Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	We are aware of the guidance on public benefit and have taken this into account when making decisions on church programs. Special community-oriented programs such as Our International Day, the Ladies Retreat which attracted women from a variety of backgrounds, the night of prayer and reflection which happens once a month have been well received by families needing a reflective prayer time from their busy schedules over the month, were all done online from the time restrictions were introduced as we continued to provide avenues to engage the public to provide support as needed. Many in our community have continued to engage with our Sunday services which start later in the afternoon in London as it affords them time to rest in the morning after their busy schedules during the week and to still be part of the evening church service. We are pleased to report on the growing women’s fellowship activities, Men’s fellowship in Manchester, the teenage choir which is developing further. Our December 2019 Levites Gospel

Conference which featured songs, gospel messages and seminars on spiritual empowerment was well received by the public as a way of reflecting on events through the year.
