## Hayat Ministries 

End of Year Report and Accounts Year ending 31[st] December 2024 



## Charity Information 

**Trustees:** Tanas Alqassis Nigel Nicholson (Chairman) David Taylor New trustees are appointed by the existing trustees. **Governing Document:** “Foundation” Model Constitution **Charity Registration Number:** 1157140 **Registered Office:** 46 Ravenswood Crescent Harrow HA2 9JN **Bankers:** HSBC Objects 

The objects of the CIO are: 

1. To relieve poverty and sickness thereby demonstrating the Christian faith in particular but not exclusively by providing, assisting or working through selected partner organisations in the provision of education, training, healthcare projects and support designed to enable individuals to generate a sustainable income. 

2. To advance the Christian faith for the benefit of the public through: 

   - a. The training and encouragement of Christians in practical methods of sharing their faith through lectures, seminars, and individual tuition. 

   - b. To encourage Christians to grow in their faith through the holding of Bible studies, lectures, seminars, and individual tuition. 

   - c. The production and distribution/broadcast of messages of an evangelistic and teaching nature. 

## Aims and Objectives 

The two foundational principles of Hayat Ministries are that the Christian Faith itself brings immediate benefits to its followers but also that there is a requirement for Christians to demonstrate their faith in practical ways - “By their fruits you will know them” as the Bible puts it. 

The long-term aims are therefore to work with organisations in poorer countries which are actively demonstrating their faith through practical work amongst the poor and oppressed, whilst also building the Church through the usual means of teaching and preaching etc. These organisations can often best be helped by the provision of much needed funds and a primary function of Hayat Ministries is to be a channel for such funds from the UK to the projects where they are needed. An example of this is the child sponsorship programme.

## Activities in 2024 

After the exceptional level of donations received in 2023 it was anticipated that giving would be significantly lower than 2023, but the onset of conflict between Israel and Hezbollah brought Lebanon back into the news, for all the wrong reasons, and duly increased Life Center donations later in the year. These donations were directed towards the projects the Life Center put in place to support refugees fleeing north from the conflict zone in the south. The church pulled out all the stops with a feeding programme, and opened the church building so people could use the facilities to wash and shower. 

As mentioned in last year’s report funding was also provided to pay for a part-time administrator to help with funding applications for the Life Center. The person employed has excellent English and has also been a great asset in producing regular newsletters so supporters are kept well informed. 

## Plans for 2025 

There are no new initiatives planned for 2025 at this time. Support for the existing work of the Life Center will continue as funds permit, and we will respond to new initiatives as they arise. 

## Financial Review 

## Reserves Policy 

The intention, as previously, is to hold the current unallocated funds in reserve for promotional activities and any other targeted activities which will provide a return on the investment. This will not necessarily be in financial terms. An example from previous years was using the reserves to pay for Rev. Dib’s visit to the UK. The reserves will not, except under exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the trustees, be used for general grants to supported projects or other causes. 

## Funds in Deficit 

There are no funds in deficit in the current accounting period.
