2022/2023 ANNUAL REPORT Charity number1158883 CHURCH ## **South Chard Church** This is the eighth annual report from the Trustee board at South Chard Church CIO which was formally registered in October 2014. Since our previous annual review, the church has increased the amount of work we do within the local community. New groups have been established which are specific to the needs of the people we are connected with. We have been able to support more people practically, spiritually and emotionally due to the appointment of a Community Worker alongside our Community Manager. All members of our church are encouraged to learn from one another, offer pastoral support to each other and play their part within the community. We have four trustees on the board, who meet on a regular basis and hold an AGM. South Chard Church continues to be affiliated with Churches in Communities International, who are on standby to offer any support or advice should we require it. We also continue to work with Churches Together in Chard (part of Churches Together In England) and look forward to furthering our relationship with them in the coming year. 1 ## **Community Life** This year we have continued to build on the success of The Hub at South Chard Church. This initiative is designed to engage our resources and volunteers in various programmes that support community life. ## **Newly Appointed Community Worker** We were thrilled to announce the appointment of a new Community Worker, Clare Redgrave. The post is funded by Somerset Community Foundation. Working alongside our Community Manager, Jenny Reid, Clare works to support the growing work we are doing in our local community. She brings years of expertise working in the charitable field, a strategic mindset and chef skills to the table. As well as several dogs! ## **Coffee Mornings** We continue to run our coffee mornings every week. It’s become a great place for people to connect. During the winter months we teamed up with several local charities to create Chard Warm Spaces. We pooled our expertise and secured shared funding to keep our spaces open for longer. For several months we were able to secure weekly visits from Cosmic, a local project that aimed to help people who were isolated due to lack of access to technology. People were able to access training and devices. One lady with very little tech skills built her own website to showcase her short stories; some got fitbits; smart phones and laptops and were able to access training in how to use them. ## **Food Provision** We continue to work with our partners to provide food to where it is most needed. We work closely with Chard Community Hub and our local food bank (Lords Larder) and often get donations from our local supermarkets which we distribute to the community. We absolutely value the joined up approach our local charities and agencies are taking to ensure no one goes hungry. 2 At Christmas time we worked together to give out hundreds of children’s toys to families in our local community. Individuals and businesses donated to the cause and a mammoth team of volunteers rallied together to be Santa's elves and wrap and deliver the presents. We have a small fund called “Love Chard” that individuals can donate into. We use this fund when we find someone with a need that cannot be easily sourced from our partners. We use this fund to give people supermarket vouchers or buy an essential household product if theirs breaks. ## **Children and Young People** Working with Chard Churches Together a team of our volunteers go out every Wednesday to our local skate park to meet and chat with the youth and build relationships with them. This August we put on a Skate Jam event, bringing in new ramps; music; a BBQ and hosting a Skate and Scoot competition, with prizes. We love to help children get outside, get muddy, and experience nature so we also run forest walks to encourage exploration. Some of our work with children is linked to our family work, and at times our workers will assist families with school meetings (where concerns are raised) and will liaise with other agencies to seek the right provision for children and young people who are struggling. ## **Kids Matter** In partnership with two local primary schools we have now run two Kids Matter courses (www.kidsmatter.org.uk),helping parents get together to explore and learn new parenting ideas. Our facilitators work hard to create a welcoming, non judgmental environment of encouragement and mutual support. We have provided the course to sixteen local families this year. “It has been a real privilege to spend time getting together with parents. Sometimes it is just about realising you are not alone. Sharing your parenting experience with others only to hear “me too” helps parents realise that the struggles they face are often universal, and gives them the courage to try out new strategies. Gill Bough Kids Matter Facilitator 3 ## **Car Scheme** Our car scheme has flourished this year, communicating a real need in our community for transport. Working with the support of our local council, our volunteer driver pool of six have undertaken 83 journeys, helping our members access essential appointments. We are working hard to implement systems to facilitate this growing work and have had funding from Chard Town Council to help us with a new laptop and DBS checks. ## **Bottled up** Bottled Up is a programme designed to support families of alcoholics. We are now working closely with the founders to run this programme through the Hub. We have also successfully secured funding of £2000 from Open Mental Health to support those in need of one to one counselling. Due to unexpected circumstances we had to postpone the launch of this project, but our volunteers were trained this year and we are primed and ready to launch. ## **Outstanding Volunteers** Our volunteer team continues to amaze us! This year is no exception. From helping people to get on top of their house or garden to providing bereavement support, wrapping Christmas presents or delivering food to even running a pop up herb growing course. We work hard to listen to our volunteers' ideas and give room and support in order for them to succeed. The team is diverse, friendly and ever growing and we are so proud to call them our friends. 4 ## **Tatworth Tots** We run a weekly parent and toddler session which is facilitated by three volunteers. We have over 30 families attending regularly. Every session comes to an end with Gill providing a song and instrument time where all the children and parents are encouraged to join in. Our Tots team try to identify those families who might need a little extra support and have connected several parents with financial support; food provision; emotional support and access to our Kids Matter parenting course. ## **External links** We know that we achieve more when we work together. That’s why we are part of the Chard One Team (regular, local multi agency meetings) and it’s why our Community Manager is a Council Coordinator for CiC (Churches in Communities), the vice chair of our local Independent Advisory Group for the Police (IAG). We continue to value our partners and invest in our connections. This year our Community Manager attended the NAIAG (National Association of Independent Advisory Groups to the Police) in Bedfordshire to continue to contribute to the conversation around how the community can best speak into the policies and procedures of the Police. “Working with external agencies is at the heart of what we do. We have achieved so much this year that wouldn't have been possible prior to working together with our partners.” Jenny, 44, Community Manager ## **Training** _“Knowing I can request training in a certain area if I feel I am lacking in expertise is so reassuring. I learnt so much on the impact measurement course that I have been able to implement, as well as share my learning with our local partners.”_ Jenny, 44, Community Manager We work hard to ensure all our staff and volunteers have relevant up to date training. This year we accessed training for different members of our team, putting our community manager on an extended course around digital engagement and impact measurement and we rolled out in-house safeguarding training day for all our volunteers. 5 ## **Church Life** ## **Sunday Morning Services** We meet every Sunday morning at 10am. We never really know what is going to happen these days as we have moved to a more informal set up where we listen to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to lead our time together. This has made for some interesting, amusing and absolutely wonderful encounters as we track this road together, recognising that there is not one person who has all the answers, rather we all, perhaps, bring a little piece to the table. ## **Growing Together** In line with our ethos we make room and facilitate individuals to start group gatherings and other get togethers where they feel it is needed. We have had several pop up Bible studies hosted in homes and at our building; discussion groups; prayer meetings and one to one discipleship develop in this way. We are encouraged to recognise again and again that everyone has something to contribute and we love to see this being worked out. 6 ## **Overseas Support** We continue to support Pastor Moses. A team of volunteers from South Chard Church have set up a scheme whereby we sponsor five children from an orphanage, on a monthly basis. This sponsorship pays for each child's educational needs, food, and housing. Furthermore we also assist financially with the hire of a hall which is used as their main church premises, holding meetings and clubs during the week and services at the weekend. ## **Building development** Since our last annual review we have decided to move forward with our decision to create a community space/drop in centre in one of our buildings. Drawings have been created, conversations are happening with our local council and we are preparing to submit an application to the planning department. Our fundraising team is on standby ready to apply for funding bids to finance the work. 7 ## **South Chard Church 1158883** ## **End of Year Financial Statements** ## **Year ending March 31 2023** _Page 1_ ## **Statement of Financial Activities** |**Statement of Financial Activities**|| |---|---| ||**Unrestricted**
