Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2022
ALCC Family Church’s mandate is to outwork the Biblical principles of The Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) and the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:3739) through a dedicated leadership team. We are intentional about positively impacting our local community through the biblical principles of Fellowship, Worship, Discipleship, Pastoral Care and Outreach.
ALCC Family Church embraces social inclusion and aims to reflect the community it serves. We are a multigenerational, and multi-cultural Church and we welcome everyone. The Church works hard to create a culture where everyone can feel, valued and accepted.
Church Building
This year we have had new door to the entrance Hall and a new disabled ramp to the front door.
Governance and Management The trustees and Church council are responsible for making the major decisions regarding the formulation and implementation of the charity’s aims and objectives, and for monitoring and controlling all its financial resources.
To fulfil their role, the trustees and council members held 6 meetings during the year.
Holmewood is a deprived area. The needs of the community are great many suffer with low self-worth many have been in abusive relationships; many live-in poverties and we have many one parent families.
All our workers at ALCC are volunteers 26 volunteers no one receives payment for running any of the mentioned groups below.
The Church leaders recognize that the volunteers and leaders of our many departments work very hard they care about our community and want to touch people lives with Gods love; they are so faithful and sacrifice their time and finances to do so. We appreciate them all and thank them for all their help without them the work would not be able go on.
Main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects this year were:
MUNCHKINS meet on a Tuesday morning 9. 15 am to 11am school term only the children can enjoy soft play, craft activities, stories, singing, music and movement and healthy snacks, whilst the mums catch up over coffee and cake. This is a great place to meet other mums and to help, support and encourage each other.
Dynamite Club 5-11 years old meet on Fridays at 6pm to 7.15pm school term only A special club just for Kids we realise that having a dynamic children’s work plays an important part in creating a place where everyone belongs. Children have fun together crafts, games, singing, football etc. We teach Christian principle, to care and respect each another and the community, to work together as a team. Our aim is to create a happy friendly and exciting place where kids can come along and have fun in a safe environment. Parents are invited to join us for coffee while the children enjoy their meeting. We are well established in our community and local school and have been running now for over 20 years.
LIVING HOPE we have a charity shop / food banks operating under the name of Living
Hope.
The Charity shop in Holmewood is open Monday to Friday and sell donated clothing and Bric-aBrac for the sole purpose of raising funds to buy ambient foods for the two Food Banks, to redistribute to the needy in our Area the Food Banks is located at Abundant Life Christian Centre Holmewood.
Most service users are referred to us for various reasons by Job Centres, Social Services ( All Departments) Schools, C.A.B. Mat Teams, Women’s Aid, Social Housing and some are so desperate they just turn up, as they are not able to provide for their children due to difficult circumstances that have arisen in their lives.
