other place of worship in the U.K., has had to follow Government
guidelines in regards to social distancing due to COVID-19. Therefore
since March 2020 the Church has not held in person services but has
conducted all its services via online social media live streaming and used
zoom platforms for small groups and Church Council meetings.
Despite the restrictions and having to conduct our services online the
church has advanced the Christian faith through preaching, teaching and
explaining the Christian faith to others primarily through our Sunday
morning live broadcast called ‘CHURCH at HOME’. The live broadcast is
open to all in the online community irrespective of age, gender and faith.
The Church has continued to offer support to those suffering through
sickness and hardship by spiritual and practical means. During 2020 The
Church made a donation of £617.50 to ‘Helping Hands & Healing Hearts’
Children’s ministry located in Baguio City the Philippines. This gift was
used for the welfare of orphaned and terminally ill children. The church
also gave £703 to ‘Eden Children’s Village’ in Zambia which also cares
for and educates orphaned children. In addition to this the church gave
£280 to the work of the ‘Gideons International’ and responded to a
disaster appeal by giving £430 to help those suffering after the large
explosion in Beirut.| ||**and activities (Optional information) **| ||Volunteers are usually encouraged to regularly participate in many
aspects of the management and programme of the charity; however with
COVID restrictions obviously this has been difficult this year, therefore
apart from cleaning the building and other maintenance jobs much of the
voluntary work in the church has been put on hold.| Section D Achievements and erformance p **TAR** March **2012** 3 Section D Achievements and erformance p The church continued to commit to its objectives throughout the year **Summary of the main** period and although our main Sunday service has been live streamed on **achievements of the charity** social media, it has seen very good attendance during its Sunday **during the year** broadcasts and other online activities over the period. The Church has sought to continue developing a positive, welcoming and inclusive culture through its online engagement with the community. The Church has kept members connected via online services and other meetings via zoom, also information and pastoral care has been regularly given through weekly newsletters/emails and through video and telephone calls. The church has regularly opened its doors once a month in a COVID secure way to receive food donations from its members and members of the wider community to give to the local food bank that we partner with at Yardley Wood Baptist Church. The Church has continued to use and develop its website and social media page as a means of advertising its online services, activities and promoting the aims and objectives of the charity to the community. The Church Trustees are continuing to attempt to purchase the plot of land immediately in front of its building from the City Council for use as a car park. This would then give easier and safer access to the Church’s various services and activities to more people in the community, including those with limited mobility. The Church has gained planning permission to convert the said piece of land into a car park and has also had the land valued by an independent land valuation firm to ensure that we are not being over charged for the land. The Church then made an offer to the City Council for the land based on the independent valuation; however this was rejected by the City Council. The Church Council decided to continue with negotiations with the City Council in the hope of successfully purchasing the land for the car park project and this is ongoing. ## **Section E Financial review** The Church operates with a reserves policy that ensures the charity has **Brief statement of the** reserves equal to three months operational expenditure. **charity’s policy on reserves** **Details of any funds materially in deficit** **Further financial review details (Optional information)** **TAR** March **2012** 4 You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. The Church continues to receive its main income through the generous and regular financial giving of its members and attendees. The Church’s primary expenditure in relation to its aims and objectives is the remuneration of its contracted staff who serve the church through a spiritual ministry and its administration. Other large expenditure has been seen in the Church’s mission work both in the United Kingdom and other parts of the World. The church continues to have budgeted expenditure on its running costs and maintenance, ensuring the building is warm, welcoming and compliant with health and safety standards ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s) Full name(s)** Rev.
