M3 7BE Section 2 Activities and Achievements **Charity’s activities and achievements during the year in relation to its objects** (for fuller explanation see below) Weekly Services of Public Worship, Christian Training and Study Activities for all age groups including the elderly and the youth Special meetings for advancement of the Christian religion Pastoral care of the Church members, adherents and the wider community Section 3 Declaration ## **The trustees have approved the trustees’ report below.** **Signature: Full name:** Revd Paul S Fermor **Position:** Chairman **Date:** 08/03/2022 ## **Our activities throughout the year have fulfilled these objectives through:** **Church Activities.** Because of the Covid-19 Pandemic, we held our Church activities online via Zoom during January and February. Before resuming our Services in March, we undertook a risk assessment of the building and followed the Government’s guidelines to enable us to meet in a Covid-secure environment. Outlines of the Sunday sermons are distributed each week and also available to download from our church website. Although this difficult year has been challenging for everyone, we have come through it exceptionally well and have been able to adapt to the new norms reasonably well. We had our Church Christmas meal in early December when we had Yan Hadley as our Guest Speaker. **Social.** Understandably, our social activities have been restricted again this year but we had picnics during the summer and restarted our shared lunches in November. **Mission.** Our Church sponsors 6 children to attend the “ _Fervent Academy_ ” school at Pastor Joy Bendoy’s Church in Mandaue City, Cebu, Philippines. This year we gave financial assistance to victims of a devastating fire in Barangay, Mandaue City where Ernesto (a local Pastor) and 20 of his congregation were made homeless. We also paid for an generator for the main Church in Mandaue City, to enable them to have electricity and water after damage from Typhoon Odette (Rai). We also financially support Orphanages in Latvia and Ukraine each month through “ _Smethurst Ministries_ ”. **Ministry.** Paul and the Church both hold status with _Assemblies of God (GB)._ Paul is the _Clerk of Appeals_ with _Assemblies of God (GB)._ This involves offering advice on procedural matters and adjudicating in disputes within _AoG_ . He is also Treasurer for “ _Verah Bassett Trust Fund_ ”—a local Trust that makes small monetary grants to Pentecostal Churches in Kent. Paul is also the Senior Chaplain with _the South East Coast Ambulance NHS Trust_ and oversees 24 Chaplains across the Trust in Kent, Sussex and Surrey. ## **Our plans for the future include** - **Continued structured and inspirational Public Worship, Christian Training and Study.** - **Planned activities for all age groups, including the elderly and the youth.** - **Regular meetings for advancement of the Christian religion and inviting Speakers.** - **The pastoral care of the Church members, adherents and the wider community, including practical help where needed, through both formal and informal activities.** - **Repair and update the Church property and facilities.** ## **Reserves Policy** It is our policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds (if possible) which equates to at least 3 months unrestricted payments (equivalent to £5,000) to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. The balance of **£12,549** more than matched this target. ## **Church Fire Risk Assessment** The Church building has 4 potential fire risk areas: _main hall, minor hall, ancillary rooms and kitchen._ The identified fire hazards are: _gas fires in main hall & minor hall; wooden structure of ancillary rooms_ . The identified people potentially at significant risk are: _people unable to react quickly in main hall and minor hall; people isolated in ancillary rooms._ We evaluated the risks as low due to the close proximity of fire exits and because vulnerable people are always supervised. ## **The existing Fire Arrangements are deemed to be adequate because:** The congregation is regularly reminded of the Fire Arrangements which are displayed on the notice-boards and also announced when appropriate; The emergency lighting and water fire-extinguisher in the main church hall is checked monthly; A Fire Blanket is stored in a prominent place in the kitchen. ## **The Church has Policies for:** _Safeguarding, Complaints, Conflict of Interest, Risk Assessment, Behaviour, Photographs, Data Protection, Cyber Safety, Handling of DBS Certificate Information._ These are reviewed annually, and copies of these Policies may be obtained from the Church Office.
