Introduction
This has been an exciting first year for Manor Collective! As a new charity, we’ve focused on establishing strong foundations and delivering activities that align with our mission. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far and grateful for the support that has made this possible.
Objectives and Aims
-
The advancement of the Christian religion in the United Kingdom and throughout the world, in particular but not exclusively by:
-
I. The writing and recording of worship music and live performances which promote the Christian faith and its values.
-
II. Delivering workshops and leadership training to equip young individuals with the necessary skills, knowledge, and spiritual foundation to lead worship effectively in Christian settings.
Summary of main activities
In our first few months, we’ve been busy establishing ourselves and starting to make an impact:
-
Creating Worship Music: We’ve written and recorded several pieces of worship music, which have been shared with Christian communities. Live performances have also allowed us to connect with audiences and share our mission more widely.
-
Equipping Young Leaders: Our workshops and training sessions have focused on empowering young individuals to lead worship. These sessions have been well received, with attendees gaining both practical skills and a deeper connection to their faith.
-
Reaching New Audiences: Through promotional efforts and partnerships, we’ve introduced Manor Collective to a growing number of people who share our vision.
Reserves and Future Projects
We are committed to using our reserves responsibly to ensure they support and expand our charitable work. In the coming year, these funds will be directed towards:
-
Music Production: Creating more high-quality worship music to inspire faith and reach new audiences.
-
Workshops and Training: Delivering more sessions to equip young leaders with the confidence and skills to lead worship.
-
Community Engagement: Strengthening our promotional efforts and partnerships to grow our reach and connect with more communities.
The reserves provide us with a stable foundation to plan and deliver these projects effectively; while also ensuring we are prepared for any unforeseen challenges.
Spending Decisions
Every decision about spending is made with our mission in mind. We prioritise activities that directly further our charitable aims, such as workshops and music production, while ensuring we remain financially sustainable.
Governance and Oversight
Manor Collective was established as a charitable incorporated organisation in August 2023. We are governed by a board of trustees who meet regularly to oversee the charity’s work and finances. They are responsible for ensuring that all activities align with our objectives and serve the public benefit.
