## Section D Achievements and performance
Every Sunday throughout the year 2 services are held and there is a **Summary of the main** warm and friendly welcome to all who come and join with us. **achievements of the charity** At these services we continue the age old tradition of sharing Bible truths **during the year** with all ages. During the week we endeavour to help each other live out our faith in our community what we have been taught on the Sunday concerning the love and compassion of God. This is seen in a variety of activities which include: 1) Foodbank:- this is run from the Chapel building which people in desperate need of food under the guidance of the local authority are able to come and collect various items of food. It is also a time when people ask for help and advice on daily living. 2) The church has organised or supported the following community events: local village show, senior citizen meals, the local library and activity centre and local Christmas market. 3) The church hires out its facilities to community individuals and groups as well as offered its facilities for the purpose of being used as a polling station as and when required. At Christmas and Easter the local schools will use the building as they celebrate these two great events. 4) At sad times of bereavement we are able to help people with funeral arrangements and support during this difficult time. 5) During the week there are times when mothers with their children meet at our mothers and toddlers group called Scallywags 6) Over the years we have been involved in many community projects and are constantly looking for areas where we can assist the community such as providing a Warm Space venue. 7) The church has been involved in supporting a smaller church in France which does a work with senior citizens. 8) During the year the church participated in providing meals to the Homeless in the City centre. 9) There are activities held specifically for different genders and ages in order to meet specific needs. Bethesda Brothers for the men, Connect for the women and Blast and Friday Night Youth for the young people. Children and Young People weekends under the title ‘Supergang’ have been organised at a local Christian Conference Centre and have proved very popular with children and young people from the wider community as well as those from the church.
