We aim to provide counselling and teaching
services appropriate to our faith and to this
end we join together for Sunday Services and
midweek Prayer and Bible Study, often with
visiting speakers.
We continue to run a foodbank service along
similar principles to Trussell Trust. Referrals
from frontline care workers are made via our
website and our guidelines ensure that clients
do not become overly dependent. Our aim is to
cover short term food supply while government
benefits are being processed. We must not be a
weekly alternative to food shopping, which in
many cases would only encourage support
intended for food to be spent on substance
abuse. Food and Financial contributions are
taken from members, local community,

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference

	Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the diference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its benefciaries and any wider benefts to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	Some services have been replaced with online meetings, however, many members have been unable to participate due to inability to obtain and operate the necessary technology (e.g. no broadband). The spiritual aspects of our teaching and nurturing functions have been hindered for some who are now contacted by telephone on a 1 to 1 basis. Foodbank resumed following the resignation of our part-time pastor. Using the website we were able to minimise face to face contact and document exchange from referrals, however we reverted to collection rather than delivery to minimise risk to volunteers regarding Covid infection. Precautions such as masks and hand sanitiser still applied.

policy for holding building repairs, and to subsidise our
reserves stating why they obligations regarding staff salaries,
are held should we see a decline in regular
financial support from tithes and
offerings. Our reserves once
represented about 10% of the insured

8% of the insured value.
