**Additional details of objectives**|||
|---|---|---|
||1. Advance the Christian faith
2. Relieve persons in need or suffering hardship at home and
abroad
3. Advance education|**Commented [P1]:**|
||Currently, with the aim of relieving hardship abroad wherever possible,
we are supporting the building of a “”Community Hub” to help single
mothers in and around Kampala, Uganda as well as to provide food,
shelter, health and basic education. At present up to 50 families are
being supported and we look to empower single mothers with spiritual,
emotional, physical and entrepreneurial skills to create a self- sustainable
income and live a fulfilling life.
In the UK we aim to advance the Christian faith through involvement in
sport and education e.g. provision of Community Youth Football
Leagues, to serve the community by supporting disadvantaged
youngsters to enable them to realise their potential and thereby build
their self-esteem and character. Such leagues operate in the most
deprived areas of Portsmouth, in partnership with local agencies such as
churches, community and /neighbourhood groups and individuals.
We aim to advance education in accordance with Christian principles,
through the provision of suitable programmes, e.g. our Extra Time
literacy scheme.. Such schemes are run in partnership with primary and
secondary schools and colleges to support the national curriculum.
In the UK we aim to build community through provision of our
“Community Lego Club” for home-schooling families. .This is a new
initiative organised for the disadvantaged home schooling families in and
around the Portsmouth area. Within half a day of advertising the club had
a “full house” of 30 families signed up.
We aim to support the poor and needy of Portsmouth through weekly
distribution of food and toiletries, in partnership with the Salvation Army.
Also to serve a Christmas lunch to the homeless of Portsmouth.

3. Advance education|**Commented [P1]:**|
||Currently, with the aim of relieving hardship abroad wherever possible,
we are supporting the building of a “”Community Hub” to help single
mothers in and around Kampala, Uganda as well as to provide food,
shelter, health and basic education. At present up to 50 families are
being supported and we look to empower single mothers with spiritual,
emotional, physical and entrepreneurial skills to create a self- sustainable
income and live a fulfilling life.
In the UK we aim to advance the Christian faith through involvement in
sport and education e.g. provision of Community Youth Football
Leagues, to serve the community by supporting disadvantaged
youngsters to enable them to realise their potential and thereby build
their self-esteem and character. Such leagues operate in the most
deprived areas of Portsmouth, in partnership with local agencies such as
churches, community and /neighbourhood groups and individuals.
We aim to advance education in accordance with Christian principles,
through the provision of suitable programmes, e.g. our Extra Time
literacy scheme.. Such schemes are run in partnership with primary and
secondary schools and colleges to support the national curriculum.
In the UK we aim to build community through provision of our
“Community Lego Club” for home-schooling families. .This is a new
initiative organised for the disadvantaged home schooling families in and
around the Portsmouth area. Within half a day of advertising the club had
a “full house” of 30 families signed up.
We aim to support the poor and needy of Portsmouth through weekly
distribution of food and toiletries, in partnership with the Salvation Army.
Also to serve a Christmas lunch to the homeless of Portsmouth.
