## **Achievements and Performance**
||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|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|The charity continued to build on the
successes of previous years, with
continued church and community activities.
The number of the congregation increased
across all areas – adults, youth and
children, enabling an increase in activities
and further expansion of the church
leadership team.
In addition to weekly church services,
children’s activities, parent and toddler
groups, special events continued to be
delivered including Passover, Easter,
Mothers and Fathers Day services,
together with the regular Christmas
services – Children’s party, Nativity and
Carols by candlelight all attracted good
engagement with the community.
Having bought a baptistry in 23-24,
preparation for being able to hold multiple
baptism services, we held our first baptism
service using the baptistry. This was a|
great success and will become a regular part of the church calendar. To supplement the influx of new members, we delivered several courses to ground people in the fundamentals of the Christian Faith (Alpha Course) and evangelism (God Loves You). The church connected with the God Loves You event organised by an international organisation, partnering with the organisers to promote the event, and taking two coaches of people to the main event. For several years, the church has sponsored a child through Compassion and maintained that sponsorship throughout the year. The minibus, purchased in 2021 continues to be an excellent asset, making the provision of trips for children and adults much easier, while also being used to collect and deliver large food volumes for the food pantry. The church continued to provide a food pantry to those who were struggling financially. A food bank remained available as an emergency provision, although the pantry remained our primary provision of food support to the community. We maintained connections with several organisations and companies that could provide food (such as FareShare and Morrisons Wednesbury), which provided food for the food pantry. The pantry operates on the social supermarket model, where members pay a small weekly fee and can then choose what food they wish to ‘buy’, typically four or five times the value of the weekly fee. There are high costs involved with running the pantry and providing the food, but the income, together with the donations of food, mean that the net cost to the church is minimal at this time. Energy costs associated with the pantry remained on the fixed tariff contracts which continue into 2025-26. We have continued to organise public events and these continue to be very well attended and are essential in maintaining the good standing of the church in the local community. This year we have started to offer craft events to the community at a fraction of commercial rates. These have been very well received and offer the community the chance to get experience art and craft activities that they otherwise
might struggle to attend. The purchase of the equipment associated with the craft activities means that these can be offered for years to come. We are again the main organisers of the Friar Park Christmas lights switch on event, which is a core activity of the Christmas calendar for the community. The event is attended by upwards of 1,000 people from the community and includes a fair, live performances and craft stalls for local sellers. The church continues to partner with community groups and continued to be the meeting place for the Women’s Rotary club, which meets at the church once a month. We maintained a baby bank following the completion of last year’s grant that enabled the church to buy moses baskets and essentials for new mothers who struggle financially. The church has a weekly keep fit group for the older generation that is very well attended. During the summer we again took a large number of our youth to the Limitless festival at Stafford Showground. This is an event attended by upwards of 5,000 people and allowed the young people to experience an environment that they do not usually have exposure to. The number of people we took this year increased by 50%. We also partnered with a touring youth event called Extreme. The organisers partner with churches and visit for two days. The first day they advertise a youth event, visiting places where the local youth hang out, speaking to them and promoting the event which takes place the following day. The event itself was well attended and we plan to partner with the group again in 2025/26. The process of reviewing/updating church policies and procedures continued, with regular updates as required. We continue to partner with ThirtyOne Eighty with regards to safeguarding procedures.

|Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|The charity remains in a good position at
the end of 2024/25 with total funds of
£25,614. Income was £79,766 and
expenditure was £85,797, a net decrease
of £6,031 for the year.
Grant funded projects from the previous
financial year were successfully completed
and £22,970 in new grants were secured to
fund work in the community. These
included West Midlands Police My
Community funding and projects focussing
on community health with Sandwell MBC
and Active Black Country.
Offerings and donations decreased slightly
from £45,824 to £43,011 but still leaving
the charity with a good unrestricted
balance.
The food pantry expenses remain within
our planned expenditure for the project and
we will maintain this activity going forward.|
