TREMORE CHIUSTIAN FELLOWSHIP TRusr TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT coivrINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE/PIANS FOR THE FUTURE There has been some progress in restoring Tremore Manor, but still more needs to be done. The long- term vision for the use of the house is an unfolding one at this present time. but probably still involving "refuge, retreat and healin. a5 has been agreed in the past. Even in its unfinished state, the house has been used to welcome people. to offer prayer, to come alongside people with theiT PToblerns and to be used as a centre for Christian worship (see below). On I" July 2024. the trustees were glad to welcome as residents in the house two married couples with six young children between them, a third manied couple who were expecting their first child, and one single lady. Three of the adults were siblings. Most of the adults had experience working with Youth With A Mission. Their vision was to live as a Christian community, having "a rhythm OF prayer and worship" and giving Practical and spiritual help in the neighbourhood and beyond. The large garden was used by this ministy (known as "After Your Heart? as a meeting place for groups of young people and families from local churches, to have fun and enjoy Christian fellowship. "After Your Hean" funhered the renovation work on the house for the first few months of their stay. They paid For utilities and council tax. but failed to contribute any income to Trust funds. They maintained that the work they did on renovations at the house was more than envisa8ed at the outset and any request for rent was nor reasonable. (They gave three months. nouce to leave at the beginning of April 2025.) The Church Hall premises have continued to be used by various Christian groups during the year. Tremore's location in the very centre of the counry of Cornwall is an asset. 'The Gathering" is a regular meeting on Saturdays for an infornial ttme of worship, prayer, deep Bible scudy and general encouragement of individuals faang difficulties and challenges of life. Some participants travel long distances to attend, From Devon and from West Cornwall. Sometimes there are invtted speakers. Often there is a brins-and-share meal afterwards. The trustees are involved with these meetings and enurely supportive. A regular meeting on a Tuesday is focused on prayer. During the year, four OT five families have used the Hall and grounds regularly for a time of learning together, fun and sharing a picnic on warnier days. Parents have organized this and supervised it. One of the parents arranged First-Aid lessons for adults and the older young people, in conjunction with the St John's Ambulance.
