The advancement of the christian faith in accordance with the doctrinal basis primarily (but not exclusively) by training, equipping and supporting women involved in Grace Baptist Churches. **Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document** The main focus of the GBWA is to run conferences for Christian women, in their local areas. These are held once or twice a year in each region, and women receive bible teaching, relaxation and opportunities for friendship. A weekend residential conference is also held every other year. A magazine is produced twice a year providing a platform for women to share stories and testimonies for mutual encouragement. We have a website and facebook page to keep women informed of upcoming events, and again provide opportunities for teaching and sharing encouragements. The GBWA also seeks to support a nominated charity each year, either in the UK or abroad, whose aims are in line with ours. **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)**

The speaker is Karen Soole and the subject is ‘From here to Eternity’. The conference will consist of teaching and worship sessions, as well as a number of seminars and workshops. 120 women are booked to attend. The Sharing magazine continues to be well received and contains good representation from women in all walks of life. Our nominated charity for 2023/2024 is TAMAR, a charity based in London supporting women involved in sex trafficking. We have invited TAMAR to give updates at a number of our conferences, including the weekend conference in September.
