The Fellowship for Christian Services (KCF) activities have continued, 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 accountability to the trustees. All monies remain immediately available to KCF. This is a deliberate policy to ensure that maximum resources are always available. ## Other ## Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** ## **Donations** Donations of £37695 are down from £38968.20 last year. ## **Gift Aid** We were able to reclaim £8784 from HMRC for donations made under the Gift Aid scheme. ## **Fundraising** A clothing sale, Sponsored swim across the Mersey and cake sales raised £1991 towards this year’s “Heaven Sent Live Nativity” event. ## **Heaven Sent** Heaven sent is our largest outreach of the 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 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 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. ## **Gifts** A total of £5305 was distributed as gifts this year this is up from £3308 last year. This includes donations towards the Iraneous project and Macmillan cancer support. In addition, we were able to support local families with new school uniforms. ## **Building Costs** Building costs continue to be one of our major expenses. We spent £24840 in this area which includes a cost of £6000 for repairs and replacements after the building was broken into in January. ## **Outreach Work** A total of £12388 was used in this area over the past year. March **2012** **TAR** 3 ## **SHARe Knowsley** The charity has continued to support SHARe Knowsley by allowing them to host a weekly session at our building. SHARe 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 each week. Further information about this charity can be found at https://shareknowsley.org.uk/ 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 outreach activities including… ## **Kairos Kids** A weekly meeting for children of all ages for bible teaching and worship. ## **Girls Night Inn** An outreach for girls with games, interactive bible messages and crazy challenges. ## **Sunday Night** An open worship meeting with bible teaching and is open to all. ## **House Groups** Weekly meetings in smaller groups at people’s homes. A time to be a part of what God is doing in our community. ## **Friends and Fellowship** A monthly meeting designed specifically to cater for older people and attracts residents and staff from local nursing homes and those in residential accommodation. ## **Taxi Wash** A monthly free service to local taxi drivers where each taxi is given a quality hand wash whilst the drivers enjoy sausage, egg and bacon butties and tea or coffee. The service provides an opportunity in a relaxed atmosphere for taxi drivers to experience the love of God for them. ## **Heaven Sent** As discussed earlier, Heaven Sent Live Nativity is our largest outreach of the year where we turn our car park into Bethlehem with authentic buildings and live animals. The event normally runs over 3 days with the first day reserved for local primary schools and the residents of local nursing homes. ## **Summary** This year income was £830 more than expenditure meaning that we go into next year in a strong financial position. ## **Section E Financial review** The trustees monitor the financial activities of the fellowship monthly to **Brief statement of the** ensure that all monies are spent appropriately and that there are **charity’s policy on reserves** sufficient funds to meet our commitments. **Details of any funds materially in deficit** None March **2012** **TAR** 4 ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising). - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity.
