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)
Prior to the Lockdown in March 2020 the church was undertaking a full range of activities including Sunday services , Sunday school, Mums and Tots, Chillax, Grace Café and the India Mission support . Lockdown meant that much of our usual activity had to be curtailed, but new ways of delivering our objectives have been introduced . Sunday Services were delivered online, Grace Café services were similarly delivered online . A new online men’s group – the Timothy Group, was established . Pastoral work was continued by regular phone contacts with the congregation and, for people without access to online communications, CDs were produced and delivered . Food deliveries were also made to vulnerable members of the fellowship during the first lockdown .
As lockdowns eased it became necessary to adapt to meet covid regulations which meant that Sunday services were split into 2 services to limit numbers . Worship was limited as singing was not allowed but resuming fellowship, albeit in a limited fashion, proved valuable. Clearly many of the other activities have also been suspended including Sunday school and youth work. These are now slowly returning to normal in 2021 as the pandemic eases.

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
With rhe Covid pandemic virtually closing the nation down for long periods, maintaining charitable operations has faced many obstacles; not least a considerable reduction in income for the church. Social community meetings and functions have not been allowed due to government restrictions being imposed across the board and we have taken great care to abide by these meticulously. Availability of Pastoral services have been maintained throughout, although face to face contact has been avoided and closely managed when unavoidable.
As restrictions ease meetings are slowly resuming but with great caution and strict control to try and reduce any potential for a resurgence of the virus.
Support for our India mission has continued due to financial resources for this activity being maintained throughout the year. This was viewed as essential to ensure the orphanage could continue to function in the face of the pandemic, which was particularly severe in India.
It is an understatement to say that it has been a difficult year but it is the view of the church that we have maintained our charitable functions and activities to the best level achievable under the circumstances.
