In April 2020, we partnering with local organizations to collect and send secondhand clothes overseas and also to collect second hand clothing for the homeless and families in need in our community and in St Lucia.
Between April 2020 and July 2020 the charity was involved in providing food items and toiletries to an food bank in Enfield to support their work in reaching out to the community during the Coronavirus Pandemic lockdown. We also had to provide welfare support to various families and individuals who were bereaved and in need of financial support during the pandemic.
Public benefit
The charity benefits the public by providing services such as counselling to families, students, bereaved persons, those in financial difficulties, prayer support, men and women meetings and events for everyone in the community.
Also the charity produces and promotes religious books and tapes and CD's for distribution to the general public.

Expenditure which was kept to the bare minimum was mainly operational costs.

FUTURE PLANS
The charity plans to significantly increase its community outreach programmes including extending the sleep out rough initiative working with local homeless people, more activities with the Father 2 Father organisation and other local organisations that work with the elderly.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document the Memorandum and Articles of Association incorporated 12 July 2012 and constitutes a limited company limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The directors of the company are also Charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Article of Association, the Trustees are elected to serve under a fixed term.
Organisational structure
The charity was established in July 2012 but only started operations in July 2014. The governance of the Charity is maintained by the 2 trustees while the Resident Pastor deals with Pastoral and other related matters. The trustees hold regular board meetings and additional meetings when required.
The charity is supported by over 30 volunteers who work on average 4 hours every week. If minimum wage is applied to this the cash value to the charity of the volunteer force in a full year could be over £54,413. Without the support of these volunteer the charity would not have been able to meet its aims and objectives effectively.
Induction and training of new trustees
The trustees are familiar with the workings of the church and the charity draws from long-standing church members and Christians from other denominations that have a skill-set to offer. New trustees are encouraged to attend a series of short training and are encouraged to attend training seminars provided by external organisations.

GOING CONCERN
On the 23rd March 2020, in response to the Coronavirus Pandemic, the government announced an action plan which, among a series of measures, included a national lockdown. This restricted non-essential travel and disallowed all social gatherings of groups including holding of church services. As a result the church could no longer hold services in its usual venue and from that date to the end of this financial year, held services online using Zoom. This restricted our services and events but it did not have any detrimental effect on the incoming resources of the charity.
