| We are well known in the community around the West End area ofStoke- |
|||||||
| on-Trent as a community church and consequently have a constant |
flow | ||||||
| of people from all walks of life visiting us daily for help and support. |
We | ||||||
| are regularly visited by local homeless people, addicts and those in |
need. | ||||||
| Volunteer numbers is an issue facing many charities across the country |
|||||||
| post Covid-19 and we have been similarly affected. So, some of our |
|||||||
| activities ceased to restart due to lack ofvolunteers but other new |
|||||||
| activities started. | |||||||
| We carried out a re-purposing exercise in November 2021 whereby |
our | ||||||
| Cafe became a Community Living Room with changed cafe facilities |

| We deal with many pastoral issues day to day and our pastoral team are | |||||||
| diligent and caring. , regularly keeping in contact especially with those |
|||||||
| who are unable to come to Church. | |||||||
| We operate a Foodbank Distribution Centre on behalf ofthe Stoke-on- |

| This is staffed by committed volunteers. |
|||||||
| Every year we host the Timothy Trow Memorial Day which is in memory |
|||||||
| ofa tram driver who lost his life trying to save a child in 1894just across | |||||||
| the road from our building. The event is supported by our local City |
|||||||
| Councillor and draws many people from the local community paying |

| Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity during the year |
Our main worship service is at 10.30am and although numbers were slightly lower than pre Covid, many people did return to regular worship. There is no barrier to attending any ofour services and we endeavour to make each person feel welcome and at home with us. |
|||
| The re-purposing ofthe Cafh area into a Community Living Room is |
||||
| showing promising growth. The room was painted, had new furniture, |
and | |||
| a children's area was created within the space. |
||||
| Our community engagement work continues to develop as we offered |
||||
| support to people in need referred to us by the local authority. During |
the | |||
| Covid time we received funding to combat social isolation and this work |
||||
| continued as we sought to assist people in coming back into the |
||||
| community. |
