During the 2024-year period the Church has continued our established culture of welcoming those in the community with faith, or no faith to join with us in worshipping God during our Sunday services. We also very much welcome the community to join with us for our other regular stated activities. To be as inclusive as possible to those unable to attend Sunday services in person the Church has continued to live broadcast its Sunday services through live feed on its Facebook page, this enables us to make our time of worship and teaching available to all in the online community irrespective of age, gender, **Summary of the main activities** mobility and faith. **undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include** The Church has continued to offer support to those suffering through sickness and **within this section the statutory** hardship by spiritual and practical means.

Section D Achievements and performance The Church continued to commit to its objectives throughout the 2024-year period. **Summary of the main achievements of the charity** The Church has sought to continue developing a positive, welcoming and inclusive culture **during the year** through its in person services and continued online engagement with the community. The Church has continued using small groups in homes called ‘CONNECT’ for the purpose of discipleship, teaching, prayer and fellowship. We believe that small groups provide a platform for growth, both spiritually and also relationally and are helpful for the delivery of pastoral care. Throughout 2024 the Church had three CONNECT groups running, and we have plans to increase the groups as more people commit to attending them. The Church has continued to receive generous food donations from its members and members of the wider community. These donations are taken regularly to the local food pantry that we partner with at Yardley Wood Baptist Church. We have also been able to give food packages to some people who have come into the Church desperate for something to eat and then direct them to the local food pantry. 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. We have found that through our ‘Contact us’ facility on our website, some members of the community, who are facing challenges, have asked us to pray for them, or to help them in some other way. Since developing the Church car park at the end of 2023, we now have car parking for approx. 21 cars. This has meant that during 2024 the Church has been more accessible to the community and particularly to those with mobility issues. The Church celebrated its 85[th] Anniversary during July and to celebrate this milestone the Church hosted a ‘Community Fun Day’ on Saturday 6[th] July. The purpose of the Fun Day was to raise the profile of the Church in the local area and increase a sense of community to local residents. The day was well attended and with overwhelming positive feedback the Church has decided to make this an annual event for the community.
## **Section E Financial review**
The Church operates with a reserves policy that ensures the charity has reserves for a **Brief statement of the charity’s policy** minimum of three months operational expenditure. **on reserves Details of any funds materially in deficit Further financial review details (Optional information)** The Church continues to receive its main income through the generous and regular You **may choose** to include additional financial giving of its members and attendees. information, where relevant about: • the charity’s principal sources of The Church’s primary expenditure in relation to its aims and objectives is the funds (including any fundraising); remuneration of its contracted staff who serve the church through a spiritual ministry • how expenditure has supported and its administration. the key objectives of the charity; • investment policy and objectives Other expenditure has been seen in the Church’s mission work both in the United Kingdom and other parts of the World. including any ethical investment policy adopted.
