TANTERTON CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP
Annual Report for the year ending 31[st] December 2022
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 (resigned)
Mr Jonathan Hope
Mr Samuel Smith (appointed)
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.
The trustees sold the manse as it was no longer seen as a requirement for employing a minister. Part of the money raised from the sale was used to buy the charity out of its commitment to the Baptist Union final salary pension fund. This will allow greater freedom in the choosing of a new pastor.
Unrestricted reserves at 31[st] December 2022 were £167,811. 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 previous pastor left employment by the charity at the end of October 2021, the trustees are actively seeking a new pastor.
