Purposes
The objects of the Trust are the advancement of the Christian Religion and other
charitable purposes.
Public Benefit
Our overall aim is the spiritual, intellectual, psychological and physical wellbeing of the
community in general. We hold a weekly Sunday public meeting involving worship,
praise, bible teaching, prayer followed by refreshments and a time to socialise. We
provide teaching activities for the children and provide crèche facilities for toddlers. We
hold midweek public meetings where we explore in workshop forums, of a modular type,
various aspects of the Christian faith e.g. contemplative prayer, worship and the
development of everyday living faith.
On Fridays we provide a Singing and Drama workshop with an average of 15 children in
the class with an age range between 4 and 8. We encourage the children to reach their
full creative potential by employing a variety of drama games and dramatic techniques.
The session is fully inclusive and we have children with varied special needs within our
regular classes.
Drama has many proven benefits and we have found that our children have seen
improvements in their confidence, concentration and creativity: skills which are fully
transferable into their everyday life. Furthermore, as the children are encouraged to work
together as a team this in turn fosters strong friendships.
We run a local women's group. The course is based around empowerment giving
strategies to overcome fears, encouraging and releasing people to step into areas of
aspirational interests in their personal lives.
We provide on-going pastoral care and guidance for the church community.
We run a men's group involving fellowship and bible study.
Coracle Christian Community runs a youth and toddler's program
throughout the year on Sundays. There are two groups of volunteers who work with
children for approximately one hour. We provide a crèche facility for toddlers between the
ages of 2- 4 years.
Volunteers engage toddlers in structured play with the use of various toys, books, music
and a small meal is prepared.
We also work with children and youth between the ages 5 -12 years, providing themed
projects with craft activities, games, drama, cookery, artwork and
structured play. Volunteers also supervise children on short excursions to nearby public
parks, cinemas and museums.
Coracle is registered with child protection authorities and has a child
protection policy. All volunteers have been vetted through access N.1 and have been
instructed in basic child protection practices. Coracle has facilitated the "Keeping Safe
Child Protection course. on our premises, for Coracle members and other local groups.

We run events to fundraise for other local and international charities such as N.1.
Children's Hospice and we make a monthly donation to the Christian Blind Mission.
Annually, as a group, we provide hampers for local families in need,
