## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From 01/01/2021 To 31/12/2021** ## **Charity name: The Potters House Christian Fellowship UK Ipswich Church** ## **Charity registration number: 1184609** ## **Objectives and Activities** The Potter’s House is a Christian organisation dedicated to the service of God and sharing the love of Jesus with the community around us. Public meetings are held in person when permitted, or online according to government guidance on COVID restrictions. These meetings benefit the attendees in encouraging them in their Christian faith and providing invaluable social contact. COVID guidelines regarding social distancing, use of PPE and cleanliness are strictly followed. Sick members are visited in person when possible, or contacted by telephone otherwise to promote their wellbeing. ## **Achievements and Performance** Potters House Ipswich registered as a CIO 1184609 on 25 July 2019, previously operating as Registered Charity 1153363. The church observed COVID guidelines, closing at times during 2021 due to the Pastor having COVID twice. Risks were minimised by making face masks available to visitors, ensuring extra cleaning and ventilation and clearly displaying notices about COVID guidance. Attendance dropped during the year due to sickness and isolation restrictions. Sadly, a congregation member passed away during December. ## **Financial Review** Most of the donations during this period were received on line. The church was unable to put on events other than Sunday Services, resulting in reduced expenditure, but this was counteracted by spend on PPE. The church was able to give generously to overseas missionaries. Our congregation has continued to give faithfully during these uncertain times, leaving a healthy balance for future endeavours. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** The Potters House Ipswich is governed by the Constitution of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, dated 10 March 2019. A new trustee, Travis Long, has been appointed following the resignation of a previous trustee. He was invited to the position on account of his experience as Pastor of the Potters House, Harlow and his good character. ## **Reference and Administrative details** |Charity name|The Potters House Christian Fellowship UK Ipswich Church| |---|---| |Other name the charity uses|Potters House, Ipswich| |Registered charity number|1184609| |Charity’s principal address|The Meeting Place
