## **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. 

Mrs Ruth Cuthbert, Chair
