## **The Order of Grace Annual Report 1[st] April 2024 to 31[st] March 2025**
_A Christian community practicing Justice, Hospitality, Prayer and Presence_
## **Our Mission**
To embody Luke 4, shaping a community that can be a catalyst for economic and social renewal across our local community.
We are a Christian community embedded within The Grace Network (TGN) based at Brimscombe Mill, Aston Down and Cirencester. We share the same the vision as TGN, our members serve and support the Grace Network community and its associated social enterprises.
With our core practises of Prayer, Justice, (social justice) Hospitality and Presence we aspire to find a way of life that changes not just ourselves but those around us.
## **Summary of year**
During the course of this year The Order of Grace (OoG) has continued to operate from Brimscombe Mill and Aston Down and in addition, now operates from “The Old Department Store” (formally House of Fraser) in Cirencester, home to an additional 4 social enterprises.
Plans are in place for a South Bristol location to be added to the network.
The OoG has appointed leaders at all 4 sites, with the autonomy to develop activities and rhythms that are location appropriate, whilst remaining true to the four practices at the heart of our vision.
Members continue to meet daily for prayer, explore together how to grow in the 4 practices that constitute the ‘Way of Life’ and worship and enjoy hospitality periodically.
## **Financial Review**
Charity expenditure:
- The Grace Fund provides one-off gifts to employees of TGN experiencing specific circumstances causing hardship.
- Other expenditure includes covering events hosting, administration and costs associated with running a charity
Charity income comes from regular giving and donations from OoG supporters
A small surplus has been made during the course of this year and has helped ensure that cash reserves are adequate.
## **The Future**
OoG continues to explore new ways and activities to support TGN in its Luke 4 mission and encourage employees to be involved.
