The bank account has also remained within the historic trust, meaning that the CIO has not yet had any income or expenses. Between 12 April 2023 and 31 March 2024 the Christian Centre was used by a pre-school, by a Scout pack and for parade services and other occasional services of public Christian worship. The trustees have been in discussion with interested parties regarding the future of the Christian Centre building. |
