|circumstances||ofits beneficiaries||reporting<br>period.||
|and any wider||benefits to society as||||
|a whole.||||Attendees<br>support and encourage<br>one another<br>in the||
|||||outworking<br>and study ofthe Christian<br>faith and the||
|||||outworking<br>ofthe charity aims are in evidence<br>through||
|||||this initiative<br>and the regular church gatherings<br>in||
|||||homes. Meetings are open to all and currently,<br>those||
|||||regularly<br>coming are between<br>the ages of 14and 80.||
|||||Our weekly home church meetings have been a hybrid||
|||||of in-person<br>and Zoom gatherings,<br>allowing<br>the less||

|||||attend<br>in person.||
|||||More senior members<br>have been involved<br>in helping||
|||||other community<br>group called Men in a Shed.||
|||||The Church also takes part in an annual<br>national||
|||||Christian<br>Youth Festival promoting<br>the advancement|of|
|||||the Christian<br>Faith; we extend financial<br>support to||
|||||those who need<br>it and subsidise<br>all costs to make<br>it||
|||||accessible to as many local young people as would||
|||||like to attend. As well as our own youth leaders, we||
|||||are able to support the attendance<br>ofadult helpers||
|||||who volunteer<br>their time to serve on various teams||
|||||necessary for the event to run.||
|||||In the reporgng<br>period, the charity supported<br>over 30||
|||||attendees<br>to the festival and witnessed<br>personal||
|||||growth<br>in these young people and young adults which||
|||||assured Trustees that the aims ofthe charity are||
|||||continuing<br>to be met through<br>support ofthis initiative.||
|||||The Zion Trust financially<br>supports<br>registered<br>charities||
|||||that align with the charitable<br>aims &objectives to||
