Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

• At the beginning of the year Christ Assemblies planned to carry on with the raising of domestic violence awareness , charity run and walks but due to the national lockdowns caused by the COVID 19 pandemic, Christ Assemblies could not complete these activities.

• However, Christ Assemblies managed to help a care home [ White Doves ] in Derby by supplying PPE during the pandemic period.

• Due to COVID 19 Pandemic, Christ Assemblies could not hold Sunday services in our Church building. However, we managed to offer a range of services during the week and on Sunday via Zoom. Our Church members and members of the public found it very beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. For example, members of the public would phone the local Pastor to report news of certain members of the public suffering from Covid 19, causing a lot of distress and Zoom calls and meetings were held to provide a source of comfort and hope. Many have said how much Christ Assemblies have been a source of comfort and peace during these difficult times.

• Baptisms, home visits and weddings were hugely affected due to COVID 19 pandemic.

• As well as offering Church services, teachings and preaching of the gospel, we enabled our members to celebrate life’s milestones, such as birthdays

• Supported the set-up of a sister branch in Africa, Zambia.
