2. Structure, governance and management

Administration is the responsibility of the Priest-in-charge; Rev. George Pitcher (non-stipendiary priest) together with the Churchwardens and Parochial Church Council (PCC) following the relevant legislation and the Canon Law of the Church of England,and working under the authority of the Bishops of the Diocese. The Churchwardens and Parish Administrator are given responsibility for the day to day administration, good order and diary management of the parish. Applications and administration for baptisms is passed to the Rector and for Weddings and Funerals to the Pastoral team. The parish is in the diocese of Chichester and the Episcopal Area of Lewes and Hastings.

i) How the PCC is constituted

The PCC and Churchwardens are elected under the terms of the Church Representation Rules 2006 (Schedule 3 to the Synodical Government Measure 1969 as amended by Statutory Instrument 2004 No 1889.)

The Priest-in-charge serves under licence from the Bishop; Churchwardens and Deanery and Diocesan Synod delegates are the subject of separate elections to their posts. All of these then serve on the PCC ex officio .

2

Churchwardens are elected annually, and lay members of the Deanery Synod for a three year term. The appropriate number of members of the church are also elected for a three year term with 1/3 standing down each year, but being eligible for re-election. The electorate comprises those persons on the Electoral Roll; all church members are encouraged to register and to consider standing for election to the PCC.

Co-opted Members

Mrs Penelope Mayfield was appointed as Secretary at the Annual Meeting in 2020 and was in attendance at the PCC meetings prior to this and thereafter

iii) Committees of the PCC

The PCC’s Standing Committee, which is the only committee required by law, has the power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings subject to any directions given by the Council. This consists of the Priest-in-charge, the Churchwardens, the Secretary, the Treasurer and one member from the PCC. A finance sub-committee monitors the income and expenditure of the PCC. The Priest-incharge together with the Churchwardens and other members form a 20/20 Vision Group that incorporates a Fabric committee to oversee the stewardship of the church buildings and fabric. Other groups who operate under the authority and directions of the PCC have their activities summarised in the appendices to this document.

iv) Induction and training of PCC Members

All members of the PCC have their duties and responsibilities explained to them including their duty of care and the implications of the Charities Act 2006 and SORP 2005. This also includes Safeguarding issues. They are regularly updated on changes to rules, regulations and law.

3. Objectives and activities

i) Primary Objective

The primary objective of the Parish of Waldron is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The PCC has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, Rev. George Pitcher, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

4. Achievements and performance

i) Church attendance and electoral roll totals

There are currently 116 entries on the Church Electoral Roll of which 30 relate to people not currently residing within the parish (March 2021 revision) (116 in March 2019). The average Sunday attendance was 48 (63 in 2019)

n.b. calculated by adding all of the Sunday only worshippers EXCEPT Easter Sunday and dividing by 35 ( the weeks when a congregation could attend)

72 came to Church over Christmas , plus 3 children. (412 and 64 in 2019) Covid restrictions applied) No worshippers attended the Easter Sunday Services

N.B. Church attendance was severely affected by the effects of the Covid 10 pandemic which required that congregations should not attend for parts of the year and also meant that many parishioners needed to self-isolate. It is understood that a good number of parishioners joined the live streamed services each Sunday during the year

ii) PCC Meetings

The PCC met on 4 occasions in 2020 –, 14th February, ,11th September,18[th] October and 11[th] December. Attendance as recorded in the minutes.

iii) Review of Activities

During the course of the year, the PCC :-

Continued in its efforts to fully integrate the congregations of the two churches and, noticeably, newer members readily accept the use of both churches as a regular occurrence, which is evidence of good progress in this area. In the absence of church services, strenuous efforts were made to maintain contact via telephone calling and other technical options.

The pandemic restrictions meant that virtually all weddings scheduled for the year had to be postponed or cancelled, although we did manage to squeeze a couple in subject to limited numbers attending.

Following receipt of the various approvals for our new building at St Bartholomew’s, we appointed a firm of contractors, John Farrington & Sons Ltd, after having carried out some research on their capabilities. This process took some time, but contracts were signed with work to commence in mid November. Although costs have risen quite significantly we remain confident that we can bring this project to fruition as we seek to grow our congregation by appealing to a wider community and integrate better with our C of E school. Consideration is to be given to further fundraising as we go into 2021 and in the light of ongoing Covid -19 restrictions

We continued to recognise and appreciate the ongoing support of the Friends under the chairmanship of Tim Williams. The financial support of the Friends is invaluable and the PCC were most grateful to accept £50,000 from the Friends during the year to support the project at ST. Bartholomew’s.

4

We have endeavoured to maintain and develop an active working relationship with the local Cof E school where we have a representation on the Board of Governors and our Priest in Charge makes regular visits as and when allowed, due to Covid -19 restrictions.

5. Rector’s Review 2020

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance…

Ecclesiastes 3 1, 3b-5

“But a SWAT team is trained to kill people,” Sean Dexter told me – and, as a military man, he should know. We were talking a couple of months ago about our plans for coming out of lockdown. I’d invited him to join our action team for covid recovery planning – an invitation I’m glad to say he accepted and, along with others, has made an enormous contribution – and I’d called that group our SWAT team.

It’s now been absorbed into our ministry team, but I didn’t change it’s name. SWAT stands for “special weapons and tactics” and, while indeed such teams are elite law enforcement units that defend us from violent threats, I believe that we’ve been using the special weapons and tactics of God the Holy Spirit to defend ourselves from the violent threat to our churches and community from the coronavirus.

Last year, I wrote here in assurance that we would get through this, that we would address the financial knock our parish was taking from lockdown and our flesh-and-blood members of the Body of Christ would renew and restore us.

Let’s rejoice that our faith in that has been fulfilled. The fruits of our SWAT team – and many others besides – are appearing this spring and in our immediate future. As we edge out of lockdown, the Body of Christ in our community has put together an inspiring programme of activities and renewal as we come together again in love and fellowship.

We look forward to a Church Fete at Culverwood on July 3[rd] , to our outdoor Lammas service on August 1[st] , to “Beating the Bounds” in Rogationtide, to the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Community Gardens in Waldron and at St Bart’s, to a Day at The Races, to the Vicar v. Village cricket match on the Cattam on August 7[th] , to a Ten-Pin Bowling trip to Hailsham… and much else besides.

5

And, of course, we look forward to opening our beautiful new fellowship rooms at St Bart’s. Bishop Martin of Chichester will be coming for our patronal festival for St Bartholomew on Sunday August 22[nd] formally to open and bless our new building and we’ll raise a glass and feast in it in celebration that day.

It really is a miracle that we’ve brought in this project during one of the most difficult periods of our churches’ recent history. And our thanks go to all, especially Ian Dixon, for such hard work in making that happen – hard work, but fruitful indeed.

That building project has of course taken its financial toll on us (please Buy A Brick, another SWAT initiative, details on our website, if you haven’t already done so!) and is part of the reason our “swatters” have been busy planning such a programme of fund-raising events.

But it’s not just about fund-raising. We’ve come through a very difficult year, during which we’ve been isolated, atomised, separated and fractured as a community in Christ. The occasions that we’ve spent time organising during this crisis are evidence of our resilience and our desire for restoration.

We hunkered down during a very tough year. We have lost friends and loved ones and we mourn them and commend them to God’s eternal love and care. But we have also dug deep, knowing that however deep the pit of loss, darkness and despair, God’s love is deeper still.

So we’re not just putting the past year behind us and forgetting about it. We’re going to build on it – literally and symbolically – by stepping out of it with what we’ve learned about ourselves and each other, restored and resolved to serve in the life of the Holy Spirit in the midst of the world.

As the Book of Ecclesiastes reminds us: “There is a time to mourn and a time to dance...” Let’s resolve to laugh and dance when we can.

The Rev’d George Pitcher

6. Churchwardens’ Annual Report – 2020

Well, what a year 2020 proved to be! We entered the year in the knowledge that we had obtained the planning permission for the new building at St. Bartholomew’s and were looking forward to an early start to take advantage of the summer weather.

The Friends had organised the wonderful production of Aladdin in Waldrjin to entertain us all and, not insignificantly, to raise substantial funds to support the church maintenance and improvements

However, as we all know, the optimism of January and February was swiftly dampened by news of the Covid -19 Virus and, of course, as the year progressed the effect of this pandemic was felt more and more acutely.

Restrictions on church worship came into effect in March 2020 and our Mothering Day service was the first to be cancelled as we went into “lockdown”. Our Easter services had to be cancelled and so it went on through until July when eventually, we were allowed to meet as a congregation subject to stringent guidance on “protection”. Whilst this looked like the start of the way back to “normal”, we were again compelled to honour a local “lockdown” which again closed our churches from early November through to early December.

However, this scenario served to give rise to a determination to continue to provide services in whatever way we could. Two significant examples of this were the Lammas service on the Cattam which was arranged as a “drive in” event and which was well supported, and our Remembrance Day Service held outside around the War Memorial in Waldron, again, well attended. We even managed to have two weddings during a brief “window” in restrictions.

6

Fortunately, the lifting of restrictions in December, meant that we could somewhat hurriedly begin to organise our Christmas arrangements. We were able to enjoy carol singing in the All Saints churchyard on the Sunday before Christmas and again on Christmas Day even though the temperature was just above freezing!

At these and as at all of our services, we managed to maintain the required social distancing and hygiene requirements with the ongoing use of face coverings and hand sanitiser! In between services, it was often necessary to wipe all surfaces that might have been touched in order to comply with the requirements.

We have managed to live stream a service each week from our churches and this has been of great value to those who have been unable to join us. Our thanks to Andy Delves for mastering the technical requirements and to Di Steele for her continued back up and support.

We continue to alternate our services between both churches and to pursue our efforts to integrate both congregations. Whilst there remains work to be done, progress is being made and many newer members of our congregation happily accept the “rota” system.

None of the above would have been possible without ongoing support from a good number of people and we take this opportunity to thank our priest in charge, George Pitcher, for his continued commitment to the work of our Parish and his ongoing support to our Church of England School, all of which continues on an unpaid basis. We also thank Canon Lucy Murdoch who, though retired, continues to prove a tremendous support to our Ministry team. We are also grateful to Rev. Simon Hobbs, as an occasional minister, but also as a superb organist. Unfortunately, our Readers, Richard Maylam and Tim Hough, were both in the “vulnerable” category and were obliged to withdraw from church activities for the major part of the year. We are delighted to have Andy Delves as part of the ministry team as he continues his training to become a Lay Reader. We also want to say a thank you to Mary Everett who has attended our 8.00am communion services without fail and prepares the churches for us. This really is appreciated. We thank them all for everything they bring to our services.

As ever, this report also provides an opportunity to record our thanks to all those who have contributed to the work of the church throughout the year. In such a challenging time we have had to manage from week to week, but support has always been forthcoming when required.

In particular, we are very grateful to our band of clockwinders who have attended throughout and kept the village “on time”! Additionally, due to the creative support of Chris Hinman, the bells of All Saints have continued to ring out on a Sunday, albeit electronically!

Flowers continued to appear when our churches were open, so thank you flower ladies,

Singing in church was an early casualty of lockdown so our choir have been “stood down” although they continue to appear at our services, when possible to add moral support.

We can not fail to mention the support that we receive from Peter Lawrence in the organ playing at our services. This is all provided voluntarily and with a cheerful demeanour; many thanks, Peter.

We also owe a big thankyou to the Friends of Waldron Churches for the immense contribution they bring to our village community through their activities which, of course, were curtailed due to the pandemic. However, they did transfer £50,000 to our St. Bart’s new building project which effectively meant that we could go ahead with our plans.

Much of the above relates to matters which were a little frustrating and inconvenient, but we are mindful that the year was a cause for significantly more sadness for many. Within our own community, we have to mention the loss of Anne Brine after a long battle with illness. Her significant and valued contribution as Secretary of the PCC over a number of years when she had significant personal health issues was immensely appreciated by us all and we miss her greatly. We are thankful to Penelope Mayfield for stepping into the breach.

Current and future fabric refurbishment plans for our two churches.

1) All Saints

The Quinquennial Inspection was carried out late in 2019 and this has identified areas which we need to keep an eye on. Some minor matters required fairly swift attention and these have been attended to; we continue to monitor our elderly church to ensure that it remains in good order. We were obliged to replace a leaded light window in the west end of the church following strong winds, but, thankfully, nothing else too serious has cropped up! Once the project at St Bart’s is concluded, our attention will turn to maintenance at All Saints as well as the potential to develop our facilities there.

2) St Bartholomew’s

a) Building work

Having obtained the Faculty and Planning permission to commence work on the project, we started the process of going out to tender in the spring of 2020. This process inevitably takes time, but after careful consideration, the contract was awarded to John Farrington & Sons Ltd of Hailsham and work duly commenced in November 2020.

We again record our appreciation of the input and support received from Ray James who is a retired architect in our congregation and who is familiar with church projects as well as Gill Roles who has been a stalwart supporter of our efforts in many ways. Additionally, we acknowledge the financial support from Arthur & Rosemary Kay as we progressed matters.

b) Altar frontals/kneelers

Our dedicated band of “stitchers” who were working to create new kneelers, using Polly Meynell’s designs had their progress restricted by the pandemic. However, the painstaking task is making progress and we look forward to seeing the end results in due course.

Ian Dixon Sarah Mackenzie

7. Financial Review and ongoing plans

Our financial year ended with a modest shortfall in “normal” income against “normal” expenditure of approximately £2,200 due in the main to the significant impact of the coronavirus pandemic on church services and, of course on collections. which were some £4,000 less than in 2019. Additionally, our inability to conduct weddings also affected our income adversely. Tax recoveries for Gift Aid and VAT were also significantly lower than in 2019.. We have been extremely grateful for the contributions made through the Parish Giving Scheme which has helped us to minimise the shortfall. We were also helped by an extra donation of £2,000 from the Waldron 800 Trust during the latter part of the year. I can not emphasise enough the value of the Parish Giving Scheme which delivers regular monthly income together with ongoing tax recoveries

The effect of the pandemic was also felt on our investments which declined in value during the year although we have started to see a recovery there which will assist as we shall be drawing down on these assets through 2021 to cover our building costs.

We were, however, blessed with significant donations to the St. Bartholomew’s Building Project which finally got under way towards the end of 2020.

8

These donations more than covered the initial professional expenses that were being incurred and, indeed, the excess meant that we were able to finish the year with a net gain in resources of some £26,000.

Although our resources appear quite significant, this, of course is due to the delays in getting our new building project under way and, during 2021 we shall see the figures greatly eroded. On the face of it, we are likely to see most of our assets used up, apart from restricted assets and designated funds. As a consequence, we shall be looking to continue our fund raising efforts in order that we do not deplete the parish finances to an unacceptable level. It is to be hoped that an easing of restrictions will enable us to gather together again for events and this should make an impact on the overall situation.

The contract cost for the new build is £442,000 and there will be professional expenses to cover as well..

It should be noted that, of the total assets, the “tangible” assets which we could draw upon amounted to approximately £463,000.

Whilst we anticipated that 2020 would be quite demanding we could not foretell the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on our income, but we have managed to just about keep our heads above water. Our main focus during 2021 will be to bring the St Bartholomew’s project to a satisfactory conclusion and from there, we shall be looking to re-base our parish finances which, naturally, have looked rather healthy for a number of years whilst the project was being planned. We remain mindful of the fact that our income would need to increase by perhaps £40,000 p.a. on an ongoing basis, were we to have a full time vicar at some stage in the future. This really will be a challenge!

Accounting Policies and Notes to the Financial Reports

16

• i) Accounting Policies

• The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011, using the Receipts & Payments basis. With income below £250,000 this system remains acceptable.

• ii) Funds

• General funds relate to the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any specific restrictions regarding their use and are available for application to the general purposes of the PCC. These can include funds which are designated for a particular purpose by the PCC. The accounts include monetary transactions and assets & liabilities for which the PCC is responsible. Income is credited as and when received and payments out are included as at the date of payment.

• iii) Statement of Assets & Liabilities

• The following assets are acknowledged, but not necessarily valued in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities:

• a) Movable church furnishings held by the churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which would require a faculty for disposal

• b) Other fixtures and fittings and office equipment where the PCC would be free to dispose of such assets without a faculty and where the original costs exceeded £1,000

The following assets are recognised and a monetary value given as part of the description in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities;

• a) Investments held beneficially by the PCC and shown at market value

• b) Church silverware (based on the latest valuation)

• c) Bank balances as at the end of year as shown in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities

iv) Notes to accounts

A professional valuation of the silverware by Sotheby’s in February 2015 provided an estimated value between £24,000 and £35,000. Accordingly, the lower value has been incorporated within the accounts. All other property is reckoned to be items of furniture, service books and other publications with the value written off. The PCC does now own its photocopier, but this was purchased as a revenue item and is not included as an asset in the accounts, in view of the difficulty in establishing a realisable value.

Investments means the value of the M&G Charifund and the portfolio managed by Charles Stanley & Co. Ltd (CS). All investments declined in value during the year due to the effects of the pandemic on the economy. .The clock benefaction holds 188 Central Board of Finance (CBF) Income Units

There were no disclosable transactions in respect of PCC members, nor persons closely connected with them, nor other related parties.

A connected charity , Waldron 800 Trust, operates independently. Its purpose is to support ministry within the Parish and a contribution to ministry costs of £4,000 was made in 2020

1) School Governors’ Report

What a year challenging 2020 has proven to be. The first meeting of the Governing Board took place in January in school as usual. All subsequent meetings (and there have been many) have taken place electronically, which has been a steep learning curve for some of us. Well, practice makes perfect and recent meetings have been very professional as we all became more proficient. However, we are all looking forward to the time we can meet in the same room and make our regular visits to school.

Staff and pupils have adjusted to different ways of working; work done at home and sent to school; bubbles of key worker and vulnerable children in school; telephone calls to home on a weekly basis; signposting opportunities for home learning; bubbles going into home isolation due to a positive test result; full school closing and then finally full school returning. At all times our staff have risen to the challenge.

Needless to say the disruption has impacted on children’s learning and we as a school have focused very much on our community wellbeing (hence the regular telephone calls) as well as providing the best we are able to maintain the learning of our pupils.

We hope that 2021 will enable a full return to school life.

2) Dallington Deanery Synod Report

The following is a summary of the meeting that took place during the year.

Summary of Dallington Deanery Synod Wednesday 18[th] November 2020

1. Speaker: The Right Reverend Bishop of Lewes Will Hazlewood.

Bishop Will opened by explaining the importance of two-way communication and while Zoom has been a boon it can never be a replacement for personal meetings. He also said how exciting the whole learning curve of taking on this new role in a new part of the country was to him. The son of a priest, he rebelled but was then called to return. A deeply parochial background and passion lead him to wanting to be a pastoral Bishop to the clergy and laity, with a particular interest in children’s work, the imaginative use of church buildings and the environment. His portfolio is the pastoral care of the eastern area of the Diocese and the Diocese wide care of the retired clergy and the chaplains.

He expressed the view that both good and bad has come from the pandemic, with physical closure, isolation, and the challenges of technology - all exhausting. Whereas, a wider sense that everything had not been as secure and ‘right’ as supposed and this having led to a greater sense of real values and a ‘spiritual burst’ was a positive outcome. He said that he thought the response from the local church communities has been exemplary. And as our church buildings hold the social memory of our communities going forward, they can remain and develop as the true local heart of the C of E.

Questions from the participants .

Sara Stoner asked that further IT be employed with help going to parishes to be involved. Bishop Will agreed this should be explored.

Sue Greener asked how we should address encouraging the young into the church family especially in the rural parishes. Bishop Will, reiterating his particular interest in this area, spoke of the

18

intergenerational opportunities offered within a congregation that in the modern family setting is often missing and that this is not just of benefit to the young but also to the older generations.

Mary Barnes described the issue of the real cold in medieval churches, and the issue of how to work successfully with teenagers. Referring back to his previous answer he then spoke about the ‘Grandma’s bench’ idea from Kenya where a safe pair of ears from an older member of the congregation could listen in a non-judgemental way to teenagers finding it difficult to communicate with members of their own family, often exacerbated by the false images of life to be found on social media.

Parish Report from Revd Rory Graham for the Parish of Hailsham

Revd Graham spoke of the fear and concern within the community during the first lockdown. A parish ‘zoom team’ created ‘Life in Lockdown’, which involved personal testimonies. People talked about how Jesus made a difference to their lives during Covid. These seemed to have helped a good range of people. They are still available on YouTube.

Meetings of the Deanery Synod will be planned for March, June and November 2021. All efforts will be made to call a Standing Committee prior to this to establish an action plan.

3) Churches together in Heathfield (CTH )

Churches Together in Heathfield & District unites Christians from many different traditions and now stretches from the Union Church, Welcome Baptist and Kings Church in the centre of Heathfield and eastward through parishes of All Saints & St Richards, Burwash and Burwash Weald, out as far as Etchingham. To the west it encompasses Waldron Parish, Cross in Hand Methodists and out as far as Holy Cross Catholic church; Southwards there is Horam and Warbleton Parishes and Gamelands Methodist church at Coggers Cross; really demonstrating we have more in common that divides us.

Whist meeting for joint worship and other events has not been possible this year, use of the internet has managed to keep us all in contact. Having been brought to an abrupt stop last year, this year the Lent talks have been planned using Zoom, but also been distributed on disk to those of us who do not use this facility for one reason or another.

Although the Good Friday Walk of Witness could not bodily take place, there was still a presence with hot cross buns being distributed at the gate of the union church.

Although not in celebration services in church, all primary school leavers still received the usual to take them on to their next stage of education and the Christian Aid Committee still managed to send donations of nearly £2000

Margaret Hughes

4) Choir & Music

In common with many others, 2020 proved a very disappointing year for our choir as singing was banned for almost the whole year. Nevertheless, choir members continued to appear at our services to provide moral if not musical support. We were allowed to sing outside church at Christmas and a number of carols were sung, despite the bitter cold. We long for the time when we can reconvene and “normal service” can be resumed. Sadly, the year ended dramatically for our leader, Judith Clark, who suffered severe burns in a domestic accident and was obliged

19

to spend many weeks in hospital. As this report is being prepared, it is good to know that she is now recovering and we hope to have her back with us soon.

Organs

Both organs remained relatively underused throughout 2020 although we endeavoured to introduce a musical content to most services, when we were allowed to. We remain ever grateful to Peter Lawrence and Simon Hobbs for their ongoing support and have benefited from support from Anthony Roberts latterly as well.

5) Parish Prayer Group

The group met throughout the year on Wednesdays, with the exception of Lent, Advent and a break in August.

We commenced the year as usual up until Ash Wednesday. Since then prayer group has continued to meet at 7pm each Wednesday but separately. Our devotions and prayers are led by each member in turn and shared by an email. We then pray through the suggested readings, include suggested prayers and include all those in our Parish Book of Prayer along with our own prayers.

Although the Parish Book of Prayer continues to be is placed on the altar at all main services, this has not always been possible due to the circumstances of 2020. Thank you for all your requests for prayer, and updates about those whom we have been asked to include. Please remember to inform us if you wish your request to remain confidential.

Please continue to place your prayer requests in the boxes provided at the back of both All Saints and St Bartholomew’s.

Carollyn Stanbridge

6) Pastoral & Fellowship

Our Pastoral team has been as active as ever throughout this extraordinary year of the Covid 19 pandemic.

Whilst home visits and face to face meetings have not been able to take place contact has been established and made possible by telephone calls and Zoom meetings.

We have worked hard to build and maintain relationships with those who have needed support during

this time whether because of bereavement, loneliness or isolation.

We have missed seeing many of our regular members of our congregations and church community but through various means and ways we believe that we have not lost contact with anyone. Our streamed services have been much appreciated and welcomed as a part of regular worship. The E- news and parish web site are a source of information related to all matters in the parish .Even our Lockdown gardens have been an online visual joy.

Funerals have taken place with very reduced numbers and it will be possible in due course for memorial services to be held so that we can all share in these losses.

Weddings and baptisms have been postponed, often not once but twice in some cases. How joyous it will be when these happy occasions can take place again.

Whilst we have spent most of the last year unable to share daily life with our friends and neighbours,

20

our actions have been a true testimony to the generosity of the human spirit. Not only our church family but the whole community have worked and pulled together to ensure that all needs of all people were met in every way. Shopping and delivering important items such as prescriptions, taking time to make that phone call, being aware and on the lookout for one another.

We can truly say that we have loved our neighbour as ourselves, THANK YOU ALL for being members of the wider Pastoral Team.

Sarah Mackenzie.

6) Friends of Waldron Churches

The constraints of the Covid-crisis (chiefly lockdown) have seriously minimised the activity of the Friends. During 2020 some Friends have helped in the church phone-around to check whether those on the Parochial electoral roll would welcome a phone chat and/or any help over provisions and prescriptions. None of the usual events took place, and in particular the Rotary Classic Car Family Fun Day planned for August 2020 was cancelled and there was no Christmas event. The committee agreed to donate £50,000 towards the new build at St Barts. No AGM was held during 2020.

Given the uncertainty as to when lockdown would be lifted and whether this would be stepwise, the first event planned for 2021 has been the Rotary Classic Car (and Motor-Cycle) Family Fun Day, scheduled for Sunday 15 August 2021 subject to any Covid restrictions at the time. We hope to celebrate Christmas in our traditional Friends fashion and perhaps have some autumn 2021 events to enjoy the ‘new normal’ if so it proves.

The main thrust of the Friends will be directed at 2022 and the Jubilee Week in early June when there will be a three-day Flower Festival in All Saints church, possibly with organ music played there during Saturday 4 June 2022. It is hoped that other events, including Waldron’s Open Gardens, will also be held.'

Tim Williams – Chairman FoWC

8) Freewill Offering & Gift Aid

Although most regular givers contribute through the Parish Giving Scheme, gift aided donations using pink envelopes is still an alternative, especially for the ‘odd’ top up or other giving. You can also gift aid donations given for a specific purpose, such as building projects

Our own church scheme also qualifies us to claim under the Gift Aid Small Donations scheme (GADS). Whereby we can claim tax back on up to £8000 of small, anonymous cash donations (up to £20 per time) given within each church, as collections etc. There are some restrictions and the main one is that we can only claim equivalent to ten times the giving under our FWO Gift Aid Scheme. Therefore, although we might not claim the full amount each year, to claim the maximum available we must continue to receive £1600 FWO giving between the churches.

Please note that, for us to claim gift aid, you must be a UK tax payer and that, if you pay less Income

and/or Capital Gains Tax than the total amount of Gift Aid claimed under ALL your charitable giving in the tax year. It is legally your responsibility to make up any difference to HM Customs & Revenue.

21

Please therefore inform me if your tax position changes. (If appropriate and so requested, we can claim

gift aid on part of your donation only)

We do, however, ask you prayerfully review your giving, at regular intervals, especially this year when we have not always been able to meet together

Because gift aid must be claimed in line with our accounting year, the amount included in the accounts always refers to the previous year. The FWO scheme is totally independent of the Parish Giving scheme .

If you have any queries, require notice of giving for tax purposes, or would like further information on any of these matters, please see me.

Margaret Hughes (FWO Secretary)

9) Family Support Work (FSW)

What a very strange year 2020 proved to be for both the organisation and our Dallington Deanery committee. The only meeting we held together was in February and our planned events for the year were cancelled.

However, the work of FSW was in greater demand than ever given the COVID situation in which we found ourselves. However, with huge support from across the county families have continued to be supported in many new and innovative ways, for which they have been extremely grateful.

As always here in Waldron our supporters rose to the occasion and continued to support with regular donations of food and household supplies, Easter eggs, summer games and equipment, harvest time and Christmas presents. Many contributed by making their contribution direct to FSW via the banking system (please check out the FSW website if this is something you wish to do).

In whatever way you have supported a very big Thank You.

There are plans in place for fundraising during the coming year and there is a labelled container in each church for you to leave donations of food, toiletries, cleaners etc (if you use it so will the FSW families). Thank you for your continued support.

Carollyn Stanbridge

Secretary Dallington Deanery FSW Committee

10) Caring & Sharing

The Caring and Sharing Scheme is now almost 40 years old having started in Eastbourne in 1982. The scheme has raised over £2.75m – with the Charity currently funding fifteen projects in the developing world. Unfortunately, with declining membership the total amount falls annually.

Sadly, following the untimely death of Anne Brine, we do not have a local representative for this worthy charity and, indeed, there are only a handful of supporters at this time. We shall endeavour to raise the profile of this charity as we move forward and, if you feel like offering to assist in this work, please advise one of the churchwardens.

11) Bellringers Report

Our last bell ringing at All Saints was the practice on Monday 16[th] Match 2020. The ringing room is now a bit of a time warp with the March availability sheet and the March 2020 calendar still on display. At least the clock is still going and the bells chime! I did, however, ring the tenor, half muffled, prior to the Remembrance Sunday service.

A really great asset this year has been the use of a recording of the Waldron bells. Back in 2001, Brian Hamper, one of our ringers, decided to set up his camera in the belfry to record a Quarter Peal being rung by a team of visiting ringers from other Sussex Towers. Chris Hinman, also one of our ringers, has then used this recording to great effect at many Sunday services and at least at one wedding. He used his amplifier and a small TV screen so that the congregation could both hear and see the Waldron Bells. All fifteen of the Waldron ringers have remained in touch during this difficult period and are all very keen to resume what we really enjoy. Hopefully, this will be later in the Summer of 2021. Before doing so, I will have to organise a team cleaning session up and down the tower with a thorough check on bells and ropes. With the help of the PCC we have recently funded the installation of improved lighting above the bells and the stairs at the entrance to the clockroom plus an additional power supply to the belfry. This will improve the safety of working in those areas.

The return of the Waldron Bells ringing again will be well advertised and the Union Flag will be flying at the top of the tower!

Brian Tompsett

12) Parish Pealers

The Parish Pealers had their last ring on 13th March in preparation for our usual celebration of St. Patrick’s Day at Holy Cross Nursing Home. Unfortunately, this had to be cancelled due to COVID-19 and the bells have been silent ever since. Hopefully, things will return to normal during 2021 and we can get together again.

Maureen Keith

13) Linked Hands

A friendly group for the elderly who usually meet on Monday mornings once a month at Cross in Hand Village Hall. We enjoy visiting speakers as well as occasional outings to places of interest. We are always delighted when church members support us with lifts as well as providing cakes for coffee time! Jigsaws are always popular and they come and go from my porch all the time or change hands on the regular mini-buses to shopping. We have a round 40 to 50 men and women at our meetings and new members are welcome and, of course, more pairs of hands to assist in running the meetings.

14) Lost & Found

2020 started with much promise and we were able to hold a lunch on February 29[th] which proved popular as ever. Almost immediately afterwards, the Covid situation emerged and put paid to organising any other activity until restrictions were lifted. As we know, this never really happened and so contact had to be maintained via email and telephone and this has proved a helpful way to ensure that those who

23

need some support are receiving it. Naturally, we all look forward to better times in 2021 when, hopefully, we shall be able to gather again in person and enjoy each others’ company!

15) WALDRON 800 TRUST

2020 has been a strange year of change for the Charity. In February the new Board of Trustees met to review the current position and agree the direction of investment travel in the coming months. By then, values were little different from the year end and, whilst the storm clouds of this corona virus were growing, we in common with the rest of the country did not anticipate the extent of the problems that were developing.

The initial reaction in stock markets around the world was swift and immediate, with all asset prices falling significantly as buyers retreated leaving sellers to dominate proceedings. Because of the spread of our interests, we felt sufficiently protected against this type of market movement which mirrored previous downturns. The subsequent recovery has been at a gentler and more measured pace. The net result leaves our assets 4.95% higher over the year.

Our income for the year has been £3,700.27, and the value of the Fund stood at £192,510.98 at the year end. At the request of Ian Dixon, the Parish Treasurer, the Trustees made an immediate grant of £2,000.00 in February 2020. Parish income during lockdown has been reduced and a further grant was requested and £2,000.00 was made in December in respect of accumulated income. A further payment will be made in January 2021. We continue to work with Ian and take this opportunity of thanking him for his ongoing support and listening ear.

Looking to the year ahead, we are in course of taking advice on the future question of income as the Charity celebrates its twenty first year of incorporation: this event may require a change of distribution policy. The Trustees look forward to the day when we can all meet safely in person again!
