## **– Chorley Christian Book Centre Trust 518002** The Chorley Christian Book Centre has had another successful year trading and meeting the needs of the people of Chorley and the surrounding areas. We continue to be grateful for the loyal service and time given by our 8 volunteers to man the shop each week. They also offer a welcome, a listening ear and support to customers and lonely people who may come for a chat. None of the volunteers receive any payment for the service they give. We are thankful that we have been able to continue to give monthly financial support for the work of Connect based in Sunderland working with offenders leaving prison to gain new skills and also to Cascot, working in schools with a Christian Ministry and outreach in the Manchester area. We have given other small gifts amounting to £350. All churches receive at least 10% off their orders to assist their finances. Any books left over at the end of our January sale are donated to Renewal Northwest, another Christian charity. The Charity Trustees meet on a regular basis for prayer and oversight of the running of the shop and any concerns on the building maintenance.
