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,

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 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,
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.| ## **Financial Review** |Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|Online donations is the princiole source of
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 in a safe enviroment| |---|---|---| |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
whilst meeting our current liabilities
Currently funding is set aside building

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 set
aside 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

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