Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

This year was again much restricted by the pandemic. Following government guidelines, we closed for face-to-face services from February until May 2021. We were able to offer a Sunday service using Zoom but knowing that this was not an option for many of our congregation, we continued to send out a weekly written service. This ended only at the end of May, once face-to-face services had resumed – in total 53 editions were produced and circulated. We are very grateful to the members of our congregation who helped make this possible. It was September before we felt able to relax all the Covid controls though we re-introduced them once the Omicron variant arrived in December. Sadly, this also meant that we had to cancel our community Carols by Candlelight service for the second year. Our Sunday School was closed for virtually the entire year, opening again only at the end of January 2022. Our Minister moved on during the summer, so our services are now led by a variety of visiting preachers and members of our own congregation.

Covid requirements meant that our only community event during the year was the Christmas Fair and that room bookings could only begin again from September. Chapel income was inevitably reduced but at the year end, our financial position remained sound.
