## **Review of Activities & Achievements**
## **Introduction**
FCCT was started over 20 years ago and continues to ensure that the charity provides excellent support services for inter-church collaborative projects with a vision to see churches enjoy working effectively together to impact the local community.
## **Major projects were as follows:**
## **Signposts, Farnham Schools Work**
In 2025 Signposts produced an Easter tour, a summer ‘moving on’ tour, and a Christmas tour. A team of 16 volunteers deliver 38 assemblies at 11 primary schools in the Farnham area, reaching 2,100 children.
In the summer a ONE Youth event was held for Farnham young people of secondary school age, school years 6 - 13, with over 40 young people and leaders attending.
## **Farnham Foodbank**
During 2025, demand for food parcels has remained broadly consistent with post-COVID years. Foodbank fed 2032 people, of which 798 were children. 50% were single adults with no children and 16% single adults with children. Reasons for needing a food parcel vary and can include debts, benefit delays, health conditions and personal circumstances
This ongoing level of need underlines the importance of our work in the community and reinforces the value of continued support from donors and referral partners. We are grateful for the ongoing partnership with referral agencies, who ensure that support reaches those who need it most. Our partner agency, Farnham Frontline, works alongside Foodbank and seeks to help clients address any financial challenges.
We have observed a reduction in food donations during this reporting period. However, financial donations have remained relatively stable. In response, we continue to adopt a proactive and cautious approach to financial management. Steps are being taken to ensure that Foodbank retains the necessary resources to meet both medium- and long-term needs, including reviewing expenditure, stock management and future sustainability.

enhancing existing strengths. No major structural changes have been made; instead, the emphasis has been on continuous improvement and building upon our solid foundation of work.
Looking ahead, we will continue to monitor trends in need and donation levels and adapt our response accordingly. The charity remains in a stable position, and we are confident in our ability to meet the needs of those we serve.
## **Frontline Farnham - Money Advice**
budgeting issues to find a way through to financial stability. Where there are underlying issues that fall outside of the project’s remit (e.g. physical or mental health), clients are referred or signposted to the appropriate organisation for additional help. The project relies on donations and Foodbank support to continue to operate, and has increased the team of trained volunteer Debt Advisers to meet the increased client demand in response to the Cost of Living Crisis.
Our Branch Manager works three days a week to cope with the additional workload, working closely with Farnham Foodbank as a large proportion of FFMA clients are also Farnham Foodbank clients. We expect the ongoing surge in demand of people experiencing financial crisis and seeking help from FFMA to continue, and we will be seeking new volunteers to help meet that need
## **Friends Together - Bereavement Support**
Friends Together Bereavement Support Group continue to help people who are bereaved through the difficult days, weeks, months and even years following their loss. Friendships are made and people are very supportive to one another .There is a regular daytime and evening informal get-together over a cup of tea. The group provides a much needed service to the community and the number attending varies from six to sixteen in the afternoon meetings. The support is well received and appreciated

.
## **Caring Families Together - Fostering & Adoption**
Caring Families Together supports families who foster and adopt by providing a safe space where looked-after children can play and carers can get support over a cup of tea.
A monthly support group is run where carers can meet with others in a similar position and share their challenges with those who understand. Carers can bring their children, and toys and activities are provided for all ages to keep them happy and give carers a much-needed break .
.
## **In addition to these projects FCCT facilitates a number of other projects and initiatives that impact the community:**
## **Christian Activities : Inter-church Prayer & Mission**
In December an outdoor carol service was held in Gostrey Meadow with hot chocolate and mulled wine. Gospel Collective lead the carols with music provided by Alder Valley Brass Band and an engaging address by Rev’d Nicky Gumbel. An invitation was given to join Alpha courses in January 2026. A number of churches hosted a monthly gathering to pray for Farnham
## **Family Support**
The Family Support project has developed over more than ten years to help improve the circumstances of local school children whose education is adversely affected by exceptionally difficult family circumstances. These include illness, domestic abuse and sudden emergencies. It also supports groups such as young carers.
It operates through Home School Link Workers attached to schools, making use of funds donated by local Christian businessmen to buy items such as school uniform and shoes, pay for school trips which the child would otherwise miss, or contribute to the household by buying basic food or new bedding for the child.
The project works with and supplements assistance from formal agencies such as Social Services. By giving freely and immediately, the project helps demonstrate Christian love to the children and their families. During 2025, the project supported families with children in eight schools in and around Farnham and many individual gifts continue to be made.

## **Review of Financial Affairs**

Generous donations in prior years have enabled the Trustees to increase project expenditure in 2025, resulting in a current year deficit. Trustees ensure there are sufficient reserves to meet the Reserves Policy target. Administrative costs have slightly increased from the previous year.
Total income increased to £136,284 from the previous year total of £125,572 . The unrestricted core income of £28,119 to support core services is an increase from £26,182 for the previous year.

GU9 0NB. A Company Limited by Guarantee registered in England & Wales No.3904228 and a Registered Charity No.1079778
## **Notes to the Financial Statements**
for the year ended 31 December 2025
## **1. Accounting Policies**
## **a. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements**
- The Financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) also complying with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.
- liabilities are initially recognized at historic cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
- The charity has claimed exemptions available in section 1a of FRS 102 not to prepare a cash flow statement since it is a small charity.
- There has been no change to the accounting policies (variation rules and methods of accounting) since last year and there has been no changes to the previous accounts. The treatment of donated stock is consistent with prior years. More details are given in notes 1g and 18.
## **b. Company Status**
- Community Room, Gorselands, Alma Lane, Farnham, Surrey, GU9 0NB. The Trustees named on page 3 are also members of the company. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company.
## **c. Fund Accounting**
- Unrestricted funds can only be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the Trustees.
- Restricted funds 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.
- Designated funds arise when Trustees agree to establish a fund from unrestricted funds for a specific purpose.
- Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes
## **d. Income**
- All income is recognized once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
**Statement of Accounts for the year ended 31 December 20 25 - Page 14 of 21** Farnham Churches Support the working name of Farnham Christian Community Trust Limited, Community Room, Gorselands, Farnham, Surrey. GU9 0NB. A Company Limited by Guarantee registered in England & Wales No.3904228 and a Registered Charity No.1079778
- Voluntary income is received by way of donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when received. Donations arising under gift aid, together with the tax recoverable thereon, are accounted for when received. Provision is made for gift aid yet unclaimed at the year end on income received prior to the end of the financial period.
## **e. Expenditure**
- Liabilities are recognized as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Governance and Management and Administration have been regarded as Support costs for the project and allocated to the projects based on the cost of each project.
## **f. Tangible Fixed Assets**
- Depreciation is provided at the following annual rate in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life for all Computer & Office Equipment at 20-25% on cost.
## **g. Stock**
- Trussell Trust advises foodbanks how to value stock based on a value per kg calculated locally by comparison to an average 19.1kg emergency food parcel.
- At the end of December 2025, 9,485kg of stock was held by the charity, with an estimated cost of £2.26/kg. Due to the perishable nature of stock strict account is taken of use by dates and all out of date stock is disposed of regularly.
- Donated stock received and issued during the twelve months of the year is given by weight in note 18. An estimated cost equivalent is given in accordance with the charities SORP in note 18 using the December conversion from weight to cost. It is impractical for the charity to measure this conversion at other months of the year to arrive at a more accurate estimate. For this reason it is not considered appropriate to include these estimated figures in the income and expenditure in the SOFA. Instead the net change in stock value is shown in Income.
## **h. Going Concern**
- The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
