ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The activities of Kings Church remain much the same but with renewed investment in our building we are operating from a more secure foundation. The congregation continued to be actively involved in our rural communities of the Marsh villages, most especially Manby & Grimoldby while Sunday Services continued to be held at Bowen House on Manby Park, Manby, Lincolnshire. The centrality of Bowen House brings members of the community together for Sunday Lunches, Young Peoples' Activity Weeks and for a variety of purposes during the week. The accommodation on the second floor of Bowen House have now been refurbished. Project 58 is now providing housing and support to ladies that have been homeless. This has added a great injection of life to the building and day to day activity in Bowen House. We have continued to build relationships with people in the area, particularly the elderly and vulnerable members of the community, providing transport, practical help in their homes and a listening ear. The church has continued to run the café on the ground floor for internal use only, providing Sunday lunches for the elderly and vulnerable and mid-week craft and cooking activities for Project 58 residents. Our links with other churches in our local area are strengthened by gathering with other leaders at a cluster breakfast and by some of our leadership visiting other churches. We continue to make ourselves available for any members of the community who seek to understand more about the Christian faith.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The level of reserves is closely monitored by the trustees to ensure any necessary action is taken at the appropriate time.
The charity had incoming resources in the year of £64,825 (2021 - £12,953) and the outgoing resources were £37,758 (2021 - £11,169).
FUTURE PLANS
Ongoing development of the services offered through Project 58, the development of the Community Garden and using the building to develop other community activities will see an increase in our outreach to the local community and beyond. Our aim is to also set up a food bank for the people in the local villages. In order to reach the local youth in the area we are developing a program of outdoor pursuits 'Taste and See' for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds that are unable to access such activities due to poverty. We will continue to offer support and help where needed in our community and be a centre of stability and fellowship for those who desire to attend church and develop their Christian faith. We aim to begin the Alpha courses for those interested in learning more about the Christian Faith. We aim to demonstrate the love of God to all those we come across whether through practical help or spiritual support and encouragement. We aim to see the use of our building continue to grow with a variety of new projects, either of our own, or through hiring out to local people and organisations.
