Locall
The Church continves to support the local community. parliculady schools in financial and
practical ways. Holiday clubs were organised twice in the year in a local school during term
breaks. The Pastor has lead assemblies and helps with RE lessons when needed.
Support is given to a locol charity that visits schools lo aid them in the teaching of
Christianity and the exploration of social and personal matters.

Monthly Communion collections are taken lo support other charities, nationolly,
internationally and local who seek lo support vulnerable people with practical and
spiritual aid. We continue to support, both financially and in prayer. three workers in
Nigeria, Uganda and Romania. all of which. occasionally. make visits to Ihe church.
Members of the Church altend various national, locol conferences and celebration days.

Finance
In accordance with Christian principles, we do not seek to store up treasure on earth.
However, in order to be prudent. we follow a guideline of holding a bank balance at least
sufficient to cover three monlhs average expenditure. Amounts exceeding this are held in
a deposit account to goin interest.
The charity's income is mainly from volunfory gifts from Church members and supporters. No
fund-raising activilies or trading have been undertaken. hence no costs of generating
voluntary receipts or fundraising Irading are reported in the financial statements.
The charity owns a property. 92 High Slreet once home of the Pastor. The church applied
and now has change of use. Building plans have been drawn to convert into it into a
Community Centre. The building is already being used by a local SEND school as a safe
space.

poor. needy and oppressed.
The charity's expenditure is directed solely lo the objectives stated above.
