| 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 | The charity supported the immigrants from overseas who came into the UK during the year in settling down more quickly than they ordinarily would have. Most of them are gainfully employed now and have started contributing to the society where they settled. We organised seminars in business set up and management, marriage, education, emotional balance, and other similar areas. These has yielded results as participants tend to go into entrepreneurial activities that is now aligning them aright in entrepreneurial endeavours. We engaged in massive community support where the church accepts contributions from members and distributed to the needy in our midst. We also welcome the new Arrivals/New Students into the Community with a Welcome Service which encourages Community spirit and Cultural integration. We have improved on our annual Send Forth Service for Graduating Students. Our yearly tri-annual Community Outreach activities which involve welfare and distribution of food parcels to struggling members and families in the Community has improved tremendously and now have wider coverage than it used to. With downturn in the economy, more and more persons are now becoming persons-in-need and we have taken cognisance of this in our budget for this programme. Our food bank programme was stepped up such that even African cooked food was made available to the Africans from abroad and other food items including served coffee for the members here. Collaboration with the Anglican church was increased, and impact felt by our members and non-members within the community as inter-cultural integration have improved. Our outreach activities have also increased tremendously such that other life transforming programmes that were hitherto no seen came alive. The women, men groups received a boost from fresh ideas availed by the new members from overseas and has taken a new dimension in impacting lives within the community. Sports and community event held at Eaton Park was worthy of mention as it yielded such tremendous results contributing to the health awareness and wellbeing of the participants directly and indirectly. We have improved on our light refreshments after every service on Sundays and Tuesdays, and provision of food at longer sessions every 1st Sunday tagged Thanksgiving Sunday and every 3rd Tuesday tagged Bible Feast. This has helped in the support received by the target persons in our objective statement. |
Membership and activities have grown over the years, accounting for a higher inflow of voluntary offering and donations and expenses alike.
