## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Significant activities**
## **Church services:**
Services are held each Sunday at 10:30am, consisting of times of worship, preaching (this is also streamed to Facebook), communion etc.
Throughout the year Mandy has been supported by Tom (who is new to church leadership), Michael, Angela and David who joined our church later in the year. We were also supported by Guest Speakers coming along on some Sunday mornings and the occasional Sunday evening message.
Regular church attendee number remained around the same with some people moving on and new people joining us. We have drinks available before and after the service encouraging people to stay and talk.
## **Children’s church:**
During 2024 we had a steady group of children coming along to church and we had the benefit of opening the soft play area which is available for the children to play in. We have a consistent rota of children’s church volunteers which take the children into the back hall where they do some bible teaching, craft, fun and games. Tom Mitchell has continued to do the organising of the children’s church rota and deciding themes for the time.
## **Café:**
The cafe is used by church members and local residents and is a hub for meeting and spending time with friends. The day to day running of the cafe is managed by Mandy/Sarah who put in place rotas, cleaning checks, ensure food is bought etc. The cafe is run by an incredible group of volunteers with them coming in to cook food, serve and help with general cleaning up, we could not run without our team of volunteers and are so grateful to them. We still have a ‘special’ menu each Tuesday which is very popular with the community and also coincides with our Renew Wellbeing sessions
## **Youth:**
One major change to the Youth is the introduction of our youth worker Thomas Mitchell, Tom is funded by an external grant and is paid to support the running of the youth group sessions. The Youth have continued to meet in the Access centre, as they have outgrown their previous space, they meet every week term time. We are supported by an incredible team who give up their time to come and support the Alford Youth. The Youth have special trips out e.g., to local trampolining parks, bowling, water sports which are subsidised for them (through receiving funding from grants, which we are so thankful for). The team arrange different activities on a weekly basis for them.
## **Foodbank:**
The UK has continued with a period of financial hardship due to the rising inflation affecting the cost of food along with higher energy costs, this increased the need for people to come and use the foodbank. Sarah leads the foodbank, and we have a team of volunteers that are invaluable to us - the come in sort out food donations, go to buy extra supplies/arrange online deliveries to us, do occasional deliveries of food parcels.
The food bank is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday's 10 – 2pm and in times when we are not open answering messages can be left.
Page 4
We get donations from local places (schools, churches, council, businesses etc) in the form of grants, donations (both monetary and food). In addition to this we purchase food from local shops, supermarkets etc to ensure we are able to give out food parcels that benefit the family receiving it.
We are also supported by and work with Pitchers of Alford for fresh fruit and veg.
## **Senior fellowship and chair aerobics**
Closed from mid-year 2022.
## **Renew Wellbeing:**
church. We are grateful to volunteers for coming along each week to put out craft supplies and primarily be there to listen and talk to those who might be lonely. The group has a regular group of attendees, but is always very accepting of new people. The café is open if people would like to purchase food and drinks
## **Warm Bank**
Monday afternoon for families to attend – they can play and eat for free. We are so grateful for the funding received to do this and for our amazing volunteers that take time to cook the food, serve and clear up and to engage with people to make the time warm and friendly
## **Night Light**
The Night Light café has continued to run two nights a week (Thursday and Saturday) from 5pm to 8pm.
Night Light Café is a space where anyone who is finding life difficult can come and connect with support. We offer a relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy a cuppa and biscuits, chat with one of our friendly volunteers or just chill out in our quiet area and find some peace.
We also have games like Scrabble and playing cards if you fancy something more interactive. And in addition to providing a listening ear, we can signpost you to other local services to support you with anything impacting your mental health.
There is no charge for this service. 18+ years onl
## **Soft Play**
The soft play opened in February 2024 and is open to the public for both play sessions and can be hired for parties. The soft play is also available for children during kids church and as part of our warm bank
## **Reset:**
This is a new group which started in May 2024, it is funded by Shine Lincolnshire and Jayne Turner is employed to run sessions which she does on Mondays and Thursdays. Jayne arranges many activities from learning to cook and then sharing a meal together, a book club or going out walking. The group is open to all

In the furtherance of our objectives and aims, we provide and are involved in a range of activities whereby our facilities are used seven days a week by church members and members of the local public.

## **Volunteers**
We are fully reliant on the contribution made by our volunteers, without their assistance we cannot function effectively. As we are not in a position to have paid staff, our volunteers are used in a variety of roles including: general administration, building maintained and cleaning, administration and finance and day to day activities, outlined in this report. We value and appreciate the effort and work which they contribute and the many hours spent.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Principal funding sources**
The principal sources of funds for the charity were regular gifts and offerings from church members each month. Additional funds were raised via fundraising events taken on by members of our congregation. We also received a number of donations for our ongoing projects Covid period.
## **Reserves policy**
Page 6
The charity aims to retain reserves for operational purposes. In the short term, if excess reserves arise, the charity will invest the surplus until it can be utilised. The continued aim of Board is to seek over time, to establish a free reserve of approximately 3 months average - expenditure, or 25% of annual expenditure. The charity also seeks to build up reserves gradually over time in order to eventually cover the mortgage of the church on Chauntry Road.
The continued aim of Board is to seek over time, to establish a free reserve of approximately 3 months average - expenditure, or 25% of annual expenditure. The charity also seeks to build up reserves gradually over time in order to eventually cover the mortgage of the church on Chauntry Road.
As at 31 December 2024, total funds held by the charity totalled £ 293425 (2024 £ 226621) of which £37294 (2023
£37294) was restricted and £259500 (2023: £189327) was unrestricted.
## **Review of the period**
The principal sources of funds for the charity were regular gifts and offerings from church members which amounted to
£34882 within Donations & Legacies and grants
Gift Aid reclaimed of £6165 accounted for 15% of income. Most of the remaining income was derived from income from the cafe
All income received during the year has been used in the furtherance of the charity's objectives
## **Future plans for 2025**
In the report for 2023 we mentioned we were going to start a ‘New foundations’ group – we actually ran a successful Alpha course and following on from that we are going to start a Nurture house group – this will increase the house groups for the start of the year to three with more groups planned including day time prayer meetings.
We started RESET (which is a group funded by Shine Lincolnshire), this will continue this year two days of the week. We hope the group will continue to be well attended and plan to carry on with activities like cooking, book reviews, walking etc.
Our main big news is for us to have Aspire (a local child care business) run child care sessions in our soft play area. After Easter, Aspire will be welcoming new children aged 6 weeks to 4 years old into their early years childcare program. We have been hosting a Warm bank and this will continue until March of this year. Our main aim in this is to continue to provide a warm meal for those in need and we chose to extend this further by offering free Soft play sessions with a meal for parents and children on a Monday afternoon.
We have kept a steady group of lead speakers (Mandy, Michael and Angela), along with some visiting preachers.
We are setting up a ‘New foundations’ group which is starting this year and being led by Tom and Jess Mitchell. Alongside this Tom is going to being in a role as Youth pastor for the church and will be initially learning from Sarah Lithgow.
We can’t wait to see how the church continues to grow spiritually and possibly physically too.

## **Report of the Trustees**

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document**
## Wider network
Our organisation places great store on being accountable and in this regard we have a number of relational links. We are members of the Ground Level Network, a national network of inter-denominational churches and charities, with its head office based in Lincoln, to which we as a team voluntarily make ourselves accountable for our conduct.
## Induction and training of new trustees
All trustees as existing members of the Church are familiar with the work of the charity. However, from the point of view of responsibilities of a trustee, they are provided with a copy of the governing document, the latest audited accounts, copies of recent minutes of meetings, and all policy documents. These documents are explained in detail during a personal training session affording the opportunity for the new trustee to raise questions and obtain satisfactory answers.
As a matter of course all new Trustees are required to undergo a DBS check. All new Trustees receive a copy of the Charity Commission booklets Welcome to New Trustees, as well as booklet CC3 The Essential Trustee' and are further encouraged to refer to the Commission's web site as a source of updated information and news.
## Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
The Board through its monthly meetings and in consultation with other suitably skilled church members continuously reviews and assesses operations to ascertain potential risks to the organisation, its personnel (both staff and volunteers) and the wider public. Numerous policies and procedures have, and continue to be devised and put in place, to minimise risk to all concerned.
## Payment of Trustees and management personnel
No trustees are paid in connection with their duty as Trustees. However M A Smith does receive remuneration for her role as senior minister (Pastor) of the church. This salary is paid in accordance with the authority of the Charity's governing document and the individual concerned has no input into decisions affecting their remuneration.
