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
Throughout 2022, we have been actively engaging
with our community by hosting weekly meetings to
enhance and enrich the Christian faith. We also
provide a supportive environment for young families,
where babies toddlers and carers can socialize with
other families.
We held mpnthly prayer meetings throughout the
year and introduced a book group in September,
which provides a platform for discussing faith and
debating different opinions brought out by the books.
We have also organized various groups for
secondary school children, including a Friday social
group with games and crafts. Additionally, we have
created a well-being space where the children can
chat and engage in crafts in a calm environment.
In the summer, we hosted several community meals,
which were well-attended and provided a great
opportunity to connect with a diverse representation
of our surrounding community. We also ran a family
friendly stay and play providing a space for young
family to socialise.
Finally, we hosted Christmas and Easter services,
which were well-received by the local community.
