activities, projects or
services identified in the

1.19		 As a church we continue as part of our main
objective and vision to offer the public material
and spiritual benefits within our locality. These
services we offer to our local community. All of
the activities of the church are open to the

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, 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 1.2 KCC has maintained its supportive role in the
community by offering financial assistance,
food parcels and referral to the relevant
service providers when necessary
The membership as an organisation in terms of
growth as remained steady and more people
are completing training in their respective
areas of responsibility. For example, Pastoral,
teaching, Sunday School, Admin and building
maintenance and mentoring to those who
need it
KCC is a church of 50+ people with diverse age,
culture and ethnicity and everybody is
welcome and are services provided are for the
whole community not just fellowship
attendees
Investment performance
against objectives		 Para 1.41 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

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 for building
renovation
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 The funds held in reserve are 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.

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.
