Annual Report – Lambeth Mission and St. Mary’s (now Lambeth Walk Methodist Church
Lambeth Walk Methodist Church has been situated on the corner of Lambeth Road and Lambeth Walk for many years and has always had the purpose of providing a place for religious worship and learning and a place for community provision. Over the past two years its activity has been limited due to the rebuilding of our facility and our temporary home only being available to us on Sunday mornings. We have continued to consider the Charity Commission advice/guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities on the advancement of religion.
Although we have moved to a temporary home we have kept our congregation together offering public worship each Sunday and a pastoral care system for members and adherents. Our members are actively involved in other charitable work as they live out their Christian faith – for example one member is an inter-faith member of the Christian/Jewish Group; others support Christian Aid activity and others involved in a local community centre. We also participate in our local Churches Together group.
Much of the time and energy of the minister and members has been taken up with the new build on Lambeth Walk. This development will provide a wonderful modern facility for the local neighborhood. We expect to renew our homelessness work on partnership with the Robes project and to start up other social and educational projects.
Our members have been undertaking safeguarding training and having DBS checks where appropriate.
Our funding has been considerably helped by a bequest. Members give their collection via the gift aid scheme and we need to update our claim from this scheme.
We have a reserves policy of keeping 3 months funding to cover emergency funding issues. The trustees have the responsibility of agreeing all expenditure.
We look forward to being able to do much more to care in our local community once we have our new building.
Approved by the Church Council on 28[th] May 2023 and signed by Revd Dr Andy Lyons on their behalf.
