Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	The charity's core objectives are to promote the Christian faith, alleviate sickness and hardship, and enhance education.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	Our church is dedicated to fulfilling our main objective and vision by providing both material and spiritual benefits to the public in our local community. We offer various services that are accessible to everyone, not exclusively limited to church members. One significant service we provide is a befriending and referral program, which is available whenever there is a need. Additionally, our building serves as a training Centre for nursing homes and care providers. We actively encourage community use of our facilities, including hosting clubs, societies, social activities, and even birthday parties.
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	The Trustees of our charity are fully aware of the guidance on public benefit and have taken measures to ensure that all the services we offer within our building are accessible to everyone in the local community. The building is not solely dedicated to church activities but also serves other purposes. We actively encourage community utilisation of the building. At present, local care providers make use of the facility for training purposes on weekdays and some Saturdays when it is not being utilised by the church.

Policy on grant making	Para 1.38	We provide small gifts and assistance to individuals whenever a need arises or is brought to our attention. Our primary focus has been on assisting with food costs, particularly during this challenging economic downturn. Additionally, we offer support for overnight accommodation or travel expenses in genuine situations where assistance is warranted.
Policy on social investment including program related investment	Para 1.38	Currently, Kettering Christian Centre does not hold any investments.
Contribution made by volunteers	Para 1.38	Kettering Christian Centre greatly relies on the dedicated support of its members and volunteers who play a vital role in the operation of the premises and various service areas. Without their contributions, maintaining the current level of functionality would have been extremely challenging. Our volunteers are involved in a range of tasks, including ministry, music, cleaning, administration work, IT, and hospitality. Their diverse professional backgrounds have immensely benefited the charity. Moreover, we provide tailored training to the volunteers based on the specific roles they choose to be involved in. This ensures that they are well- equipped and prepared for their volunteer responsibilities.

Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	KCC is experiencing significant growth as an organisation in terms of membership, spiritual development, and financial stability compared to previous years. This positive trend is excellent news for our beneficiaries as it enables us to meet our financial obligations and support the various aspects of our charity. It also allows us to extend assistance to a larger number of individuals within our community who are facing hardships, particularly during the current economic downturn. Furthermore, the ministry is benefiting from the increased membership, leading to an increase in the number of volunteers. This growth indicates that the ministry is thriving, and as a result, our members are experiencing greater satisfaction and fulfilment. We are delighted to see these positive outcomes and the positive impact it has on our organisation as a whole.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	The implementation of online donation methods has resulted in a notable increase in the charity's income. Additionally, the growing number of donors joining the church has significantly improved our financial position. These developments have played a pivotal role in boosting our overall finances, allowing us to further support our charitable initiatives and meet the needs of our beneficiaries.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	The charity places great emphasis on maintaining reserves equivalent to three months of operating costs. This deliberate approach provides us with a necessary cushion in case of any unexpected decline in income. By having these reserves in place, we ensure that we have the flexibility and breathing space to navigate any potential financial challenges that may arise.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	The charity holds funds in reserve that are equivalent to three months of running costs. These reserves are not only designated for the purpose of maintaining financial stability but also intended to support the expansion of services provided by the charity. Additionally, a portion of the reserves is allocated for covering renovation and maintenance expenses related to the upkeep of the building. This strategic allocation ensures that the charity is well-prepared to sustain its operations, accommodate growth, and effectively maintain its facilities.
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22	N/A
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24	N/A
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23	N/A

Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:

The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising)	Para 1.47	The primary source of income for the charity is derived from church membership through cash contributions made on Sundays or online donations. Additionally, we receive donations from members of the community who rent our facilities for various functions, including training sessions for their own members. These combined sources of income provide vital financial support for the charity's activities and enable us to continue serving both the church community and the broader local community.
Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted	Para 1.46	The primary investment of KCC is the church building itself. Currently, there are no other investments held by the organisation. Any future investments will only be made in secure opportunities where the funds can be safeguarded. The focus remains on maintaining and utilising the church building effectively to fulfill the mission and objectives of KCC.
A description of the principal risks facing the charity	Para 1.46	KCC has implemented policies to effectively manage risks associated with the charity, and these policies are reviewed on an annual basis. One notable area of success is the retention of our trained volunteers, as we place significant importance on their continued commitment and support. However, the potential risk of losing volunteers due to relocation or retirement is a constant reminder for us to remain vigilant and proactive in ensuring the sustainability of our volunteer base. Efforts are made to address this risk and maintain a strong volunteer team to sustain the operations and services of the charity.
