2020 Review

During the year 2020, we were able to continue with the provision of our keys services and also upgraded some of provisions. Many more individuals and communities in needs were able to benefit from our services.

We registered an increase of 12% in the number of well-wishers, volunteers and 11% more donors. This helped increase and strengthen our provision and services. We also noted 15% increase in support from local partners, churches and businesses.

We added 4 organisations to our existing network of grassroots organisations and churches and were able to provide more strategic support and training to help support our partners.

Working with organisations such as Fair share, Food cloud and giving world helped provide more food parcels and basic need items and clothing to our service users.

There was an increase in intake in our Education and training projects and more support was provided by stakeholders and parents to help meet various needs. We believe we are now better equipped to compete with other schools and Academies and provide a very robust and varied curriculum to our pupils. Further plan to improve the other provision and playground were completed. We are still discussing with potential well-wishers to help with scholarships that will help those who are not able to afford the current fees. The school fees were kept unchanged despite all the additional support and resources added to the academy. The purchase of a mini bus was very welcomed as it enabled pupils to move to other sites and schools to access provision such as swimming pool, tennis courts, BMX facilities, museums and other educational facilities in and around the city. Additional services such as supplementary school were added to help children underperforming and also ensure the sustainability of the education project to avoid continuous reliance on supports from other projects.

We stepped up our work in Africa, strengthening our partnership with grass-root organisations and also developing projects that are tailored towards the needs of the local communities. We provided assistance in the development of poultry farming and preparations for the construction of primary and secondary education provision in Nfou, Cameroon. Further education and training partnership were consolidated with Zambia and we are now working on programs to strengthen the education access and sustainability. We have organised missions to prospect potential site for our projects, main sites have been Solwezi, Livingstone and Chungwe Our twinning programs with Schools in Zambia and Cameroon has been halted by the complications in obtaining the relevant licences.

REACH (Homeless project)

In partnership with organisations such as Fair share, Food cloud, giving world and local churches and with the support of faithful volunteers we continued to provide vital support to the homeless and destitute in Manchester. We registered more clients and more referrals from the City Council. Those whose needs we could not meet were signposted to other local agencies. we were able to provide warm clothes, warm sucks and hats, basic toiletries and food parcels. We were also able to provide basic advice and guidance and signpost to other local organisations. we continued to provide back to work support including volunteering opportunities, and access to facilities such as computers and internet were provided to a number of clients to help them improve their skills, search for jobs and maintain their social life.

What does the future hold for this project?

Provide more structure survives to ensure sustainability both for the service users and the projects, this would include accommodation, training and adult courses.

Youth Enterprise and Employment Hub

This project struggled with a high demand of young people. We have lunched a number of initiatives to take advantage of the apprentice and other education and training opportunities tailored to assist young people post-covid.

Main activities included: graphic design, website design, camera work, sound and video production, music production, radio broadcasting, film and acting. We were able to maintain these services with the support of SOL House and other local businesses.

What do the future hold?

Providing more bespoke training programs and support in job search and upskilling for young people.

Further initiatives are planned to encourage young people to be more entrepreneurial and set up businesses, we are working on potential funding route to assist with start-up cost .

Advancement of Christian Faith

We stepped up in our outreach and mission work both locally and internationally. Progress was made in the implementation of activities aimed at strengthening the basic foundation of faith.

What next: We are looking to further our mission work and also work to plant new worship centres in the UK and abroad.
