Churches and Halls
Holy Trinity church is a modern building in Sandfields built in 2008 replacing the former church building on an adjacent site.
St Agnes’ church in the middle of town opened in 1907. It is a large plain church build in Lancet style to designs of architect F R Kempson of Cardiff. The stained glass includes works by Celtic Studios (1950 and 1967)
St Baglan’s church was a former school in Baglan becoming a church in 1958. It is unusual in that the building is owned by the ministry area. Next door is the School House which is also owned by the ministry area. The final service took place on Tuesday 30th April 2024.
St Catharine’s church in Baglan is a Grade 1 listed building built between 1875 and 1882, at the expense of Griffith Llewellyn. The church contains some unique BurneJones windows and mosaic floors manufactured by William Morris. The church is acknowledged to be one of the finest examples of Victorian Gothic Decorative in the UK.
There is a hall next to the church.
St David’s church in Margam was built in 1956 in red brick. The building consists of the church and adjoining hall. The hall is used by different church and community groups. The final service took place on Sunday 28th April 2024
St Mary’s church in Aberavon is a Grade II listed building. The first mention of a church on this site was in 1199. The medieval church was rebuilt in the Gothic style in 1858-59. The tower was added to around 1870, and the north aisle was added in 1898. The final service took place on Sunday 21st April 2024.
The St Mary’s Centre is located next to the church used for lots of children’s ministry and by others.
St Michael’s church, Cwmavon, is a grade II listed building. Listed primarily for the unusual tower of 17th century. The Elizabethan tomb-chest is of additional interest.
The hall is along the road from the church used extensively by Flying Start and other groups.
St Theodore’s church was designed by Pearson, it is the largest of his churches in Wales. It was built with financial assistance from Miss Emily Charlotte Talbot.
There are two halls on the site which are regularly hired.
St Paul’s Centre was built on the site of the former St Paul’s church hall in 2016. It provides community space with various rooms for hire by charities, community groups and businesses. It serves as one of the diocesan hub offices. There is a café at the heart of the building.

Review of the year
Lay Chair’s Report
Looking back on my report for 2023 I note that there were many positives as I recognised the work that went on during that year to bring the Ministry Area together with an identity and Vision. During 2024 it has been a blessing that this groundwork was done as 2024 has been a year of many challenges and difficult decisions.
The Ministry Area Council (MAC) met 7 times during the year and these were difficult meetings discussing our financial shortfalls and the challenges around our buildings.
We entered the year with a deficit on our contribution to the Diocese in 2023 of £69,000 and we finished the year with an additional deficit of £74,000 in 2024. Our Ministry Area Treasurer and the local church treasurers have worked very hard during the year to give MAC members the information needed to understand and manage the situation which is not ideal.
The closure of St Mary’s, St Baglan’s, and St David’s in April were consequential events in our community and distressing to all concerned. MAC members felt the responsibility of these events greatly.
Our financial difficulties continue and a lot of MAC time was taken up discussing the new mechanism for payment to the Diocese. Instead of “Fairer Share” we were invited to “pledge” our contribution to a “Common Fund” for the Diocese in 2025. For 2025 we are now optimistic that we will achieve what we have pledged and not increase our deficit.
I would like to thank our MAC members and members of our Finance Committee for the largely unseen and often very difficult work they undertake on behalf of us all.
With so much change and adversity it is good to remember why we do what we do. As Christians we are called on to share the good news of our faith and it was put to me recently that we do this “because of what God has done for us in Jesus Christ.” Simple really.
Therefore it is wonderful to forget the challenges and remember that so much good work goes on in the Ministry Area and so many lay volunteers give their time to add to the ministry of our clergy team. I hope in 2025 we will focus even more on the work that matters to our communities.
In February the clergy team was strengthened with the arrival of our Curate the Reverend Lizzy Tremble. Lizzy has been focussed in St Agnes but you will meet her in the other churches from time to time. In December, we welcomed Bishop Mary to St Agnes for Lizzy’s ordination – a very joyful occasion. I must also mention the holiday club held for six Tuesdays in St Mary’s Centre during the Summer school holidays. Lizzy masterminded these events and ran them with help from Diocesan workers and volunteers from across the Ministry Area. Hard work for all but the reward for volunteers was the joy that these events gave to so many children.
For 2025, let us focus on that joy that we gain in working together in Jesus’ name.

Ministry Area Leader’s Report
The year began with the difficult decision regarding the closure of 3 churches and creating a different focus for Holy Trinity church. This was a devastating decision for many as they have had to change where they worship, sometimes after many decades. It wasn’t taken lightly but was felt to be a necessary one to enable the Ministry Area to put more emphasis on mission and ministry rather than on maintenance.
The clergy team has changed, Mthr Ceri had left in November 2023 and we had had the news that Rev Geoff would be retiring in mid January. Then in February we welcomed a new curate, Lizzy Tremble as she began a second curacy with us, bringing Joseph along with her. These changes along with the closure of St Mary’s required some redeployment, I’m grateful to Fr Miles for being willing to relocate and take pastoral responsibility for St Catharine’s and St Michael’s.
As a clergy team we have sought to build on the existing foundations of the team by doing some work with the Diocesan Director of Ministry and Discipleship looking at how we function as a team, that we might be more effective in leading Port Talbot Ministry Area. There were some personal joys for the team, Fr Miles entered into a civil partnership with Kyle and the year ended with the priesting of Rev Lizzy. We remember with thanks the ministry of Terry Doherty, Keith Andrews and Richard Hanford, faithful priests who passed away in 2024, may they rest in peace. My thanks to my colleagues, past and present.
We have shared in some joint ventures as a Ministry Area in the year, January saw St
Agnes hosting Dougie Dug Dug who came and performed his Christmas Bubble Show. Lots of children came along from across the Ministry Area to hear the story of Christmas but also to see hundreds of bubbles, some small, others big enough for a child to be inside.
In the summer there was the Holiday Club which was truly a joint venture with volunteers from all churches coming along to entertain the children for several hours once a week. The Family Fun Day at Holy Trinity also had people from across the Ministry Area supporting that to welcome Sandfields into the church.
There are so many people who contribute to the mission and ministry of all that we do, financially and with their time and energy, their skills and talents, enabling us all to serve the people of Port Talbot, meeting their practical needs with food or clothing or toys, as well as being there in times of crisis and of joy, and showing them the love of God in Christ Jesus. Thank you to all, may God bless you and may God bless the town of Port Talbot.

St Agnes’ Church
January always brings the joy of celebrating the patronal festival of the church, as we join together to share in commemorating Saint Agnes, a young woman who chose to maintain her virginity for Christ rather than marry which resulted in her martyrdom. Her witness and faithfulness being an example for all of us to follow as we too seek to be disciples of Christ. The faithful gathered for mass and then for lunch as we remembered the witness of the church of St Agnes for over 100 years.
Shrove Tuesday brought about the fun of a quiz night, the testing of memories and the eating of pancakes. Several quizzes were held throughout the year, rivalries coming to the fore between the two teams from St Theodore’s as they fought to win the title – a tiny trophy has been bought to give to the winning team. Though this rivalry was defeated by a St Agnes team at the final quiz of the year. Thanks to David out quiz master who brings a wonderful set of questions each time.
We kept Ash Wednesday marking our mortality and sinful nature but with the assurance of Jesus being alongside us as one who had been tempted. This was also the day that Rev Lizzy joined the Ministry Area as curate, she is based in St Agnes
with Fr Michael. Stations of the Cross happened on Wednesday evenings throughout Lent and Lent lunches of soup, cheese and rolls were a Thursday lunchtime feature for many, thanks go to all who prepared things.
It was a great pleasure to welcome Fr Andrew Tweed to St Agnes on 1[st] July to celebrate the ruby anniversary of his priesting. He has had a very long connection with St Agnes, he said that it feels like his home so returning was an obvious choice to mark this wonderful occasion. We were joined with other priests who have shared in his journey over the past 40 years. Fr Edward Dowding, former vicar of Holy Trinity, was the preacher for the evening. After the concelebrated mass we joined together for refreshments in the north aisle.
In October Rev Lizzy organised for the church to be open specifically for those who had suffered the loss of a baby, whether that was a recent loss or from many years ago. A few came to church to spend some time in prayer, while others contacted her via Facebook to ask for prayers to be said. The need for people to express their pain and grief remains throughout their lifetime and we hope that we can be a place where that grief is acknowledged.

October was also when we gave thanks for the Harvest. It was good that people came to the Sunday service bringing with them food for Port Talbot Food Bank, a sadly necessary part of society for those who are in such financially difficult situations, and donations for Water Aid to support the work of providing clean water and sanitation to the lots of communities around the world who still lack such basic provisions for everyday life. Fr Michael then provided us all with a cooked lunch.
November was the arrival of the Christmas Fete in St Agnes. There were lots of stalls in church selling a variety of crafts, bric-a-brac, cards. A grand raffle, bottle stall, gave opportunity to try your luck and win a prize. A model railway to admire. We did not go hungry with burgers, hot dogs, mulled wine, tea/ coffee, and not forgetting the turkey rolls. All told, given the awful weather that day, there were lots of people and over £1,500 raised for the funds.
The St Agnes’ Circle met regularly throughout the year for a chance to share together with each other, listening to interesting speakers on a variety of topics.
Mike Howe had been the Subwarden for a number of years as well as being the sacristan and server for many years made the difficult decision to step away from these duties during 2024, he leaves a large gap to be filled. We thank him for his years
of dedicated service to St Agnes. Susan Hann taking on the role of Subwarden at the vestry meeting in April and has grown into the role as the year has progressed.
Christmas was a busy period with the usual services including the Carol Service on Christmas Eve when the church was full, welcoming people to share in the good news of the birth of Jesus, listening to the story and singing carols announcing his birth. Christmas Day was celebrated as usual. Christmas cards were shared on the noticeboard with donations sent to Dewis in lieu of sending lots of cards to one another. Throughout December the memorial tree was available for anyone to add any names to as a way to remember the sadness of loss in the midst of celebration and fun. By the end of Christmas over 300 names had been added to the tree.
We hosted the ordination of Rev Lizzy to the priesthood on 21[st] December. We welcomed Bishop Mary, her chaplain and other visiting clergy, family and friends to St Agnes to rejoice as Lizzy became a priest in God’s Church. A journey for her that has not been an easy or straightforward one. A buffet after the ordination was enjoyed by all present as befits the catering at St Agnes.

St Mary’s Church
2024 for St Mary’s, Aberavon has been a year of strong and very mixed emotions. We were blessed with a number of well attended (and very well catered!) community lunches. Thanks must go to all who worked really hard to make these events go with the usual St Mary’s aplomb.
Of course, the life of St Mary’s in 2024 was marked by the announcement, in January, of the necessity of bringing the church building to a point of closure. In spite of our sorrow at this, we kept a good Lent. Lent saw the usual extra service of following Jesus’ footsteps to the cross with Stations each week. We kept a full Holy Week with Holy Trinity, including a complete (and well attended) Triduum.
The celebration of Easter in 2024 certainly brought to us a different insight to the nature of death and resurrection. As we moved towards our final Sunday as a worshipping community gathered at St Mary’s, we took the time to celebrate the faithful witness of countless generations who had gone before us. On Easter IV (21[st] April 2024), we met for the final time to celebrate the Eucharist at St Mary’s with excellent fellowship after the service.
Fr Miles notes, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the whole congregation at St Mary’s. The unforced, natural openness and welcome of the people of St Mary’s made my first incumbent post a true joy. You have challenged me and built me up as a priest. It has been a true privilege to share just over three years with you all. I could not have asked for a better community to serve as a priest. Thank you.
Activities have continued throughout the year in the St Mary’s Centre, with lots of people coming through the door. Towards the end of the year we were able to secure a grant which covered the cost of changing most of the windows and the entrance door in the centre improving the security and the warmth of the centre for all who use it.
We continue to provide basic items for those with a baby who struggle to fund all that comes with very young children. We are grateful to all who donate items so that they can go on to have another life, reducing the cost to new parents and reducing the waste we produce as a society, all going to benefit everyone.

centre as a way of raising some much needed income to sustain the work of the centre. Food is prepared and sold along with the rental of tables for those who wish to sell items.
In the summer St Mary’s Centre was the host for the Ministry Area Children’s Holiday Club. Each Tuesday through the school holidays the centre was filled with 25+ children and volunteers from across all the churches, supported by the Diocesan Young Faith Matters team. The overall theme for the club was the Olympics with different activities and a theme each week. The speed at which it was booked up meant we had a waiting list and children didn’t want to leave at the end of each session. Thoughts soon turned to summer 2025 once September arrived.
PATs, parents and toddlers, is still thriving in the centre. Open for two sessions on a Monday and on a Thursday. A really useful place for people to bring young children giving them space to play with others and for adults to join together and find some support. PATs was delighted to receive a donation to enable the purchase of a new climbing frame and some bikes for the children.
They had a number of parties through the year, notably one at Halloween with lots of fancy dress and dancing and food. The children (and some adult help) put on a nativity towards the end of December telling the story of the birth of Jesus, dressed in fabulous costumes, they sang and some read. Thanks to Matthew for his accompaniment on the keyboard.
There are some groups which make use of the centre by renting the hall on a regular basis but always room for more. Each month there is a table top sale in the

St Catharine’s Church
2024 has been another year of change for St. Catharine’s Church. At the end of April some churches closed within the Ministry Area, St. Baglan’s being one of them.
However, on a more positive note we welcomed many new faces to our congregation including Fr Tony DeRoy Jones and his wife Dorothy.
Then at the end of May Fr Miles joined us as our permanent vicar, and we look to the future with joy as he takes us forward in our spiritual journey.
Sadly we mourned many of our cherished members of the congregation and local community. We also continue to pray for those who have under gone operations and those who are still receiving treatment.
It has been a year of many baptisms and some weddings. We look forward to a number of confirmations being conducted on 23[rd] January 2025.

Messy Church is held on the last Friday of every month 4pm - 6pm in St Catharine’s Church hall and the first Sunday of every month in Holy Trinity 5pm – 7pm. Once again thank you to the team who ensures these events happen.
This year’s Summer lunch was to commemorate 80 years of WWII D Day landings and the menu was fit for a king.
July 13[th] was another successful summer fete and famous duck race.
There has been another full events calendar starting with six weeks of Lent lunches on 16[th] February. Many attended the Easter Friends Reunited Eucharist and afternoon tea. Our Easter journey ended with an Easter Outdoor Service and an Easter egg hunt which were all well attended including many from the local
We also had various fund raising events to aid our church funds and other organisations such as Christian Aid, Blythswood Care Shoebox Appeal and MacMillan. Each week we receive donations for the Food bank.
Thanks to the Events committee for all their hard work, to ensure all these happen.
Our festive season has been a very special time, in addition to the Christmas services; we had a Friends Reunited

Eucharist and afternoon tea, Outdoor Carol Service around the Christmas tree with refreshments. There was a well attended Crib Service who welcomed various characters dressed in nativity costumes and Father Christmas who also visited the Tea & Chat party.
As we reflect on the last few weeks of advent and the birth of our Saviour may we look with HOPE, the Prophecy candle as it represents God’s forgiveness of our sins. PEACE, the Bethlehem candle which reflects the joy of Mary and Joseph at our Christ’s birth. JOY, the Shepherd’s candle the joy felt at the birth of Christ and the joy anticipating His return. LOVE, is the angel’s candle which symbolises the love that Christ brings and the gift of love that Jesus is.
We give thanks to the Flower Guild who decorate the church with beautiful displays throughout the church calendar.
We thank God for His love and for the gift of Jesus, and we pray God will help us show love to all those around us.
Thanks also to our organist, church choir, verger, treasurer, churchyard and church hall team, bell ringers, welcoming team, cleaners and to all those who keep the church open.
All maintenance is duly adhered to, as and when required, this also incorporates the routine servicing. The Church hall lights have all been replaced with LED lights.
This year the Church hall was inspected by a Neath Port Talbot CBC Food Inspector where we were given a 4 star rating. Some of the kitchen team achieved Level 2 & 3 in Food Hygiene.
We are also pleased to report that the hall continues to be booked by the local community on a regular basis.
15
St David’s Church
A promising year started although cold and we had to use the hall for worship. We had our Christingle service on the nearest Sunday to Candlemas. By February the news broke about St David’s future. However, we celebrated for the last time the feast of title and our Lenten journey and Easter was indeed poignant. We were able to donate 48.2 Kg of food to the foodbank.
During the Easter season we welcomed Bishop Mary who came and preached at a Friday mass. On Friday 26[th] , before our last mass, we offered a requiem mass for all whose funerals had been celebrated and all connected with the life of St David’s. On Saturday we opened the church for local people to come and visit and share memories.
On Sunday 28[th] April we celebrated the last Sunday Mass with a packed church, it was a deeply moving and humbling occasion with people travelling from far and wide to be present. We were joined by parishioners from the Abbey and St Theodore’s who came and supported the
faithful of St David’s. In true St David’s style fellowship was offered in abundance, stories and memories were shared and this included a book of memories that will be kept and revisited in the future as we reflect on the many, many good times. The tabernacle was emptied, the bell rung for the last time and we left the place that had once been our home, with thanksgiving in our hearts and tinged with sadness.
16
St Baglan’s Church
The year began much the same as recent years have begun with regular worship on a Tuesday morning, the day we keep ‘Sunday’. The faithful 20 plus people gathering to worship together around the Lord’s table sharing in the Eucharist and then gathering together for tea and coffee and biscuits, a great time of fellowship.
The announcement that St Baglan’s would be closing after Easter came as a huge blow to the congregation. We all felt that we had suffered the bereavement of a close friend or family member. An alternative option was explored but sadly to no avail.
others struggled to make a decision. The very end of April saw our final service in St Baglan’s, Revs Steve and Elaine Jenkyns were able to be with us as we marked the end of an era. A sad time for all concerned.
As the weeks passed the news sank in and slowly became a reality. We agreed that if it were to close then we should go out with a party. Arrangements were put in place for a lunch to happen towards the end of April and invitations to clergy who had recently served in St Baglan’s were sent out. Rev Ceri was able to join us for the lunch.
Thanks were offered for all who had worshipped in St Baglan’s over the years, all who had ministered and cared for the church. We marked this in a particular way, a gift voucher, for Colin Lewis who had done so much over the last couple of years to sustain St Baglan’s church.
People put some thought into where they might worship after the church closes, some came a decision fairly quickly whilst
17
St Michael’s Church
January 2024 saw Rev Geoff’s leave us. We said goodbye to him with a special evensong at St Michael’s followed by a bring and share buffet. The service was well attended by the MA and we were able to wish Rev Geoff well for the future. As a result of Rev Geoff leaving us, we were very pleased to see Fr Michael return to take our services and lead us in our worship.
In January we also held our Christingle service and the service of ‘Prayer for Christian Unity’ which was once again held at St Michael’s (we were joined by CYTUN for this service).
Holy Week saw us take part in the MA services along with the Stations of the Cross service at St Phillip Evans which also involved CYTUN. We also worked with our local school on ‘Experience Easter’ which was a great success and thoroughly enjoyed by the staff and pupils who attended.
In May we held ‘Experience Pentecost’ sessions with the local school which was again thoroughly enjoyed by all who were present. Our Whitsun service was once again held outside the library followed with a combined tea at the local Community Engagement Centre. Fr Miles joined us to lead our services at the end of May and we offered him a very warm welcome and expressed out deep gratitude to Fr Michael for his leadership over the last few months.
September saw us celebrate Michaelmas with a service in church on Sunday morning, followed by a village party in the afternoon in the Community Engagement Centre.
In October a pet service was held in the memorial garden. Although attendance at the service wasn’t huge it was very much appreciated by the pet owners who were there, and it was agreed that it would be repeated in 2025.
Also in October, Fr Miles lead a small work party to tackle the growth at Pantdu cemetery – the ‘Forth Bridge’ comes to mind!
18
November saw us hold a special service for all churches/chapels in the village for ‘All Souls Day’ which was very much appreciated by all who attended. Our usual Remembrance Day service was held, and we were joined by the Sea Cadets and the local Squirrels group for the service.
During the autumn caps/hats and a ‘ton’ of chocolates were collected to give to the Seafarers to help keep these brave men warm and give them energy in difficult situations.
Our Christmas services included a combined carol service at the Rock Chapel, 9 lessons & carols in church, a crib service and Midnight mass.
Many of our ladies are Deanery MU members and continue to support many events in our diocese/deanery.
The Sewing Class continues to meet in members houses as we have since Covid. We started the year with knitwear for Ukraine which was repeated when there was a lull between other projects. Baby Basics was the next venture. Assorted knitwear from cardigans to cot blankets.
Dementia Uk received Twiddle Muffs for their appeal. Then, back to blankets for Singleton Hospital and Baby Basics. Church members who went to the WI
joined the sewing class in these ventures for which we are very grateful. Thank you. Caps for The Mission to Seafarers was our final effort for the year.
The Monday Morning Men have kept up their duties in 2024. This small band of men from Men’s Society meet most Monday mornings and busy themselves with keeping things in and around the church in good order.
Shown is a photo of the Memorial Garden when the trees were in blossom. It looks really lovely despite them having to battle the very wet weather we have been experiencing.
Gentlemen, you have our applause and thanks for all your very hard word. They are usually rewarded with coffee and Welsh cakes!
Another busy year, looking forward to seeing what next year brings.

Holy Trinity Church
Regular Sunday worship continued as the year commenced, with the faithful few joining together at 10 am for mass. It was challenging when we had the announcement from the MAC that the 10 am service would be stopping and that there would be a different pattern for Holy Trinity after Easter.
The news was extremely difficult to accept, that after so many years and after building a new church not so many years ago, it felt like it had all been for nothing, had the time and energy and money been wasted on construction of a new building.
The regular worship continued through Lent, with Holy Week being shared with the Ministry Area and especially St Mary’s for the triduum. Easter Sunday was celebrated and then Easter 2 was at the new time of 5 pm.
The plan was for Holy Trinity to become a focus for outreach into the Sandfields Estate rather than the primary focus to be worship, although worship would continue. A pattern of services was proposed with a variety of styles of worship happening at 5 pm on Sundays instead of Sunday mornings. This would include Messy Church, Eucharist, Café, and Taize.
Alongside of this worship lots of events were organised for adults and for children during the second half of the year. These kicked off with a Family Fun Day in August, free to all, with different activities including a bouncy castle, fake tattoos, hot dogs, ice creams, hook a duck, bracelets. Support came from across the Ministry Area to put this day on and funding from the Diocese meant that over 100 people came across the threshold.
Other events were a harvest supper which was well attended by both those new to Holy Trinity and those with a long connection. There was a couple of parties for children and an adults craft session.
20
The last event of the year was Carols and Cocktails, a chance to enjoy a glass of something, answer some questions about carols, and of course sing all those favourite Christmas carols.
Messy church has fluctuated in attendance over the months but with a base of children coming along. The Taize service hasn’t landed particularly well, so for the new year the pattern will alter to include Eucharist twice a month.
Plans have also been put together to begin offering the CAP Money Course from Holy Trinity, helping people to get their finances into a better situation. Beginning the first week of the new year Holy Trinity will be hosting a Food Pantry, run in conjunction with Baobab Bach who run a number of food pantries in South Wales. People are able to join for £1 and
can then buy a large bag of food for £5 each week from a range of fresh, chilled, frozen and ambient foods supplied partly by FareShare and from supermarkets.
All of these are aiming to make Holy Trinity a building that is known by the community, a church that is serving the community where it is hurting and in need.
21
St Theodore’s Church
2024 was a challenging year, but there is much to give thanks for, new things happening and signs of growth! In January we had our Christingle Service, where we see our links with our uniformed organisations flourish. It was a privilege for us to hold the inauguration service for the new Archdeacon of Margam and we welcomed people from across the diocese. We marked Lent with usual events and ran a successful Lent course, the Bread of Life. Easter was again a glorious season, this year five candidates were presented for confirmation and it was a joy to welcome back Bishop Rowan Williams.
We held successful Big Breakfast for Christian Aid and a second local pilgrimage, to St Catharine’s via, St Agnes, St Mary’s and Holy Trinity. Sadly, the weather was not so kind to us for the vicarage garden party and for the first time it had to be held in the hall. But, despite the weather, it didn’t prevent us from having a lovely afternoon.
Several of us made pilgrimage to Glastonbury, where Fr Ben gave the homily at Benediction, we enjoyed the South Wales Pilgrimage to Walsingham. Two young pilgrims joined the Walsingham Youth Pilgrimage, we are
passionate about nurturing the friendships forged over those five days and have enjoyed several trips to St Saviour’s in Splott to meet up through the year. We made it to Penrhys and the Assumption celebrations in Cardiff. For Corpus Christi we welcomed people from across the diocese and Fr Richard Green as preacher.
The Summer and Autumn fayres were profitable where we were able to show off our splendid church. The summer had a piece of artwork created by Central Primary School on display and a family fun afternoon ending with the traditional water fight.
In September, we celebrated our feast of title and welcomed the bishop of Oswestry as our preacher which was followed by a super lunch. We celebrated St Francis day with the blessing of Pets. Harvest saw a packed church and we enjoyed a fabulous lunch and fellowship. The normal events around remembrance Sunday took place and we invited the families of those whose funerals we had celebrated in the last year to a memorial service.
22
Advent was a busy time with guest preachers and lots of school and other concerts including Cockwells memorial carol service. People attended our nine lessons with people from the local community.
We established our Bible study group and held our first FAST, an informal act of worship followed by fellowship for the young (and not so young). We were blessed to welcome Matthew as new organist, he is a huge asset to our worship which is central to what we do. We have been blessed having Philip Burman on placement. He has been a great bonus to us bringing so many gifts and talents, he will be greatly missed when he is ordained.
The halls are well used with lots of different groups. Our partnership Dementia café celebrated its second birthday. We are grateful to all the volunteers who make the community shop and café work and to the friendly bar staff. A new defib was fitted given by Jan Parry in memory of her husband Keith which the community shop paid to fit. We have a growing Sunday school that meets monthly and joins in with Mass each week with resources and activities to keep them engaged and learning about the Gospel. The work is displayed and shared through our social media. We firmly believe children are 100% part of the church as we work to improve our provision.
We also run a successful Youth Club each Friday for 7–12 year olds to engage in fellowship with one another and build on relationships with Fr Ben and volunteers. We offer activities through the year including crafts for Easter and Christmas, Christmas the Experience and Easter the Experience which are always well attended with 2024’s Christmas the Experience enjoyed by over 200 local children. In October we launched our Change for church jars and by the end of the year we already raised £377.00. Through the year we donated 1,134.4 Kg to the foodbank.
The Mothers’ Union had 24 members of which 5 were indoor members. Throughout the year there were lots of different speakers covering lots of different topics. A highlight was celebrating the 100[th] birthdays of Gwenfron Picken and Kath Morris who both worked at Bletchley Park during WWII.
We are blessed with so many people who exercise various ministries and roles, Matthew and the choir, the flower team, servers, readers, welcomers, cleaners, tea makers, catering volunteers, gardeners, our grass cutter Matt and everyone who makes such a difference. Thank you to our retired clergy who step in and help and support. Finally, a huge thank you to everyone for their support in 2024!

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Members of the Ministry Area Council
I report on the financial statements of the Port Talbot Ministry Area accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are set out in the following pages.
Respective responsibilities of Ministry Area Council and Examiner
As the Ministry Area Council, you are responsible for preparing the Financial Statements. You consider that the audit requirements of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) do not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Ministry Area Council and a comparison of the Financial Statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the Financial Statements and seeking explanations from you as Ministry Area Council members concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the Financial Statements.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act and
-
to prepare Financial Statements which accord with the accounting records and
-
to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the Financial Statements to be reached.
