## **The Board of Trustees of the Antiochian Orthodox Parish of Central London Registered Charity Number: 1108200 Trustees Report, 2020-2021** ## **Summary of the objectives of the charity as set out in its governing document:** To advance the Christian Faith of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Church by the provision of a church for worship and associated religious activities. To advance the education of the public, including the children, in the Faith of the Antiochian Orthodox Church. To provide acts of charity, mercy, and relief consistent with the Antiochian Orthodox Faith. ## **Summary of main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objectives:** The regular public celebration of the Divine Liturgy on Sunday together with other occasional services as required and when possible; teaching of the Faith and its practical implications (consistent with the objectives of the charity) to enquirers, catechumens, children and members of the Antiochian Orthodox Church. The Board of Trustees are legally responsible for all civil aspects of the parish. In order to fulfil these responsibilities, the Board has met at intervals, for the most part online during the year, to discuss, among other day to day issues: ## **Covid 19** This has been a difficult year which has severely impacted our normal activities owing to lockdowns and government restrictions on public assembly. During the lockdown our services were suspended and when restrictions were first relaxed, we were required to limit the number of people attending. This resulted in a reduction in income from weekly contributions. However, Trustees were able to counteract this loss by taking advantage of the government furlough scheme for our one employee and negotiating a reduction in rent for the period when we were not using the church. Towards the end of the period covered by this report things were beginning to return to normality and Trustees look forward to a full and settled resumption of our activities. ## **Safeguarding** Trustees continue to monitor safeguarding and ensure that all volunteers are DBS checked as appropriate.
