The Trust’s purpose is the advancement of the Christian faith primarily but not exclusively within Cranford and the surrounding neighbourhood, through the financial support of a full-time minister of the gospel based at Cranford Baptist Church. Robin Asgher has been employed full-time with the Cranford Support Trust since 6 April 2011. Robin Asgher’s role is to fulfil all the duties of a pastor in respect of Cranford Baptist Church including preaching, teaching, leadership, pastoral and children’s and youth work. The present Trustees are: Mr Gary Brady Chairman Mr David Magowan Secretary / Treasurer Mr Andrew Heron Mr Ron Hollands Mr Geoff Maxted The trustees met on 3 occasions in the 12 months covered by this report – on 25 September 2025 and 22 January 2026 and 25 March 2026. Throughout the year, the church met weekly on Sunday mornings and evenings and on Wednesdays for Bible study and prayer. The church ran a children’s and youth club on Friday evenings, a toddler group on Wednesday mornings, and Sunday School on Sundays. Christian literature was distributed in the local community. Robin has taken assemblies in local schools. An Indian (Telagu) church meets in the back hall on Sunday mornings and Robin Asgher has provided some support to its leaders. Asylum seekers staying in a local hotel have been attending the church and some practical help has been provided to them. Over the course of the year, Robin Asgher has also been responsible for pastoral care of the congregation of Cranford Baptist Church. A team of 16 people came from a church in USA to run a Holiday Bible Club in the summer of 2025 for 4 days. Robin has also worked part-time (employed by the Home Office) as a chaplain at the Immigration Detention and Removal Centres in Colnbrook and Harmondsworth, visiting detainees, holding Bible studies, and distributing Christian literature. _David Magowan May 2026_ ||**Cranford Support Trust**
