1.0 Overview of Annual income
Voluntary giving to the Charity through the means of Tithes and general Offering, continue to be the main source of income. The Charity continues to seek ways in which to diversify its income through offering services to the community and the use of its premises. The Charity has once again
3
demonstrated sound governance to ensure the Charity has been able to fulfil its operational and constitutional objectives.
During this financial year 2024-2025 the Charities income was £176,440 in contrast to 2023-2024, which was £136,000. This represents an increase of 26%. The breakdown and itemisation of the income suggests that the Charity continues to be in a sound financial position to continue achieving its charitable objectives and being of public benefit to the communities the Charity serves.
2.0 Income Analysis
The income for the Charity remains sufficient to resource the Charity’s work and objectives. Voluntary income from members and supporters of the Charity continue to be the main source of finance for the Charity.
2.1 The Charity was able to benefit from rental income which for the financial year 2024-2025 was £4,737 compared to 2023-2024 which was £2,401
, which is an increase of 65%. The Charity continues to maintain good relationships with the Local Council, who tend to use premises for Elections. It is hoped that through further promotion of the church buildings mixed use potential, rental will increase. Third party income remains an important source for supplementing the general means of income for the Charity.
2.2 The Family Therapy Centre continues to provide an invaluable resource for individuals, families and couples. With subsidised fees the income for 2024-2025 was £600, a decrease of 40%.
2.3 Gift Aid claims made a substantial difference to the income for the Charity. The claim of £35,600 covered the financial year 2024-2025
2.4 The Charity continued to benefit from Project funding for the financial year 2024-2025. The figure of £1500 is a carry-over from the funding of £9950 received in the previous financial year. The funding covered the Charity’s holistic approach to well-being with a particular emphasis on Mental Health and the well-being of Senior Citizens. It is intended that the funding will facilitate day trips, workshops social events and therapeutic programs. The funding would provide the financial base for the Charity to broaden its therapeutic service to the people in and outside the local community.
2.5 Overseas missions continue to be an important aspect of the Charities work. The income received for Mission tends to be the mission re payments from participants once flights and accommodation has been booked. The Charity continues to attract incredible support in terms of clothes, shoes and toiletries for distribution in some of the poorest communities in Kenya and Uganda. The Charity continues to explore further funding for its missionary work.
3.0. Overview of Annual Expenditure.
The expenditure of the Charity has remained consistent with its charitable objectives, and we are satisfied that sufficient mechanisms exist to safeguard this. Namely, the utilising of various financial forms which must be submitted before spending is authorised. The two-signature protocol also remains in place whereby monies cannot be withdrawn without two authorised signatories present. There has been a conscious effort to ensure that the annual expenditure remains commensurate with the Charity’s ability to improve its efficiency and broaden its impact without compromising effective service to the public. The expenditure for this financial year was £89,500 compared to £109,000 in 2023-2024 which is a decrease of 19%. We pleased that there
4
remains a commitment to invest in the core objectives of the Charity. As Trustees, we are satisfied that the expending of the Charity’s resources, continue to be in line with our financial policies and charitable objectives.
4.0 Expenditure Analysis
The current financial mechanisms have enabled the Charity to plan its spending in a sensible and conscientious manner despite the impact of the of the cost-of-living crisis. The overall expenditure remains consistent with the Charity’s objectives outlined in the constitution. The Charity continues to provide support and resources for its members, most notably in the area of pastoral care, the well-being of senior citizens, professional counselling, Mental Health, through the Wholesome Minds Support group and personal development initiatives through inter-generational activities.
4.1 The Church Building & Office Equipment are paramount to the Charity’s administration practices therefore resources continue to be made available to ensure that the building and equipment are fit for purpose. There was a 42% reduction in expenditure for Church building running costs this financial year but an increase in admin and stationery of 105% equivalent to a difference of £2,353. However, with Microsoft support of Windows 10 coming to an end in November 2025, this figure may increase. There is also the ongoing process of maintaining all heating, alarm and security systems and updating, when necessary, equipment for the live broadcast of the Charity’s services.
4.2 The Charity continues to meet its mortgage obligations. Annual mortgage repayment was £15,536. The mortgage remains one of the priority expenditures of the Charity and income suggests that this obligation remains achievable.
4.3 The Charity has four employees. Firstly, a part-time Administrator who provides administrative support for the Charity activities, a Media administrator who provides the core media support for all the Charity’s social and digital media, a Pastoral Co-ordinator who provides pastoral support for all the members and a full time Bishop who provides the oversight and management of all the office staff and the Charity’s local, national and international activities. The costs for salaries, tax and pension for the year 2023-24 amounted to £53,500 which represents approximately 30% of the income for the financial year. As Trustees we believe that this expense is appropriate and ethical in relation to the annual income and Charity objectives. In regard to HMRC, Tax and Insurance, the employers’ tax and insurance continue to be paid on time and all workers notified of the Pension Scheme.
4.4 As in previous years, the Charity continues to invest financially in Events and activities that reflect its aims and objectives. The expenditure for the financial year is £9800, a slight increase on the previous figure of £9500 from the previous financial year. Online subscriptions have been maintained in order to maximise the digital platforms available to hosts various activities and meetings for the Church. The Sunday Services remain the Charity’s main gathering along with its annual Harvest Conference in June, which is intended to broaden the reach and impact of the Charity .
5.0 Reserve Policy
The Trustees recognise that the current reserve policy requires 3 months operating costs to be left in the main Charity account at all times unless exceptional circumstances demand that this figure be reduced. The reserve account equates to £30,000.
5
6.0 Pensions Scheme
The Charity currently utilises the People’s Pension Scheme which is distributed and administered by B & CE Financial Services Ltd. Manor Royal, Crawley, West Sussex, RH10 9QP.
