## **New Life Christian Ministry, Swindon** ## **Annual Report of the Trustees 2021/22** **Charity number:** 1138217 ## **Principal activity** The principle activity of the organisation is that of the charitable running of the church. Despite the 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 new ways of delivering some activities continued and ‘hybrid’ arrangements were introduced. In March 2020 all in-person activities ceased; during 2021/22 some in-person activities were re-introdcued such as Sunday worship services and limited community outreach such as home visits and community based services. Bible studies and some prayer meetings remained online. Hybrid arrangements 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. 1 ## **Looking ahead** Covid-19 continues to impact the activities of the church and is likely to affect how the church is run and what it does in the year ahead. Congregants are eager for more face to face interaction, therefore, taking account of any health and safety requirements more face to face activities will be resumed.
