FOLLOWING CHRIST IN ALBAN’S FOOTSTEPS
Welcome & Compassion
As Alban welcomed the stranger Amphibalus, we too will be a place of God’s welcome in our community, where anyone can come as visitor or pilgrim, to worship and to learn about and deepen their relationship with God. We will be a place of peace, comfort, safety and refuge for people of all faiths and none.
Leadership & Service
As the Cathedral and mother church for the Diocese of St Albans, with Alban’s boldness we will strive to be leaders and a resource, sharing our work, supporting and serving others, and providing inspiration as we live God’s love.
Worship & Witness
Like Alban, we will put Christ at the centre of all that we do, and worship and adore the true and living God. Like Amphibalus, with confidence we will live and share the gospel of Jesus Christ.
&Courage Justice
Alban heard Christ’s words and bravely acted on them in the face of adversity. We will do the same, being a beacon of Christ’s message of justice for all creation. We will ally ourselves with those who are persecuted and those who face injustice throughout the world. We will be bold in our faith, standing up for justice and modelling the actions we hope others will also take.
St Albans Cathedral stands over the place where Alban, Britain’s first saint, was buried after giving his life for his faith over 1,700 years ago.

A
LETTER FROM THE DEAN
In our continued commitment to following Christ in Alban’s footsteps, 2025 was a year of remarkable worship, ministry, service and activity for our Cathedral community where our commitment to welcome and compassion, worship and witness, courage and justice, leadership and service were once again evident in the life of this holy place.
In terms of our worship, we celebrate all who make music, serve, read, welcome and enable the praying life of our Cathedral and Abbey Church. In this last year we established parity for boys and girls as part of one Cathedral Choir and a new Sunday worship timetable, shaped through broad consultation, has deepened our shared life. It has resulted in increased attendance at Sunday Choral Evensong, is enabling new worshipping opportunities such as monthly Choral Compline sung by the Cathedral Youth Choir and is an important part of ensuring a more sustainable pattern for our Cathedral Choir. Significant diocesan moments, including Bishop Alan’s farewell service and joyful ordinations, as well as 8,500 people at Carols on the Hour and a record Christmas Eve Choral Evensong with 1,500 attending, were among the many highlights. Alongside these, welcoming over 660,000 visitors and pilgrims to the Cathedral, an exceptional programme of events and learning, from Museum of the Moon and the Interstellar series to record school visits and the unforgettable Electric Umbrella concerts, brought thousands into the Cathedral, all this enriching our mission of welcome and supporting community.
It was also the year in which a brand-new Cathedral Electoral Roll was prepared, and we are delighted that 754 people signed up, demonstrating the strength and commitment of our worshipping community. Since that time, the Electoral Roll has continued growing.
At the end of 2025 we announced that Canon Dr Kevin Walton would be concluding his ministry with us after 17 years of exceptional service as our Canon Chancellor. Installed in 2008, Kevin has led the development of our Learning Department into a world-class programme, championed pilgrimage and ecumenical life, and contributed deeply to the leadership of the Cathedral through his roles on Chapter, the Senior Management Team, the Finance Committee and Cathedral Enterprises. His preaching, sacramental ministry and pastoral care have been greatly cherished, as has the involvement of the whole Walton family in our community.
Kevin concluded his ministry at Easter Day Choral Evensong before preparing to take up his new role as Canon Chancellor at Lincoln Cathedral, and we hold him and Linda in our prayers with immense gratitude for all they have given us.
As you may remember, the Cathedral operating budget in 2024 reported a record deficit of £290,000, which had to be addressed in 2025 through greatly increased income generation and strict cost controls. The good news is that these measures have resulted in a significantly improved financial outcome for 2025, with the deficit reduced to £82,000. This represents real progress toward bringing costs more closely in line with income.
This improvement means that the day-to-day costs of keeping the Cathedral open for worship will increasingly be supported by our income-producing activities, including events, the Abbot’s Kitchen, the Cathedral Shop and income from investments. This achievement reflects the dedication of our staff, volunteers and congregation, whose commitment has helped place the Cathedral on a much healthier financial footing. I offer particular thanks to our Alan Hartwell, our COO, whose dedicated leadership alongside that of our Senior Management Team, thas been key in our work towards making a sustainable Cathedral. There are still deficits however, including in the ongoing costs of delivering the world-class music and music education of our Cathedral, and in preserving our beautiful Grade I listed building and its nationally significant setting. In terms of property as we work towards a balanced operational budget, no funds remain for anything beyond emergency repairs. A backlog of essential conservation work is developing, from roof leaks to deteriorating stonework. Together these are our two charitable purposes: firstly the worship of God and secondly the conservation of this holy place.
To meet these needs, in the next year we will be launching Alban OneFifty, marking our 150th anniversary as a Diocese, Cathedral, and City. As we celebrate this milestone, and give thanks for what we have inherited from those who have gone before us, we also look to the future in this capital campaign to endow and sustain music as the centre of our worship, and to ensure our Cathedral and precinct are sustainable and can continue welcoming hundreds of thousands of worshippers, pilgrims and visitors each year. Alban OneFifty will help us sustain the English Choral tradition in our Cathedral, conserve our unique heritage, and care for God’s creation – all this to ensure that we continue to serve our community and for generations to come. It is a long-term commitment, not only to this special anniversary year, but to securing the resources, sustainability and inclusivity needed for the next 150 years of our shared life and mission.
Thank you all for your part in this life of the home of Britain’s first saint and martyr and for all that you give in so many ways. It is a privilege to share in ministry with you as your Dean.
I hope, inspired by our impact outlined in this Annual Review of 2025, you will journey with us through this next exciting chapter as we remain committed to our vision and mission of following Christ in Alban’s footsteps, and as with faith we look to the future.

FINANCE
The Cathedral’s significant deficit reduction was achieved through strong income growth and careful cost management during a year of continued financial pressure. As part of this cost discipline, no general salary review was undertaken for Cathedral staff, other than adjustments for those on the real Living Wage.
Total gross income rose to £3.4m, an increase of £500k on the previous year. Income from Donations, Grants and Legacies grew to £1.6m, reflecting both the generosity of supporters and the importance of philanthropic giving to the Cathedral’s mission. In line with our strategic aim to diversify revenue, income from other trading and fundraising events also grew strongly, reaching £1.1m. This includes event hire, the shop, the café, and one-off filming income, which was secured in 2025 but not in 2024. Activity across these areas was buoyant, supported by the University of Hertfordshire graduations, an expanded programme of Candlelight Concerts and Silent Discos, and an improved outcome from the Fireworks event. Individual profit and loss accounts continue to be produced for
major events - such as the Museum of the Moon installation - to ensure resources are directed towards programmes that provide the strongest financial return. The Cathedral Shop performed well, particularly in the second half of the year, while Dinner Ladies, our new café operators, began trading in September.
Total gross expenditure rose to £3.6m, an increase of £216k. Expenditure on Cathedral and precincts upkeep remained steady at £1.0m, reflecting both ongoing maintenance needs and the cost of repairs that had been delayed in prior years. Ministry expenditure increased to £1.3m, driven by new appointments in the Music Department and higher costs associated with clergy housing, including the refurbishment of a staff property prior to its being rented as an investment asset. Despite investment income and support from the St Albans Cathedral Music Trust, the net cost of providing Music and Choirs remains significant and is expected to rise further in 2026.
ASSETS & RESERVES
Assets or reserves?
Most people would think a business’s assets are resources a business owns (cash, inventory, property) that provide economic value, whereas reserves are portions of accumulated profits set aside or retained to strengthen the financial position. While Assets are listed on the left side of the balance sheet, Reserves are part of equity on the right side.
The Cathedral’s assets and reserves can be quite complicated to understand and sometimes misunderstood. The net assets of the Cathedral are often misunderstood as being the same as the Cathedral’s reserves.
Assets
The assets include the Cathedral building itself as well as its operational assets and investments.
Reserves
Within the definition of assets, the reserves are divided between unrestricted reserves and restricted reserves.
The Cathedral’s unrestricted reserves are split into general reserves and designated reserves.
• Our general reserves represent our day-to-day operating costs and broadly reflect our working capital.
• Designated reserves are set apart to protect the Cathedral against unexpected financial shocks, not daily operational spend.
The vast majority of our reserves, 90%, are held as restricted reserves, in property and investments, and are not legally available for the Cathedral’s regular operational spend.
Taken together the assets and reserves generated an investment return of £498k in 2025 (2024: £450k) to fund our expenditure, without which alternative income streams would have to be identified and/or expenditure reduced.
As well as generating income, the increase in the value of these assets and reserves over time will help to secure a sustainable financial future for the Cathedral.
Chapter recognises it is crucial that the Cathedral’s reserves grow over a period of time. Our plan is to reduce the operational deficit over the next two years and move to generating an operational surplus, as well as fundraising for major projects through the Alban OneFifty initiative. Without this replenishment, the absence of strong funding reserves will inevitably hinder the Cathedral’s ability to invest for the future.
WELCOME
2025 was an exceptional year for the Cathedral’s commercial bookings, events and exhibitions, with record levels of engagement across every part of our programme. We began the year beneath the luminous presence of Luke Jerram’s Museum of the Moon, which drew extraordinary numbers of visitors into the Nave throughout its run, surpassing even our most popular installations of previous years. A particular highlight was the Interstellar series: over thirty performances across six weeks welcomed new audiences who came to experience iconic film music performed by Roger Sayer on our renowned organ, creating an unforgettable opening to the year.
In February and September, we were delighted once again to host the University of Hertfordshire’s Graduation Ceremonies, welcoming more than 25,000 graduates and their families into the Cathedral and the city. May saw the arrival of the first Great Gatsby Ball, curated by Mega Events—one of four new commercial events introduced during the year that expanded our offer and reached new communities.
July brought the return of the 33rd International Organ Festival, celebrating the Cathedral’s long tradition of musical excellence. In October, Poppy Fields returned with strong attendance, further enriched by a newly introduced Roll of Honour, allowing visitors to commemorate loved ones as part of the installation.
Favourable weather in November made the Fireworks Spectacular one of our strongest yet, drawing large crowds for an evening of community celebration. We closed the year with a vibrant New Year’s Eve Silent Disco under the Whales, a now-much loved finale to an outstanding year of welcome and creativity.
Learning remains central to our mission as we welcome and enable more people to engage with our Christian story and heritage. Having in the previous year celebrated 50 years of adult learning and 40 years of school visits, it is very pleasing to be able to report the highest ever number of school visits (14,495 pupils) and of adult learners since 2019/20 (totalling 2,563).
One particular highlight in June was Electric Umbrella, a charity empowering people with learning disabilities and neurodivergent people through music. Attended by over 1,600 children and young adults from a mixture of mainstream and SEND schools, they performed two amazing concerts that lifted the roof.
For adult learning we linked with the Diocesan Year of Spiritual Renewal with events through the year, and we more than doubled Diocesan membership of our library, which itself saw a significant increase in volunteers. We also saw the return of our summer school for Greek and Latin, welcoming participants from as far as Beijing and Boston.
COMPASSION
St Alban’s Cathedral is committed to being generous with what we have been given, and especially towards those who are vulnerable and most in need. We give 10% of our regular planned giving and Christmas collections to charities and organisations, as well as supporting two charities through our annual Fireworks Spectacular. Last year we raised £42,750 for 31 charities working in areas of health and wellbeing, care for the environment, education and skills training, community support, work with the vulnerable, and charities addressing homelessness and responding to deprivation. We also gave £15k to both the Hospice of St Francis and The Daylight Club working with adults with learning difficulties as our Firework charities in 2025. We were also pleased to give £4,350 from our Christmas service collections to Herts for Refugees, reflecting the welcome and care the Cathedral gives to a group of over 30 asylum seekers and refugees. Our work here has also included regular English classes, games evenings in a local hotel, outings and social events and sanctuary suppers where a small group of the asylum seekers have the opportunity to cook recipes from their homelands and tell stories of their heritage and culture to paying guests.
Our Mission Giving Team are undertaking detailed work to develop the process for deciding how to disperse our donations to charity, looking closely at turnover, reserves and how the donation will make a difference and how the charities we support align with our own vision and values.
In October we welcomed over 70 charities for the third St Albans Community Showcase, celebrating the transformational work that charities and organisations are making in our community. This inspiring event illustrates the ways we are developing close partnerships with local charities beyond our financial contributions, to share projects and events together and raise the profile of their work and needs.
During 2025 we began a partnership with Rennie Grove Peace Hospice to host monthly compassionate cafés so that those who have lost a loved one can find comfort and bereavement support in an informal social context.
WORSHIP
2025 was a time of significant change in our worshipping life together as, after a wide consultation, in the autumn we moved to a new worship timetable with Choral Evensong on Sundays now taking place at 4pm and the 11.15am service now taking place at 11.30am to enable a choir rehearsal on the Cathedral floor before the service, replacing their longstanding Friday evening rehearsal.
This change has enabled more people to join us for evensong as visitors are able to encounter worship, rather than closing the building and then reopening for evensong, and has seen us create new worshipping opportunities with our well attended monthly Choral Compline services on the second Sunday of the month at 6pm sung by the Cathedral Youth Choir giving them a fixed opportunity to sing services. The timetable change has also created more time for fellowship between the two services in the morning and greater depth of conversation.
Our timetable change has also seen us realise long overdue parity between the Cathedral choirs with boys and girls moving to equality of workload and has created a more sustainable timetable to ensure the long-term future of our Cathedral Choir and the welfare of our choristers.
In May we had the privilege of marking the end of Bishop Alan’s ministry as Bishop of St Albans as we hosted his farewell service giving thanks for his years of faithful service among us. In 2026 we look forward to hosting the enthronement of the 11th Bishop of St Albans. We continued to host many significant diocesan services throughout the year with new ministries beginning in Ordination and Licensing services and faithful ministry recognised in the new members of our College of Canons. We joyfully marked the seasons of the liturgical year with another bumper Christmas and Easter with Choral Evensong on Christmas Eve being the biggest surprise of the year with 1,500 people attending.
Worship is thriving here at St Albans Cathedral as we continue to welcome a steady stream of new faces to worship. We are blessed by all who give generously of their time and talents to enable our worshipping life together as sidespeople, servers, chalice assistants, readers and intercessors, musicians, the textile and flower guilds and our Virgers. We are grateful to you all and would gladly welcome new faces to these teams to share in this aspect of our life together.
St Albans Cathedral serves also as a parish church and life events provide an opportunity to share the ministry of the church with young and old in times of joy and sadness. During the year we conducted 47 baptisms and 22 candidates from the Cathedral were confirmed. It was a joy to admit 12 young people to first communion. We solemnised 28 marriages and held 3 wedding blessings. Sadly it was also a busy year for our funeral ministry with 30 funerals and memorials and 19 interments of ashes.
Our work with children and young people has flourished during 2025 and we have seen significant growth in the numbers attending our Tuesday and Thursday morning gatherings, a burgeoning relationship with our two schools and growing numbers at our Friday night Xcite group.
WITNESS
We said farewell and thank you to Fr Calum in February as he moved to Barnes to take up a new post. In June we were delighted to welcome Fr Jason Wratten as our new Youth Chaplain. The appointment of Elise Allanson as our new Children and Families worker towards the end of the year, along with excellent support from our Alban Intern, completes a very strong team to complement a large team of volunteers helping with our work with children and young people.
The Alban Pilgrimage returned in June with our special guest preacher the Very Revd Isaac Poobalan, as we took to the packed High Street to witness to Alban’s courage and faith. This year we were particularly pleased to be working with St Albans BID in a coordinated programme of stalls and events through the city centre and Abbey Orchard. This partnership underlines the central role of our annual Pilgrimage and Festival in marking the unique story of our city’s patron saint.
Two 4-week explorer courses were run in May and September for those seeking to deepen their faith and engage with the story of Alban more fully.
In November we were pleased to host the Diocesan Interfaith gathering bringing over 200 people together from at least 12 different world faiths to share a time of reflection and commitment to stand together in face of societal division and tension.
COURAGE
The story of Alban is a rich seam in the bedrock of our Cathedral’s ministry and work and it is central to guiding how we live out our faith in Christ with the same confidence and boldness. The landscape for those arriving in this country seeking asylum and refuge has become increasingly political and yet the Cathedral has remained unswayed in responding to the human need before us and addressing the situation with courage in our preaching and teaching.
For the last four years the Cathedral has been a place of welcome and support for well over a hundred asylum seekers and refugees from all over the world. Many have needed help with English, dealing with the complexities of government procedures, with understanding the different society to which they have come and simply making contact. They have received kindness and practical help through the generosity of many and it has been good to share in much of this work with representatives from other churches as well as several local charities.
Courage was also expressed through the Cathedral’s vocation to be a place where difficult conversations can be held openly and honestly. In September and October, this was powerfully embodied in the hosting of the Bogside Artists’ mural exhibition in the North Transept. The exhibition invited visitors to engage deeply with the history of the Troubles in Northern Ireland and the ongoing work of reconciliation. These striking and provocative artworks prompted thoughtful reflection and meaningful cross-community conversations, reinforcing the Cathedral’s role as a centre for discussion and debate that leads to shared understanding and common action.
JUSTICE
In our response to the call for justice, we are necessarily focusing on just some areas in order to deliver a tangible impact, all of this led by our expanding Social Justice Group. The Chair and our Cathedral Safeguarding Officer attend the St Albans Homeless Single Pathway, the Canon for Mission and Pastoral Care sits on the Strategic Partnership and we are currently working closely with a local homeless charity to develop plans for a new site to provide enhanced daytime homeless care and support.
The Social Justice Group has also been developing plans in response to the situation in Israel and Palestine, supporting our closer and growing interfaith work in the area, attending an innovative forum on prisons and the rehabilitation of offenders, and promoting the importance of Fair Trade with a monthly stall.
The Cathedral is now registered with the Welcome Directory as a place that welcomes former offenders and we regularly host sessions of community work for first-time offenders, accompanied by the Watford Children and Young People police team and the statistics on reoffending are pleasingly low.
During 2025 we appointed our first Cathedral Sustainability Projects Officer, funded by a CSF grant, and since starting in the Autumn, we have already seen an acceleration in progressing our environmental work towards Net Zero. Work has included data gathering and analysis on energy use in all buildings in our portfolio, preparing and submitting a planning application for a solar demonstrator project on one of our residential properties, and the work of the Eco team in drawing up a land management plan which includes expanding and enhancing our eco garden and encouraging greater biodiversity in other areas of the Cathedral precincts.
LEADERSHIP
In May 2025, St Albans Cathedral was honoured to host a profoundly moving Service of Farewell for the Rt Revd Dr Alan Smith, marking the conclusion of 16 years of faithful, generous and inspiring leadership as Bishop of St Albans, and 44 years of ordained ministry.
The Cathedral was filled to capacity as the congregation offered Bishop Alan an extended standing ovation—an expression of the deep affection and respect in which he is held across the Diocese. The service, enriched by music personally chosen by Bishop Alan and sung by the Cathedral Choir, reflected the Cathedral’s vocation as a centre of excellence for worship, music and culture. It drew together civic leaders, clergy, school communities and parishioners from across the Diocese, embodying our calling to serve as a place of spiritual leadership and public convening.
In his reflections, Bishop Alan offered heartfelt gratitude for the Diocese’s commitment to living the gospel, leaving an enduring legacy of pastoral care, thoughtful teaching and courageous public witness. Following Bishop Alan’s retirement and during the period of vacancy, The Rt Revd Richard Atkinson OBE, Bishop of Bedford, stepped into the role of Acting Bishop of St Albans, beginning on 1 May 2025. In this capacity he has provided calm and steady leadership across the Diocese, taking on day-to-day oversight while participating fully in the House of Bishops and General Synod. His service during this transitional period has been marked by generosity, humility and deep commitment to the life of the Diocese.
We are excited to welcome The Right Reverend Dr Andrew Paul Rumsey, currently the Suffragan Bishop of Ramsbury, as the next Bishop of St Albans in 2026, with the nomination approved by His Majesty the King.
As the Mother Church of the Diocese of St Albans, the Cathedral continued to serve the wider diocesan community through leadership, governance, teaching, and pastoral ministry. This service was expressed through the significant diocesan responsibilities held by members of the Cathedral’s Ministry Team, alongside regular engagement with parishes across the Diocese.
The Very Revd Jo Kelly-Moore, Dean of St Albans, served on the Bishop’s Senior Staff and played a key role in the leadership of the Diocese. She continues in her role as Chair of the Association of English Cathedrals and, following the retirement of Bishop Alan, chaired the Vacancy in See Committee. The Dean is a member of the Bishop’s Council and serves as part of Diocesan Synod, reflecting the Cathedral’s close partnership with the governance and discernment of the Diocese.
The Revd Canon Will Gibbs, Canon for Mission and Pastoral Care, undertook extensive diocesan responsibilities. He served as Chair of the House of Clergy of Diocesan Synod and Chair of the Agenda Committee. In addition, he chaired the Verulam House Fund Trust and the Diocesan Wellbeing Group, and was a member of the Diocesan Board of Patronage, the Diocesan Environmental Group, the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisory Panel, and the Diocesan Nominations and Governance Committee. Canon Gibbs also acted as the Bishop’s Visitor to The Hub Church BMO and served alongside the Dean on the Bishop’s Council.
SERVICE
The Revd Canon Dr Kevin Walton, Canon Chancellor, continued to make a significant contribution to ministerial formation across the Diocese. He taught regularly on the Eastern Region Ministry Course, supporting ordinands, readers, and others undertaking training for licensed ministry.
The Revd Vanessa Jefferson, Precentor, served as a member of Diocesan Synod, contributing to the representative and consultative life of the Diocese through her liturgical and governance responsibilities.
The Revd Canon Tim Lomax, serving as Diocesan Director of Mission and Ministry, and the Revd Canon Tim Bull, serving as Diocesan Director of Vocations and Non-Executive Residentiary Canon, both held senior diocesan leadership roles, offering strategic oversight of mission, formation, and vocation across the Diocese.
Alongside these formal responsibilities, the Cathedral clergy regularly preached and ministered in parishes throughout the Diocese, particularly on special occasions and during times of vacancy, as Cathedral commitments allowed. This generous sharing of ministry and experience remained a vital expression of the Cathedral’s calling to resource, support, and encourage parish life, and to serve the Diocese in living God’s love.
GOVERNANCE & SAFEGUARDING
The Chapter is the Cathedral’s governing body. Chaired by the Dean, it has primary responsibility for ensuring that the Cathedral carries out its purposes for the public benefit and is effectively and properly run. It is supported in this work by four key committees: the Nominations Committee, the Finance Committee, the Audit and Risk Committee, and the Mission and Ministry Committee.
In March 2025, the Chapter and the Cathedral’s Senior Management Team met to begin initial discussions about the Cathedral’s next significant fundraising project, which will be linked to the 150th anniversary of St Albans becoming a diocese, city and cathedral. In December 2025, the Chapter and the Mission and Ministry Committee met again to develop these plans further and ensure they aligned both with the needs of our local worshipping community and with our role as the mother church of the Diocese.
The Cathedral adopts in full the Church of England’s Safeguarding Policy for Children, Young People, and Adults: Promoting a Safer Church (2017). Our Safeguarding Policy and Procedures, rooted in these national guidelines, provide a clear framework for identifying and supporting vulnerable groups, outlining what constitutes abuse, and detailing the processes to be followed. They emphasise safe recruitment practices, as well as the responsibility to support and train all staff and volunteers.
At the Cathedral’s annual staff day, the Canon for Mission and Pastoral Care and Safeguarding briefed all employees on safeguarding standards and expectations. This commitment to best practice has continued throughout the year through regular staff meetings and ongoing support.
There are no significant new governance or safeguarding issues relating to the Cathedral to report.
