Achievements and Performance

The community activities of the church continue at the Church centre. These activities include Treasured Tots (Monday), Community Breakfast, Engage and a Basic ESOL course (Wednesday), Foodbank and Evening Feast (Thursday).

Following a successful youth week at Newday, a Friday night Youth Meeting for teenagers commenced.

Once a month, the church hosts a Lego Church for primary age children.

The Church community outreach programmes are delivered by a team of about 30 volunteers.

Community groups also use the premises on a regular basis. The Church was used as a collection centre for the Samaritans Purse shoebox appeal.

Church family Connect Groups meet during the week, both in homes and by Zoom. Various prayer meetings met, both at the Church centre and in individual homes during the month.

Community worker

Jo has continued to consolidate her position within the VCFSE Sector, networking and developing partnerships with other groups within the sector. In addition, she continues to research other areas of funding in order to ensure the sustainability of the community outreach work.

Directors .

Two additional directors were appointed during the financial year.

Financial Review

The situation is looking better, than last year. We have increased our giving and and received more in donations. This has meant that we could do more and this is reflected in our mission work and outreach within the local area and our existing partners in Zambia and Romania. The total amounts for these areas is 24%.
