Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
At Bethel prayer house, our achievements and activities are rooted in prayer and faithful commitment of our church members. Over the past year, the church has continued to serve dedicatedly despite facing substantial external challenges. Worsening economic pressures, the rising cost of living, global conflicts, and natural disasters have created additional hardships. These factors have required our members to remain highly adaptive and responsive to immediate crises, while simultaneously working towards long-term sustainable solutions.
Despite these difficulties, the church successfully maintained its full schedule of weekly services and fellowship meetings throughout the year. This included Sunday worship services, Tuesday prayer meetings, Friday youth ministries, and Saturday sisters' meetings. Through these combined in-person and online ministries, the church positively impacted the lives of more than 100 individuals.
In fulfillment of our charitable objectives, the church provided significant financial grants to other churches in UK, Nepal and India to support their local charitable work. In addition to this regional outreach, the church expanded its evangelical mission internationally by undertaking a dedicated gospel preaching trip to Portugal and Austria to share the gospel and strengthen cross-border ministry. Locally, we extended financial gifts to individuals engaged in full-time ministry, as well as to various UK Churches hosting Youth and Holy Convocations. Local benevolence efforts also included direct welfare support to sick members of our congregation and students facing financial hardship. Furthermore, the church fostered community cohesion by hosting various church-wide and youth outings, which enjoyed near-total participation from our members. Throughout the year, we have remained steadfast in providing prayerful and pastoral support to everyone in need within our community.

## **Section E Financial review**
The trustee’s policy is to maintain a reasonable working reserve to **Brief statement of the** safeguard the church against unforeseen circumstances. This policy is **charity’s policy on reserves** essential given the terms of our lease agreement for our ageing building, which require the church to fund all ongoing maintenance and operational running costs.
Notable capital expenditure during the financial year included the successful refurbishment of our Car park. As of 5 April 2026, the church’s total reserves stood at £133,586. This balance accounts for a £40,000 concessionary loan extended to another church for property acquisition. The trustees have verified that making this interest-free loan does not compromise the church’s ability to cover its own building lease liabilities or operational costs. Looking ahead, the trustees intend to utilize these reserves to acquire property in the near future, aiming to provide essential accommodation for individual in need.

- All monies collected are recorded for accounting purpose. All donations and church activities are made to advance the Christian faith for the public benefit in accordance with the constitution.
