Christian Fellowship in Richmond
TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The trustees, who are the charity's directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year.
1. Objects of the charity
The charity is a charitable company and is governed by its memorandum and articles of association. The objects of the charity, as set out in the governing document are:
-
(a) to promote the Christian faith in accordance with the Basis of Faith in the United Kingdom and overseas in particular (but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) through the Christian Fellowship in Richmond congregation and other congregations as may be established from time to time or with which Christian Fellowship in Richmond may be in close association.
-
(b) to relieve the aged, the poor and needy, the sick and those in conditions of hardship or distress, in particular (but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) to those who in the opinion of the Trustees hold a belief in the New Testament and/or Old Testament of the Bible.
-
(c) to advance education, in particular (but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) with regard to the Bible, to Christian concepts, and to a biblical perception of other faiths, ideologies and/or philosophies; and
-
(d) to promote such other charitable objects as the Trustees from time to time determine.
The trustees note that the Church is not a building, but a gathering of ordinary people of different ages and backgrounds, whose lives have been changed by Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The New Testament reveals the Church as a community of people, properly taught and cared for, who by loving and serving Jesus Christ, were also committed to love and care for each other and to bring a blessing to the area in which they lived. Christian Fellowship In Richmond; its trustees, elders and members are committed to the restoration of those New Testament principles. It is not alone in this, it is one of many Churches in the area, country and all over the world that is re-discovering the excitement of knowing Jesus Christ. The vision is to see the people of Richmond-Upon-Thames come into this experience of knowing Jesus as their Lord, Saviour and friend.
2. Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements
To further the above objects and vision, the charity's main activities and achievements were as follows:
-
The use of the Charity’s premises for Christian worship, meetings, clubs and activities.
-
● The Charity’s continuing links with other churches in the Richmond area and many longstanding connections with Christians and Christian Groups overseas.
-
The Charity uses part of its income to make payments to individuals and organisations which share the objects of the Charity. The effectiveness of the grants is monitored by direct contact with the recipients. Where the recipients are abroad, written communications are encouraged and individuals make overseas visits from time to time.
Page 2
- The Charity provides rent-free accommodation to Nepal Leprosy Trust, a Registered Charity which seeks to show the love of Christ to people affected by leprosy in Nepal, through its medical and social programmes.
In planning the activities, the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission. The provision of public benefit is given at no charge and is made available to all people including those on low incomes.
3. Volunteers
The Charity aims to keep its costs, and in particular its governance costs to a minimum by performing the majority of all of its activities through the work of volunteers and the charity could not operate effectively without their efforts.
4. Structure, Governance and Management
Responsibility for setting policy and for making operating decisions rests with the trustees who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity. New trustees are appointed by existing trustees after extensive consultation and prayer by the Congregation.
5. Financial review
A summary of the financial results and the work of the Charity are set out below. The Charity’s income was £306,206 (2023: £167,363) and expenditure was £53,321 (2023: £289,221) resulting in a surplus for the year of £252,885. This was largely due to the unexpected receipt of the proceeds of the sale of a painting that had been given to the Charity many years ago. A further sum of £71,599.21 was received as a gift in the will of a former member of the Fellowship. This money will fund the cost of further anticipated repairs and improvements required to the church premises being part of its principal financial asset which are referred to further below.
6. Principal Financial Asset
The principal asset of the Charity is the land and buildings in Halford Road, Richmond, which are stated in the accounts at cost. The market value of this property is significantly in excess of cost. The premises are currently insured for rebuilding purposes at a figure of £5,076,729.
During 2023 and into the first quarter of 2024 substantial repairs were undertaken to the building at a cost of £181,273.35. The majority of the work concerned the replacement of the whole of it's roof slates and related structural repairs. Further significant work remains outstanding, particularly in relation to the refurbishment of many of its wooden window frames. Given the classification of the building as a Grade 2 listed building the cost of this has been quoted as £110,000, although further estimates are being obtained. The provision of disabled toilet, a disabled lift and other restoration costs to the church hall is likely to cost in the region of £120,000.
Page 3
7. Reserves policy
The trustees have determined that the charity should aim to hold unrestricted cash of no less than £12,000 (which equates to about 3 months' of unrestricted expenditure) so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely. At the year end, the charity held unrestricted cash of £334,174 and the charity is complying with its reserves policy.
The Charity owns a valuable property that includes its church premises, which, as mentioned, is a listed building. Reserves are held for Charity activities and for periodic maintenance and refurbishment of the property. Given the nature of the property, refurbishments can involve considerable sums of money.
8. Going concern
Taking into account reserves and anticipated recurring income, the Trustees are confident that the Charity remains a going concern for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these accounts.
The Trustees are also aware that should any unexpected and unforeseen expenditure arise which is greater than the income of the Charity over the next 12 months, it may be necessary to sell some of the grounds of the church property to fund any such expenditure. The value of these grounds has been estimated at around £3m, which will be more than sufficient to ensure that the charity is able to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months, and significantly longer.
9. Key risks and uncertainties
The charity is exposed to various risks - be they operational, financial or reputational. The trustees review the charity's activities regularly to identify significant risks and, where possible, they take appropriate measures to mitigate those risks.
10. Responsibilities of trustees under company law
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
Page 4
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Approval
This report, which has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies, was approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by:

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024 on pages 7 to 15 following, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 9 to 10.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
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.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1 Statutory Information
The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
2 Accounting Policies
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102"), with the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.
The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
a) Going concern
- The trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
b) Income
- Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.
Income from donations and legacies includes:
-
i) Recoverable gift aid. This is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor.
-
ii) Legacies. Income from legacies is recognised when a distribution is received from the estate or, if earlier, when the charity has been notified that a distribution will be made and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured.
Other income comprises proceeds from the sale of painting and books. These were historic assets and not included as a tangible fixed asset on the balance sheet in previous years.
c) Expenditure
Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured
The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity.
The cost of raising funds is not significant and has not been separately disclosed.
Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
d) Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.
e) Tangible fixed assets
Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £1,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life. To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged:
Freehold land Is not depreciated (because it is not consumed by use) Freehold buildings Over 50 years after taking account of the building's residual value Equipment Over 3 to 5 years
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
f) Taxation
The company is a registered charity; it has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.
g) Exemption from preparing a cashflow statement
The charity has taken advantage of an exemption conferred by the Charities SORP and has not prepared a cash flow statement.
h) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement The trustees do not consider that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.
