In addition to street preaching, members of the congregation also undertook further public outreach activitie5 which are detailed in a separate appendix to this report In carrying out this work, the congregation considers itself to be living out its faith in practice, as particularly exemplified in the following extract from the schedule to the Trust Deed on living a Christian life.. We seek and are encouraged to live exemplary live5 in all our relationships with others in the wider community lincluding former Brethren), in accordance with the teachings of Holy Scripture11 Tim 2..21. We regularly go out from our homes to preach on the streets, to distribute Christian literature and engage with the wider community (including former Brethren) in order to present eternal salvation. available to all men by faith in Jesus Christ. 12Tim4:21. We seek as members of the public to lead Christian lives as husbands and wives, parents, children, employers, employees and neighbours. (Col 3.'22-25, Col 4'.11. The preservation and protection of the family unit is fundamental and children are prized as a blessing from God. (Psalm 127.3-51. The elderly are valued members of the community, for whom both their family and the wider community are expected to care. Holy Scripture commands us to be good neighbours to others, and deal with all other people lincluding former Brethren) openly, honestly and fairly and consistent with these principles, we should give our time, talents and money to assist those in need in the wider community, in so far as reasonable given our abilities and our available resources.

Financial Review In the year ended 5 April 2025 the Trust had a surplus of incorning resources over resources expended. Total voluntary income received this year was £190,604 compared to £116,933 in the previous year. All funds held were unrestricted funds. Reserves Policy The Trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs, based on its size and the level of its financial commitments. The trust is currently seeking to acquire another property to meet the needs of the congregation, and is therefore holding an elevated level of reserves, however on an ongoing basis, the trustees have decided to adopt a policy of maintaining no significant reserves. The congregation is kept regularly informed as to particular needs for funds, and other relevant matters and the Trustees aim to ensure that the Charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure, by raising a funds appeal to the congregation. Free Reserves at the year end were £127,50412024: £44,191) Trustees Report& Unaudited Fin3ncial Statements L3nsdowne Gospel HallTrust 26 Sept 2025 Page 6 of 19 Reportofthe Trustee5 Statement of Trustees Responsibilities The trLJStees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards Iunited Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
