Annual Report

2024 was the first year of operation for the CIO, and the organisation did not become fully operation until 1[st] September 2024.

On 1[st] September 2024, the TUPE process between the Diocese of Truro and the CIO was complete, and the CIO became responsible for two employees:

Deanery Missioner
Children and Schools Worker

Funding

The CIO’s income for this first year was derived two sources:

The transfer of existing funds held by Carnmarth South Deanery
Funds granted to the CIO from the Lowest Income Communities Fund; this fund is administered by the Church Commissioners and distributed by Dioceses.

Activity

Both the Deanery Missioner and the Children and Schools Worker continued the work they had each started when employed through Transforming Mission (Falmouth).

The Missioner had established several ‘contact points’ with the people of Falmouth; these mostly operated out of Fairwinds in Church Street, Falmouth. These have included:

Chillioi – Vulnerable adults, LGBTQ awareness and inclusivity
The Sanctuary – help for those escaping domestic violence
Fairwinds Students – mental health and debt advice; monthly Holy Communion
Salvation Army Drop-in – partnering with Falmouth Salvation Army to offer support to street homeless and multi-agency community
Corker Memorial – working King Charles the Martyr church (Falmouth) and Truro Diocese to form a way forward for education and human trafficking
Sparrows project – now a charity in Cornwall that helps those who have been trafficked or are escaping modern slavery

The Children and Schools Worker had already established contacts with Primary Schools in Falmouth, and she set about making contact with the other Primary Schools in the Deanery. Most schools were very appreciative of the assistance offered with regard to the delivery of the RE curriculum, and age-appropriate seasonal workshops were run in different locations – some in schools and some in churches.
