The Freedom Centre
Roport of the Tru$ts•$
for thè Yoar End￿ 10 Do¢•mb•r 2024
We are once again indebt8d to Lydla House TTUSt for the use of the building on a Sunday for our services on a no
charge basis. Our weekly offerings have been affected due to people not carrying cash although we have tried to
mitigate this by having a card machine available for people to use after the seNice. Our service numbers have
continued to grow with new families ioining our Sunday worship services.
Leadershlp and Staff
The Iwstees corporately hold responsibility for the financial health of the church but the day to day r6sponsiblllty
is held by the senior pastors and assistant pastors. Their role is one of spiritual leadership, direction and the
logistical and administralive responslbilili8s ar8 held by the vision team. Trustee meetings are attended by the
trustees and the senior pastors. Due to the high usage and eventual breakdown of the senior pastors car during
the year we were also able to glft £10.000 towards getting them a more reliable car.
The trustees are continuing to look to be able to transition the senior pastors to a more wider role and during
2024 will be advertising for a lead pastor to support the staff and leadership as the church moves forward.
For8ign Missions
The senior pastors did not travel during the year to the Far East on behalf of the freedomcentre bLrt travelled to
the United Slates for a conference. Once again we enjoyed th8 ministy of varlous leaders from India during the
year.
Freedom Tots, Kids and Youth
This mlnlsiry has exploded in numbers and we are indebted lo the leaders of these groups for lh8 work they do
with the young people on a weekly basis.
In closing
The trusteos would like to say a huge Ihanks for the support of all the partners to the charily who give their time
and their resources in such a wonderful way. We would also like to place on record our deepest thanks to the
Senior PaslorslFounders, The Vision Team and Ihe Assistant Pastors for th8ir generous sèrvice and support.
The charity is blessed to have such a wonderful group of volunteers to support all that the charity is endeavouring
to achieve.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectlves and alms

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial posltlon
Income for the year was £132,364 which was a 44D/o increase on the prior year. The charity remains reliant on
generous contributions and regular givlng from individuals bul the move towards a cashless soclety d08s impact
on collections r8ceived.
Expenditure for the year increased to £109.793 whl¢h was an decrease of 4.5°/tt on the prior year and together
wilh the decrease in income resulted in a surplus for the year of £22,571.
The trustees continue to review costs carefvlly without cutting unduly.
Closing fvnds were £53,015. These are unrestricted and maintained in order to fund working capitsl needs, to
fund unexpected expenditure, for example when projects overrun or unplanned events occur and to fund
shortfalls in income, when Income does not r8ach expected levels. This was the cas8 this year.
Thi5 approach is based on an understanding of the income streams and their rlsk profile. the degree of
commitment lo expenditure and the overall risk environment in which Ihe Charity operates.
