The number of people registered on the Electoral Roll stands at 56. Average attendance for the ten thirty Sunday Service standing at 25 adults and 4 children
To further the above objectives and vision, the charities main activities and achievements were as follows:
Regular Sunday services were held at 10:30am led by ordained and non-ordained church members. A refreshed approach to the 10:30am worship was introduced in September with the aim of making services more accessible and family friendly. In addition, regular traditional Holy Communion services are held on alternating Fridays at 10:15am. Morning prayer continues online on Monday and Thursday mornings. Summit meets weekly and is aimed at young people over 12 years old.
As part of the benefice we have a monthly prayer meeting and also a space for prayer and worship called 'Love Worship'.
We held an annual Christingle service at Christmas, Light, Love and Time to Remember that were extremely well attended by families in the village and church members. In addition an annual Holiday Club for children in the school holidays is run with support of the other parishes in the benefice.
Fundraising includes an annual garden party, concerts, St Crux cafe, an advent fair and participation in the village fair.
Outreach projects include Jesus & Me (JAM) at the local primary school; Quench Cafe, a combined effort with the Methodist church that is well received by the local community; regular
Jigsaw Afternoons at the Church Hall. A Treasurer was appointed at the beginning of the year in addition to the Benefice Administrator and Multiply Lay Worker.
Significant work has taken place on the building this year including the drainage system, new carpet in the church, church path maintenance and the installation of solar panels to the Church Hall.
The Church Hall continues to be maintained well providing space for church members as needed and a hub for small business owners and the local community.
St Andrew's Church continues to have a good relationship with the local schools where the Christian ideals of inclusivity and care were identified as being apparent throughout the school.
In planning the activities, the trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.

Reserves Policy
Money should only be kept in reserve for specific reasons – whilst the Bible clearly indicates that we should not hoard, it is also clear that sensible planning for known events and responsibility for others is important. It was therefore felt appropriate to keep six months general running costs in reserve. This amounts to £43,822. Any reserves held above this amount is to be invested for the benefit of the parish.
