Falth Communltles
Meeting in vari¢￿S locations around the north coast, our communities gathered regularly
for the benefit of their members and the local neighbourhood.
Vde have invested in centralised offrK Spa￿ at our community space. with investment in
live st￿aming and video content crealion allowing us to provide support to those faith
communities meeting in waTiOUS places across the north coast induding teaching
materi81, recordings for those unable to attend, etc.
Community Garden
We continued to gn￿ our communtylgardenlmffee space called Origln, on Dirraw Road
in Ballymoney.
We added solai power to help us offset the growing amount oy power required to run
activities throughout the year.
Organlsed communty benefit events multiple times per week throughout the year where
local people are welc£Jme to come and enjoy a safe and wa￿ enviionment, grow their
own food, and aid wellbeing.
We delivered food grown in our gardens to refugee and asylum seeker famili8s locally
and further afEtd in Belfasl.
The team advised other groups across the UK on starting similar projects, and this
remains a key objective - to encourage and inspire others to make a difference.

Public Beneflt Requirement
The trustees have all necessary policies and systems in place. Such as Conflict of Interest and
Safeguardlng policies. Quarterly meetings are held and recorded. Regular updates on the
financial p￿lt￿on are re￿ived. Communlty programmes are held throughout the year for the
benefit of all. Regular contact is kept with funding agencies and local councll employees.
Training programmes are attended, and information 15 circulated through our blknatsApp group.
Transactlons wlth related parties
During the year our Collective employed one of our trustees as team leader, and transacted for
woth undertaken in the stewarding of events, running the communty garden, and paid agreed
compensation for electi7clheatinglmaint8nance used on the shared site.
Year-End Financial Posltion
Spending on projecls was higher than usual during this perlod for our organisation, due to
specffic income used to upgrade facilities at our communty garden space. We don't foresee any
issues going forward, due to excellent regular ftnancial support from member& and our plan to
seek funding and granis over the coming months.
We have current policies in pl￿ such as Flnancial and AnttsFraud, which are regularfy
updated.
