accounts.						12 months of being online. Following all the
						COVID guidelines in places.
						Our mid week community groups restarted dunng
						the summer &ws saw a steady return of people
						from the community reconnecting with groups	and
						activities. By the snd of 2021 we were regularly
						seeing 30 people on Wednesday at Movers &
						Shakers, 30 families at Toddlers and 15young
						people in our youth group. The only pre-lockdown
						activity we have not restarted was the after school
						kids group; this is planned for 2022.
						Over all the church grew by 46% in 2021 this	is
						people who were attending Sunday services,
						small groups and those active in serving. We	saw
						our week by week attendance grow by 10%.
						We ran 2 CAP life skills courses in 2021, the	first
						online in February and the second in person	from
						September. These were both successful for
						helping people within the church and in the
						community.
						Our venue hire built up in the second half of2021,
						with some birthday parties and other groups.	We
						hosted a number of funerals in 2021 for new
						families in the local area. It has opened a lot	of
						new connections with people.

				Para	1 41	Anytime, a short church series containing a song,
						scripture, prayer and thought. It was received well
						alongside our other live streamed series we have
						had 2700 views on YouTube alone in 2021
						2) Identifying some community needs
						We ran the life skills course in Sept 2021 with 10
						people attending -this has been a big benefit for
						some ofthose attending meaning that we have
						made a stronger connection as a church, offering
						support and fellowship.
						The other initiative was a school uniform bank.
						Following on from a specific request from a local
						school in 2020 we have created a uniform bank to
						provide schools and families with new and used
						school uniform.
						3) Funding for building repairs and upgrades.
						We put in a funding application which was not
						successful due to the volume of applicants. We
						will continue to look for funding sources that are
						for churches or local charities.
						4) Funding for a youth worker
						We were not able to identify any specific funding
						sources for the youth worker role. Have read
						differen funding briefs we have decided to try and
						fund the role 1 day a week in 2022 to democrats
						the potential and seek to find sources to add to
						this long terms
