KINGSTON EVANGELICAL CHURCH ## MANAGING TRUSTEES REPORT Year ending 5[th] April 2025 The activities of the Church have continued with little variation throughout the year covered by this report. We have been served by visiting preachers each week having been unable to engage the services of a replacement Pastor at the moment. Having obtained an estimate for the proposed extension we considered it beyond our means to proceed. However in progressing getting necessary repairs carried out another builder gave us a quote which was manageable financially. After carrying out due diligence we are proposing to the Members that we go ahead. Safeguarding and financial controls have been reviewed and updated where necessary.
