The Charity's objects and its principal activity is the teaching of the bi￿1¢ and assisting in the development of our congregation's faith. It also coniinues to striv¢ towards th¢ itnprov¢m¢DI of family aDd individual wellbeing and the development and monitoring of yOUDg people in tb¢ ar ACHtEVEMENTS ID 2022, the ¢barity eottlitiued its church ￿1vitieS ofj Teesside.

The churcb also moved its base froDJ Stockton to Middl¢sbrougb during the year to eDable it 10 continue io offer two services each Sunday at a tim¢ wb¢n pr¢mi5¢s costs and the cost of utilities were increasitig sigmficantiy. DuriDg the year the cbvrch in Tar￿ Estonia (AmaDng GAee Tartu) coniitiued to grow alld estsblisb itself ID its new pr¢mis¢s in th¢ City fXDtr¢. 2022 also saw the ¢huT¢b leaders travel on Ininisty trip5 to Sweden. Sparn and Estonia TwhTch enabled fijrtber developrDeot of relationsbips with ¢bur¢bes and leader5 Ove￿￿. Further trips in 2023 alld beyond are plattned with the view to grow this area of ¢h¢ cbatity's int¢rnational missionary wo The ChaTity sbow¢d a d¢fi¢it on ullrestiic*d funds of £35.866 {2021.. £2A631) for the year. Reservtt Poiiey The aitu of the Charity is to secure fre¢ reserves to the valu¢ of around £25.IKM) per annum thal would facilitate rnteruatiollal miSSiOD growth. At preseni the reserves do Dot reach this targ¢t and the Tr￿￿tte& arc looking at way5 of increasing reserves. Ai the year end the Charity l￿d negative free Te5erv¢s (UDr¢stri¢ted T¢s¢rv¢s le&8 th¢ amount inv¢sted iti fixed a&sets) of £62.173 (2021: £28.390). Durittg the year we have seen a cootiDwation of reduc¢d l¢v¢l of donations to a Stnaller con￿gation than in previous years in the UK church. although we have seen an incrtase in donations in 2023. The main Contributor to the deficit ID Utuestricted funds is due to Fu'gh premi￿ wsts whicb led to the rtiove from Stockton to Middlesbrougb detsiled above. This will save ¢ir¢a £39.000 per aonum ID s¢rvic¢ charge atKI in5uran¢¢ costs plus around £6,(W in utilities. The replxeuKnt bir¢ wsts ar¢ circa £8,5(Kl w aDnum. The significant creditor balance at the previous year end continued to be of concern and focus for the trustees. This focus led the Charity to agree and sign Into a Settlement As￿emellt with the creditor, removing the possibility of the creditor calling in payment attd allowitig the Charity io focus on its objectives and the Tnjstees to foeus oll growing income. They have a￿eed an arrangemettt to pay with the tnain trade ¢T￿lItOr arrears of £67.918. Payinents will Ee made for 60 months totally £31.120 (£518.66 per month) and then the remaining outstanthng balall￿ will be writtett off by th¢ supplitt.
