The Church may also advance education and carry out other charitable purposes in the United Kingdom and/or other parts of the world. March **2012** **TAR** 2 In order to achieve our purpose, and with regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit, the Trustees report the following activities that have been undertaken in the reporting period: - Weekly church services run, online only (via Zoom) for much of the year due to Covid restrictions, typical attendance of 35. - Multiple regular Bible study groups - Contributed to the running of a local Foodbank Other activities took place until mid-March, but were then suspended due to Covid. These included: **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** - Weekly (term time) parent and toddler group, catering to up to 40 children. - Monthly “Messy Church” service reaching out to families not normally at church. - Fortnightly ‘Lunch Club’ providing a hot meal for typically 30+ people, with a short Christian talk afterwards. - Fortnightly craft club: - Fortnightly dressmaking club. - Regular “Alpha” courses run with a number of people coming to faith in Jesus as a result. - Christians Against Poverty “life skills” course. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** As with many organisations, our activities have been significantly impacted by the restrictions necessitated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite this, our services and some Bible studies have continued via Zoom, and as and when rules and guidance allowed, limited events took place in church. This included ‘hybrid’ services with a small number of (non-singing) members present in the building, and most people online. You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. We have made efforts – within the limitations GDPR places on the use of personal data – to keep in contact with both our regular worshippers, and those who attend our midweek events. This enabled us to offer some form of pastoral support. We also delivered Christmas ‘goodie-bags’ to the families with whom we work via our midweek events, and who gave their consent for this. Trustee meetings have continued with the same frequency as before th pandemic, but have taken place via Zoom. March **2012** **TAR** 3 Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** The ability to continue meeting in worship, online and (when possible) via a hybrid set up has been a significant and key event during this unusual year. Not only has it allowed those who want to, to join in worship, but it has also enabled those who would not normally be able to join (e.g. those in residential care) to be able to worship with us. It is expected that we will continue this provision in some form even after all pandemic-related restrictions are allieviated. Beyond this, due to Covid this has been largely a year of holding station as best as we can. The Trustees are, however, using this as an active opportunity to review our portfolio of services and activities, to decide on the shape of our ministry (i.e. charitable activities) post-pandemic. March **2012** **TAR** 4 ## **Section E Financial review** As standard we hold 3 months full running cost in reserves. **Brief statement of the** At present we are considering ministry options since our minister moved **charity’s policy on reserves** on during 2019; although this has been put on hold during this pandemicstruck year. We anticipate appointing a worker or minister (part time, most likely) in the near future. This will likely require us to run at a loss, therefore we are seeking to increase our reserves to £40k-50k to enable us to run a deficit budget for 3 years. **Details of any funds materially** None **in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Section F Other optional information** During the Covid crisis it was not possible to hold our normal cycle of Church Members’ Meetings. Our 2020 AGM took place a few weeks before the lockdown began and was carried out as normal. During 2020 we also organised a ‘hybrid’ church meeting (with limited numbers in church and the rest on Zoom) during the period of lighter restrictions, and a Zoom-only meeting during lockdown. ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** ## **Signature(s)** Philip Andrew Evans **Full name(s)** Joanne Mary Bodsworth **Position (eg Secretary, Chair,** Secretary Treasurer **etc) Date** 06/05/2021 March **2012** **TAR** 5 TAR March 2012 **Charity Name** **CC16a** **No (if any)** ## **Receipts and payments accounts** **For the period** Period start date Period end date **To from** 01/01/2020 31/12/2020 ## **Section A Receipts and payments** |**Unrestricted**
