Achievements and Performance

The Covid pandemic experienced in 2020/21 has had a severe impact on the operation of the church. Lockdown legislation prohibited the meeting together in person resulting in alternative method of fellowship. Sunday services were accessed initially using Facebook Live and later using YouTube, smaller meetings were held using Zoom. The Tech Team rose admirably to the challenges this situation created. When legislation allowed, the building was reopened in a Covid safe way to allow a maximum of 30 people to gather, from a usual congregation of over 120. Services continued to be broadcast on YouTube. Family support groups were suspended from March through the remainder of the uyear although contact was maintained through Treasured Tots and Bouncing Babies singing sessions and Messy Church Take Away sessions.

The Family Mentoring service was able to maintain contact with clients by telephone.

The feeding programmes for vulnerable adults were maintained throughout the year, initially by providing Take Away meals, before re-opening within strict Covid guidelines.

Foodbank was also able to maintain a service, initially by changing to a delivery method, before adapting to providing food parcels with minimum of client contact and facilitating the use of e-vouchers.

Financial Review

From the published accounts, it can be seen that the overall figures are healthy. Our income did increase slightly, but this was due to receiving a grant for winter pressure from TMBC. Our expenditure mainly dropped during the year as the use of Ashton 6[th] Form College for Sunday meetings were stopped. From our income figures it can be seen that standing orders form the largest part of our income and we would urge people to give via this means. We do also give thanks for the donations we received and the Gift Aid from the Government. All this extra income does mean that our work can continue in the coming year. Looking forward, we will be having extra expenditure due to the Sundays at West Hill School, but this move is necessary to grow the church and help more people.
