Phases of Closure
The closure of the Jesus Fellowship Community Trust (JFCT) has been divided into four phases, based on legal priority.
The phases are:
- Phase 1: Initial Distributions
- Phase 2: Redress and Claims
- Phase 3: Historic Requests (Matters not within Phase 2. Subject to JFCT Member vote)
- Phase 4: Apportionment (Of any residual Trust value. Subject to JFCT Member vote)
Phase 1: Initial Distributions
The Trust has made financial distributions to the Listed Beneficiaries (those still Trust Members at the time of closure), enabling them to transition to new living and support arrangements.
Phase 2: Redress and Claims
The Jesus Fellowship Redress Scheme has opened to provide meaningful recognition for people who have suffered harm and abuse. Apply.
This phase also includes any payments relating to potential compensation for the Community Adverse Experience Scheme, which will be communicated in January 2024.
Start date: 26th September 2022
Application deadline: 31st December 2023 (Please note any application received before this deadline, where an outcome has not communicated, will continue to be processed in 2024)
Phase 3 and 4: Historic and Apportionment
Following the Redress Scheme and subject to the closure progress of the Jesus Fellowship Community Trust, the current Listed Beneficiaries of JFCT will consider and vote on discretionary payments relating to the closure of JFCT.
This may include:
- Phase 3 – Historic ‘Relief of Need’ Requests
- Phase 3 – ‘Under-21 Contribution’ Refund Requests
- Phase 4 – Inclusion of Former JFCT Members in Apportionment.
To be considered for any potential payments, you must register your interest and provide related information ahead of the deadline of 31st December 2023.
