TRusfEESYANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDIPIG 31 DECEMBER 2022
The trustees, present their Annual Report and Statement of Receipts and
Payments for Upper Badoney Parish Church for the year ended 31°, December
2022.
OBJEcfivES AND A cfiviTIES
The charitable purpose of the Church of Ireland is the advancement of the
Christian religion by promoting through the work of the parish the whole mission
of the Churchj pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. Being open to and
engaging with society as a whole and offering support for those needing help is
fundamental to the practical delivery of the tenets of Christianity. As a result of
activity in pursuit of the advancement of the Christian religion, the Parish has
custody of a large body of records, materials and artefacts of significance to the
cultural heritage of the area and society in general and the Parish is engaged in
the maintenance and upkeep of same.
AcfiviTIES OF THE CHARITY
Upper Badoney Parish Church is passionate in its aim to glorify God and to
demonstrate His love within the area. We achieve this by regular Sunday worship
services, Holy Communion, Lenten and Harvest Services open to all who wish to
attend and engage in worship and prayer. We join with neighbouring churches in
regular worship and members of the congregation take part in Mothers Union and
Bible studies. Sunday School is undertaken to provide inspiration and guidance to
the young children and young people of the parish through learning the bible,
nature walks and fun activities. On a bi annual basis we engage with the local
Orange Lodge who hold a service to the glory of God. We have joined with our
linked churches in prayer and activities such as a week of prayery prayer walks
and meals which provided an opportunity to mix socially and to worship God
together.
PASTORAL CARE
In line with our public benefit statement we provide pastoral care to those in
need. The sick, the elderlyy the housebound, those in hospital or nursing homes
through visits from the Rector and other members of the parish. We are
committed to helping those in need with empathyg love and compassion.

THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE CHARITY
Central to the work at all levels in the parish is the teaching of Godys word to
bring parishioners into a deeper knowledge and understanding of Jesus Christ as
Lord and Saviour so that they are thoroughly equipped and motivated to reach out
into the community beyond the parish. We strive to inspire all parishioners to
transform the local community and to build a Christ-centred congregation which
will be a witness for Jesus Christ and to work for the advancement of his
kingdom.
The direct benefit of participation in church life includes the enjoyment of public
worshipi the giving and receiving of pastoral care, improved understanding of the
Bible and extended values relating to civic engagement. Also important is the
building of community cohesion which will promote understanding and
acceptance of diverse groups as well as improved educational outcomes through
the church9s ministry of teaching.
Church services are well attended and demonstrate a keen public interest and
benefit to the community. Attendance at services is good. Outside of normal
church services seasonal Holy Communion services for the elderly in the Parish
Hall (Newtownstewart) help reduce social isolation. The expression of the
precepts of the Christian religion through engagement with the general public,
and in particular with the sick, the elderly and the young is a public benefit. This
can be measured and evidenced through regular visitation, increased social
integration and pastoral care delivered at the point of need.
Overall, the beneficiaries of Upper Badoney Parish Church are the general public
and public valuation of the benefits can be evidenced through attendance at
public worshipi participation in church governance and the willingness to support
the continued witness of the church through contributions.
The wider benefits to the public are both the availability of a place for worship
expanding our Christian outreach and the facilitation of baptisms weddings and
funerals.
As a result of activity in pursuit of the advancement of the Christian religion, the
Parish has custody of a large body of records, materials and artefacts of
significance to the cultural heritage of the area and Society in general and the
Parish is engaged in the maintenance and upkeep of same. No private benefit is
received from trustees fulfilling their responsibilities in respect of buildings,
artefacts or records. In the course of conservation and to make records available
to the public no professional staff are engaged for that purpose. The
beneficiaries are solely the general public.
No trustee receives remuneration, reward or other benefit for carrying out their
trustee responsibilities.

To mitigate against harm, the trustees ensure adequate health and safety
measures are in place at Upper Badoney Parish Church. Child protection checks
and training are in place for those involved in children and youth work.
