Trustees annual report for Kingswinford Christian fellowship (charity) The past year for us has been a good year, as a church we have continued to grow as a body and the work that we do in the community. We regularly welcome in outside groups such as the Stroke Association and Highflyers (a support group for those with learning difficulties). Our stay and playgroup for pre school children continues to grow and flourish and we have also become a warm bank as well, offering those who are struggling with the cost of living a place to enjoy a free warm drink and more importantly stay warm for a while as well. Our links with the community outside the building continues to grow as well, as we have joined in with two major community events (Christmas Light switch on and coronation celebration) and working with the newly formed Kingswinford Community group we will be working closer with local businesses and the community in the future. We still maintain strong ties with the Townsend place market and have run several times of outreach on the marketplace. Our children’s work has also grown over the past year with the appointment of a new Children’s leader who brings not just a passion for the role but a vision for it as well and we look forward to seeing a revitalisation in the children’s ministry as the children grow in the Lord. We have also thanks to the faithfulness of the fellowship been able to sow into other projects both in the UK and Abroad, helping support UK organisations like ReachOut (homeless ministry), St Alfreds School and local missionaries. Further afield we have been able to continue to support our mission partners in Pakistan and Brazil as well as starting to support missions work in Columbia which we expect to grow over time. We have been blessed with a wonderful building where the fellowship and ministries meet and operate from, however time has not been kind to the building, and we are now in the position of looking to replace our boiler and several windows in the building as well as beginning plans to update the bathroom facilities. While we would normally look at grants to help with this due to other circumstances (see below) we currently aren’t in a position to do so and for now will have to rely on the kindness of the congregation and fundraising We are still in the middle of trying to sort out the new/old charity with delays on getting things signed and other issues and so we are now projecting that it won’t be resolved until 2024 which is a lot longer and unfortunately costing more than we originally estimated and budgeted, however we know that once it is done it will put us as a charity in a good position for many years to come Brian Bassingthwaighte Chair of Trustees Balance Sheet Kingswinford Christian Centre As at 31 December 2022 91 DEC2022 Fixed Assets Tan ibleAssets 175,000.00 Churthequipfflent OIFice Eguipmeni TotalTanglbleAss@ts 24,495.54 7,406.68 206,902.22 Total FixédA55Ots 206,90122 Current Assets Cash at bank and in hand 3,157.71 LMI MISSIONS Totsl Cash at bank and in hand 10,195.58 13,353.29 TotalCurrentknet5 13.353.29 Creditors: amounts fallln KINGSVJINFORD CHRISTI due wlthln one ear 2,697.96 Nest Pension 128.84 PAYE Payable PenslonsPayablÈ Wages Payable- Payroll Totaicreditors.. amounts fallingdue wilhinone year 12,383.211 1596.641 113,273.901 IL3.426.g51 Net Current Assets (Liabilities) 26,780.24 Total Assets less Current Liabilities 233.6BZ46 Net Assets 33,682A6 Ca ital and Reserves Currentyear Earnings De¥gnèted réserves RestrictÈd reseNes Is￿?5.54 I79,624.80 9,602.54 Unrestricted rEserve5 18.629.58 Total Capitaland Re5er¥es 233.68146 Bala￿￿ sh￿@t Kingswinfordchrlstia￿ Centre Income and Expenditure Account Kingswinford Christian Centre For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 Income Donabonsto specific cause GiftAid 2J68.0 13,071.60 Mi551Dn donatlDn5 2200.00 Olferings Parches 31,740.68 I￿50.00 10,IUO.QD Dlrect Ekpènses 1594.281 Income 60,728.50 Administrative Costs Audit &Accountancyfee5 Gèneral Expensès 4T6.00 1303.25 Insurance IP88.85 IT &Jftware and Consumables 6B3.06 Legal Expenses Lighl, Power.
