Members of the congregation, acting under the directions of the Trustees and with their full active encouragement, have continued with outreach work as they have done for many years. 2 | P a g e ## **Hillside Gospel Hall Trust** ## **2021 – 2022 Summary** 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. 3 | P a g e ## **Hillside Gospel Hall Trust** ## **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.

Kept crews going through cold, wet and arduous conditions. Huge thanks. 👏👏👏” 9 | P a g e ## **Hillside Gospel Hall Trust** June 2021: Seven members of the congregation supported RRT packing family food boxes bringing some relief and joy to households during their time of pressure and crisis. ## 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!” 10 | P a g e Hillside Gospel Hall Trust HEI HIGH Rat4d Rel￿TeA￿ hlr Jon &r¢h 19) stsion Iload Ra LES OJR 2JoswTr*AirX121 I YDU arè*yI.
