**Report of the Trustees for the Period Ended 31 March 2024**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The Object of the CIO is, for the public benefit, the advancement of the Christian faith in Wimborne, Dorset and such other parts of the United Kingdom and the world as the charity trustees may from time to time decide.
Our main aim is to engage with those who would not normally engage with church and to explain how the Christian gospel (good news) can make a substantial improvement to their lives. This is done by a range of activities including:
- Once a week during term time we run an event which explains the relevance of the Christian gospel
- • Personal meetings with individuals – particularly those in full-time education who need extra support in school
- Periodic community service activities
In exercising their powers and duties, the trustees have had due regard for the public benefit guidance of the Charity Commission. All activities are undertaken to further its charitable purposes for the public benefit.
## **Significant Charitable activities**
Many young and older people have had the experience of substantial change in their lives as a direct result of being involved in the activities of The Point. It is inappropriate to detail any specific individuals but there are a good number whose lives have benefited greatly from their experience of The Point.
The Point operates under a Bishop’s Mission Order from the Diocese of Salisbury which gives The Point permission to operate within the Anglican structures across the Wimborne Deanery.
## **Safeguarding**
The Point works with some young people and occasionally vulnerable adults so it takes its responsibilities in this respect very seriously. To this end The Point has a Safeguarding policy to which it adheres and maintains it by periodic review. In accordance with this policy The Point runs DBS checks on all adult volunteers and conducts regular training to ensure that all are aware of the safeguarding policy and processes.
## **Main Achievements**
In the past year The Point has continued to meet at The Allendale Centre in Wimborne on a Tuesday night providing a social space with topical discussions on faith and issues that impact people’s lives. We have seen quite a few people join us for a season as a consequence of them using the Wimborne Food Hub. Many of these individuals are dealing with addictions or poor mental health. The Point has provided them with access to a support community that they would otherwise struggle to access.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
The Point has a reserve policy of having no reserves and using all the funds that it has for extending the work. As all funds come from people and a trust associated with The Point it recognises the need to provide for the costs it is committed to.
## **The Past Year**
The Point sought and received income from two sources:
- Gifts from those involved running the week-to-week activities
- Gifts from some other Christians who wish to support its ministry
Total income for the year was £225 (£804 previous year).
