A key part of Arc Church is our gatherings that take place weekly and give people from the community opportunity to explore their spiritual life.
At the heart of Arc Church is an eagerness to partner with other local Community Organisations to provide activities and events for the public benefit.
**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)**
The biggest undertaking during this financial period has been signing a franchise with the Trussell Trust enabling Arc Church to set up and run Rawmarsh Foodbank, something that has been much needed within this community during the current cost-of-living crisis.
The trustees have had regard to the Charity commission guidance on public benefit to ensure the charity is complying. Some of our Trustees have been able to complete training within this first year of operations about the role of the Trustee and Trustees and Governance. This has been beneficial to the charity as a whole.
**Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)**
You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about:
- policy on grantmaking;
- policy programme related investment;
- contribution made by volunteers.

Section D Achievements and performance
## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
This first year of operations as a Charity has given Arc Church the opportunity to be involved in several community activities . April 2022: We took part in the community’s Easter Extravaganza November 2022: We celebrated Thanksgiving with a meal and looked back on the previous year . December 2022: We partnered with our friends from Rawmarsh Runners and set up and organised an event with Carols around the campfire and light up for Christmas Walk/Run In April 2022 we signed a franchise with the Trussell Trust and opened the doors to Rawmarsh Foodbank in Nov 2023. This was a massive undertaking and many from our community have been involved. Initially we worked in partnership with one of our local School academy’s, who provided a space for us to run the foodbank from. We have had great success in recruiting volunteers and now have over twenty volunteers involved in the project.
Running a foodbank has meant we have needed to build relationships with local services within our community: Police, GP surgeries, Schools, Library, Mental health charities, social services, all of us working together for the benefit of the public.
