South Hams Christian Fellowship shcf.kingsbridge@gmail.com www.south-hams-christian-fellowship.org 11[th] May 2021 ## **Trustees Report for y/e 31[st] March 2021** The Trustees have met with the Leadership Team to review the activities, to receive the accounts for the year and to discuss plans for the forthcoming year. The year past has been a year of change for SHCF, as with most of the world, due to the restrictions posed by the Government’s response to the Covid pandemic. The Fellowship has not been able to meet in person for services, house-groups or other activities and has had to maintain the ‘life’ of the Fellowship through Zoom services and by personal phone calls to support members. Overall, although like most, we feel a little weary of this means of communication, we have seen the members of the Fellowship work hard to support each other, particularly caring those who live alone. Members of the Fellowship also volunteered to help in community service like the Kingsbridge Food Bank and to train as vaccinators for the application of the vaccine for Covid. The accounts for the year were presented and accepted and it was noted that SHCF had maintained its intention of using incoming funds, that were not required to maintain the work of the Fellowship, in the support of Christian mission and relief both in the U.K. and across the world. This support amounted to 49.63% of total income. It was also noted that the 2021 Gift Day in support of the ‘Chapel Project’ had raised an additional amount of approximately £16,000, inclusive of Gift Aid, and this amount was recorded as both Restricted and Designated Funds within the accounting records. This year has seen the Fellowship progressing with the restoration, repair and refurbishment of the Chapel building in Kingsbridge and at the time of writing this report, the Fellowship is preparing to hold its first service there at the beginning of July with an ‘official opening’ at the beginning of September. As with any project of this nature, we have experienced additional expense to that identified in the original survey. This has pushed up the costs of restoration to £365,000 but we have experienced great generosity of giving from both members of the Fellowship, the Trustees of the Chapel and the grant making trusts that we have approached and have gathered £336,000 at the time of this report. As a Fellowship, we are thankful to God for His provision thus far and are trusting Him for the remaining requirement. The physical work on the Chapel has progressed, even during the ‘lock-down’ period, thanks to the efforts of Steve Bruce, our Principal Contractor, who has worked tirelessly himself and managed the trade contractors as they have come on site to do the specialist work – the Trustees recognise all Steve’s endeavours and thank him accordingly. The Trustees are looking forward to the challenges of the coming year in respect of finishing the restoration work in the Chapel and are looking forward to a resumption of Fellowship life in the new premises once the building is completed and the Covid pandemic allows.
