‘Keeping the doors open: how you can help’ Gerry
Churchwardens Fred Crosskey and Gerry Banks, along with
church treasurer Di Frost and members of the church council,
share the responsibility for looking after St Nicholas’ Church’s
finances. With churches closed for most of 2020 because of
the pandemic, balancing the books is becoming increasingly
difficult. As Gerry explains…
Department stores collapsing, restaurants in receivership,
theatres unlikely to reopen. During the Covid 19 pandemic, we
have heard many sad reports of difficulties for organisations
that are dependent on gatherings of people.
For some reason, however, we have heard little about the
impact on our churches, but these are also organisations that
depend on the attendance and financial contribution of their
'customers'. Although great efforts have been made by all
parish priests like our Rev Jane and her team to provide on-line
services for congregations, the lockdown has meant that for
most of the last year no income has been received from
collections at services, or donations made by casual callers for Fred
worship, or from tourists, or church fetes and other fund-raising
events. In the meantime, the churches have been dependent
on parishioners and well-wishers who make regular
contributions by standing order or make individual donations.
Readers may be surprised to discover that to keep our beautiful
parish church of St Nicholas in full operation for a year costs
about £100,000. This includes a diverse list of
costs, including the contribution we have to make to the
diocese of Portsmouth, which includes clergy stipends, along
with heating and lighting, staff costs, and maintaining a very old
Grade Two Listed building and its churchyard in a good state of
repair.
Maybe you are someone who comes to church regularly, or
maybe you come occasionally for special services, wedding
ceremonies, funerals, baptism, school celebrations, or musical
events. Perhaps you have never set foot in the church, yet
appreciate the fine building standing in its unique position at the
crossroads. For 900 years, St Nicholas has been a symbol of stability in good times and in turbulent
times as well. Whatever your relationship with the parish church, you may feel that you would like to do
something to ensure its survival through its 901st year, and beyond.
If you wish to make a contribution to the maintenance of St Nicholas Church, there are three ways you
could do it:
1. Make a donation by cheque, made payable to PCC St Nicholas to The Treasurer, Di Frost,
'The Laurels', Mayles Lane, Wickham PO17 5ND.
2. Visit the Give a Little page on the church website (www.stnicholaswickham.org.uk)
3. Become a member of the Friends of St Nicholas, by contacting John Landaw
(john.landaw@gmail.com)
4. Make a regular monthly donation by arrangement with The Treasurer, Di Frost
(dfwickham@hotmail.com)
Large or small, your contribution towards the upkeep of Wickham’s parish church would be very
gratefully received.

Meetings are held via Zoom during pandemic restrictions.
Members and occasional visitors are always welcome.
In February we welcomed Rear Admiral Ric Cheadle CB DL to give us an insider’s perspective on
the workings and life in a nuclear submarine, from his living room in Devon.
He described the mechanisms that enable a
submarine to submerge and return to the
surface and conditions within a nuclear
submarine while they are out on patrol.
Until a year ago, one of our first questions
might have been ‘how can a crew survive
spending 3 months with only each other’s
company and no distractions or places to go?’
– but no longer necessary!
In March, Dee Haas, Chair, and Christopher
Napier, leader, of the local South Downs and
Central District Group of the Campaign to
Protect Rural England (CPRE) joined us to
explain the role and work of this charity.
The value of being able to connect with nature
has proved to be more important than ever for
our well-being, reminding us how vital it is to
protect and maintain our green spaces from
further development.
Dee explained the steps the organisation is taking to engage with government about their current
planning proposals, to encourage a sensible and sustainable approach to planning which
prioritises local people.
On 13 April 2021 at 7.30 pm
Our next meeting will be our AGM with a planning update
before our break for the summer months. We have invited
Fiona Gray, Project Director at Buckland Developments to
come and give an update on their plans for Welborne.

Missing the sound of church
bells?
From the Revd Jane Isaac
Thank you to the Wickham resident who
wrote to remind me how much the village
is missing the sound of church bells and
wondering when we will be able to hear
them again. Please be reassured that just
as soon as our ringers are allowed to, the
bells will be ringing again. At the moment,
social distancing requirements mean that
it’s impossible for ringing to take place in
St Nicholas Church’s tiny ringing room.
That means that although the church will
be re-opening for private prayer and
public worship from Sunday, 14th March,
we have to wait for the go-ahead from the
Winchester and Portsmouth Guild of
Ringers before ringing gets underway The bellringers that rang the first local peal of 5040 changes

Our Wickham Funeral Home
Our funeral home in Wickham is located at 13 The Square. Although it is
difficult to confirm exactly when the property was built, we believe that it was
in the 1700’s.
Today, the property has been extensively refurbished to provide the highest
standards of care and support for our families. It was important to retain and
enhance the existing oak beams thus retaining the correct atmosphere.
You will enter into a warm and inviting reception area, where the door is always
open between Monday and Friday, and by appointment at any other time.
We have an arranging lounge which provides privacy and quiet when dealing with
the arrangements for a funeral.
Tim Charley All of us together are committed to providing the highest possible standards of
care and support.

the subsequent issues that have emerged in their

programme harnesses the powerful near-peer
experience that takes place between university

to deliver online interactive wellbeing
workshops, that build resilience and empower
young people to make positive change.
Challenge
The prevalent narrative that Covid-19 has
ruined an entire generation's future prospects is
damaging young people's mental health and
wellbeing and is also untrue! In a recent survey
conducted by YoungMinds, 67% of young
people believed that the pandemic would have
a long-term negative effect on their mental
health. This project will provide wellbeing
support for 3,000 UK youth, reclaiming
'Generation Covid' as 'Generation Change'
because empowered young people can be a
positive force.
Solution
University students will receive training to
deliver online workshops to young people,
focusing on boosting self-esteem, recognising
self-worth, coping with change, envisioning the
future and creating positive pathways to
achieving goals. The workshops will provide
'mutual healing' opportunities, benefitting both
