| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | To promote the Christian faith in the UK and overseas To promote charitable purposes for the benefit of the inhabitants of Weymouth and Portland and the world, including the relief of poverty, sickness and the support of the aged, and those with addiction issues, and the advancement of religious and secular education. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
Promoting the Christian faith: The church meets weekly on a Sunday for a church service to which all are welcome. In addition there are informal Connect Group meetings in homes, and groups to teach and encourage children and youth in the Christian faith. Sometimes the Connect Groups are suspended so that focussed Christian teaching can be brought to everyone at the church building. Relief of poverty: Soup run – we work in partnership with other churches in the town to run a weekly soup run for the street community across Weymouth and Portland; providing hot meals (soup- main meal- fruit/cake) and hot drinks, clothing, sleeping bags and blankets as and when they are available/required. Support to obtain housing and employment – we are available to support people who make themselves known to us through the church or the soup run to provide references for employment or accommodation. Support for bereaved families – we make our premises available, or provide funeral officiating services at no charge for those |
who have been bereaved, and provide practical support wherever possible. Support for people wanting prayer – We are available to offer prayer help to all who ask of us.
Support for the general community and those with additional needs: we run a free coffee morning for anyone to come in for free hot drink and cake, conversation and support. We run another coffee morning with a particular emphasis on promoting and using Maketon signing. Advancement of religious education: Public Sunday services; Connect groups and children’s and youth groups for different ages to connect with others and build strong community; We are partners with Kintsugi Hope, a well-being charity, and we offered a wellbeing course to the public in this period but there were no takers. Following and Fishing training to teach Christians how to share their faith with others;
Street Pastors – we continue to support the work of Street Pastors, both financially and by church members volunteering;
We support the work of Refresh, - a charity promoting church unity across the town, and through which we also support the work of debt relief charity, CAP Overseas mission – we have not given financial support for people affected by the war in Ukraine this year; but we have given prayer and practical support to establish or strengthen churches and charitable projects in Sri Lanka. We do support the work of International Justice Mission (IJM) in prayer and in financial giving in helping to combat modern day slavery and CSE. Commission Festival and Newday – the church underwrites various costs to enable people to attend our annual church camping weekend and our annual youth camp. Non church members are supported to attend with up to 100% of the costs being met where necessary. Christian teaching and “being community together” are the main focus of these events. We held our first Commission Festival in August 2023 and paid for a young single parent mum and her children to attend. Once again, Newday took place and the church paid for some young people to attend in August 2023 who had no previous church connection.
