GREENFORD GOSPEL CHURCH TRUST
TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Trustees have pleasure in submitting their Annual Report, and the financial statements for
the year to 31 March 2025, which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Statement
of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS
102), and the Charities Act 2011.
Structure and management
The church is an unincorporated Trust and is governed by its Trust Deed dated 19 February 1998. It is
registered with the Charity Commission. The ongoing activities of the church are overseen by the church
Elders and the trustees. Trustees are appointed by resolution of the existing trustee body. All trustees are
given information relating to the responsibilities of trustees and the work of the church. Further training is
provided as appropriate.
Objectlves and activities
Greenford Gospel Church Trusl was founded to:
Advance the Christian Faith in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs in the London Borough of
Ealing and in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Trustees may from time
to time think fit.
Relieve persons who are in conditions of need or hardship or who are aged or sick and to relieve
the distress caused thereby in the London Borough of Ealing and in such other parts of the United
Kingdom or the world as the Trustees may from time to time think fit;
Promote or fulfil such other charitable purposes beneficial to the community in the said London
Borough of Ealing and in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Trustees may
from time to time think fit.
In pursuing these aims, the Trustees sought to comply with and follow the Charity Commission guidelines
on public benefit.
Achievement and performance
Greenford Gospel Church Trust met most Sundays for a time of worship, prayer and teaching. During
the year, the church congregation held on a Sunday average between 20 and 30 people.
The community around Greenford Gospel Church is of mixed ethnic origins. We have experienced a
transient congregation typical of many churches in London where we have had many visitors who attend
2 to 3 times and then move on. There are signs that the church is starting to grow again and numbers
are increasing. The Church members freely give of their time and tslents under the leadership of the
Elders. Regular activities may include:
Weddings
Baptisms
Funerals
Sunday morning worship service, weekly meeting involving Worship. Bible Teaching, Children's
ministry
Wednesday night prayer meeling
Friday - Bible study
Easter Outreach
Christmas Outreach
Christmas and other fellowship meals
Women's breakfasts

a) Teen Challenge London - Helping people break free from drug and alcohol addiction
b) E gangs - Helping young people caught up in street gangs
c) One fulltime missionary in Pakistan
d) Brick Kiln Families - project in Pakistan to set workers and families free from the Brick Kilns
e) The Church is also involved with Connections UK and support their work and vision.
Reference and administratlve details
The legal and administrative details required by law are set out on page 1 and form part of this report.
Flnanclal Review and Reserves Policy
The small, committed congregation continue to support the work of the church and the church is financially
self-sufficient. The modernisation of the front aspect of the church was started in August 2024 and
completed in March 2025. The trustees also use some of our surplus funds to help mission abroad. This
is achieved through relationships with those actively involved in church mission abroad and in the UK.
Bank account- 31 March 2025: £47,362 of which £30,000 is held in reserve.
Future developments
Since the end of the reporting year, the Church Membership has continued to fluctuate between 20 and
30 people. The new developments at Greenford Quay and Atrium Point have provided a small growth in
attendance.
The redevelopment of the church building includes a new front glass extension and with the creation of an
open plan lounge and refreshment area. This open and inviting space will provide an excellent
multipurpose resource for the church to use.

TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 (continued)
Trustees, Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance
with the applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. Charity law 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 surplus or deficit of the charity for that year. In preparing those
financial statements. the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the Charities SORP, the Regulations
made under section 44 of the Charities Act and applicable accounting standards, subject to any
material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that
the charity will continue to operate.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable
accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial
statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of
the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other
irregularities.
