Objectives and activities

To advance the Christian religion in accordance with the statement of Summary of the objects of the belief (Appendix A of our Governing Document) for the benefit of the charity set out in its public primarily, but not exclusively, in Birmingham, including, but not governing document exclusively, proclamation of the gospel, the building of community, the relief of those in need, and any such other charitable purposes as the Trustees in their absolute discretion think fit. The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular its supplementary public guidance on the Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit. Redeemer Church Birmingham provides this through a wide range of activities in accordance with its charitable aims. The trustees consider that these activities provide benefit to those who are part of the church and to the wider public. =se ache, for the Withlike no Covid other hitting we have and experienced lockdowns implemented,before. However, the past we have year has been been able public benefit in relation to to adapt to this and love & serve our community in a number of needed these objects (include within AGE Gree WAYS. this section the statutory , é declaration that trustees have een ‘ ; , had regard to the guidance e were able to move our central Sunday meeting online.

Community Prayer, Alpha and Coffee Morning went online as well, so all the churches normal meetings carried on providing a range of access points and types of interaction and support. Whatsapps groups were also started for most of these groups, giving another means of communication and support. During the first lockdown the church ran a weekly Kids online group for pre-schoolers, and throughout have done a number of kids events such as online escape rooms, bingo events and a Light Party. Youth has also TAR 2 March 2012

ran online.

The church also did several online evenings specifically for woman, and a session for Parents, as-well as a Family Quiz and Family Fun event (which possibly was my highlight of the whole year!) as part of our wider Catalyst Festival @ Home. We also moved our Fitness 4 All Online during the second lockdown.

During this Online period, we were also able to provide much needed tablets to families and individuals so they could access groups, support and home schooling. We have also sort to keep in contact with people via phone calls.

In-Person Provision In-Person we have been able to provide and get involved with many services. During the first lockdown the church did numerous food pick up and drop offs and also some med pick up and drop offs, working alongside local organisations. We have both been able to refer to these organisations and they have referred people to us. Through the church’s enablement fund, we were able to provide much needed home items to different families and individuals, uniform vouchers and also family packs to local families over the summer holidays.

When restrictions have allowed, we have come up with creative ways to keep people connected and active. The church stated an outside weekly Run Club and Fitness All group, which as rules lessen, we were able to do inside for a period (until rules tighten again and it moved online for a period). The church managed one In-Person socially distanced Sunday in October and an outside socially distanced Carols Service in December, where we got soaked (but will go down in Red history, and challenges The Online Family Fun event for my favourite moment of the year!). All this helped keep moral up.

We have also, been able to provide wellbeing walks for individuals, meet ups with groups of six in gardens, and a couple of inside socially distanced wellbeing support groups. We got fully on board with the local celebrations of the jubilee weekend encouraging people to enjoy this event safely in their front garden or porch, whilst connecting through online resources. As restrictions have allowed, the church has run our Coffee Morning - socially distanced. This has been a great relief and support to people. Running alongside Coffee morning, one of our big successes of the year has been Mobile Coffee Morning. This has allowed us to support people we know of as well as to connect with and support new people in the community. This not only provided a friendly face and socially distanced chat, but also allowed us to provide specific support ourselves or signpost people to different services, such as: -clothes bank (swap shop turned delivery) -enablement fund -gas & electric vouchers -garden clearance for over 50’s -grants for family or employment support

Organic Support

Alongside the organised events and services, which the church has run and provided, has been the organic life & support of the church. individual members have been taught, encouraged and equipped to love, bless & serve their neighbour (the people around them) in their unique setting, making the most of where God has placed them during this difficult time we have found ourselves in. This is the main way the church 3 March 2012

reaches out to, and supports people.

It really has been a tough year, but the church has pulled together to support each other and also the wider community in many wonderful ways.
