Jesus Fellowship Redress Scheme Update Report

The Jesus Fellowship Redress Scheme (the Redress Scheme) is available to those who have suffered harm, abuse and/or adverse experiences within the Jesus Fellowship community. It also provides a clear process for employment, pension, national insurance and retirement claims.

This report is an update on the Redress Scheme as at 31 May 2023. All figures presented in the report are calculated as at this date.

Please be advised that this update  may contain information which members and previous members of the Jesus Fellowship Church may find distressing.

We understand that applying for redress is a difficult process and we are grateful to all those who have come forward and submitted applications to the Redress Scheme so far.

The Redress Scheme opened on 26 September 2022 and will continue to accept new applications submitted online or received by post until 31 December 2023.

We encourage all those who wish to apply to the Individual Redress Payment Scheme to engage a solicitor for support. Please note that putting together an application with a solicitor can take time and applicants will need to be mindful of this when considering the Redress Scheme application deadline.

Note to Editors
Since December 2020, the Jesus Fellowship Community Trust has existed solely as a residuary body with one purpose – winding up the administrative affairs of the Jesus Fellowship Church. New Trustees were brought in to oversee this work, which includes implementing the redress scheme, supporting survivors and former members, and ultimately closing the Trust.
