Chairman of the Trustees Report for the Charity Hellesdon Christian Disciples (1066338) 2022
After many years of saving, Hellesdon Christian Disciples has managed to purchase and move into a premises. For this reason, 2022 was marked by an ongoing and concerted effort make the space suitable for use. Thanks to the hard work of our team of deacons and volunteers over the last two years meetings are now taking place in the building. This year we are encouraged to have baptised two adult Christians.
Over the last year we have continued to have weekly Bible teaching and evening services. Our evening service is primarily attended by young families with children.
We run two prayer groups each month. We also provided three social groups to foster support and friendship.
We run a weekly Sunday school, which several children regularly attend.
We ran a carol service for the local community which was held at the local high school, as well as running a carol service in our own building.
Despite widespread financial instability and increasing mortgage rates, our financial position remains strong, with regular donations as well as a regular income stream from our tenant as well as the car wash lease.
Over the course of 2023 there are still improvements needed to the building, which we have set aside money to cover.
We also donated a portion of our income to other charitable causes, as detailed in our annual accounts.
