JOHN TROTTER TRUST 

Activities related to purchasing a property adjacent to Christ Church, Barnet and redeveloping it to extend the ministry of Christ Church for the benefit, in particular, but not exclusively, of older members of the community. The building was purchased in 2012 and has formally operated as the Open Door Centre since 2017. Fundraising continues with a view to further redevelopment of the building.
