Objects

Activities and achievements
The charity operates a non-denominational church, Canley Community Church which meets
at Charter Avenue. Coventry, CV4 8DA. The Trustees aim to provide well-furnished
premises to cater for the wide range of activities undertaken in the buildings.
The Church was established in November 1956 on its current site, and now has a formal
membership of approximately 45 in number.
The church has operated a number of activities throughout the year including
Sunday services
Mid-week house groups and Bible study groups
Mid-week craft groups and social activitie5 (eg Cameo)
A temi-time community café on two days a week
Other community activities
Similarly, the church has operated the following activities for children and young people
Sunday morning children's groups
Mid-week carers and toddlers, groups
Friday after-school youth café
Monday evening youth Bible study
John Walters has continued to be supported in his work as a missionary overseas. In
addition, gifts have also been provided to Christian ministries where the church has a
connection.
In order to perform these activitie5, and achieve its objectives, the Charity has employed the
following full and part time workers..
Mr D Preston- Pastoral Community Worker (retired 31 August 2023)
Mr T Houston - Pastoral Community Worker (commenced 1 May 2023)
Ms M Brooker- Church Community Worker
Ms L Cutts- Catering Manager
Ms C Howarth - Catering Assistant
A cleaner was employed on a part time basis to 31 July 2023.
Whilst the church does employ and support these workers, it is the work of every member of
the church, employed or not. that will make the difference in the church achieving its aims.
This is done by the church members being involved in the everyday life of the community, in
public teaching and worship, and also in administration. Much of this work is done privately,
without recognition and the hours and the value of that time cannot be quantified.

Financial review
The Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
The Charity's principal source of funds is donations from the Church members. However, in
addition, the attendees of the Community Café contribute to support the direct costs of their
activities, and rental income is received from the property owned by the charity.
The Charity operates by using several funds. to monitor and maintain expenditure in line with
resources as below..
General: Main fund for incoming donations and transfers out to support the other funds
Missionary.. Supports the Church's full-time missionary, short term missionaries and
other mission works
Outreach.. Supports the wide range of outreach works to the local community include
children's and youth works, and mid-week activities such as CAMEO
Building Care & Services.. Supports the general church running costs and building
maintenance
Church House.- Relates to income and expenditure of the church house.
Church Workers.. Supports the employees of the church as they work for the church in
the local community
Cafe.. Relates to the direct income and expenditure relating to the café and catering
activities
Trustees. discretion.. Holds amounts given for specific reasons, but to be used at the
discretion of the Trustees
The balance on these unrestricted funds, is targeted to be at a minimum of 3 months
expenditure equivalent.
In addition, there is a building reserve unrestricted fund, which is set aside for significant
expenditure that may occur on the church buildings.
Restricted funds represent amounts earmarked by individuals for specific church uses,
individual missionaries or Christian workers.
The Trustees monitor bank balances and reserve levels on a monthly basis to ensure funds
are sufficient to continue the Church's activities.
