Poli
Documents
The Ecclesia has a Health and Safety Policy. and a Child and Vulnerable Adult Protection Policy
which requires all trustees and ecclesial volunteers to be DBS checked on a regular basis. Fire
Safety and insurance requirements are also complied wtth. We also hold yearly refresher sessions
on Child and Vulnerable Adult Protection which members attend on the day or encouraged to
review the session notes online after the event where possible.
Financial Su
Income is derived primarily from member donations. Gift Aid. grants and contributions towards
specific artivities and all the work of the Ecclesia is conducted on a voluntary basis. Most of the
Eccle5ia's attivities are provided free of charge to members and non-members alike. We have
procedures in place to ensure that travel and financFal expenses are covered. Money is distributed
from the ecclesia to other Christadelphian charities as well as local and national charities we are
happy to help, such as Worcester Foodbank, Maggs Day Centre, St Richard's Hospice, Acorn
Hospice and Mcmillan. We also support our members in need.
With regard to the Ecclesial finances. the trustees remain of the opinion that the balance of funds
in hand on 31. December 2025 was satisfactory. and that the current level of receipts and
payments are such that the Charity can continue to function during the coming year.
anisation
We allocate specific activities and workstreams to our Arranging Committee wtth a view to sharing
the workload and ensuring that all our arttVFties. are spectfically approved by the Committee. The
Arranging Committee have also taken the view that areas such as Admin, Preaching, Welfare and
Youth attivities should have additional input from the wider Ecclesia and each has a specific sub-
committee reporting back to the Arranging Committee.
We thank our Heavenly Father for all hi5 continued blessings as we strive to serve Him and thank
all those who have participated in and supported the work of the ecclesia in the past year.
