March **2024** **TAR** 2 The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at All Saints. Our services and worship seek to put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church of All Saints Church and the Glebe Centre. Our objectives are set out in our Mission Action Plan as follows: - To ensure that all our ministry and activities are focussed around an ethos of welcome, hospitality, respect and kindness. **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** - Building the ministry of the church and worship for people of all ages. - Building discipleship and learning in our parish community. - • Continuing to work towards building a network of support and pastoral care in the parish. The Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. The main activities undertaken during 2024 are shown in sections D and E and captured in the minutes of All Saints Parochial Church Council. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers.
