## **Charity Commission – Trustees’ Annual Report for the period Sept 2019 to Aug 2020** 

_Section C – Objectives and activities: 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)._ 

Hinde Street Methodist Church is a city centre church based in the heart of Marylebone, London, which seeks to be welcoming and hospitable to everyone. We have an open ethos and a tradition of questioning debate, primarily, although not exclusively, from a liberal perspective. We are a diverse and multi-racial community. 

The age profile is distinctive with a small number of children of school age but with a larger than average group of young adults. The remainder of the congregation are over the age of 40 and there is a largish group of retirees. A considerable number of our members are professionals with a range of intellectual and academic backgrounds. They offer a wide range of gifts and skills to the community through service in different areas.  At the same time we are an inclusive church which welcomes people regardless of ability, gender or age, and seeks to create a warm, caring and nurturing community for all.  In April 2015 the Church Council voted to sign up for the ‘Inclusive Church’ movement, and we continue to work towards inclusivity in all that we do, particularly with regards the LGBT community. 

Deacon Belinda Letby joined Revd Peter Cornick as our ministry team on 1 September 2019. 

Prior to Covid lockdown, the church had three Sunday services, each with its own distinct congregation, with limited cross-over between them. 

- The 10:00 am service is short and uses an adapted version of the 1936 Methodist Communion Service. Attendance is between 6 and 10. 

- The 11:00 am service is consciously traditional Methodist worship. A high value is placed on preaching, liturgy (the Methodist Worship Book is used frequently but not exclusively, and communion is held twice a month) and hymn singing. The congregation is also open to less traditional music and innovative liturgical ideas. Average attendance varies between 40 to 70 adults and a small Junior Church meets at the same time. The Church has a strong musical tradition and there is a director of music who is responsible for the occasional choir rehearsal and presentation. The church possesses a fine organ and Steinway grand piano. 

- The 18:30 pm service has an attendance of around 10 people, and often takes a more creative, interactive and meditative approach, using worship material from the Iona Community and Taizé, and liturgies and prayers written by the church ministers and worship leaders. 

Hinde Street Methodist Church has long-established and well-run classes (small groups of members and non-members), following the Wesleyan tradition, which meet regularly. We have 7 classes, so five classes meet monthly, one weekly and one (the class for young people) meets in the university holidays. 

Alongside these, there were the following activities: 



- a weekly meditation led by the ministers and open to members, anonymous groups, local residents and workers (attendance is on average between 10 and 15) 

- social activities 

- monthly church lunches and an annual family picnic 

The church committees, many of which are chaired by lay members of the church, oversee the various activities including property and financial issues. 

Hinde Street Methodist Church has two established residential communities living in flats adjacent to the main church building; one has five members, and one has six members. These communities share a Christian ethos and make a commitment to contribute to the life of the church and circuit – including volunteering in our social projects, and an agreed amount of time covering reception duties when our caretaker is on leave. 

The premises (church, church hall and adjacent rooms) are intensively used by various groups during the week. 

- There are almost 70 “12 step” groups - self-help groups for people with addiction issues who have used these premises for many years. Up to 200 people per day use the premises in this way. 

- There is a weekly open drop-in in the main church hall on Wednesdays from 4.30 to 8.00 pm, which offers food and support to approximately 20-40 homeless people in the neighbourhood. 

- ‘Thursday Tea-Time’ offers a relaxed meeting place for local people, where a guest speaker addresses the group each week on a topic of general interest. 

- Church members are encouraged to participate in the wider activities of the West London Mission Circuit, including a significant programme of professional Housing and Community Services located in several areas of London. 

- During the winter months we offer a meal and a bed for the night on Monday evenings from December to March to fifteen homeless people, as part of the Westminster Winter Night Shelter. 

Hinde Street Methodist Church is committed to offering a sense of belonging to young people studying, living and working in London. The church also has a Community Worker whose work concentrates on helping 18-25 year olds become part of the church family by offering them pastoral care, open spaces for asking questions about faith, creative forms of worship, organising social events and developing opportunities for involvement in volunteering. However she has been on maternity leave from summer 2020. 

We have a young adult fellowship called ‘ **Soul Food** ’ where students and recent graduates meet once a month over a meal, for friendship and exploring issues of faith. This has moved online. 

We have a covenant with **St Marylebone’s Parish Church** . Three times a year we organise a pulpit swap, including during the Octave of Prayer for Christian Unity, and on Aldersgate Sunday. 



From March 2020, when there was a national Covid lockdown, many of these activities paused. We moved to online worship via Zoom at 11am only, and reached many of our congregation, plus others from outside. We slowly opened up as government guidelines were relaxed and it became viable. 

_Section D - Achievements and performance: summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year._ 

Until March 2020, the church was operating as it had for some years, led by our superintendent and deacon. We were able to support local people through our social work arm and had a loyal, if dwindling membership. 

The church was heavily impacted by the closure of the building in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We moved to online worship at 11am, but could not open the building for 12 step groups, Wednesday club homeless support or other activities. As and when it became possible to restart these activities in a Covid secure way, we have done so, although questions remain about whether all services will return as before. The membership mostly could transition to online services and we also saw an uptick in visitors online from former members or new people, which was encouraging. Through our class (small group) leaders we tried to ensure pastoral support to our more vulnerable congregants. 

The stewards developed, in consultation with the church council, a growth strategy for the church, and successfully bid for funding on this basis from the Methodist Church District. Post-Covid, the team are intending to hire a communications and outreach officer to keep expanding on the offer of the church – a hybrid world, which capitalises on our focus as an inclusive church based in the centre of London. This is being put into action in 2021. 

## **NOTE** 

The church has now reopened under government guidance (from April 2021) and is operating in a hybrid fashion – both online and in person services. This has been a challenging feat technically and we are now looking into how this can become smoother so we are still welcoming to those not able to travel to central London.
