OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Charitable Purpose** New Vision Ministries exists to advance the Christian faith and promote community wellbeing for the public benefit. Our work is delivered from our office in Bolton and extends across Greater Manchester and throughout the United Kingdom. ## **Advancement of the Christian Faith** We deliver teaching, pastoral care, discipleship, prayer gatherings, and community outreach. These activities promote spiritual wellbeing, moral development, and hope. Our Christian faith activities are run couple times a week mainly Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sundays. Ladies in our Church meet on Tuesday nights for their teaching and Prayer sessions, The whole community meets on Thursday nights for midweek teachings and prayers mainly run on zoom and our YouTube channel, Saturdays are for departments meetings and worship teams practice sessions. Sundays all members meet for live Worship made of: Singing, teaching, prayer and fellowship. Services include sessions for adults and children including counselling sessions. We have run these programs every week without fails and they have been very successful in helping us achieve our objectives. We have run sessions specific for ladies, married couples, Youth and Men which have become very popular as in these groups we have realised that people are freer to express themselves in their specific groups as compared in mixed groups. This year we have been able to organise and run successfully 214 events some in small groups, others medium but others larger events. ## **Promotion of Social Inclusion** We have supported individuals who lived in isolation mainly elderly adults and brought them into a community that care about them and help them feel part of a family that think about them and care about their health and wellbeing.

Our programmes provide safe spaces for connection, support, and participation. New Vision Ministries welcome people from different backgrounds and make them feel part of this growing community that values everyone equally. Among our community we do have many people who are unemployed but once they join our community, they are treated equally to everyone else including those who are well off and who can afford to make some donation for the functioning of our charity. As a community we are pleased to make a difference in someone else life regardless of their background, their age, race, political opinion as we serve with love inherited from the Love of our Lord and Saviour Christ. Our community identifies those in need and provides them with the support they need depending on what we can afford but we do receive positive feedback from those who receive our support and guidance on how helpful our community has been serving them, and we aim to keep doing the same as it is making a difference in people’s life. Some of the support that we provide is not necessarily financial but emotional, psychological and spiritual, signposting them to organisations best equipped to best support them such as employment agencies, housing association and agencies in general and so forth. ## **Intercultural Events** We organise events that bring together people from diverse backgrounds to celebrate different cultures, share experiences, and build unity. In most of our events we celebrate and learn from our diversity and cultures in that representative of different communities get the chance to share stories about their culture including main meal preferences and they often bring samples for others to appreciate the taste and appreciate. We want to continue to run these events to help all communities come together to appreciate each other’s difference while promoting mutual acceptance regardless various background and upbrings and culture as Britain is a multicultural society where discrimination is not tolerated. ## **Learning Spaces for Children and Young People** We provide educational support, mentoring, and positive role modelling for children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
