community. Detai15 of the origins, teachings and way of life of the Brethren can be found on their website

The Trust's main achievements this year have been to complete the Property at Woodbarn Farm, Stanton
St. Quintin in order to provide a further Gospel Hall, and to maintain the Gospel Halls held, for the
continuing use of the congregation and visitors. It has also encouraged works by the congregation, a5
described below.
Meetin
Meetings normally held at the Gospel h?115 include the Lord's Supper (Communionl, Gospel preachings,
Bible readings and Bible addresses. There is a structured weekly schedule of meeting5 and, depending
Dn the particular meeting, between 20 and 800 people normally attend these occasions.

visitors. The notice board outside the Hall welcomes visitors and displays times of Gospel preachings,
along with a telephone number for those seeking further information or help. 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

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. Refreshments were also provided for a charitable Scarecrow Festival in Kington Lèngley.
Members of the congregation have also supported a separate charity, the Rapid Relief Team, in its
activities in the socal area. 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. Food boxe5 were also donated to local charities and Spring
Water to Dorset and Wilts Fire and Rescue.
In carrying out this work, the congregation considers itself to be living out its faith in practice, a5
particularly exemplified in the following extract from the schedule to the Trust Deed on living 3 Christian
Life=_
We seek and are encouraged to live exemplary lives in all our relationships with others in the
wider community (including former Brethren), in accordance with the teachings of Holy
Scripture11 Tim 2..21.

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 preservation and protection of the family unit 15 fundamental and children are prized 35 a
blessing from God. (Psalm 127.3-51. 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. The Trust has no paid staff or paid Trustees.
Fundin
Funding is sought through gifts and donations from the congregation. Grants are sometimes received
from other charitable trusts Wlth complementary objectives. Gift aid is also claimed on relevant gifts.
Financial review
Financial
osition
In the Year ended 5, April 2024 the Trust had a deficit amounting to £30,214 of Incoming Resources
against Resources Expended (after Depreciation charged of £96,449).
Total voluntary Income received this Year was £122.805 compared to £199,241 in the Year to 5 April
2023. Monies held on Bank Accounts at the year end totalled £80,243.
All Funds held were Unrestricted Funds.
Reserves
olic
The Trustees have considered the level of reseNes they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs.
This is based on the charity's size and the level of financial commitments. The Trustee5 have a programme
of raising further funds by way of donations and collections, and if necessary loans, in order to fund
intended projects, and to facilitate repayment of existing lending. The congregation is kept regularly
informed of needs accordingly, including matters referred to in the paragraphs below.
Free reserves at the year end were £85,038, which will assist the further intentions referred to below.
Activi
since the Year End and Plans for Future Periods
The Trust plans to continue all the current activities. The Trust is continuing to look for a site for a further
Gospel Hall. It is also pursuing options in relation to The Plough Inn adjoining the principal Gospel Hall
site.
Despite the increased cost of energy and other overheads, the Trustees feel that such increased costs will
not sufficiently impact on the ability of the charity to continue as a 80ing concern.
