Charity Commission Trustees’ Report SHCF 2022/23
We meet at the church premises every Sunday Morning.
Some of our activities were done on line using Zoom, such as Prayer Meetings, Bible Studies, Elders and Trustees’ Meetings.
We continue to use Whats App to communicate with various groups: Kids Group Mums, Church Members, Youth Group.
Most members made monetary contributions directly to the church bank.
We are have continued our community projects: Senior’s Coffee Mornings, Kids Club, Youth Group and have started a new venture with ‘Build on Belief’ (a NHS based charity) helping people to adjust to the community after having mental health issues.
Church attendance has fluctuated since the Covid Lockdown but seems to have stabilised over the year.
