Principal address

Objectives and activities
The objects of the Charity are to advance the Christian faith in accordance with Christian principles through worship, praise, prayer, discussion, pastoral care and other activities to promote spiritual growth and charitable works for the public benefit. The Charity operates mainly but not exclusively in the Kings Heath area of Birmingham, but may carry out its charitable purposes elsewhere in the UK and/or in other parts of the world.
Activities and income were unavoidably affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In accordance with Government guidelines, regular Sunday assembly had been suspended from the middle of March 2020. Continuing activities included the following:
-
Church services and meetings for worship, holy communion and Bible study, to encourage members and visitors to live by Christian principles. We could not meet in person for these activities but we made use of online facilities, mainly YouTube and Zoom.
-
A limited range of children’s activities was organised, also using online facilities.
-
Pastoral care for members and their families.
-
Collections for local, national and international charities.
Some activities were suspended, such as regular collections for a local food bank and occasional fundraising events. The intention is to resume these activities when conditions permit.
For a few months part of the building was made available for refugee support activities under appropriate social distancing restrictions.
A building project had been started in the previous year: this has involved the construction of an annex on the site, to replace a dilapidated building which had to be demolished. This continued although the pandemic affected the availability of some supplies, resulting in delays. The annex is intended to be used for the furtherance of the above activities, with particular emphasis at first on children’s activities.
The charity is entirely run by volunteers who organise the activities described above and may propose new activities in line with the objectives.
Achievements and performance
During the period April 2020 to March 2021 our active membership grew to 81. In response to the needs of a growing membership a new structure for pastoral care was implemented during the year.
During the early months of the pandemic our YouTube services regularly reached audiences in the hundreds, consistent with the objective of promoting spiritual growth.
Payments were made to a number of charitable causes.
The building project was close to completion by the end of March 2021.
Financial review
The cash movements and balances are summarised in the balance sheet. All funds are held in instant access bank accounts. The trustees were satisfied at the year end that the funds held were sufficient to meet the continuing needs of the charity. The accounts show that some funds have been transferred from registered charity 1177040, and the trustees intend to do likewise for the balance of the funds held by the latter.
