## **Annual Report 2022-23**
Prepared for the JCC Annual General Meeting 17[th] July 2023
## **Overview**
The Trustees have been in communication and have met, both as a whole group and also as a sub-group to manage the appointments relating to JazzWorx – see below.
JCC continues to occasionally meet/network with other community faith groups in Birmingham area, especially the Methodist Church District.
The following 3 areas have continued to function:
## _**JazzWorx**_
A paid post was prepared, and advertised publicly, and it was agreed to share the workload between Chris Donald, a website designer to set up the initial site and design, and then for Adam Sanders to coordinate the logistics for uploading resources to the site once established. This should start to function from the Autumn, with some testing, followed by increasing functionality. Some of JCC’s resources (e.g. PA/Lighting) have also been occasionally loaned out for local use which is aligned to our values and mission.
## _**JazzPilgrims**_
A second pilot year of Jazz Pilgrims has been completed. This is a geographically diverse group of JCC members who meet online monthly to explore a way of life and JCC values, especially in relation to creativity, and improvisation.
## _**JazzChurch**_
The Wednesday evening small group continues to meet weekly during term time either online or in person as availability allows. We have continued to study different books of the bible and in recent times worked through a book by theologian Thomas Jay Oord. We had quite a lot of questions about the book so have invited the writer to join us one evening on zoom and to our astonishment he was delighted to come! This is scheduled for 4th July. Since this time last year one core member has moved on which puts the
membership at 7. The group continues to see a lot of value in gathering regularly in the way that it helps our spiritual growth, and therefore we are beginning to think about how we might invite others to join.
## **Future Plans**
The trustees of JCC propose to plan the following activity for the coming year, to continue to:
- be led by our charitable aims
- store equipment and resources at our Birmingham base (in Kings Heath), and still have the option to gather and utilise the building if not being used for another event
- to contribute a small amount towards the cost of running the facility
- support the pilot work of _JazzPilgrims_ and _JazzWorx_ as outlined above, alongside supporting the midweek small group as needed
- offer practical and/or financial support to organisations and individuals aligned with our charitable aims
There is an allocation of money remaining to be gifted to causes aligned with JCC, which we could discuss at the AGM.
2 suggestions are:
Sputnik – who connect, celebrate and fund Christians who work in the creative arts https://sptnk.co.uk/
The _European Songwriting Conference_ , to be held in Strasbourg, France (and also online) 30[th] August – 3[rd] September 2023, and will also facilitate the UK part of a live linked concert across Europe in November. Last year, JCC supported this conference by covering the travel costs of the Chair of Trustees (Paul) in supporting this work, and it is proposed that JCC do something similar in 2023.
## **Financial Report**
This is on a separate document, and there will be an opportunity to discuss and raise questions on this at the AGM.
## **Trustees**
The AGM is an opportunity for new Trustees to be nominated and appointed by its membership, and (in line with our constitution) 1/3[rd] of Trustees must always be changed or re-nominated at the AGM.
