Longhorsley Mission Free Church Annual Report 2023
Background to this year’s report.
This is the first year as an independent charity. We have become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation CIO since April 2022 and all assets have been transferred from a previous affiliated charity on 31st Dec 2022.
Income and Assets.
This is explained in our annual accounts. We have received an income of £23995 and an expediture of £26905. In addition we have £222,000 in investments, a church building and side hall and around 40 acres of agricultural land leased to local farmers from which we receive an income outlined in our annual accounts. We have no financial liabilities.
Public Benefit.
Our aim is the advancement of the Christian faith through our church to our locality. We have been able to achieve this in our Sunday services to which all are invited and around 20 to 30 people regularly attend. In addition there are weekly meetings for children from our local school. This is in the form of an After School Bible Club and around 15 children attend. We have a weekly Toddler Group where parents and grandparents from the community are free to attend with their charges. This is provided free of charge. A weekly women’s meeting is attended by 16-20 women from various locations in the area and again no charge is made for the refreshments provided. Four times a year a meeting for all ages is attended by around 40-50 men and women where hymns are sung and a message from the scripture given.
We have an Annual Bible Convention since 1948 held presently in Longframlington Village Hall. It is attended by upwards of 100 people from the NE of England and gives Christian teaching and encouragement to all who attend.
Achievements.
Attendance at all of our activities has increased. We have introduced a new safeguarding policy. This is in line with Government guidance and is regularly updated and reviewed. We have been able to support other Christian Charities locally and globally by giving over £5000 as outlined in our accounts. We provide financial support to our local Churchyard for the maintenance thereof.
