations. We hope that next year will
24
be better, and thank you to everyone who has contributed to this deserving cause.
Ty Hafan is totally funded by charitable giving, and needs three million plus each year to maintain and fund this very important service for parents and families when a child has cancer. Please continue to support this charity.

## Operation Christmas Child
Once again in 2021, the Parish of Cockett participated in Operation Christmas Child and increased our commitment by agreeing to St. Peter’s acting as a Collection Centre for the west of Swansea.
There were fears that because of the global pandemic, the number of boxes donated would be significantly lower than in previous years, resulting in thousands of impoverished children not experiencing the joy of receiving Christmas presents.
To maximise our contribution to the total of shoeboxes we dispatched, we provided a shoebox packing service for those church members, who, because of the restrictions, were unable to go shopping as often as they would wish, and this proved to be remarkably successful.
Our sincere thanks to those volunteers who staffed the church over the eight days we were open for the public to drop off their shoe boxes and a massive thank you to those members of the congregations of St. Peter’s and St. Illtyd’s who so generously supported Operation Christmas Child once again.
Our efforts were tremendously successful in that we were able to send off a magnificent **186** shoe boxes from the Parish together with **130** shoe boxes that were collected from the general public, making an overall total of **316** boxes. Thank you also to
25
those who purchased bobble hats and mittens for their boxes kindly knitted by Anne Hammacott, Joan Harris and Dorothy Macken which enabled us to send a donation of £110 towards the work of Operation Christmas Child and a donate a further £287.50 towards church funds.
We have been informed that our shoeboxes were amongst **75,463** sent to children in Central Asia from the UK, helping to build goodwill between people of different faiths. However, because of the political and religious sensitivities in some areas, Operation Christmas Child’s ministry partners working in the region have asked us to withhold the exact destination of our boxes to safeguard their wellbeing and we are happy to respect their wishes.
