Our main Sunday services take place in person, but we continue to livestream services to allow access to those who are unable to attend in person. All other groups meet in person. No 63 Main Street continued to be used for Food Bank and Form Filling, Bereavement Help Drop In, as well as for Youth meeting and Kids Church. As well as No 63 the trustees agreed to rent the former Ladbrokes Bookmakers which is next door – No 1 Ferry Street and we were fortunate to obtain a grant from Children in Need to get this up and running by purchasing furniture, kit out the kitchen, etc. We owe a lot to our amazing volunteers and caretaker for getting the premises in very good condition ready to be used for the community and church events. During the year we used No 1 for Warm Welcome Spaces including Heat & Eat where people are able to come and get warm and eat for free. Foodbank eventually transferred from No 63 to No 1 as did the Bereavement Help Drop In. Teapots started during the year, and this is a nice space for adults to come and enjoy a free afternoon tea and it is hugely popular in the community and busy every week. It also provides a warm space during the winter. We also have Burton Youth For Christ hosting (with some of our Summary of the main volunteers) a Youth Drop In every week. activities undertaken for the Just up the road from our main Church Building a new housing estate public benefit in relation to has been built and we took great pleasure in putting together welcome these objects (include within boxes to welcome people to their new homes. this section the statutory Little Blessings (toddler group) and Shorties (baby group) continue to declaration that trustees have meet weekly during term time and provide wonderful spaces for parents had regard to the guidance and carers to come with their children. Numbers were restricted after lock issued by the Charity down for Little Blessings, but eventually the restrictions were lifted. Commission on public Our group for over 60’s (Connect) started meeting again on a monthly benefit) basis. The trustees employed a part time Community Development Manager to take over some of the day to day running of No 1 & No 63 and this proved to be a great decision as the new employee jumped into the job with great enthusiasm. We continue to run the Christians Against Poverty Debt Centre and this remains extremely busy and once again we were able to bless the clients with hampers for the Christmas period. We had the opening of No 1 on the Queens Jubilee weekend which was open to the community to come in and see what the Church had done renovating the old bookmakers. Together with Burton Youth For Christ we ran Childrens and Youth activities from No 1 during the summer. One of our senior leaders also held a few Men’s Discipleship Groups to enable the men of the church to gather and share together. We also held a course, Exploring Communication, for any members of the church who wished to attend. Alpha continues to be popular and two courses were run through the year. Once again we were able to host the Pioneer Churches Midlands Core event, which we were delighted to do.

Section D Achievements and erformance p
Summary of the main We were open to the public for our Sunday Services, weekly food bank, achievements of the charity weekly Bereavement Help Drop In, which became Cuppa and a Chat. during the year One of our members opened up Teapots, which provides a free afternoon tea in a lovely environment at No 1 Ferry Street and this has been extremely popular with people from the community. Heat & Eat remained popular even after the winter was over and changed its name to Meet & Eat. We welcome several men asylum seekers and it was amazing to see how members of the church got alongside them, helping them to learn English, providing them with space to make the occasional meal. They were a pleasure to have in our church community. Kids Church now meets at No 1 Ferry Street and the children love the extra space they have; the team does a brilliant job as does the Youth team who have meetings weekly for our young people. CAP is helping people in debt, and we now have regular clients from the local addiction centre - it is great to be able to help people out of their debt problems. We have started to work with Acts 435 to help clients out particularly with Debt Relief Orders, they are a grant making charity. Our community projects have seen an increase of 212% in visitors from the local Community since the end of lockdown. As awareness and trust continues to be built, we have been approached to offer support to overstretched services within the NHS. We are now working alongside Burton Albion Community Trust, to meet demands of people requiring help with form filling. Two local GP’s surgeries and pharmacies are now advertising The Community Church Projects on their information boards. Social Prescribers attend events with their clients almost on a weekly basis. These are mainly people who suffer from anxiety/depression and isolation. The local care home is now bringing residents weekly to Cuppa & Chat and the Teapots afternoon group. Once again, the Youth went away to a summer camp, Limitless, and they had a great time together. Our youth leaders put a lot of work into planning this to make it the best experience for the youth attending.
