- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Trustees have assessed the charity's financial position, including its net deficit and reserve shortfall, and confirm there are no material uncertainties regarding its ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the approval date of these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In July 2025, the church entered into a new license agreement for use of the Car Park on the Freedom House site.”
- “Christmas 2024 was an exciting time for the church where we saw our largest gatherings to-date with over 1,000 people joining for our Carol Service & Light Shows and 360 of these people were Children from 3 different primary schools around Bath.”
- “In the middle of January, we launched a 24/7 prayer room in the auditorium cafe area. This 24/7 prayer room saw continuous prayer for 2,112 hours (88 days) and produced a deeper move of prayer and genuine hunger for Jesus.”
