stewarding and visiting the elderly, sick and needy. It is
impossible to quantify, but it runs into many thousands
of hours.
Other The Church continues to operate a policy for
safeguarding children, young people and adults at risk
and update our practices regularly. We operate safe
recruitment of workers and volunteers with children,
young people and adults at risk, including taking up of
references and DBS checks. We have trained new
workers and monitored workers and volunteers and we
work to guidelines and procedures - all of which are
taken from “Working together to Safeguard Children”
and_“Working together to Safeguard People_”

Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 Public benefit has been provided through
the teaching of the Christian faith,
mentoring of adults and children and
engagement in the services highlighted
above.
In addition to the spiritual and eternal
benefit of such teaching and mentoring, the
core principles at the heart of the Christian
faith should, when implemented, lead to
constructive and progressive engagement
of those mentored with the wider
community.
