ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 April 2025
Activities in this reporting period
In our second year of operating, we built upon the strong foundations of our first year by securing funding for the ongoing work, investing in key leaders and gathering churches from across thecity for prayer and training. A mapping exercise in June 2024 gave us a clearer picture of[the][current] missional opportunities and from this we prioritised some specific neighbourhoods in Edinburgh to work towards some new missional communities.
We continue to gather leaders to encourage and train in the areas of mission and church planting. This year it's been encouraging to see new churches and individuals joining our work. We have seen ahuddle. numberof people participate in the Forge pioneer course and new additionsto our church planting planting Thework leaders and through that wethis train we'reandseeingcoach neware communitiestaking steps forwardbeing engaged.in new pioneering and church Thepreparingcommitmentsecondtohalftomove develop ofon.theThis theyear workhashaslimited ofbeen Renew.moresometransitionalof the planswithfor keythe personnelyear but there movingis stwitha i strongn thell city or Financial Review In the period reported in these accounts, unrestricted income amounted to £6,016 Unrestricted ofcharitable[£4,381.] expenditureof £1,635 was incurred resulting in an overall unrestricted surplusfor the period Restricted income was received during the period for staff costs amounting to £3,841.
