Annual Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 September 2024
The Trustees submit their annual report and the financial statements of Muswell Hill Christian Assembly Trust (“the Church”) for the year ended 30 September 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in the format prescribed by the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP2019 (FRS102)). The legal and administrative information set out earlier in this document forms part of this report.
1. Structure, Governance & Management
1.1 Trustees
The appointment of Trustees is made by the serving Trustees at the time. Their duties include the holding of the Church’s land and buildings for the benefit of the Church and the monitoring of the implementation of the Church’s objects. Trustees meet at least once per annum to receive and discuss annual reports and plans from the Pastor/Minister.
None of the Trustees currently receives remuneration.
The induction process for any newly-appointed Trustee comprises an initial meeting with the Chair and receipt of copies of:
-
the trust deed
-
the most recent financial statements
1.2 Day to Day Management
The day to day management of the Church is undertaken during the year by the Pastor and his Church Council which includes one of the Trustees (from 30 September 2024). Council members are elected by the Church member’s meeting. Council members will normally serve a term of 3 years. Council members meet approximately 12 times per annum to discuss a full range of matters relating to finance, fabric, general administration, the observance of the Church‘s objects and responsibility for the keeping of the Church membership roll.
2. Activities and the Public Benefit
The Church is an urban multi-ethnic evangelical congregation with a membership of 19.
The Trustees have given due regard to the Charity Commissions’ guidance on public benefit. During the year the Church continued to carry out the following activities in order to promote the Gospel in the local neighbourhood:
-
Sunday Worship
-
Children & Youth’s activities
-
Bible Study and prayer meeting
-
Christian counselling
-
Pastoral visits
3. Review of Activities
The church congregation on Sunday is around 30-35.
The home groups continue to meet regularly, free legal advice has been given weekly (except during school holidays). We are facilitating the running of a Trussell Trust Food Bank which is open 3 morning a week.
4. Financial Review
4.1 Financial Activity and Financial Position
The church is funded by the freewill offerings of members and others in attendance, together with some letting’s income.
3
MUSWELL HILL CHRISTIAN ASSEMBLY TRUST (WILTON COMMUNITY CHURCH)
Annual Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 September 2024
The financial position is reviewed by the Church Council monthly and as necessary the congregation is informed of any needs to be met. It is also encouraging that requests for specific needs or activities have been met in full.
The Statement of Financial Activities and the balance sheet can be found on pages 7 and 8 respectively. The Church’s financial resources decreased by £98,208 during the year (2023: decreased by £5,920). The balance sheet shows total net assets of £1,650,031 (2023: £1,748,239).
Restricted funds are monies raised or donated subject to conditions attached to their use. Details of these funds are shown in note 8.
4.2 Reserves Policy
The Trustees have examined the requirements for free reserves, ie unrestricted funds not invested in tangible fixed assets. The Trustees consider that, given the nature of the church’s work, free reserves should be equivalent to approximately 3 months’ routine general fund expenditure, plus committed future expenditure on other projects, where funds permit. The Trustees are of the opinion that this provides sufficient flexibility to cover temporary shortfalls in incoming resources and will allow the Church to cope and respond to unforeseen emergencies whilst specific action plans are implemented. At 30 September 2024 the Church had net free reserves of £182,935 (2023: £38,899).
| Total reserves Less: restricted funds (excl. tangible fixed assets) Less: tangible fixed assets Add: long term loans Free reserves Free reserves requirement: 3 month’s budgeted routine expenditure |

The Trustees are aware that the free reserves are currently in excess of free reserves requirement.
4.3 Investment Policy
The church currently invests spare funds in an interest-bearing bank account.
4.4 Grants Policy
The Church makes grants as a result of special appeals to support missionary endeavours both in the UK and abroad. The policy of the church is to give grants on the basis that they are subject to annual review. The missionary works supported this year are shown in note 8. In addition, the Church makes anonymous love gifts, at the discretion of the Council members, to those in need within, and outside of, the Church fellowship.
5. Plans for Future Periods
The church will concentrate on its activities in the church building and the manse.

6. Responsibilities of Trustees for the Financial Statements
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. Charity law in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year.
In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the activities of the charity will continue.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enables them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the governing document. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Trustees and Church Council are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the Church’s financial information included in the Church’s website.
7. Approval
The report of the Trustees was approved by the Trustees on 27 May 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

MUSWELL HILL CHRISTIAN ASSEMBLY TRUST (WILTON COMMUNITY CHURCH)
Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of Muswell Hill Christian Assembly Trust (Wilton Community Church)
I report on the financial statements of Muswell Hill Christian Assembly Trust for the year ended 30 September 2024, set out on pages 7 to 17.
This report is made solely to the Trustees in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act). My independent examination has been undertaken so that I might state to the Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by the law, I do not accept responsibility to anyone other than the Trust and the Trustees for my independent examination, for this report, or the opinions I have formed.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period (under section 144(2) of the Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Act);
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Direction given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act); and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the church as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

MUSWELL HILL CHRISTIAN ASSEMBLY TRUST (WILTON COMMUNITY CHURCH)
Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 September 2024
1. Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102). The financial statements are drawn up on the historical cost basis of accounting except for the revaluation of freehold land and buildings which are shown at fair value.
The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the Church is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe an affiliation to another body or those that are informal gatherings of church members.
The Church meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
Going Concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern and accordingly the accounts have been drawn up on a going concern basis.
Income recognition
Voluntary income and donations (including legacies) are accounted for once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be reliably measured. Income from the recovery of tax on gift aided donations is accounted for in the period in which the relevant donation is received.
The income from other trading activities includes rental income from the letting of the church manse which is accounted for when earned. It is shown gross, with the associated costs included in expenditure on fundraising.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Church; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Expenditure recognition
Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable, and the amount of obligation can be measured reliably. Longer term liabilities are discounted to present value. The Church is not registered for VAT and accordingly expenditure includes VAT where appropriate.
Charitable expenditure includes those costs in fulfilling the Church’s principal objects, as outlined in the Report of the Church. These include grants payable and governance costs:
-
Grants/gifts payable are payments made to third parties in furtherance of the Church’s objects. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant. Grants awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled condition attaching to that grant is outside of the control of the Church.
-
Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the Church and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to the independent examination and legal fees.

MUSWELL HILL CHRISTIAN ASSEMBLY TRUST (WILTON COMMUNITY CHURCH)
Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 September 2024
1. Accounting Policies (continued)
Taxation
As a charity, the Church is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within the provisions of the Corporation Taxes Act 2010 or the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects. No tax charges have arisen on the Trust.
Tangible Fixed Assets
The Church building and the Church manse are stated at fair value. The buildings will be revalued on a regular basis with the next valuation taking place as at 30 September 2024. Depreciation is not provided as the estimated residual value is considered to be the same or higher than the carrying value of the property in the accounts.
The cost of furniture, fittings and equipment, less any expected residual value, is depreciated on a straight line basis over the effective useful life of the asset, which has been estimated as three years.
Debtors
Debtors are included at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of opening of the deposit.
Loans
The Church’s loans, which are with church members and regular attenders, are all unsecured and pay interest at a rate of 3% per annum, qualify as basic financial instruments and are classified as concessionary loans. Concessionary loans are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. The loans were fully repaid during the year to 30 September 2024.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation arising from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognised at their settlement amount. Provisions have been calculated at the best estimate of the settlement amount and discounted to present value at the reporting date.
Fund accounting
The funds held by the charity are either:
-
Unrestricted general funds - these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.
-
Restricted funds - these are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
