Page 3 ST. AUSTELL GOSPEL TRusr REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022 copinNUED Main Activities and achievements The Trust provides and maintains four Gospel Halls Whe religious meetings are held by the local Brethren communty. Details of the origins, teachings and way of life of the Brethren can be found on their website- www. mouthbrethrenchristianchurch.or and in the schedules to the Trust Deed. The Trusys main achievements this year have been to repay further amount5 of borrowing and to maintain the Gospel Halls pending the lifting of the Covid-19 restrictions as further stated below. It has also encourdged works by the congregation, as described below. The Trustees have also established an Emergency Needs fund for the duration of the coronavirus pandemic and any resultant economic downturn. This is providing limited financial assistance by the way of grocery vouchers to household5, who have experienced a recent and significarlt decrease in income due to the pandemic, such that it is likely to impact on the health andlor welfare of members of the household. The trust has appointed a Local Welfare Panel to manage the application process and to odminister the vouchers to qualifying applicants. Meetin Meetings normally held at the Gospel halls include the Lord's Supper Icommunionl, Gospel preachings. Bible readings and Bible addresses. There is a structured weekly schedule of meetings and, depending on the particular meetin& between 30 and 250 people normally attend these occasions. The meeting5 are attended by the regular congregation and most are open to other properly disposed visitors. The notice board outside the Hall welcomes visltors and displays times of Gospel preachings, along with a telephone number for those seeking further information or help. Gospel tracts. which are distributed by street preachers, also display this infom1ation. Bibles and an extensive range of other Christian reading material are on display at the ha115 and vi5itor5 are free to help themselves. With the commencement of lockdown restrictions in the UK, the Trust ceased using its Gospel Halls. During this year, restrirtions were eased sufficiently to allow the congregation to use the Gospel Halls for the Lord's Supper (Communion) for a part of the time. Such use was conducted in a manner complying with Government guidance, and the Trust intends to continue using the Halls as it is safe to do so. This has amended for the time being the arrangements described under this heading. readin the Gos I messa and the Ilfe of a Christian The Gospel Halls are a base from which the regular congregation and others who attend the meetin8S are encouraged to spread the Christian Gospel, in word and deed. Members of the congregation normally participate in a programme of street preaching and Gospel tracts are provided free of charge by the Chartty to such preachers and to be handed out to interested members of the public. Such preachings previously took place twice a week, but have been of necessity curtailed due to the pandemic, and will be fully resumed when conditions permit. In addition, members of the congregation have undertaken public benefit and outreach work in accord with the Public Benefit Report attached. In carrying out this work, the congregation tonsiders itself to be living out its faith in prartice, as particularly exemplified in the following extract from the schedule to the Trust Deed on Irving a Christian Life=_ We seek and are encouraged to live exemplary lives in all our relationships with others in the wider comm¥Jnity (including former Brethren), in accordance with the teachings of Holy Scripture11 Tim 2:21
Page 4 ST. AU5TELL GOSPEL TRUST REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5- APRIL 2022 CONTINUED readin the Gos el messa e and the lrfe of a Christian Continued We regularly go out from our homes to preach on the streets, to distribute Christian literature and engage with the wider community (including former Brethrenl in order to present eternal salvation, available to all men by frdith in Jesus Christ.12 rim 4:2}- We seek as members of the public to lead Christian lives as husbands and wive5, parents, children, employers. employees and neighbours. Icol 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 member5 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 con5i5tent with these principles, we should give our time, talents and money to asslst those in need in the wider community, in so far as reasonable given our abilities and our available resources. (Matt 7.12, Matt 22.'39. Eph 4=281. Volunteer5 St. Austell Gospel Trust relies on volunteers to carry out the management, administration and, where appropriate. general maintenance work. The Trust has no paid staff or paid Trustees. Fundin Funding is sought through gifts and donations from the congregation.

St Austell Gospel Hall Trust
Public Benefit and Outreach
2021/22
One of the Trust's principal activities that furthers its objects is providing a facility for the coordination of "outreach" work into the wider community .
The Trust's activities have obviously been seriously impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic . The Trust has endeavoured to maintain its outreach activities as far as possible This report includes some of the things we have been engaged in.
Members of the Congregation, acting under the directions of the trustees and with their full and active encouragement, have continued with the "outreach" work which they have carried out for many years.
Gospel tracts and literature available from the Gospel Hall
The Trust maintains a display of gospel tracts, literature and Bibles in the foyer of its principal Gospel Hall and this fact is advertised on the Sign Board at the street entrance
Street preaching’s and tract distribution
During 2020/21 we have been unable to maintain the long standing committal to the open air preaching due to Covid related restrictions. It is however our intentions to restart these preaching as soon as permission is granted.
In general the street preaching is conducted twice a week in Holmbush square, at least 4 person attend the preaching and duing the preaching gospel tracts are distributed. On average 10 tracts are distributed on each occasion. Over 40 Preachers from the community regularly preach and it is our intention to restart this as soon as is appropriate.
