Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period

As we continue to look for new premises our activities are a mix of online and in person meetings. Our pastors ensure that the elderly and vulnerable are cared for’ and endeavour to maintain contact with those in recovery. An ‘Open Table’ is hosted each week in a local café. A ladies group also meets to share fellowship and friendship. Sunday School meets weekly and youth and young adults get together on a regular basis. We have been able to start a monthly fellowship meal, to which all are invited By way of our missionary society we are able to support medical and educational causes in countries where there is need. While lack of our own premises is challenging, we continue to explore new ways forward whereby we can effectively benefit the wider community.
