January 2023

Helping those in need is a demonstration of our faith. We have a mission team that helps with supporting needs both locally and internationally. We have supported children in need in Africa, Caribbean, and other areas in need i.e., Ukraine. Supported projects such as Missionary Jesus course, Too Good To Go for those people who cannot afford to buy food due to the cost-of-living increase, Operation Forgiveness in schools, Homeless, Big Winter Sleep out and Wrap up to recycle old coats to keep others warm.

We had joint service with our Baptist neighbours in East Dulwich. We have Missionaries, Men’s, and Youth fellowship.

It was a great honour to recognise our Bishop and Evangelist who have worked tirelessly to support the community and our neighbours for over 50 years.

We continue to have baptismal service and engagement with others who do not attend our worship centre. We encourage our community to celebrate and give thanks to God throughout their life journey, for those who celebrated marriage anniversaries, weddings, christenings, and new birth. We support and mourn with those who have lost loved ones and continue to pray for them and their families.

We gather at church early to set up and for those who want to have private prayers.

We plan our activities for the whole year to enable everyone to get an opportunity to share and live out their faith in the way they wish to.

We have started a new month declaration and members have the opportunity to pen their thoughts on how positively they would like others to view the new month coming in. This has been an inspiration, encourage creativity and a positive encouragement for all.

We have spent a lot of time developing how we share our service using various communication mode, virtual, media and visual aids. We have a lot of feedback that the service is more engaging and easier to follow. We respect people’s time.

We have several planning and review meetings throughout the year, to ensure that our delivery is relevant and that we are impactful as a charity. We also ask for feedback to improve.

Section E Financial review

We do not have a reserve policy

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves

Details of any funds materially in deficit

N/A

Further financial review details (Optional information)

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 funding mainly comes from donations from our membership, and friends of TAAC (UK), giving their finances to support our objectives and the community.

We rely mainly on the goodwill of our volunteers and those wishing to improve the lives of people within our local communities.

Our church membership largely funds the charitable work that we do. Since the pandemic, our membership has been reduced largely due to long term sickness absence, impact of covid, other social challenges and economic hardship.

We have friends of TAAC (UK) who support our work with their time, attendance, and donations.

Section F Other optional information

We would like to thank our membership, the many dedicated volunteers, and friends of TAAC UK, who support us to achieve its mission. We could not have been so impactful without them and certainly would not have been able to function without their support.

Section G Declaration

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.
