TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Legal Status

The Charity’s governing document is a Declaration of Trust dated 26th November 1993. The Charity was registered on 7[th] December 1993. On 25th October 2012 a supplemental agreement was signed by the Trustees regarding the number and appointment of Trustees and submitted to the Charity Commission. C&M Ministries continues to support and develop the heritage work of Clifford and Monica Hill.

Management/Organisation

The Trustees have met on Zoom officially 3 times in 2024: on 30[th] April 2024 and 5[th] November 2024 for general trustees’ meetings; and on 30[th] April 2024 for the AGM. The trustees also met informally to discuss various on-going matters as required. In accordance with the trustee retirement rota, Neil Harvey and Jenny Cooper were re-appointed for a further term of office at the Trustees meeting on 30[th] April 2024. Simon Copley continued in the post of Finance Manager.

Risk Management Statement

The Trustees regularly review the major risks to which the charity is exposed and, where appropriate, put in place systems and activity to mitigate those risks. Trustees are committed to ongoing risk assessment and quality monitoring processes. A Trustee Indemnity Policy is in operation as well as other relevant insurance policies.

Objectives and Activities

The Charity’s objects continue to be the promotion of the Christian faith, as set out in the governing document, and supporting the heritage work of the ministry initiated by Dr Clifford and Mrs Monica Hill.

Achievements and Performance

The work of C&M Ministries has continued to develop during 2024. Throughout the year, the trustees have worked with Clifford and Monica Hill and are very happy to report on the progress of several projects.

The Charity’s new website went live in February 2024 and now contains many of the archival records of Clifford and Monica Hill that have been digitalised by our team of volunteers. It also contains information about Clifford and Monica’s books and other aspects of their past ministry.

C&M Ministries published 2 new paperback books during 2024: ‘Today with Ezekiel’ (volumes 1 and 2) In March 2024, and ‘The Moggerhanger Chronicles’ (vol 1) in December 2024. An on-line book, ‘East Enders Restoration, the Harold Road Story’, was also published on our website in November 2024.

C&M Ministries continues to send out quarterly newsletters to those on our ever-expanding supporter database, with alternate quarterly supporter zoom meetings proving popular as well. Many supporters have sent in memories of their past involvement with the ministry, and

4

C AND M MINISTRIES

these have been added to a special section of the website so that others can also enjoy reminiscing.

The ministry has continued to develop links with other organisations and archival groups who might be interested in receiving some of C&MM’s unique material in the future, and plans are in place to develop this work further during 2025.

Finally, the trustees of C&M Ministries have to report the sad news of the death of Monica Hill, one of the founders of the charity. Monica died very suddenly on 24[th] December 2024 having been working for the ministry right until the time of her death. Although she will obviously be greatly missed, the trustees are determined to complete her work and ensure the work of C&M Ministries continues in 2025.

Public Benefit

The Trustees have had due regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission on Public Benefit and they see a fulfilment of their responsibilities in the following ways:

Financial Review

As the work of C&M Ministries has developed throughout 2024, the trustees have been greatly encouraged with the amount of ongoing support and regular donations continuing to be received. They have also been very grateful to the regular volunteers who have offered to help the charity in various ways. This has allowed the trustees to plan and budget for the ongoing heritage work of the charity with confidence

Regular donations from supporters during the year have continued to cover the general costs of the Charity, enabling it to continue on a stable footing. Trustees have agreed that legacies and additional gifts should be used, in accordance with the objectives of the charity, to fund both grants and special projects relating to the digitalisation and facilitation of archive material, thus providing greater access through the charity’s website and other organisations. The Charity has not received any major legacies during the year, but the trustees continue to monitor the use of past legacies.

The Trustees are on constant watch to be good stewards of the resources received and using them in accordance with the donors' expectations. Income and Expenditure are reported and reviewed by the Officers on a quarterly basis, while bank balances are monitored on a monthly or more frequent basis.

Reserves Policy

Reserves are held by the Charity to ensure:
