Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
The year 2020 / 21 has been overshadowed by the covid-19 pandemic and we have needed to adjust our approach in the light of both Government instruction and advice from FIEC to whom we are affiliated Our purposes have not wavered and we have been creative in using the opportunities that we have identified adopting a hybrid approach of meeting in person where we can and using technology to ensure we reach our existing members and congregation and those looking to access to explore the Christian faith. Livestreaming of our services has in fact furthered our purposes beyond what we might have normally expected and we are planning to continue with virtual opportunities as part of our general operations We are delighted that we have been able to meet either in person or virtually on every Sunday of this past year and we have in the same way been able to provide for our young people through dedicated material on youtube when not meeting in person, in family services and also in person when allowed We have met weekly for prayer, again largely online and have been able to run some midweek meetings using the zoom platform. |
| The work with Christians against poverty has continued and our Mums and Toddlers group has met both virtually and in person Our support of individuals and organisations who carry out mission activities locally, nationally and internationally has continued unabated. This has included Friends International, Youth for Christ and Tearfund. |

Achievements and Performance
SORP reference
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | Surrey Chapel exists to impact and enhance lives both spiritually and practically; we have continued to focus on this through our core activities and in addition have reached out to the local community in practical ways We hold a morning worship service and this has been online only when necessary and then in person / livestreamed whenever this option has been available. In recent months, we have moved to a two service morning format to allow for all those wishing to attend under the restriction of social distancing. We believe that we have continued to reach around 300 people during a typical month. We have been amazed by random communication from people accessing our services with whom we have had no previous contact. We have maintained our youth work initially online, then with family services. There has been huge creativity and around 40 youngsters (up to 10 years old) attending. We have run Christianity explored online. Our fortnightly Connect Groups have been meeting online and these have served to really keep people connected through a period of unprecedented separation and in some cases isolation and loneliness. Our work in advice and job search Christians against poverty has continued and we appointed a community links coordinator this year to increase profile and ensure that people knew we are still available to help We have been delighted to reach out to the local community through local schools who have introduced us to families in particular hardship. We have been funding shopping trips to help alleviate some of those difficulties that these families have faced. |
