Summary ot' the main achievements ofthe charity during the year			The Birmingham Lighthouse is committed to enabling as many people as possible to access worship and services are streamed on social media platforms for those who are unable to attend worship in the building. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer, scripture, music and fellowship.
			When planning our activities for the year, we are mindful to consider
			opportunities to serve the local community. We have been successful in
			welcoming new families into the church and have seen a growth and development in our outreach and ministry to children. We have in place a strong safeguarding policy which is reviewed annually.
			All arrangements are regularly reviewed.
			In regards to income when extraordinary income from 2020 is removed, the income for 2021 has remained remarkably stable —there is still a
			strong base ofthose committed to the purpose and aims ofthe trust to
			ensure that income is stable.
			As well as the mortgage being a major expense so to is the stipends given to the senior members ofthe ministry team —again this reflects the aims and goals in ensuring that there is leadership and teaching that will keep the trust true to its mandate.
			Extraordinary costs, as with last year, are AN equipment coupled with
			building supplies and reflect the desire ofthe trust to equip itself and be in the best position to expedite the purpose the trust is in existence.
			Utilities are a major cost and hopefully can be reduced —part ofthe Covid 19strategy within the trust was to keep the meeting place well-ventilated when in use. This ventilation increased the costs incurred in keeping the meetings at a sensible temperature.
			Finally it should notes that all necessary government legislation was followed pertinent to Covid 19.
