(Chairl, Robert Ferns, lan Jukes and Mafk Reynolds continue. lan lukes stepped back from Eldership
owing to work commitments leaving Mark Reynolds as the sole elder Inon salaried). responsible for
the spiritual leadership of the church. We employ a part time administrator for 16 hours per week.
The trustees have met regularly through the year and are involved in ensuring payments are made
within ag￿ed budgets. Dayto day running expenses are budgeted for and monitorEd regularly.
Commitments a￿ only made after full discussion a5 to their implications and risks.
We continue to see church members being generous in giving regularly and, not having a paid church
leader, we utilise the saving made to enhance the support we give to vulnerable and financially
challenged families in our community. We reviewed our commitrnent to and continue to financially
support a church in Lesotho. We review all giving annually.
We continue to own and operate The Old Gospel Hall.
Hope Church is part of "Commission" in the New Frontiers family of churches. This gives a wider
context for decision making and accountability- We give monthly Ènto their costs.
Trustees responsibilitre5.

4. Safeguarding. We have a policy in place and all necessary DBS checks are up to date.
5. Major risks other than financial are supported by our relationship with our regional apostolic input
