We are set up to further Evangelical Christianity throughout England through grant making and Christian education, especially for the training of evangelical Christian leaders. We give financial help to individuals to enable them to receive evangelical Christian education and training.
People do not have to be members of the organisation in order to benefit – our criteria are based largely on the individual’s potential for current and future Christian ministry and leadership.
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)
Our trustees have read and always have regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. We examine our plans for the year, in terms of the number of individuals to support through grants, and how they qualify for such support in light of this guidance at our trustees’ meetings.
Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)
We are grateful for the help received from volunteers, particularly in the administrative process while running the charity and its banking facilities, and we hope to have continued help in the future.
On occasion we may not issue grants if there are no suitable candidates available.

Section E Financial review
In this fifth year we have managed to retain a reserve from the higher Brief statement of the positive balance at the end of last year. We do see the benefit of keeping charity’s policy on reserves a reserve to guard against the loss of a regular donation or a ‘trough’ in the level of expected donations. But the number of supported individuals can vary from year to year
Details of any funds materially in deficit
none
