The trustees formally meet at least four times a year, and report key issues and decisions to the church membership on a regular basis.

An Annual General Meeting is held each year to present to the church membership the management, departmental and treasurer’s reports.

In the pursuit of its charitable activities, the trust is in fellowship with the Assemblies of God in the UK, and is a member of the Evangelical Alliance.

Sources of funds

The vast majority of the finances required to fund the activities are raised through donations from church members, supplemented by the refund of income tax from HM Revenue & Customs through the Gift Aid scheme.

Reserves

The Trustees plan to retain a modest level of free reserves (unrestricted reserves that are freely available to the Charity) as a contingency fund against future demands on the Charity, which are, to a certain extent, unpredictable in nature.
