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 
  
 
 
The PCC Secretary and Electoral Roll Officer, Jennifer Alleyne, 
will be gathering this information after Mass on Sundays.

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: OCTOBER UPDATE 
  
The estimated cost of the repair to the high level stone work in the south 
transept is £700,000. These repairs are urgent and the focus of our fund  
raising over the next few weeks will be to raise this money. The cracks in  
the walls have opened up further during the exceptionally hot and dry  
summer months. This phase is not about the underpinning and only the  
upper stonework. We have to address this first as there are risks. 
  
While this is happening we are advancing the community engagement  
process so that we can apply for further grants to engage a project  
development officer. This person will work with us to define the project in  
much more detail. The big funders don't need convincing that a Listed 2*  
building is worth saving, nor convincing that the church, which is on  
English Heritage's At Risk Register at its highest level, is in need of saving  
– their question is why and what are the skills that we have in the parish to  
run a multimillion pound regeneration project. This is a major piece of  
work and we hope everyone associated with All Saints will support the  
work. At this stage we need your input of ideas and responses.  
  
In order to support our fund raiser with the sort of information that he  
needs to make a substantial application for funds we need everyone  
associated with All Saints to submit written answers to the questions: What  
does All Saints mean to me? Why should All Saints be repaired? And a  
more specific question, looking to the present and the future how could All  
Saints be the Carnival church? We need to be able to provide compelling  
answers. No one doubts that the repairs are needed but we are competing  
with many other good causes that also call upon public funds. We need  
millions of pounds – and every donation and every written answer will help. 
  
Please give your written answers, this month, to our PCC Secretary Jenny  
Alleyne or to one of the churchwardens.

PARISH OFFICE 
  
Thank you to all who worked so carefully to sift through the records and  
archives held in the parish office. We were able to dispose of about a third  
of the paperwork and nearly all of the furniture. We made sure that all  
parish materials that are and may become of historical interest were kept.  
There was much of considerable importance. The office has been 
redecorated in [William] Morris Blue and all paperwork has been boxed 
temporarily. A new light has been fitted. The painter decorator has made  
a very good job. With the room emptied it has revealed that the flooring is 
in poor condition and we will need a solution. We are making good progress. 
  
Please speak to Fr Charles or the Churchwardens or Ross if you are interested in  
baptism or confirmation for you or someone you know. 
  
If you wish to donate to the Foodbank the bank details are as follows.  
The account is used for no other purpose:
