Principal Objects
The principal objects of the charity are as follows:
Provision of worship, prayer and teaching services.
Encouraging and supporting individuals within the church and in the wider community.
Provision of services for children and young people.
Supporting through giving financial gifts to individuals and organisations that fulfil the charity’s vision and values.
Achievements and Performance
The vision of the church is ‘Revelling in Jesus, Restoring Lives, Reviving Communities’.
We have provided worship, prayer and teaching services on Sunday mornings at Park View School. Our normal attendance is around 60 adults and 30 children.
We successfully transitioned through various easings of covid-19 restrictions out of wholly online church services to in-person church services. We complied with the changing social distancing and facecovering guidance from public health England, managing the risk as appropriate.
Once back to meeting in person, we considered the learnings from our time of doing online church and adopted a hybrid approach, setting up to livestream each Sunday for those unable to be present and to increase our engagement with those outside of the church through our Facebook page. Most of our midweek community groups now also have adopted a hybrid approach to their gatherings. This has enabled us to be more inclusive of those (such as the elderly or single parents) who were previously unable to attend such meetings.
We have welcomed new regular attenders into the church.
Our midweek community groups (between 8 and 16 in each) have provided a lifeline to some of the most vulnerable or isolated members of our community. These groups provide pastoral support, bible study, prayer and opportunities for church participants to serve by taking responsibilities for roles in these groups. Although we went down from 5 groups to 4 during the course of the year, due to some current leaders needing a break, we have started the process of considering launching a new group in 2022 so that we can best disciple and pastor those coming into the church.
We continue to have a fortnightly intercessory prayer group and a weekly early morning prayer group, both meeting online.
We sought opportunities to share the good news of Jesus with the wider community, such as inviting friends and family members to a family carol service.
We brought a third elder into our eldership team to further strengthen the leadership of the church.
We employed three people to further the work of the charity: an eldership team leader (full-time), a pastoral support worker (part-time), and an evangelist and administrative support worker (parttime).Towards the end of the year our evangelist and administrative support worker resigned from her role as she was moving on from the church. We are now in the process of considering the most appropriate new employed roles for 2022.

Trustee's Annual Report
We supported Heartwood Skills (CIC) in their ongoing renovations of a derelict building to become a community hub (named The Beacon). Although this was hoped to be completed in 2021, funding issues meant this has been delayed to 2022. We will be anchor tenants in this building, working alongside Heartwood Skills, with the objective of providing support services to those in the community around The Beacon, including children and young people. This is located in an area of the town that we have previously sought to engage with, through an annual fun day (sadly not permissible this year), carol services, and monthly Sunday afternoon community events.
We continue to relate with and support our wider family of churches called Regions Beyond. We have done this this year both through regular and one-off gifts to support the work of churches we relate to around the world, and through prayer. We would normally send individuals and/or teams on trips to support these churches, but due to the covid-19 pandemic, this has again not been possible this year. Our eldership team leader has been able to support the wider family of churches by serving as part of its UK team, helping to run and teach on its Leadership School and initiating a next generation global leadership forum meeting monthly on Zoom.
We supported through giving financial gifts to individuals and the following organisations Heartwood Skills (Chester-Le-Street) (CIC 11582152); Refuse CIC (Chester-Le-Street) (Company Reg No: 9672997); Regions Beyond (UK) (Charity number 1152827); Spirit of Africa (Charity number 1141351); Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship (UCCF) (Charity number 306137) and Jubilee Church Hull (Charity number 1123729).
Public Benefit Statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of the Christian faith through the provision of worship and teaching services and the relief of sickness, financial hardship and promoting good health. This has been achieved by the provision of funds, and services.
To advance the Christian faith principally in Chester le Street but also in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the charity trustees may from time to time think fit and to fulfil such other purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales and are connected with the charitable work of the CIO.
To relieve sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health by the provision of funds, goods or services of any kind, including through the provision of counselling and support.

Trustee's Annual Report
Governance Structure
Redeemer Church Chester-Le-Street is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The governance of the Charity is overseen by the trustee's of which there must be a minimum of five members on the board at one time per the constitution. The day to day running of the organisation is delegated to the Elders and Church Leadership team.
Trustee's meetings are held regularly throughout the year to give oversight and direction to the Charity.
Under the requirements of the constitution, in addition to the statutory powers of appointment, a new Trustee may be appointed by a resolution of the Trustees passed by a majority of the Trustees.
Reserves Policy
In line with good practise for charities, the trustees believe it is prudent to keep financial reserves to cover three months of operational costs. This is to ensure continuation of the charity if income to the charity should markedly reduce.
From July 2020, the monthly budgeted operational expenditure is averaged at £5.8K, so if the income levels remain as budgeted the prudent reserves should be £17.4K. In addition, the church aspire to employ a children, youth and community worker in 2022, so additional reserves have been allocated to ensure the sustainability of such a role, giving a targeted reserves level of £30K.
At the end of the financial year we held £37,403 in unrestricted reserves.
The Elders have responsibility for deciding how excess money is allocated / spent / gifted, and they can make these decisions without having to refer to the trustees.
The treasurer reports to trustees after each month end how much money is in the bank above the reserves amount and any special funds (if any are decided to be created by the Elders).
The church partners are only asked for extra gifts if there is a specific cause that the Elders would like to support which can’t be met from the excess held above the reserves amount.
If the Elders would like to spend money that would reduce the reserves amount held, then the trustees should be consulted and be in agreement with such expenditure.
