The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements for the charity for the year ended 31 October 2025. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2020). 

## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES 

The objects of the church are: 

- 

The advancement of the Christian faith worldwide in accordance with the doctrines set out in the statement of faith contained in the schedule. 

- The relief of poverty. 

The church supports christian organisations such as World Evangelism Mission. The church also provides support to members of the congregation (at the discretion of the trustees) who are in need. 

## Objectives and aims 

The church has adopted the following strategies for achieving it's objectives: 

- Organisation of seminars in the church with proven speakers and ministers of faith to guide members in the various aspects of Christian faith; and 



- Support for other charities Christian events. 

The following activities are aimed at achieving the objectives 

- Various missionary activities; - Community outreach events; - Provision of welfare support to members; - Conferences and events. 

Statement on public benefit 

The trustees have considered the Charity Commision's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'. 

## Volunteers 

The church is grateful for the generous support of its volunteers who continually make an invaluable contribution to the operations of the charity by their involvement in service provision, office work and administration. It is estimated that over 16,000 volunteer hours are provided every year. If this is valued at £10.00 an hour the volunteer effort amounts to over £160,000. 

## ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE 

In addition to its usual Sunday and weekly services, the church carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. These activities include classes for children and teenagers where they are taught the tenets and values of the Christian faith, fellowships for various groups in the church including men fellowship, women fellowship, elders fellowship, youth fellowship. 

The trustees consider that these activities summarized below, provide benefit to those who worship at our church and the wider community: 

September is the family month. This programme is intended to impact families in the community by building stronger bonds in the homes and it is open to the public. During this programme, the church organised several activities including interdenominational football matches, family fun day to Broadstairs beach, and Couples breakfast which holds in October. 

The church also held several community outreach programmes in which fruit and food parcels were distributed to the community. 

Hampers and gifts were given to our neighbors through our door to door outreach. 

In January the church hosted a 7 day Praise event opened to the general public called Jericho Praise; In March, the church opened a new event to the public Prayer Marshall Conference. 

Various prayer and evangelical events opened to the general public in the month of July 



and October; All Nations Celebration Day in November; 

Throughout the year the church has opened its doors to members of the public as a place of respite from the numerous challenges people face, providing counseling and welfare assistance. The charity also started partnering with other local charities to distribute food every Wednesday to less privileged in the community. 

## FINANCIAL REVIEW 

In the twelve months under review, total income was £223,939; (2019: £352,606) and total 

## expenditure was 

£264,551; (2020: £264,400). 

Net results for the year were (£40,612); (2019: £88,206) and carries forward funds in deficit of (£58,567); (2020: (£17,955)). 

The Trustees continue to place emphasis on financial management to ensure that the funds within the organisation are properly managed. 

The Trustees have implemented robust budgetary controls and continue to monitor costs to deliver a balanced budget for the future. 

## Reserves 

The Trustees believes that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained so that in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the Charity's activities and are working towards achieving it. 

The aim is to build reserves levels to approximately 3 months of unrestricted expenditure. 

Going concern 

At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that 

the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees' continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts. 

## Funds in deficit 

The trustees are continuously looking at areas of possible cost reductions where they could save money without negatively affecting the quality of service provided to the members and general public. Already, the Trustees have taken some measures to reduce office costs and overheads while continually striving for increased membership and alternative funding sources to increase income.

The CICC having responsibility together with the incumbent for the whole mission of the Church, met bi-monthly during 2025. It also has maintenance responsibility for the Church centre complex of Christ Church Woking. 

## **Membership** 

Members Of the CICC are effectively the charity trustees and are ex officio or elected by the Annual CICC Church Meeting (ACCM) in accordance with the Church Representation Rules. During the year. the following served as members of the CICC 



At the Annual CICC Church Meeting (ACCM), held on 24 April 2025:

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The appointment of CICC members is governed by the Church Representation Rules, with the additional limitation passed at the ACCM, that elected CICC members serve for a maximum of two continuous terms of three years. Thereafter, a person has to stand down for at least one year. This does not apply to the Deanery and Diocesan Synod representatives who are elected on a regular three-year cycle. Christ international Christian center has been granted five Deanery Synod representatives and their election took place at the ACCM on the 24 April 2025. The next election will be in April 2026. 

The church is heavily reliant upon the volunteer involvement of its members and in most areas the staff or members of the congregation are involved in the charitable activities. The church also chooses to give grants to selected partner organizations with similar aims. 

The principal activities and achievements within the year are set out below. The CICC has complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission regarding public benefit. 

The CICC has considered the principal risks to which the church is exposed and are satisfied that appropriate risk management and internal controls systems and processes are in place to effectively manage these risks. 

## **Purpose and Objectives** 

Christ international Christian (CICC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent in promoting the objects of the charity, namely ‘promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church’. 

As a church, our mission and ministry are guided by five core values: 

1. WORSHIP CICC is called to be a place of passionate Spirit-filled, seeker-friendly worship, where we enjoy God's presence and where those who do not yet know Jesus discover more of his love. 

2. **WELCOME** CICC is called to be a place where ail people, irrespective of a8e, race, culture, or background, find a warm welcome, into the life of the church, a place of belonging, and a place to serve and use their giftings. 

3. **WITNESS** CICC is called to be a church that shares the love of Jesus Christ, in word and in action, both sharing the good news of Jesus in words, and showing the good news of Jesus in action. 

**4. WALKING WITH JESUS** CICC is called to be a church where every member, whatever age, grows as a disciple of Jesus, growing closer to Jesus, growing more like Jesus, and going more for Jesus. 



**5. WEMBLEY& THE WORLD** CICC has a unique calling as a witness for Christ in Wembley Town Centre, to support our local partner churches and reach the increasing global Wembley community. We are called to support Christ's global church by supporting our Mission Partner Families and **Organizations** 

The CICC has responsibility for the stewardship of the Parish Church, its offices and rooms, plus Orchafd Drive, a church-owned property currently occupied by the Associate Vicar. CICC employs a staff team and is significantly supported by volunteers contributing to many areas across men and women‘s groups, prayer support, Life Groups, children's and youth work, hospitality, music and worship, finance, buildings operations and maintenance and information and technology services. 

## Review of the year 

Christ Church had a good year in 2025 in our ministry and mission, including our first Church Weekend Away for four years. The year felt quite stretched with the first half without an Associate Vicar and the second half without an Operations Manager when Jane Ashdown moved to the Call Manager role during the year. So, it was a delight to welcome Emma Doman to the team in September as Associate Vicar, which has strengthened our pastoral team. She has taken on the oversight of Pastoral Care, Prayer Ministry and the Six7hirty service as well adding invaluable support in communications and operations. 

## _**Worship**_ 

Our regular services of worship have continued to grow and strengthen, especially seeing a good number of families join our 10.30am service, boosting our Kids Church numbers. Alongside this we now have over 215 people in our 17 midweek _Lite Groups,_ which is a strong sign of healthy commitment in the life of the church. In June we had our first •east evening of extended worship. food, and fellowship in the same service, and now Emma has taken on the role of pastoring the _SixThiity_ there are now regular social events planned each month after the service. 

In March we had our Church Weekend Away, with the theme “Abundant", with Dave Richards (Rector of St Pauls & St Georges Edinburgh) speaking about how God gives far more than we ever expect. This was a great encouragement to step out in faith for God and specifically as we relaunched our Gateway Project (see below) The weekend was attended by 240 adults, youth and children and was a real time of fun, faith, and fellowship, helping new friendships form and old ones deepen. 

## _**Youth and**_ **Chi/dren’s min/shy** 

As our fficfs _**Ministry**_ has been growing, it's been great to see more people step onto the team ably led by Hannah Joyce, our _bids_ Pastor. New initiatives this year have been a regular monthly visit to Starbucks for the Year 6 children and 7fie treat, an ‘Alternative to Halloween“ party for Year 5 and Year 6 kids. Hannah ran a _Parenting for Failh_ course in the spring term and has strengthened links with Maybury School, who visit each Easter and Christmas, by becoming a governor. 

In C4: _Youth,_ both Sunday groups, _•use_ in the morning and _**Ignite**_ in the evening, have grown in depth and numbers. The groups have enjoyed a range of social events, and gatherings to deepen faith, such as _Luminosity_ at New Wine United, _David's Tent,_ and the local _Encounter_ event run by Engage. Ignite now have a monthly meal together before the evening service, and then serve lhere once a month. 

At the end of the year, 7 young people signed up to go to Kibera, Nairobi **on a Youth Mission** _**Trip**_ in Summer 2024, to run a Kids Holiday Club for Turning Point. The young people began fundraising in eafnest, including joining in the S/um Sozvfror initiative sleeping out to raise money for Kibera and Match4Mission. Matt Burrage, our Youth Pastor, has been ably supported this year by Josh Tuohy joining the team as an intern as part of the _New Wine Discipleship_ 'r'ear scheme. 

## Witness fa _the World_ 

CICC runs _**Alpha & Xintsugi**_ **Hope** outreach courses alongside which we continued with our weekly _Warm_ **We/come** _**Space,**_ **a** welcoming drop in on Wednesdays for all those seeking friendship, support and who maybe batt!•e isolation and loneliness. It was originally started as an initiative to help those 



struggling with cost-of-living through the winter months of 2022-2025, but has now become such a valued space that we ran it throughout 2025 and now have a committed team welcoming in 20 or so people each week. 

Our CMP _Centre_ continues to run under Sarah Goddard's committed leadership. CAP is funded via dedicated doners and through a grant from our _Isaiah Fund._ Although the CAP centre was surprisingly quiet for first half of 2025, possibly as frontline signposting services have been withdrawn, it became noticeably busier thereafter, with Sarah increasingly occupied. By end of 2025 the restricted CAP fund was significantly depleted and therefore we are now reviewing the right way to take the ministry forward on a stronger footing for 2024. 

We continue **to support oor ñfission Partner -am///es** and **Organ/safions** from around Wembley and the world, see note 13 Grants for further details. The _First Fruits_ fund, equal to 5°4 of the previous year's unrestricted giving, is set aside for our **kt/ssion** Partner _Fami/ies;_ the /saiaJ _Fund,_ which is supported by Sunday collections and an annual Gift Day, supports our Partner _Organisations_ which are charitable organisations we support around the world. In 2025 the two funds together gave just over £77k to our Mission Partners, which is equivalent to 13°4 of ouf unrestricted giving. This is a testimony to the generous heart of CICC, and the commitment we have to support mission and ministry beyond our four walls, fa enable God's love to be shared around the world. 

## **Bos7nesses and** _**buildings**_ 

Overall, our businesses continue to make a positive financial contribution to the church at the same time providing valuable missional opportunities into the town. 

The Cai'4 had a strong year posting a healthy profit which was a real testimony to the strength of the team as they adjusted to Sheila Hargreaves stepping down from her role as Café manager and Jane Ashdown moving into the position. 

_**Origin**_ **sooAs/iop** had a tougher time, being unable to quickly change prices to adjust for inflation, unlike the Café. However, the bookshop performed in line with expectations through the year seeing an increase in sales compared to 2022. Within the Gateway project we redesigned a new shop layout, including a comfortable seating area to encourage browsing, doubling up as overflow seating for the Café, Further, we are giving consideration to the future strategy of the bookshop and to inform this seek the feedback from the many customers who find the bookshop such a place of welcome and support. 

## **Conferencing** 

Conferencing has been the business to take the longest to pick up following Covid -19. Conference income for the year was significantly below expectations. However, as we approached Christmas 2025, there was a noticeable uptick in not only bookings for Christmas but also enquiries for 2024. As more workers return to their offices, room hife for conferences and training appears to be coming back into fashion, and early indications are that 2024 may perform closer to pre-pandemic levels 

## _Gate_ ' _ay_ pro/eel 

Our Gateway Projeo demonstrated significant progress during the year. With revised plans, and with planning permission expiring in Jan 2025, we relaunched the Gateway Project to the congregation. and announced new scaled-back plans, focused on delivering a new Youth & Community centre; updated kitchen, toilet, Café and bookshop facilities; more space; and opening up the west end for better access. 

Following two Gateway Gift Days in June and October the Gateway fund comprised of cash and firm pledges amounted to £3.1 million. We expect to get full faculty permission, final designs, and issue a tender during 2024 for work to start in January 2025. The main effort during 2024 will focus on grant applications and fundraising. 



CICC takes the safeguarding of children and adults seriously. Every year our CICC adopts and implements the House of Bishops' Safeguarding Policy Statement, displayed in the church entrances with contact details that anyone can use. We use the **Safeguarding** dashboard to track our progress on compliance with policies and procaduras, and this year the diocese is rolling out a **Safeguarding** _**Tracking** System_ to help us with safer rscru'itment and training of church staff and volunteers for those Wembley with children and vulnerable adults. All reported concerns continue to be escalated to the Diocesan safeguarding advisor for action or advice. Our safeguarding officers are Rachel Allen for children and Sarah Goddard for vulnerable adults. 

## Conclusion 

As we continue to look forward into 2024 and beyond, I am conscious of the challenges ahead, with the continued fundraising for Gateway becoming an increasingly important focus, whilst also at the same time not losing sight of our important ongoing mission and ministry - to grow in our love for God, and then sharing and showing his love in word and action. The way we keep our eyes on both these priorities is to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus at all times who, as our Church Weekend Away reminded us, always does “immeasurably more than all we could ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work in us". (Ephesians 3v20)

## **Financial Review** 

The financial statements provide a consolidated view on the activities of the Church covering its mission, ministry and operational businesses. The Rev7ew o/' _the_ Year report above describes the full range of events and activities that the Church has undertaken and been involved in during 2025. 

That said, the Church has been blessed with sustained strong regular giving for continuing activities and one-off donations particularly for our Gateway church premises redevelopment project. 

Total income rose £936k to £1,976k (2022: £1,038k) including associated income tax recoveries. Unrestricted fund income from donors was C495k slightly up from £488k in 2022. Restricted funds income rose to £964k compared to £197k in 2022 primarily due to donations from two specific gift days for our Gateway project which amounted to £881k (2022: £39k). Interest received on cash deposits increased to £38k (2022: £8k) due to the higher balances invested on behalf of the Gateway project which were invested at higher interest rates than the prior year. _See note_ 2 _Income and Endowments for further information._ 

Total grants paid amounted to £77k (2022: £75k). The First Fruits designated grants fund comprises 5°/» of the previous year's unrestricted donations and therefore for 2025 was a similar amount compared to 2022. During 2025, designated funds distributions of £25k (2022: £26k) was distributed to 5 (2022: 6) partner organisations. Grants made from designated and restricted funds, including our Isaiah Fund, totalled C77k (2022: £75k) which were made to 26 (2022: 21) partner organisations. _See note 13 Grants_ /'or _further information._ 

-7- 



Total expenditure, excluding grants, Café and bookshop costs, amounted to £1,042k compared to £940k in 2022, an increase of £102k. This change has resuIed from increase in activity scope compared to 2022 with the biennial Church Weekend Away and our new Associate Vicar as well as inflation which has been seen in higher salary rates, _utility_ and maintenance costs. 

Business activities income from the Café, bookshop and conferencing room hire amounted to C472k (2022: £431k) an increase of £41k with all three activities delivering improved performance compared to 2022. The net profit contribution from the Caf6 and bookshop after all associated costs was £12k compared to £9k in 2022. Revenue income from conferencing room hire was £52k compared to £51k in 2022. 

Total net incoming resources for the group were £856k (2022: M2k) primarily due to the Gateway project donations. 

Fixed asset expenditure was C13k (2022: £37k) which was mostly for the business activities. 

Total net assets and reserve funds at year end were £2,614k compared to £1,758k in 2022. 

Net current assets of the group increased by £859k io E2,439k (2022: £1,572k) primarily due to the Gateway project donations. Net asset balances included cash and deposit balances of C1,734k (2022: E1,120k), Gateway project prepayments of £409k (2022: £374k) and income tax recoverable of £248k (2022: £34k). 

Unrestricted funds increased to £85Ok (2022: £841k). At the year end the unrestricted reserves, excluding fixed assets and Gateway prepayments, were £266k (2022: M80k) which is the equivalent of 101 days of corresponding unrestricted expenditure (2022: 114 days). 

Designated funds were unchanged over the year at £171k and restricted funds increased to £1,593k from £746k, mainly due to Gateway project donations. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with the applicable accounting standards and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 2015, Accounting and Reporting by Charities.

## **Auditors' Report** 

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Christ international Christian Centre CICC Church Council (the CICC) 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of the CICC and its subsidiary (the group) for the year ended 31 October 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Company Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and the notes to the financial statements on pages seventeen to thirty. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the group and the parent charity's affairs as at 31 October 2025 and of the group's incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you were' 

- the members of the CICC's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or 

- the members of the CICC have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charity's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorized for issue. 

## Other information 

The members of the CICC are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 



## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees' report; or 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of the members of the CICC** 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Responsibilities of Members of the CICC set out on page 9, the members of the CICC are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the members of the CICC are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the members of the CICC either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

## **The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud** 

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: 

- the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognize non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; 

- we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with the members of the CICC and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector; 

- we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Charities Act 2011, data protection, employment, child protection and safeguarding, food hygiene and environmental and health and safety legislation; 

- we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and 

- identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. 



We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: 

- making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and 

- considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. 

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: 

- performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; 

- tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions: 

- assessed whether judgments and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and 

- investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. 

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: 

- agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation: 

- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and 

- reviewing correspondence with relevant regulators. 

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would besome aware of non-complianœ. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the members of the CICC and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. 

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. 

Use of our report 

This report is made solely to the members of the CICC, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 4 of the Charities Acl 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the members of the CICC those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the CICC and the members of the CICC as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed

Funds designated for a particular purpose by the CICC are also unrestricted. The income into restricted funds is restricted by the donors. 

The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the CICC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.

Freehold land and buildings Over SO years Equipment Over 4 years Furniture _and_ Fittings _Over 10_ years
