(** Para 1.17 & 1.19) This report focuses on the main activities undertaken by the charity to further its charitable purposes for the public benefit. We are seeing a growth in the children’s ministry and the church has an established food ministry where a community breakfast is provided and a hot meal is provided for all who attend services, or want to pop in. Members of the community are encouraged to join us in services and a fellowship meal. We have also started, cooking classes led by Marjorie one our Trustees and also the main lead with the children on a weekly basis and are seeing parents coming to support their children and see a show case of their children’s work. The church has also enjoyed new members and a baptism during this year. Last August the church held its first Community Fun Day and fund-raising, event, which was well attended, guests included, the local Councillor Jane Spilsbury, Bishop Windsor Queensbury, Dr Derrick Campbell (Pastor), and Dr Colin Orr from Zion Church Wolverhampton local artist Otis Irie, children’s bouncy castle, food and drink, fund-raising. This year the church has seen growth In members, baptism’s, community events increase in online bible study audience and steps have been made to move the ministry to meeting its un-met objectives for the next financial year. The children have been the beneficiaries of the church growth, and the church has made targeted provisions to accommodate the growth. We actively visit members who are not able to come out to the building to encourage them and to eliminate isolation. We would like to thank Lavern, current Trustee for all the assistance and work that she has contributed. Lavern would like to take an informal role in assisting the charity due to health concerns. ## **Financial Reporting** Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £22,690.65, with total year expenses of £12,940.39. Donations have increased due to new members and a combination of visitors and fund-raising events. With the rise in cost-of-living, energy bills, insurance These have had an impact on the charities outgoings. The church acknowledges this and is seeking other means of fund-raising to meet its objectives within the community. To combat this, the church is now looking to build unrestricted funds to cover regular payment to ensure proper governance of its finance and to adhere to public benefit and best value in terms of procuring services etc. ## **Contribution by volunteers.** We would like to thank everyone/volunteers, who gave financially, their free time, their gifts and their skills and knowledge to keep this ministry and church running.
