## **Street Preaching in Grimsby**
Street preaching has remained a regular part of our public witness, taking place at **Victoria Street, Grimsby** on weekdays, generally once or twice a week around midday. While not a daily activity, this consistent presence offers the opportunity to share the Gospel message openly in the heart of the town and to engage directly with any members of the public who wish to listen or speak further.
## **Gospel Literature and Tract Distribution**
The Trust has continued to make **Bibles, Gospel tracts, and Christian literature** available free of charge for members of the congregation to share with friends, neighbours, and members of the public.
This literature is often handed out during street preaching or given in more personal, one-to-one settings. A stock of these materials is kept at the Westward Ho Gospel Hall for ongoing use.
Any enquiries received by the trustees, or directed to the congregation, are followed up and where appropriate, individuals are signposted to the following website, which offers Gospel material for purchase or free download in multiple languages:

This includes donations to schools, community centres, and food banks, as well as assistance at major community events.

## **Case Study: Nee Naw Day 2024 – Serving the Community**
On **24th August 2024** , volunteers from Haven Gospel Hall Trust supported the annual **“Nee Naw Day”** hosted by **Humberside Police** at **Cromwell Road Police Station** . This event brings together emergency services and the public in a family-friendly day of community engagement and learning.
Working in partnership with the **Rapid Relief Team** , our volunteers prepared and served **672 hot meals** —including burgers and sausages—free of charge to attendees. The event was supported by a dedicated team who worked throughout the day to ensure that every visitor received not just a meal, but also a warm and friendly welcome.
This was the fifth consecutive year of our involvement in Nee Naw Day, and it continues to be a highlight in our community outreach calendar. It provides an opportunity to support and honour local emergency services, while also engaging positively with the wider community.
## **Confirmation of Public Benefit**
The Trustees of Haven Gospel Hall Trust confirm that they have **complied with their duty under Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011** to have due regard to the
**5 | P a g e Westward Ho, Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire**
## **Haven Gospel Hall Trust**
Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. All activities outlined above have been undertaken in pursuit of the Trust’s charitable purpose and with a view to serving both the spiritual and practical needs of the community.
## **Ongoing Christian Witness**
Beyond formal events, members of the congregation continue to engage in everyday acts of service and witness—whether through sharing the Gospel message in conversation, distributing literature, or providing practical help to those in need.
The Haven Gospel Hall remains a central place from which this work is coordinated and supported, ensuring that the Trust’s mission is carried forward into the coming year.

addresses. There is a structured weekly schedule of meetings and. depending on the particular meeting, between 40 and 600
people normally attend these occasions.
The meetings are attended by the regular congregalion and most are open to other properly disposed visitors. The notice board

seeking further information or help. Gospel tiacts, which are distributed by street preachers. also display this information.
Bibles and an extensive range of other Christian reading material are on display atthe halls and visitors are free to help
themselves.
SpreadingtheGospel messageand the life of a Christian
The Gospel halls are a base from which the regularcongregation and others who attend the meetings are encouraged to spread
the Christian Gospel, in word and deed.
Members of the congregation participate in a programme of street preaching and Gospel tracts are provided free of charge by
the Charity to such preachers to be handed out to interested members of the public.
In carrying out this work, the congregation considers itsell to be livingout its faith in practice, as particularly exemplified in the

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 etemal salvation, available to all men by faith in Jesus Christ.
12 Tim 4..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 preseNation and protection of the family unit is lundamental and children are prized as a blessing from God. (Psalm
127-3-51. The elderly are valued members of the community. forwhom both their family and the wider community are
expected to care.
Holy Scripture commands us to be good neighbours to other5. and deal with all other people (including 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 ourabilities and our available resources. (Matt 7'.12,

Funding
Funding is sought through gifts from the congregation and GiftAid is claimed on ÈligiblÈ donations. Funding is sometimes
received from other charitabletrusts with complementary objectives.
Financial Review
In the year ended 5 April 2025 the Trust had a surplus of incoming resources over resources expended.
Total voluntary income received this year was £103,768 compared to £104,826 in the previous year.
All funds held at the end of the currentfinancial year were unrestricted. Atthe end of the previou5 financial year, £28.449 was
held as restricted funds designated for capital expenditure on the refurbishment and maintenance of the Westward Ho Gospel
Hall. Duringthe current financial year. this £28.449 wastransferred from restricted funds to unrestricted funds.
Reserves Policy
The Trust's reserve5 con51St of111 land and buildings used a5 the Gospel Hall and121 cash intended to coverthe costs of potential
new buildings or refurbishments. The trustees have agreed that the Trust should aim to develop and maintain unrestricted
reserve5 at a minimum level which equates to 12 months, operating costs. This would enable the trust to continue its activities in
the event ofa sudden loss offunding. However, the members of the Congregation have always recognised their responsibility to
fund the running costs of the places of worship which they regularly attend. Therefore the trustees do not expect a shortfall in
funding to be other than temporary. Free reserves accumulated in excess ofthe minimum can be used at the discretion ofthe
trustees for the strategic development of the Trust. The trustees will review the minimum level of reserves every three months.
Free Reserves at the yearend were £82.42712024.' £22.0511.

the origins, teachings and way of life ofthe Brethren can be found on the website- NI.plYmOUthbrethren(hristi8nchurch.0rg

Plansforfuture periods
Despite the increased cost of energy. the trustÈès feel that these increased costs are not significantly impacting on thè ability of
the charityto continue as a going concern
Meetings
Meetings held at the Gospel halls include the Lord's Supper (Communion), Gospel preachings, Bible readings and Bible
addresses. There is a structured weekly schedule of meetings and. depending on the particular meeting, between 40 and 600
people normally attend these occasions.
The meetings are attended by the regular congregalion and most are open to other properly disposed visitors. The notice board
outside the Hall welcomes visitors and displays the times of Gospel preachings, along with a telephone number for those
seeking further information or help. Gospel tiacts, which are distributed by street preachers. also display this information.
Bibles and an extensive range of other Christian reading material are on display atthe halls and visitors are free to help
themselves.
SpreadingtheGospel messageand the life of a Christian
The Gospel halls are a base from which the regularcongregation and others who attend the meetings are encouraged to spread
the Christian Gospel, in word and deed.
Members of the congregation participate in a programme of street preaching and Gospel tracts are provided free of charge by
the Charity to such preachers to be handed out to interested members of the public.
In carrying out this work, the congregation considers itsell to be livingout its faith in practice, as particularly exemplified in the
following extract from the schedule tothe 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 etemal salvation, available to all men by faith in Jesus Christ.
12 Tim 4..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 preseNation and protection of the family unit is lundamental and children are prized as a blessing from God. (Psalm
127-3-51. The elderly are valued members of the community. forwhom both their family and the wider community are
expected to care.
Holy Scripture commands us to be good neighbours to other5. and deal with all other people (including 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 ourabilities and our available resources. (Matt 7'.12,
Matt 22'.39, Eph 4'.281.

Funding
Funding is sought through gifts from the congregation and GiftAid is claimed on ÈligiblÈ donations. Funding is sometimes
received from other charitabletrusts with complementary objectives.
Financial Review
In the year ended 5 April 2025 the Trust had a surplus of incoming resources over resources expended.
Total voluntary income received this year was £103,768 compared to £104,826 in the previous year.
All funds held at the end of the currentfinancial year were unrestricted. Atthe end of the previou5 financial year, £28.449 was
held as restricted funds designated for capital expenditure on the refurbishment and maintenance of the Westward Ho Gospel
Hall. Duringthe current financial year. this £28.449 wastransferred from restricted funds to unrestricted funds.
Reserves Policy
The Trust's reserve5 con51St of111 land and buildings used a5 the Gospel Hall and121 cash intended to coverthe costs of potential
new buildings or refurbishments. The trustees have agreed that the Trust should aim to develop and maintain unrestricted
reserve5 at a minimum level which equates to 12 months, operating costs. This would enable the trust to continue its activities in
the event ofa sudden loss offunding. However, the members of the Congregation have always recognised their responsibility to
fund the running costs of the places of worship which they regularly attend. Therefore the trustees do not expect a shortfall in
funding to be other than temporary. Free reserves accumulated in excess ofthe minimum can be used at the discretion ofthe
trustees for the strategic development of the Trust. The trustees will review the minimum level of reserves every three months.
Free Reserves at the yearend were £82.42712024.' £22.0511.
