The Churches ofsandringham & West Newton Annual Report & Financial Statements 2025 The Annual Report of the Sandringham Group of Churches The Sandringham Group ofchurches. within the WestNorfolk DeaneryofHeacham and Rising, consists of the churches atAppleton, Babingley, Castle Risin& Flitcham, Hillington, Sandringham, West Newton and Wolferton. The churches at Appleton and Babingley are ruins and consequentially not used for public worship. Four of the churches are part ofthe Royal Estate and have His Majesty the King as their Patron. The Patron ofCa5tle Rising is Lord Howard, and the Patron of Hillington is Edward Dawnay. During 2025 we have continued to implement the Rector's Reflections Report of October 2023. A report on the musical provision across the group was received and reviewed by a PCC Working Party and we look forward to implementing the recommendations in 2026 to improve, strengthen and broaden our musical life. We have continued with the training ofour Authorized Worship Assistants and now have 3 people to assist the Rector in conducting worship within the Sandringham Group. It is hoped to train Communion Assistants to minister with the Rector during the Eucharist. During the year the Rertor was assisted by the Rev'd Bob Nichols, the Rev'd Catherine Williams, the Venerable Jenny Rowley, Mrs Sally Stanton as Reader, Mike Jillings, Fiona Petch and Sue Fletcher as Authorised Worship Assistants. 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. Hillington During 2025, Hillington Parish Church was closed for public worship on safety grounds following two significant plaster falls from the ceiling. Hillington PCC has been active behind the scenes and several meetings with the Diocesan advisors, committees and grant makers have taken place. Occasional worship gatherings in the Old Rectory have taken place and carol singing around the village have dernonstrated that the church is very much living and active in the parish. Building on Hillington's success in providing a Cake Stall in the grounds of Si Mary Magdalene during the summer holiday period 2024, a similar event took place in August 2025 and proved financially very successful and provided an opportunity for mission. It is hoped that a similar event might take place in 2026 wilh lessons learnt from the previous years. Gift Aid All our churches use the gift aid schetne.
The Churches of Sandringham & West Newton Annual Report & Financial Statements 2025 The Annual Report of the Sandringham Group of Churches (continued) Safeguarding We have a Group Safeguarding Officer who is responsible for ensuring that all PCC members and church volunteers are aware of their safeguarding responsibilities and the procedures in place. During the year a safeguarding issue was reported to the Officer, who, along with assistance from the Diocese, investigated the matter and made some recommendations to strengthen our procedures. Following a later cornplaint to the Diocese this was investigated again, independently, and the complaint dismissed. This incident was reported, with consentand agreement ofthe PCC members, to the Charities Comrnission to ensure compliance. The Charities Commission also concluded that the correct forrn ofaction had been taken and as a PCC we had correct procedures, led by our Safeguarding Officer, in place to keep our interested parties informed and safe. DBS checks continued to be carried out on all new PCC members and those involved in regulated activities and online training programmes undertaken. The Music Team The Director of Music resigned during the year,. however, the choir continued singing at most of the services and the remaining members have been supported through the year by local organists and choir leaders. Our thanks to all those who have given their time and energy to ensure that the music within the church has continued and developed. As mentioned above we are looking forward to actioning the exciting changes recommended by the Working Party's review of the Report following the Music Consultation. Local Schools The church i.s closely linked with and involved in the two Incal Church nfF.ngland schools (the Sandringham and West Newton Church of England Primary School and FlitchaTn Primary School, which are both part of DNEAT (Diocese of Norwich Education & Academies Trust)). The Rector is on the Governing Body. Weekly Collective Worship and regular term time services are held at each school, along with pupils visiting both churches. Since the closure ofthe Sunday School the Head Teacher and the Rector are exploringways through an after-schools club/choir club to continue Christian nurture. It is intended that music and singing will play an important part in our outreach to the local community.

The Sandringham Visitors Account generated a surplus of£47,982 (2024- £47,767). Alms from Visitors were £7,872 lowerthan in 2024, however this has been partially offset by the increased protit on sales {up £2,650) and this year has also benefitted from Gift Aid recovered of £2,643. The surplus on the Visitors Account has helped offsetthe losses on the Parish Accounts which totalled £44,564 (2024- £33,817). Sandringham Parish benefitted from an increase in interest received of £2,351, a result of the larger balance held on deposit throughout the year.

Reserves policy It is the Pcc's policy to rnaintain, if possible. a balance on unrestricted funds which equates to three months unrestricted payments, equivalent to approximately £20,000, to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. We currently hold a healthy cash balance of£58,287 on unrestricted funds. Significant additional expenditure is planned for 2026 which will reduce this balance including cleaning and repairing windows in St Mary Magdalene, repairs to roof and clock at St Peter & St Paul, and the recruitment of a Church and Community Music Leader. Window Restricted Fund During the year the Fabric Committee identified 2 damaged windows in the church.
