Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity during the year			Twenty students are in receipt of bursaries for their secondary school education at the Training Centre and it is vital that the charity continues to raise funds for the operating costs ofthe school and the centre; so we continue to support as best we can, both financially and prayerfully. One
			former student who received a bursary for university education has	now
			completed his studies and gained a degree.
			The English Church in Benidorm continues to minister to the needs	of
			both residents and visitors. Services are well attended and Trevor	and
			Maggie Ramsey's oversight of the ministry is much appreciated
