Lancaster Gate Hq Report 2009
- 1. Report on Lancaster Gate HQ 2009 Studio flats business We have been successfully running a business in letting out studio flats and offices in our HQ since 1987. We started with 15 flats and over the years this number has grown to 27 flats at present plus one office in the basement. Due to good management by Mr. Grant Miller we are able to keep our occupancy level to about 95% and make a substantial contribution to the running of the movement in the UK. Developments last year Many more of our blessed second generation families are moving into flats in HQ, just as 30 - 40 years ago many of their parents were living there and where some of them grew up. Our national leader was appointed as pastor of the HQ Church in November 2009 and is working to establish a vibrant spiritual foundation there with some of these families and our church community. New plans for 2010 In order that the HQ turns more from an office environment to a vibrant spiritual centre, we will move the General Office, which has been right next to the front door for the last 13 years, to the back of the building and turn this space into a very welcoming and attractive multi-function lounge/lecture area. Also we will be creating accommodation for our national leader s family in the basement. We sincerely hope to redecorate the front fa巽ade of the building, which is long overdue for repair and a facelift. The main function rooms will be redecorated and equipped with good video projection and audio equipment, in preparation to better fulfil their purpose as our spiritual HQ and education centre.
