report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2019. The trustees have |

|
Arch 76 |
Report of the Trustees |
for the Year Ended 31 March 2019 |
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
Objectives and aims |
Values Statement Arch 76 is inspired by the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 22:36-40: |
|
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all |
your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And |
the second is like it: 'Love your neighbour as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two |
commandments. |
|
The Arch is a beautiful, safe and creative space for local women in East London. Within this space we seek |
to offer relationships that are open and transparent as we share our lives together and learn to love one |
another. The Arch is a place where people can come to know that they are loved by God and to explore |
what that might mean and how they can respond to that love. |
|
OBJECTS |
The Charity's Object is to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs mainly |
(but not exclusively) for the benefit of women who are the victims of domestic violence, addictions, |
physical and mental health issues and isolation in East London and the surrounding areas. |
|
The Trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the guidance on public benefit requirements, as set |
out by the Charity Commission in January 2008 and amended in December 2011, when reviewing the |
charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities. |
|
ACTIVITIES |
Arch 76 is a Christian charity providing emotional and spiritual support to women in East London, many of |
whom face considerable challenges such as domestic violence, addictions, physical and mental health |
issues and isolation. Activities include: arts and crafts sessions, optional bible studies, worship and prayer, |
and other sessional activities such as outings and discussion groups. |
|
Arch 76 is currently open from 11am-4pm on Mondays and Thursdays. Women are also sign-posted to |
additional support services where appropriate (e.g. legal, housing and health care services). |
|
Achievements and performance |
During the period to 31 March 2019 the Charity achieved the following: |
|
o There have been longstanding relationships built with 20 women, who have been regularly coming |
regularly for over a year. We have also interacted with around 20 more women, who have either come |
more intermittently of for shorter periods of time. |
|
o We took 12 women from the Arch on holiday to Spain for four days. For many of the women this was the |
first time they had gone abroad either ever, or for a long time. The process involved supporting women |
getting passports and assisting them travelling on the plane. This reflects the growing stability and strength |
of relationships with the women that we feel able to travel abroad with the women, many of whom |
struggled to leave london when we first met them. |
|
o We organised a holiday to Rye, Sussex for the women who did not feel comfortable travelling abroad. We |
stayed in a hotel in Rye, where we spent three days. |
|
o We took the women to a pantomime in Hackney as a Christmas trip. |
|
o We created Arch 76 calenders,which we then sold at the Christmas fair to our supporters. |

Report of the Trustees |
for the Year Ended 31 March 2019 |
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
Objectives and aims |
|
o We had a Christmas fair at a neighbouring church, the Good Shepherd Mission, where we sold Christmas |
craft items and food produced by women from the Arch |
|
o Arch 76 has has a clear support structure for the care and supervision of its volunteers. This includes |
monthly external supervision with a trained, and the opportunity to have 1-2-1 prayer sessions with a |
trained spiritual director. |
|
o Arch 76 has continued to invest in training and support for its team of volunteers, enabling them to |
develop skills and confidence to lead sessions at Arch 76. There were three training days for the whole |
team during the period. These covered relevant issues to equip volunteers for their role at Arch 7, for |
example conflict resolution, johari's window, understanding and supporting people who self-harm and |
working with people who have experienced trauma. |
|
o o Arch 76 worked closely alongside other local services during the period. For example, London City |
Mission, Tower Hamlets Prostitution Coordinator, Growth Night Shelter, Transform Nightshelter for |
women, Whitechapel Mission and Hope Town hostel. Arch 76 also takes referrals of women through a local |
GP's practice - The Mission Practice. This referral route has continued to serve as a valuable link between |
Arch 76 and local women who are isolated and/or struggling with anxiety and depression. |
|
o In addition, Arch 76 continues to work closely with Door of Hope, who use our premises to meet and |
prepare for weekly outreach sessions to women involved in prostitution in the local area. ? |
|
FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Reserves policy |
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use |
should be maintained at a level equivalent to six month's expenditure. At the period end, the charity's |
reserves were sufficient to cover these minimum reserve levels. |
|
FUTURE PLANS |
o Over time, the Charity hopes to develop into a broader group of people, to include local families. In |
particular, we will be looking to connect with refugees arriving in the local area who may feel isolated and |
overwhelmed. We would like to offer them Arch 76 as a place to connect with others and build community |
locally. |
|
o The Charity aims to draw in more local women through outreach and building relationships in the local |
community. One Arch volunteer is also working with women at Hope Town hostel. We are also working |
closely with Door of Hope and hope to increase our collaboration and potentially develop relationships with |
some of the women they work with. |
|
o We hope that we can facilitate and encourage individual women to take more responsibility and be more |
proactive in their decisions including areas of life such as financial, health, work, social and housing. |
