The trustees have felt it necessary to publish a Position Statement: Harpenden Bethesda Home Closure Process to help inform supporters and other interested parties regarding what is involved in managing the closure of the Harpenden Bethesda Home.
 

It is with a heavy heart that the trustees have written the attached Position Statement: Closure
of Harpenden Bethesda Home - yet, in the Lord’s sovereign purposes, we venture to continue
trusting in His Name.

We are please to present our Spring 2025 newsletter here for your consideration and trust that this will be of interest to you.

In November 2024, the GSBF trustees circulated two documents to supporters of the Charity. The first document was a letter setting out in detail the challenges facing Bethesda, at the current time, and their impact upon the Charity. The letter also made reference to challenges faced by previous trustees over the past 50 years. A copy of the letter can be found by clicking here.

The second document is a copy of the Chairman's address given at the GSBF Annual Meeting Saturday, 5 October 2024. The address provided a reflection on the issues faced by the trustees and those managing the Bethesda homes. The document also includes an analysis of the Charity's financial situation over the past 10 years and a more detailed analysis of the operation of the Bethesda Homes over the past five years.
