Objectives and activities
Charitable purposes Summary of the main activities in relation to these objects
	To promote Christian practice through worship, pastoral care and community outreach.
	There is a weekly worship service in the Church. There is also a series of bible studies throughout the year. The minister acts as chaplain to the sheltered housing complex beside the Church, and is also involved in the local school. There is a popular weekly friendship church meeting where those living alone or feel isolated can meet for a chat and coffee. The Church aims to be a community hub, our church hall is used extensively as the local council have closed the community halls nearby. There is a monthly cinema showing for the community with a café.

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period	The Church continues its involvement with both the local primary school and the sheltered housing complex. The monthly cinema continues to attract people from the community and those attending are encouraged to suggest future films. The friendship group has grown in numbers and bible study groups are still well attended.

Financial review
Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves Details of any deficit Donated facilities and services (if any)
	We continue to transfer funds when available to enable the church to replace our roof (now considerably past its anticipated lifespan) when this is deemed necessary. For the general running expenses of the church, it aims to hold monies in the General Fund equal to six months average expenditure.
