| 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 as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | Normal church services have been restored, as has our ministry to older people through services in our local care homes. We have also restarted Messy Church. Our Little Saints group is an extremely effective outreach to young families in the village. However, we have maintained certain aspects of our lockdown activity which proved successful. In particular, we now have a regular Sunday-evening Zoom service. We also keep in contact with members of the church family through a regular pastoral letter. We have made improvements to our church building and have installed a screen and projector. This new equipment enlivens normal worship and allows the building to be used for other purposes. We regularly make the church building available to the wider community, for such purposes as rehearsals, concerts and recordings. We have welcomed a new curate who has added immeasurably to our spiritual, and musical life. We have been pleased to see an increase in the number of young families attending church. We have been present in the wider community through pop-up services in other parts of the village. |
