Christian Enterprises Trust
Trustees Annual Report
The Trustees present their report and the accounts for the year ended 31[st] March 2023.
PRINCIPAL OFFICE
The trust’s principal office is The Elmgrove Centre, Elmgrove Road, Cotham, Bristol BS6 6AH.
GOVERNING DOCUMENT
The Christian Enterprises Trust was established as a charitable trust by way of a deed made on 13[th] March 1992. The objects of the charity are to promote Christianity and Christian education in the United Kingdom and elsewhere.
On 30[th] July 2004 the net assets of the Sheep Gate trust were transferred to Christian Enterprises Trust as the Sheep Gate Trust was no longer in a position to manage its activities on a day-today basis.
The Sheep Gate Trust was created by way of a deed made on 12[th] September 1989 and was a registered charity from 17[th] October 1989 to 12[th] August 2004. (Registered charity no 328353)
OBJECTS OF THE CHARITY
The Objects of the Charity are to promote Christianity and Christian education in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in particular by:
-
i. Providing opportunities for people to meet with God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
-
ii. Establishing Christian Community Centres
-
iii. Promoting the unity of Christians in the love and service of God
-
iv. Fostering initiatives to teach and care in the community in obedience to Jesus.
PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT
The trustees of Christian Enterprises trust confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties.
The trust has promoted Christianity and Christian education by giving regular one-off gifts to those active in Christian work both in the UK and abroad. It has continued to run the Christian Community Centre in Bristol. The trust has also served the community both through the support of those Christians involved in looking after the needs of others and directly by sponsoring and writing to two children who live in poverty. Also providing work and income for a man in particular need.

Christian Enterprises Trust
The trust has furthered Christianity through its financial support of missionaries abroad, through enabling recording of Christian music and bible reading, and through supporting those who help others.
RESERVES POLICY
The major expenses incurred by the trust are maintenance and repairs to the Elmgrove centre, donations, salaries and wages. The trustees believe that holding reserves equivalent to approximately three months, utilities, gifts, and wage expenditure is prudent. For the year ended 31[st] March 2023 this would amount to approximately £15,500.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Current year
After depreciation there was a loss of £13,608 for the year ended 31[st] March 2023 (2022 loss of £33,989).
The trust continues to control the activities that take place at the centre and received £97,776 in hall hire fees. The trust receives a rental and storage income from City Church which was at £27,440. It is anticipated that hire and rental charges will again become the major sources of income going forward.
The trust has continued with the program of upgrading, maintaining and improving the Elmgrove Centre. During the year to 31[st] March 2023 expenditure on repairs and maintenance was £20,875.
The main costs in the year were wages and salaries and pensions of £70,137
RESTRICTED FUNDS
The only restricted funds currently with the trust is a house in Lilongwe Malawi used to further the trust’s objectives. This was acquired in October 2011 for £4,332.00.
REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
The Trust year saw some changes regarding the Christian missions CET supports. Greg and Jill Vine, after 15 years with MAF, principally based in Uganda, decided with much prayer and a lot of sadness to leave Uganda and move to the UK in order to be able to be near their three daughters all studying in the UK.
On 3rd March 2023 Jill launched, at the invitation of CET, a monthly Women’s Worship Evening from 7-9pm in the Small Hall at The Elmgrove Centre. Hot on its heels came a plan to achieve Jill’s longing to run a Christian tent event of worship on the Downs. Her vision was to have an open sided marquee decorated with lights where the music would draw the intrigued and curious to find out more. Jill set about approaching Bristol City Council and the Downs committee for the necessary permissions and regulations.

Christian Enterprises Trust
With Greg and Jill’s leaving MAF, CET support to Peter Kent, a missionary in association with Open Reach Campaigners in France, was increased. His faithful witness in town squares and on metro station platforms with singing and sketch board brings many to ask questions and learn more about Jesus.
In Norway, Catherine and John Ifeanyi moved to central Norway where they established their church in new premises, seeing continued growth with members from many nations and faith confirmed by baptisms.
Mary Gondwe has continued to support women by offering simple accommodation in the Adrian House in Lilongwe from which they can seek work in the capital. She has provided clothes and aid during the terrible floods which affected southern Malawi in March 2023.
The ministry of Alex George is effective on the various fronts he offers to people in Bristol, including students, those in prison, new parents, and those looking for Christian counselling and support.
Althea, the girl CET supports through Compassion in the Philippines, brings financial help to her whole family through this sponsorship as well as for her own schooling. Compassion does an excellent job keeping sponsors informed of the local needs of the community and countries that the sponsored children belong to and the shared mission with local organisations to bring help where it is needed. A bridge is built between different nations as sponsors and sponsored children learn from each other.
The Elmgrove Centre, the Community Centre that CET oversees in Bristol is thriving under the management of Sam Jackson who is increasing both the public profile and the quality of the premises which are offered to the community for their own enjoyment. His report makes part of the Trust chair’s report this year, covering more fully the particular developments and use of the Elmgrove Centre during the Trust year. CET particularly welcomes being able to offer the premises at half price to groups and charities who are seeking to alleviate poverty, difficulty and suffering in Bristol.

Serving the large Polish community in Bristol, we welcomed several sell-out evenings of standup comedy in the main hall, starting on Friday 16th September 2022, with comedians travelling over from Poland.
The Centre also continued to show its support for independent theatre groups, offering reduced hire rates during weekday daytimes in our small hall, and as a result Wardrobe Theatre Ensemble, BOVTS and BSA all held extensive rehearsal and workshop programs here for a total of 55 days throughout the year.
In 2023 we began to see more requests for funeral and memorial services at the Centre, and on Monday 13th March 2023 we accommodated a memorial service for a local family.
On the 5th May 2022 we made our small hall available for use as a polling station for the local elections.
WORKS AND REPAIRS
We had the aim of improving the small hall across 2022 and 2023, as our more affordable space for hire. Starting in October, we began renovating the bathrooms and kitchen, repairing and tiling the floors, and installing a new heating and boiler system.
Having been due to begin operating here in September 2022, Elmtree Preschool delayed their start until after the Easter holidays in 2023. We continued to carry out improvement works to the soft play and tearoom areas to make them ready for the preschool throughout the winter of 2022 and 2023, and into spring, repainting walls and improving electrics across both spaces in particular.
At the beginning of March 2023 an act of vandalism caused fire damage to parts of the main hall, greatly affecting the kitchen and men’s toilets, and shattering the stained-glass windows. We immediately set about repairing the damage and were pleased to see local volunteers so quick to offer their help.
STAFF
After joining the team at the beginning of November 2022 on 15 hours a week, caretaker Steve Walker quickly became an integral part of the team and on 9th December, following a period of commendable work and reliability, he was promoted to the role of Premises Manager. Taking on increased responsibility his weekly working hours were raised from 15 to 20, with the plan to expand the role further in the new tax year.
Taking on the role of Social Media Manager alongside her Office Manager position, on 30th January 2023 we raised Julia Blumenfeld’s weekly hours from 12 to 15.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHRISTIAN ENTERPRISES TRUST
I have examined the financial statements of the trust for the year ended 31[st] March 2023 which are set out on pages 11 to 15.
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) but that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
-
Follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act:
and
- State whether any particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.
It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
Based on my examination, other than matters set out below, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, accounting records have not been kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, or that the accounts presented do not accord with those records or comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act.
The trust had not presented me with any minutes of meetings during the year. Accordingly, I have not been able to verify, with documentary evidence, details of any decisions taken. I have relied on emails and verbal information supplied.
