Trustees
The trustees as named on page I have served throughout the period. except those who have been appointed
or ceased to act as trustees durin8 the current year, as indlcated. New Trustees are chosen by invitation in
order that the Trust may have representation from a wide range of experience from within the body of the
fellowship. We match our skill reqU1￿MentS with knowledge and experience and where there are gaps we
offer appropriate training.
TrusteÈ Indurtlon and Trainlng
There are no spetific pollcies and procedures for inductionltraining of trustees. Trlowever, they are inducted
according to Individual requirement5. A copy of the TnJ5t Deed is Supplied. along wirh the Trust policies and
procedvre5 and copies of recent board mÈetin8 minute5 and accounts. Individual Trustees
roles/respon51bilities are negotiated with all the trustees so that their roles complement each other.

whatsoever including Ibut not by way of limitation)
The preaching and Pfod3mation of the Christian gospel and the tea¢hing of Christian doctrine and principles
The pastoral care of Christian people
The printin8 and distribution of the bible and Christian literature including video and audio recordings or

To establish a Christian centre in Telford as a centre for Christian use and for other charitsble projects as the
trustees may from time to time determine.
The relief of personswho are in conditions of need, hardship or distress orwho are aged or sick.
The 3dv3ncement of education on the basis of Christian prinaples and without prejudice to the generality of
the fore80ing the provisions of such education in any educational establishment and if the trustees so decide
the provision of one or more charitable educational e5tabli5hments for the general education of children or
adults on the basis of such Christian principles.
Throughout the year the trustees have paid due regard to the Charities Commission's guidance on Publi
Benefit and, in particular, the Specific guidance provided to charities for the advancement of religion.
Achievements and Performanie
During the year under review, House of PrayerTrust IHOPI has experienced a modest improvement in
attendance and participation, with stable and gradually increasing numbers at weekly Services and organised
activities. Despite ongoing external challenges, the Church has continued to deliver its charitable objectives
effectivelv.
HOP has strenohened its community en8agement activities, particularly through the WelliArt, Gratitude Café
and Bookends which continues to provhde a welcoming Spare for community interaction and support. Thls
has further enhanced outreach. creating addttional Dpportunities for engagement. inclusion, and social
connection. In addition, the rental of the premises to charitable and community-based organisations has
Increased utili5ation of the soace and extended Hows impact within the local communitv.
65511tr164t£tA)rf2&￿a3f3456r5o .

The Trust remains compliant with its governance responsibilities. All relevant policles and procedures have
been reviewed and rernain up to date, and Trustees and workers receive appropriate Safegtlarding training.
OP also rnaintain5 collaborative relationships with other local ¢hurches and charitable organisations in
Telford, supporting outreach and pastoral care.
Community activities, including art-related inltiative5, refugees 5UPPOrt continue to operate regularly from
the premises. Pastoral care* prayer meetings, and ch.urch-related meetings remain an integral part of the
Trust's activities.
Following the departure from the Life Centre, inStial input from architerts regarding future premises
development has been received and is currently under review, forming part of the Trust's longer.term
strategic planninE.
Future Plans
The year ahead will focus on st3bility, growth, and long-term sustainability. House of Prayer Trust Is currently
holding Sunday services at Duke Street, following the relocation from the Old Hall School. This arrangement
provides greater consistency for worship and activities, though it remains an interim solution.
The Trust's strategic priority is to secure its own permanent premises, which would enable expanded delivery
of its charitable objectives. Owning or long-term lea51ng a dedicated facility would signific3ntly enhance HOP'S
capacity for community engagement, includin8 SUPPOrt groups, educational actlvities. pastoral tare, prayer
meetings, and culttjfal and musical events.
Architectural proposals relating to potential future development are under active consideration. Subject to
feasibility and funding, these plans are intended to support the Trust's mission by providing flexible,
acce5$1ble spaces for both church and wider cornmunity use.
The Trustees remain comrnitted to prudent financial management, good governance, and continued growth
in service to the communitv.
Financial Revlew
The full results of the Trust for the year are set out in the attached financial statement5.
Income decreased from £117K to £77K mainly from decreased incorne from Tithe and Offerings. and rental
Income on Duke Street premises. The total expenses decreased from E106K to £72K. A residual surplus of £4k
was achieved compared to the previous year of £llk. The Trust is still 3 going concern despite the challÈn8e
of moving from the life centre and the changes in the leadership.
Reserves Policy
At this stage of the Trust's life there is little room to addre5$ 3 reserves policy in practlce although an
awareness of the need for one is monitored on an ongoing basis.
Rlsk Poli¢v
The managemènt team conducts an ongoing revlew of major risks as part of its regular monitoring and
reporting.
Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures in regard to Good Practlce Child Protection
Policles. Fire Safety and Health and safety inspections where the Trust's activities operate. Financial risks are
minimlsed by the implementation of procedures for the authorisation of all transartions by the team and
reviews on a regular basis.
