REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2024

The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (e�ective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Review of Activities
We hold weekly Christian services in the building and have midweek meetings for members, we also hold Alpha courses for new Christians and those who are interested to find out more about the faith.
We held services outside in the car park during the summer months, and also fortnightly midweek barbecue with a firepit, to welcome folk from outside the church, particularly from the village.
We continue to support Barnabas Fellowship of Churches, particularly in their work in Africa, and, alongside other churches, finance a part-time chaplain in their work in Courtfield’s School, Wellington. We have strong ties with the other churches within the town and participate in holding joint events and services as part of the united Christian church in the town.
Our building is used by a number of local organizations, notably, the Police, as a base for local PCSA's, Slimming World, Reminiscence Learning, which aids elderly people, and other churches in the area who do not have their own building. There is a weekly community pantry held on a Tuesday which distributes surplus food from supermarkets and other sources to those in need for a minimal cost.

During the year under review the charity had two part-time employees.
