Aims and organisation I n order to meet its Objects, the Fareham Church of Free Seventh-Day Adventists is established to advan￿ the Christian faith, raise awareness of poverty and promote a healthy lifestyle. The Church operates primarily but not exdusively in the Borough of Fareham. The Spiritual leaders (Pastors, Elders, Deacons and Deaconesses) supported by the Trustees, run the church, and are unsalaried. 4. Review of activities and achievements. The main achievements for 2024 include the following: 1 . The weekly Church servI￿s continues to attract interest from people in the local and wider communty. 2. There has been wider interest from the public in our provision for online bible studies. This is a continuing area of growth. 3. The church's prayer ministy is expanding, as we continue to re￿1ve prayer requests from people within the local and wider communty who have diverse needs impacting on their health and well being. 4. Throughout the year we continue with the provision of online seminars for the public benefit. These seminars cover various topics related to health and well-being. The seminars also include topics related to the prolrferation of scientific and technological advan￿ments impacting our everyday lives, to provide strategies on how we can cope with all these changes. 5. The church held a special gospel cOn￿rt early in the year, in aid of trie homeless. There was also a Harvest Thanksgiving servi￿ in the autumn. 6. The church continues to provide various evangelistic reSoUr￿S for the public benefit in meeting the spiritual needs of the people we engage within the communty. In considering the above activities and for future plans, the trustees continue to ensure that they are carried out for the Public benefit in accordanEe with the Charity Commission's general guidance. 5. Review of financial activities and affairs In this reporting period a totsl of £25,420 was received from the church members and supporters who continue to give generously to the aims of the church. The income re￿iVed went towards evangelism, building and ground maintenance, mortgage payments and general tunning expenses. The rise in the cost of living has contributed to a notable increase in rising costs for the utilty bills. Repair and Maintenan￿ costs were less this year for general upkeep compared to the previous year, which had a high volume of essential Maintenan￿ work carried out to meet health and safety requirements. 6. Plans for the Future The focus for future sustainability is to continue to build on the outreach programmes including continued emphasis on promoting health and well being for all, as discussed above and providing further opportunities such as "drop in "sessions. for a chat, in support of the public benefrt. We remain committed to ensure general repairs, Maintenan￿ and essential improvements are carried out to the church building and grounds, as ne￿SSary to meet health and safety requirements. 7. Approval The Trustees approved this report October 2025. A STEWART (On behalf of the Trustees)
