REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS

Over the course of the last year, Catch The Fire Bournemouth has carried out a multitude of events, courses, services and gatherings that coincide with its vision to blaze with the wildfire of the Holy Spirit and to extend the Kingdom to Bournemouth and Beyond , and its mission to Grow Big, Healthy and Passionate People.

The following report is an overview of these events and gatherings along with plans going forward into 2026.

Highlights of activities in 2024-2025

1. Sunday Gatherings

Our Sunday morning services have continued to be well attended both by our regular church family and a steady number of visitors. One highlight has been when a large group of Brazilian students from the local language school joined us for a few meetings. Our informal membership list sits at around 130 adults and average Sunday morning attendance is around 110. The highest Sunday morning attendance was 157 and the lowest was 79. Guest speakers included Steve Long, Arleen Westerhof, Nigel Reid and Tania Angel.

Our Sunday morning teaching series have included these topics:

Every six weeks, we host a Newcomers Gathering . This is a time to welcome new faces, share the story of Catch The Fire Bournemouth (CTFB) via a presentation, help them find their place in our church family and take questions.

Children and Youth

Firestarters, our children’s church, has continued with its usual creativity, fun and biblical emphasis. The primary school age children meet weekly during the service in the meeting room, while Wildfire, our youth group, started to meet on Sunday evenings with Jonathan Whiteing and Kimiko King. In April 2025 this switched to a Sunday

Page 5

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED)

YEAR ENDED 29 AUGUST 2025

morning meeting for the youth group after worship and during the sermon. Our creche facility with the service showing on the TV in that room, has been much appreciated by families with babies and toddlers.

2. Midweek Life

Midweek life at CTFB has continued to flourish:

Community & connection

Our home groups known as ‘Hubs’ meet across Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole, and Southampton—creating space for fellowship, discipleship, and prayer throughout the week. These are led by Hub leaders. One of our groups ‘Puds and Ponderings’ (led by Mark and Abi Reid) is specifically for Student and Young Adult demographic. The popular Throop Hub run by the Clarkestones and the new Totton group run by the Sumners has been enjoyed by those who live over that way. The lunchtime group led by Stephen and Julie Smith has continued to be a wonderful connection point for the slightly older demographic.

Worship

Worship and intercession remained at the heart of our rhythms. The JAM Night ran fortnightly, giving our worship team space for practice and development.

The worship team has expanded, and found new members and the musical worship life of the church continues to be a highpoint for many.

Mark Reid launched a worship night called Altar on Friday 9 May 2025 with 78 registered, featuring a collective worship band from churches across town.

Prayer

Morning prayer runs Monday to Thursday from 6:30–7:00am via Zoom with a faithful group of 6–12 participants.

Our weekly intercessory gathering, Furnace, met on Thursdays at 7:30pm, led by Paul and Pam and remains a key space for corporate prayer.

Our town-wide Prayer Walks led by Anne Belligan also have a regular rhythm on a Tuesday afternoon.

Ministry Team

Our wonderful ministry team continued to regularly pray for people after Sunday morning meetings, with new members being trained by Phil & Gill Hunt.

Echo Team

The pastoral care and prayer team (Echo Team) led by Kimiko King continued to offer special prayer ministry support for those with pastoral needs, plus referrals on to professional counsellors and services as needed.

Safeguarding

Our brilliant safeguarding team continue to provide expert support and processes, and safeguarding training for volunteers took place on 3 August 2025.

Prophetic

In July & August 2025, we ran our second Prophetic Pods training course – Debbie Warnes taught the 6 sessions very successfully – giving CTFB people space to grow and activate prophetic gifts in community.

In June 2025 we ran our Going Deeper prophetic training session for church members with 29 people signing up for this.

Evangelism

Jesus Bike (a ministry of giving out coffee and free prayer in the town centre) continued on Tuesday mornings, and several people that Paul and Pam met doing this have since gone on to attend church or the Alpha course.

Adele Richards hosted an Evangelism Thinktank in February 2025 which 23 people attended. This was to consider our current approaches to evangelism. One of our teaching series this year has been focused on how to share our faith as we prepare to launch our first Alpha course in September 2025.

Ange Walker led an evangelism training morning in May 2025 with 17 attending from our church and other local congregations.

Baptisms

We held a wonderful in-house baptism in November 2024 and then we had one of the highlights of the year in July 2025, with an amazing beach baptism event shared with 4 other local churches, which hit the local, national and international news. We are thrilled to have seen a number of our young people and new believers baptised in this time.

3. Courses & training events

In November 2024, we ran our Unlocked 2 Course, which is a day of healing and freedom from the hurts of the past. 60 people registered for this.

Arleen Westerhof joined us from Amsterdam to be the guest speaker at our December Prophetic Bootcamp and 75 people registered for this.

In October 2024 we ran our Immersion course for church members, to immerse them in the core values of CTF. This Saturday morning session, taught by church members, focused on the importance of the Bible, Hearing God’s Voice and the Father Heart of God.

In January 2025 we ran Immersion 1 again for 37 people and in April 2025 another Saturday morning session of Immersion 2 featured core teachings on The Power of the Cross, Forgiveness and Oneness with Christ, with 23 people registered.

In March 2025 we launched a new session called Anointed with 100 people registered. This was a Saturday morning session in which Adele Richards taught on the Holy Spirit and then ministry team anointed people with oil, praying for them to be filled with the Holy Spirit. It also featured our first Prophetic Appointments session with four teams of four people prophesying over those who had signed up for a 15 minute appointment.

Ben and Sarah Jackson were the speakers for our Loved course on the Father Heart of God which took place in May 2025 with 49 people registered.

The June 2025 Prophetic Bootcamp had 30 registered attendees who gave up their Saturday morning to practise prophesying together – it’s always a fun and encouraging time together with believers across local churches in attendance.

Reserves policy

The current level of the charity’s reserves is detailed in notes 10 and 11 of the financial statements. The total level of unrestricted reserves is £ (2024 - £593,620). The Trustees believe that the assets are sufficient to meet the charity’s obligations. At this level the Trustees feel they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity for a minimum of twelve months in the event of a significant fall in funding.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

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 its financial activities for that year. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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.

This report was approved by the trustees on ………………………………………. and is 23 April 2026 signed on their behalf by:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE MEMBERS

We report on the financial statements for the year ended 29[th] August 2025 set out on pages 11 to 20.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) or under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 (the Companies Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, I have reasonable cause to believe that-
