Onechurch exists to Serve the churches. leaders and charities of Basingstoke through Its four areas of mini5try= Prayer, M15$1on. Fellowshlp and Communlcation. We exist to help us do together what we can't easily do apart. Our partners at b:united do the same for our Youth. Looking back on 2024 we continue to see God's faithfulness both within His church and the ministries and charities that serve oUrt￿n. Before commenting on each area, I need to start by considering the team and finances, and what we're learning. Leadership Team Following many long-standlng members movlng on to new pastures In 2023, this year we were pleased to welcome Deanna and Mark Hill ITreasurerl onto the team. Oe5Plte thi5. we have remained under stren8th, with personal issues preventin8 3 of the team from participating for most the year. This, together with the financial Situation, has meant we have needed to attempt less, and draw back to core activities. ICB Flnances (please see also the examined Statement of Accounts) 2024 has been a hard year, financially. Subscriptions from churches have been Significant￿ lower than in the last few years. While we welcomed some new regular personal donations, overall this has meant our Income has been significantly lowerthan what we had planned for, and not even enough to cover our'General runnin8 costs,. Therefore In April we had to pause the T4B Enabler role {1 daylweekl. until the time our regular income grows large enough to 5UStain this. We thank Mark Hill who has been our Treasurer. and will contlnue to cover the week-ttrweek work of hondling our finance5. We are however needingto have sOMe<￿e new to have the formal role of TreaSU￿r. For 2025.. We have veryfew sovings leftfor general use. but if churches return to poying their yeorly 5ubscription5 we wlll ht7ve enough income enough to cover the Simpler work of encouraging prayer and Shared ministry in the town, and the other thinqs our administrotor (David Grant) cover5 in 3 hour5/week. We hove one sizeoblelund given to Us specificollyfor mission.. we will use this when we are confident that with the Holyspirit's quidonce we havefvund the right joint mission activityfor our town at this time. Llstenlng and Learnin8 In most of what follows our small tearn have continued to be encouraged by the Gather Movement of larger Christian unity groups in the UK. Two of us attended their national conference for unity group leaders, and we've attended some of their monthly online learning community events. It is a thrill to hear what God is doing through churches working together. and often In partnershlp wlth local civic groups, such as Couricil, NHS or Pol*ce. To be honest, it's been a frustrating year. knowing what good things could be p055ible in Basingstoke, but also knowing that at the moment we're not in 3 position to carry forward whavs on our heart for our town. So our maln foctss for 20251$ on encouraging prayer and fellowshlp. Fellowship We want to grow stronger ties between leaders again, l)oth to provide support in our challen8in8 work, and that we'll have more appetite to be working in partnership for Jesus, glorious Gospel. In 2024: we arranged town-wide prayer and praise evenings, hosted by St Andrews Church and Praise Embassy. Our weekly pastors prayer times18am Zoom and some lunchtimes) have been seeing fewer regulars since a recent high point in 2020. so we decided to think again for 2025. Aimsfor 2025.. hold larger monthly 7hrive' in-per50n monthty proyer ondfellow5hip timesfor church leaders, and we encouroge our poid and volunteer Youth Leoder5 to continue to hove o regular breokfostfor plonning, support ondfellowship. Prayer We raise praying for Basingstoke's many ministries, churches, church leaders, and that through them all God would increase his blessing on ourtown, and many more would come to know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. In 2024.. we arranged town-wide prayer and praise evenings, hosted by St Andre￿5 Church and Praise Embassy, Wlth another postponed into 2025. Airn5for 2025.. as well as the 7hrive' in-person monthfy proyer ondfellowshlp times. continue to hold termly town-wide proyer and proise gotherings. We're olso coordinating o significant Pmy Through May initiotive, looking to encouroge ond octivote proyer in all places in our town where people live, work or qother. Misslon All churches should work out the Great Commlsslon and the Great Commandment, reaching out with the good news ofjesus, and showing His love tothose around them. Onechurch aim5 to enable more of both, by leading or supporting activities and groups that need churches to work together. . Together 4 basingstoke We use the Together 4 Baslngstoke. (T4B) name to represent the social action part of our work to non- Christian 8roups. In 2024.. Under the T48 name we arranged our second Cmc Prayer Breakfast with invited guests from Council. NHS and Police. We heard about the needs of the town from the perspertives of Alex Whitfield (the Chief Exec of North Harnpshire Hospital), Penny Dilley Ileader of Community Food Link), and Rev Ben Kautzer (Area Dean of B35ingstokel. We continued to fund the very part-time role of T4B Enabler to build bridges to potential secular partners in the town. to better understand thelr perspectrves on the needs and existing provisions. and to give them a single 'front doorf to the churches to be better potential partners. We sadly had to pause this work in April, until a time when we could sustainably fund it again. But we did run our second T4B Leaders Summlt in March, where most of the Christian charities in the town shared stories and ideas, and heard encouragement from what God is doing through TORCH group in Reading. We have continued to assess opportunities for town-wide gospel outreach, through a number of contacts with people connected to the Louis Palau Or8anisation. but do not feel called to any particular one yet. We also feel that we need to invest more In bulldln8 fellowship across the town so that a larger group can be pray for. and have input into. future large-scale mission. '.united have continued the top-of-town Youth Table almost every term-time afternoon come torrential rain or shine. This is a great way to befriend and support many local teens, most of whom are not in our churches. Aim5for 2025.. hold another 748 Summit'for locol charity Gnd church leaders. ond Civic Bre(7kfo5t.' continue to lookforfvnding to re-start the T48 Enabler role.. strengthen leoder5'fellowship. Equip the Saints for Mission In 2024: we organised Lent seminar series 'Go￿5 Better Storf to help equip 8asingstoke Christians to speak with grace and truth about the big issues of our day (supported by CARE). Without our T48 Enabler. we had to postpone our long hoped-for Healthcare Gathering. For 2025.. 8.'unitedcontinue to arronge termly eveningsfor worship, teoching andproyer, t7nd some Social event5 too. Communlcatlon Our webslte continues to provide a listing of all the churches In the town. we send regular email newsletters, and we pass on details of events of interest to churches and Christians. In 2024: We grew the number of email subscribers. We'd hoped to mlgrate to a new webslte with a modernised logo, but neither is yet complete. Aimsfor 2025.. replote the k)go ond webslte.. gmw the dlrect emoil subscribers, so more locol Christians con heor whays going on, without needing to go through over-stretched church leoders.

Food Safety Although we are handling surplus food. we are still an intrinsic part of the food supply chain and as such have to comply with all relevant regulations. This means all food we receive is 50rted on the Same day and any "use dated food is either frozen (with a date frozen label}, passed on to organisations who can use it on that day Isuch as May Place) or disposed Both our vehicles have chilled and frozen compartments and drivers are instructed to use them. We have again upgraded our frÈezer capatity this year adding several more large freezÈrs making a total of 17 in the unlt. We also rety on vacant community ffeezers in our Hubs in times of plenty. Volunteers CFL ha5 approximately 80 volunteer5 who work an average of 250 hours a week helpin8 the local communlty and we believe we are enabling our hubs to touch thelsves of over 30LM) people a week.

This year we have stru88led to appoint a new Admin assistant so re8ular newsletters and up to date info has been harder to communicate. We hope to have this ￿501ved soon. Transport This year we have replaced our oldest vehicle with a ffluch younger and sli8htly larger model. Kept at K18 it is more convenient for ad hoc collections and emergency deliveries. Our large delivery van will need replacing at some stage and this is under consideration. We have undergone a major route restructure this yearadding both vehicles to some mornings which has made for easier deliveries with le55 volumes per load. This has ensured food has been safely kept and delivered a5 soon as possible from loading. Both vehicles are now involved every evening with deliveries, one serving the west and one the east side of town. Recognition We were visited by our MP Luke Murpheywho gained insight into the nature of the work. He expressed an interest in further involvement goin8 forward. We have spoken at various opportunities as they have presented both in Basingstoke and around the country trying to enthuse others to collert and redistribute 5urplu5 food across the nation. Premlses We continue to enjoy our premises at K18 and have grown to appreciate the space provided although our Christma5 collertion5 this year were more successful with a 6 day stoppa8e due to excess volumes of food, We took over 2,000 crates In December alone.
