The church leader represents and serves the members and has the responsibility of the day to day running and development of the Fellowship within the objectives of the trust. The Trustees work alongside the church leader, liaising in the financing of activities and causes to best attain the objectives of the Fellowship. However, the Trustees have a duty as to the application of the charitable funds of the Fellowship in a manner that is transparent and accountable to donors, beneficiaries and the public by keeping their information on the public register up to date.
