ststement of complianee
In s¢ttiThg our activities and planning activities for the year the trnStees have given careful consideration to
the Charity CornmissAon for Northern IreR&nd's guidance on public benefit to ensure that the adivities have
helped to a¢hiev¢ the charity's purposes and provide a benefit to the beneficiaries.
Purposes
The Haven is a non-denominational organisation which exists to advance the Good News of Jesus Chris¢
nationally and internationally, and to share that hope and compassion prayerfidly and practicalky by bringÉng
help to those who seek relief from debt distress and (kspair.
There is no harni associated with the punx)ses.
Benefi¢lari&s
The ¢harty'S benefici￿A¢S are:
Elderly people from the area who receive prartical help exther with Iransport or carryitig out smalk jobs around
th¢ir properties.
Local people who receive food which bas been collected & distnl)uted through local churches, charities and
foodbanks.
People who are facing hardship by reason of age, ill-health, disability, fllMncial issues or other disadvantage5.
Provision of f￿anCial support to Jnissionaries in Europe. Africa and Asia.

This is an extremely varied worK &s we seek with th¢ Lords help to relieve d¢bL distress and despais.

The Hav¢n Trnst
Trustees, Rep(brt (eontinued)
Each SI￿ation we deal with is uuique to its¢lf.
We operate a furniture store whicb accepts Second hand fiui)iture and Can redistribute this to p¢opl¢ in ne
Some of our vohurteers are retir¢d tradesmen which gives us the abilty to do minor repairs in the home.
We also support fman¢ially, prayerfully and practiralty other Clllistian ch&rities in NI and internationalty.
The Public benefit, for spiritual and practicaL is difficult to demonstrate as it would depend on the personal
testimony of those who are helped. More often than not the situations we de￿ with are extremety sensitive and
private and whilst r¢cords are kq)t of who, how and when, it would not be appropriate to share those things
publi¢ly.
However, in general tern)s in 2024, a few prnctical illustrations would include gkving t¢mporary accommodation
to a person whose home ]if¢ become unbearable.
We continue to visit th¢ elderly and bousebound and meet what practical needs we can, whether it be transport
or something tninor Tepaired or a tidy up &round the yard and garden.
Just as with the spiritlial side of the Haven's work, our purpose includes slwimg God's lov¢ by PTactAcal means
with those who are in need.
