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 | A purpose of the Charity has been to provide the surrounding community with the knowledge of the Christian faith, in a manner that is edifying and spiritually improving for the attendees. The Sunday services allow attendees to be spiritually enlightened, mentally refreshed with the opportunity for prayer. After the service there is opportunity for mutual interaction, encouragement, comfort and unity with light refreshments afterwards. In the weekly bible study workshops, we provide attendees with study guidance, encouragement and life skills through biblical teachings, morals and wisdom. This year we have seen more people attend weekly services and meetings, this has given attendees the chance to build community support, interact socially and address their wellbeing through regular conversation. Our Sunday services have also been frequently attended by people within the community without invite, this has encouraged our function of improving lives as a church and giving people the opportunity to break barriers of social exclusion and dis-engagement within communities. Some attendees have also commented on how informative and encouraging the church programmes have been; inspiring and motivating them to engage in personal bible study, share topics and messages of encouragement with others. The sermons that are taught have been easy to follow, integrated with large screen video and the songs have been projected in an easy to follow format making it suitable for attendees of various age groups and levels of english. Thus inspiring people to engage in further study and reading of the Holy Bible in their own time as individuals. The organisation has the safeguarding policy in place which covers the duty of trustees for the protection of beneficiaries, staff, volunteers, and others coming into contact with children, young people and adults attending the organisation. We ensure that all trustees, pastors, volunteers, and beneficiaries are aware of our safeguarding protection policy. The success of the church’s activities is evaluated by regular meetings of the leadership of the Church, having discussions on how to constantly improve the church activities to benefit all beneficiaries. We are a small community church, our services are available to all. We have been making an effort to gradually establish ourselves as a church in the community of Nottingham by taking care and attention towards our regular church activities; evangelism, meetings and church services, in a comfortable and approachable way for the community we live in. Through online platforms, evangelism and being located within the city of Nottingham this has helped us to engage with a wider audience. We have attendees from the local area, with people |

benefiting from our location and easily accessible transport routes. Attendees are encouraged to participate in meetings, providing email feedback and through giving their testimonies. All Souls Restoration Ministries encourages members of the local community and other church communities to network in order to celebrate the gospel of Jesus Christ and encourage positive change in the community we reside. This year, we hosted a celebration service, to honour our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for the progress made a year on. It was a wonderful service of thanksgiving and was greatly supported. We have networked, supported attendees with practical advice and signposting. To benefit the people of Nottingham and surrounding areas, encourage community development and the advancement of the Christian Faith with positive regard for others. The charity has a clear system for referring or reporting to relevant organisations as soon as we suspect or identify concerns. All Souls Restoration Ministries is committed to providing a quick and thorough response to concerns and carrying out appropriate checks.
