The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims** The main objectives and aims of the charity are - to advance the Christian faith by inspiring and equipping Christians and churches to serve and equip older people in their Christian service, and to engage effectively with older people in communities everywhere, and to bring older people into Christian faith and community, for the public benefit. ## **Significant activities** During the year to 31 March 2022 the following were our significant activities - We supported nearly seven hundred 'Church Champions' engaging with older people. Our Facebook reach is around 12000 people, and the newsletter reaches five thousand people per month. We inspired and equipped Christians by reaching many people across Christian radio and tv, and BBC local radio. We produced resources to help volunteers and our Church Champions reach out to lonely and isolated people. We delivered a conference with Keswick Ministries that encouraged seniors in their faith and ministry. We delivered components of the Cliff College course concerning ministry with seniors. Along with the Church of England we have supported and overseen a free telephone service ('Daily Hope') bringing comfort and gospel hope to isolated older people. We inspired and equipped many Christians (our 'Church Champions' actively involved in engaging older people in their churches and wider communities) through our monthly, live Church Champion Training sessions. We started work on reorganising our resources into defined online training packages to equip volunteers and our Church Champions to better serve their church and local community, starting with addressing loneliness and sharing the gospel. We listened to our Church Champions and the feedback from the training and the conferences is positive and is that we are succeeding in encouraging, inspiring, and equipping them. ## **Public benefit** The charity meet the requirement for public benefit by - - providing resources and information regarding different aspects of older age to equip Christians and churches to better serve older people; via the website and in the media. - hosting (through our website) a national directory of church run activities for older people in the wider community to attend. - the charity also supporting a network of Christians involved with older people in the church/community. This support is via shared resources and online training events. ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** ## **Charitable activities** We supported nearly seven hundred 'Church Champions' engaging with older people. Our Facebook reach is around 12,000 people, and the newsletter reaches five thousand people per month. We inspired and equipped Christians by reaching many people across Christian radio and tv, and BBC local radio.
