Detai15 of the origins, teachings and way of life of the Brethren can be found on their website mouthbrethrenchristianchurch.or and in the schedules to the Trust Deed.

Gospel tracts, which are distributed by street preachers, also display this information. Bibles and an extensive range of other Chrlstian reading material are on display at the halls and visitors ore free to help themselves. readin the Gos el messa e and the life of a Christian The Gospel Halls are a base from which the regular congregation and others who attend the meetings are encouraged to spread the Christian Gospel, in word and deed. Members of the congregation participate in a programme of street preaching and Gospel tracts are provided free of charge by the Charity to such preachers and to be handed out to interested members of the public. Such preachings took place regularly twice a week throughout the year from two locations in Chippenham and with over ten congregation members regularly preaching. In addition, member5 of the congregation have undertaken public benefit and outreach work in accord with the Public Benefit Report attached. This included keeping verges cut and arebs tidy and litter free including some byways in the vicinity of the principal Gospel Hall, with free labour and, where appropriate machinery.

This included providing hot catering and refreshments for a Bath Royal United Hospital fundraising walk- the Heals of Malmesbury Activity Day,. two Dorset and Wilts Fire and Rescue incidents- Wiltshire Search and Rescue occasions for search and training respectively,. an Air Ambulance fundraising day, and 3 meal for the homeless.

Page 4 THE DOWN GOSPEL TRUST REPORT OFTHE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024 CONTINUED readin the Gos el rnessa e and the life of a Christian Continued We regularly go out from our homes to preach on the streets, to distribute Christian liter3ture and engage with the wider community (including former Brethren) in order to present eternal salvation, available to all men by faith in Jesus Christ.12 Tim 4.'21. We seek as member5 of the public to lead Christian lives as husband5 and wives, parents, children, employers, employee5 and neighbours. (Col 3.22-25, Col 4.11.

The elderly are valued members of the community, for whom both their family and the wider community are expected to care. Holy Scripture command5 US to be good neighbours to others, and deal with all other people lincluding former Brethren) openly, honestly and fairly and consIStent with these principles, we should give our time, talents and money to assist those in need in the wider community, in so far as reasonable given our abilities and our available resources. Imatt 7..12, Matt 22-39, Eph 4-281. Volunteers The Down Gospel Trust relies on volunteers to carry out the management. administration and, where appropriate, general maintenance work.
