Statement of Trustees, Report
Christian Gold House Ministry is a registered community charity organisation that
operates as a community hub running a food bank, community fridge and a worship
centre. We were registered as a charity in 2013 to help elevate the suffering of some
residents of Kensington designated as a low income crime ridden area by the local
Liverpool authority. We operate a food bank that supports an average 200 people a
week, run a community fridge that offers people hot meals and the church hall holds
many host many charitable events organised by other charitable organisations. We
hold church services once a week that brings together people from different
communities living in Kensington and the surrounding areas
Our charity was initially created when we nOti￿d dozens of mostly homeless people
coming and asking for support with food par￿lS and other hot meals. We started
giving out small food parcels to ;people who needed help but our food bank went
operational at the start of the COVID crisis in 2019 and rt has been expanding ever
sin￿. We have applied and received funding from various funders including the
national lottery community fund. churches of England and other funders that has
enabled the food bank to expand
We recently received funding from the community fridge network and now also run a
food fridge where we keep and give people diaries like milk. soft drinks and frozen
food.

We host children holiday programmes each half term and have supported more than
300 families over three years with child support during holidays when they drop their
children during holidays
The church hall also has a library for both adutts and young people and is free to use
by anyone.
Activity 1
Food bank. Our food bank runs four times a week giving out food parcels to an
average of 200 people each week. An average food package contains tinned food,
rice, Baked beans, fresh fruits like bananas and oranges, pasta and African food like
yams, bananas, cassava
Our food bank is very popular ion the area because unlike other food banks, we give
people food free of any cost. Other food banks now charge a nominal fee to get food
parcels but we decided to make ours free because we are aware most users will
have lrttle cash to spare.
Activity 2 (optional)
We also run a community fridge available to use by anyone in the community.
People with extra food drop some in the fridge while those who need it can get it
free. Our community fridge has mostly frozen food like pizza, bread, milk, soft drinks
and is open Mondays to Thursday and serves the local community and people from
surrounding areas. We also provide hot drinks in our kitchen to anyone who needs it.
We carry out on-going work on the 154 years old building because when we
acquired the lease for the building in 2018, it was in a high state of disrepair.
Most of the funds for the repairs has been from donations from church members and
supporters amounting to £125.700. We have used the donated funds for various
repair work on the church including brick work, roof repairs, floor repairs, We hired
various professional trademen including architects, surveyors, scaffolders, plumbers,
electricians, roofers who did various repair works on the 154 year old structure of the
building.
After acquiring the lease of the building in 2018, it was in a high state of disrepair.
We had to go to court to evict dozens of squatters who had been living inside for
many years and who had caused extensive damage to the structure including the
wear and tear it has suffered because it is more than 154 years old now.
We needed to do all this extensive repair work but a lot of repairs is still outstanding
including the roof which we have been advised needs to be completely changed as rt
leaks from various points.

All Churches Trust gave our charity £4000 in 2022 which we used to threes around
the roof and some tree growth by the side of the building.
Because the building is now more than 154 years old, it suffers from a lot of disrepair
despite the fact we have put in a lot of money to do the most outstanding repairs.
The roof has multiple holes that leak and when we hired the services of a surveyor to
check, he informed us we need a complete new roof, The windows and doors either
have to be repaired and some needs to be completely changed because of their
extensive state of disrepair. We also need to do some repair works on the section of
the building where we have the food bank, the kitchen section and some floorboards
also need to be changed. There will also be electrical, plumbing and general repairs
work done on the building
Our goal is to make the building safe and much more welcoming so we can expand
the community services we offer to the community. Even though the community uses
the building for many activities, we could be doing a lot more rf the building had the
essential repair works it badly needs so it will be available for community use long
after we are no longer around. We do not want the local community that has used
the building in one fom or another for the last 154 years to loss it because of
negligence and disrepair. As stated above, we have carried out extensive repair
works on the building but a lot more work still has to happen to ensure the building
survives and continues serving the local community
We will continue expanding the activities already taking pla￿ in the church building
which includes a food bank that gives food parcels to more than 200 people weekly.
a community fridge where soft drinks and frozen food is available to anyone who
needs them and people in the community that leave their excess food in the fridge
for others to take.
The children half tenn food and play activities for young people will continue and will
be expanded if and when we repair the building. We sometimes have up to 150
young people attending the half time activities in the church
We have hired a choir master who will continue delivering the music lessons and
teaching young people how to play musical instruments like drums, piano's and
guitars.
We already hire out our church hall to various charities to host their events including
project launches, energy savings events, violence against women prevention
workshops and a host of other activities. This helps us get some income to continue
running the maintaining the building
The cooking lessons for mostly teenagers will continue in the kitchen either when
we apply for funding to deliver them or hire the kitchen out to other organisations to
do same. Sometimes the church pays for the teaching lessons as we consider
cooking an essential life skill and want to teach teenagers who don't know how to
cook the importance of cooking healthy meals. We also have delivered video editing
and filming lessons to dozens of young people and will continue doing same and
expanding when the building is repaired and looks a lot more presentable than it is
now.

The building will also continue hosting out weekly church services attended by more
than 100 people with expansion plans as more people will be worshiping with us
when we finish carrying out the repair works the building needs
The building was originally designed and used as a worship hall and we still use it as
a worship centre every Sunday and some weekdays. Church activities also include
marriages, baptisms and funeral ServI￿S that hold in the church. Our church is a
vibrant Pentecostal church attended by migrants from Nigeria. Ghana, Kenya,
Cameroon, South Africa and a few Caribbean countries. We also have a handful of
white worshippers.
A diverse number of local charities from Citizen Outreach Coalition to Women and
Digital Inclusion have hired the church hall for various activities including to advice
residents about reducing their energy usage and bills, cooking sessions and
launching a heritage lottery project. Many other charities will want to also hire the
building but we need repair work to improve the building heating and other issues to
make it more convenient to hire out
Hundreds of children take part each year during our young people holiday food
programme (5-16 year olds) The programme funded by ￿ntral government through
the local authority helps mostly underprivileged young people get access to free out
of school activities during the holidays. redU￿S social isolation and provides them
with a balan￿d meal
On average, 250 people use our food bank and community fridge project to get free
food parcels and other food items each week. These are mostly people from the
local community. For people too old or who cannot get to the food bank, we take the
food parcels to them at home. We sometimes also donate excess food to the
Salvation Anny and some other old peoples, homes.
More than 100 young people have re￿iVed free training on project management,
filming and video editing, playing music instruments like drums, guitars and pianos
and singing lessons. Others had volunteered on a wide range of activities and
projects we deliver from the building.
-180 young people between the ages of 5-16 use the building for the holiday
activities and food programme during the summer and Christmas holidays. During
the programme, they get free launch, play a variety of games including football,
basketball, handball. They also leam cooking lessons and some leam how to play
the musical instruments we have
-210 People use our food bank weekly on Thursdays and Sundays and sometimes
when we have additional funding, we expand our services and also provide food
parcels to people who cannot come to the church to collect them. On average then,
a total of 250 people use our food bank ServI￿S weekly

-more than 200 people attend our church services mainly on sundays and
sometimes when we have additional weekly ServI￿S
-60 people now use our community fridge which we recently launched to provide
mostly milk. tea and frozen food to people. We also provide hot drinks to anyone
who visits the community fridge. Everyone in the community can provide good
quality edible food for the fridge which anyone who needs it can take while we also
stock the fridges regularly
45 young people have been trained in video filming and editing skills during
different oral history projects that have been delivered in the building, one by our
church and another community organisation. These are skills we hope some of the
young people WAI develop into professions tomorrow.
-50 teenagers have re￿iVed healthy cooking lessons in our krtchen during two
different cooking projects that have taken place there, one of them delivered by the
church and a second by another community organisation
-25 young people have leamt to play drums. guitars and pianos and also how to sing
during various training sessions our choir master has delivered.
-300 people attend other events and activities we host in our church hall including
marriages, project launches and other events we hold occasionally.
-The approximately 250 weekly people who use our food bank services weekly will
also be negatively affected if we loss the building and ca no longer provide them with
the lifesaving food parcels we now provide at no cost to users. Most food banks now
have a service charge and ours is popular in the locality because we give our food
parcels free.
-The almost 200 children and young people who use the church building for the half
term holiday food programme will lose out on making new friends. learning more
skills and getting free lunch rf we loss the building and can no longer provide that
servi￿. Also, parents who get respite when their children are with us during the
holiday programme may have to look for altemative places some of which they may
have to pay for them.
-Local community organisations that have been hiring our church hall for their
activities like cooking sessions, launch events, barbecues, marriages and birthday
celebrations will be affected as they will need to look for alternative venues to host
their events
We have a management group with the active involvement of three community
leaders who are directty involved in decisions we make about activities at the church.
We deiced on this approach earty on because we realized we would achieve little in

the community if we did not involve them directly in running the church building. The
management board has a maintenance committee that meets regularly and decides
on urgent work that needs done on the building and votes the budget for the work.
Some of the members of the management committee are also our church members
and this helps us operate for the benefrts of the community and our church
members. . .
Social Media.
We have social media accounts on fa￿boOk, twffter, Instagram and youtube where
we post some of the charitable work we do and encourage people to express their
views and interact with the things we do. Some people sometimes use these
plafforms to make suggestions which we take to our management Committ￿ for
discussion rf we think they may help us improve the services and activities we
deliver.
Eventsmorkshops we organise in the community
When we first took over management of the church building, we consulted
extensively with church neighbours and some local community leaders and they
gave an insightul into the role the church had played in the community and what they
expected us to continue managing the building as a community hub. We have since
held two other meetings and the community insight and suggestions have been
integrated in the way we function, the kind of grants we apply for and the services we
provide in the church. We are presentty delivering a National Lottery Heritage Fund
project that traces the role the church has played in the community since it was
created in 1870. We interviewed two local councillors, food bank volunteers, food
bank users, some community members and a host of other people who have some
connection to the building. Their insights and suggestions have been collected and
we are gradually expanding our ser4ices and hoping to Introdu￿ new ones soon.
Stafflvolunteers opportunities for local residents
We have delivered 8 community projects since we started running the church hall as
a community hub and have hired staff and volunteers for these projects from the
local community. They have given us invaluable insights into the community thinking
and while the volunteers have learnt new skills including basic property
maintenance, editing and filming skills, music lessons, handicrafts etc. When
necessary, we provide referen￿ letters for the volunteers when they need them to
apply for other jobs.
