## **Activities** 

There are several activities, which reflect our commitment to the community: -

**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)**

- - There is monthly informal fellowship held on the first Thursday of each month. This is open to anyone who would like to come.
