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 all 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 our Bible study groups.
The weekly Community Hub has resumed, offering in addition a warm space (over the cold months) for those vulnerable and supported many in the community. Activities such as the dressmaking and craft clubs have also fully resumed.
We continued to consider 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 led us to join the LBC network as detailed above and have intensified our search for a permanent pastor/minister. The LBC links have included supporting a church plant in Pakistan.

This means reserves of £50-80k, depending on the type of post sought. **Details of any funds materially** None **in deficit**
