“Included within creditors are amounts due to Shepherd Hills Furniture Limited, a company which one of the trustees is director of, totalling £4,254 (2024 - £4,254 and was included within amounts owed to subsidiary undertakings). United Kingdom Mennonite Ministries in the US and UK Mennonite Ministries were controlled by a majority of common trustees during the year under review.
