Vicar's report There is a lot to say and l am aware that for many lunch is looming. So lastly a big THANKS to all who contribute to the life of our parish. Knowing that you do this out of the love of God and not for any material gain or sense of self importance is a good indicator a5 to the health of the parish. Which is good in so many w3yS. There are however two areas of concern that need to be addressed as a matter of prlority. First is the financial security of the parish. We survive by virtue of Booze in the Pews. Fundraising is an important frdctor in our church lrfe but BITP was intended. in the main to support outreach and other initiatives and not paying for the vicar. (through propping up the parish share. this should be the responsibility of the congregation. I know Elaine will talk about this latter so enough said. Last but not least is the attendance at weekday services, especially on holy days. These have never really recovered from the days of Covid-19 restriction and l urge you all to review you commitments and make these a priority based on our Sunday attendance I would like to see both these areas increase by at least fifty percent over the next twelve months. It is an important step to our ability to stand alone as a parish and not face possible calls to merge with others over the years ahead. Just remember that With God all things are p05sible' consequently there is no reason to have despair over these. As we journey on as an Easter People let our love of God and each other be the motivating factors that we may live up to the claim to be a 'visible and generous people of Jesus Chrisy. Once again THANK YOU and May God bless you all Fr Mark Amey Vicar Electoral roll report The total number of parishioners on the electoral roll rn December 2024 was 96, down from 101 which was due to several reasons.
2025 sees us having to complete a new electoral roll and everyone will have to complete an Application to Register. This takes place every 6 years and it is essential that we all take up our right to be able to vote at the APCM for selection of churchwardens and PCC members and their role5 Within the PCC. Janet Parker Electoral Roll Officer Churchwardens, report We began the year as usual with supporting the delivery of the Langley Bread by St Ives United Charities. Along with Bible Dicing following Pentecost, the United Charities support the continuation of a few old traditions of the town. which are found nowhere else. and the church is represented by its two wardens. who are permanent trustees {changing only as the office holder changes). We have continued with our usual rna1ntenan and cleaning of the church thrcwghout the year. including working with the Town Council to ensure that the churchyard is maintained to a suitable standard. 2024 also saw the completion of the quinquennial inspection. This inspection. which should take place every five years. detsils the current state of the fabric of the building and lists items requiring attention according to their severity. There are item5 which need attention however. as is sadly usual. we are limited by cash flow in what we can do. With the sale of the hall on the horizon. the PCC has instructed architects to outline some possibilities for the reordering of the church. which will include some of the remedial works from the inspection. On the subject of the sale of the hall, we would like to extend our thanks to John Bacon and the Hall Committee who have worked so hard over the years to get us the planning permission for redevelopment of the hall. in order for us to market it (for those who were unaware. as a charity we are legally duty bound to maximise the profft from a sale. hence we were advised to get planning permission to increase the value of the hall before we sold it). We attended the HDC Planning Committee in April to show support for the PCC and hear the council's final decision. Since then, we have supported the necessary work to bring the hall to market
In May, Callum represented Fr Mark at the annual Mayor Making [emOnY. and he has also accompanied Fr Mark at other events such as the Michaelmas Fair. We are aware that with Fr Marvs retirement approaching in the next couple of years. opportunities like this to build connections between the church and local bodies will enable a smooth transition through the interregnum and into the next incumbency. As usual, we would like to offer our thanks to everyone who is involved in the day-to- day running of the church. As custodians of the building. it is our job to manage the maintenance and upkeep of our church and churchyard, and we certainly couldn't do that on our own! Sadly, we have noticed that the same few people are taking on more and more and we would be happy to hear from anyone who feels they can do a little bit {whatever that may be) to support our work throughout the year. Finally. a personal note from Callum: As you will all be aware, this yearfs APCM marks the end of Barrfs time as a churchwarden and member of the PCQ Barry ha5 given over 30 year5 of his lrfe in sUPPOrt of our parish as a churchwarden, and it will be difficult to fill the gap he leaves. l am very grateful for his support over the past two years as I have begun my journey as a churchwarden and. even more so. l am grateful that he has said he will still be there to offer advice going forward! I look forward to working with our new warden (as yet unknown at the time of writing this), continuing to stand up for our beautiful building as so many have done before us. Callum Dlckerson and Barry Wills Churchwardens Servers, report The serving team have continued to support services at the church for another year. supplying a serving party for all major festivals, masses, funerals etc. Due to the low number of volunteeTS. we occasi9nally have to double up or get someone to help us OUL Many thanks to the dedicated servers who have always been on call and enjoyed serving.
If you would like to join our team you would be very wekome - ivs a privilege to serve at the Lord's table. Please speak to Fr Mark or Barry if you would like to join us or are interested in finding out more about whays involved. Barry Wills Head server Deanery Synod report St Ives deanery Synod met five times during 2024. Agenda item5 included finan5, safeguarding, mission and work with children. The guest speaker for the autumn meeting was Ruth New. Ruth is a dI0san children and family worker. Her role is to support work with children at parish level. Each pariSh/benefi in the deanery gave a presentstion about the work in our churches. Three lay members of All Saints congregation. and clergy. represent our church. Peter Smith Deane resentative Children's church report Children's church took place during the 10.15 service every Sunday in 2024. Children met in the church chancel after the collect. or in the churchyard on fine days during summer months. We are pleased to have five regular families and to welcome visiting children. Our age range is from two to twelve years. We start with a bible story which is usually the gospel for the day. Children gather round the altar to lead the Lorrfs Prayer and receive 3 blessing.
Craft artivities are designed to suit the varying ages of the thildren. These help them to remember what they have learned and are displayed at the back of church during coffee for the congregation to see. Thanks to parents and helpers for their support and to the children for their enthusiasm. Peter Smith Parish Safe uardin OffIr Safeguarding report All Saints PCC follows guidance from the House of Bishops on safeguardin& The parish safeguarding policy was reviewed and approved by the PCQ The policy is the model safeguarding policy from the Diocese of Ely. The policy is displayed on the parish website. with a link from the websÈte home page. The PCC has appointed Peter Smith as parish safeguarding officer (PSO). The PSO has attended all necessary safeguarding training and regular update sessions. PCC member5 completed required DBS checks at appropriate levels and are completing on-line safeguarding training. Training and checks on food bank volunteers are cornpleted as approprrate. The required safeguarding infomiation posters are displayed in church. Infomiation on keeping children safe at the beer festival was provided to parents. There are no outstanding safeguarding concems. Peter Smlth Parish Safe uardin Officer
Music and choir report The choir remains small but extremely dedicated to leading the singing at Mass week by week and membership has remained stea(ty. We are able to sing in complete 4-part harniony when everyone is present. which makes it possible to sing occasional anthems or motets or to sing suitable verses of Communion hymns unaccompanied. We have continued with the now established pattern of Mass settings. This is not intended to be fed for all time. but is somewhat limited by the fact that good qualtty settings which are easy for a congregation to sing are extremely difficult to find. The penitential seasons are marked by relatively reflective music. with a Plainsong setting for most of the Sundays of LenL At other times we are currently using Masses by Dom Gregory Murray or Martin Everett. On occasions when the congregation is likely to be augmented by people who do not attend church on a regular basis. we use some simpler, hymn-like music which is designed to be more easily picked up by those who might find the more complex settings difficult or even off-pirtting. Our team of Cantors continue to make a valuable contribution to music in the liturgy. regularly singing parts of the Penitential Rite. the Responsorial Psalm and the Gospel Acclamation, and leading hymns (especially those that are less well known} on occasion. However loyal and dedicated the existing choir members may be, it would nevertheless be good for membership of the choir to grow. Any of the congregation who would like to join would be welcome at any time. You do not need to be able to read music and you do not have to commit to being present every single week of the year: enthusiasm. the ability to sing in tune and a willingness to take part as regularly as you can are the things we are looking for! Regular rehearsals take place on Thursday evenings at 7.30 for about an hour. Finally, on a cautionary note, the organ misfunctioned at the Parish Concert in September and has done so on occasions since. These are symptomatic of the problems to be expected with a thirty year old computer. I would urge that to budget now for an upgrading of the interna15 would be a prudent move as this would be considerably more economic than a replacement. Martin Everett Director of Music io
Bellringers, report Our band of ringers at All sain has remained fairly constant during the past year. and there has been ringing for 311 the Sunday services. sometimes with visitors. and half- muffled ringing for Rernernbran Sunday. The New year was welcomed with a quarter peal on 1st January 2024. and there were three other quarter peals. including one to mark Claire Brockelsby's ordination to Deacon on 30th June and one as a training exercise at a Monday evening practice, when there were only six ringers. There wa5 also ringing on Saturday 6th June, to commernorate the 80th anniversary of D Day. with an 80 of Grandsire Doubles being rung during the ringing before the morning Servi the following day. There were two weddings with bells last year. and ten visits from ringers from other towers. which is considerably up on previous years. One of the visits coincided with the Heritage Open Day. which gave visitors to All sain a demonstration of the skill required to ring the bells. Members from our team again hosted visits from various youth groups. showing them the ropes and taking them up to see the bells in the tower, as well as giving them the chance to toll a bell and try a method on hand bells. Our Monday evening practices have been well attended. with several regulars from local towers. and we have a couple of youngsters learning the ropes, along with one adult who rang with us for the Eucharist on Remembrance Sunday. Several of our ringers help at the Booze in the Pews festivals and following the February one the ringers were invited to sample the remaining barrels after our Monday evening practice. which gave a welcome chance to socialise. We also have regular visitor to our practices. who just likes to listen to the bells. It is nice to feel appreciated. Sue Bates Tower Secrets li
Foodbank report 2023 saw rne take over the management of the foodbank as the first paid Operations Manager. My thanks go to Karen who led the foodbank as a volunteer in the years prior. and especially for her guidance in the first couple of months of my new role. Following our tenth anniversary in 2023. 2024 was a year of change for the foodbank. We went into the year being aware that the potential sale of the hall was likely fast approaching, so the main project of the year would be to prepare to move premises. Sadly, Fr Gary had to stand back from the foodbank around Easter time, before officially resigning later in the year. which left us in the unfortunate position of having no stores manager in place as we readied for our move. We were inttially working on a potential move date of earlyjuly (having toured a Warehouse unit and knowing how much space we would have going forward). so prior to this we needed to work on ieducing our stock levels to minimise the work required to move. We began by increasing the amount of stock being sent out in food parls. along with adding in as many non-standard items as p055ible. Unfortunatety. even with these efforts it was clear stock levels could not be reduced quickly enough to meet the needs of a move. By chance. around that time Cambridge City Foodbank had put out a TV appeal saying they were needing to spend £300 a day to buy in stock to meet their requirernents, so we were able to provide excess stock from us to them, at a Tnuch reduced RRP. We entered the summer being in a ready-ttrgo state. working in a very temporary and slightly disruptive way when, unfortunately, our move was delayed by legal processes. We finally got the green light to move in at the start of October. giving us 24 hours to get the new unit ready before the stock stsrted to arrive! From then. until the end of the year, we were 'firefightIn to keep us running, having had all our harvest donations come in at the same time. I would like to extend my thanks,to our wonderful volunteers who have worked through all the last-minute changes of plans, to 42 REME (Geographic) for their help in moving the stock to the new unit, and a spec¥al thanks to Fr Mark, whose previous life in logistics and warehouse management proved invaluable in helping to get things running at our new unit. 12
Having spent many months without a nominated stores manager, during which period we were grateful to Mr Martin Collier for his assistance during this time. we formally employed Jason Hall to manage our stores from December. He has already made great progress. devising a new stores management system which is working well. My thanks also go to Leonie. Mary and Sally. and all the regulars at the church on a Tuesday and Friday morning, who offer the sometimes much needed face-to-face aspect of the foodban 2024 saw a reduction in client numbers, although we did sUPPOrt 214 new clients last year {this is down from 290 new clients in 2023). We provided 16.6 tonnes of food which fed 1.194 people over exactly 6( packages. This was 344 single package5, 112 couple packages, 103 small families and 41 large families. This is a decrease on the 20.7 tonnes given out in 2023, despite several months of inflated parcel sizes. Over the past year we have worked on providing more information to clients to help them redu dependability on the foodbank, and we have noticed a reduction in repeat clients coming back. The breakdown of reasons for needing the foodbank for the last three years is induded below. which demonstrates the changes throughout the cost-of-living crisis, by prirnary cause. The big one to note is homelessness. which is the default reason given for anyone who has been placed in temporary accommodation. We are fortunate in St Ives that we have very few people homeles5 on the streets, however we do have homeless people who are placed in Oliver5 Lodge by local councils as temporary accommodation. Clients often go into Olivers Lodge with little or no supplies, and we are often called upon to provide support. hen why the homelessness category has grown so much.

We remain grateful to everyone who supports our work in whatever way- be this by donating to Us in the supemiarkets or online, helping as a volunteer. or simply by praying for the work we do and those who we are privileged to supporL Callum Dickerson Foodbank O erations Mana er Mothers, Union report This year our MU Branch has 24 members. The Branch hosted a Service for the Feast of the Annunciation to which we invited members from other Branche5 in our Group. We were joined by members from Brampton and St Neots and we enjoyed fellowship and afternoon tea. We have been vistted by a variety of speakers who have both entertained and educated our meetings, with talks on flowers in the Bible. being an evacuee in Wales and a visit from a Speaker from The Leprosy Mission. The Women's Refuges have continued to be supported and we are grateful to the members of the Congregation who have helped in this regard with their generous donations. Members have also continued making knitted items to help others. At the beginning of August our banner was included in a wonderful display of Mothers. Union Banners and artefacts. which was well attended by people froffl all over the country. Ourfundraising event of Aftemoon Teas raised £924. which was equally divided between AFIA (Away from it All). offering holidays for those otherwise unable to afft)rd to, and "Summer of Hope". helping those around the World who are trying to establish some security for them5elve5 and their frdmilies. The teas were well attended and we are grateful for the support of Fr. Mark for arranging the use of the gazebo and Mr. Peter Smith, Mr Gavin Hitchcock and Messrs David and Edward Milner for their help in erecting it to ensure shelter from rain and sun. 14
In Dember some members travelled to St Neots to participate in an Athient Service followed by lunch. We also enjoyed a wonderful time of fellowship and readings and shared a delicious lunch at the home of Janet and Malcolm CockcrofL Our meetings have been well attended throughout the year and we have enjoyed worship and fellowship. Deirdre Milner Mothers. Union Treasurer's Annual Report The Church had a challenging financial year in 2024. despite good cost control and fvndraising events. The Church has made a Ioss of £18.919 on the year of which £5,153 can be attributed to the church and £13.766 as a budgeted deficit by the Foodbank. Key factors that contributed to the loss include lower levels of income in stewardship. donation and fees from services than hoped, as well 3s less Hall income due to the move of the Foodbank from the Hall to its new premise5. Costs were also higher with increase in gas and electricity bills and considerable unavoidable maintenance costs such as boiler repairs and electric system repairs required to maintain safety standards and insurance expectations after an insurance audiL The Foodbank moved premises and incurred the costs of paying for rent over 3 years in a Single lump sum in order to secure a favourable annual rate. It also incurred the costs of setting up the new premises to be able to accommodate necessary racking and administrative space. The Foodbank was successful in securing a grant from the National Lottery Community Fund, however, which notably off-set these additional costs. The PCC voted to elect Peter Watson as the Independent Examiner for the 2024 accounts during the year. 15
Reserves Policy The Church has a policy that its Unrestricted Reserves should aim not to fall below the level of approximately 3 months, expenditure (currently set at £50,000 based on annual expenditure of approx. £200.0(X)) and has a target for 6 months running costs {£IOO,000). Unrestricted Reserves currently stand at £32.887 and are below the ideal level. The holding of sufficient Unrestricted Reserves enables the Church to continue to operate and pay its liabilities for a full business quarter in the event that a matter of extreme misfortune occurs. The holding of free reserves also ensures that the Church holds the neSSary funds to manage steady cashfiow throughout the year. despite an unsteady flow of income and expenditure. The Church holds a number of Unrestricted Designated Funds. These fvnds are held to enable investment in the mid-temi future to preserve the thurch's building and assets. or to fund an activity to honour a donor who has made a Bequest (a donation made after their death). The Church also has a series of Designated Restricted Funds for the Foodbank to help to manage known and unknown risks to its operations and planned future development. For example, the Foodbank may have staffing costs in the event that it needs to replace staff who leave or become unwell, and now holds a building lease on a fully repairing basis which may mean it needs to invest in building repairs as they fall due. The Church will need to increase its Restricted Designation to £20.400 by continuing to build reserves to cover this over the forthcoming years before this falls due. The Church's Reserves are allocated as follows from 31st December 2024: 16
