OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objective of the charity is the advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the doctrines and practices laid out under the "Statement of Beliefs" in the Memorandum of Association.
Our vision as a local church is to be a growing international family of worshipers devoted to Jesus Christ, knowing him, and making him known, and to be a compassionate presence in the local community, serving those around us in practical and caring ways.
We aim to provide as many opportunities as possible for all people in the area to learn and benefit from the teaching of the Bible and the Christian message. With this in mind, we strive to be a church which is international in outlook and inclusive of people from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds, thus reflecting the diverse makeup of the population of Harrow.
The trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on Public Benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers or duties .
Throughout this financial year, the church has continued to meet regularly for worship, teaching, and prayer. Meeting formats have included:
-
Public meetings of the whole church on Sunday mornings advertised on our website and held on two sites at Vaughan Primary School and our building on Princes Avenue, Kingsbury
-
Midweek life groups continued to meet in which each church member can participate, develop friendships, and receive pastoral support.
-
Afternoon intercession meetings every other Friday at Brigade House.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Sunday Meetings
We have continued to hold public meetings every Sunday morning for worship and teaching from the Bible at Vaughan Primary School, and our Kingsbury venue. To emphasise we are one church, we arranged for both congregations to come together monthly on one of the Sundays as a celebration in the months of April and May.
From June onwards we conducted joint Sunday meetings at only one venue as it was becoming increasingly difficult to staff the worship and PA tech teams at both venues.
Our teaching programme was designed to foster spiritual growth and faith as well as to inspire vision and provide encouragement for both the individual and the corporate church. We covered several series throughout the year including ‘God’s Good News for the World’ (Paul’s Letter to the Romans), ‘A Heart after God (Life of King David)’ and ‘Holiness & Hope’ (First Letter of Paul to the Thessalonians). Presentation of the Gospel for the benefit of those new to or outside of the Christian faith is also a regular feature in our meetings.
We gave opportunity for people to respond to the message that had been given and we also offered prayer for healing of the sick. We also invited visiting speakers to preach on subjects in line with our values and vision.
We also took Communion together (once every six weeks or so) on Sundays as part of our service.
Arrangements were in place for children’s activities to be available at most of our Sunday morning services during part of the service. All those who serve as teachers and helpers on our children’s work and your work teams are DBS checked.
Church and Community Activities
We held an Easter Sunday Service at both venues in April 2022. We held a Christmas Carol Service at Vaughan Primary School for the whole church to which visitors were invited and over the Christmas period we also hosted a film evening at Brigade House, an evening of board games, two craft workshops making Christmas decorations and a fruit platter centre piece, and a New Years Day walk at Ruislip Lido. All these events were open to visitors with the aim of building friendships.
Our mid-week small groups offered regular online or face to face meetings throughout the year with opportunities to catch-up, worship and prayer together. Some groups offered a weekly gathering, others fortnightly. This helped keep a sense of community and looking out for one another.
In May 2022 we started a course consisting of 8 weekly midweek sessions for everyone in the church at Brigade House entitled ‘Naturally Supernatural’. The aim of the course is to help equip believers in a better understanding of the Kingdom of God, their identity as sons and daughters, and living everyday life as followers of Christ. The sessions consisted of video teaching with the subsequent opportunity for discussion and prayer.
Our youth club for eleven- to sixteen-year-olds continued to meet monthly on Friday evenings. The purpose of these meetings is to facilitate the development of friendships and discipleship. Also, on most Sunday mornings there was an opportunity for this age range to receive teaching from the Bible, separately from the main meeting.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Cont.
Kings’ English Class
Marta Biggart, a qualified and experienced ESOL teacher, is employed to offer weekly term-time English classes from 1 to 3pm on a Monday at Brigade House. Maximum attendance was 13 and average attendance was 8 throughout the year. Nationalities of those who came were Sudan, Iran, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Colombia, Romania, Russia, and Ukraine. The level of the students was from Pre-Intermediate to Intermediate
In the first term Marta also held ESOL classes with help from other church members at our Kingsbury venue. Unfortunately, the classes ceased when the venue closed in September 2022. There were 10 people on the register consisting of people from Afghanistan, Russia, Romania, Somalia, Syria, and Kuwait. Average attendance each week was 8. Most of the Afghani ladies had very low or no literacy skills, so the classes were split into two groups to be able to help the Afghani ladies to learn the English alphabet and to write simple words in English. The class was very much appreciated by the local community and the groups worked well together.
The English class is a place where people come to learn and improve their English language skills but also a place where cross cultural friendships are formed and consolidated so those who are distressed can find love and acceptance. It is also an opportunity to introduce Christianity. Christmas and Easter are special occasions when Bible stories are presented, a meal is provided, and Christian literature is given to the students. This year some of the students attended events organised by the church such as making a fruit platter and Christmas decorations and our Christmas carol service.
Support for People with Mental Health Challenges
Cliff Nelson, one of the elders at King’s Church Harrow, received training back in 2012 as a faith visitor from the Harrow Mental Health Service at Northwick Park Hospital. This role primarily involves responding to individual patient requests to see a Christian faith visitor on the Eastlake and Fernley mental health wards at Northwick Park Hospital, as well as providing faith materials for patients, especially to cover Christmas and Easter time.
From April 2022 to end of March 2023 we saw an increase in requests for visits. Cliff continued to make one-time visits to patients on request but was also encouraged by the ward occupational therapists to have repeat visits with certain patients to help assist their recovery. This included: visiting one patient for once a week for three weeks, another patient once a week for nine weeks, another once a week for seven weeks, and another patient once a week for six weeks.
Ministry to the Poor
For the fourteenth year running we worked in partnership with other churches in Harrow through a local charity we set up in the name of FirmFoundation, seeking to meet the needs of those who are homeless in the borough. Julian Saunders, one of our members, is employed full-time as Charity Manager by FirmFoundation.
Tot’s Group
The toddler group at Kingsbury continued to thrive in the first part of the year with many new families trying us out or attending regularly. We would regularly have between 12 - 16 children attending.
It was with great sadness for all concerned that we had to close the group in July 2022 because we had to vacate the premises in September. We had built up some good relationships with the mums and so it was with this in mind it was decided to start a new toddler group at Brigade House at the end of September 2022. An advertisement was placed in the Families information service which is where mums can look to find toddler groups. We also emailed a few churches in the area to inform them we were starting a group. This area of Harrow is very well served by toddler groups, and Alison Theobald, manager of the group, had checked out, from the FIS site, which days other groups held their sessions. Fortunately, no one else opened on a Wednesday afternoon, which was the only time Alison, and her helpers could run the group.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Cont
Tot’s Group Cont.
We started with a very slow trickle of people. Comments from parents indicated that they were unaware of the building and the existence of a toddler group due to its hidden location. One of the mums from Kingsbury came across each week, and we had another mum who seemed to attend every toddler group in the area. She told many people about us because she liked us so much. The period before Christmas we averaged an attendance of 4 to 5 families a week.
Numbers were still low the following January but increased by February half term to 9 children on a couple of occasions which we found to be quite crowded. It was felt these two busy sessions had put some people off as they enjoyed the quieter atmosphere, so numbers dropped through to March. By the end of the financial year we had a core of 7 children who were brought along by dads, grandads, and mums.
Throughout the year we have been able to build up relationships with the carers and have seen the children develop and gain confidence over the time they have been attending our group.
We usually provide an art/craft activity each week, particularly for special occasions such as Christmas, Easter, Mother and Father’s Day. In addition, we provide a healthy snack and drink and read or tell a story. The session is normally ended with some singing.
Fitness Classes
We continued to host fitness classes at Kingsbury for the first quarter only. Two classes were held each week, one was for cardio conditioning, the other was freestyle Pilates. They were open to both church members and the local community. The classes ceased when the trainer was no longer available, and it had also become clear that we were to vacate the premises in September.
Cariad Baby Bank
The baby bank set up last year has continued working with professionals such as midwives, social workers, children’s centres, and others who make tailored referrals for the neediest young families in Harrow. Since its inception, Cariad Baby Bank has completed 285 such referrals. The items provided include adult and child toiletries, baby food, mattresses and bedding purchased from monetary donations received specifically for the baby bank together with funds transferred from our General Fund as well as second-hand baby equipment and children’s clothing supplied by the wider community.
Five regular volunteers work for the baby bank using accommodation at Brigade House. The exclusive use of another room over the past 12 months has greatly enhanced the work, providing storage for larger items such as buggies and cots as well as space to prepare the referrals.
The large rise in the cost of living over the past 18 months has been reflected in ever increasing requests for baby bank help.
Leadership
The elders David Straughton, Cliff Nelson, Michael Scott, and Errol Breda usually met each week for discussion of church pastoral issues, prayer, and planning.
The men’s discipleship group set up last year to train and develop potential new leaders continued to meet on a regular basis, and these times were supplemented by special evenings where theological papers were presented and discussed in the context of everyday practical church discipleship, leadership, and life.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also directors of King's Church, Harrow for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditor is unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.
