Perivale Christian Centre Report of the Trustees For the year Ended 31 January 2024 ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities For the Year Ending 31" January 2024 The assets and liabilities of the previous Trust charity no 293404 were transferred to this st Incorporated Charity at close of business on 31 January 2010. As trustees, we review our aims, objectives and activities each year. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. Our work involves meeting people who we can help through prayer, discussion and using various forn]s of literature. We remain the only Christian Bookshop in a wide locality and continue to play a strong role in supporting our customers with Christian books and materials. Since the pandemic, business levels continue at a lower level than we previously experienced. We still have a predominantly older customer base and continue to look at ways that we can make our services available to a broader segment of the community. We are conscious of ever-increasing costs with energy and fuel which affect our customers and reduce their available money to spend. The sale of bibles and gifts continue to be strong and we see a consistent demand for Communion supplies. Many of our regular customers prefer to visit to view for themselves rather than rely on online purchases. They seek advice especially with regards to Bibles and our sales focus is maintained in the sales of Bibles, childrens books and gifts. Our current stock mix reflects the demand that we experience and therefore a wide range of bibles continues to be maintained. Supply of bookstalls to churches is nom]ally an important way in which we support and assist them in providing Christian Literature to their contacts and congregations. Our contacts with local Churches and Christians have been a means of mutual encouragement and practical help. We are grateful to God that our services have been maintained due to the support of our loyal local Churches and Christians.
Perivale Christian Centre Report of the Trustees For the year Ended 31 January 2024 Our finances continue to operate very tightly, however we maintain sufficient available reserves which have been built over a number of years to assist in times of difficulty. We expect our finances to continue tightly into next year however income should be greater due to the renegotiation of our lease on our rental premises due in April next year. We anticipate that our current tenants, Hope Community Church will renew their lease of the premises in Horsenden Lane South which they maintain as their church premises. We are pleased to acknowledge the Christian outreach work that they maintain there. Our staffing structure consists of Martin Deadman who continues to oversee the work on a part- time basis working in Perivale one day per fortnight assisted by Devon Cowan as Assistant Manager working five days per week. In addition we currently operate with 2 part-time employees and are looking to recruit 2 additional part time workers next year. We are grateful for all those who give their time and energies to the work, including volunteers. Without them it would not be possible to carry on. Some give time to work in the Bookshop, while others give their time and advice in the technical and professional areas. If we had to purchase this technical advice it would cost us many thousands of pounds a year. The Christian Centre and bookshop is valued by many as part of the life of the Perivale community. Reflecting our local nature, one of our four Trustees lives in Perivale with a further one within a five mile radius. We are looking to increase our local trustees over the next 12 months th We are pleased to note that the Perivale Christian Centre celebrates it's 40 Anniversary in November 2024 and look forward to celebrating this with our local churches and customers. As we look to the future, we see challenges and opportunities. As ever we need to trust God to lead and provide for our needs. Martin Deadman
