Summary ofthe achievements of ,during the year				main the charity		Covid19 continued to have a significant impact during 2020-21 accounting period. As restriction began to be lifted, we were able to resume some ofthe meetings at the church building.
						Donations
						Donations off42607.20are up from f36077 last year.
						Gift Aid
						We were able to reclaim f8503.75from HMRC for donations made
						under the Gift Aid scheme
						Fundraising
						A clothing sale raised f570.50towards this year's Heaven Sent Live
						Nativity event.
						Heaven Sent
						Heaven sent is our largest outreach ofthe year and has become
						an annual event where we turn the church car park into
						Bethlehem with authentic buildings and live animals. The event
						takes place over 3days. 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
						one. The remaining days are open to the public. To keep this
						event free to the public, we usually raise funds through clothing
						sales during the year.
						This year we ran a scaled down version of Heaven Sent at the Weekend only due to ongoing concerns around covid 19.
						Gifts
						A total of22722 was distributed as gifts this year.
						Building Costs
						Building costs continue to be one ofour major expenses.
						As we started to come out oflockdown, we took the opportunity to
						complete a much-needed refurbishment ofthe facilities at the rear ofthe
						building. This included a complete replacement ofthe kitchen and
						refurbishment ofthe back "coffee lounge" room to include a second small
						kitchen area for serving drinks.
						French doors and decking were installed to open the coffee lounge to the
						garden and security was enhanced with the addition ofnew roller
						shutters and a composite back door.
						In addition to this we installed a wooden gazebo in the back garden that
						has iven us the o tion of havin small rou meetin s outside.

While the refurbishment was taking place and meetings at the building
were restricted, we were able to decorate all the other rooms at the
church. The total amount spent on building costs and refurbishment	was	'
253299.
Assets
A total off4485.39was spent on AV equipment in this year. This
includes a new stage piano to replace a faulty older unit, and additional
microphones and cables to prepare for the opening of meetings at the
building.
Outreach Work
A total off3901.36was used in this area over the past year. This has
increased from f1896.47 the previous year.
Although we gradually opened Sunday services, most ofour other
outreach meetings remained paused for most ofthe year.
SHARe Knowsley
The trustees were approached by a charity, SHARe Knowsley, to use of
the building to assist them in supporting the welfare ofrefugees and
asylum seekers in the area. The trustees agreed to a trial period and
review for SHARe to use the facilities once a week. A trustee would be
present at each session to help set up the facility and to clear away.	No
charge would be made to SHARe for the use ofthe facilities though
SHARe would provide a clothing bank, supplementary food items and
refreshments.
The sessions have become very popular with asylum seekers with over
70 attending the drop in sessions weekly.
