## **New Life Christian Ministry, Swindon** 

## **Annual Report of the Trustees 2020/21** 

**Charity number:** 1138217 

## **Principal activity** 

The principle activity of the organisation is that of the charitable running of the church. 

Despite the negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, once again New Life has enjoyed another successful year.  The trustees, leadership and congregation continue to fulfil the objectives of the church, which are to: 

- Advance the Christian religion 

- Relieve people who are in conditions of need, distress or who are aged or sick 

- Advance education on the basis of Christian principles 

## **Achievements over the past year** 

The regular activities of the church are: 

- Sunday worship services 

- Bible studies 

- Prayer meetings 

- Sunday school classes 

- Youth group sessions 

- Community outreach 

Whilst the above activities continued to be the main areas of focus for New Life, the Covid-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the activities that took place and how they were delivered. 

In March 2020 all in-person activities ceased.  Sunday worship services, Bible studies and some prayer meetings were held online.  This move had some effect on attendance but a great deal of effort was put into keeping members of the congregation connected and there was increased focus on mental health and wellbeing. 

In between periods of lockdown safe, in person worship services were held taking account of any restrictions in place at the time.

## **Looking ahead** 

Covid-19 continues to impact the activities of the church.  With the exception of Sunday worship services, activities will continue to be held online and new ways to offer support to the wider community introduced. 

Ministers will continue to ensure the health and safety of members and will make any necessary adjustments to reflect changes in Covid-19 requirements or legislation.
