**Farnworth Baptist Church Impact Report 2023 - 2024** **Charity Number 1185143** **3. Diane’s Story** Diane Carton, a lifelong resident of Farnworth, faced a challenging period in her life due to past trauma that resulted in severe panic attacks, rendering her unable to work. This led to a significant dip in her self-esteem and left her feeling lost, as she had never been unemployed before. Seeking help, Diane was directed to The Well, that offered her a peaceful and welcoming environment. There, she met Sandra and Dilly, who introduced her to Wellbeing Bingo, a tool that helped her track daily activities and progress. Diane found solace and support in the activities and groups at The Well, which included crafting, reading, and chatting with new friends. Her involvement at The Well grew as she began volunteering with the Wellbeing Group and helping out at the food bank. This eventually led her to the Job Club, where she was invited to become a Job Coach. Through these experiences, Diane regained her confidence and found a new perspective on life, realising she could pursue her passions and contribute positively to her community. Her journey has transformed her outlook, and she has since found a new career and is loving her new job. Diane encourages others who feel at their wits end, lacking in confidence and don’t know who to trust to seek out help at The Well. ## It's just a completely change my outlook on life. I’ve got those grey clouds to go away and I just see a happy future, which is brilliant **Farnworth Baptist Church Impact Report 2023 - 2024** **Charity Number 1185143** ## **4. Job Club** **Looking for work can be soul destroying. Many companies don’t reply unless you are offered an interview and few provide any form of feedback to unsuccessful applicants.** **People often find it difficult to identify their skills and to write CVS and applications that stand out from the crowd** Working in partnership with Christians Against Poverty, our CAP Job Club assists individuals in their job search journey. This includes support with CV building, interview skills, job searching, and skills development. We ran three CAP Job Clubs and have developed some key partnerships with the Job Centre, Ingeus and National Careers service to help with our success. ## **Employability Support** Our Employability Advisor, Sandra, has supported many individuals with job searches, helping write CVs and with job applications. With her help, we have seen people find employment in a variety of occupations including warehousing, retail, administration and banking. **Job club is something that has positively impacted my life in several ways, one of the most important skills it gave me was the knowledge of how to succeed in interviews.** **Job Club gave me a confidence in myself that I never had before, and the knowledge I learnt that day helped me land a fulltime job position and cannot be more thankful for Sandra as she had a direct hand to play in this.** **168 people helped** **Farnworth Baptist Church Impact Report 2023 - 2024** **Charity Number 1185143** ## **5. The Well Café** ## **More Than a Café** **The Well Café is the beating heart of our building, offering a warm, cosy and friendly welcome. It operates as a social enterprise providing employment to local people, volunteering to help people gain skills for employment and any surplus income going to support our wider work.** **We offer high-quality home-cooked food, home-made cakes and premium fair trade coffee at reasonable prices.** Over the past year, we’ve seen a significant increase in footfall, with many loyal customers returning and bringing along their friends and families. Our efforts have paid off with a remarkable 37.9% increase in sales, growing from £37,192 in 2022/23 to £51,334 in 2023/24. This success reflects not only the dedication of our team but also the support of our customers. Volunteers play a vital role in the smooth running of The Well Café, helping us deliver the best possible customer service. This year, we were thrilled to see four of our volunteers gain the confidence and experience to move on to employment opportunities. Their success highlights the café’s role as a space for both personal and professional growth. Under the guidance of Café Supervisor Karen, the team consistently delivered delicious daily specials. We also celebrated diversity through special cuisine days, featuring dishes from Iranian, Italian, and Pakistani traditions, alongside a traditional British Christmas roast dinner in December. What a hidden gem this little cafe is. A warm welcome from the team and the most delicious food. **The Well Café saw a 37.9% increase in sales** **Farnworth Baptist Church Impact Report 2023 - 2024** **Charity Number 1185143** ## **6. Wellbeing** At Farnworth Baptist Church, we genuinely care about every aspect of people’s lives — mind, body, and spirit. Wellbeing is therefore at the heart of everything we do, and we have increased the different ways in which we support anyone coming to our building. ## **1-2-1 Wellbeing Support** ## **Monthly Wellbeing** ## **Renew Well** ## **Events** Our Thursday afternoon Renew Well drop-in sessions continue to be a vital resource for the local community. These sessions provide a welcoming space for those who may feel lonely, isolated, or struggling with their mental health. Attendees can enjoy a brew, play board games, take part in craft activities, or simply have a chat. Our Wellbeing Coordinator, Dilly, has successfully supported 102 individuals through dedicated one-toone appointments. Helping them create personalised wellbeing plans and connecting them with additional support services. Our monthly wellbeing events have seen an increase in attendees. We’ve tried to maintain a variety of themes and activities including; Picnic & Walk, Jigsaw Hour, Farnworth’s Got Talent and our well loved Summer BBQ. **----- Start of picture text -----**

## **Peer Group Support** With funding from The People’s Health Trust, we have continued our Peer Support Groups for people with long-term health issues or disabilities and their care givers. We now run two groups (for specific ages) each week where people meet up, share their stories and help each other. Every Wednesday lunchtime we host a local community walking group. We meet together at The Well and venture for a gentle walk before returning for a hot drink and chat. We have seen friendships formed and individuals boost their confidence and self esteem. Over the past year, we’ve had 161 individuals engage with and benefit from these sessions—a testament to the importance of providing a space where “it’s ok not to be ok.” I was referred to the Wellbeing 1-2-1 session after losing my granddad, feeling alone and isolated. I gained hope and a sense of connection. I appreciated the support and felt I was in a safe place. **Farnworth Baptist Church Impact Report-2023 - 2024** **Charity Number 1185143** **7. Liz’s Story** Liz, a 46-year-old woman from Blackrod, has faced significant challenges due to multiple medical conditions, including gastroparesis, spinal issues, and diabetic neuropathy, which necessitate her use of a wheelchair and tube feeding. Despite these difficulties, Liz found hope and support through a peer support group focused on disability and health issues like PIP forms. The group, which also offers welfare rights and benefits advice, has been instrumental in helping Liz with her PIP application, as her mobility has drastically declined from being a long-distance runner to needing a wheelchair for any distance beyond 20 meters. The support group not only provides practical assistance but also emotional support, helping Liz combat feelings of isolation as she works from home. Additionally, discussions on employability at The Well have offered her valuable guidance. Through this community, Liz has made friends and received the emotional support she needed, greatly impacting her life positively. It's actually getting me out of the house. I work from home and I actually feel quite isolated because I wasn't really getting out. I've made friends as well with people, which has really helped. **Farnworth Baptist Church Impact Report 2023 - 2024** **Charity Number 1185143** ## **8. English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)** **People who don’t speak English well can often feel isolated and alone. Our ESOL classes are designed to help with spoken English using everyday situations to generate conversation. Participants make friends with others from a wide range of backgrounds that they would not normally interact with supporting community cohesion.** Our two weekly ESOL classes continue to be well attended, with 16–20 participants each session. Many have also benefited from additional support through our welfare and benefits advisors, employability advice and wellbeing sessions. Participants come from a wide range of countries, including Afghanistan, Pakistan, El Salvador, Sri Lanka, Thailand, India, Romania, and Ukraine. The classes cater to all levels, with teacher Carla encouraging advanced learners to assist those less confident, fostering conversational skills for all. The impact is clear—many attendees have moved on to employment, demonstrating the success of the program. **455 people helped** I came over to England from Ukraine. I started attending the classes with Carla and my English improved each week. I started Bolton College and volunteered in the cafe for a while but I have now found work. **Farnworth Baptist Church Impact Report 2023 - 2024** **Charity Number 1185143** ## **9. Growing Church** As a Christian church, we hold the conviction that the blessings we receive should be shared with our community. By exhibiting genuine love for our neighbours and our town, we aspire to act as catalysts for societal transformation. All our activities are guided by our vision and values. This year, we had the privilege of baptising six people, including two from Oroma Evangelical Church. This amazing celebration was attended by over 120 people. We live stream our gatherings for those unable to attend due to health or work. Our online celebrations regularly attract 40 to 50 viewers. Over the past year, we have observed a consistent month-on-month increase in attendance at our Sunday celebrations, with numbers rising from an average of 60 people per week to 76. Our church family proudly represents over 25 nations. Additionally, we are honoured to continue hosting the Oroma Evangelical Church on Sunday afternoons, thereby supporting the growing Ethiopian diaspora community. In recognition of our diverse multicultural congregation, we organised an International Celebration Day, which was attended by over 125 individuals. The event featured a communal celebration followed by the sharing of various foods from around the world. We welcomed 86 first time guests to our celebrations in the year, an increase of 20%. The majority had found out about us via Google having moved into the area and were attracted by the activities on our website. The other significant area of growth was from those who have benefited from our weekday activities and had then visited on a Sunday. **----- Start of picture text -----**

**Farnworth Baptist Church Impact Report 2023 - 2024** **Charity Number 1185143** ## **10. Nurturing our People** We believe that our people are our most valuable resource, and therefore we take the ongoing development and nurture of our people very seriously. Having been successfully reaccredited with Investors in People Silver in September 2023 we have continued to target improvements. This report demonstrates the ongoing development of our staff and volunteers and its impact. Our vision is to equip everyone in our church community to make a real difference in whatever sphere of life they are part of. To this end our teaching programme on a Sunday aims to equip people for their Monday to Saturday, whether that be their workplace, place of education, or their neighbourhood. Our target is that 75% of our adult congregation will also attend midweek small groups to develop their faith and build strong relationships within the body of the church. This year we have reorganised our small group programme increasing the number of groups from five to seven. We have continued to host one Zoom small group for those who do not want to go out in the evening, or who live a distance from the church. This has seen an increase in attendance and stronger links with our midweek activities. 57 people have attended these groups in the year which represents 75% of our regular congregation and is an increase of 30% on the previous year. ## **Midweek Small Groups** **Attendance at small groups has grown by 30%** **75% of adult congregation engaing with small groups** Our Toddler Church continues to help the development of children towards school readiness. The group includes songs, story and play.Numbers are lower than in previous years as more children take up free nursery provision. Our Book Club continues to grow and develop. Our youth group is growing steadily. Our Activate discipleship programme has continued with five people regularly attending. **----- Start of picture text -----**

**Charity Number 1185143** ## **11. Jeremiah Education Centre** Every child has a right to a good education.However, owing to childhood trauma or additional needs the most vulnerable children are often at risk of exclusion. Mainstream schools sometimes struggle to adapt the curriculum and teaching style to the individual need. As part of Acorn Alternative Provision, the Jeremiah Education Centre continues to support young people aged 11-16 who face challenges in mainstream education. Our mission is to help each student build a secure identity and a positive future. - This year, we provided a range of enriching experiences: Smithills Hall Farm Trip - Solar Panel Farm Visit - Partner Church Visits Guest Speakers & Workshops Our small, family-like setting, with high staff-to-student ratios and 1:1 mentoring, ensures personalised support. We collaborate with schools, parents, and stakeholders to set goals and track progress. Focusing on English, maths, and personal development, we offer Functional Skills qualifications to prepare students for vocational pathways. We aim to close academic gaps, re-engage students in learning, and support smooth transitions into mainstream education or further training. Committed to fostering independence, social engagement, and emotional resilience, we continue to rebuild foundations and restore hope in a nurturing environment. **----- Start of picture text -----**

**Farnworth Baptist Church Impact Report 2023 - 2024** **Charity Number 1185143** ## **12. Eden Farnworth** The poorest areas of towns and cities do not always benefit from periods of economic growth in their wider regions. In some important ways, they can remain disconnected from the prosperity experienced by residents of wealthier neighbourhoods. The area around Campbell Street and Flowers Estate is in the 10% of most deprived areas in England We partner with The Message Trust to share the good news of Jesus with residents in and around the Flower Estate in Farnworth in practical ways as well as by our words. We get involved in a wide range of activities including litter picking, community events and building relationships all with an aim to help build a good sense of community and see the area transformed for the good. **This land that was laid waste has become like the garden of Eden; the cities that were lying in ruins, desolate and destroyed, are now fortified and inhabited Ezekiel 36:35** **----- Start of picture text -----**
Summer Holiday Activities
**----- End of picture text -----**
Over the summer, with generous funding from Farnworth North Councillors Grow the Good Work Fund, the Eden Team was able to organise a variety of engaging activities for the children in the community. These included exciting sports sessions to keep everyone active, a memorable bowling trip, and plenty of fun-filled moments designed to create connections and lasting memories. **----- Start of picture text -----**
Ladies Pamper Nights
**----- End of picture text -----**
We hold pamper nights to help people feel valued, special, and cared for as a reflection of God's love for them. We hosted 3 Ladies Pamper Nights reaching 75 individuals. Guests were treated to a range of treatments, including foot spa, hand massage, facials, and head/shoulder massage. A small range of mindfulness activities were also provided, offering guests the opportunity to relax and enjoy some social time, to work on their wellbeing. ## **Other Community Activities** Family games afternoons Liaising with Police & community leaders Meeting with local residents Community social events Gardening and litter picking A lovely ladies evening. Very welcoming and relaxed. Lots of discussions and activities. Thank you for your kindness, care and hospitality. **Farnworth Baptist Church Impact Report 2023 - 2024** **Charity Number 1185143** ## **13. Volunteers** Without our volunteers, we would only be able to support a fraction of people in the local community that we have helped. They work tirelessly giving their time, expertise and compassion to make a real difference. We have volunteers in many different areas from our foodbank, Job Club, Toddler Church, administration, finance, trustees and Sunday meetings. ## **Martyn’s Story** Martyn has been a dedicated volunteer at The Well for 3 years. Every Tuesday, he serves at the foodbank front of house, engaging directly with clients. In addition, Martyn supports our Job Club, playing a key role in helping people return to employment. I really enjoy the role and helping people improve their lives. All the people I work with are very helpful and supportive too - it is a really rewarding experience. ## **16,598** **volunteer hours donated** ## ## **social value** **Farnworth Baptist Church Impact Report 2023 - 2024** **Charity Number 1185143** ## **14. The Year Ahead** We are thrilled to share our achievements from the past year, including a further decrease in the number of food parcels distributed—an outcome we believe reflects the impact of our additional support services—along with significant successes in welfare and benefits that have positively affected our community and a continued boost in café sales. But we’re always moving forward, finding new ways to support our community and pushing ahead with fundraising to keep our services sustainable and available within our community. Things are not getting any easier for our local community. The cost of living crisis has not eased and government policy to reduce welfare spending adversely impacts upon the most needy in our community. There are few other service providers based in Farnworth and so the need for high quality support at the heart of the local community is as great as ever. To ensure we can sustain our provision for years to come these are some of the plans for the next year **----- Start of picture text -----**

Additionally, we extend our appreciation to schools, businesses, churches, and other organisations that have supported us through donations of food or finances. Lastly, we express our deep gratitude to funding bodies whose contributions, whether large or small, have been vital to our work, amounting to thousands of pounds. These include the following:
