The charity provides for the essential needs of all members of the congregation. The living costs of the trustees are therefore borne by the charity and there are no balances outstanding with any related parties at the Balance sheet date (2023: None). The Trustees do not receive any remuneration from the Charity, but are considered to be the key management personnel. There were no other related party transactions in either year.
