ear
se5￿10￿51 activitACS
We have been seeing between 20 and 30 people atlending OUT regular gmup sessions each
week, man}, of these are our clients but ¢ilso, we have seen more members of the community
who hai'e com¢ into the Church for support through the Meihodist Church Befrienders drop-
in sessions as well as members of the public who visit our caf¢. This h&$ had a posilive effect
on our clients who feel welcotne 10 socialise people they ma) not have mel otherwise.
GMCC clients often speak alx)ut how there is no stigma or judgment when they visit our
Centre.

GREATER MANCHESTER COMMUNITY CHAPLAINCY LIMITED
The numbers of ne￿. clients havc increased steadilv over the last !¢ar. and thi5 has resulted in
the increase of ihose aiiendin& the group sessions. Our Chaplain as5is1s the Chaplains in HMP
Manchester with running courses and visiting men on the Wing. Due to incre&sing contact
with the Chaplains. GMCC h&s b¢¢n gelling a steady number of referrals.
The Chaplain is also in rcgular contaci with the oiher GM prlsons. visiting on average once a
month. On these i'isits she can engage ￿..ith people Currently in prison. l¢iiing them know
about the help they caT] receive once the). leave. These i'isits increase thc visibilit), and profil¢
of GMCC and let those in prison know that th¢re is somewhcrc they can go for help once
they leave, which is the tiTne when they are most vulnerdble.
Womens groups
This year w'e started up a wom¢ns group every other Wednesday, this ￿0Up is open to
anybody and the purJx)se is to offer women a safc place to come and enjoy the company of
other women whilsi taking part in activities and sessions- we hal'e had knitting. painting, arts
and crafts. nail paintin& drama and lego sessions so far and we plan the next sessions with all
the women involved in order that they can shape what happens and get the most out of thetr
tÈme here. After the sessions the attendees are w'¢lcom¢d into th¢ cafe to enjoy hot drinks and
biscuits or cake. have seen a number of ￿'Omen attend on a regular basis but our aim is to
reach oul to more agenci¢s and churches w.ho can refer more women lo th¢ group so thai it
will grow over ihe next 12 monihs.

As well as running cour5¢s and linking i%'ith oiher agencies our chaplain assists clients with
day-to-day things like appl)-ing for benefits, helping w'ith shopping, provides pastoral care
and often helps Mqth larger life concerns such as housing and medical needs. Two GMCC

about Ihemselves. They know ihat if something 15 Iroubling them- be it emotional or

Those who regularly altend our mentsl health supwrt group havc bcen sharing how ihey feel

like whai coming home should feel like
'rhe resi of the group ￿h0]eheartedlY agreed, and
this is our aim with the group. Our clients face many slruggles and feel a lot of stigmas but
each lime they attend a menthl health session. th¢r¢ is someone ivho feels the same way that
Ihcy do. This has made the groups an ini'aluable resourc¢. The clients know that they are
wclcome to share their strugglcs and then as a group. plans are made to benefit anyone who
needs help. The clients have fornied a community and go to social events such as local
football games logether. They check in on each other and have forn)ed healthv ￿latIOnships.
They encourage each oiher to keep making good and health), Choices and are there to help in
times of n¢¢d. The gJroup is welcoming w,henei'¢r a new face ￿'alkS into the room and the
support goes ￿)'Ond lh¢ building ￿'alls. The impact on indiN'idual lives and the wider
communily cannot be quantified.
The menlal health groups also allo￿. Ihe clients to develop skills. During the plamiing pn)cess
the clients are given ihe opportunily to gel involved in creating a quarterly schedule. They are
encouraged to communicate wh>. they wanl certain activilies. The are shown dates and have
input in creating the schedule and they discuss as a team w,hai would be th¢ most important
use of iheir time. This giN'es the clients som¢ control of what the!, participate in and ensures
that ihey know the group is lailored for thcir M"ellbeing rather tI￿n just a Project. It
cncourages effective communication and good decision making. Using these practical skills
in this setting also all0￿"S the Lhaplain to assess individu￿S in the group for ongoing one to
L)ne work lor further de￿'e10pmenl.
Clienl5 are tellingj us that apart from the benefits of the group sessions, that being us is
helping their mental health especially more so no￿. w'ith the cost-ol-lil'ing pressures. We are
told consiantly thai for many of ihcm ihc). can come and kccp warm here and save on the
bills at home. As well as ihis. they are also reporting that the meals providcd during the times
with us are the only main cooked meals of the M'eek. Manv are struggling financially and are
having to make difficult Lhoices on w'hat to spend money on, providing these things takes
away the burden and worry from clienls.
We have also applied for small grants to help clients with item5 5u¢h as clothing, furniture,
f(K)d and bills. With the cost-ol-1i￿'lng crisis we are seeing more of a need for our clients. In
the lasi few monihs. M'e haN'e applied for grants for a bed, a wardrobe, carpels, kilchen
appliances, interview clothes, gas and electric bills and more. We have proi'ided vouchers for
food. and we keep undeTh4'eaT and socks on hand to meet urgent needs. We also hdve a

'rhey are incredibly graieful for the items and are al￿'ayS excited to show us pictures of the
items oncc thcy are re¢eiv¢d. This is another that we show GMCC clients that they are of
value to us at CJMCC.

Funding for clicnt support
Over ihe l&st year M'e applied lor more smaller grants ihan ever before ihis was due to the
effects of the cost of living and elienls haN'ing no ￿lOngIng$ after leaving prison. We ￿'all1 to

those ihat wc support, thereby h¢lping iow7rds preventing r¢-off¢nding. We are part of the In
Kind Direct network and thanks lo this we are able lo buy items in bulk at around 70%

Financial review
Our grani funding remains as levels appropriate to fund Core salary costs and specific projecl

maintained stringenl expenditure levels in line I￿1th total reserves.
Investment powers and policy
The trustees, haN'ing regard io the liquidity r¢quirem¢nts of operating ihe charity, have kept
available funds in an inleresl-bearing deposit account.

The Irusl¢¢s aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a Icv¢l which equates to
approximately thrcc months of unrestricted charitable expendilure. The truslees consider thai
this level will provide suificieni funds to r¢sp)nd to applications for grants and ensure that

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of GREATER MANCHESTER
COMMUNITY CHAPLAINCY LIMITED
I report on the accounis of the company for the year ended 28 February 2024, which
are set out on pages 12 to 23.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Irustees (who are also the direciors of the company for the purp)s¢s of company law) are
responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The INsttts consider that an audit is not
required t.or Ihis year under section 144(2) of the Charitie5 Act 2011 (the 201 l Act) and thai an
independent examination is needed. The charity is required by companv law to prepare accrued
counls and l atn qualified to undertake the examinalion by being a qualified member of The
Institute of Chanered Accountants in EngLand and Wales.
Having satisfied myself that lh¢ charity 15 not subject to audit under company law and is
eligible for inde￿ndent examinaiion, it is my restx)nsibilili' to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act '
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by th¢ Charity
Commission under section 145(b) of the 2011 Acl. and
to State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the gencraI Ditections given by the
Charity Commission. An examination includes a revie￿ of the accounting records kept by the
charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those reconls. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations
from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures und¢rtaken do not provide
all th¢ evidence ihat ￿'QUId ￿ required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to
hether the accounts pr¢sent a 'lrue and fair view. and the report is limited to tbos¢ matt¢rs set
out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement

with the meihods and principles of the Sthiemenl of Recommenda Practice:
Accounting and Rew)rting by Charities have not been met" 01
