Achievements and Performance

Summary of the main
achievements of the
charity, identifying the
difference the charity’s
work has made to the
circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para
1.20		 The charity was established on 20th December
2019, which was shortly before the widespread
coronavirus pandemic, which created
disruption like many other organisations.
Despite the pandemic, the charity shaped itself
and positioned itself to work well remotely
between March and July 2020 operating online,
which allowed online participation and
engagement.
Launched officially in August 2020 at Broad
Street in Dagenham, The Apostolic Movement
Church has worked with local councils, the
local communities, local youth club as well as
the autism community supplying them with
food and care from volunteers.
Relocated to Vincent Street, Canning Town in
December 2021, where we have continued to
reach out to the Newham community through
distribution of donations. established a
collaboration with Morriosons through their
community champion and connect with the
locals by hosting community friendly events.
Donations have gone out to the homeless,
shelters/care homes and families. For example,
on Christmas Eve, we sang carols, gave out
hot drinks and donations to the locals - to
encourage our presence.
Early July we established the YEES Market
Shop on Rathbone Market - held every Tuesday
morning. This entails receiving donations from
our members and selling items to pour back
into the project.
The charity is providing a benefit to the
youngsters of the community by partnering
with organisations such as YouthZone. It
provides help in furthering their education for
School dropouts and those in need of further
educational support.
On a daily basis, we collect donations of
clothes, a variety of food and items for
personal care and bodily use for not only those
that are homeless, but those that have a place
to sleep at night but still suffering in their
current states.
We use all our resources and contacts such as
various councils, library resources centres,
Streetlink, social workers, health care
practitioners, care homes and hostels etc to
ensure that in good time people are housed.

For example, one of few people we have ensured their safety and their home: Michael Beale. In Dagenham, we found him homeless and begging in the street and from there he was willing to come into Church, show his heart that he wanted help and found out how unfortunate his life had been, the abuse and neglect that he endured and the dementia that he was led to having. We eventually got into contact with the council, his social workers and brought his case back to life which prompted his care workers to look after him and give him what he is entitled to. Every day we would feed him, clothe him and ensure he is kept warm. We are looking to run workshops starting in just over a week for mother and baby sessions whereby women and their young children can come into a place where they feel safe and engage themselves, engaging their children also. An opportunity for them to rest in their busy schedules. Above all we hold outreach occasions every major holiday. We are currently focusing on Christmas and Easter whereby the impact that we have had on the community has been more than what we thought it would be. The aim of this is to give necessities to homes, youth, children, women, shelter etc and even the elderly and those with disability to show them that they have a community that would go the extra mile for them whenever necessary. We never knew that we would cause such an impact and that other similar charities want to work with us and we hope to breach out further from here.
