Trustees’ Annual Report for the period

From 01/04/2021 To 31/03/2022

Charity name: Love Life UK Church

Charity registration number: 1189430

Objectives and Activities

SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document		 Para 1.17 The object of the CIO is to advance the
Christian faith for the public benefit, in
Barnsley and such other parts of the United
Kingdom or the world that 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 charity work of the charity
Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.		 Para 1.17 and
1.19		 The main activities in the reporting period
were related to the restarting of public ‘in
person’ services after the long COVID
lockdown. The church regularly gathered
for worship, prayer and outreach services.
In particular the church hosted large prayer
gatherings known as CV20. These were
initially online, but as the year progressed
the church was able to stage large prayer
gatherings, and engage Christian
musicians and worship leaders in a series
of events designed to foster unity and
prayer amongst churches in the region and
beyond. These served to encourage and
build the faith of the church congregation
and those of many other like-minded
churches.
In addition the church continued its local
outreach programmes, in particular in
helping homeless people, although to date
this has been on a small scale.
Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit		 Para 1.18 The trustees have regard to the Charity
Commission guidance on public benefit

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
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 church has capitalised on the relaxing
of the COVID lockdowns, moving away
from purely online services, and
maximising the potential of in-person
gatherings. The purpose of these
meetings is for teaching, encouragement,
corporate worship and prayer. Guest
musicians and preachers have added to
the diversity of the ministry, and the church
has been a catalyst for unity amongst like-
minded churches, by staging the large
CV20 prayer events, which have a hugely
positive impact on the existing
congregations and also enable the church
and other churches to further their impact
and to further advance the Christian faith.
They demonstrate that Christianity is live
and relevant for the 21stcentury culture.
