## **SHARON FULL GOSPEL CHURCH**
## **TRUSTEES REPORT**
## **YEAR ENDING 31[ST] MARCH 2023**
During the last financial year, the charity has continued to pursue its main aim, which is the promotion of the Christian faith in the local community. It has offered its services to both church members and the wider community. The number of people helped during the year increased from the previous year.
The charity has been sustained by the faithful giving of the church members, and this money has been used to employ three members of staff part-time and maintain the building from which the charity operates.
During 2022/23 the charity merged with another church, Journey Life and the charity was renamed Kingdom Life Manchester. This has resulted in an increase in the activities of the charity, an expansion of volunteers involved and people accessing the services of the charity.
The charity is looking to increase its activities in partnership with other local charities in 2023/2024.
