Structure, governance and management

The trustees have considered the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit reporting and present the following report from our charity, highlighting the last year’s activities in accordance with the aims of our Trust Deed.

Emmanuel Christian Centre is the Charity, having three core work sections: a church, a summer mission and an all year round schools ministry. We support a full-time pastor for the church. We also support a church member working as a volunteer with the charity “ Walk through the Bible” in the primary schools throughout Pembrokeshire. She has recently commenced a chaplaincy course. Another church member continues to work in Ireland with the charity Operation Mobilisation, where she is now a field leader. We keep an up-to-date record of all our Children Protection details and Data protection details.

Objectives and activities

The aims of the charity are “to advance the Christian faith primarily in the area of Pembrokeshire and South Wales in accordance with the statement of doctrine and basis of faith contained in the First Schedule hereto. “

Our Sunday morning services have an average congregation of about 120. This means we are reaching capacity so we plan to have a 9 o'clock service as well as the 11am starting after Easter. We continue to live stream our services which helps those who are not able to attend and enables many from our community and further afield to join online. We held our summer services outdoors in the marquee. Many families from around joined us even though they wouldn't normally attend.

We meet for a prayer breakfast on the first Saturday of the month and have regular mid week prayer meetings.

We have five weekly adult Life-groups that meet in various locations, and a Monday night youth life group that has an average of 20 young people.

We run a free Toddlers group every Tuesday and Wednesday morning. Sessions are always busy with around 30 little ones at each. These sessions are really appreciated with families so grateful for a safe place for the toddlers to play and adults to share and chat. Refreshments are provided for adults and little ones.

Our Friday night Rainbow club for 5 to 11 year olds stopped after Christmas 2024. This was after much discussion and prayer. It is hoped that an after school club will be started in our local primary school.

Our annual Alive Festival was really well attended with around 150 families from the neighbourhood coming to enjoy games, craft, food and a Bible based presentation. We held a week long children's mission in the summer with an average of 70 children from the local communities attending. The morning involved a busy programme of games, craft, drama, songs and a Bible story. All the children were provided with a free lunch before they went home.

The week after this a team went to Saundersfoot to run a morning holiday club in the school, joined by members of a local church. Around 60 children attended daily. The afternoon saw the team on the beach doing games and sandcastles followed by the presentation of the same programme that had been done in the holiday club.

At Christmas we held a 'Christmas Experience' where children and adults were taken in groups through different scenes. Starting with a winter wonderland then meeting various characters from the Nativity. The event was free and ran for four days. Many schools brought classes during the day sessions as well as hundreds from our locality attending later groups and on the Saturday. Each child received a Christmas goody bag to take home. We also held a Saturday evening community Carol service.

Achievements and performance

Emmanuel kitchen continues to grow with numbers between 30 and 45 coming to enjoy a warm welcome, soup and a roll every fortnight. We have extended the length of this event and provide table games, jigsaws and other activities for those who want to stay.

This year we ran an Alpha course for those exploring faith. This was held at church.

Over this year our minister has taken a wedding and several funerals at church. He continues to visit local residential homes to take services and bring communion.

Financial review

We are not involved in any fund raising activities and our voluntary offerings from church have been used to cover the usual overheads, licences and the ongoing upkeep and running of the church.

We have given £1,500 to support our local food bank and £300 to Story Coffee. We gave £2,400 to the ongoing work of Bibles for Schools in our area so that local children can be offered a Bible after completing the 'Walk through the Bible' sessions. We also gave gifts to Wycliffe and Open Doors.

The trustees' annual report was approved on 28 January 2026 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2025

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is 87 Pembroke Rd, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, SA61 1LN.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the

charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Emmanuel Christian Centre Pembrokeshire

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets (continued)

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Freehold property - 2% straight line Fixtures and fittings - 15% straight line

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

15. Financial instruments

For financial instruments measured at fair value, the basis for determining fair value must be disclosed. When a valuation technique is used, the assumptions applied in determining fair value for each class of financial assets or financial liabilities must be disclosed. If a reliable measure of fair value is no longer available for ordinary or preference shares measured at fair value through profit or loss, this must also be disclosed.

Where reduced disclosures are applied, disclosures from the Companies Act 2006 still need to be made regarding the fair value of the instruments in each category and the changes in value recognised in profit and loss. Disclosures of the significant assumptions underlying the valuation models and techniques used, and extent and nature of derivative instruments are also required.
