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, via a hybrid approach (i.e. in person and on Zoom) for most of the year. - Multiple regular Bible study groups - Contributed to the running of a local Foodbank. - Weekly (term time) parent and toddler group, catering to around 25 children. **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)** ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** 2021 continued to be a challenging year with the ongoing pandemic and related restrictions, as well as the impact on our volunteers, many of whom class as vulnerable. We made excellent use of technology, particularly Zoom, to enable as many people as possible to connect, and some of our volunteers have been particularly good at keeping in touch and supporting the attendees of cancelled groups. You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. March **2012** **TAR** 3 Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** With the gradual easing of restrictions, we have been able to resume various activities in person, while also maintain a Zoom offering for those not able to attend. This has included worship services, the resumption of our parent and toddler group, and all of our Bible study groups. Activities such as the dressmaking and craft clubs have taken place a little more sporadically. We have also during this year been considering in earnest the future of Earl Shilton Baptist Church, particularly with relation to what form of paid employee, minister or office holder is appropriate to our needs, charitable purpose, spiritual direction and financial viability. This remains an ongoing activity leading into 2022. March **2012** **TAR** 4 ## **Section E Financial review** As standard we hold 3 months full running cost in reserves. **Brief statement of the** As noted above we are actively considering ministry options: a process **charity’s policy on reserves** which has gained momentum with the easing of Covid restrictions. Our analysis shows that, barring some sizable change in income, any form of ministry will require an operating loss; we are therefore actively working to raise our reserves to the level required to guarantee an office holder or employee a 3 year contract. This means reserves of £50-80k, depending on the type of post sought. **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** ## **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)** March **2012** **TAR** 5 Date 3010312022 TAR March 2012 **Charity Name No (if any) Receipts and payments accounts CC16a For the period** Period start date Period end date **To from** 1/1/2021 12/31/2021 ## **Section A Receipts and payments** **----- Start of picture text -----**
