We do this by making connections between
people in churches of different
denominations, encouraging people to work

## **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|Across 2022 we had a number of
innovations which have furthered our
charitable objects.
We established 4 pillars as outlined below:
**1) Prayer**
We created the Harrogate District House of
Prayer. Through this, we continued the
Christian Leaders’ Prayer Breakfast;
meeting monthly in a local community café.
We also introduced a weekly prayer
gathering for people from churches across
the town to pray for local mission. This
has grown as the year progressed,
welcoming people in person and online, as
well as having a following via email.
**2) Relationships**
Over the last few years we have built a
strong relational network among church
leaders in our town. We continue to meet
twice a year to nurture relationships and
plan joint action. We invite external
speakers who spark ideas and provide both
challenge and encouragement.
This year we sought to look beyond
hierarchies and started to connect anyone
who was interested in working with others|
on mission. We’ve done this by launching an online community on the Mighty Networks app which continues to grow. To reflect this change in focus we also rebranded from The Harrogate Hub to Netmakers – highlighting the fact that we wanted to create a network across the town, not only connect leaders with a central hub. (Our legal name remains the same). We managed a smooth transition to the new brand, along with a comprehensive communications package including website, social media, email campaign and a printed booklet. Along with the change of brand, leaders have spent more time speaking at different churches, telling stories of our work and encouraging more people to get involved. This has helped to grow awareness of what we do. **3) Frontlines** As a way of encouraging the whole church community to participate in local mission, we’ve partnered with LICC (Charity number 286102). Together, we are inspiring people to take their Christian faith into their everyday life. We have done this via a series of in-person events, a prominent social media campaign and by accepting invitations to speak at churches. **4) Create** Our last pillar is all about helping people from local churches, and our community stakeholders, to work together on projects that support people in our town. For example: **Refugee Welcome** In response to the Ukraine war we coordinated a response to welcome refugees to our town. We developed a welcome booklet for refugees which was written in partnership with Harrogate District of Santuary and HADCA, and was distributed to families. We also developed a Refugee Signposting Guide for churches, collating all the different resources that are available in our town for those who want to help refugees. This remains on our website and continues to be relevant. **Warm Welcome** In response to the cost of living crisis we worked with churches and HADCA to
create a network of over 30 Warm Welcome venues across the town, ensuring that there was support available each day, and in different parts of the town and produced a timetable which was broadly circulated by both local government partners and on social media. **Pioneer Youth Worker** We continued to seek an appointment to this role, getting advice, amending the job description and advertising through different routes. **Scripture Union’s “It’s Your Move”** We continued to coordinate a number of churches who put on this event. It sees Year 6 children from across primary schools coming together to connect with others who will be going to the same high school as them. We provide an interactive event for them on The Stray, with worship, prayer, scripture and a short talk. We also provided all the publicity and administration for the event. **Brand Development** We have continued to invest in our brand communications. This has included ongoing development of our website, regular e-newsletter to our supporters, a social media plan and developing our database. We also connect with other church networks around the country such as New Wine, Kairos Connexions and Gather.
