This has forced us to be innovative and creative as we worked on providing online platforms for us to meet. We invested in a lot of media and sound equipment. This gave us the opportunity to minister to people wider than our regular congregation. We were also able to get back our gift aid from donations which has allowed us to stay afloat as a congregation. As a church we are also in partnership with various social action projects and organisations across the town. This has allowed us to give donations for food, give a helping hand to those in need and be a listening ear to those who were going through things through the pandemic. We also facilitated gatherings for uni students who wanted a space to pray and fellowship. During this season, we hosted different online events for families, men and women. Our aim was to support our congregants coming out of the lockdown and to allow them face the future with hope and confidence. ## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITIES** The trustees of Nations Call are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Account Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
