Report from the Trustees for the year ended 30" November 2022 This is a report on the workings of CBT ft)r the financial year to the end of November 2022. The Cornerstone Building Trust wa5 fomied in November 1997 to -provide and maintain premises for Christian worship and the associated activities of Christian teaching and to nurture activities compatible with these objectives". The CBT Trustees look after the buildings to allow the FOL Trustees to do the work of mission and ministry. The church acquired the bungalow and next door garage in August 2000 with a view to converting the garage into a worship buildingi The Well was opened in October 2004 for the congregation of the Fountain of Life Church to use. The Bungalow was also refurbished and is now used by First Steps Preschool and Noah's Ark during the week, as well as by children's and youth gmups on Sundays. In November 2012 there was a further donation that allowed the church to acquire the Stables for office accommodation, as a meeting place and prayer space as well as a residence for staff and interns. Detailed accounts for the year to the end of November 2022 are sent to the Charity Commission along with this report, detailing the breakdown of costs of running the Well and the Bungalow, and also the Stables. The accounts were approved by the Trustees at their last meeting. For the period to end of November 2022 our Gross incoffle from Voluntary Donations, Gift Aid and use of premises was £49,093. Total expenditure was £38,716, leaving a net surplus of £10,377. Income is typically from the regular payments from FOL, along with payments from First Steps and Kidz Klub for the use of the buildings. This year however our income was substantially boosted by a legacy donation that allowed us to pay off the mortgage on the Well and Bungalow. Expenditure was higher than nomjal also due to roof repairs to the Bunaalow costing almost £14,000 last November; we also spent over £2,500 in March on a commeraal dish washer in the Well.
Special thanks are due to the trustees (and others) who give up their time and energy doing the work that is discussed the meetings; there is a significant cost saving when we do work ourselves, rather than asking contractors to come in. There a plans to have work parties over the coming months to help with decoration and general maintenance if any of the congregation want to help. The CBT Trustees are also very grateful to those of you who continue to give financially, especially during this cost-of-living crisis. several donors have been committed to monthly giving ever Sin the start of the building project 23 years ago. Even though the mortgage is paid off now, these donations remain a significant income stream to help maintain these buildings and fvnd future projects. Thank you to all of you. If you would like to consider a one-off or regular giving to the work of CBT please get in touch with the Treasurer. Approved by the trustees. Signed: 1ty/2g. Rev Paul Wilkinson, Chairman IO. April 2023
