6- 10 Alin￿ and 20- 25 Middles. We are affiliated with Utban Sairts Ihrough whom

the future.

Eastridge Manor and Aniska Lodge with 10 - 20 residents attending at each home.
Supporting other charities
Each year we give away an amount equivalent to 1 OYO of the previous year's gross
income to support other charities:
Siena Leone Mission - supporting thurd)es and schools ofThe Connexion. This
year we sent out 50 children's shoe bags as well as boxes of books and medical
equipment on the container sent in October. Our local primary s¢h¢X)l Bolney CEP
School is now linked with the SLM and contributed to the shoe bags.
Off the Fence- a Brighton and Hove based charity working with the homeless and
those at rnost risk in the cty. The CEO Julio Abraham preached at our Harvest
Service at which we ￿llected donations of toiletries for OTF (as well as food items
for the Handcross Food Bank).

We are grateful to G(xl that the financaal neets of the Chapel have been met during
the year. Monthly income from giving by members of the congregation and renting
out the annex covers our regular expenditure and over the year our reserves have
umma
We have been greatly encouraged. We have a small core of dedicated volunteers
who sacrificially give up their time and energy to provide all of the activities listed
above. In everything we do our airn is to gloiify and make known the Lord Jesus and
make it as easy as possible for those currently outside of the Chapel to encounter
him and come to faith.
