Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to the
circumstances of its beneficiaries
and any wider benefits to society
as a whole
Para 1.20
The church has remained open for public worship
online and the furtherment of peoples spiritual
development.
During 2021 we have had the privilege of adapting to
meeting in person at the end of the year. At the start
of the year we continued to use Zoom for our main
meetings and as restrictions eased we have
attempted to return to meeting in person. We
continue to use Facebook for communicating with the
wider community. This year membership has dropped
to 52. Sunday morning services continue to include
adults, children and young people.
We used our outside space to meet for prayer during
the warmer period of the year. These were held
alongside zoom meetings, when the weather wasn’t
as favorable, with the same focus of meeting and
praying together.
Due to the infection rates in December we held our
well attended Christmas carol service outside with
candles and some small bonfires. We held a family
Christingle service also outside which was well
attended by people from other groups the church
runs.
As part of our Christmas celebration we engaged with
our local shopping center and spent a day singing
carols in the shopping precinct, alongside the Mayor
turning on the Christmas tree lights.
Throughout the year when restrictions have allowed
we have continued running a church football team| |---|---| with training taking place weekly along with games for local leagues. Our monthly board games evening have operated again as restrictions have allowed. We have continued with Kintsugi groups this year being held on zoom to start with and then in person as restrictions were lifted. Alongside this our church joined in with the big church read of a book by Ruth Rice called Slow Down Show Up And Pray. From this we have started working with Renew to setup a Renew space with the aim of creating a space for people to work on improving their wellbeing. Community youth work has been encouraging toward the end of the year with several of the previously attending youth inquiring about resuming meetings from before COVID. Towards the end of the year we were able to hold some meetings. It has been a joy to welcome young families back to our stay and play sessions, this group is now called Saplings. We adapted the way the sessions were run in line with Covid guidelines. Families collected bags of toys and played on ‘islands’. We have met new families and enjoyed seeing those who came before Covid. We also made available the rooms within the church to hire for local community groups, events including celebrations, training and learning and perfecting skills.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
SORP
reference
Review of the charity’s financial
position at the end of the period
Para 1.21
The finances of Leigh Park Baptist Church have been
very stable for a a number of years and whilst giving
increased a little, the budget for the coming year
identifies that some outgoings in 2021 will be lower
than in the previous year and the opportunity will be
taken to repay in full the loan that remains
outstanding from previous property repair works and
improve the floor in our second hall.
Statement explaining the policy
for holding reserves stating why
they are held
Para 1.22
Although the Charity has no restricted funds and all
funds are therefore available to be used, the Trustees
consider it productive to retain a surplus sufficient to
meet 3 months of outgoings. This surplus was
comfortably maintained throughout 2021 and at the
year end.
