Section D Achievements and performance
Section D Achievements and performance
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year |
Here are our highlights for the year 2022/2023 Our Hand in Hand ministry continue to holds its’ fortnight Sunday meetings and Bible study meetings.. We have now be able to hold a mixture of face to face Bible study and through Zoom. These events continue to be a blessing to deaf and hearing people in the community. Our trustees continue to hold a regular meeting to oversee the ongoing of the ministry. We continue to have a good fellowship and work partnership with our hearing counterparts in the church. They have been supportive to us and we are sad to see the minister in charge of the church, Derek Page, going to leave/retire. We are grateful to Derek as he specially welcome us to move to Ruislip Baptist church and have been so supportive and helpful to us. We continue to provide support to deaf people and hearing in the community such as advice, prayer, morale support and any practical support. One example was a member who had mental nervous breakdown. All the trustees and members offer her the needed support. Our women look forward to participate in May 2023 in a women conference. Lastly we had a picnic day at Ruislip Lido to round off our activities for the year.it We are looking forward to the coming new year that we have started this month. We look forward to more community outreach work among deaf and hearing people. Also we hope our men in the fellowship will participate and enjoy the forthcoming Deaf Christian Men conference in Nuneaton on 11thNovember 2023. |
