Achievements and performan During the period April 2023 to March 2024 our active membership stabilised at about ICQ.. there continued to be a number of baptisms (mainly within our Iranian attendees) but this Wa5 balanced by numbers of people moving away to other parts ofthe country or attending only occasionally, and we made a change in our definition of "active membership. to reflect this. In keeping with the objertive of promoting spiritual gro4vth. we have continued to make our Services available online. to assist people unable to attend in person- this remains challenging at times because of limited access to Information Technology {ITI and other professional skills, although improvements have been made to the audio-visual system over the year. In January 2024 payments were finally made to a numberof charitable causes for which unspecified "external" collettions had been made over the previous 3 years. in line with the decisions of members on how these funds should be distributed. Financial revlew The cash movements and balances are summarised in the balance sheet. All funds are held in the instant access bank accounts. The Trustees were satisfied at the year end that the funds held were sufficient to meet the continuing needs of the charity. The accounts show the remaining funds have now been transferred from registered chartty 1177040. Approved by the Trustees on 8th Januory 2025 and signed on their behalf by."
