Gathering Your Contact Details 
Over the next few weeks we will be gathering the contact details for parishioners. 
The former way in which the Electoral Roll was formed would include people's contact  
details – these are no longer collected, which means that we don't routinely have 
your telephone number or email details. Even if you have been in touch with us 
about a pastoral matter, a baptism or funeral for instance, we don't routinely keep 
that information because the Church adheres to data privacy regulations. 
  
You may have been a member of All Saints for many years and in the past were used 
to the church and the clergy having your contact details on file – that is no longer 
the case, and we have to have your written consent to store your contact details  
and your agreement as to why we are storing them. We do not share your contact  
details with anyone else. At any time, you can require your details to be removed. 
Everyone is welcome to provide their contact details and indeed you are  
encouraged to do so. 
  
If you have an email address and are not receiving our updates, PLEASE 
give it to Ross or the Churchwardens so that you can be kept in contact with what is  
going on. If you or family members are able please visit our website for  
prayer resources and also follow us on Facebook and Twitter. Just 
search for All Saints Notting Hill. This way we can all keep in touch 
Please share news with others and have them get in touch 
  
If you wish to make a donation towards the continued mission of the church  
by standing order or bank transfer, please contact the Churchwardens or Ross. 
You can also donate £5 to the work of All Saints Notting Hill by texting  
ASNH to 70085 (£5 donation plus one standard message rate). The money 
will be then transferred directly to the All Saints bank account 
  
Parish WhatsApp Group: If you would like to join the group, please  
contact the churchwardens

CARNIVAL AT CHRISTMAS 
Sunday 20 December – we will celebrate a CAROL SERVICE at 4 pm 
with a sprinkling of Caribbean tinsel! We are looking for musicians and  
for those who could read some of the lessons that will include writings  
inspired by the West Indies – and of course we'd love some black cake and  
sorrel served afterwards. Offers of help very gladly received. This is a good  
opportunity for us all to engage in outreach and invite family, friends and neighbours. 
  
REVISION OF THE ELECTORAL ROLL: This is the time of year when we 
carry out the revision of the electoral roll. If there are alterations that are  
needed to your entry, such as a change to your contact details, please provide  
these in writing to our Electoral Roll Officer, Jennifer Alleyne. Admission to the 
roll is for those who are baptised, who habitually worship at All Saints and  
are aged 16 and over. 
  
CHOIR MEMBERS, ALTAR SERVERS and SUNDAY SCHOOL LEADERS we would like  
to boost these ministries at All Saints. If you are interested in any of these ways  
of supporting our life at All Saints please talk with Fr Charles after mass. 
  
Copies of the book The Lord is in Charge! The Life and Ministry of Fr John  
Brownsell, are available from Victor Fergus at £5 each.

SAVE ALL SAINT: NOVEMBER UPDATE 
  
At the end of October we heard the good news that we had received a grant  
of £40,000 from the Kensington Episcopal Area. There are a series of  
surveys and reports that we have commissioned. This includes a survey of  
the trees that surround the church in order to understand the impact that  
they are having on the subsidence, and structural surveys on the south and  
north elevations of the church. This work will cost about £10K. Before too  
long we will need a survey and report on the tower, but this is far more costly. 
After much hard and exact work, we received news at the beginning of November  
that our application to Heritage England for substantial funds to restore 
the south transept has not been successful. This is disappointing. 
  
The fund had been massively over-subscribed and only about 5% of applicants were successful. 
The scaffolding is in place in the hope and aim of securing funds so that the repair can  
be carried out on the upper stonework. It is urgent. Our available funds to meet the cost of the 
scaffolding are only sufficient until the first few months of 2027. We are working to secure  
another funding source. We need several hundreds of thousands to repair the south transept.
