generality of the forgoing, the spreading of the
Gospel among men and women of business and

purpose of sharing, mentoring, ministry and prayer.

of fellowship and encouragement through prayer,
music and teaching.
Outreach meetings (including breakfast and dinner
meetings) and street meetings are organized by local
groups, where members of the public are invited to
hear how people like them have come to know Jesus
Christ as their Lord and Saviour (through the sharing
of real life stories).

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to the
circumstances of its beneficiaries
and any wider benefits to society
as a whole.		 Para 1.20 The 2022 edition of our FGB ‘Voice’ magazine,
contains the testimonies of both men and women
whose lives have been transformed, many of which
are very relevant at this time. We expanded our
Street Outreach and Event Outreach by covering
cities and towns handing out FGB Voice magazines
to members of the general public and also house-to-
house visits. Especially in areas
where there is a known need for individuals to be
reassured by the word of God.

The testimonies in Voice magazines (which are also
available free on the FGB website) relate to how lives
have been transformed: a restored marriage,
overcoming addictions, family reconciliation, physical
and mental healing or other personal problems
overcome, all of which have a beneficial effect on the
wider community.
We have other resource materials available that help
FGB members and other Christians reach people for
Christ more effectively: much of the FGB literature is
available as free downloads or for purchase through
the on-line shop onwww.fgbuk.org. Cont/…
As a result of FGB outreach initiatives, including
breakfast and dinner meetings with guest speakers
sharing their life stories, many members of the public
choose to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and
Saviour and as described above enrich their lives
and then live with a God-given purpose in life. Also,
where needs are identified, appropriate support is
provided.

Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:

Achievements against objectives
set		 Para 1.41 By God’s continuing Grace, many people have been
reached for Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit
for Life, and identified needs are supported in
appropriate ways.
Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives set		 Para 1.41

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial
position at the end of the period		 Para 1.21 Income for 2022 saw a small decrease on the
previous year, which can be attributed to the
reduction of monetary donations, which, in turn saw
a reduction in the amount of Gift Aid claimed.
Spending has also decreased compared to 2021,
due to conference expenses and donation to BMF
America at the end of 2021.
Due to the economic climate, our operating cash
shows a reduction of approximately £1700.00 for the
end of 2022
Statement explaining the policy for
holding reserves stating why they
areheld		 Para 1.22 No reserves are held by the charity
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 Zero
Reasons for holding zero reserves Para 1.22 We have not found it necessary to hold any reserves,
as member donations are regular and any shortfall
would be made up by the Trustees.
Details of fund materially in deficit Para 1.24 N/A
Explanation of any uncertainties
