An introduction and overview from Canon Chris, Ministry Area Leader
2024 always promised to be a very busy and challenging year of change and so it proved to be. Following the largest reconstruction of church governance since the reformation, or indeed perhaps the Norman conquest, we faced a raft of administration that we had to understand and process.
For the ministry area clergy team, our first major concern was to fulfil our commitment to support the former parish of Oystermouth until the arrival of our third vicar in the ministry area. With the kind help of Father Robert and Archdeacon Jonathan, we upheld our commitment to maintain completely the pattern of services until that happened.
Canon Hugh joined us at the end of Lent and we welcomed him into our well-established and functioning ministry area clergy team and onto the ministry area council, which has continued to set the pace and forge ahead with the implementation of the Bishop‘s charter to bring the three former parishes together. It never fails to amuse me that, as people talk about their fears of change, we are simply going back to how things were 100 or so years ago, that is, to the old parish of Oystermouth.
As well as maintaining our churches’ traditional services, we have had to discuss and agree a working plan. We have also set up the first charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) in the Church in Wales. Under this, the three former parishes (two of which were already charities in their own right) were brought together and their assets merged. All of our church buildings and our church halls and property are now held in the Mumbles ministry area CIO and are under the governance of the ministry area council, who are legal trustees. This was an enormous and momentous undertaking and, in doing so, I wish to personally record my gratitude to all involved and especially Stuart Batcup (chair of the property sub-committee), Bob Wigley (chair) and Zoё Gilbert (our administrator), who have together worked so hard to get this done.
We are incredibly fortunate to have such a rich variety of people working together in the ministry area. Our trustees blend wisdom and experience as well as youth and energy. It is no small task to be responsible for five churches, four church halls and a house, together with all the bank accounts and historic trusts that come with them. Having said that, we are in good shape compared with other diocesan ministry areas, whose portfolios can often include twenty churches, as well as other buildings and bank accounts.
We are well blessed here by the proximity and indeed homogeneity of our ministry area, which provides such a solid base for us to grow together, pooling our resources and sharing our challenges.
My greatest joy has been witnessing and hearing the comments of people at shared services and events celebrating how good it is to know fellow Christians from across the ministry area and not just their own church. But then, as the Bishop says, there is far more that unites us than divides us. All we are doing is joining together Christians from neighbouring churches with the same liturgy, belief and sociological background.
When we have done this, we will be at the very beginning of being able to fulfil the commission given us by our Saviour Jesus Christ, namely to go out as a family and share his unconditional love, which unites all people of all denominations, beliefs and all backgrounds. It was by doing this that the early church turned the Roman Empire upside down, as it broke down every barrier by proclaiming Christ’s love displayed on the cross. “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28)
Rev Canon Chris Darvill -Mumbles ministry area leader
Aim and purposes
For the public benefit, the advancement of religion in accordance with the doctrine, practices beliefs and worship of the Church in Wales from time to time, including by promoting in the Ministry Area the whole mission of the Church in Wales, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.
Objectives and activities
In line with the priorities of the Diocese of Swansea and Brecon, of which it is a part, the Mumbles ministry area is continually working towards ensuring that all that we do facilitates an encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ.
In planning our activities, one of our objectives is to follow the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit with particular reference to the specific guidance for charities for the advancement of religion. We wish to support our congregations in the proclamation of the gospel and in the making and nurturing of new disciples.
Therefore, we seek to encourage the transformation of existing congregations through discipleship, by developing our worship and welcome and by making better use of our wonderful church and hall buildings. We see this as being a springboard for missionary and outreach work and for fostering community and wellbeing for all within the area irrespective of whether they presently attend church.
We are committed to working within our community to transform it by meeting the needs that we find locally, through pastoral care and social outreach and mission conducted in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Such work is of course facilitated by our commitment to implementing and upholding the Provincial and Diocesan rules for safeguarding (our ministry area safeguarding officer’s report follows) and the maintenance of all our buildings (overseen by the property sub-committee, whose report follows).
The formation of the ministry area of Mumbles was confirmed by the bishop’s decree in June 2023 as part of the re-ordering of the diocese of Swansea and Brecon in line with the changes made to the constitution of the Church in Wales by its Governing body. It has been a matter of priority for us to bring the three former parishes, comprising five churches, together into this new entity and to find ways for the churches and their congregations to grow together and support each other in order that the resources and good practice may be shared and our challenges faced together in this way using the changes of governance to enhance our fulfilment of our aims and objectives.
Discipleship, worship and welcome
The five churches that comprise the ministry area, despite having some small differences, all use the Church in Wales liturgy and enjoy regular services every Sunday and on weekdays. Despite the national fall in congregation numbers occasioned during and just after Covid, the number of all our congregations has now risen back towards pre-Covid levels, and we were pleased to welcome new faces this year.
We acknowledge, however, that there is the need for a wider variety of services at times other than those already offered. The ministry area clergy are looking into this, and the provision of regular healing services and evensong have been agreed.
There is also the need to encourage and foster families and young people to attend. We are making efforts to do this through involvement in messy Church, choirs, parent and toddler groups, and children’s activity events, such as developing our new softplay facility.
Our churches are also used regularly for concerts by local choirs and thus are a venue for supporting the arts and social interaction in our community. Community choirs are also based in three of our churches where they meet and rehearse on a weekly basis.
The ministry area service booklet has been welcomed and is popular as a means of helping new churchgoers negotiate the service easily and providing news of all the events across the ministry area. It is used in the
majority of our churches. We are fortunate in each of our five churches to have members of the congregation dedicated to supporting and welcoming all who attend.
As well as regular services we are very much part of our community in the celebration of the rights of passage. The beauty of our church buildings, particularly Clyne and All Saints’, leads them to be frequently used for weddings. We are privileged in all our churches to provide a focal point in funeral services for the community to come together to grieve the loss of loved ones and in baptisms to welcome the arrival of new ones. We also lead Remembrance Day observance for the community and act as chaplain the local lifeboat.
Our commitment to discipleship leads to our Advent and Lent courses, which are well attended across the ministry area. We now have the new regular discussion and prayer group on Wednesday afternoons as well as the more meditative and descriptive services which take place regularly on weekdays.
Pastoral care and social outreach and mission
Our churches and halls are very much part of the different communities within Mumbles that they serve. Norton Mission is a multipurpose building combining Church and Hall. Holy Cross church is adjoined to its hall and the Church Rooms and St Peter’s Hall are adjacent to All Saints’ and St Peter’s Church respectively. All of these halls provide a slightly more neutral meeting ground for the community and run a wide range of courses, classes, events and parties, some arranged specifically by the church and others by people hiring the facilities. They are, therefore, vital parts of the community: for Norton Mission and Newton are the only halls within the surrounding area apart from the pubs. They are the centres of community life.
Across the All Saints’ Church Rooms, St Peter’s Hall and Holy Cross Hall are run, on a regular basis, classes in tai chi, Pilates, yoga, dance, flexercise for the elderly, fitness, Italian, German. They also provide facilities for badminton, table tennis, indoor bowls, book clubs, brownies, cinema, gardening clubs and the University of the Third Age.
The rooms in the halls are also used, among other things, for church meetings and meetings of groups arranged by the church like mothers and toddlers, knitters and natters, craft, Welsh conversation groups, and the dementia hub. There are meetings of other organisations, and also children’s parties, local counsellor surgeries, funeral wakes, art exhibitions and Mumbles Community Council events, including a Christmas lunch.
The café in St Peter’s Hall is open daily and is a registered warm space. It also provides lunches, including free soup over the winter, and is a lifeline for many of the local elderly people. The café provides work, volunteering opportunities and training in a safe and friendly environment, particularly for young people, some of whom have diverse challenges.
This wealth of buildings requires a great deal of work to upkeep but also affords marvellous opportunities for the community and also for the church to work within the community to welcome and support it. It provides excellent opportunities for the clergy to interact with all the parishioners of the ministry area, irrespective of whether they attend church.
When members of the church are unable to attend due to sickness or age, the clergy visit those who wish to celebrate communion with them, either at their homes or in hospital. We also have lay members who are trained as pastoral visitors, all regulated under our safeguarding procedures.
As part of our mission every week, an online service is sent out to 300 people approximately. All of them signed up to receive it during Covid when churches were not open for public worship. The service contains the readings for the relevant Sunday, as well as a reflection and intercessions.
It is with sadness, though, that we record that the ministry area magazine has this year ceased to be published because it was not possible for someone to be found to take on the very onerous job of editor, which had been so well performed by Rev Biddy Wigley.
The formation of the ministry area of Mumbles has been a major focus for our work and a vehicle to build better communication and to reach more people within the area that the five churches serve. There have
obviously been challenges involved in this, because Anglican congregations tend to see their church in isolation from everywhere else, but we have seen this as an opportunity to witness to the unity which Christ prayed for and wants us to build as an example to the world of the power of love to unite. The clergy of the ministry area share regular meetings to plan and support and the Ministry area council has grown and forged very good relationships since their inception. As a geographically very small ministry area we have been pleased to offer ourselves as the fore- runners in implementing the governance necessary to establish ministry areas and in this year were the first to carry through the formation of a ministry area into a CIO. We also signed our working agreement at a retreat day in Llangasty in July. We are looking towards regular movement of the clergy between churches and finding ways to work more closely together so that we can reduce duplication and have the energy and resources to take on more.

2. Risk Review
The Ministry Area Council considers the major risks to which the Ministry Area is exposed and establishes polices to mitigate those risks. The principal risks include declining and ageing church membership, the state of repair of the church buildings and the financial requirements to meet day to day administration. The fabric of each church building is continually monitored by the respective Sub-Wardens and reported upon to the Ministry Area Council. No significant spend on fabric is permitted unless the church can demonstrate it has the requisite funding in place.

General information
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church in Wales Accounting Regulations.

Debtors and creditors receivable or payable within one year are recorded at the settlement amount.
No trustees received remuneration or expenses during the year ended 31 December 2024 Structure, governance and management
The ministry area is structured in accordance with the constitution of the church in Wales and is now established by the Bishop‘s charter and with the charity commissioners as the Mumbles ministry area CIO. The ministry area council meet together regularly as a body and in subcommittees to discuss and oversee the governance of the ministry area and receive reports from the local church committees as and when they take place, although these have no legal status, they are nonetheless valuable ways for the ministry area council to be aware of the concerns of the five individual churches and their congregations.
The Ministry area council also consider reports from the MA clergy, the safeguarding team and the subcommittees. Also from the Diocesan and provincial bodies, to whom they also elect representatives.
Mumbles Ministry Area Property Sub- Committee 2024 Annual report
The Ministry Area Property Sub-Committee (‘PSC’) held its Inaugural Meeting on 7th October 2024 following completion of the Ministry Area Working Agreement made on 23rd July 2024.
The Section on Property Management acknowledges that most churches and church halls are the property of the Representative Body of the Church in Wales (‘the RB’) or the Swansea and Brecon Diocesan Trust (Incorporated) (‘the Diocesan Trust’). However, it is the MAC which bears the responsibility for day-to-day running costs, maintenance and project work, and the MAC has empowered the PSC to discuss property matters, make recommendations to the MAC and act as directed by the MAC.
Accordingly, I see our role as Advisory and I am taking part in developing Terms of Reference for all MAC PSCs in conjunction with the Diocesan Officers. Indeed, the Diocese and the Diocesan Inspector of Churches arrange quarterly meetings with PSC Leads to enable us to share knowledge and experiences, and we are endeavoring to work within a set of draft Terms of reference already in existence.
The Initial Actions required of us were:
-
Current initiatives: the PSC was required to compile a comprehensive list of all current build projects within the MA, listing their current state of progress, the financial commitment and the support they require for the remainder of the project. This has been done.
-
Quinquennial review ; the PSC was to compile a list of the most recent quinquennials to provide a summary of building conditions and forthcoming expenditure requirements. At the beginning of the year the PSC was to review the list and remind/advise both the MAC and the Church committees of items that need to be undertaken.
In summary, this is what we have been involved with during 2024 and into 2025:
1. Quinquennial Inspection Reports
Because of the impact of the Pandemic, QI Reports over the last ten years have been erratic. However, with the appointment of Richard Hollocks as Diocesan Inspector in 2024 all five churches in
the MA were inspected in December 2024, and separate Reports on each church were issued in January 2025. In general. each church building was found to be in generally satisfactory conditions, and the recommendations are being dealt with by the relevant sub-wardens and Church Committees.
2. Church Property Handbooks
With the help of the Diocesan Office and the Diocesan Inspector Property Handbooks have been created for each of the five Churches, which have been ‘populated’ by the MA Administrator in conjunction with the wardens and sub-wardens. The MAA retains electronic copies of all the material contained in each Handbook, including the QI Reports held with each church handbook.
3. Church Asbestos Surveys
Again, at the expense of the Diocese Asbestos Surveys were carried out in each of the five churches in January/February 2024 which are also contained in the church handbooks. Fortunately, each of the Reports were favorable, and it is only All Saints that is under an obligation to arrange annual visual inspections for some minor concerns centred on the boiler house.
4. Building Projects
During the year the re-rendering and upgrading of the electrics in the Church Rooms at All Saints was completed, and some expensive work on the main roof of the Church which is not at present leaking. The proposed re-ordering of Holy Cross Church West Cross was brought into sharp focus with an adverse electrical report produced in the Autumn of 2024. Through the good offices of Rev Hywel the premises were made safe before Christmas, and the PSC is now actively looking at the re-ordering project that has been dormant since 2023.
5. Rent Reviews
During 2024 Rent Reviews were implemented in respect of All Saints freehold interest in both the Ostreme Centre on Castle Avenue and the Norton Village Hall. In Ostreme’s case the rent payable by the Mumbles Community Council is reviewed every five years, and in the case of Norton the ground rent payable is reviewed every thirty-three years.
The Curate’s house at Castle Acre Norton is also due for review and, in conjunction with the RB which holds it for All Saints, an Agent has been appointed to undertake this task and manage the letting in the future.
6. 70 Nottage Road, Newton
This is the address of the building that was constructed as the Newton St Peter’s Churchmen’s Club, in 1905 and has since about 1991 been used as a snooker club with no connection to the religious and social activities of St Peter’s Church. The former Parish of Newton purchased the freehold in 1985, and that is now held by the Diocesan Trust in trust for St Peters.
The circumstances in which the snooker club occupied the building were at the beginning of 2024 a mystery as no records could be found. Accordingly, a visit was made by Mathew Joyce Brown as MA Warden and myself as Chair of the Diocesan Trust in July to discuss the position with the club’s Secretary and Treasurer. There was no response by them until 5th September, by which time we had received Solicitors papers which clarified the arrangements.
Regrettably the response of the club was remarkably hostile which set off a course of action which led to them rejecting an offer we had made of a Five-year tenancy on terms advised by the Diocesan Trust’s Surveyor to commence on 25th March 2025. As a direct consequence of that rejection the MMA peaceably re-took possession of the building on 29th March 2025. The building is now in hand to the MMA which is now considering its future.
2025 is looking to be a similarly busy year as we continue to consider the Restoration of the Second World War Memorial in All Saints Churchyard, and improvements to the car Parking arrangements there.

Mumbles Ministry Area Ministry Area Safeguarding 2024 Annual report
Safeguarding in the Ministry Area is reported on at every meeting of the Council. The MAC is committed to ensuring everyone involved in the MA churches are cared for and protected by providing effective training and appropriate support and is committed to being a Safe Church.
Since the inception of the MA huge there has been huge progress to this aim.
-
An audit of the situation across the MA as of March last year identified a number of significant improvements required both on behalf of the My Church People database and procedures within the churches of the MA.
-
A key improvement was communication between the individual Safeguarding Officers and the MA Administrator to initiate DBS checks.
-
An audit of roles across the MA was successfully conducted.
-
The MA completed a Diocesan initiated Safeguarding Audit scoring success across all parameters.
-
An up-to-date audit of DBS checks and training is reported to every meeting of the MAC.
-
In November the MAC agreed to each of its churches participating in the Safeguarding Sunday initiative aimed at publicising the safeguarding agenda.
-
As things stand there are NO outstanding DBS checks and both those requiring either in person or online training are aware of the requirement with arrangements in hand.

Reference and administrative details
2024 was a busy year for the Ministry Area Council who met 10 times during the year. Minutes of those meetings were placed at the back of the church. The early part of the year began with the process of the three former parishes becoming a CIO, as previously mentioned by Canon Chris. Out of the fourteen Ministry Areas in the Diocese, Mumbles was the first to go through this process, which was completed in June 2024. In March, the MA Council invited Katrina Guntrip as our Ministry Area Safeguarding Officer. As well as being a Safeguarding Officer (SO) in All Saints’, Katrina is supported by a SO in both Clyne/Holy Cross and St. Peter’s.
In July, the council attended a Ministry Area Away Day at Llangasty. A day of prayer, reflection and discussions on the new direction our churches are moving in. This was well attended and at that meeting a legislative document called a Ministry Area Working agreement was adopted. A Ministry Area Action Mission plan is now the focus for 2025.
