Ob"ects and activities Objects and aims The objects of the CIO for the public benefit are to advance the Christian faith in accordan with our Statement of Beliefs in Bolney, West Sussex and in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the charity trustees may from time to time think fit.

Several times a year we hold a Family Celebration servi at 4pm. Llfe Group On Wednesday evenings we meet for prayer and Bible Study and on the first Wednesday of each month we meet earlier and share a meal together. Top Street Tots On Tuesdays during term time our group for babies and toddlers meets from 9.30 - 11.OQam with 6- 10 carers and their children attending. Connect children's groups On Friday evenings during term tirne we hold iwo groups for childTrn: Mini Connect for 5 and 6 year olds and Middle Connect for 7 -11 year olds. This year we have had 6 - 10 Minis and 20- 25 Middles. We are affiliated with Urban Saints through whom we process CBS checks for volunteers. Wondering about God On Wednesdays during temi time we hold a mid-week group from 11am- 12.30pm for ladies which includes Bible teaching. testimonies and discussion. Ladles and men's dlnners Once each term we arrange a ladies dinner and a men's cury night with 20- 30 attending. At each dinner we have a guest speaker who will share a testimony or give teaching. The dinners regularly attract guests with no faith. Breakout groups Two groups have been established where those interested in exploring faith can meet over a meal and have opportunity to ask questions. Both groups took a break this year for different reasons but hope to resume in due course. Courses for enqulrars We regularly run courses for those interested in finding out about the Christian faith. This year we ran Hope Explored and have plans to run Alpha in autuffln 2024. Care home servSces On the first Thursday of each month we hold seNices at two local residential homes, Eastridge Manor and Aniska Lodge with 10- 20 residents attending at each home.
Supporting other charities Each year we give away an amount equivalent to 10 /0 of the previous year's gross income to support other charities: Sierra Leone Mission - supporting churches and sChIS of The Connexion. In 2024 this included supporting a visit by Rev Simon Allaby to Sierra Leone. Off the Fence - a Brighton and Hove based charity working with the homeless and those at most risk in the city. Release Intemational- a charity working overseas to support persecuted Christians. Caring for God's People- supporting the wort of Imts'az Ashraf in Pakistan In addition we make 8 voluntary Ix)ntribution to the Mission fund of The Connexion of £30 per church member. Financial review We are grateful to God that the financial needs of the Chapel have been met during the year and that monthly income more or less covers monthly outgoings. In autumn 2023 we faced a significant shortfall due to loss of rental income from the manse annex and a huge increase in electricity charges. This was resolved through finding a new tenant for the annex. changing contract for the supply of electricity and increased giving by members of the Chapel. Summa In our first year as a CIO we have been greatly encouraged. We have a small core of dedicated volunteers who sacrificially give up their time and energy to provide all of the activities listed above. In everything we do our aim is to glorify and make known the Lord Jesus and make it as easy as possible for those currently outside of the Chapel to encounter him and come to faith.
