Trustees report for Origin Bible Trust. For year 1/5123 to 3014124. During this period the exhibition was reprinted using a gift of funds supplied specifically for that purpose. This allowed for some minor corrections to be made and a redesign of the graphics in one main panel by rnoving the more advanced inforniation unto stand-alone displays. This made it more consistent with the rest of the exhibition. The exhibition was displayed in a number of schools by invitation, and when in public buildings, schools in the locality where Invited to attend. There was a good response to this by controlled, maintained and integrated schools. Transport was arranged free of charge to the schools, the cost being covered by Christians in the area. Chilthen were conducted around the exhibition in age appropriate tours. These covered the history and some of the rnain themes of the Bible, how we got the Bible and its impact on the society in which we live. At othei times the exhibition was open to the public and visitors were encouraged to browse it at theii leisure, with the trustees on hand to answer questions. Feedback from teachers was very positive, both in the content of the exhibition and how those explaining it to children were able to relate to each age group. It was also noted that the content of the exhibition fitted closely in with the national RE curriculum. During this period the exhibition was displayed in a prison chapel when prisoners were able lo view it and ask questions. No charge was made for the exhibition and there were no collection boxes used or appeal for donations. The trust did not do any fund raising. In addition to the above mentioned reprint, expenditure of the trust was for insurance, the design and printing publicity material, as well as rent for use of public venues. The trusteFs transported and opeiated the exhibition al their own expense. No trustee received any renumeration or expenses from the trust. The trustees are confident that the use of the Bible Exhibition has resulted in benefit to the public in providing education about the world, s bestselling book and the joy and peace in coming to know Jesus Chn'st and His teaching. The trustees know of no hann resulting from the activities of the trust. Approved by trustees on 24th February 2025 Signed on their behalf Robert Armstrong Trustee
