Section D Achievements and Performance
----- End of picture text -----
In January and throughout the year we held various ecumenical events Summary of the main intended to foster unity with other churches and organisations in the achievements of the charity community. during the year March we held a conference for women titled ‘Takeover’ which aimed to boost women’s confidence and empower them. We also had a Mother’s Day event. In April, we held Easter events and also did Easter Hymn singing in the community. We also had our popular Building Better Relationships Seminar Series which aims to strengthen communication skills and resolve conflict in relationships. In May, we had an event where children and teenagers were able to display their talents in singing, dancing and spoken word. We also had a young adults weekend where young people were able to network, share information and build relationships. In June, we held a global leadership summit online which was attended by many of our partners and former members who have since relocated to various countries. There was a women’s picnic in the park giving women the opportunity to relax together. We also had our annual conference with a variety of speakers and music artists. In July, we held an event in Bradford City Stadium, the evening which welcomed attendees from across Bradford had music and talks. We also held our Community Fun Day which was a lot of fun with BBQ, bouncy castle, music, games and crafts. In August, we held a Summer Explorers Club for children during the school holidays where they played games, did crafts and had lunch. In September, there was a picnic in the park event held jointly with other churches in the community. In October we had a large free gospel music event and a Superhero party for children with games and fun as an alternative to halloween. In November we had a bakery workshop for ladies. The purpose was to reduce social isolation among women and also to teach baking on a budget. In November we were able to completely pay off the mortgage on our property. In December we held a free Christmas Dinner for the whole family with games, carols and food and we also provided toys to families in need. We also provided support over the Christmas season by having a Christmas Day get-together. We also went carol singing in the community. We also had a New Year’s Eve get-together with light refreshments. These are times that can be very lonely and upsetting for the groups that we have mentioned who are away from family and away from home. We gave them a homely environment to meet others. This also improved social inclusion and community cohesion as people from different ethnic groups came together under one roof.
Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves
It is the policy of the charity that as far as is possible, unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to 6 months of running costs. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
Details of any funds materially in deficit

Further financial review details (Optional information)
You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:
-
the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);
-
how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
-
investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.
The Charity depends on donations in order to carry out the objectives of the charity. These donations come primarily from those who attend our meetings and also partners who partner with us through our e- newsletter, social media forums or also view our online broadcasts and wish to contribute to our charitable efforts.
The donations received enabled the charity to give to those in need as well as provide essential training and support needed for young people, students, adults, children and families. As the charity key objective is the relief of poverty and furtherance of the Christian faith most of the events that took place in the year focused on improving relationships in the family, counselling youths in order to reduce gang crimes and providing for the needs of people in the community. Providing for the needs of the community in this context means opening up the church to the community so even people of other faiths are welcome to come and ask questions in order to understand what the Christian faith is about. Also, many of the community events have been used as a platform to counsel those struggling financially, help where we can and direct them to local agencies who can offer specific help. At these community events we give lunch or dinner packs to members of the community we know are struggling to make ends meet especially the single parents or those who have just lost jobs and are in the process of applying for job seekers allowance or other benefits. This we do because we are aware that every pound count and every little helps.
The trustees and management have put into place a policy that all monies donated to the charity must be kept in the bank as soon as possible. This is to ensure that there is an audit trail of all monies. Also every volunteer must produce receipts for all expenditures else they will not be reimbursed. The charity has in place an ethics code which volunteers, senior supervisor volunteers and trustees must adhere to.
