Achievements and Performance

SORP reference

Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 The charity has both taught and
demonstrated the Christian faith through
its activities. This has been done through
our worship services, weekly
House groups, and through other
activities.
The charity also demonstrates the
Christian faith through love and support
of the community, particularly those in
need and on the margins. We do this by
providing space and activities where
community can be developed, by feeding
those in need, providing support for
refugees and homeless people, as well as
people who struggle with
addictions. We seek to cultivate healthy
families and welcoming anyone who
comes to us.
We provide a safe place for youth in our
community, developing opportunities for
teens to develop healthy relationships
with other youth and adults. We provide
opportunity for youth to serve others,
developing an ethic of compassion and
caring for others.
