You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about-. policy on grant making. policy programme related investment,. contribution made by volunteers. The Fellowship for Christian SeNices (KCF} activities have contlnued, as always, to operate through time freely given by the large body of church partners. There are no paid employees. In respect of grant making and indeed for all expenditure, requests are prayerfully considered by the trustees. Other partners in the church contribute extensively to the day to day activities of KCF through specific focus ministry groups but this remains within a strong framework of a¢¢ountability to the trustees. All monies remain immediately available to KCF. This is a deliberate policy to ensure that maximum resources are available at all times. Other Section D Achievements and performance Summary of the maln achlevements of th8 charlty during the y&ar Covid19 had a signfficant effect on the 201￿20 accounting period. Meetings at the church building were paused and we reverted to online meetings via zoom. Donations Donations of £36077 are dovm from £38420.37 last year. This is mainly due to a reduction in cash donations as meetings at the Church have been restricted due to Covid19 Gift Aid We were able to reclaim £8738.02 from HMRC for donatlons made under the Gift Aid scheme Fundralslng None of our usual fundraising took pla￿ this year as our Lrve Nativity event had to be cancelled due to the restrictions. Heaven Sent Heaven sent is our largest outreach of the year and has become an annual event where we tum the church car park into Bethlehem with authentic buildings and live animals. The event takes place over 3 days. The first day is reserved for local schools with approximately 400 school children attending. Residents of local nursing homes are also brought along to day 1. The remaining days are open to the public. In order to keep this event free to the public, we usually raise funds through Glothing sales and the sponsored swim across the Mersey during the year. This year we ran a Wirtual Heaven Seny, om Fa￿bOOk. Some of the regular Heaven Sent Characters recorded a short video message to tell the NatFvity Story. Gifts A total of £6778 v4as distributed as gifts this year. Lockdown put additional pressures on the local communty. This year we were able to support local familiés by providing school unifomis in preparation for thè new School year. We also supported Southdene community association ￿th a cash gift towRrds selection boxes for th8ir Christmas float. In addition we supported our regular overseas charities. This includes donation of £1000 for Surigao Holistic Ministries in the Philippines. This ministry has been supported by KCF for a number of years. This is minist to small tribes in the Phili ines.

We have also supported this ¢harity for a number of years where the focus has been to build a Maternity Hospital to provrde the opportunity for more women to be cared for during childbirth. This will resutt in reduod morbidity and mortality rates. 8uilding Costs This continues to ￿ one of our major expenditure items, £14789 was spent this year which is down from £15986 last year. Assets A total of £1920 was sP8nt on AV equipment in this year. This was mainly for equipment that allows our worship teams to broadcast via Zoom providing several online sessions each week. Outr8ach Work A total of £1896 was used in this area over the past year. This is greatly reduced fom £15415 the previous year. This is due to the Church Hall being closed down due to the Covid19 restrictions and most meetings being Can￿lled or moved online. KCF seeks to promote its activities without charge to the local community by the freewill giving of its members. The church has a number of different OLrtreach activities including... Kairos Kids A weekly meeting for children of all ages for bible teaching and worship. Lion's Den A monthly outreach to children from the local ¢ommunity with games and activities with a focus on a relationship with God. Lads Nlght and Girfs Night Inn An outreach for teenagers with games. interactive bible messages and crazy challenges. Sunday Night An open worship meeting with bible teaching and is open to all.

Taxl Wash A monthly free servio to local taxi driv8r8 where each taxi is given quality hand wash whilst th8 drivers enjoy sausage, egg and ba¢on butties and tea or coffee. The service provides an opportunity in relaxed atmosphere for taxi drivers to experien￿ the love of God for them TAR Marth 2012
