TRUSTEE'S REPORT FOR BRAUNSTONE EVANGELICAL FREE CHURCH FOR PERIOD 1/4/22 - 31/3/23. 

I wish to apologise for submitting this report and church accounts with only a few days to spare but certain responsibilities have been beyond my control. As leaders within the church and trustees of the charitable incorporated organisation, we have striven over the last twelve months to uphold and advance the purposes of the church as described in our church constitution section 3 paragraphs 3.1 1 and 3.1.2 

We are a non-denominational church situated in the heart of a large working class estate on the west side of the city of Leicester. 

We are conservative in our theology but retain, as our founding fathers did in the early 1960's, a keen evangelistic zeal to support our parish both spiritually and materially. 

Our weekly meetings are open to all age groups and backgrounds and Sunday church meals are provided on a regular basis. We seek to entertain and instruct children and young people from the ages of four to eighteen years and set up summer camps for both disabled and able bodied children, young adults and families at a well-established camp site in North Wales. 

A small Christian school make use of our church buildings during term time. Their pupils range from four to sixteen years with a small proportion having special educational needs. 

We also continue to support a Christian charity based in Loughborough who provide long term help to homeless men with drug and alcohol problems. I believe these details represent a true and accurate record of our activities during this last financial year.
