## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION**

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
The Charity’s legal status is that of a Company Limited by Guarantee and is governed by the Company’s Articles of Association.
Trustees are appointed by members of the company at Annual General Meetings or Extraordinary General Meetings. Trustees have the power to fill casual vacancies subject to approval at subsequent Annual General Meeting.
## **AGENTS AND ADVISERS**
The Solicitors of the Charity are Hill Hofstetter Ltd, of Solihull.
The Accountants of the Charity are Auker Rhodes Professional Services LLP, Chartered Accountants and Registered Auditors, of Yeadon.
## **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 initially at Vaughan Primary School and later in the year at Harrow Salvation Army’s building in South Harrow.
- Midweek life groups continued to meet in member’s homes or on Zoom in which each church member can participate, develop friendships, and receive pastoral support.
- Afternoon intercession meetings every other Friday at Brigade House.

## **REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Cont.**
- Midweek teaching seminars at Brigade House.
- A monthly midweek evening prayer meeting.
- Youth meetings every month on Friday evenings.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Sunday Meetings**
We have continued to hold public meetings every Sunday morning for worship and teaching from the Bible initially at Vaughan Primary School. However, on 22[nd] September we ceased to meet at the school because it had agreed to a long-term let of a major part of its premises for teaching Arabic to 70 students. We identified possible safeguarding issues with this arrangement and therefore decided to cease meeting there with immediate effect. Initially we used Brigade House as our Sunday venue, but on 29[th] October we were able to move to Harrow Salvation Army’s premises in South Harrow.
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 ‘Holiness & Hope’ (First Letter of Paul to the Thessalonians), ‘The Spirit Filled Church’, and ‘Everyone a Witness’. 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.
On occasions we invited visiting speakers to preach on subjects in line with our values and vision. For example, in October Philip Ellwood from King’s Church Kingston came and spoke on ‘The Heart and Hands of Evangelism. Also, Julian Saunders, manager of FirmFoundation and member of King’s Church Harrow, spoke about the work of FirmFoundation on Homelessness Sunday.
We gave opportunity for people to respond to the message that had been given and we also offered prayer for healing of the sick. Also, once every six weeks or so, we took Communion together 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 teams are DBS checked.
## **Church and Community Activities**
Several midweek workshop sessions and courses were arranged at Brigade House which linked in with the themes preached on a Sunday. In June there were 3 sessions on ‘The Spirit Filled Church’, 2 sessions in July on ‘Evangelism Equipping’ followed by 6 sessions over September and October going through ‘Natural Evangelism Course’ by evangelist J John.
In October we hosted a breakfast at Brigade House followed by a seminar on ‘How to Eat Healthily’ led by a nutritionist, Diana Wright. 38 people attended. 22 were guests invited by church members.
In December we held a Christmas Carol Service at Harrow Salvation Army building for the whole church to which visitors were invited and Adrian Holloway, a well-known evangelist, was invited to speak. Leaflets advertising the event were hand delivered in the surrounding area. In addition, over the Christmas period we hosted two craft workshops making Christmas wreaths and decorating cupcakes, and a New Years Eve Walk at Rickmansworth Aquadrome. 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 February we held 4 midweek sessions entitled ‘Seeking God Together’ at Brigade House giving opportunity to church members engage with God through corporate worship and prayer.
Throughout the year we arranged social events with the aim of helping our members become more integrated and thus give opportunities for development of friendships within the church. Most were also open for guests to be invited. Social events included: men’s curry night and tenpin bowling, rambles and picnics.

## **REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES**
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Cont.**
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.
## **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 12 and average attendance was 8 throughout the year. Nationalities of those who came were Sri Lanka, Colombia, Russia, Ukraine, South Korea, China, Romania, Kosovo, Nepal and The Caribbean.
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 due to their circumstances can find love and acceptance. Some of the students established friendships outside the class hours and meet occasionally. Importantly, our Russian and Ukrainian students worked well together despite the current conflict between their countries.
The class 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 one of the students from Colombia started to attend our church services. In addition, 3 students showed interest in starting a Bible study group which is now taking place at Brigade House on Tuesdays.
## **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 2023 to end of March 2024 Cliff continued to be available to make visits to patients on request, which were facilitated by the Mental health ward occupational therapists. The aim of each visit is to bring encouragement and support and be responsive to what the patient would like from the session. This often begins with listening to the patient’s story, giving them an opportunity to chat and find out how we can assist. It is helpful to find out what things the patient enjoys and see what activities they are taking part on the ward. Patients are often open to, or request prayer, and also ask questions about different aspects of the Christian faith or life. We usually share some encouraging stories, or scripture promises from the Bible about God’s love. If they would like a future visit they can ask their occupational therapist to arrange. Brief feedback is usually given to the occupational therapist about each session.
## **Ministry to the Poor**
For the fifteenth 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. At the three-month night shelter, volunteers from the church helped to cook and serve food, befriend the guests and clear up each evening as well as provide cover for overnight sleepers to be on call in case of any emergencies. A number of our members also help out at the weekly drop-ins that FirmFoundation host in central Harrow throughout the year.
## **Tot’s Group**
Isabel Burrows, Carole Green and Alison Theobald work together to provide a Toddler group for children 0-5 years and their carers. All helpers are DBS checked. We welcome mums, dads, grandparents and childminders.
We set up the meeting room at Brigade House on Wednesday (term time only) and the session runs from 13.15 pm to 14.45pm.
At the beginning of the financial year our regulars, a core of 7 children, carried on attending during the summer term but sadly we had to say goodbye to most of them in July as children were either attending day nursery/school from September or moving out of the area.
The autumn term started very slowly and generally we only had 1 or 2 mums coming with their children, one of these was a regular mum who had done a lot of advertising at other groups that she went to. Emails were sent to local churches who also ran toddler groups, but at different times from us, asking if they would be willing to advertise us, only one responded.

## **REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES**
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Cont**
## **Tot’s Group Cont.**
Numbers were still low in January but increased to 3-4 children by February which continued until the end of term. 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 have also had opportunities to pray with mums/grandmas and bring prayer requests to the Friday prayer group. Also to offer some clothes from Cariad Baby Bank for the children.
## **Cariad Baby Bank**
The baby bank continues to support needy families in Harrow and beyond. Referrals often come from neighbouring boroughs as need has continued to increase and professionals are having to look further afield to access support. We have maintained the original model for dealing only with professionals who work with families, and this means we can provide help to those in society who require it most. The items we supply include, adult and child toiletries, baby food, Moses basket bedding, and cot sheets purchased mainly from funds provided by King’s Church Harrow. We also provide second-hand baby equipment and children’s clothing supplied by the wider community. During the year we have completed another 180 referrals which is a 26% increase on the previous year. We have developed a number of very useful contacts with organisations to whom we can direct families for additional support for example Healthy Start Initiative. We also have a small number of donors who contribute an exceptional amount in baby toiletries and supplies which has meant that though we have fulfilled our largest annual number of referrals so far, our costs have actually decreased.
## **Leadership**
At the beginning of the financial year Michael Scott stood down from eldership at King’s.
On 17[th] November Sheldon Allen and Freddy Alfred were appointed elders of the church. Dale Barlow, part of the leadership core team of New Ground and from King’s Church Oxted, led the formal setting apart of Sheldon and Freddy during the Sunday morning service and brought some teaching from the Bible.
At a family meeting of the church in January David Straughton announced to the church he was standing down from leadership of the church with effect from 31[st] August after having served 29 years on full time staff. The next few months would be devoted to ‘handing over the baton’ of leadership to the other elders and supporting Sheldon and Freddy in their new eldership roles.
On 1[st] March Cliff Nelson, one of our full-time staff members, commenced a six-week sabbatical, the purpose of which was to come aside from his usual church responsibilities, to pray and study, and also to reflect, rest and recharge in preparation for his next season of service.
The eldership team meet regularly for planning, prayer and discussion of church related issues. The full-time elders on church staff also met regularly with Dale Barlow, from the New Ground Core leadership team, and two elders from another local church Christ First Watford. These meetings were supportive times to share vision and progress in mission activities as well as challenges encountered in leading the local church. Prayer for each other and for the two churches was a feature of these meetings. During the year some of our leaders attended New Ground Prayer Days and the New Ground Leadership conference.

## FINANCIAL REVIEW
We are part of a family of churches known as ‘New Ground’ within ‘Newfrontiers’ and as an expression of our commitment to being involved in world mission we give financial support to New Ground in their various projects both in the UK and in other parts of the world, particularly Europe. This year’s support is still under review and will appear in next financial year’s accounts. We have also continued to provide financial support to a local charity, ‘FirmFoundation’, as it seeks to serve the homeless in Harrow.
Full details of the financial transactions are contained in the attached Accounts. The total incoming resources for the year were £227,172 and after deducting resources expended of £177,042, the net surplus was £50,130.
In May we received a donation totalling £84,000. £42,000 was earmarked for reducing the mortgage on Brigade House, £10,000 to the Hardship Fund and the remaining amount of £32,000 to the General Fund. Later in the year we decided to makea further reduction of the mortgage using £10,000 from the cash reserves held in the Building Fund and £30,000 from the cash reserves held in the General Fund. We also resolved to look at the possibility of completely clearing the remaining mortgage in the new financial year.
Our policy is to maintain sufficient reserves in our Unrestricted Fund to enable us to continue to meet our current commitments. We are no longer maintaining a cash reserve of £10,000 in the Building Fund to cover any possible increases in the interest rate on our mortgage in view of the relatively small amount remaining after the above reductions. However, we continue to maintain a designated fund which now has a cash balance of £5,296 as a contingency to meet any unexpected costs relating to emergency repairs to Brigade House.
The net assets of the Charity at 31st March 2024 were £764,768.

## **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.

| report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2024 which are set out on pages 9 to 24.
## ’ RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- ° examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- ° follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- ° state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
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 you as 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, no matter has come to my attention:
4. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: e to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006; and
- e to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of sections 394 and 395 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicabie to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015)
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable the proper understanding of the accounts to,obg¢ reached.
