How our activities deliver publie benefit
In the year under review, the aclivities of The Peoples Church, Newtownabbey continu¢ to focus on specific. idenltfiable
sections of the public. The primary beneficiaries are those seeking spirilual or pastoral care, investigating the Christian
faith or developing their journey in the Christian faith. Other beneficiaries include families of individuals who attend thc
various m inislries and services in the Church building. communities in which the charity works and the general public
who reap the benefit of our work.
The local services of The Peoples Church, Newtownabbey are open to all people regardless of colour, gender, age or
religion.
It is gcncrally rc¢o&7nised that one of the major problems in the UK affecting young people is anti-social behaviour. The
consequences of this for society are many. street crime, drug related health problems, increased policing costs, drug
rclaled criine, increased prison populations. social costs in Iraumas suffered by ihose who are burgled, assaulted or
otherwisc subje¢t¢d to the ¢onscquential cffects of criminal b¢haviour.
The Peoples Church, Newlownabbcy works with children and young p¢ople as well as people ofall ages in its prevention
and intervention activities.
Th¢ scope ofaclivilies that The Peoples Church, Newtownabbey is abl¢ lo engage in to fulfil its objectives is obviously
limited by ils available resources. Howevcr, it is clear that there is enornious public benefit in the charity carrying out its
activities to achieve its stated objectives.
Ensuring our work aehleves our glms
Our aims, objectives and activities arc rcvicwed at our regular meclings of the Pastors and Board of Trustees. These
rcvicws cover cvery aspect of thc charity's work and also help us ensure our aims, objectives and aclivities remain focus¢d
on our slated purposes,
The Board of Truslecs continue to rely upon thc guidancc contained in the Charily Conimission for Northern Ireland's
gLncrci1 b?uidance on public bcncfil when revicwiiig our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In
particular, th¢ Trust¢cs consider how planned aciivilics will contribulc to th¢ aims and objectives conlaincd in tlie Trust
Deed.
The objectives of the charity are achieved through outreach work, Church services and ministries and in other appropriate
ways.
Performnnec Mell5ur¢s
Tlic Pcoplcs Church, Ncwlownabbcy mini51ry programs are successful in helping individuals in many significant and,
indecd. lilc cliangin&i ways. We measure this by assessing key perfonnan¢o indicators (KPIS) that w¢ collccl. analysc, and
report.
Perfomance indicators help The Peoples Church, Newtownabbey promote spiritual and pastoral care to members and
othLrs in the wider coinmunity.
In ordcr lo do this the Trustees regularly consider the following measures in order to develop an approach to measuring
perforniance of The Peoples Church, Newtownabbcy delivery of care to olh¢r5;
Strueturnl Measures: Structurnl quality measure5 refer to the featur¢5 of The Peoples Church, Newtownabbey that
determine its capacity to provide spiritual care, such as the existence of an electronic records system or the ratio of pastoral
care and support staff lo members attending across all our ministries.

ort of the Tru.stees

Process Measures: Process measures are used to assess how well spiritual and pastoral care is provided to an individual
or societal group. These recommendations are based on research evidence or consensus (i.e., the views of experts when
the research evidence is lacking or inconclusive) regarding the probability that providing particular services will achieve
the desired outcomes. Generally. process measures are expressed as rales, with the denominator defining a population
that is of interest becausc of its demographic and clinical Condition. and the numerator defining the subgroup receiving
specific services.
Process measures are particularly important in the development of perforniance measures because they can be used to
ideiitify specific areas of spiritual or pastoral care thal may need improvement. For example. if crime or antisocial
bchaviour is incr¢asing in the community amongst young people. addilional specific youth blroups or events could be
initiated in an effort to reverse the Irend. If il is identified that individuals are slruggling with debt, depression or similar
issues it may be necessary to offer particular discipleship courses. Moreover, thc data lo calculate process measur¢5 often
Can be obiained as part of an administrative daia system that includes information on members, dales and types of. and
¢ngag¢ment with. services,
Outcome Measures: These measures generally are used to evaluale the state of an individual's spiritual health and
wellbeing resulting from the services provided.
Allributing improved student outeom¢s to the Charity's specific actions can sometimes be difficult because oulcoine
measures of quality reflecl Ihc cumulative impact of multiple factors such as thc timeliness of services and Ihe
appropriateness of Ihe lype, Oulcomes also are influenced by factors that dcpend on the individuals themselves and are
outside the Church care systems.
Access Measures: Access mcasures assess the extent to which a person who needs care and scrviccs is able to r¢c¢ivc
them.
While KPI data may differ between ministries, thcy generally include the following..
Number of visitors atlcnding for the first time:
rrcquency of aitendancc:
Nuinber of prolessions of faith in Christ,
Number of Baptisms
Givingrriihing;
Successful coinpletion of discipleship prog?rams;
No gf withdrnwals/resignnlions froni Church Incmb¢rship;
Percenlago of allendees involved in ministry and serving within the local church ministrics.
KPI data is collected, analysed, and evaluated on an ongoing basis lo ensure The Peoples Church identifies trends and the
eff¢cl of service. Parameter changes on oulcom¢s are identified in a timely manner. Reports are communicated to all
Trustee5,
During the year under review il was necessary lo comply with the restrictions placed upon public gatherings due to the
Covid-19 pandemic. This meant closing the church building for a number of months and eventually the l¢adership being
able to conduct socially distanced services in the church car park. During ihe year the Trustees are satisfied with the
reported results in cach of the perforniance indicators which they identify &5 key. Whilst satisfied that these measurcs
have been achieved througlioul Ihc ycar there were changes implenient¢d to ensure the health and safety of all members
and attendees to the church.
KPI'S will continue to serve as a quality assurance tool for The Peoples Church, Newtownabbey. The information they
provide helps us proinote care that is accessible, service-driven, cost-effeclive, evidence-based, and result5-focused.
