relation to these objects|

There is one Sunday service and a prayer meeting
located in the church each week. A church plant (Metro
Christian Centre, Whitefield) from the Bury church also
exists in Whitefield, Bury holding a Sunday afternoon
service.| ||Various 'Life' groups meet in homes and other venues
mid-week, some in the afternoons, others in the
evenings.
The Sunday programme for children, "Kids Life", is
supplemented by two weekly Youth programmes "Metro
Juniors" and "Metro Seniors".
Revive which is a monthly meeting for mothers.
All the above are supported by a programme of
evangelism, preaching, teaching and training, music
ministry and a social environment catering for all ages.| |Section D|Achievements and performance| |Summary of the main achievements of the
charity during the year|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.
We have maintained our active, regular support of
missions overseas, including Uganda and Zambia, in
addition to donations to other missions fields.


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| ||The church plant at Whitefield is maintaining with a

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.|| ||The annual undesignated income shows a significant
