## Trustees’ Annual Report for the period From. 1[st] Nov 2023 Period start date. To 31[st] Oct 2024 Period end date Charity name: Network of Thai Christians ## Charity registration number: 1192104 Objectives and Activities ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its

Thai people into the network.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or

accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|Regional fellowship meetings in believers’
homes continued. Two fellowship days; one
in March (Manchester) and one in October
(Birmingham) were held in non-residential
settings to allow larger group fellowship to
take place.
Summer camp took place at the Pioneer
Centre, (near Kidderminster) to enable all
UK believers to come together. The venue
provides full board and therefore reduces
the burden on food preparation. The camp
provides the ability to support new
believers as well as offer comprehensive
Bible teaching.| |Statement confirming

Trustees met with Stephen Hingston on 20
May to review progress in our governance.
He commended the CGC code (Rowntree)
document that we have used since 2020 to
underpin our governance. His summary
recommendations were:

That our main priority as trustees is to
focus on Risk and Safeguarding.

We should take some tme to write
down, and agree, a simple statement
of our Organisatonal Purpose (p4 of
CGC doc) and review it once a year.

That we consider a statement of
governance thinking that could be
relevant to us ..**“actvity is more**
**important to NTC than income”**

To consider the**specifc difculty**faced
by any trustees in steering the
organisaton through the transiton
from Founder Leadership to the next
generaton of leaders

To consider why our trustee board was
only 3 people and only included white,
male with their limited skill sets.
**_On 20 May, David Robinson founder and Chair_**
**_of NTC Executve, announced to the trustees_**
**_that he intended to retre by the end of 2025_**
**_and only keep certain roles such as writng the_**
**_monthly teaching material for the regional_**
**_fellowship groups …._**
**_This opened up an opportunity, and willing_**| Essi ty Int ern al _**response, from the NTC executive committee to take on many of the responsibilities and this has resulted in the formation of an experimental new structure where three roles were created; Finance, Admin and Pastoral Care, each with a champion appointed from the current committee. These people were assured that they would continue in these roles beyond their natural re-appointment dates in order to offer stability in transition**_ ## Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |

I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
