Financial Review
The Charity has been hugely successful in raising a total income of £56,200 only.
Principal Funding Sources
The principal funding sources for the charity are currently by way of Donations and Gifts from congregants through the offering basket passed during Church services and through and standing orders. We have exercised our right to reclaim the tax on the donations and gifts received from the congregants and this has proved a steady and growing source of additional income.
Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees
The trustees who are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law are in charge of the strategic direction of the charitable trust. Under the requirements of the Declaration of Trust the trustees are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting.
All trustees give their time vouluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity.
Due to the nature of Church work, trustees appointed have been so selected on the basis of their faith, strength of Character, skills set in the area of management and growth, and commitment to the vision of the charity.
Trustees Inducton and Training
Most trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity having been members of the Church for a number of years. Additionally new trustees would be invited as required and encouraged to attend a series of short training sessions to familiarise themselves with the charity and the context within which it operates. These would be jointly led by the Chair of Trustees and the pastor in charge.
o The Obligations of Trustees
o The Main documents which set out the operational framework for the charity including the Declaration of Trust.
o Resourcing and the current financial position as set out in the latest published accounts. o Future plans and objectives.
A Question & Answer pack would be prepared which draws information from various Charity Commission publications signposted through the Commission's guide "the Essential Trustee" as a follow up to these sessions. This will be distributed to all new trustees along with the governing document and the latest financial statements
