Section C Objectives and activities The objects of the charity are to advan the Christian religion in the United Kingdom and Spain and in such other countries as the Trustees shall from time to time in their absolute discretion think fit. Summary ofthe objects ofthe charity set out in its governing document During this year the trustees have raised funds to give grants to Paraclete Christian Training Centre in Kuwadzana, Zimbabwe to use to pay salaries for those employed by the training ntre in its Bible School, crèche and secondary school and also to pay bursaries for those children at the school whose families cannot afford their school fees. Grants were also given for the building and equipping of a new office and classroom block at the Training Centre. Two trustees visited the Training Centre in January 2024. Whilst recognising the difficulties of operating in the current economic situation, the finances of the Centre are fairly healthy and the staff and pupils in good heart. The secondary school has expanded its pupil numbers and is operating two teaching sessions each day to accommodate more purpils. Overseas aid from PCNI and others is still important to the Training Centre. The Bible School is going well and new training materials from SEAN have been introduced. Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) The trustees have also continued to oversee the running of The English Church in Benidorm, a spiritual home for many English-speaking visitors, whether short or long term. Revd Trevor Ramsey and his wife Maggie continue to exercise pastoral responsibility. One of the Trustees visited after Christmas Attendance by both residents and visitors continues to increase. Activities at the church have been growing, with good attendance at seNices and Bible studies and evangelistic activity in the neighbourhood of the church. There have been baptisms in the sea and a Christianity Explored course was well attended.

Section D Achievements and erformance Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year Twenty-three 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 of the school and the centre; so we continue to support as best we can, both financially and prayerfully. The new material introduced at the Bible School promises to bear much fruit both locally and further afield. 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.
