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'.1). The preservation and proteciion of the family unit is fundamental and children are prized as a blessing from G(Kl. {Psalm 127:&5). The elderly are valued members of the communty, for whom both their family and the vder community are expected to care. Holy Scripture commands us to be gocxj neighbours to others, and deal with all other people (induding former Brelhren) 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 a5 reasonable given our abilities and our available resources.

Funding is sometimes retsived from other charitable trusts wth complementary objectives. Financlal review Flnanclal po8ilion In the year ended 5 April 2025 the Trust had a deficit of incoming resources over resources expended. This was due to granting funds to an assoaated Trust. Totsl voluntary income received this year was £137.116 compared to £166,567 in the previous year. I funds held were unrestricted funds. Reserves pollcy The TTUStees have considered the level of reserves they wish lo retain and have decided to ensure that there are enough reseNes held to cDver day to day expenditure and any urgent needs that may arise. The Trust has no employees and its regular outgoings are minimal. The CngregatIOn is kept regularly infonned 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 r8seNes at the year end were £124,958 (2024 £271,993).
