## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** ## **From: 01/11/2021 Period start date: To: 31/10/2022 Period end date** ## **Charity name: Kettering Christian Centre** ## **Charity registration number: 1054423** ## **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.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |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.| |Other||| ## **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

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.| |Other||| ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |Description of charity’s
