## Trustees Annual Report ## Jan 2021 - Dec 2021 1 Registered Charity Number: 1156295 Registered Company Number: 08900578 ## **Introduction** The Haven [Stapleford] continues to provide services to the community, in line with its charitable purposes. 2021 remained challenging, and activities remained limited of the back of the 2020 COVID regulations. In addition to our Church services, and meetings, we operated more than ten community focused programmes providing help and support to the two poorest communities in our Borough. Funding has meant that we were able to continue to deliver Food-bank, which returned to a collection only service deliveries going out to households that were shielding or unable to get to shops, as well as clients who were financially struggling. We are grateful to the many people who were willing to volunteer to help with food collections and deliveries. 2 Registered Charity Number: 1156295 Registered Company Number: 08900578 ## **Operations** Post lockdown we continued to provide support to our local community through the following services; - Food-bank [serviced over 1,200 individuals in 2021]. Continued throughout the year. - JobQuest [our job centre, nearest Job Centre Plus; 3 miles] - The computer suite is available once a week for job searches etc, and computer literacy training. We continue to provide help and support to referrals from Job Centre Plus. Community Café [open two days each week, with FREE soft play and WiFi] SuperTots [stay and play group, two sessions per week] New Directions [an agency based in our centre providing support and health checks for recovering addicts] OnUp - work experience for adults with learning difficulties In addition, providing personal and spiritual support for those who seek it, and opportunities for personal development, the church continued to provide; - Weekly worship service - Weekly Bible study groups Counselling & support Opportunities to develop gifts & abilities Management of the centre On the 3rd July 2021 our leadership was handed over from Rev David F Mansfield to Rev Russell Olding. This was during a church service with other Ministers and church members in attendance. David Mansfield remained on the payroll and in an active position until the end of 2021 when the church were pleased to release and send him to be senior minister in another AOG church. The Directors and members of the church are grateful for David and Sue’s service for over 17 years. Significant challenges for the Haven have been the heating system with the Gas boiler ceasing to work in 2020 and after all investigation by ourselves and Nottinghamshire Council it has been agreed that the current Gas boilers are obsolete, rendering them beyond economic repair. Fortunately the hot water has an emersion heater back up system which has meant that hot water was constant. We are thankful to the Council, who installed temp boilers in the carpark. These got the building through the worst of the cold wether. The Café was also able to reopened during the year. Our Sunday services continue to be available in person and online, allowing us to reach those that are house bound or **----- Start of picture text -----**

We were also able to join other churches from The NG Network to have joint services/ Work continued on the Fixtures and Fittings of the building and made the most of the relaxing of rules meaning that more people could get involved with helping with the work. We have painted the entrance and Café area, and plan to freshen up the main Auditorium in the next 12 months. The Food bank continued to be active throughout the year we fed 2,350 people. At Christmas we were able to provide 45 Christmas Hampers including meat and veg. Over the year the food bank received incoming food donations weighing around 26,235Kg. 10,732kg came through Tesco 3,948kg of fresh bread produce from Warburton’s. We also received financial donations which are included in our end of year accounts. We are grateful for all the support from businesses and individuals. It has been wonderful to see the building return to full use again as restrictions were lifted. We were very pleased to work along side and receive support from a local charity “OnUp” who have been volunteering at the Haven to help with setting up and ground maintenance. In December 2021 we had a Santa’s Groto, which gave away 200 selection boxes to local children we were also able to support the Stapleford Fire Brigade with their drive through grotto. We also were able to bring back our Community Cinema with our annual showing of “The Polar Express” this was an immersive experience using lights, smoke machines, fans and snow machines It was a great hit. ## **Staffing** The core staff team remained steady, with two full-time and two part-time members. We saw a successful change in leadership, which was the result of 5 years worth of transition. All compliance challenges have been met in terms of employment law and wages/ pensions. On the job training is provided and personal development plans are in place. Levels of qualification and experience are above average.
