Overview and Vision** Edge Ministries is Christian charity that consists of a network of churches and ministries reaching and helping the hurting, lost and broken in areas of urban and rural deprivation. By supporting Church leaders and developing Christian communities (edge communities) we are a rescue mission to forgotten people in forgotten places. Our Edge Centres and communities are designed to be beacons of hope and light - and centres of practical support and assistance to the poorest and most broken people in the communities in which we work. ## **Edge Centre** Edge Centres provide a range of support for people on the edge of society. Staffed by volunteers at a local level, and supported by a remote team of fully trained and qualified professional experts, an Edge Centre offers a range of services including those outlined below: - Debt Advice service – Providing an FCA regulated Debt Advice service for anyone who needs help with financial issues. - Housing and benefits advice – including form completion and assistance to Appeal level. - Community Café – A friendly inclusive space where people can come to rest and relax and find a listening ear to give opportunity to unburden and chat through any concerns. - A range of other services and activities are being discussed with specific partner ministries including: - Life skills - Community Gardens - Addiction recovery and support - Supporting victims of abuse - Preloved school uniform projects - Bereavement support - Veteran’s support Edge Centres will be free of charge to the user and funded by a variety of streams including Church support, trust fund gifts and grants. ## **Edge Communities** These are communities of individuals and families who are on a journey of faith. - A daily rhythm of prayer and breaking bread in homes and other venues (cafes / public spaces etc) to build relationship and pray for the local community. Can be led by any member of the community. - To provide a template for the daily meet ups above, which can be customised locally to fit the needs and character of the community. To include simple wording for breaking bread together. - To hold an early evening informal midweek meeting based around a community meal and an act of worship. - Additional weekly opportunities to explore what the Bible has to say and pray together in small groups based in homes. Page 5 of 20 Edge Ministries Annual Report - Year ending 31 March 2021 - Not to provide or focus on Sunday services, but build relationships with local established churches for those who wish to attend ‘traditional’ church worship etc. - Focus to be on serving the community, engagement with various community groups. Gardening, foodbank, DIY, cooking, visiting etc. ideally this will be based from an Edge Centre. ## **Church / Leaders network** A network of churches and leaders with a passion and vision to reach out to those in forgotten places whilst supporting each other and sharing experience and practical thoughts and ideas. ## **Partner Ministries** A key part of the vision is the network of Charities and organisations working with the poor and marginalized right across the UK. This is open to national / regional / local charities both big and small. Opportunity to share best practice and offer advice and support to others working in the same arena, or those wishing to provide new support services via an Edge Centre. ## **EdgeFest** Edgefest is our summer festival that aims to help people discover and grow in faith in Jesus and enjoy community across a family friendly environment. We aim to give space and time for individuals and families to meet with other people in a Jesus centred atmosphere. We offer a nonjudgemental, love and grace filled approach to people from all backgrounds, struggles and challenges. We give free or reduced price tickets to those who are facing financial hardships and wish to attend. Page 6 of 20 Edge Ministries Annual Report - Year ending 31 March 2021 ## **2. Activity during the reporting period** This year has seen the opening of our first Edge Centres and a growth in the network. We were gifted a property to the value of £155,000 in September 2020. ## **Edge Centres** The first centre opened at Northampton in Jan 2021 with 5 others (Sheffield, Doncaster, Darlington, Staveley and Witham) due to open in the next reporting period. Discussions are ongoing with potential for 5 other sites across the country. The centre at Northampton is being run within a shopping centre and has seen a steady number of clients access the services, mainly focussed on debt relief. ## **Church / Leaders network** A network of 50 leaders has been established, with two successful regional gatherings taking place for the North and South of the country where leaders came together (online due to the coronavirus pandemic) to be updated and share stories and best practice. The success of holding these events in this manner has led to an online group for leaders being established to facilitate regular communication, support and prayer requests. ## **Partner Ministries** - Freedom Project continue to provide the professional expertise to Edge Centres in the areas of Financial, Housing and Debt advice. - We are developing links with various subject matter experts, and these should come to fruition in the next reporting period. ## **EdgeFest** EdgeFest was not held in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic; it was also not held in 2021, which falls within the next reporting period, however plans are in place to hold it again in summer 2022 at a new venue, Lenchwood Christian Centre, near Evesham. ## **Chesterfield Activity** Edge Ministries will move into new offices at Staveley Methodist Church in the next reporting period. This will include the development of a community garden, opening of an Edge Centre, foundation of an Edge Community and the opportunity to trial new partnerships and services before rolling out across the wider Edge network. Page 7 of 20 Edge Ministries Annual Report - Year ending 31 March 2021 **3. Summary** The Trustees have been excited to see the fresh vision begin to take hold. The coronavirus pandemic has put a lot of plans on hold, but the board believes Edge Ministries is perfectly placed to provide support and hope to many in some of the most challenging areas of deprivation in the UK. The Trustees are thankful to God for the financial support from individuals, churches and trust fund grants that have enabled the work to grow over the reporting period.

Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees** I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiners statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 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.
