Unending Light 89 Holmrook Road Carlisle CA2 7TQ
Annual Report
In accordance with its constitution, gifts to Unending Light were invested in company shares, and so the charity generates its income on an ongoing basis from dividends paid by these investments in company shares. This enables a steady source of income for grants to other charities.
The object of Unending Light is: ‘The advancement of the Christian religion in England and Wales, in accordance with the statement of faith, by providing grant funding for evangelistic Christian outreach activity; and the distribution of evangelistic Christian literature.’ There is another charity, called United Beach Mission (UBM) (registered charity 273912), their focus is the provision of Bible stories & songs (mixed with activities) for children on the beaches during the summer – for free. However, their volunteers need to pay to participate, and so the current grants of Unending Light are aimed at reducing the amount UBM volunteers need to pay to serve in manner. All the dividends from the investment held by Unending Light have been given to UBM, and a letter acknowledging how those gifts were used during their 2023 summer programme is attached.
