Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
The CIO was pleased, however, to be able to support the Senior Leadership Team of the church in achieving significant successes during the period. In particular:
-
In-person services, and Kids Church activities, continued to take place, both at our Stratford and Manor Park sites. Considerable effort was also made to make them accessible to those watching online.
-
Similarly, a number of well attended courses were held both online and in person, including Alpha, The Bereavement Journey, and courses looking at money management.
-
In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the church had set up a Food Bank. This has continued to have a major impact in supporting disadvantaged people in Little Ilford. Alongside this a Growbaby project has also continued, providing new and second and clothes to those in need.
