Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 30 April 2025
The trustees of Christian Life Centre Oxford Trust (CLC Oxford) are pleased to present this Trustees' Annual Report for the period 1 May 2024 to 30 April 2025.
We are grateful to our entire church family, including leaders and ministers, for their ongoing dedication to the Lord's work throughout the financial year. The commitment shown by our ministers, leaders, and members has been essential in helping the ministry reach its goals and fulfill its mission.
Vision Statement of the Church : The church has updated its vision statement to better align with our evolving dedication to the gospel and our deepening faith in Jesus Christ. Our current focus highlights the importance of fostering a holy, growing, and serving community.
The Trust is established to promote the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to support individuals experiencing hardship or distress, both within the United Kingdom and internationally. It also aims to advance education grounded in Christian principles. In formulating objectives and planning activities, the trustees have adhered to the public benefit guidance provided by the Charity Commission. Further details regarding the Trust's objectives can be found in the governing document referenced in the Charity Commission’s entry.
Our impact in 2024–25
We provided weekly Sunday services and Bible studies; monthly prayer and fasting; and an online Sunday prayer meeting. We hosted leadership development gatherings to equip ministers and volunteers, strengthening pastoral support and community cohesion. Visiting ministers offered encouragement and teaching that helped deepen discipleship and service.
Children and young people
Ablaze (Children’s Ministry): Typically 50–60 children attended weekly, supported by 29 volunteers. Parents report improved confidence, scripture knowledge and engagement. We continued to ‑ prioritise safety, inclusion and age appropriate teaching, encouraging children to grow in faith and character.
‑ Future (Youth Ministry): Bi weekly meetings welcomed around 42 young people (c. 80% CLC Oxford, 20% other local churches). Themes included Christian identity and culture, practical faith and relationships. Youth joined regional worship and discipleship events, with many reflecting increased accountability, service and leadership potential.
Community outreach
Street evangelism and local events continued in Oxford and Didcot, including a community BBQ at Blackbird Leys. Christian movie evenings remained open to the public, using the arts to share hope

‑ and foster discussion. Our Agape team offered home and hospital visits, maintained a 7 day phone line for prayer and support, and followed up with new guests.
The volunteer service teams which include Ushers, Hospitality, Levitical (facilities), Sound & Lighting, Worship & Music, and Media & Projection, collectively contributed to creating a welcoming and secure environment while maintaining high-quality services. The recent restructuring of the media function into distinct Media and Projection teams has enhanced operational focus, increased resilience, and improved livestream quality, further supported by the acquisition of a new equipment.
Family Matters & Mental Health Matters
We organized public workshops on education and safeguarding to promote positive parental involvement with schools and held an Autism Awareness session that drew around 80 participants. As a result, we implemented practical solutions such as sensory-friendly spaces, opportunities for one-to-one support, and designated quiet rooms to help children self-regulate during services. Additionally, we shared information about local support resources, including Autism Family Support Oxfordshire and OASIS.
Acts Ministry: Baptism & Alpha Course
The Acts team conducted Alpha training, prepared candidates for baptism, and baptized eight individuals in October 2024. Post Alpha course evaluations highlighted areas for improvement in future implementations and follow-up processes, with a focus on supporting new Christians as they engage with faith and community.
Missions
HOPE Project (Uganda): The second year of a three-year Memorandum of Understanding was completed in partnership with a Miracle Primary School. Seventy-six children were provided with sponsorship encompassing education, health, and social support services. Timely disbursement of teacher salaries, enhanced staff morale, and strengthened home-school relationships contributed to improved program outcomes. Families also reported increased optimism and greater involvement in church activities.
Prison Ministry & Angel Tree: Monthly visits to HMP Bullingdon were conducted to provide prayer and pastoral support. The Angel Tree initiative facilitated the delivery of Christmas gifts to children with an incarcerated parent, thereby strengthening family connections and offering reassurance during a sensitive period.
Structure and governance
CLC Oxford is overseen by a board of unpaid trustees, with daily ministry activities carried out by volunteers working in various service teams and ministry areas. The trustees convene regularly to monitor ministry progress, assess risks, oversee safeguarding and finances, and ensure compliance with both organizational rules and relevant regulations.
Page 3
Safeguarding: Everyone working with children, youth, or vulnerable adults completes DBS checks. Policies are consistently reviewed, staff training is updated, and the organization fosters a culture focused on safe recruitment, supervision, and reporting across all teams.
Health, safety, and estates: Fire safety training is provided, and all equipment receives professional maintenance. Annual inspections and certifications, including those for gas safety and CO₂ detection when necessary are kept current. The organization also maintains appropriate insurance coverage.
Risk management
Trustees identify key risks such as safeguarding, financial stability, health and safety, governance and compliance, information security, and reputation. To manage these risks, they implement policies and training, monitor budgets and reserves, limit system access based on roles, report incidents, and conduct regular reviews.
Financial review (summary)
The Trust continues to maintain a robust level of income, supporting ongoing investment in local ministry, children’s and youth programs, community outreach initiatives, and mission partnerships. Core income is generated from tithes, offerings, and Gift Aid, with supplementary rental revenue derived from residential and retail properties. The church fulfilled all financial commitments throughout the year.
Reserves and internal financial controls are established and subject to regular review. The comprehensive Statement of Financial Activities, balance sheet, and explanatory notes are presented within the accompanying financial statements.
During the year income increased by £14,087, to £506,941, and expenditure increased by £43,351, to £476,905. As a result, the surplus for the year decreased by £29,264, to £30,035 and the charity's net assets increased by the same amount, to £1,702,058.
The trustees have adopted a reserves policy based on Unrestricted Net Current Assets. The trustees aim to maintain reserves equivalent to three months of operating expenditure to ensure financial stability and continuity of services. At year end, the charity held Unrestricted Net Current Assets of £356,425, which is in line with the target level.
Key Risks and Uncertainties
The charity is exposed to a range of risks, including operational, financial, and reputational risks. The trustees regularly review the charity’s activities to identify significant risks and assess their potential impact. Where possible, appropriate measures are implemented to mitigate these risks. The principal risks identified are:
-
Funding Volatility
-
Risk: Reliance on voluntary donations and sponsorship programmes such as HOPE means income can fluctuate.
-
Mitigation: Diversifying income streams through investments in income generating assets, targeted fundraising campaigns, and developing partnerships with local organisations.

-
Technology and Cyber Security

Plans for the Future
The trustees have set out clear aims and objectives for the coming year to advance the charity’s mission and strengthen its impact. Key priorities include:
-
Expanding Outreach and Community Engagement Launch new initiatives to deepen relationships within the local community and extend support to vulnerable groups.

CLC Oxford welcomes people of all backgrounds. We aim to remove barriers to participation, provide appropriate adjustments where possible, and continue learning. We encourage feedback from attendees and partners to improve accessibility across ministries and events.
Digital, privacy and communications
Our media and livestream services facilitate participation in worship and teaching for housebound individuals and the broader public. We manage personal information responsibly, adhering to UK GDPR principles by restricting access to authorized ministry personnel and offering transparent choices regarding consent and communication preferences.
Future Initiatives and Strategic Objectives
• Enhance inclusive provision for children and youth through targeted training, sensory-friendly environments, and individualized support.
• Advance leadership development, implement Alpha with improved follow-up processes, and reinforce pastoral visitation efforts.
• Strengthen digital infrastructure and promote volunteer growth in worship, media, and safeguarding activities.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
1 Statutory Information
The charity is trust registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales. The charity's registered number and principal address can be found on the Charity 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") and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.
The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 (the '2008 Regulations') requires charities to prepare their accounts in accordance with 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005' but this accounting standard has since been withdrawn and has been replaced by the Charities SORP mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The charity has prepared these financial statements in accordance with the new Charities SORP; this departure from the 2008 Regulations is believed to be necessary for these financial statements to give a 'true and fair view'.
The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
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.
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.
The charity has taken the view that it has only one charitable activity, namely the advancement of the Christian faith, and all income from donations, legacies and charitable activities is in respect of this one activity.
c) Expenditure
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 30 APRIL 2025
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. Endowment funds are donations that are retained as capital in accordance with the donor's wishes. The nature of the restriction determines whether the endowments represent permanent endowments or expendable endowments.
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 100 years after taking account of the building's residual value Leasehold improvements Over the lease term or, if shorter, expected useful life Equipment Over 20 years Vehicles Over 4 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) Pension scheme arrangements
The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds.
g) Taxation
The charity has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.
h) 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.
i) 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.
