Policy on grant making Para 1.38
Policy on social investment
including program related
investment
Para 1.38 The Trustees apply the funds of LWC at
their discretion and in accordance with the
charitable purposes on objectives of the
Charity.
Contribution made by
volunteers
Para 1.38 The LWC Food Bank is run by volunteers
and provides a safe, warm space, food
parcels, refreshments, and fellowship
regularly to 35+ families every week. The
team of volunteers do not stop for rest
weeks, summer break, or holidays and the
facility is available every Friday, all the year
round. The team of Volunteers are
passionate to serve the local community.
The team of dedicated volunteers commit 2
days per week, starting Tuesdays with
finding additional resources to FareShare,
a service paid for by LWC.
FareShare redistribute surplus food from
some of the UK’s top food companies to
nearly 8,500 charities and community
groups, including LWC.
The team locate and collect additional food
donations from local shops and stores, e.g.
Spar and Morrisons and Bookers and bring it
to church to unpack, store, and redistribute
for Fridays.
The volunteers bridge the gap and provide a
safe warm place with drinks and biscuits,
soup and toasties, in addition to the weekly
Food Parcel. It is a weekly event, someone
to talk to, have fellowship and the church

3

provides a communal meeting place.
PlayDates is a weekly event for mums,
dads, carers, and toddlers during term time
for the local community, staffed by
volunteers. Playdates benefit many
families in our locality and some of the
families also receive weekly food parcels
from the LWC Food Bank.
The families and their young children can
come and play and enjoy a variety of
activities. It is a safe environment where
people can relax and meet other adults
The team interacts with everyone and offers
support with prayer when asked.
The team have 2 First Aiders and have been
trained in Safeguarding.
Other Children’s Ministry:
Each week we have children who attend
Sunday school from age 3 to 11 with an
average of 30 children, but this can vary
from 15 to 40 Children.
At present the children all come out of the
main service after worship and we walk as
one group down to our neighbouring Church
St Paul’s Church where we rent out several
rooms on Sunday mornings, as our
attendance numbers have increased and we
are running out of space.
We are integrating fun and faith with a time
of worship, prayer and an introduction to the
lesson, refreshments and encouraging the
children to build relationships and fellowship
with each other.
Throughout the year the team of 15
committed volunteer leaders (who are all
DBS checked and have attended
Safeguarding training) also organise
additional children’s events, e.g. summer
picnics, park days out, annual light parties
and Christmas play and parties.
The nativity play was a great success with
such hard work from all the team and the
children. We had the privilege of joining our
children and youth together to act out the
nativity in a fun and engaging way in the
church in front of the whole congregation.

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.
Para 1.20 We have become a diverse multicultural
church which also included a number of
Workers especially from around the African
Nations who have found the church to be an
encouraging place of stability and
reassurance as many have left families and
friends to come to work here. It has been a
pleasure to see that they have been able to
find and grow in the community here.
As a growing church it has been
necessary to keep 2 Sunday morning
services 9.30 and 11.30 am, making an
intense demand on the Pastors, Leaders,
Worship Team and Volunteers.
Several New Christian and Baptismal
events took place throughout the year as
people joined us and they felt part of what
God is doing through
our Church.
The aim is to establish a loving, genuine
Christian Community. LWC is a praying
church with prayers taking place every day
of the week. In addition to Zoom meetings,
Midweek Prayer and Worship Meeting
allowed the congregation to grow in deeper
fellowship and connection with one another.
Helping people explore their faith and their
relationship with God can happen both
during and outside of church services using
fun church activities. Social events took
place throughout the year for youth, adults,
families, small groups, ladies and men’s
breakfasts, outings, walks and BBQs.
Opportunities were created for people to
engage with each other, learning together

5

and have fun while building deeper spiritual connections. Events were regularly advertised via posters, leaflets and via the LWC Church Handbook, made accessible via the LWC Information Point in the foyer, open Sundays from 10 am – 2pm. Upper Room Cafe’ Upper Room Café, a café within our church which has opened regularly on a Thursday except in school holidays, it has seen 10 – 20 people attending regularly on a weekly basis and has become a hub for community. The Upper Room is also used on a Sunday mainly for refreshments for the congregation. Our Sunday Morning Volunteers who facilitate our 2 Sunday Morning Services are provided with Breakfast and refreshments. The café is an integral part of LWC church community and growth, helping to build stronger relationships.

Achievements against
objectives set
Para 1.41 As a next step to “Lifestyle Discipleship”
where we would all gather together in one
place sitting around tables to share with one
another about our weeks and any prayer
needs and then study the Bible. We
launched our Discipleship Groups in homes.
As we have grown, we aimed to build deeper
relationships in smaller groups.
We launched 11Discipleship Groups around
Torbay for people to engage and enjoy social
interactions as well as going deeper into the
Word and their faith. Each group has around
12 people in it. including the leaders and it is
progressing well. We aim to increase these
groups by raising additional new leaders.
JOY Ministries - has continued to develop
the over 60’s group through regular
meetings and fellowship, plus the use of a
dedicated WhatsApp group for
communication, prayer needs and
requests. The group has over 50 regulars
members and includes those from age 60
up to our current oldest member of 93, a
very active group of very friendly and
helpful members of Living Waters Church
who support each other.
Legacy Youth, ages 11-18 meet during the
week for‘catch up’and Bible study, games

6

and activities, including sport and are great opportunities to invite friends along. We launched ‘Youth Alpha’ which has been a great success seeing an average of 25 youth attend, but at times reaching up to 30 attending. The team has done a great job in providing a meal for the youth on these nights which takes place once a month in the Upper Room area. Youth Alpha has been very instrumental in building relationships and allowing the young people to ask honest and open questions about faith and life. It has been a great venture which we celebrate. We have decided to continue the idea of a meal together once a month while learning about faith together as the youth really enjoy it. Sundays are a time for teaching and conversation, a committed team of 8 leaders facilitate, manage and co-ordinate these events, while some also serve on the worship team. The leaders have also organised a few events outside of church such as bowling etc. Several of our Youth are also part of the media team who ensure the transmission and quality of LWC’s online services. The LWC Worship Team currently consists of 20 members: 2 drummers, 1 bass guitarist, 1 guitarist, 3 singers, and 2 keyboard players. We have 6 Media desk team, 5 Camera team. The rota is organised and issued to the team one month in advance of services. The team meet weekly on Thursday evenings to rehearse the Sunday worship sets, and gather again on Sunday mornings for soundchecks and a final run-through before the first service. The same team lead worship at both the 9:30 am and 11:30 am services. Each set includes up to four prepared songs, which often leads into an extended period of spontaneous worship. As a church, the new year began with a 7 day period of prayer and fasting, during which the worship team led worship each evening, from Monday 6[th] January 2025 to 12th January 2025. Between the period of April 2024 and March 2025,16 new songs were introduced. Some of the team also wrote their own

Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held
Para 1.22 The Trustees agree that a Reserves Policy is
required to plan responsibly for times when
funds may become low in order that the
church can continue to meet its financial and
contractual obligations during this period.
In agreeing the level of reserves, the
Trustees considered their financial
obligations and a figure of £16,000.00 have
been set.
This has been calculated as follows:
� To pay the staff one month’s
wages.
� To cover the monthly cost of insuring
the property for three months
� To meet our electricity/gas/water,
salaries etc. commitments for one
month and meet redundancy costs
The Policy is reviewed annually and the list
of assets is updated, the amount of reserve
reviewed to ensure that this is still applicable
to meet the commitments of the church.
