Activities and achievements

The charity operates a non-denominational church, Canley Community Church which meets at Charter Avenue, Coventry, CV4 8DA. The Trustees aim to provide well-furnished premises to cater for the wide range of activities undertaken in the buildings.

The Church was established in November 1956 on its current site, and now has a formal membership of approximately 45 in number.

The church has operated a number of activities throughout the year including

e Sunday services e Mid-week house groups and Bible study groups
e Mid-week craft groups and social activities (eg Cameo) e Aterm-time community café on two days a week e Other community activities
Similarly, the church has operated the following activities for children and young people e Sunday morning children’s groups e Mid-week carers and toddlers’ groups e Friday after-school youth café e Monday evening youth Bible study

John Walters has continued to be supported in his work as a missionary overseas. In addition, gifts have also been provided to Christian ministries where the church has a connection.

In order to perform these activities, and achieve its objectives, the Charity has employed the following full and part time workers:

e MrT Houston — Pastoral Community Worker e Ms M Brooker— Church Community Worker e MsL Cutts — Catering Manager e MsC Howarth — Catering Assistant

Whilst the church does employ and support these workers, it is the work of every member of the church, employed or not, that will make the difference in the church achieving its aims. This is done by the church members being involved in the everyday life of the community, in public teaching and worship, and also in administration. Much of this work is done privately, without recognition and the hours and the value of that time cannot be quantified.

Financial review

The Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

The Charity’s principal source of funds is donations from the Church members. However, in addition, the attendees of the Community Café contribute to support the direct costs of their activities, and rental income is received from the property owned by the charity.

The Charity operates by using several funds, to monitor and maintain expenditure in line with resources as below:

e General: Main fund for incoming donations and transfers out to support the other funds e Missionary: Supports the Church’s full-time missionary, short term missionaries and other mission works
e Outreach: Supports the wide range of outreach works to the local community include children’s and youth works, and mid-week activities such as CAMEO
e Building Care & Services: Supports the general church running costs and building maintenance
e Church House: Relates to income and expenditure of the church house.
. © Church Workers: Supports the employees of the church as they work for the church in the local community
e Café: Relates to the direct income and expenditure relating to the café and catering activities
e Trustees’ discretion: Holds amounts given for specific reasons, but to be used at the discretion of the Trustees

The balance on these unrestricted funds, is targeted to be at a minimum of 3 months expenditure equivalent.

In addition, there is a building reserve unrestricted fund, which is set aside for significant expenditure that may occur on the church buildings.

Restricted funds represent amounts earmarked by individuals for specific church uses, individual missionaries or Christian workers.

The Trustees monitor bank balances and reserve levels on a monthly basis to ensure funds are sufficient to continue the Church's activities.
