Trustees End of Year Review 01/04/2024 to 31/03/2025 This year has been a very positive year for us. 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 now keep the children within the main hall for the duration of our Sunday Church services, they have their lesson in the café area. This works well as it means that parents are on hand should they need to be and the children get to be a part of the church family without being relocated into a separate room. We ran Gather Women’s Conference in June 2024 for our third year and this grew numerically and was a great day. We ran a Safeguarding Day in February 2025 for all those in the Church who would benefit from it to attend. This was an excellent day with really practical and helpful information provided by our Safeguarding Lead. In January 2025 we were able to secure a town centre shop front to become our Life Church Hub. The space needed to be decorated and furnished to enable us to carry out our vision and this took place in the first few months of 2025. It is a really positive move for the Charity and will enable us to connect more with our community. It should be noted that The Hub is on a five year Lease with a three year break clause and notice for the break clause to be effected would need to be given prior to 31[st] December 2026. This Lease is noted from an accounting perspective as a liability. 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. 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.
