The Annual Report of the Sandringham Group of Churches
The Sandringham Group of Churches, within the West Norfolk Deanery of Heacham and Rising, consists of the churches at Appleton. Babingley. Castle
Rising, Flitcham, Hillington. Sandringham, West Newton and Wolferton. The churches at Appleton and Babingley are ruins and consequentially not
used. Four of the Parishes are part of the Royal Estate and have His Majesty the King as their Patron. The Patron of Castle Rising is Lord Howard and
Hillington has as its Patron Edward Dawtkay.
During 2024 we have continued to implement the Rertor's Reflection5 as detailed in last year's report.
Tansy Castledine began her work in consulting with our congregations and local musicians in order to make recommendation5 to improve and
strengthen our musical life. We look forward to her report.
Wewelcomed Bishop Graham to Hillington on Sunday 15th December for Confirtnation. We have had several people during the year who have recently
joined our churches who want to be confirtned.
We completed the training of our first cohort of Authorized Worship Assistants who will assist the Rector in conducting worship within the
Sandringham Group. Eventually, it is hoped to have eight trained people who will be able to officiate at Morning and Evening Prayer. planning and
leading Fatnily Worship.
During the year the Rector was assisted by the Rev'd Bob Nicho15, the Rev'd Catherine Williams, Mrs Sally Stanton as Reader, eleven Churchwardens.
and 5 PCCS.
The Parochial Church Council
Each church has its own Parochial Church Council whose members meet regularly to discuss outreach. hear of Deanery and Diocesan events, plan
building maintenance, budget for their activities and explore ways of helping people to know of God's love for them.
Gift Aid
All our churches use the gift aid scheme.
Safeguarding
We have a Group Safeguarding Officer who is responsible for ensuring that all PCC tnembers and church volunteers are aware of their safeguarding
responsibilities and the procedures in place. During the year DBS checks were carried out on all PCC members and online training programmes were
undertaken.

The Mu5icTeam
The choir continues to give loyal and committed service regularly each week. at choir rehearsals, weekly church services and the extra services during
Christmas & Lent.
During the year a number of probationers were made up to full chorister, singing alongside senior choristers and adult members.
We are very fortunate to have a choir that give of theirtime so freely and also the support of choir parents who often attend services, thereby increasing
the numbers in the congregation.
Local Schools
The church is closely linked with and involved in the two local Church of England schools (the Sandringham and West Newton Church of England
Primary School and Flitcham Primary School, which are both part of DNEA T). The Rector is on the Governing Body.
Weekly Collective Worship and regular termly services aFe held at each school along with pupils visiting both churches.
Our new Executive Head Teacher, Mrs Catherine King, began in September. Catherine was the Assistant Head and therefore was able to take up the
reins very quickly and effectively. Fortuitously as we had a SIAMS Inspection of Flitcham SLhool in the first few weeks of September. A SIAMS
Inspection reports on the spiritual life of a school and whether it is fulfilling its role as a Church of England school. We are pleased to report that the
Inspector's comtnents were outstanding. Combined with the recent OFSTED report, we have two excellent schools who serve our pupils in body,
mind and spirit very well. So, one approach to religious education of children and young people can be made through the provision of After School
Clubs with our local schools. In the light of the closure of our Sunday School, the Rect(Jr is explnring this alongside other options.

During 2024 the red carpet in the pews was replaced. It ha5 achieved the aim of removing the threadbare look in the congregational pews without
altering the over-all effect. We also took the opportunity to clean the mosaic flooring and replace the squeaky floorboard at the lectern.
The church cleaning teatn met with an advisor from the Royal Palaces and checked their regime of cleaning and noted Some areas in need of
special attention.

Financial Review
The overall surplus was £61,866 (2023 - £20,665).
The Privy Purse donated £50,900 to the West Newton Roof (Restricted) Fund. accounting for most ofthe £52,119 added to the Roof Fund this year
[2023 - £2,718).
The Sandringhatn Visitors Account generated a surplus of £47.767 (2023 - £38,950]. Total alms of £24,955 were significantly higher than the
previous year (2023 - £14,048), the main increase being from credit card donations made using the digital giving device.
The C05t of Service5 £4,843 (2023 - £1.947) has risen significantly this year mainly due to charges lor replacement orEanists for both churches
(£1.520), costs to print service sheets and the books of Common Prayer gifted to Their Majesties.
During the year a deposit account was opened with CCLA. The total bank and cash balances at the end of 2024 were £144,178, of which £89,046
relates to restricted funds, so at the year-end £55,132 was available to fund ordinary activities [2023 - £38,977).
Reserves policy .
It is the PCC'S policy to maintain. if possible, a balance on unrestricted funds which equates to three months unrestricted payments. equivalent to
approximately £15,000, to cover etnergency situations that may arise from time to time. We currently hold a healthy cash balance of £55,132 on
unrestricted funds.
Organ Restoration Fund
The balance of £6.458 (2023 - £7,258) in the organ fund is retained to meet the costs of repairing, maintainin& and tuning the organ over the cotning
years.
Clock Fund
In 2019 the Warrant Holders, Association very kindly donated £8.160 for the installation of an Auto Clock Winder. The work was completed this
year and the final balance paid.
S. Michylmayr & Co Ltd will continue to monitor the clock and carry out servicing and repairs as required.
West Newton Project Fund
As mentioned above the fund received a significant donation in the year, and the balance is now £ 77,843.
The Quinquennial Report is due in 2025 so the roof will be inspected, and the expected cost (previously £200k) will be updated.
Action to identify grants to boost funds is undenvay to ensure that work on the most urgent repairs can be undertaken before any further
deterioration.
