ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE DURING THE YEAR
Foodbank- The use of our Food Bank (Newham Foodbank) has continued to be a food
source to local communities and members of the church. We are still Emergency
Centre recognised and supported by the Trussell Foundation.
The Food Bank is currently only open on a Sunday however on average, the centre fed
Bank. however this has not impacted on the availability of food for the community.
four families per week, as the demand has increased so has the amount of food donations
received. There has also been an increase in the members of the Church using the Food
Manna continues to work with local providers. This past year, Newham FoodBank
Beckton have been a great contributor to the Food Bank.
Over the past few years, the Church has experienced a surge then a drop off in the
number of families seeking food and other support form the food bank
In 2022 the total attendees were 66 with total food weighed and distributed in Kg
838.7 kg This was the COVID year.
2023 total attendees 35 - total food weighed and distributed in Kg 398 kg, this dropped by
half but on the other hand we received a total of £600 from Newham Foodbank Beckton
In 2024 so far, we have supported a total of ioi attendees, food weighed and distributed
717.45 kg, looks like the demand for food was on the rise again for 2024, We also received

Manna International Church
l A not-for- profit unincorporated Organisationl
£600 from Beekton Foodbank.
The following figures are measured and tracked by keeping a weeldy log of
attendees who come into WGMI and weighing all food that is distributed.
Boxes of Hope - During the year under review, the charity was able to send 20 boxes of
Hope through Samaritans Purse. We sent 3 boxes for 2-4-year-olds, 2 girls and one boy.
We sent 9 boxes for 54-year-olds, 5 boys and 4 girls and we sent 8 boxes for 10-13-year-olds. 4
boys and 4 girls. This year the boxes went to Togo, West Africa. This was again made
possible by the Children's Ministry within the Church. members rose to the challenge and
collected a large range of boxes that were appropriately filled with mostly educational items and
some sweets, If we had allowed the children. it would have been nothing but 5weetsl
Church Services - The Sunday services, Bible studies and Prayer meetings have
continued to grow, and we have been able to study a wide range of subjects and themes.
The Men's Support Group has grown mainly online, with group members sending educational,
inspirational and motivational material within the virtual group.
The group also held some in-person joint discussions with the women's ministy looking
at marriage, relationships, divorce and healthy patterns when dating. Naturally these led to
some very lively debates, and interesting views being aired. It was good fun and was
widely attended by a cross section of visitors and the local community.
Educational Workshops - The Church continues to run a series of educational
workshops related to bible themes. as well as workshops that promote the family, marriage and
Christian values, these workshops are for participants within the local Communities, and
they were extremely well attended with positive feedback from members.
Overseas work- we were able to send two volunteers to the Philippines to support a
small Church with their community Development programmes in an area called Dipolo& these
relationships and networks have continued to grow and forge strong partnerships based
very much on our shared values and our church's commitment to be of support wherever we can.
The volunteers participated in public meetings and outreach, feeding programmes for
children living in remote parts of the county, visited schools and collaborated with the
Mayor of the area in their community development programmes. The held meetings with
the local police talking about civic duties, moral responsibilities and Christian values.

RESERVE POLICY
Given the size of the Church in terms of attendance, members of trustee consider that the Church
is not in the position to maintain a huge deposit but to hold amount sufficient to pay day to day
expenses. In view of this, whatever income the Church generates is applied towards running
cost and ensure that this level can be sustained for at least three months without income.
The charity main source of income continues to be from the generous donations given by its
members. The Church does not generate enough funds yet to support the appointment of a full
or part-time staff. but we very much Sook forward to achieving that aim in the near future.
F￿uRE DEVELOPMENTS
Committee plan to Continue to develop the Food bank program and make it aceessible
to increased number of vulnerable people within the IA)ndon Borough of Newham
Every effort will be made to continue to support the charitable project in the Philippines
through clothes collection in the UK in accordance with observed needs in that country
Newham has continued to progress it's social housing building programme. we have seen
a marked transformation of the high street with the departure of West Ham Football club
whieh is now housing developments or fast-food shops. The area has become congested
for parking on Sundays, but this increase of housing tenants is an increased opportunity to
spread the Christian message and to share our faith in the local community. At least
500/0 of our membership are drawn from outside the borough, which means there is scope
to reach out to local residenls about our presence and showcase the activilies available to
their children and the whole family.
We have written to the local eouncil about the possibility of grant funding to develop a
'warm space, programme for the elderly at least 2 days per week and at the same time
develop a café space for residents to make greater use of the building during the week
which is largely underutilised. We await a response but will continue to discuss the
possibility and hope to complete a scoping exercise to determine the feasibility of the idea
We are also thinking about starting a breakfast club for children as well as an after-sehool
club, early discussions have taken place with two local schools and we will need
volunteers with suitable knowledge and expertise in this area to take the idea forward,
however this is very much part of our ambition to make a greater impact on our community.
So, lots of exciting things to look forward to in the coming year.
We have also seen an increased attendance to our Sunday services, this is very positive and
we are working hard to further improve the way we engage with the general public when they
dojoin us in our services,.
