Among the objectives of the Trust, reflected in the accompanying accounts, are the extension of evangelism on a worldwide basis to assist the development of the Christian faith, including the translation of the Bible, distribution and sharing of the Bible, ministerial training, and Christian broadcasting. ## **Achievements and performance:** The Trustees had received satisfactory reports from all recipients of grants made during the financial period 2021/22. After due consideration of all appeals received, the Trustees were able make ten grants totalling £26,854.40 during the period of this report for Christian work in the UK and overseas. These grants will support UK registered charity appeals for the proclamation of the Christian faith through literacy, training, translation, logistics and media, both within the UK and overseas. The Trustees satisfied themselves that the funds they granted were to be used in accordance with the beneficial purpose for which they were requested. The grants are listed in the financial summary that follows. ## **Structure, Governance and Management:** Currently the four trustees preserve the ethos, structure, governance, and management of the Trust. The trust is dependent on income from a now completed investment portfolio, thus perpetuating the founder Mr Eric Gahagan’s wishes. Appeals sent, online or mailed, must be received before December 31[st] each year, and will be shared with all trustees in preparation for the annual grant meeting held early the following year. This ensures as much income as possible has been received for the benefit of successful applicants.
