to meet in person for substantial periods of
time the Church continued to hold worship
services each week, which included a
children’s message, together with midweek
meetings for bible study and prayer. An
online youth meeting during term times also
continued. When some face to face meetings
were able to take place social distancing was
practiced and this meant that two morning
services were held to accommodate those
who wished to attend.
Meetings that were not able to continue
included a weekly meeting for those with
learning and physical disabilities, a play
group for mums and toddlers, a children’s
meeting during school term times as well as
monthly lunches and monthly services at two
local care homes in Flint.| Statement confirming Para 1.18 whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit The Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Policy on grant making|Para 1.38|| |Policy on social investment
