Hosting a mental health 8UPPOrt group Hosting a domestic violence support group Charity shop Coffee shop The Foodbank and Furniture project operates from a warehouse nearby. When considering the activities offered the trustees of New Hope Community Church (NHCC) has had regard to the charity commission's guidance on public benefit together with a practical expression of our faith"Open your mouth for those who cannot speak, and for the rights of those who are left without help." Proverbs 31.8 and uses its resources to fulfil its objects and aims namely the relief of persons in hardship together with the advancement of the Christian faith. NHCC is open to all, offering a warm welcome to anyone regardless of their nationality. ethnicity. religious or social background fulfilling our calling to weLcome, in Christ's name"...every tribe and language and people and nation" Revelation 5.9. Achievements in the year This year NHCC as has seen a transition in leadership, with one of the existing leadership team stepping up to the role of Pastor, during this time the church has continued to serve the local community and develop. The church has continued to meet weekly on a Sunday for teaching and fellowship, and holds a café and youth meeting monthly. The start of the year saw the furniture project restart after a period of suspension due to the recent warehouse move, which impacted on the provision of furniture packs, due to the need to accumulate appropriate items for furniture packs to fulfil the project aims in this period. The Foodbank continued to operate with increased demand for the service due to the rising cost of living. Despite the drop in food donations, the foodbank team, both paid and volunteers, were still able to meet the needs of the community due to the volume of generous monetary donations and the committed work of our partner churches. GROW, the mental health support group continued to welcome new members and see the lives of those attending transformed e.g. some attendees were able to re-engage in social activity and have gone on to be active volunteers within the charity and beyond. During this time the domestic violence support programme continued to be offered at the church and was also invited to operate from other locations in the wider community, reaching both Sheff ield and Derbyshire.
The coffee shop flourished in this time, becoming a popularvenue for the community, both for individuals and community groups choosing to meet there. It has also provided an informal opportunity for the communityto explore the Christian faith. Donations to the charity shop continue to flood in enabling NHCC to provide goods for sale at low cost to support those impacted by the rising cost of living and contribute to the circular economy to recycle and reuse materials. The charity shop also provides an opportunity for members of the community to volunteer. increasing their skill set and confidence. this is particularly valuable to those who come on placement from local colleges and some of the attendees of GROW. The trustees and church leaders would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have volunteered within the charity during this period. Without your 8UPPOrt, the support of our partner churches. Supermarkets, local businesses and generous funders we could not re81ise the objects and aims of New Hope Community Church. thank you. It is our belief that through this cohesive community involvement we can reduce social isolation, address food poverty, boost resilience and fulfil the wider vision of NHCC to create thriving communities.
