TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

  1. Bags of Hope: This is a service provided to local families, identified by a local primary school with whom we have close connections, which gives them a weekly basic grocery shop similar to the service provided by a food bank. Some items are donated by Church members the rest is purchased and paid for by the Church.

  2. Holding a monthly Saturday morning ‘Kids Club’ incorporating fun, games and education.

  3. Going into local nursing/retirement homes and holding Christian services, including songs, readings and communion.

The trustees are grateful for the efforts of volunteers and are pleased with the overall outcome of the above in terms of meeting the charity’s stated objects. They hope to see further growth and development of the organisation within the foreseeable future.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

In the year under review, the charity made an overall surplus of £52,346 (2024: surplus £43,966) all in relation to unrestricted activities (2024: surplus on restricted projects £354, surplus on unrestricted activities £43,612).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) General Information and Basis of Preparation

KC Outreach, Selby is a private company limited by guarantee registered in England. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 3 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are the operation of a local church.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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) issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest pound.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

(b) Income Recognition

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to income, there is sufficient certainty of receipt and it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

Grants and Donations

Where donors specify that grants or donations are for a particular restricted purpose, which does not amount to pre-conditions regarding entitlement, the income is included in incoming reserves within restricted funds when received.

(c) Resources Expended

Resources expended are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, inclusive of VAT. Individual costs are allocated between the various headings in the Statement of Financial Activities by reference to their underlying nature or reason for which those costs were incurred, on an estimated percentage basis.

(d) Unrestricted and Restricted Funds

Unrestricted funds comprise income received or generated by reference to the general objects of the charity without further specified purpose. Such funds may however be designated by the trustees for specific purposes from time to time.

Restricted funds are those donated for a specified purpose as laid down by the donor or as the result of a specific appeal or application. Such funds are kept separate from the unrestricted funds of the charity and only related expenditure is charged against them.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(e) Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised and depreciated at the following rates, so as to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:

Fixtures and equipment - 25% reducing balance

(f) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

(g) Cash at Bank and in Hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

(h) Creditors and Provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

(i) Pension Costs

Contributions, which are payable into the personal pension plans of individual members of staff, are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

(j) Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with levels of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

Regions Beyond Church, Pakistan - Danish, the Pastor of a Regions Beyond Church in Lahore, Pakistan, as a Christian, was repeatedly denied promotion in his work, which was at a very basic pay level. He was then made redundant and became a full-time Church Pastor and church members pledged to support him financially by covering his ongoing wages costs. This fund was closed by the end of the previous year.

Regions Beyond Special Offering - Regions Beyond is a diverse family of churches joined in apostolic partnership. The organisation is committed to planting and strengthening churches across the nations. A special offering taken in October/November 2023 was paid across in January 2024.

Box of Hope - Church members are donating, and the church is purchasing basic food and toiletry items to provide a food bank service to families in Selby who are struggling financially and this forms part of our outreach programme to a particular school in Selby. Donations from church members ceased during the year and the programme has continued with costs being met from general church funds.

Togo – Following three communion services in the previous year, church members were asked to contribute to a collection for a church in Togo, through a church member from Togo, who returns there several times a year. There were no such collections in the year under review.
