The objethves of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation are-.
l. To advan￿ the religion of Spiritualism for the public benefit in Bewdley and other parts of

such other purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and
Wales and are connected with the work of t.he charity.
2. To promote Social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming

poverty or social and economic circumstances, have need of such facilities.
Heaven On Severn was able to complete the purchase of the Wribbenhall Community Centre on 29,
August 2024. sin￿ then, we have worked to renovate and improve the fabric of the building and its
facilities, in order to provide a safe and welcoming space for both Bewdley Spiritualist Church and
members of the surrounding community, who are able to use the building for a range of clubs,
events and meetings.
Bewdley Spiritualist Church has increased the n4Jmber of church services that it has each month. The
congregation has continued to increase in numbers for both the Divine services and the Healing
services. The Ministets of the church have worked with the community, for example, by providing
funeral services at the local crematorium, undertaking services at other nearby Spiritualist Churches
and visiting the sick in local hospitals. The church services provide a valuable means of connecting
with, and providing social inclusion for, anyone who is at risk of becoming socially excluded, due to
illness, infirmityi age etc.
The Trustee5 acknowledge the valuable contribution made by the team of healers who volunteer to
provide their healing services, free of charge. Each healer has undergone a lengthy period of training
and is fully insured with the appropriate National Healing body.
In addition to the church services, several social events have been organised, to encourage those
who do not have a religious belief to engage with others in their local community, for example at an
afternoon tea, complementary therapy training event or workshop. Where Trustees are aware of
those experiencing financial difficulties, attendan￿ at these social or training events may be at a
reduced cost or free of charge, to ensLEre that everyone who would benefit fmm attending, has the
chance to do so.

The Centre provided acommunity Warm Space from November- March, allowing those at risk of
social exclusion on the grounds of poverty, age, infirmity or ethnicity to have a place where they
would feel welcome. The warm space was availablefor them to attend twice a week, to enjoy
warmth, friendshipi companionship and free actr"vlties. The scheme attracted a regular clientele, who
enjoyed the opportunity to come together in a safe and warm space.
The Centre has been opened up to community groups who wantto meet and enjoy social time
togethei. Key Use￿ include U3A groups for Textiles, Craft, Scrabble, Backgammon and Cribbage. The
Centre is used by 3 range of other groups, including a Babies and Toddlers group, a local school for
children with Special Educational Needs, and a slimming group. There is a low cost for hiring the
Centre, to help cover our running costs, which enables smaller groups to afford to use it on a regular
basis.
The Trustees have undertaken their duties with regard to the guidance issued by the Charity
Cornmission on public benefit.

Financial Review
The position in the accounts refiects the fund raising that has taken place and income received from
the hire of the Centre to other community groups and organisations. Currently, the majority of the
Charity income is from donations received via the Church collection plate, organised events and
donations from individuals.
We are aware that the Centre is in need of a substantial upgrade and will continue to fund raise to
cover some of these future costs. In addition. we wlll continue to apply for grants from other
oryanisations Such as the Nation31 Lottery.
The Trustees have decided that there should always be a financial reserve of £10,000 in the bank to
cover any emergencies that may arise.
