||||We do this by predicting<br>future expenditure<br>and seeking||

|||(tithing to charities). Hope Church<br>will be a beacon<br>in this respect and<br>probably a 'model' for other churches joining tCAS.||||
|||PUBLICITY||||
|||We have developed<br>our website and plan to:||||
|||create video clips explaining<br>what we do and how we do it||||
|||publicising<br>tCAS through<br>Linkedln,<br>targeting<br>roles, job titles|and|||
|||functions<br>(i.e. Pastor, Minister, Vicar etc)||||
|||do some Facebook activity||||
|||get articles published||||
|||We will be careful<br>in doing any direct 'marketing'<br>or 'selling'<br>(horrible||||
|||words<br>in the context ofGod's work) because<br>it is in essence||||
|||confrontational.<br>Proposing<br>that a church become a tCAS subscriber||is not||
|||an easy concept to present.<br>It would be better ifthe church itself||||
|||responded<br>to opportunities<br>presented<br>through<br>Linkedln etc.||||
|||FAITH FRIENDS||||
|||Perhaps one ofthe most exciting and successful aspects oftCAS in||2020||
|||has been the emergence<br>and development<br>ofwhat is now called: Faith||||
|||Friends. These are individuals<br>who commit to support an individual|client|||
|||by phoning<br>them, Zooming<br>with them, contacting<br>them, walking<br>out|with|||
|||them<br>(when permitted<br>under Covid safe rules). We now have seven||of||
|||them and the desire (from clients) for a Faith Friend continues<br>to grow||||
|||and outnumbers<br>the available volunteers.<br>This is where tCAS needs||to||
|||engage with churches<br>in Colchester and Ipswich and around the country||||
|||to encourage<br>individuals<br>to become a Faith Friend.||||
|||The feedback from the Faith Friends is positive, they value the||||
|||opportunity<br>to serve God and<br>it seems to add to their sense of purpose|||in|
|||God.||||
|||We will be running<br>our first training course for Faith Friends developed<br>the evangelist<br>in Kingsland<br>church starting<br>in late February and we will|||by<br> be|
|||seeking to help them to interact with each other and leam from each||||
|||other's experience.||||
|||CREATIVE THERAPIES||||
|||In the autumn<br>of2020, the CEO ofthe Food Bank enthused<br>over the||idea||
|||of providing<br>craft activities for people who have lost their confidence||and||
|||sense ofself worth because of DV or mental<br>illness. His enthusiasm||||
|||encouraged<br>the one ofthe Trustees to start to develop a series ofcraft||||
|||activities that could be done online (i.e.through<br>Zoom) and face to face|||in|
|||a group setting<br>(Covid regulations<br>permitting).||||
|||They are currently<br>being tested and will be piloted<br>in early March and <br>live in March 2021 under the banner of 'Creative Therapies'.||go||
|||It will be overseen<br>by tCAS and run in conjunction<br>with<br>it but funded||||
|||separately.||||
|||It will run using the same safeguarding<br>procedures<br>as any tCAS activity.||||
