OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims Background
Gillingham is the most northerly town in Dorset. It has a population of over 12,000 and is one of the fastest growing towns in the South West. The town has been identified by Dorset Council as one of the main centres that will deliver the most growth in the next 8-10 years.
Gillingham Community Church is an independent Christian Church that was established in the early part of this century, and is a member of the Pioneer network of churches (www.pioneer.org.uk) and the Evangelical Alliance (www.eauk.org). It was registered as a charity in 2009, and became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in 2023 (charity number 1129261).
One of the primary aims of Gillingham Community Church is to work out our faith in practical ways. We believe that as a church, we are called to serve our local community by bringing God's kingdom of hope and light. Our specific emphasis is on reaching out to, and helping the poor, oppressed, disadvantaged and marginalised of all ages. A large focus of our activities is therefore centred on providing valuable services to the local community, working alongside other organisations where appropriate. These services are provided free of charge, are made a available to all without discrimination, and are provided with the help of more than 40 volunteers. All staff (paid or volunteers) have safeguarding training and DBS checks are undertaken where possible and whenever required.
Introduction
During the current reporting period, the church has continued to operate out of our premises (Wessex House) in Gillingham High Street. Regular church and community activities have largely returned pre-pandemic routines, or have found new settled routines in the post-pandemic era. We have continued to develop our community work and are encouraged as we are able to help meet the physical and emotional needs of many in the community, and have seen God at work in the lives of many people.
The group of employees and volunteers at Wessex House have worked extremely well together over the past year and there is a continued unity of purpose within the team.
In line with the new constitution and bye-laws for Gillingham Community Church, we now have a team of six trustees. Due to the overlap between responsibilities of Leaders and trustees, three of the five church Leaders are also trustees, but for balance there are an equal number of non-leader trustees drawn from the church Partners. The trustees at the end of this reporting period are Pete Bond, Liz Doré, Karen Gibbons, Angela Siderfin, Andy Sparkes and Rachael Wright.
Importantly, during the year the church also officially joined the Pioneer network of churches at the Pioneer Annual Leaders Conference in March. The church had been exploring joining the network for some time, and this was made official after receiving overwhelming support from the Partners. Being part of the Pioneer network is seen as an important step for the church in establishing ourselves within a larger network of churches, where we can both offer and receive support of various types, will have major benefits.
The church continues to be a member of the Evangelical Alliance, and the Leaders meet regularly with the leaders of other churches in the town.

Wessex House
As finances and grant income allow, there are still a number of areas of work within the building that will need to be undertaken to complete the renovations. However, during the year (with support from Gillingham Foodbank) we have been able to install a toilet and shower facility for use by clients. Along with this have been able to renovate a large ground-floor space to use for food storage (to support the Foodbank work), and have installed a new set of stairs for first-floor access. Plans have also advanced for the fitting out of the new kitchen.
We have continued to expand the number of outside groups using space at Wessex House, which helps support community activities in the town. Currently this includes the Gillingham Walking Group, a Carers Support Group, NHS (parent and toddler support), and the local community Rokit Choir.
At the end of this reporting period, the number of church Partners stands at 67. Sadly, during this reporting year we had three deaths among the church Partners including Steve Gibbons who served for many years on the Leaders Team of the church, and was instrumental in helping establish many of practices and principles by which the church operates.
During this year, Liz Doré was invited and appointed to the Leaders Team, meaning the church now has a total of five Leaders (Jules Bond, Pete Bond, Liz Doré, Han Gibbons and Andy Sparkes).
The church continues to have 5 part-time employees - two having primary responsibility for the Open Door and Foodbank community work (with one also having responsibility for building maintenance), one having primarily administrative responsibilities, one having responsibilities for both children's work and administration, and one having responsibility for younger children's work and our Little Shoots group. Two of the part-time employees are also on the Leaders Team, but most of their paid work is outside of their roles as a church Leaders.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities
Gillingham Foodbank
The church remains heavily involved with the running of Gillingham Foodbank (a Trussell Trust Foodbank), and Wessex House is the primary distribution centre for food to clients. Food distribution occurs mainly on Monday and Thursday mornings where clients can visit Wessex House (or if they are unable to get to Wessex House, telephone conversations are held and food is delivered by volunteers). Many different organisations, companies and individuals provide invaluable support to the Foodbank, and the church relies on a substantial number of volunteers to serve and help clients during each session.
People in need of support from the Foodbank will usually have at least two people from the church team spend time talking with them, while seeing if there is any other support that is needed. Our aim is to assess for the presence of other issues relating to poverty, debt, financial management, benefits or mental health support that our team might be able to help with.
Open Door
The church continues to operate 'Open Door' drop-in sessions in our High Street-facing café on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings every week. These complement the Foodbank sessions, and inevitably at times there is some overlap between the two.
The aim of the Open Door sessions is primarily to provide a safe environment for social support and help. We offer light refreshments and a friendly, supportive environment, with sessions regularly including socialising, prayer, games, cooking/money management sessions, craft, etc., as well as discussions of spiritual matters. All sessions are managed by one of our part-time employees along with a team of volunteers and other professionals.
To help with fuel poverty, during the colder months our Tuesday and Wednesday morning sessions are an official and registered 'Warm Welcome Space'. Alongside that, for the first time this year we were able to offer hot meals every Tuesday lunchtime. Open Door has become a real community hub, with an expanding number of regular visitors.
Together, our Foodbank sessions and Open Door drop-in sessions mean we have an open presence on the High Street every week from Monday to Thursday, the church therefore continuing to offer a vital source of help to the local community, especially those experiencing the effects of poverty and social isolation.
109 individuals were supported during the year with an average of 19 visitors per week for the 51 weeks Open Door operated.This mean that in total over 3500 hours of people-support was given in the year.
During the 97 days Foodbank was open , 1068 food parcels were provided.2907 people (1793 adults and 1114 children) were helped.
22% food parcels delivered by volunteers.
70 Christmas Hampers given to those in particular need.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Debt relief, benefits support, financial management
Alongside our food distribution on Mondays and Thursdays we also offer support for debt management, benefits advice and budgeting through the help of professionals from Citizens Advice, who (through grant funding) are dedicated to support people we see at those times. This is a critical part of the service we provide, as it helps enable us to address some of the root causes of poverty, and hopefully end the need for some people to be dependent on the foodbank for support.
Along with food and household consumables that are provided through the Foodbank, additional support for purchase of significant household items is made available through the Acts 435 charity. With the support of the Foodbank, we are also able to provide money for gas and/or electricity to those in particular need.
Counselling service
The counselling service that was established last year has been highly successful and has grown appreciably during this year. It continues to be run by a professional counsellor from within the church (on a voluntary basis), and with the support of four student counsellors who are supervised in their work. Mental health issues commonly go hand-in-hand with poverty and as well as relieving food or fuel poverty, being able to offer professional counselling for some of those in need addresses a major need.
Children and youth support
We continue to run the well-established weekly 'Little Shoots' parent and toddler group that is open during school term-times. This is highly regarded and fully booked. We also continue to be involved in local school assemblies at Wyke and Gillingham schools.
'The Gap' is our weekly after-school youth drop-in centre for 11-16 year olds. This takes place in our café area on Tuesday afternoons during term-time. This has become well-established with a large group of regular attenders, and provides a valuable safe space where the children can relax and have fun after school and receive support as needed.
Little Shoots supported an average of 11 parents and 15 babies/toddlers each week for 39 weeks in the year.
The Gap saw an average of 15 children each week for the 37 weeks it was open .
During 97 days of operation: 95 different people received help and support with financial and benefits issues.
Of these people , nearly 20% no longer need Foodbank support.
One qualified and four trainee counsellors delivered 385 hours of vital counselling to 26 different people through Foodbank/Open Door referrals.
Wednesday Club
The Wednesday Club has been established by two volunteers from the church. It is a group designed specifically for the over 70s that meets once a month on a Wednesday lunchtime for fun, fellowship, support and a warm meal. It is open to everyone in the community and currently enjoys 8 regular attenders.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Overseas
Many in our church have connections with and support Christian ministries in countries overseas.
Our regular support as a church has continued to be with Celebrate Hope Ministries in Uganda, Vision for Bangladesh, and Hope Now Ukraine. During the year, Vision for Bangladesh ceased its current activities and is undergoing restructuring. It also became evident that the church's ongoing support for Celebrate Hope Ministries may have to be provided in a different way as (for security reasons) UK-based banks are reluctant to see transactions being made directly to organisations in Uganda. We have therefore urged Celebrate Hope Ministries to see if they can register with Stewardship in the UK to see if support can be given through them. The church also continues to support the work of Compassion in supporting children and families overseas.
Summary
The work of the church and its role in the community has continued to grow during the past year.
Our vision, especially in terms of reaching the poor and vulnerable in the community and offering them help and support remains vital, particularly bearing in mind the current economic climate, and we have seen more people using our services as a result.
As a church, we look to be guided by God through His Holy Spirit in the direction we are taking, and seek to put His love, mercy and justice for all into action in our locality. Ultimately, our aim is to serve our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, and to extend His kingdom in the place where he has brought each of us.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The new budgeting process that had been introduced for this reporting year had worked well, and will be used (with some tweaks) moving forward. Having cost-centres where individuals had responsibility for managing budgets was helpful, and with careful oversight of the finances we were able to mostly restore our reserves to intended levels. Importantly, we have been able to both maintain and expand the services we offer to the local community while managing finances carefully.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
