The Trustees of the Hillside Gospel Hall Trust confirm that they have complied with their duty under Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commissions general guidance to charities on public benefit.
2021 – 2022 continued to be a year of challenges with individuals, businesses and charities alike facing unique challenges as we navigated through the aftermath of COVID-19.
The Trustees and the regular congregational members were determined to continue their public benefit works and we have found this financial year has demanded even more resource as we support people and communities around our places of worship.
In addition, the suffering of those in Ukraine has also highlighted the unprecedented humanitarian needs present in the world today.

Street Preaching and Tract Distribution
We were unable to maintain our longstanding committal to the open-air preaching in the town centres of Nottingham and Derby due to COVID restrictions. Tracts and gospel cards were still available for collection from the main Gospel Hall. Any enquiries received by the Trustees, or made to Central Office, have been followed up fully and where applicable people have been directed to the following website where literature can be purchased or downloaded for reading in multiple languages.

Nottingham RRT Events
The trust see that the work carried out by its members as volunteers of the Rapid Relief Team (RRT) is of the utmost importance in the community and have assisted in the following operations supporting the wider community:
May 2021: Harrimans Lane, Dunkirk Fire
On Thursday 6th May 2021 Nottingham RRT were alerted to a very large fire that had broken out at Sims Metal on Harrimans Lane, Dunkirk, Nottingham at 5:30pm.
Over the course of the next hour and a half Nottingham RRT were called on to provide support for around 120 emergency services personnel on the scene, including Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue, Nottinghamshire Police, East Midlands Ambulance Service and other colleagues from other organisations.
By 7:00pm volunteers from Nottingham RRT were assembling provisions and equipment and by 8:30pm a team of 12 volunteers were on site.
RRT were able to assemble the equipment and RRT tent within 100 yards of the Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue incident command centre on site. Over the course of the next 3 hours, RRT provided around 150 BBQ burger meals, hot drinks, cold drinks, crisps and chocolate bars. Around 11:45pm RRT pulled back from site leaving any leftover provisions with the incident command centre.
Damien West, area manager for Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue responded to a post on RRT social media saying “Amazing support from RRT again at another significant incident. Kept crews going through cold, wet and arduous conditions. Huge thanks. 👏👏👏”

September 2021: RRT Nottingham HeadHigh Fundamental Event – Mental Health
On Saturday 4th September 2021 Nottingham RRT were asked to be a part of the HeadHigh Fundamental Event on Cathedral Green, Derby to provide a free burger meal to attendees at the event.
The purpose of the Fundamental Event organised by HeadHigh was to raise awareness of mental illness and to encourage people to talk about the topic.
HeadHigh is a charity that was founded by Amanda Solloway, MP for Derby North in 2017, after seeing the devasting impact that mental health issues can have in people’s life.
RRT were invited to the event to support in providing a free lunch. Between 12pm – 2pm, RRT served over 215 burger meals to those attending event.
Amanda was extremely grateful for the support of RRT, commenting that “you guys have been absolutely awesome!”
