All of our activiti8s are aimed at the advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with our basis of faith through Christian Worship, Teaching and enlightening the public, Production of Christian literatur8, Missionary Work, Raising awareness about the Christian faith, and other such charitable purposes as shall, in the opinion of the elders, further the work of the church. We provide a plao of Christian worship and education in Fomiby, both at our premises and through a number of local groups held in people's homes, and occasionally directly in the local community via open air and one to one sessions. We hold a worship seNice at the church every week. During this time we have a Sunday school for ages 2-11 and also have Creche facilities available. Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) Out church feels very strongly that it has a responsibility and duty to all the 25,000 residents of Fomiby for their spiritual and social welfare. All our activities are therefore open to the general public, who are most welcome to attend. In our Sunday service we actively encourage everybody who attends to fill out a connection card so we can follow up wilh them and understand I help with their needs. W8 also try to engage with out community as much as possible by street evangelism, and providing a wam and welcoming environment for prayer and worship. We provid8 lifts to and from our ServIS and events for the elderly, infirm, and disablad as required. The Village Church Fomby has been a CIO since 2015. The Trustees are familiar with the requirements of seclion17(5) of the Charities Act and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) regulations 2008.

Section D Achievements and performance The Village Church Fomby continu8S to be a key contributor within the community of Fomiby as we fulfil our stated goals. Our weekly meeting have continued to change and adapt as required by the people of the Community who attend. We still provide for All Age Servic8s on weeks where regular Sunday School is not held (usually monthly) and have recently welcomed the older children (ages 12+1, previously in Sunday School to remain part of the regular service. Summary ofthe maln achievements of the charity during the year We have also continued with a primary school aged Kids Club, and a Youth Group for High School children both of which meet weekly during temi time. Both of these are supported by willing volunteers from within the church family, with an increasing impact on the children who are part of Ihese. We have also continued with regular weekly meetings in people's homes as we seek to include more of our regular Sunday attendees in our work. This has seen an increase both in numb8rs and in commitment from those in church as they seek to share their lives together. We Continue to m8et weekly for a prayar meeting, as well as regular leadership and oversight meetings, including those of Elders, Trustses, ministry teams, and planning teams. We are still hampered in our growth by the constraints of our building facilities and capacity. We continue in the search for suitable premises, however d8SPlte several promising possibilities none of these have come to fnjition. We have also faced obstacles in tsrms of the h8alth of our Full Time Elder, resulling in frequent absences and hospitslisations. This has hopefully now been resolved by surgery. We also faced the unexpected death of Paul Lister as our treasurer and trustee, who was present for the entirety of this report P8riod, which is now being completed by the remaining trustees. Paul will be shown as removed as a trustee in Ihe next years report. TAR March 2012
