| Section D | Achievements and performance |
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year |
We have again achieved the budget requirements of the Nazarene South District, which contributes to their costs, the running of the Didsbury Naz- arene Theological College and World Evangelism. We have also helped a number of persons through times of serious illness and bereavement by prayer, and pastoral care. Much of the year was taken up with the purchase of a redundant Meth- odist chapel to use as our own place of worship and for running our clubs and activities. The decision to purchase the chapel was initially rejected but when the sale price was reduced, and along with a sense of insecurity at our present rented venue, and then realising the monies from the District were still available, there was renewed interest. At the time of writing we are waiting for the sale to be completed. The Pastor is now working part-time as a Prison Chaplain at HMP Whitemoor, March, Cambridgshire. |
