## Charities Commission Annual Report 2024 Refresh has continued to have a significant effect in the local community through the churches and social action projects. The longstanding coordinator moved away from the area and so the trustees took on the coordination tasks until a new coordinator is appointed. This did not impair any of the activities which have carried on due to having very competent teams working in all the areas. A new coordinator will hopefully be appointed in 2025. The Christians Against Poverty (CAP) debt centre team has had another busy year. Twenty people went debt free thanks to the hard work of the 3 debt coaches and a very dedicated team of volunteers from across the town’s churches. This year was the 10[th] birthday of the local centre and there were some great celebrations as well as a cream tea, Easter dinners and a Christmas lunch. Deluxe hampers, donated by local people, were given to 40 clients. The interaction between CAP and many other agencies in the town is definitely bringing a more coordinated approach to people needing help. Family Matters has grown in its influence in the community. At the moment it concentrates on young children and babies but there are moves afoot to extend the work. There is a very dedicated team of people who have overseen this valuable work in the community and the work has moved into bigger premises to accommodate the growing work. The Keep in Touch programme has continued to develop and grow over the year with a good range of activities and meeting places. A meal or some sort of refreshments are always provided. Along with this a Life Skills course and a basic cooking course called ‘You Can Cook’ have been offered during the year and both have also been well received. Warm welcome spaces across the town have continued to operate alongside Keep in Touch. Fresh Start has run two courses during the year. Each course runs for 10-weeks and is staffed by volunteers for people battling addictions.. They meet weekly for a group session working through the course materials as well as providing 1-2-1 coaching throughout the course and beyond. There is also a weekly drop-in lunch for anyone who has ever been through the course. Fresh Start equips people to handle triggers, better understand their emotions and move forward towards freedom. This has now been running since 2019 and has supported over 30 people. Church leaders have continued to meet monthly, in person, over breakfast to support each other. There have been quite a few personnel changes during the year and this has resulted in a renewed impetus to work together and share initiatives.
