Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
During the course of the year the Church has run a range of activities and each has been a source of encouragement.
The regular Sunday gatherings of the church have been well attended, both by partners of the church and those exploring the Christian Faith. It has been particularly encouraging to see good attendance on a Sunday evening.
The work with children and young people has been a source of encouragement but not without challenges as record attendance and difficult behaviour resulted in “Prime” being closed. However this has led to the commencement of a new initiative for older teenagers called “Rooted”.
The Church benefits from many voluntary hours and unclaimed out of pocket expenses, contributed by a large number of people. It would be impossible to place a value on these gifts in kind, for which the Trustees are extremely grateful. But through these gifts the Church has been able to meet its objectives.
