## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year - 2021** 

As we moved through all the changes due to COVID the Church programme began to resume whilst not losing the opportunities that the huge changes in 2020 enabled the Church to take hold of. As we began to meet in person once again, both outside and inside, the on-line presence continued to prove effective at keeping people connected and for introducing new people to the life of the Church. The buildings reopened to the community groups who had previously used the facilities preCOVID and life returned with many people accessing the activities that were provided by many different groups – Slimming World, Choir, Orchestra, Yoga classes, Cubs, Scouts, Brownies, Guides etc. 

Pastoral needs were now able to be made through face-to-face visits, and connections were reestablished through personal visits once again. Groups started meeting again for prayer and bible study and people were served practically as needs arose. The return to the building happened over time as people gained confidence to come, those still vulnerable and shielding remained in contact through various other means. 

Giving held up incredibly well and we were able to continue to support overseas mission partners through BMS (Baptist Missionary Society) and support local organisations through special offerings. Mission Partners continued to be supported in prayer and other personal giving opportunities were encouraged. 

The Deacons/Trustees continued to give strong leadership, support, and encouragement throughout the year, being aware of legal responsibilities as well as continuing care for everyone using the building and facilities. In the last few months of the year many new people started attending and getting connected to church life. The children’s and youth work grew strongly and provided an excellent support for all ages throughout the turmoil of the COVID experiences. 

We ended the year looking forward to many new opportunities to serve the community in 2022, in a strong position numerically and financially, ready to serve people of all ages and situations with love and grace.
