Trinity Chippenham Report of the Trustees continued For the year ended 31 December 2021
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objects of the Trust are to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs appearing in the Schedule hereto in Chippenham and in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Trustees may from time to time think fit and to fulfil such other purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales and are connected with the charitable work of the charity.
The Church is not a building, but a gathering of ordinary people of different ages and backgrounds, whose lives have been changed by Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The New Testament reveals the Church as a community of people, properly taught and cared for, who by loving and serving Jesus Christ, were also committed to love and care for each other and to bring a blessing to the area in which they lived. Trinity Chippenham; its trustees, elders, and those who participate in the church community are committed to the restoration of those New Testament principles. It is not alone in this, it is one of many Churches in the area, country and all over the world that is re-discovering the excitement of knowing Jesus Christ. The vision is to see the people of Chippenham come to discover the transforming delight of the love of the Trinity that is found in relationship with Jesus as Lord, Saviour and friend.
Trinity Chippenham continues a midweek youth group and Life Groups, meeting in homes of church members to study the Bible, encourage one another and praying together. All activities are listed on www.trinitychippenham.org. Other activities included:
-
An outdoor Easter kids gathering in April 2021.
-
An outdoor spring party in May 2021.
-
A youth group camping trip in June 2021.
-
A launch service for the Chippenham CAP Debt Centre in June 2021.
-
One all-age service on a Sunday, and a Light Party in October 2021.
-
Men’s and Women’s social events and a carol service before Christmas, 2021.
Every activity of Trinity Chippenham is undertaken for the public benefit and is open to all without charge. Trinity Chippenham is a loving and welcoming community of Christians who are continuing to learn what it means to be church together. 2021 was a difficult year for everyone in the UK, but also an encouraging year in the life of the church community and its provision of service for the public benefit despite some enforced limitations.
In planning the activities for 2021, and in planning for the 2022 programme, the trustees have had regard to the guidance regarding public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Trinity Chippenham continued to meet during 2021, and despite the unique challenges of the Coronavirus restrictions, was able to get back to a normal and full church programme. The Sunday gathering continued with contemporaneous children’s work (TC Kids and TC Tots).
Life Groups continued during the year. Other informal gatherings, and special one-off gatherings were restricted. The youth group met midweek most weeks, moving into rented space for their gatherings due to increasing numbers. All special events were well attended by guests. We did not charge entry to these or any events in 2021.
The church website, www.trinitychippenham.org, remained live throughout the year offering information about the church, as well as recordings of church sermons for the public to access without charge.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Trinity Chippenham does not have a reserves policy. Trinity Chippenham raises its funds by discreet offerings from participants, many of whom choose to give by direct debit each month into the church bank account. We do not charge for participation in the normal programme of church events, and we do not pass an offering receptacle during any church gatherings.
