Trustees, Annual Report for the perlod from 0110412023 to 31103124
Bethany Pentecostal Church
Charity registratlon number: 1052756
Objectives and Activitles
The objects of the Church (the charity) are for the benefit of the public..
a) To advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Belief in such ways and
suGh parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Church Council from time to time may
think fit.
b) To relieve sickness and financial hardship and to promote and PreSe￿e good health by the
provision of counselling and support in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as
the Church Council from the time to time may think fil.
c) To advance education in such ways and such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as
the Church Council from time to time may think fit.
The main activities of the Church (the Charity) in relation to those purposes are:
Regular Church services
Counselling provision for local ward activities.
Provision of paid personnel at reduced 50°/o of cost to oversee and manage the foodbank
within the newly created Bethany Community Outreach
Mission support for Erdington
As can be seen from the aforementioned list of activities the Trustees have had regard for
guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefrt.
The Charity is not a grant making Charity, we therefore have no formal policy.
Due to the low availability of funds we do not have a specific policy on investment. If the
circumstances were to change, this matter would be reviewed by Trustees.
The Church relies on Fts Minister, volunteers and trustees to support and maintain its activities.
Achievements and Performance
The day outreaches in our local area as explained in last year's report now come under the
separate charity Bethany Community Outreach (1171133} who we continue to support.
All our activities continued tc demonstrate the love Df Jesus Christ to those in our locality.

Financial Review
The Church Council recognised because of the fall in church numbers that the unsustainable
mission giving of the past three years needed to be addressed. Bethany Community Outreach
were in a position to contribute to the wages of the personnel that we supply in particular to the
foodbank and for which it could not run without. This has made a great deal of difference as has
the small charges for using the facilities of the church.
The policy of the charity is to hold sufficient funds to meet its commitments up to six months ahead
and to cover the charity's operational costs also up to six months ahead.
The only reserve is the cash reserve held at the bank which at the end of the year was £68,695.
There are no funds in deficit.
There are no uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern.
The principal source of funds are the Church Congregation and use of facilities for community
programrnes. The Congregation who give regularly at church seNices and also exceptionally
make donations for specific needs in line with the objects.
The funds raised have been used to 8UPPOrt the local community by the supply of paid personnel
for the foodbank, which at present couldn't afford to employ a full time or even p8rt time manager.
In consideration of major risks the charity has assessed and will continue to assess the major
risks to which the charity is exposed and in particular to those related to the operations and
finances of the charity and are satisfied that the systems are in place to mitigate their exposure to
these major risks.
Structure, Governanco and Management

The Charity is constituted as a Trust.
