Partnership
has managed
the effects ofCovid and continued
its| |achievements||in relation|work in most respects despite various lock-downs
and restrictions.| |to these|objects||Throughout
the period we continued
to have well attended
quarterly
trustee
meetings
either via Zoom or in person when regulations
allowed. This| ||||enabled
us to make prompt decisions and continue to respond to events
in| ||||Wau. Our communications
with Wau have been maintained
with a| ||||consistent
flow of information
both ways. Our prayer meetings
have| ||||continued
duriing the period both via Zoom and in person when permitted.
In| ||||fact for a time we got more involvement
via Zoom as those who were not| ||||able to travel connected
via the internet.| ||||During the period we raised a total F35,880which was excellent considering| ||||the Covid restrictions.
Both individual
and Church
giving increased. We| ||||continued
to support StJohn's Theological college by providing 817000per| ||||year in two instalments
. In additions
we were able to give F5650to other| ||||theological
education —both to support female students
at StJohn's and for| ||||university
and college courses for several individuals.| ||||A donation ofE2000has been made to enable prisons and chaplaincy
work| ||||by the church within Wau. We follow this with interest tosee the effect of| ||||this support on the churches work.| ||||Our organisational
income and support comes primarily
from 4 churches| ||||which is disappointing
considering
that there are 23 churches
within the| ||||Deanery. We have tried at various time to expand the level ofactive| ||||deanery
interest
in PWP but without
much success.| ||||Despite Covid restrictions,
we decided to run our Annual
Fundraising
Holes| ||||Bay walk. This was spread out over a week rather than on one day with the| ||||21 participants
walking
when they chose This went very well and raised a| ||||commendable
22669.| ||||We have continued
to produce an excellent quarterly
newsletter
which is| ||||circulated
in soft copy to churches and supporters.
During the year articles
included a testimony
from a 3"Year theology student at StJohn's
and one| ||||on Archbishop
Moses peace mission.
During the period PWP held its 10~| ||||anniversary.
As we were unable to have a meeting to celebrate this we| ||||decided to produce and circulate a 10~Anniversary
booklet. An informative| ||||booklet was produced
by one ofour trustees
and circulated to all the| ||||Churches
within the Deanery and also to supporters
both within and outside| ||||ofthe Deanery.
The booklet was very well received.| ||||There were several changes
in personnel
and responsibilities
during this| ||||year.| ||||Mark Rathbone took over the production
ofthe Newsletter
from Richard| ||||Tazewell who had produced
the Newsletter
from its inception
in 2011.| ||||Richard continues as a trustee and to advise on Communications.| ||||We also got a new treasurer to replace Paul Nicholas who had been| ||||treasurer since 2013. One ofAndrew's
first tasks was to select and set| ||||PWP up on a new fundraising
platform.
'People's
Giving
' was selected as| ||||the most appropriate
site for our needs and this is proving
very successful.| ||||During the period ofthis report we heard the sad news that Rev Carol| ||||Langford, afounder trustee ofthe charity,
had died.| ## ## ## ## ## ##
