**----- End of picture text -----**
a) The Christian faith in accordance with the doctrinal standards and discipline of The Methodist Church; b) Any charitable purpose for the time being of any Connexional, District, Circuit. local or other organisation of The Methodist Church; c) Any charitable purpose for the time being of any society or institution subsidiary or ancillary to The Methodist Church; d) Any purpose for the time being of any charity being a charity subsidiary or ancillary to The Methodist Church. The Church exists to: - e Increase awareness of God's presence and to celebrate God's love e Help people to learn and grow as Christians, through mutual support and care e Become a good neighbour to people in need and to challenge injustice . e Make more followers of Jesus Christ Specifically, Trinity Methodist Church’s aims are: The provision of regular public acts of worship, open to all. The provision of sacred space for prayer and contemplation The teaching of Christianity through sermons and small groups Pastoral work including visiting the sick and bereaved Provision of youth organisations with a Christian ethos Supporting other charities in the UK and overseas financially and with prayer. / Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the Statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) We confirm the trustees had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit Trinity provides worship services ina range of styles. These include a quiet half hour Thursday service twice a month, and a weekly Sunday morning communion. All these services are publicised widely and are open to all. These ceased during lockdown but we have started doing on-line - services on a Sunday via Facebook, plus Sunday evening prayers and mid-week devotions also on facebook. As well as regular services, the church holds Christenings, Weddings and Funerals. It holds special events to encourage contemplation, such as at Christmas, Lent and Easter with extra services and occasional all day meditative events. These are open to all and are publicised around the town and wider area. The church also encourages attendance of house groups to allow church members and anyone else who is interested to study the bible more deeply and encourage fellowship. At present house groups are continuing via zoom and in person. There is a pastoral system so that all who attend the church have a pastoral contact, who can visit them, communicate any needs to the ministry team and keep everyone informed of church events. The minister and pastoral team visit those who are sick, bereaved or in need of help. This extends to any who have links to the church and may wish for a visit. The church is usually open every Saturday morning for anyone to come along for coffee and a chat. Cameo groups also allow monthly get togethers in various houses. Face to face meetings are currently on hold but the pastoral team are keeping in contact with everyone via the phone and by distanced in person meetings. There is usually a fortnightly fellowship group and a weekly badminton group which are open to church members and the wider community and offer chances for people to meet in a more informal setting. Fellowship is currently taking place by more informal methods, such as distanced small group meetings and by phone. The church has a strong Boys Brigade, Girls Brigade and toddler group. All have Christian leadership and are open to all. It also provides a weekly Sunday School and créche during the morning service. The brigades have now restarted face to face meetings.. The leaders had been keeping in touch via phone and email during lockdown. The Church gives to a range of charities, both in the UK and overseas. The young people within the church collect money for JMA, Passing the proceeds to overseas missions. Trinity allows and encourages local charities to hold Saturday coffee mornings to raise money for their funds. We have fortunately been able to continue with some giving during lockdown, though coffee mornings and fund raising events have ceased. “ ## SECTION D ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE ## Summary of the main achievements ofthe charity during the year The year has been a challenging one, as with many charities. Sunday services took place when allowed by regulations, Generally live services took place fortnightly with live broadcasts of the facebook service in the building on other weeks. The pastoral carers have donea sterling job of keeping in contact with the congregation, especially those who need extra support with shopping, hospital appointments etc. In the Winter and Spring quiz nights and social events happened over zoom. In the summer various in person meet ups were arranged in gardens to allow homechurch groups to take place in person. Saturday open gardens replaced the normal coffee mornings. Lettings were greatly reduced by the lockdowns but some groups were able to restart by the end of the year. Playgroup was able to continue all year. The arts group was able to run their holiday clubs for children with additional needs. ## SECTION E FINANCIAL REVIEW ## Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves At present, trustees are trying to keep general reserves at over £10,000, which represents less than 2 months expenditure. ## Details of any funds materially in deficit ## None ## SECTION F OTHER OPTIONAL INFORMATION ## None ## SECTION G DECLARATION The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above **----- Start of picture text -----**
