|---|---|---|
|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|Para 1.17|**The objectives of the CIO are:**<br>**a) the advancement of the Christian**<br>**faith in Shropshire and in such**<br>**other parts of the United**<br>**Kingdom or the world in**<br>**accordance with the statement of**<br>**beliefs (listed at the end of this**<br>**constitution) and the fulfilment of**<br>**such other purposes which are**<br>**exclusively charitable according**<br>**to the law of England and are**<br>**connected with the charitable**<br>**work of the charity;**<br>**b) to relieve persons who are in**<br>**conditions of need or hardship or**<br>**who are aged or sick and to**<br>**relieve the distress caused**<br>**thereby in the said location and**<br>**in such other parts of the United**<br>**Kingdom or the world as the**<br>**trustees may from time to time**<br>**think fit.**|
|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or<br>services identified in the<br>accounts.|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|**We continued to meet together regularly**<br>**throughout the year. The number of**<br>**members remains steady.**<br>**We continued to be active in arranging**<br>**shared supermarket deliveries for**<br>**neighbours (as well as some church**<br>**members who needed them) and**<br>**delivered them to their doorsteps.**<br>**As a church we continued to donate a**<br>**monthly amount to the local Foodbank**<br>**and Baby Bank. These donations**<br>**continue to date. We continued our**<br>**contact with two overseas Christian**<br>**workers families and our regular**<br>**donations to the one in Cyprus are**<br>**ongoing for their work. We have regular**<br>**zoom calls with the second couple in the**<br>**Philippines, giving them prayer support**|





|||**throughout the year.**<br>**We continued to run a midweek meeting**<br>**on Wednesday evenings at one of our**<br>**member’s homes, led by another**<br>**congregation member.**<br>**As part of our church membership we**<br>**have several needy people and**<br>**continued to assist one person with**<br>**their annual tax return.**<br>**We began an Alpha course with three**<br>**people who attend the church only**<br>**occasionally. This also included**<br>**hospitality in a members home each**<br>**time we met.**<br>**We paid for a taxi for one member who**<br>**would not otherwise have been able to**<br>**attend on Sundays and we gave lifts**<br>**home for some of our elderly members.**<br>**We organised a number of events**<br>**including a skittles morning with lunch,**<br>**Sunday breakfasts and live streaming of**<br>**a nativity play for the community at**<br>**Christmas time instead of our weekly**<br>**gathering. They were very well attended**<br>**and enjoyed by those who wouldn’t**<br>**usually want to go to church.**<br>**One of the new main regular community**<br>**provisions this year is ‘Little Bundles’,**<br>**our Parent/Carer birth to pre-school**<br>**Toddler group on Friday mornings. This**<br>**has been very well attended and**<br>**provides a safe and happy place for all**<br>**who come along.**|
