## **TANTERTON CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP** ## **Annual Report for the year ending 31[st] December 2021** Tanterton Christian Fellowship is constituted by a Deed of Trust dated 30[th] September 1986 and is a registered charity no. 518181. Its address is Tanterton Christian Centre, Kidsgrove, Ingol, Preston, PR2 7BX. The trustees during the year to 31[st] December 2021 were :- Mrs Ruth Cuthbert - Chair Mr Paul Earnshaw - Secretary Mrs Georgina Carole Marland Mr Jonathon Hope The object of the charity is the advancement of the Christian Faith, the worship of God, the relief of those in need and the advancement of education on the basis of Christian principles. The trustees’ policy is that this object should be fulfilled by the local Christian church known as Tanterton Christian Fellowship through a holistic ministry exercised locally in the Tanterton, Ingol, and Cottam area of Preston and also further afield in the United Kingdom and the wider world. To this end the charity employs a minister and supports individuals in Uganda. It also supports financially the work of certain local, national and international Christian organisations. However most of its work is dependent on the voluntary help of the church members of Tanterton Christian Fellowship. Locally the charity has organised during the past year, the normal activities of a Christian church (i.e. Sunday Services, Prayer Meetings, Home Groups, Youth and Children’s Work, Parents & Toddlers’ Group) normally based at the Tanterton Christian Centre but also online during the COVID epidemic. The charity is entirely dependent on the gifts and free-will offerings of those who worship at Tanterton Christian Fellowship. This support is received on a regular basis from its membership, who are entirely committed to its primary aims and objectives and are principally its main beneficiaries. The Trustees (other than the pastor) have not received any remuneration nor has any material transaction taken place between the Charity and a Trustee or any person connected with any of them. Unrestricted reserves at 31[st] December 2020 were £47,960 equivalent to 12 months average operational expenditure. The unrestricted reserves at the year-end were above the minimum level set by the Trustees. The amount available is considered by them to be adequate given that those who are wholly committed to the work of the charity give income regularly over the year. The pastor left employment by the charity at the end of October 2021, the trustees are currently considering options for the future.
