**Fylde Christian Service Church for the Year Ended 31[st] December 2024** ## **Annual Report for the Year Ended 31[st] December 2024** Fylde Christian Service Church was registered with the Charity Commission by Deed of Trust Dated 9[th] September 1996, Registered Charity No. 1058451. The Church and office address is 46 St Andrews Road South, St Annes-on-Sea FY8 1PS The Charity Trustees during this period ended 31st December 2024 were: Mr. J. Cushing Chairman & Contact Person Mrs K. Gallacher Mrs A. L. Strickland Treasurer Mrs. T. Moss Mr. P (Jack) Hawkings The Charity's bankers are: Charity Official Investment Fund (COIF). Virgin and The Royal Bank of Scotland Cambridge & Counties bank The principal objects of the charity are: - a. To advance the Christian faith; - b. To relieve persons in conditions of need or hardship or aged or sick; and - c. Other charitable purposes of benefit to the community. ## **Review of Progress and Achievements** The Church contracts the services of a full-time pastor. At the end of August 2024 the previous long serving pastor retired and has been replaced by a new pastor. A part-time position for a family worker to make better contact with the local community has been advertised, but up to December 2024 has not been filled. All other assistance is on a voluntary basis. The Church provides a Sunday morning service with Sunday morning Junior Church classes and creche and regular mid week meetings. Several new families from diverse backgrounds and ethnicity are now attending regularly with children from babies up to young teenagers. Additional a monthly children's afternoon meeting runs to which children from the town are invited , as well as church children. A number of dis-advantaged members of the local community regularly attend our meetings. They find this a safe place and are receiving friendship and encouragement that they are lacking elsewhere in their dealing with society. 1 **Fylde Christian Service Church** ~~Trustees’ Annual Report~~ **for the Year Ended 31[st] December 2024** We give financial and spiritual support towards various missionary organisations and individuals; missionaries both at home and in Uganda, Romania, South Africa, Zambia and China. A gift was sent to an English aid worker in Romania working with Care Trust Romania and to Care Trust Romania to aid those in need. As a Church we sponsor a junior school in Uganda in a remote village called Magada. Individual Church members also sponsor children in Uganda by paying towards their education. Again as a Church we have built up good relationships with many people in Uganda over many years and are in regular contact with someone who goes there several times a year. We give gifts to guest speakers who attend special meetings throughout the year. ## **Financial Review** Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £76,711, over 50% of the income received by the church comes from regular donations from individuals registered for Gift Aid. Unrestricted income in the year increased 1% against 2023 receipts. Total unrestricted expenditure in the year for the church was £67,290 with £55,280 relating specifically to the activities of the church, and £12,009 relating to maintenance of the building and the loan repayment. The unrestricted fund ended the year with a reduction of £14,300, this was mainly due to early repayment of building loan from the churches surplus cash holding. The church also regularly collects restricted funds for guest speakers, church missions and supporting the church in Romania and a local church and school in Uganda with which it has close ties, total income on restricted funds across these activities was £24,720 with expenses of £24,306, timing of collects vs. release of these funds can be associated with timing of school term dates in Uganda. The Designated fund was previously largely related to the building activity including income received from individuals to support the loan payment and utilities paid by this account. During the year the items covered by this fund were subsumed into the general fund. ## **Reserves Policy** The church's intention is to maintain an unrestricted reserve of £20,000 to cover any low income periods and ensure the salary of the pastor can be met for at least a 6 month period. The church also intends to hold an additional amount of £10,000 to cover any emergency repairs to the building that could become necessary. With £75,335 carried forward in the unrestricted fund and £19,267 in the designated fund, this level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. 2 de Christian servi￿ Churth Inde ndent Examinerfs Re for the Year Ended 31" De￿mber 2024 I report to the charity trustees on myexamination of the accounts of Fylde Christian Service Church for the year ended 3151 December 2024 which are set out on pages 4-& Responslbllltles and basi5 of report As the Charltvs tn15tees you are responslble forthe wepatation of the accounts in accordarKe wlth the reoulrements of the Charlties Art 20111'the ACV).
