The Manchester City Mission Ithe Mission) derives its income from legacies. trusts and individual donations. Activities The Mission continues to operate within the powers defined in the Trust Deed and the Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Chariiy Commission on public benefit. While poverty, and its effect on those it touches, will always be the focus of the City Mission, our mlnistry framework of Incarnation, Compassion and Proclamation ensures that our work creates a 'natural' brldge between social action and evangelistic outreach. For nearly two decades MCM'S ministry framework of Incarnate Compassion based Proclamation of the Gospel has helped to steer our planning and strategising. This simple concept remains popular with churches who are happy to support MCM as a means of social transformation through Gospel mission. Nourlsh, MCM'S food poverty program. is led by project lead Barry and is supported by a team of volunteers. Nourish is now asSOClated with 7 food clubs serving 4 areas In Greater Manchester. Nick IMCM chaplain) was jolned by Janet (volunteer evangelist) in October. Three people told Janet that they had come to faith during the latter end of 2024. Nourish partners with numerous organisations resultin8 in provision of energy vouchers- food and toiletries donations; volunteers; and a 5-week course run by Age Concern. Operatlon Joy: Paul continued to reach out to the street populations in Bolton and Manchester City Centre, findin8 creatlve ways to engage with people for the Kingdom of Christ through purposeful presence. Sadly, 2024 saw the closure of venues hosting our drop-in centres. Daryl has been able to keep in touch with services users. and is currently searching for a home for a drop-in. Throughout 2024, MCM'S Next stage Housln8 project continued to provide ongoing support to people 5earchlng for permanent accommodation. Cath was able to directly source permanent housing for 5 people while supporting 9 others to establish thelr tenancies by helping to access funding to cover debts. Cath has also continued to make the most of our partnership with Acts 435 with 33 individuals and familles benefiting from 45 separate applications for Small grants covering a wide range of practical needs. Cath assisted 7 people wlth appllcations for visas and English citizenship. During 2024, MCM'S On the Wing chaplain, Nick, made the decision to remove himself from the Airport Chaplaincy Team to concentrate on supporting the members at MCM'S Nourish food club. He has continued to serve in three local prisons as part of the Prison Chaplaincy Team. As well as one to one work with individuals, Nick uses his skills to present courses and Christian worship. Nick continues to use the Warwick- Edinbureh Mental Wellbeing scale in conjunction with the course5 to measure their impact. Twenty-six prisoners said that they had found faith in 2024. MCM'S Groundbreakers schools project became an Independent charity in September 2024. Nourlsh has helped churche5 to open their own Independent food clubs Page 3 MCM missionary Sarah uses her Sevenhline project to facilitate a number of insightful initiatives including language classes, prayer meetings and courses, all designed to inspire and equip local churches in Geater Manchester to build bridges with their Musllm neighbours.
