Support outside the UL'_
We do not support charitable organisations outside the Unit¢d Kingdom due to our current size, however we do
support a Church in Jamaica have made donations to various appea15 or disasters.
We continue to build on our contacts with various community groups such as the Aylesbury interfaith group
where we look at matters facing the community. This might include the stop and search policy p￿tiCed by the
police in the town and whether it is fairty applied across all communities.
The plan for the future is to make the church a more professional organisation: an organisation that is not only
attractive to Christians but will be welcoming and relevant to the wider Community. To this end. we have engaged
with various or8anisations such as Social Change UK to explore healthy eatin& being activ4 plus ac￿SsIng local
support in Buckinghamshire.
We arn in the process of tyin8 to double our current space. the first phase of the plan started in July 2020 e.g.
building a two bed flat at the back of the Churc￿ this h&8 provided Inc￿Sed revenue in a time where the
pandemic has resulted in voluntsry organisations experiencing a fall in their incomes.
Parllf4menla
We are helping the APPG promote how faith base organisations Can play a part in tsckling loneliness by
organising community events such as coffee Mornin￿ luncheon clubs. or by visiting the cId￿lY in their homes
etc.
We are also working with Faith ￿tion to raise awareness of how faith base wups can support people living with
dementi￿ if you would like to volunteer or help with any of the pather's we work with please contact us.
