Trustees End of Year Review 01/04/2023 to 31/03/2024
This year has been a positive year. Church life returned to a more normal year following the strange pandemic years.
We continue to rent space at Edgar Hall for Sunday Church and Tot’s Life Parent & Baby Group – this works well for us and provides a modern, safe and well equipped space which we are very grateful for.
We use a separate upstairs room for Children’s Church and two DBS checked adults run this together each week – the children remain in Church for worship and then have a time of age appropriate teaching.
We ran Gather Women’s Conference in June 2023 for our second year and this grew numerically compared to our first one and was a great day.
We launched an Alpha Course in January 2024 – and this was a great success resulting in two salvations.
Financially the Charity is stable with a good income which covers all our expenses.
Our Trustee Team is excellent offering different skill sets and we meet quarterly but also see one another in the Church setting. We held a Trustees Safeguarding Session run by Thirty-one Eight to refresh ourselves on all things safeguarding and our responsibilities.
All our policies and procedures have been reviewed within this financial year and are up-to-date and we are fulfilling our vision and purpose as set out in our Governing Deed.
