## **LGP ANNUAL REPORT for financial period April to December 2024** (This is a short accounting period as we have changed our financial year from a tax year to a calendar year.) ## **Charity name** London Gospel Partnership ## **Registration number** 1201824 ## **Registered address** c/o Limehouse Rectory 5 Newell Street London E14 7HP ## **Trustees** Richard Bray (Chair) Corinne Brixton Jamie Child David Lee Tim Manson Leonora Ledgister – stood down October 2024 Brian O’Donoghue Jason Roach ## **Our structure** The LGP resources churches for mission and so has: a) a **Board of Trustees** comprised of evangelical leaders (who represent several London church networks and none) who are theologically aligned. From this committee a Chair is chosen as well as additional Chairs for each Event Executive. To enable genuine discussion, this group will number from 6 to 12 (with a non-voting administrator where required) and will meet termly. Initial appointments will be reviewed after three years. b) **Event Executives** who organise the three different events run by LGP. The Chair of each Event Executive will recruit members from a range of churches who bring skills in delivering on the brief provided by the Trustees. ## **Our activities and objectives in the year** We continued to provide our three main events of the year: an Annual Conference in March (to equip church leadership teams for effective gospel ministry); a three-day residential Preachers Conference in April (to equip regular preachers to faithfully proclaim the Word of God); and a half-day Pray for London Gathering in October (to pray together for gospel outreach in London). In addition, our partnership had the additional objective of providing a valuable opportunity to foster working relationships across denominations and networks, as well as across the whole London area and between large and small churches. ## **Our achievements and performance** All three of our events took place successfully and those who attended – from local churches across London – appreciated being equipped further in the task of bringing the gospel to the diverse communities of London. We also continued to provide a means for growing relationships between the different churches of our partnership. In addition, we made numerous organisational changes over this period, the most important of which were setting up our own bank account rather than having our funds held in a separate bank account by St Helen Bishopsgate; moving our web site from Fluro to WordPress; and using a booking site for future ticketing to our conferences and events. ## **Our financial review** Our funding was drawn entirely from contributions from our larger partner churches, though we also made a small surplus on ticket sales from the Annual Conference and Preachers Conference. Our Trustees gave their time voluntarily, but a part-time administrator was employed on a freelance basis to oversee the day-to-day running of our charity. Our finances show an opening balance of £2,080 with total income of £8,248 and expenditure of £7,401, leaving a closing balance of £2,928. **Charity Name No (if any) London Gospel Partnership 1201824 Receipts and payments accounts For the period** Period start date Period end date **To from** 4/6/2024 12/31/2024 **CC16a** ## **Section A Receipts and payments** **Unrestricted Restricted Endowment funds funds funds** **Total funds Last year** |**Section A Receipts and payments**
