of the charity,
identifying the
difference the

has made to
the
circumstances
of its
beneficiaries
and any wider
benefits to
society as a
whole.|Hebron’s annual report gives much to thank the Lord for as we reflect on
his work in and through us over the last 12 months. We appointed a
church leader. We have continued to worship, pray, serve, celebrate and
receive from God in many ways over the year. With our vision of every
adult and every child in Long Ashton encountering the love of Jesus, it’s
been wonderful to see Come and See and Kids Club thriving with new
attendees over the year, Saturdads attendance growing again, more
visitors at our Sunday services, lots of guests and friends of Hebron
attending our carol service and BBQ. Thank God for the opportunities we
have had to walk closely with the people of Long Ashton.
Our mid-week small groups and ongoing opportunities to share our
experiences of the Lord in our Sunday services have also been wonderful
as we grow closer to Jesus as he speaks to us through each other.
We’ve continued to work in partnership with our brothers and sisters at All
Saints and have been supported in various ways by Woodlands Church
Family. We’ve supported three Christian charities in prayer and financially
over the year.| ## **Financial Review** |Review of the charity’s

trusts:|| |Type of governing document|The charity operates under a Declaration of Trust dated 18th
June 1945 and the Constitution of Hebron Church (last
update 5thJul 2026)| |How is the charity
constituted?|Trust| |Trustee selection methods
including details of any
constitutional provisions e.g.
election to post or name of
any person or body entitled
to appoint one or more
trustees|There shall be at least four and not more than eight
Trustees. They shall be spiritually mature Members of
Hebron. If the Trustees and Elders and Church leader
jointly ascertain that there are skills or knowledge gaps or
time limitations of the trustees which they are unable to fill
from within the Hebron membership, then they will look to
appoint spiritually mature Christians from outside of the
Hebron membership (whether they attend Hebron regularly
or not). They must be people with values that align with
ours – e.g. a Christian with a passion for local church, but
also that can add skills we are currently lacking. The
process will include obtaining references from at least one
person who is able to comment on their spiritual maturity.
The Trustees appointed from outside of the Hebron
membership (whether they attend Hebron regularly or not)
will account for less than half of the total number of
Trustees. This will allow us to keep the focus on Hebron’s
vision and charitable purpose.| ## **Additional information (optional)** |Policies and procedures
