Building up the Faith of Christian Believers, Training, and education.
Attendance at Church gatherings and life groups remained steady throughout this period.


Relieving the poor, those in need and the sick.
Antrim Coast Vineyard Church actively seeks ways to bless and practically serve our community, especially the poor, those in need, young and old, including those who are outside our church community. Examples of this are as follows:-

Sparrow Centre (Antrim Coast Vineyard)
In early 2022, the Church identified a need for providing a hygiene store where the community can visit to avail of free personal care and hygiene items. A lease of additional premises was secured for the purpose of providing this service at Unit 2, LEDCOM industrial estate Larne and the doors opened on Friday 7 October 2022.

Refresh, our hygiene store in The Sparrow Centre is stocked with a wide selection of basic toiletries and laundry products. We believe everyone within our local community has the right to feel clean, and with an emphasis on dignity, Refresh also provides other items (such as haircare, skincare, and makeup products). Refresh is stocked entirely by local donations, from community, friends, and supporters - people who are passionate about working together to provide accessible spaces of dignity and hope.

Affording dignity means our service is on a non-referral basis, though referrals from community partners are welcome. Individuals & families are invited to pick up whatever items they need, free of charge, no referral necessary. We work closely with Larne Foodbank, Home Start, Sure Start, Larne Community Fridge and other local organisations. Currently we open 3 times per week. Since launching, we have given out more than 2,000 toiletry products, helping over 200 individuals with poverty hygiene.


OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Community Engagement and Support

Sparrow Centre (Antrim Coast Vineyard)
As above, the Church has identified a need for providing free personal care and hygiene items to the local community and opened additional premises in October 2022 for the purpose of providing these services.

The overarching aim of Council's strategic approach to community development is that The MEA Council area is recognised as a place where the community and partner organisations work together cohesively and effectively to improve the quality of life of residents.

Through The partnership collaboration of the group, The Sparrow Centre is working together with others to improve the quality of life for the local Larne and Antrim Coast area.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Employment
The Charity currently employs Senior Pastor Andrea Howard on a part time basis, 10 hours per week.

Investment Policy
The constitution of Antrim Coast Vineyard Church authorises the Trustees to make and hold investments using its funds. Cash balances are currently held with the HSBC Bank.

Reserves Policy
The Trustees who served in this period have undertaken the work of the charity, identified the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that all appropriate policies are in place to mitigate these risks. During the current year, the income was less than the expenditure however Antrim Coast Vineyard maintains reserves in order to cover fluctuations in income and expenditure, and to allow for any major unexpected expenditure, or to mitigate any decline in the overall financial environment.

CARRYING ON OUR WORK

The Senior Pastors and the volunteer team of Antrim Coast Vineyard Church will continue to build on the work that is already happening in the church in order to follow God, to form an authentic community of believers and fulfil the Kingdom ministries left to us. We desire to intentionally see lives transformed by Jesus starting with our own. We will continue to grow our outreach projects, working with the poor in Larne, Antrim coast and surrounding areas, both practically and relationally and we will continue to serve our community as a whole.

We will continue to support our connected charities locally, nationally, and internationally by way of ongoing financial and giving support.

We will continue to operate as a "Come as You Are" church and always seek to make room for another.

As the charity's trustees (and also the directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

The examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as charity trustees concerning any such matters.

My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe:
