Tnistees as of 31/12r2024.' Mandy Ashenden Kate Carver Owen Goodey Chris Roberts Newhaven Baptlst Chureh Newhaven Baptist Church General Fund Charity Registration Number: 247232 Trustees, Annual Report Year Ending 3111212024 Newhaven Baptist Church is a charitable unincorporated association. The Trustees. also known as Deacons, are chosen from Church Members by a Church Members, Meeting. They are appointed for an initial three year term with the opportunity to be nominated for reappointment at the end of each three year term. During 2024 we continued to pursue our primary objective to spread the message of God's love and salvation through Jesus, by Christian witness, preaching of God's word and involvement with and support of members of the local community. Additional activities were held at Easter and Christmas, including craft mornings and local deliveries of plants and greeting cards on both occasions. As usual we hosted a Light Stop on October 31 •t with food and craft activities, as an alternative to Halloween. The church Food Bank has continued to expand, which was a blessing in that we could support the local community in this way, but unfortunate as it indicated ever-increasing need. We have received a number of generous grants from local organisations. Many individuals have also donated both food items and money. We sadly said goodbye to Jac, our Minister, in February this year and started the proc8ss of seeking a new minister. We trust God to provide us with the right minister, at the right time, and with sufficient resources to support them adequately. The church's total income in 2024 was £103,162.88, of which £64,466.73 was donated directly to the Food Bank. We continue to be grateful to the church members who continued and even increased their regular offerings during the year, and to the organisations and other individuals who donated to the work of the churGh. We were able to let our Manse almost immediately after Jac left, which provided a useful source of income. and we spent 33% of our general outgoings on improving the propety. A further 12% was spent on improvement of the church building itself, notably badly-needed new main doors which were flnanced by a gift from the SEBA Make A Difference (MAD) project when it was wound up a few years ago. There is still a gat need ft)r building maintenance and improvement, and we are planning this for the near fvture if we can obtain sufficient grants. Over 46Vo of our total outgoings was spent on local outreach and other missions, equivalent to 26% of our income. A significant contribution to this achievement was the large amount of donations to the Food Bank. As ever, we very much look ft)rward to continued expansion of our activities during 2025, enabling further Christian witness in the community. The trustO88 declare that they have approved the report above, which 18 8lgned on thelr behalf by 2036 Chris Roberts, Treasurer
