St Peter’s Highfields is the Parish church serving the St Peter’s estate, Highfields and the African Caribbean community. We are a diverse inclusive community located in a diverse but financially poor area - the parish ranks in the (financially) poorest 2 per cent of the country. 

The church meets as a worshipping community in the building and online. Our main act of worship is Sunday morning at 11am. We share Ministry with St Philip’s Leicester and have links with St Stephens, St Denys and the Open air church in Knaptoft. We are part of the Church of England, an Eco Church (Bronze award) and part of the Inclusive Church network.

## **Rector’s Report** 

2024 was a milestone for the church as we celebrated our 150th year in the church building. This was marked predominantly by a special commemorative service, presided by Bishop Martyn Snow but also included a range of events such as the Family Fun Day. Some small but significant improvements were made to the building, including hot running water in the toilets, new energy efficient lighting outside and in the Old Hall and an upgraded ramp to the main church entrance. 

2024 was the first year following the withdrawal of support for our Mission and Administrator, Cathryn, and bizarrely also a time when the Diocese sought a considerable amount of time input into the proposal for Minister Communities. Uncertainty, especially from the diocese and what this might mean, remains one of the most pressing risks for the church going forward and it is frankly shaming that the diocese, which technically exists to support ministry at parish level, is the source of such uncertainty at a time when poor and deprived communities, in particular, continue to be hit by increasing costs and cuts to services and benefits. The PCC published their concerns in November 2024, saying 

_“We remain concerned about proposals that might seek to dilute the ministry presence in the parishes or impose any additional “oversight”, line management of anything that dilutes or hinders each PCCs ability to fulfil its legal responsibility or its calling to serve God in the parish, or similarly hinders or dilutes our Minister’s calling.”_ 

Bookings for private parties increased, as did demand for the Saturday feed provided in partnership with Midland Langar Seva Society (MLSS). Attendance at Sunday Services has slowly increased, and numbers joining online have remained constant. Investment has been made in our online streaming, and work continued on improving the building, although there remains numerous outstanding issues that need addressing. 

Steady work on addressing environmental issues and performance meant that the church achieved Bronze Eco Award status, and the PCC adopted a statement of inclusivity, joined the Inclusive Church network and indicated that the church would bless same sex couples who were married. The Rector and PCC expressed a desire to be able to do so in stand alone services as soon as this was enabled by Synod. 

## **Worshipping Community** 

St Peter’s has a steady group of loyal congregation members who attend most Sundays - either in church or online, and a large number of people who attend sporadically. A number of people attend for a short time, such as asylum seekers, or stay with us whilst they find confidence and either move on, or are able to move on themselves. We have supported a number of people in this position throughout the year. 

Regular worship is held on Sunday at 11am, and Tuesday at 10am. Average attendance on Sunday is 35-40, and Tuesdays is 10-12. On Sunday, typically 11 people join us live online, with many more taking part in by watching later on. 

During the summer we studied The Psalms in a six week diversion from our normal

lectionary readings. 

## **Our Home** 

Overall, the building remains “at risk” on the National Heritage Register, and is likely to do so for some time. Work has commenced on some of the Priority One repairs, but some remain. Other items are also pressing - it has been recommended that we replace the heating boilers in the church as these keep failing, and being so old (two are over 30 years old) are very inefficient compared to modern boilers. Although we have toilets, they are not accessible to people in a wheelchair. The Quinquennial Inspection details a number of urgent works, and improvement needs such as to the electrical supply. Additionally, the roof over the main kitchen is failing, and the windrow protection grill on the west window will soon need replacing. 

A catastrophic failure of our internet connection, and a very poor response from our previous supplier, led to a new internet connection, a change in supplier and a new “cloud based” telephone system which now seems to be running without any intervention from ourselves. However, it is worth remembering that the new system does allow significant flexibility and the church should keep under review how the phones are answered. A large number of calls still end up being diverted to the answering machine. A short trial of using an answering service was discontinued because of the high cost of answered calls. 

Hiring of the hall and the rear of the church are a significant source of funding. The lighting in the Old Hall was upgraded to low energy LED lights, but work is still needed at the rear of church to complete the re-lamping and the PCC also needs to be mindful over the state of the floor; in the rear of the church it is wearing badly and the tiles are coming loose. Across the whole church there is a lack of insulation across the floor. An asbestos survey needs to be undertaken as well. 

The electricity across the site is 100% renewable, generated from the Hornsea One windfarm, about 20 miles from the Yorkshire coast. Heating controls were updated for the church and monitoring installed for the Hall, Lounge and rear of church. 

## **Our Neighbours** 

The church remains prominent in the community and bookings of private use have continued to increase. 

Over the course of the year, the demand for the free meal on a Saturday night has remained. Over 350 hot meals were provided on Christmas Eve, and we continued our partnership with MLSS with a similar provision on a Wednesday lunchtime. Over the cold months of winter we hosted film nights, and in January we distributed Winter Warmth Packs with targeted assistance depending on an individual's circumstances. In particular, electric over blankets were provided to help alleviate the threat of hypothermia and address the poverty-inducing choice of “heating or eating”. 

Lunch Club stopped and we have tested a number of alternatives. The Soup Lunch on Tuesdays was sporadic and the Friday lunches fell into disarray as those attending brought their own food for cooking, and turned up at all different times - meaning considerable time 

**- 5 -** 



was spent just accommodating people who could cook their own food. The original idea, that those in the building would stop and eat together, was never realised.  We tested ”Tea and Toast” at school drop off times and whilst there was some interest, it was more from people passing by. We ran a similar pop up event at school pick up time which was considerably better attended and we will look at this again in 2025. 

Our 150th anniversary Family Fun Day was incredibly well attended by local people and the church, and feedback suggested this was an event we might want to run again. The Tuesday Summer Holiday club was less popular, with good attendance early on (when there is typically less available in the city for families) and attendance declining in August. We still need to reflect and learn from this. 

We continued to host Leicester Community Radio, Slimming World and the RCCG King of Glory worship in the Hall on Sunday morning. We welcomed pupils from a number of local schools including Sparkenhoe Primary, Uplands Infants, Highfields Primary, Madani and also Green Lane. The St Philips Centre also used the church as a base for a number of inter-faith school visits.  We visited The Jewish Orthodox Synagogue, and did some joint work with them over shared heritage. 

## **Ourselves** 

Worshipping communities continue to grow, albeit slowly, and some people join us and then move out of the area. We are always encouraged when people either choose to stay at St Peter’s, or we hear of how they have joined another church. 

Our main service on Sunday at 11am is a communion service. To be as inclusive as possible, we use communion wine that has been fermented from grapes and then had the alcohol removed so that it is suitable for all. We also meet on Tuesdays at 10am for communion, and online for Morning Prayer at 9.30 on Tuesday to Friday. 

Eight people were confirmed when Bishop Saju held a confirmation service at St Peter’s. Through winter up to Lent we ran a number of film nights with a Christian message. 

Rev Caroline was formally licensed as our Distinctive Deacon. 

We said farewell to Mr Glyne Kingsley Stuart, Samuel McKenzie Joseph, Joseph Emanuel Chrostopher, Mrs Mary Elizabeth Phillip, Mrs Mary Alberta Daniel, Mr Kehinde Olawale Oluwatayu Oshungbure, Mr Dennis Duncan Christopher, Mr Gary Douglas Vernon, Mr Gabriel O'Neil Barrow, Doreen Everitt, Mrs Janet Gordon, Tricia Nicolette Beazer, Mr Sterling Collington Forest, Emmanuel Evans Carter, James Alexander Chadwick, Michael James England and Rudolph Anthony Johnson.  May they all rest in peace, and rise in glory. 

## **Our Finances** 

For 2024, the PCC took the difficult decision to reduce the Parish Share given to the diocese. This was taken after much prayerful consideration, and a removal from the diocese of the support for our mission and administration work. Reflection included an examination of what the impact would be if we maintained the Parish Share, and what action we would need to take in order to set a balanced budget. The PCC had previously informed the 

**- 6 -** 



diocese of the difficulties that the church would face if the support was cut, and is particularly frustrating as the Diocese receives considerable support from the Church Commissioners to assist the most deprived parishes, of which St Peter’s in one. Our Parish Share for 2024 is offered as £800. 

## **Rector’s Recommendations** 

The Church needs to be aware of the lack of capacity - financially and personally and that this is a limiting factor in doing anything new. To that end it should continue to work to grow capacity and encourage church members and the local community to help. 

The church relies on grants to do much of its work and these may not always be available. Considerations should be given to fund raising for particular items and issues. One such issue might be the church heating. 

The building continues to need much love, care and affection (much like a person) but will also need some urgent maintenance works. In addition to the major works in the Quinquennial inspection, the PCC should be aware of the flooring in the rear of the church that will need work soon, and more people on the PCC should take an interest in the building maintenance. 

The church has gone through a number of testing times, and continues to do so. However, attentive prayer and a strong faith has always been rewarded in the past and I see no reason to change this approach. Prayerful discernment and reflection will show the path that God wants us to follow, and we should do so faithfully, even if others object. 

## **Deanery Synod**
