Linacre Methodist Mission is a faith-based organisation, managing a Grade II Listed Building that has stood at the heart of the neighbourhood, known locally as Linacre, for over 100 years. The Main Worship Hall’s architecture was revolutionary in style, when it was built in 1905, resulting in a building that was regarded as one of the most striking in the North of England. The interior was arranged in amphitheatre style to seat 1,250 people and had a large platform with seating for 100 in the choir. Although the Hall has been modernised, much of the original structure remains.

The spaciousness of the Hall, the magnificent mosaic text above the choir created by Italian craftsmen and the richly decorated ceiling can still be admired.

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

We believe that in Jesus, God showed us how life could be lived to the full. Christianity is not about some dour, dull, and repressed lifestyle, but about delighting in the world that God has made, rejoicing in the friendships he gives and celebrating the joy that comes through knowing Jesus. Our programme here at Linacre seeks to reflect the ‘fullness of life’ that Jesus wants us to know. Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” The geographical area of Litherland is an area with a high level of social deprivation, above average mortality rates for both male and female and a higher percentage of persons with below average mental wellbeing in comparison with the rest of the Borough of Sefton. Therefore, in addition to our faith activity, Linacre Mission is fully committed to serving and supporting the local community, to tackle its general needs and enhance its quality of life. At present the building delivers activities for older people, children and young people and family-based activities. This facility is vast, with over 1,600 sq.m2 of floor space distributed throughout a diverse series of community rooms and large halls. The building has been identified as an important landmark in the area.

It is the vision of Linacre Mission, in partnership with the local community and other key stakeholders, to be a ‘beacon’ for local community engagement and support, as well as a strategic facility providing wider benefits to the surrounding South Sefton environs and engaging in local social and economic regeneration in this key focus of multiple deprivation in Merseyside. All activities within Linacre are carried out by volunteers. We have a regular core group of approximately 8 volunteers supported by a less regular group of approximately 5 people.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

At the beginning of this year the country was still in lockdown due to the pandemic. On 13[th] September we were able to open with restrictions and were able to hold our first physical act of worship in two years. This was attended by more people than expected, reflecting the desire to meet together to proclaim our faith. Previously worship had been taking place on the Zoom platform, offered by the Circuit, which excluded those who did not have access to the internet or computers for whatever reason. Sadly, we did not celebrate the Church’s 215[th] anniversary. With the unpredictability of the times, we were not able to arrange this in time. In November we were able to hold a funeral for one of our members under the government guidelines. On Christmas Day we celebrated the birth of Jesus and were ably led by one of our Local Preachers. At the beginning of January 2021, we were again obliged to close the premises until April. Our annual Covenant Service was the final service held at Linacre. Lent study groups took place on the Zoom platform. Many of our people engaged with the Easter services again on Zoom. Palm crosses were delivered to as many homes as possible in time for Palm Sunday. All Church business meetings during lockdown have also been held virtually using the Zoom platform, including Church Councils and property meetings. In July it was good to be able to celebrate the baptism of one of our children after this had been cancelled three times. It was a wonderful family occasion. At the beginning of August, we hosted a farewell service for our Superintendent Minister, Revd. Luke Smith who was moving on to pastures new. This was well attended by the churches in the Circuit, members of Churches Together and other organisations that Luke had contact with over the years. The service was led by the Chair of the Liverpool District.

Members of Linacre had been involved in zoom meetings looking to appoint a new Superintendent Minister and at the beginning of January, Revd John Hayes, who was later appointed, visited the Circuit including Linacre.

Neighbourhood Centre Review

Throughout this difficult year of uncertainty and change the Neighbourhood Centre continued to do as much as it could to support the community. Although activities such as Community Bingo and Place of Welcome had to be cancelled, Food Bank remained open with a reduced number of volunteers. Throughout the year Linacre Food Bank was able to feed 457 adults and 384 children. The church fed 49 people who were unable to access a voucher. In addition, mainly to those who only had microwave ovens to cook with, 12 people were given toasters, kettles, slow cookers, and bedding provided with

the generous donations of Church members.

As Food Bank remained open, we were able to access some grants which enabled us to provide food hampers during school holidays. These were targeted at families in need, identified by our local schools. The hampers were distributed for school holidays to offset the lack of provision of school meals. In December we distributed 135 hampers and 110 toys; in the February half term 38 hampers were delivered and 36 ‘make your own lunch’ bags to lunch club and Place of Welcome attendees to offset the closure of these activities. Finally in July, 87 hampers were distributed through the schools. Each hamper consists of 4 large shopping bags containing food items, toiletries and cleaning products. Feedback tells us that it is,’ like receiving a weekly shop.’

REACH men’s group and the Feelgood mental health dropin group returned to rent rooms as soon as support groups were able to return in April, after the end of the closure. In September Child & Family Connect returned to use the premises facilitating supervised access to children. In November we were able to start hosting a monthly prostate support group run by the NHS.

In May Linacre became a vaccination centre both for booked appointments and for walk ins. This was a good source of income but also, we were proud to be able to facilitate another service in our community.

In June Tmesis theatre company performed in the newly renovated Albert Walker Hall. The production was based on the history of Linacre and the memories of its members. We are looking forward to being able to rent out this new bright space. Through out the year Linacre has been a place of work for a small business, Party Troopers, which produces balloon arrangements for parties.

Section E Financial review

Aims

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves

(1) To secure and sustain the church’s viability and future. (2) To give reassurance to the general public that the church, which is a charity, intends to use all of the money coming into its care for the purposes of the charity.

Details of any funds materially in deficit

None

Further financial review details (Optional information)

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:

Financial plans

Linacre Mission building is over100 years old and although it had a major upgrade using the Big Lottery in 2010/2011, there are still areas to be attended to and there will always be a need for maintenance.

Due to the pandemic, income was lost due to the building being closed to hirers. However, we were able to obtain some grants to offset these losses. The fire alarm and lifts continue to cause a strain on our finances. On a Grade II listed building of this size, the cost of any maintenance contracts and repairs are high and therefore contingency finance has to be in place. Increasing costs of ministry are likely to result in increased assessments being paid to the Liverpool North Circuit. The aim is to generate income from Gift Aid and through increased rental income now that the building has reopened, and to be able to put aside donations that are given to the church.

General Fund (Unrestricted)

The reserves policy is to hold at least six months expenditure in hand. Based on the proposed budget for 2021/2022 these reserves are believed to be reasonable, and a balanced budget is proposed.
