The Church provides a public worship service every Sunday which includes praise and worship, prayer, testimony, the preaching of God’s Word and opportunity for ministry. A junior church is available for young persons during the Sunday worship. During lockdown until July 2021, the Church continued to meet for Sunday worship, weekly prayer and fellowship meetings using Zoom. This extended our attendance from Bristol, Lancashire, Hertfordshire and Tripoli. Weekly prayer and fellowship meetings continued with Zoom but the bimonthly Men’s Breakfasts at the Red Lion had to be cancelled. Open the Book sessions did not recommence in Cameley and Bishop Sutton Schools after lockdown because of the risk of covid to the team **Summary of the main** but 4 Bible stories were recorded and made available to the schools via **activities undertaken for the** YouTube and Facebook. There were around 40 hits for each story on **public benefit in relation to** YouTube and around 40 hits for each story on Facebook. **these objects (include within this section the statutory** Sunday worship recommenced in July 2021 with high efficiency air filters **declaration that trustees have** installed to remove and kill any airborne bacteria or viruses circulating in **had regard to the guidance** the air; a register of attendees was also maintained along with a supply of **issued by the Charity** face masks and hand sanitizer in compliance with government guidelines **Commission on public** for places of worship. A digital sound desk was also installed with **benefit)** microphones to enable the on-line congregation to participate fully in the meetings; as such, the Church has become a “Hybrid Church”. The Church operates a web site which makes available the preaching via the internet and our Facebook page posts articles and videos to promote the Christian faith. The Church issued vouchers for emergency supplies of food for people in need in the Chew Valley as part of the Keynsham Food Bank. The Church also supported local, national and overseas missionary activity as well as emergency relief. Details of our activities are publicised on our web site and facebook page. The trustees have regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and are satisfied that these criteria are met.

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about:
- the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);
- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
- investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.
Our principal source of income is from freewill offerings from the congregation.
We do not engage in fundraising.
- Over 2021 our expenditure as a percentage of income was: Ministry 11%, Church life and admin 27%, Hire of premises 6% and Mission 37%; 19% of our income was held in reserve. Our expenditure is therefore broken down to:
- Ministry 14%;
- • Church life and admin 33%; • Hire of premises 7%; and
- • Mission 46%.
We consider this expenditure was appropriate in meeting our objectives and loving our neighbour as ourselves.
We do not have an investment policy but should we accrue funds above £10,000, we would seek to invest these ethically.
