ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities Introduction- COVID-19 Pandemic

The year 2021 - 2022 brought many challenges for Amblecote Christian Centre (ACC). As COVID 19 was very much still with us and Lockdown was still very relevant, Elders/Directors and the Staff Team worked hard to navigate through this difficult time. Using a range of technologies, the church was able to continue streaming services and moved to a more permanent hybrid arrangement. Whist numbers were still a little down in our Sunday meetings some returned when they could, and some chose to stay at home and watch online. Community hubs mainly facilitated through WhatsApp continue to be used to facilitate regular contact and support throughout the Church family.

Church Leadership/Staff Team

ACC continued to follow a revised leadership structure based on a shared leadership model. Staff Elders and a Staff Director met regularly, joint Elders/Directors meetings and 'Away-day' sessions were also scheduled throughout the year, with external training and input included.

Charitable Activities - Review of Local Missions and Community Activities

ACC focused activities mainly on the local community throughout the year. ACC endeavored to engage where it is possible. Activities are still contained due to COVID, however, it has been more possible to carry out a number of planned activities whilst still observing COVID 19 restrictions. The range of community related activities included support for local individuals and families, working in conjunction with Hawbush Community Gardens and with several schools when it was appropriate to do so.

Children and Families

Despite COVID restrictions ACC's Children's worker along with volunteers ran several family and group activities online. Innovative ways to connect with church families and the local community were introduced; weekly zoom calls and activity packs were used to ensure connection continued until it was safe to meet face to face. ACC also ran a kid's fundraiser online raising money for charities the children wanted to support by recording actions to songs, competitions and cutting and donating hair.

Later in the year small groups were able to get together and enjoy crafts, games and extra activities families. The team ran six free events for families on Hawbush providing food and activities to local families. ACC also ran an Easter, Summer and Christmas lunch club (in total 6 days of provision) in partnership with Dudley Council for Voluntary Services offering the Dudley Holiday Activity Fun (HAF) program. This program encourages eligible children to access a variety of family sessions at no cost. These include healthy eating, organised activities, and sports. These events were adapted to meet the government COVID guidelines at the time.

Sunday Morning groups were relaunched in May 2021 and the weekly parent and toddler group was relaunched in September 2021.

In Partnership with DMBC Children Services ACC ran a Parenting course for local parents who felt they needed extra support in their parenting. It began in March 2022 but is planned for 6 weeks with the plans to repeat this course in the future.

ACC returned to providing an in-house Christmas meal where people could meet who may be spending alone over Christmas. ACC again joined forces with other Organisations to run the Christmas lunch project providing hampers to local families. The Christingle went ahead and Saltmine Theatre Company performed the production 'Rapunzel' in December.

Youth Work

COVID 19 restrictions impacted many aspects of ACC Youth Work, however groups did go ahead when it was safe to do so. The yearly 'Mission' week took place on a condensed basis (4 days instead of 6) where the young people were able to spend time re-connecting whilst undertaking a range of different tasks to benefit the local community.

Supporting Work in the Dudley Borough & Nationally

Members of the Staff Team and volunteers continued to be involved in wider Dudley Borough activities, including Leaders Networks, Charity and Voluntary sector meetings, and representation on statutory sector partnerships working groups. Staff members are also involved in Love Black Country, a network that works to unite the Church of the Black Country in support, mission and transformation. Many of these groups were able to start meeting face to face during this time.

Black Country Food Bank continued to receive support with food donations and regular financial giving.

Brierley Hill Project (BHP) - (targeted life support and mentoring) ACC has continued to support BHP in many ways including regular financial support.

Transforming Lives for Good (TLG) - ACC trained volunteers who had supported and mentored identified vulnerable children in local primary schools, kept in contact with the families. Additional coaching groups were ran during the latter half of the year. Two children were supported individually through the TLG program.

UK Charity - Safe Families for Children - A number of our church family have continued to support the charity as volunteers, signing up to be Family Friends, Resource Friends and Host Families.

British Youth for Christ (YFC) - ACC's commitment to supporting YFC year out programme continued. As we came out of COVID it was possible to return to the host families for the young people from the touring band 'The Sense'. It was good that the group could once again join ACC, if only for a season. During this time The Sense provided valuable support to ACC Sunday services. As previously, a YFC volunteer on the Year Out Program assisted ACC's communications and media team.

ACC Year Out Programme - This had been planned for some years and due to COVID postponed. During the year we have re-engaged and are now planning to start commencement of ACC's Year Out Programme in September 2022. It is encouraging that with a high level of interest shown preparation is underway to engage with people and churches to enlist around 5 young adults to join the programme.

International Mission Activities

ACC's support continues to grow in the form of one off and regular financial gifts, for mission activity overseas primarily in Kenya.

Open Doors National Charity - ACC has continued to give regular financial and prayer support to the persecuted church worldwide by being a partner church.

Representing our Faith Community Politically

ACC church family members continued to be actively involved in ensuring our faith communities' views are heard and valued at a local and national political level. This is one of the core values.

Summary of Other Developments/Investments

Investment in Older Generation - During the year a part time person was appointed to the staff team to head up this work with the older generation. This was relaunched under "Faith in Later life" and has a move away from the weekly lunchtime sessions to more activities across the calendar. From its launch it has continued to grow and provide benefit and support to this generation.

Investment in ACC Leaders - ACC continued to help fund part time Theological Study for ACC's children's worker and one of the staff elders.

Building and Maintenance - Since the refurbishing of the building there was a decision to hold off any larger improvements and to just concentrate on the usual maintenance that occurs for time to time.

Finance - Over the year there has been little change in the investment arrangements from the previous year's reporting.

Little Hands Day Nursery - The contract/hire agreement and rent paid to ACC had been re-negotiated as it remained the same in the previous year with all the issues surrounding COVID 19, we are planning to revisit again in next year's review.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The surplus of income over expenditure for the year amounted to £97 (2021 -£13,404 deficit). The unrestricted funds totalling £570,656 (2021 £567,275) and restricted funds of £20,462 (2021 £23,746), gave an overall funds total of £591,118 (2021 £591,021).

Principal funding sources

The vast majority of the finances required to fund the activities were raised through regular giving and one off donations from church members, supplemented by the refund of income tax from HM Revenue & Customs through the Gift Aid scheme.

Reserves policy

The ACC Reserves policy has two main objectives:

1) To ensure that there are adequate buffer funds to allow ACC operations to continue in the short term in the event that its income stream is unexpectedly interrupted. Ordinarily ACC will aim to retain approximately £25,000 in accessible reserves. The Directors may agree to permanently or temporarily suspend this level as necessary.

2) To generate sufficient funds to allow investments that secure ACC operations into the future. Any amounts over the agreed of buffer funds will be available for investments, which are intended to maintain and develop ACC operations. All investments with be consistent with ACC values.

The amount of unrestricted reserves not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (the 'free' reserves) held at 31 March 2022 was £115,117 (2021 £95,392)

Restricted funds are disclosed in note 11

FUTURE PLANS

Westminster Theological Centre Hub (WTC) - Following ACC becoming a Partner Church along with other churches in the WTC - West Midlands Hub. This is now fully functioning, and has started well, quickly growing to 11 students. The hub is financially sound given the current number of students and current level of support from partner churches. Further student recruitment is necessary for the hub to be financially self-sufficient in the long term (c. 20 students). This has provided people with training and follows ACC policy of investing in people and Kingdom projects. We believe that this will continue to grow during this financial year and become even more robust and self-sufficient.

Future Vision for Mission, Poor-Care, and Social Enterprise - Launched in 2020 the Housing Stream Project which had stalled is very much alive for 2022-23. This idea was to investigate a new income generation opportunity to boost ACC's future income and to make sure we had a good diversification of our income streams. The project would broadly be based around buy-to-let property investments. Although hampered by external delays, initial research into the project is reaching its final stages of reporting.

Youth Work - Plans were in place to re-engage with the young people in 2021-2022 using a variety of events. Youth summer socials were planned along with the regular youth mission week and youth weekend away.

Regular youth Sunday morning sessions, Lads and Girls groups in addition to Young Leaders programs were re-launched in the Autumn.

Other planned events and the introduction of a 'Connect' group, were intended to provide young people with space to build good relationships.

Children and Families - ACC planned to partner again with Dudley Council for Voluntary Services offering the Dudley Holiday Activity Fun (HAF) program. This program encourages eligible children to access a variety of family sessions at no cost. These include healthy eating, organised activities, and sports. ACC planned to run six days of lunch clubs spread over Easter, Summer and Christmas.

Family afternoons at Hawbush Community Gardens are also planned throughout the year along with other seasonal events and activities for families involving food, craft and games. The annual Christmas Lunch Project and Christingle was scheduled to go ahead.

Children & Youth Sunday morning groups and the weekly parent and toddler group is planned to continue.

TLG early intervention coaching will pause for the next year to give volunteers a break and to allow more time for the Children's worker and other volunteers to explore other opportunities to work with local families and schools.

ACC planned to run a monthly Parent Coffee Morning at Hawbush School offering free refreshments and a place for parents to connect and share. If it is popular, there are plans to increase the regularity.

In Partnership with DMBC Children Services ACC planned to continue the Parenting course and to run additional courses in the future for parents needing support in their parenting.

Name Change - There are plans in this financial year to drop the trading name of Amblecote Christian Centre and just be fully known as Amblecote Community Church. This will impact signs, e-mail addresses etc., the team plan to talk to the Church family in the AGM about this.

Kenya Trip - A trip for some of the members of the Church family Is planned to see the work we support in Kenya.
