The Jesus Fellowship Church recruited thousands of people to live in puritanical communities in Northamptonshire , London and the Midlands .

Foundations have been passed to the police who are liaising with local authorities to see if any safeguarding action is required.

Jesus Fellowship Community Trust ( JFCT ) said it was sorry for the severely detrimental impact on people's lives.

The JFCT is planning to make discretionary payments to former members with surplus funds once it has been dissolved.

It is unclear if any former leaders will be included as beneficiaries.

In 2020 , five senior leaders known as the Apostles were found to have covered-up the abuse of women and children.
