## The trustees during 2024/25 were:
Eveleen Kwesiga Derrick Giles James Kwesiga
Trustees are appointed for a term of two years by a resolution passed at a meeting of the Spiritual Leadership. Trustees meet four times a year, with a planned structure in place to ensure appropriate governance of the charity’s resources. These meetings ensure there are mechanisms in place to monitor all our key areas of responsibility when it comes to overall management and administration of the charity, such as financial stewardship, risk management, safeguarding, data protection and health and safety.
Membership -. Our members form the backbone of our activities, voluntarily giving up their time to serve in a number of different areas, such as bible teaching children’s work, catering, music and event planning. We hold 3-4 members meetings throughout the year, including an AGM, to keep members informed and up-to-d a t e and to vote on relevant issues, according to the guidelines set out in our handbook.
Staffing - To enable the church/charity to meet its purposes, and in recognition of the challenges of being a young charity, the senior pastor continues in a voluntary capacity working with other volunteers to fulfill the mission of the church.
## Objectives, activities and achievements
In 2024/25, the main activities through which we sought to pursue our purposes were
Preaching and teaching of God’s word – the Bible - to encouraging a deepening of our personal experience of God and a closer walk with Jesus as our King. At the start of the financial year, the preaching and teaching ministry of the church was conducted on-line. Meetings and services included: -
- Teaching service – this has been provided through Zoom and in home groups and Bible study groups.
- Community groups – these groups provide an opportunity to study God’s word in small informal settings, and a chance to deepen friendships and create support networks. Some groups have chosen to remain on Zoom, while others have now returned to meeting in homes.
- Daily and weekly devotionals – the pastor and various church members posted online devotionals during the week to reach out and encourage members at home.
4
Caring for each other – the approach of the church is to encourage networks of care within its membership and attendees. These either happen naturally in an ad-hoc way from the social opportunities provided by meeting together for events and services, or in a more structured way through community groups.
Serve our local community . In 2024/25, this was carried out through: -
- Towards the end of the year in June 2025, we ran a series of events to reach out the local community with the hope and good news of Jesus.
In planning these activities, the Trustees have applied the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
## Finances
The financial position of the charity at the end of the period is reflective of the last couple of years with many challenges ever since Corvid -19 pandemic. We’ve had limited activities due to lack of volunteers available to do the activities we had anticipated. At the end of this financial period the donations received by the charity were £179.00 and payments were £ 187.67.
This Report was approved by the Trustees on 28th April 2026 and is signed on their behalf
