When planning our activities for the forthcoming year, the Board of Trustees, in conjunction with our President and Management Team, has considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit and in particular the specific guldance on charities for the advancement of rellgion. Specifically, we aim to enable ordinary people to live out their faith withln the communlty they are part of.

Grant Fundingfor International Aid and Relief Projects Working in partnership with other charities, we are pleased to have given grant funding to continue the support of aid projects across East Africa. This has continued financing small water filtration kits, providing clean water. We have also provided emergency relief for displaced individuals who have been affected by the conflict in Ukraine. Grant funding has been given to established charity partners working within these volatile geographies to ensure that funds reach those in most urgent need. This has profoundly transformed the lives of individuals and families in unreached communitles. Leadership Training in Europe This year we have completed six training projects through local church partners in Germany, Denmark, Norway and The Netherlands. We have also run our CSSM course in the UK and in The Netherlands to empower Christian leaders. We continue to foster relationships with church communities across the world and plan to deliver future training to strengthen our mission. Mission and Evangelism The number of international missions has significantly reduced this year in line with a reduction in donations. UK Missions have been conducted through the church in Surrey. The majority of this local attivity has been centred around supporting vulnerable and isolated people. Befriendlng and providing pastoral care grants and support has been a central focus durlng this period, due to the rise in the cost of livlng. Ecumenical Relationships through The Gathering, Empowering individuals to work together in our shad Christian mission is of utmost importance to us. Our UK events called The Gathering have continued this year. We welcome notable speakers from across the Chri5tlan community to speak at these events. We continue to bring together around 200 people every month to grow in fellowship. Due to the success of these events, we have incurred an increased costs of venue hire. We have also relinquished our lease on our property in Wallington in order to run our events in Epsom for increased visibility within the community. Financial Review The Charity reappointed Champ Consultants as its auditors for the period. A copy of the Independent Examiners Report is detailed in the Financial Statements. Income over the period decreased by 430A on the previous financial year. The Charity claimed Gift Aid of £21,274 which brought the total unrestricted income to £124,673.
