## **The Pastures Community Church** 

## **Charity Number 1080711** 

## **Trustees Report   April 2024-March 2025** 

Last year (2023-2024) we ran an operating deficit of around £15,500. This financial year (2024-2025), operating costs were significantly lower since we had completed the refurbishment of our main hall and heating costs were reduced compared to the previous year. Our giving to evangelists and other Christian workers was also reduced to around £5,500. This resulted in an overall operating profit of around £11,500. The cash balance at the start of the financial year was £13,108 and the cash balance at year end was £24,735. 

The charitable aims continued to be met. We proclaimed the Christian message to all age groups and we remained active in the community. We provided a weekly youth club, and a local flower arranging class continued to use our building. Several members of the church also went into local schools to speak at school assemblies. In additional, we continued to run a “Coffee ‘n’ Cake” coffee morning once a fortnight, which is open to the local community and a designated “warm space”. 

The accounts have been examined once again by Mr David Negus, a retired solicitor.
