REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER: 1185005 Report of the Trustees and Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 for Aylsham PCC Annual Repor 2023 A}15hanJ Parish Church Ro%i5tered Charit!. No. IIS5005 Worshlp: Rev Canon Julie Boyd In 2023 there was a change in our clergy sta￿]ng numbers, reducing ihe number of clergy from 3.5 to 2. This lcd to thc churchcs in our tcarn nccding to cmbracc a ncw pattcm of worship so that thc clcrgy and lay rninis- tcrs could more easily cover the geography and help all the churches continue to meet for worship on a regular basis. For Aylsham Church this meant a change in service time for the main service in church. Previously with a start time of10:15 we then moved to an I l am start time. Our thanks Ivcre extcnded to all mLmbers of thL congrcgation for thcir under- standing and support with this including the vergers, stewards. re- freshments team, camera operators, readers, intercessors, organist, choir and bell ringers and all those who support our worship in dif- ferent ways. AnothLr signifiLant ehangL to our worship in 2023 was thL intro- diiction of Taize services on an occasional basis with the support of Find Your Voice and friends. The services are very prayerful and peaceful and it has been really encoiiraging to see new people coming along lo join us for these services. Also in Junc 2023 wc introduced a nLw stylL of worship on thL 4, Sunday of the nionth called Breakfast Church@Ten. People are welcomed into church and oftered a continental style breakfast which they enjoy seated at tables arranged around the font and un- der the tower at the west end of the church. Worship is led from the font so that all can see and be involved. There are songs (both hirynns and worship songs), story, prayers and activities for all the family. Some Inonths we have welcomed visitors and new people to the church and other rnonths it is more a gathering ot regular church goers. At the end ot the service people are invited to gather in the Lady Chapel for a short Comimunion service. The start of Breakfast ChurchCa)Ten has been a delight. In addition to our regular services of Holy Communion and Moming Prayer we have also had special services for A Quiet C,hristmas, ACT memorial service, Carol Service, Advent Service, All Souls, Remembrance Sunday, Harvest Service, Christingle and special services as Ive welcome visitors, SUPPN)rt charita- ble works and celebrate significant events in the town such as the Coronation Service and the Service as we rededicated the Aylsham Bells on Iheir relum lo the tower after repair and retuning. Also in 2023 we celebrated with Rev Natalie Rees her ordination to the priesthood al Norwich Cathedral on July l and we also said farewell lo Rcv Tony Lynn from our team as he took retirement in OctoLEr 2023. Coffee Mornings.. Angela Quinn It was good in 2023 to be able to welcome a wide range of charities into our lovely church on the 1 st Saturday of most months of the year, giving them the opportunity to raise money but also to welcome many people to come together for a sociable and enjoyable time over coffee (and, of course, some delicious cake). Amongst the charities supported were children's church, Prostate Cancer, Christian Aid. Leprosy Mission. the Diocesan Lent Appeal, Young Organists (including a magnificent concertll, Shoebox Appeal, Nelson's Journey, and most spectacularly of all, North Norfolk Aid for Ukraine. The organisers of the charity were Ihere to talk about their experiences delivering aid which was extremely interesting and moving. We have a wonderful range of mornings booked through from March to December in 2024, and I would like to thank everyone who works so hard to put them on and all those many people who sup- port them -8 L'"Ir, ry New Brew: Sally Hildrew New Brew celebrated its 6 birthday this year. With increased altendance, an addilional team member on a regular basis would enable us to be better hosts. Changes like flowers on the tables, providing newspapers, colouring and crafts, have made the café much more welcorning. We held displays of old household objects and coronation memorabilia and played 78s on a wind-up gramophone, all of which people found interesting and enjoyable. Our Macmillan Coffee morning raised an amazing £415. Recently, people have seemed comfortable just chatting amongst themselves or with New Brew team members, so quite often nobody tries the craft activity. Having heating is wonderful but it's inadequate in mid-winter, so we closed again until March 1. Do call in one Friday morning io see what happens and if you know anyone who is lonely or isolated, please invite them or belter still bring them along. Music and Events: Clive Mccombie The 2023 season was very busy with a total of 16 evenls- 13 musical and 3 illustrated talkslquizzes. The season had to be fitted into the April - September period because of the costs associated with heating the church in winter. The programme was varied, ranging from Organ Recitals to a Flute Choir, a Male Voi Choir to a Wind Band. We also continued our support for promising young amateur musicians with the Young Organists, Pla￿orM and the Academy of St Michael's. Particularly popular concerts were given by the past and present pupils of Aylsham High School, the Vocalights Community Choir and a Gilbert and Sullivan Concert given by the Wandering Minstrels. The season grossed around £5,000 for church funds, reinforced the church as a community resour￿ and contributed to its wider outreach. A willing and hard- working band of volunteers made it all possible. In 2024. we have organised another April- September season of some 13 events and look foNard to welcoming audiences to our performing space. CHOIR: Harry Macey The choir continues its high level of commitment and hard work al rehearsals, Sunday services and special occasions. Choristers, camaraderie and concern for each other are special virtues of Aylsham choir. Find Your Voice is managed superbly by Matthew Boyd and Mathew Martin. From their hard work we have recruited several valued new members and are, at present, particularly seeking new sopranos and tenors. Thanks to Melanie who does a huge amount of work as choir librarian and robes mistress. and to Sylvia. our Choir Fund treasurer. Hymns, anthems, liturgical and organ music for worship are meliculously planned well in advance. A monthly music-list is posted. Please let Harry have your email address if you would like one sent to you. The choir enjoyed the hospitality of the vicarage for a BBQ in July plus the annual Choir Dinner at the Skeyton Goat in November. Instead of giving each Christmas cards choristers donated £138 to The Chil- dren's Society in 2023. Thank you to all choristers for their commit- ment. Christmas Tree Festival: Debbie Graver The annual Chrislmas Tree Festival was organised by a new committee following Angela's well earned reliremenl after many successful years running the Feslival. We had 42 trees in the Church each decorated by a different charity and this year welcomed several new charities to the Festival. This year we also had each Iree sponsored by a local organisation which helped increase the funds received by the charities. We are extremely grateful to all our generous sponsors. We also ran a raffle ovèr the weekend and offered lunches and afternoon teas for our visitors. The Church looked beautiful and attracted many visitors over the weekend. Fundraising was successful as well with each of the participating charities receiving £92.75. The refreshmenls also raised £644.22 for the Church and we also raised £125 from an online auction for a giant teddy bear which went to EACH. Thank you to all our sponsors, tree decorators, helpers and the committee for organising such a successful festival. The organ continues to be cared for by Henry Willis & Sons who restored the instrument in 2018-19. Mathew Martin adds: The choir, clergy and congregation owe much gratitude to Hary for his skills, talents and teaching shared with us through his role as Organist and Choir Director, that enhance our worship in Aylsham" Fabric-matthew Boyd APRIL- On the 14 April we had our new flag pole installed ready for the coronation of King Charles111 on the 6 May. Following official prolocol, a new NO￿lCh Diocesan Flag of Saint George was raised al exaclly 8..00 AM on Friday the 5 May by our tower captain Mike Cocker for the coronation weekend. MAY- Swift Boxes were installed against the louvres in the north side of the bell chamber with an electronic . swift caller fitted to attract swfts lo the new site. No swifts took up residence in the first year which wasn't unexpected bul as soon as the first do slart nesting we hope the colony will grow quickly. JUNE- The quinquennial report was re￿iVed with no immediale actions identified for our church. The recommendations have since been reviewed by the fabric committee. JULY- New digital wireless microphones were installed to remove the problems of inlerference we were experiencing with the old microphones. We now have 3 wireless lapel microphones. a handheld wireless microphone, a new microphone in the pulpit as well as the existing lectem microphone, a wireless analogue unit for plugging into phones and laptops and sockets at the front and back of the church also for use with phoneslPCs. AUGUST- Our repaired and retuned bells were installed over a period of 8 days with huge help from church volunteers. On Monday the 14 August the bells were lined up along the south aisle with the largesl, the tenor bell suspended a few inches off the floor below the tower at the back of the church. The bells were decorated with flowers ready for a service of blessing by the Very Reverend Dr Andrew Braddock Dean of Norwich. The church was full for this very special service. The first test ring of all len bells was on Thursday the 24 August as part of the final inslallalion check. The whole of the bells project has been warmly embraced by the local community. The bells were first rung for a service on Sunday 17, September. OCTOBER- additional security cameras were installed at various points in the church and have already proved to be useful in monitoring our open church. Christmas Day LunC1￿ReV Canon Julie Boyd On Christmas DayAylsham Parish Church welcomed 50 people to the Town Hall for a Christmas Lunch, offered free to local people who would otherwise be on their own for the celebration. We ate fine food, enjoyed music from David Young, saxophonist and watched the King's speech on Ihe big screen together. There were gifts for all. Thanks were given to David Young, to Charlie Hodson, the Coop, the Town Council, Coxfords Butchers, Whites Butchers, Cheese Truckle, Crown Supplies and Pilgrim Foods as well as all the volunteers who made this possible and all those who offered gifts and made financial donations. IThis is the second year running thal we have supported people in this way al Christmas time. It is one way in which we seek to support people in the comrnunity and to combat social isolation. iy Coronation Weekend: Rev Canon Julie Boyd On 7, May 2023 there was a special celebration Service of Holy Communion in Aylsham Parish Church for the Coronation lebralions. It was followed by a picnic lunch in the churchyard with crafts and games for children and adults alike. We all enjoyed the fabulous photo booth where regal photographs were taken. The event was great celebration and lots of fun for all. A big thank you to all those who look part and supported this event. Our Volunteers We are extremely fortunate to be supported by many volunteers who undertake numerous tasks within the Church. These include cleaners, readers, intercessors, ver- gers, lay ministers, choir members, musi- clans, flower arrangers, charity SUPPOrters, those helping with our churchyard cleanup days, stewards, administrators, bellringers, providers of refreshments, helpers at our evenls, children's workers. stewards, administrative staff and our Trustees. Many put in numerous hours to support our work and we are grateful to each and every one of them. Filling the Gap: Rev Canon Julie Boyd Food and toiletry parcels were delivered to local families during the school holidays. Parcels went out to between 20 and 25 families in the Easter, Summer and Christmas holidays to give a boost to those families who need a bit of support in this way. Donations have been received from Tesco, the Co-op and from members of the church and community lo support this ongoing project. The local schools are very helpful in identifying where the need mighl be and there have been many messages re￿iVed from the families to say what a difference this makes lo them. Our Clergy and Lay Ministers Our clergy and lay ministers work hard to support our mission in Aylsham. We are extremely grateful for the work undertaken by Rev Canon Julie Boyd, Rev Natalie Rees, Fiona Tibbitt and David Martin. We are also supported by a number of retired clergy who undertake services and want to offer our thanks to each and every one of them. Children's Work A welcome to schools and uniformed youth organizations We enjoy our strong links to all our schools, taking assemblies and collective worship in the schools and in the church and welcoming schools into church for their special celebration services especially at Easter. Harvesl and Christmas. In 2023 Rev Julie and Rev Natalie organised a day of prayer stations at Sl Michael's CofE VA Primary and Nursery School. Each class had a time slot to come and experience prayer in a new way, something they engaged in fully. When the church bells were taken out ofthe church for restoration in March 2023 we organised for groups of children from our schools to come along for a bells experience, seeing a bell being lowered. ringing on the mini ring and doing some craft activities as well. We also enjoyed welcoming some of our Uniformed Youth Organisations into the church to do their failh badges. First Steps and Make and Take In February 2023 First Steps Parent and Toddler Group and Make and Take After School Club were relaunched wilh a new team. Tracey Ringwood very generously stepped in to coordinate the crafts for the groups and with the support of a wonderful and dedicated team of volunleers the groups continued to thrive with up to 25 toddlers and Iheir families coming to the First Steps group and approximately 55 children and their families attending Make and Take every Thursday in term time. For First Steps the children enjoyed the free time of crafts, toys and refreshments as well as the weekly story time and favourite songs in the Molly Long Room. For Make and Take the different themes each week gave a wonderful variety to the activities on offer. There was a special Dino Day event supporting CONTACT who help disabled children and their families. There was also a special session celebrating the Coronation in May 2023. Pancake party and Light Party We enjoyed our annual pancake party on Shrove Tuesday with pancake decorating and fun crafts and games to welcome people. On 31, October we offered once more our LIGHT PARTY giving families an alternative to trick or treating. The church looked amazing with wonderful light displays. The children made lanterns for the lantern parade, they ate hotdogs and they joined in with the games and light experiences around the church. Y7 v*• Eco Team .' Bill and Erica Fisher There was an eco Servi￿ at Breakfastchurch@10. In cooperation with Aylsham Climate Emergency group, a multipurpose recycling bin (black) has been placed alongside other bins outdoors. New cycle racks have been installed and are in regular use. Two hundred crocus bulbs have been planted, and bluebells and primroses by the insect hotel. The Council, Aylsham in Bloom, and the church are working together lo create a quiet area with seating. We continue to encourage church members to adopt ecologically sound lifestyle choices through the eco space in the pew sheet and the notice board. Environmentally sound cleaning materials and hand-wash are in use in the kitchen, reducing plastic waste by refilling containers. We have held churchyard clear-up days. As well as being enjoyable for the participants, passers-by have taken an interest both in what we're doing and why it is being done.
