retumed to the premises. Pasloral care by home vistis. digital a(tess. etc. Son* donat￿n8 and grants
were received to assist in the communty actKJn work.
The key event of 2024 was the sale of our building, the Manna House, at the end of May. This decision
was reached last year as the Trustees and members concluded that the needed repair and restoration

R￿r¥eS policy & golng concern
The truglÈÈs had rÈviÈwÈd the eireumgtan(x of the ch2riiy in Jgftu8ry 2023 and they considèred thai
there weie adequate resoulces available to fund the activities of the church for the immediate futurtr.
However, taking gu￿anCe from a letter of concem to the Trustees from our independent examiner, the
sustsinability of the chanty was deemed to be un￿rtain teyond 12 n￿nthS as we would be heavily
dependent on outside grants to meet the costs of maintaining the current c(Mnmunity programmes,
and we no longer had the appropriate resources to acb.vely pursue such grants. Additionally, there
were urgent concems regarding costs Ihal could anse to cover the maintenance, restoration, and
reftjrbishment ofthe building After due consideration itwas decided that a prowsal to sell the building
should be put to the church members. and this was unanimousty agreed as a course of action. The
sale of the building was finalised in May 2024 and realised an amount of £240,000, wrth costs of
£6,935.
