The church plant at Whitefield is maintaining with a Sunday afternoon congregation of 30+ adults and a weekly 'Mums and Toddlers' group reaching local people for Christ. A Life Group has been established in the community.

During the year we have continued to proclaim the gospel of, and according to, the Lord Jesus Christ at Bury and Whitefield and provided ministry support to several churches in the wider Manchester area. Led by a staff member, both the Junior and Senior Youth programmes continue to sustain their numbers, although this has been through Zoom during the pandemic |

| Section D (Cont'd) | Achievements and performance | |
|---|---|---|
| The Church operates an approved Child Protection Policy across all its children's and youth ministry based on the model provided by the Churches' Child Protection Advisory Service that is endorsed by the Department of Health and the Department for Education and Skills (see www.ccpas.co.uk for further information). The innovative social care programme, initiated by the church and joined by local schools, known as "Adopt-a- Street" (providing all-inclusive, no-strings-attached care to local residents from a weekly street-clean to regular home visits with the offer of providing practical help or pastoral support) continues its work and is much appreciated by local people. The "Little Acorns" Pre-school maintains its well-earned reputation for excellence, as its Ofsted inspections testify, and remains oversubscribed. It has an overt Christian ethos; however, Muslim families are pleased to enrol their children, who delight in its welcoming atmosphere and wide activities. This outreach closed its doors in Summer The Church, in conjunction with the Oglesby Trust, has instituted a humanitarian project named Trust House in Whitefield, providing meals, assistance, training and a Thrift Shop for the homeless and disadvantaged people in the area, distributing parcels of food donated by local supermarkets and shops. |

| Section E | Financial review | |
| Details of any funds materially in deficit Further financial review details Brief statement of the charity's policy on reserves |
There are no funds in deficit. The charity is financed in the main through the undesignated offerings and gifts received from the congregation, and the trustees aim to maintain these funds to an approximate level of three months unrestricted expenditure of £16,000 total. The annual undesignated income shows a significant decrease mainly because of movement away of church members and reflecting the economic circumstances among our congregation and the pandemic. Our expenditure is correspondingly reduced as necessary adjustments have been made to staff positions. |
