**Charity Commission on public benefit)**|During the 2025-year period the Church has enjoyed being able to welcome those in the
community with faith, or no faith to join with us in worshipping God during our Sunday
services. We also encourage the community via personal invite and electronic means to
attend our other regular activities. The Church has endeavoured to make our services as
inclusive as possible to those unable to attend our Sunday morning gatherings in person,
therefore we have continued to live broadcast our Sunday services through live feed on
our Facebook page, this enables us to make our time of worship and teaching available
to all in the online community irrespective of age, gender, mobility and faith.
The Church has continued to offer support to those suffering through sickness and
hardship by spiritual and practical means. During 2025 The Church made a donation of
£725 to ‘Helping Hands & Healing Hearts’ Children’s ministry located in Baguio City in the
Philippines. This gift was used for the welfare of orphaned and terminally ill children. The
Church also gave £725 to ‘Eden Children’s Village’ in Zambia which also cares for and
educates orphaned children. In addition to this the Church gave gifts of £700 to Release
International which supports Christians around the world being persecuted for their
faith, £925 to Good News For Everyone which distributes free copies of the Bible to
schools and colleges and in other places in the community, £1,230 to fill and send
‘shoeboxes’ for Operation Christmas Child which distributes these shoeboxes filled with
Christmas gifts to Children in need around the world and £500 to Samaritan’s Purse who
operate emergency medical care and pastoral support to those caught up in world crisis
situations from wars to natural disasters. The Church also gave financial gifts to local
people suffering extreme hardship.| |---|---| ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** |You**may choose**to include further
statements, where relevant, about:
•
policy on grantmaking;
•
policy programme related
investment;
•
contribution made by volunteers.|Making the Church inclusive and engaging is a big priority and therefore all members of
Millpool Hill Church are encouraged to consider volunteering by regularly participating in
the various aspects of the management and programme of the charity.
Opportunities to volunteer and serve have included getting involved in our public
worship services including leading services, teaching, playing musical instruments, Bible
reading, operating sound and visual systems, assisting the treasurer with counting the
cash offering and offering up prayers. We have seen other volunteers involved by helping
with cleaning and maintenance, looking after the grounds, hospitality, and stewarding.
Throughout the 2025-year period we have managed to see a good proportion of those
who regularly attend the Church volunteer their time and abilities to help strengthen and
achieve the aims of the Church/Charity.
The work of all our hard-working volunteers is very much appreciated and valued. We try
to ensure that each volunteer understands they are valued and they are also given clear
direction and if necessary relevant and appropriate training.| |---|---| ## Section D Achievements and performance March **2012** **TAR** 3 ## Section D Achievements and performance |**Summary of the main**
**achievements of the charity**
**during the year**|Throughout the 2025-year period the Church has focused on its stated objectives.
The Church has also focused on creating and nurturing a positive, welcoming and
inclusive culture through its in-person services and continued online engagement with
the community.
The Church continues to use small groups in homes called ‘CONNECT’ for the purpose of
discipleship, teaching, prayer and fellowship. We believe that small groups promote
growth, both spiritually and also relationally and are helpful for the delivery of pastoral
care. Throughout 2025 the Church had three CONNECT groups running, and we are trying
to encourage more people attend a CONNECT group.
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 uses 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. This use of the website and social media page is constantly reviewed and
developed where necessary to ensure we are clearly communicating to those who access
information by online means. 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.
The Church car park was developed at the end of 2023 with car parking for approx. 21
cars. This has meant that during the 2025 period the Church has been more accessible to
the community and particularly to those with mobility issues.
The Church hosted a ‘Community Fun Day’ on Saturday 5thJuly to raise the profile of the
Church in the local area and increase a sense of community with local residents. This was
the second ‘Community Fun Day’ that the Church has hosted, with the first one being in
July 2024. The 2025 ‘Community Fun Day’ was well attended and immediate positive
feedback was received.| |---|---| ||| |**Section E Financial review**|| |**Brief statement of the charity’s policy**
