WESLEY HOUSE REPORT

-4-

.

Just Homes reports to Wesley House Committee quarterly which reports to Trustees of Stratford Methodist Church at Church Council meetings. There is a very good working relationship between Stratford Methodist Church and Just Homes.

Overview:

Just Homes are in their 3 Year of managing Wesley House and have full occupancy. The team are on site daily and have been maintaining the property very well. The council increased their funding this year and they’ve passed on this to us, in-line with our agreement. We have not had any meetings with Just Homes during this period, however we are in regular communications with them and issues are resolved when they arise.

Bills

Just Homes have kept up to date with paying their invoices on time and are responsible for paying the council tax directly, however the Water, Gas, Electricity is paid to us when they receive their invoice. Following a review of the formula used for caiculating the invoice for gas and electricity, an error was discovered which had been present for over 12 months, resulting in lower bill being generated. The error has subsequently been corrected and verified by Just Homes, and correct invoices have been generated since March 2020. It was agreed that the outstanding balance from the previous bill will be waived.

Repairs

Modification to room into an office has been completed and has been in use for most of this year. The lighting system in the corridors has been replaced as agreed last year and there has not been any reports of bulbs blowing periodically. Apart from this, there has not been any major repairs this year. In May, one of the circuit breakers in the consumer unit for the electric showers blew and had to be replace. Other issues included lack of the hot water supplies in some of the rooms but these have been sorted out. There is ongoing investigation into the radiator thermostat for Wesley House as the heating came on during the summer when it was not supposed to.

,

Major Incident

A resident was scolded by hot water because of a burst shower hose in August 2019 and a full investigation has been completed. The resident has issued a claim against Just Homes for negligence and the case is now with their lawyers. Upon request from Just Homes, we have provided information about the installation of the Showers Units and any repairs/ maintenance history. We await the outcome of this litigation.

The community centre has a table top sale every 3rd Saturday of month and we also run a lunch club every Thursday — once month a representative from the local council visit to give a talk on range of topics (health, financial matters and other services the council offers).

Our income for this year has been in line with previous years until we had to close due to the Covid — 19 pandemic where the community had no income for 5 months.

During period of the centre being closed we worked really hard to keep in touch with all users of centre via email, regular telephone calls and Zoom meetings.

The community centre also worked with Newham Food Alliance and Sphere Support CIC to run a food bank during the period of lockdown where we providing food for delivery and collection by the local community.

With regard to building and maintenance work in 2019/20 please see property report on Page 2 but we would like to highlight some of the work that have been done at the Community Centre.

CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT

We give thanks and praise to God Most High for protecting us and families to now.

| hope you will agree with me that we all started the year 2020 with hopeful expectations. However, we all have seen that nobody knows what the future holds.

Hardly did anyone dream or know that the whole world would go into lockdown and come to a halt of almost all activities of the economy.

| asked some very Senior Citizens with advanced age thinking they would be able to share light on what the world started experiencing since mid-March 2020. They all said that, in all their lifetime, they had not experienced anything like the COVID 19 experience before.

Again, this shows that the world does not belong to us as human beings. Instead, it belongs to the one who created it and knows its future —- God Most High in Christ Jesus. To Him be glory forever. From last year September 2019, the Church continued to be part of Faith in Schools where the Ministers invited to join Faith in Schoois’ staff and other Multi Faith Leaders in Schools to share the Gospel of Christ and experiences as Christians and what the Bible says about life after death. It was such fun and amazing to learn from the pupils’ perception about death.

The Minister represented the Church in TELCO meetings eg in Anchor House to discuss and lobby the Politicians to provide affordable accommodation for people on low income and to pay workers decent London wages to help them make ends meet for poor families .

On the 4!" of September, the Newham Circuit welcomed our Superintendent Rev Asif Karam and Rev. Nigel Lindsay. They replaced Rev Nicola Vidamore who left to Milton Keynes.

There were Pastoral visits by the Minister to the Nursing Home in Keir Hardie to lead Services and Holy Communion and to chat with the Senior Citizens there which were such delight as they felt comfortable and shared stories of their past. Some were also prayed with at their request including some of the staff.

The Minister paid pastoral visit to children in the Hospital eg the Great Ormond Street prayed and shared the Gospel of Christ’s love and comfort in times of difficulties with some families.

There were weekly visits to the Westfield Shopping Centre to chat and check on the wellbeing of the Holiday Hotel Workers and Staff in other Shops and prayed with some of them at their request. The Minister joined the Ghana Fellowship Night Vigil Prayers once a month, praying for all members and the Methodist Church as a whole as well as for world peace.

-8-

Apart from the above activities, the minister led regular Sunday Services in the various Churches within the Circuit including her own three Churches namely Stratford, Keir Hardie and Stratford Newtown Methodist Church in the evenings. She also led Weekly Bible Studies and Prayers for the Older Adults in the morning and for the Youth in the evening, which were well attended.

In addition to that Funerals, Weddings, Baptisms and Confirmation were conducted in the Church and the Community by the Minister on request.

There were meetings for Faith Leaders in Newham which the minister attended as part of belonging to the Ecumenical Churches to shine the light of Christ in Newham.

The minister is part of the Inspire Chaplaincy Team and Street Pastors who meet to share the Gospel of Christ with the Community and the Homeless and sign post enquirers to places for social support.

The Stratford Methodist Church is part of the Night Shelter helping to accommodate the Homeless during the winter months on voluntary basis

The Church also donated £1,280.00 to support Zimbabwe during the Cyclone that devastated the Country,

During the Christmas, the Church organised Christmas Party and exchanged gifts in the form of Secret Santa to bring laughter and joy to the Church Community.

Some Volunteers in the Church run a Weekly Thursday Lunch Club and Conversation Cafe’ with Chair Exercises, to encourage people from the community to socialise and this is supported by one of the Newham Counsellors’- Shah Lakmini.

Since March 2020, you will agree with me that as a congregation we have not been able to do much together because of the Covid 19 lock down for almost six months.

Throughout those periods, the Minister organised Zoom Services every Sunday for our two Churches and friends who wanted to link in. Pastoral calls to check on members’ wellbeing were made and food parcels sent to the Senior Citizens in the Church Community

‘You tube’ Services were also organised for the Circuit in which many members were encouraged to join and participate since no one was allowed to come to the Church physically due to the COVID19 virus which plagued the world.

A big ‘Thank You’ to all those who were involved in the Church Services. Up till now, some

-9-

people have expressed a longing to continue the Zoom Services even though the Church has reopened. The Ministers are thinking of a way to incorporate that to our normal Sunday Services to benefit those who are still shielding at home.

So, we need ‘IT Experts’ to help us start Live Services again from the Church. Please speak to Elizabeth the Minister or Eric if you can help.

During the lockdown, | believe a lot of people did a lot of things to keep themselves busy and others like myself were very busy attending Zoom meetings and Trainings on line like Bereavement Support, Unconscious Bias, Best Practise, Children’s Ministry, Newham Council various meetings for Champions and a lot more. For me | thank God for helping me to use my time well, and more especially doing more than | could physically go to places for meetings and trainings.

My sincere thanks go to some of our members who worked hard behind the scenes to prepare the Church to be reopened. It is good not to mention names lest | leave out somebody. | thank God for them and pray God is blessing over them and their families.

Thank you to everyone who have contributed financially to the Church to enable us meet our financial obligations and all those who continue to support the Church in various ways.

Even though the Church has reopened, there are still uncertainties in the country today due to the Covid 19 pandemic. However, we are hopeful that our God through Christ Jesus who loves us and has seen us through all these difficult days will continue to see us through. In addition, as the Apostle Paul in his letterto the Ephesians says: 3:17- 18 ° | pray that Christ will make His home in your hearts through faith. | pray that you may have your roots and foundation in love, so that you, together with all God’s people may have the power to understand how broad and long, how high and deep is Christ love” for you (Good News Bible)

Let us therefore, hold on tight to thé faith we profess and continue to ask Christ Jesus to help and give us the strength to finish the race set before us with confidence and joy, knowing that our work in Christ will never be in vain.

Thank you and May God bless you all richly.

We recognise the need to be accountable as charity trustees for all the money, which comes into our hands and will provide further information as required by the Church Council : A structure for the risk based assessment of the free reserves requirement was set by the Stratford Methodist Church Council. This sets the target free reserves of £160,000.

Community Centre pays for expenses of running the Community Centre and unexpected loss of income from user groups. We aim to have a cash reserve of £180,000 for the Church and for the Community Centre. We currently have about £145,891 in our total reserve and we need a further £34,109 to archive our target of reserve. The reserve will cover the six months operating expense and start working through projects which have been approved by the Church Council.

“We are followers of Jesus Christ, and we seek to enter into his thinking about wealth and its place in our life and actions both individually and collectively.

Continually looking to see if it is producing the fruit of the Spirit and the signs of the Kingdom. Having a sense of gratitude to God for the resources entrusted to us.

Applying wisdom in being good stewards of all resources.

Deepening a sense of trust in God’s ability to provide for our needs rather than depending upon our own sense offinancial security.

Sustaining a spirit of mutual care and the sharing of resources with one another.”

Being faithful in using our resources in ways that release new possibilities and care for those who minister on our behalf.”
