There are weekly Youth and Children's clubs. clubs for carers of the very young and the elderly and those needing counselling support from within the wider community. The Church's youth and children's workerwith Church members voluntarily assist in teams regularly providing activities in both junior and secondary schools locally as well as hosting, with other Church Staff, visits from local schools to the church building as part of their curriculum requirements, Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benef it in relation to these objects Ilnclude within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benef it) Also away from the church premises, the wider range of Church- supported activities in the community include the town's Food Bank, Job Club and the usual public holiday festivities including working alongside other local churches and other local charitable organisations.

Section D Achievements and performance This year the physical interaGlion of the church has been restored wilh the ending of Covid -19 restrictions. It took the church several months to completely relax the restrictions in place over the pandemi¢. As we end the year. we observe no restnctions for our gathering as a community or for midweek groups. However. we recognise that some still wish to wear face masks and some still like a bit of space around them. Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year In returning to public worship, we have thought of holding outdoor services and so this year we trialled one in May. The response was positive both from the church and the public, We thereforè are considering offering two or three if permitted in 2023. It is fitting to begin our report by acknowledging that the church sought to provide t0 very different supports for the community in regard to the Queen. We celebrated her platinum jubilee through being part of a joint lown service, providing a commemorative book for every child of primary school age and offering a street party. We also took lime lo open the church on the news of the death of HR Queen Elizabeth the Second. The church also offered opportunities lo respond to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in late Feb 2022. We have done this through opportunities to gather and pray in the church, opportunities to meet outside in the Well head park lo pray with other churches. For the wider community we provided opportunities for them to offer their support for Ukraine through the provision of collections for various things needed. These were then distributed to collection cenlred to then be sent out lo those in need. Within the year the church picked up thè planned Sabbatical of the Senior Pastor, which saw him step back from the day to day work the role carries. In his absenGe the wider leadership involving the trustees, elders and deacons and remaining staff members conlinued to18ad the church. The desire was lo ensure that the church didn't just tread water for 3 months whilst in this period. To the credit of the chur¢h a number of achievements were seen. We had the successful running of an in-person Alpha course which saw a small number attend and discover trulhs about thè Christian faith and some, from their own personal choice making a commitment to accept Jesus into thèir lives. We also saw the 6-week trial of a children's group for infant school children which saw 13 children regularly attend. This group is held in a Community space on a local housing estate and is run by a team from Bourne Baptist Church, the outcome of this is that the group continued in the September and is now a regular part of our weekly ministries. The regular programme of 'opening the church doors, for others to attend weekly has been steadily implemented with some pre- Covid activit18s re- emerging in new formats. Mums and Toddlers and Who let the Dad's Out groups have begun again. Our toddler group has created new relationships with members of the community some ofwhom connecled from the new work on the housing estate. The work with Who Let the Dad's Out has restarted but we are looking at bringing in new members to build on those who continue to attend. Also- th8 chur¢h has been open for a number of evenings for quiet prayer I reftection which has been supported by prompts and other materials lo aid spiritual focus. TAR March 2012
Section D Achievements and performance The church has continued to offer support lo those 9roups In town operating as part of the wider church and so we have continued to help with the Food Bank and Healing Rooms. With the return of the senior pastor in Sept from sabbatical the recognised concern for those who are being impacted by the rise in cost of living, the senior pastor spoke to the other church leaders in the town and the local council, The outcome of this and from further discussions a Warm Hub initiative was implimented. The aim is to offer people a warm space to come and spend time in and will run from Nov 2022 to March 2023, thus allowing the community not to use their own funds to heal their own homes if they wished. With face-to-face contact being permitted on¢e more the Pastoral Care team has sought to offer support to those individuals who approached the Church for various personal and social needs including transport to medical appointments, shopping, financial support through our Hardship Fund and access to our Gounselling service. The church has continued to reach out to the local schools through the efforts of our youth worker and senior minister offering assemblies for the schools. The church has also offered support to several local schools by sending gifts to encourag8 those staff working within them. This work has been developed further by donating Christmas hampers to those working in the care homes based in Bourne. The response from thosè receiving these gifts has been one of gratitude and appreciation. In regard to the work in th8 wider community we obviously, as shared before, were involved in the Platinum Jubilee, Warm Hub, bul we again have got involved in towns Christmas Light turn on with a stall offering hance to colour in a carol. The church's Youth and Children's worker, supported by volunteering church m8mbers this year provided activities in our local Primary and Secondary schools. In addition, pupils and students came to visit the church building, where church slaff and volunteers provided educational input to meet the requests from schools with regard to their curriculum rèquirements. As already identified a lot of our work with th8 children and young people aged 7-18 was moved back lo being physical meetings which has been well received by those in this age bracket. It was also the first opportunity in two years for our young people to attend a large youth event and so small group managed by a team of 4 adults went. The event selected was called Satellites and was based at Peterborough show ground. The feedback from the young people was that they had a great time and really benefitted from the experience with again a number of them making a personal decision to follow Jesus for themselves. Alongside this venture the church once again hosted a live Children's holiday club. It was tilled GIFT (God's International Fixit Team) and we saw 50 children attend the 3 mornings of activity. where we offered singing, games, craft, stories, and lots of fun. Heartfelt appreciation goes lo our youth worker and her team who have done a wonderful work with Our weekly groups this year. We have needed to ask for support from the wider church as the groups are only viable when we have Ihe help lo do so. This is due to some of the helpers needing to step down due lo a change in circumstances, TAR Mar¢h 2012
Section D Achievements and performance The commitment ol Church members has been fantastic and has provided a great part af the voluntary service that keeps the spiritual and social I community work of the Church flourishing. The members and wider congregation of the church have provided sufficient income for the continued employment of 2 full-lime and 2 part-time members of staff as well as covering all other church expenses. On a practical note, the church has had works carried out to sort out areas of plaster that needed taking down and replacing, which then in turn has meant re decoration has been needed. The outcome is that through this we have a building that is in good condition, alongside this work we have also seen two smaller rooms revamped which again offer those who use the spaces a belter environment lo be in. The transformation of these smaller spaces has been down to the dedication and hard work of a small group of workers to whom we are very grateful. Due to the dedication of church members, we have seen 'The Bridge, continue over this past year. The intention of Ihis initiative is to provide bridge between the church and the wider community on a Sunday morning with the hope that people will stop, have a coffee and talk to the people hosting. Our desire is that relationships are formed and potentially people will consider the church as a place lo come and not be fearful of. Currently the leam are happy with how things have gone, in that over the past year a number of relationships have developed and some ofwhom have made strides in feeling more comfortable with what church might be all about. They look to 2023 with interest but do hope for an increase in those willing to help man this iniliative. In terms of membership, we have seen a number ofthose who were in membership resign their membership. but we also have seen some request membership, so our voting membership remains steady and in the region of seventy- five, Regarding the leadership of the church, we have seen Chris Moss elected as our new Secretary and therefore a Trustee, alongside this appointment Roland Smith Ihough standing down as Secretary was re elected as a trustee, Bryan Cox was re-elected as a deacon and also trustee, with Richard Wright being elected as fabric deacon and also trustee. We have had two leadership days, both being in person and have been very good and well received by all who have attènded. The second of which enabled the trustees and wider leadership to talk over responses from the wider church with regard lo the proposal to expand our paid staff regarding youth and children work. From this day various tasks where identified which we hope on completson will move the process on considerably. Though Covid-19 is still a part of our lives we are thankful that, as church, we have continued to thrive. As a community offaith, we pray for God's comfort over all who have been impacted by this pandemic, yet we continue to hold onto the Hope offered through Christ and we look to 2023 and all that is before us.
