Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society.		 Para 1.20 The trustees recognise that these are
difficult to measure but believe that

the church and its members.
People professed faith in Jesus Christ for
the first time during the year and some
reaffirmed their faith in Christ.
Many people have been inspired through
our activities, thereby making positive
impact and contribution to the community
we are part of.
The average attendance at our worship
services, conferences, workshops, and
seminar has increased during the year as
well.
This is a sign that our charity has made a
huge impact in the lives of people in our
community bringing in so many hopes at
these unprecedented times by making sure
the hungry are fed all week alongside
counselling and any other kind of help at
our disposal.
