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.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Sunday Meetings
We have continued to hold public meetings every Sunday morning for worship and teaching from the Bible at 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 ‘The Lord’s Prayer’, ‘In Christ’ from Paul’s letter to the Colossians, and ‘The Gospel of Mark’. 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.
Occasionally we invited visiting speakers to preach on subjects in line with our values and vision. For example, in September Dale Barlow, who is part of the New Ground Churches Leadership team, came and taught on the theme of ‘The Holy Spirit’.
Every week 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 as part of our worship.
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
In April & May we hosted at Brigade House five sessions midweek on ‘The Lectio Course’ run by Pete Greig. The course has been designed to help people hear God better.
Over the May Bank Holiday, the church was invited to a church weekend event at Restore Hope Latimer with Christ First Watford Church. The three days consisted of various activities including refreshments, worship, prayer, a sports day, BBQ and a bonfire.
In August, instead of having a service every week, we arranged on some of the Sundays a picnic & games event at a local park and on another occasion, a church walk followed by coffee at Ruislip Lido.
In December we held a Christmas Carol Service followed by festive refreshments and a kid’s party with crafts, story and games at Harrow Salvation Army building. The church was encouraged to invite visitors to this event. In addition, over the Christmas period we hosted a craft workshop making Christmas table decorations. On New Years Day a walk was arranged at Rickmansworth Aquadrome, followed by coffee. 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.
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 breakfast, women’s brunch, rambles and picnics.
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 2024 to end of March 2025 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 sixteenth 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.
Summer Term 2024.
This term numbers continued to be low.
At the end of the summer term, we held a session just after schools had broken up and invited a few of the children back who had started school last September and had attended Tots. We had a small bouncy castle and some party food as well as the normal activities. A couple of them came and it was lovely to catch up with them and their parents.
In July we received an invite from the local children’s centre to attend a launch event for Optivita Early Years. This was billed as a great opportunity to find out about a pilot scheme coming to South Harrow that could support families that we work with. Issy and Alison went along and were able to network with many different people and tell them about Tots. This led to a visit from a co-ordinator from Hillview Children’s centre- just down the road from BH coming to visit us with the view to promoting our group.

Autumn Term 24
September and October saw only 1 or 2 mums attending Tots but after the half term in November our numbers started to rise, and we had 6-8 families attending each week. This was mostly due to a mother who told all her friends about us. By the time we broke up for the Christmas break we had 14 families on our books. It was also good to see a couple of grandmothers from our own church bringing along their grandchild.
Having more children made a huge difference to the atmosphere and to snack and music time as the older children acted as role models to the younger ones. We have always sat the children together at the table for their healthy snack. This is beneficial as it teaches the younger children to sit and eat and encourages them to try different foods and to eat because they see other children eating. Mums comment on this fact and are pleased. The parents have been very supportive in tidying up and joining in and encouraging their children to join in with the singing time.
At the end of term, we had a party with a bouncy castle, ball pond and some party food. Mums brought along some snacks for the adults & 7 children came along. The children were given a book and a story about Christmas called ‘Sssh don’t wake the baby’. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.
Spring Term 25
The first two weeks of January started slowly as there was a lot of illness around but by the end of January and throughout the Spring term, we generally had about 8 – 10 children. The increase was due to word of mouth, and we had some 3– 4-year-olds attending as well.
During this time, we introduced giving the child a birthday card and inviting the children to blow out candles on a fake cake which was appreciated by the parents- some of the children looked a bit bemused as if they had never seen candles before.
We made cards for Mother’s Day, Easter cards and an Easter basket which had a chocolate surprise added to it for when the children went home.
We are trying different ways of having story and singing and are finding that the children respond better to a story with props which hasn’t always worked in the past as the little ones like to play with the props.
Cariad Baby Bank
Cariad Baby Bank continues to support families in Harrow and neighbouring boroughs with new and second-hand donations from the community.
We have maintained the original model for dealing only with professionals who work with families with children from newborn to 5 years old.
As the baby bank has increased in visibility we have received consistent referrals, especially for newborns, from health visitors, midwifes, Social Workers and other professionals.
They usually ask for supplies such as moses baskets, baby baths, bouncers, playmats, slings, toys and clothing. Due to the large number of items that are needed for newborns it has been hard to supply all that is needed but we have tried our best and have been able to supply most families with everything.
During this period, we have had approximately 160 referrals, which is a little less than the previous year.

Cariad Baby Bank
We have also received consistent support from a number of donors who consistently give to the charity in the form of toiletries, nappies, coats and clothing which helps to keep our costs down.
Cariad Baby Bank will remain to be a helpful resource for the community in helping those in need at a very special time in a families’ lives.
Leadership
On 31[st] August 2024 David Straughton stood down from leadership of the church after having served 29 years on fulltime staff. In the run up to this, he devoted his time to ‘handing over the baton’ of leadership to the other elders and, in particular, supporting Sheldon Allen and Da-Ebube (Freddy) Alfred in their new eldership roles.
The eldership team met regularly for planning, prayer and discussion of church related issues. Cliff Nelson, a full-time elder on church staff, also met regularly with Dale Barlow, from the New Ground Core leadership team, and the lead elder 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. Cliff also attended in March a day for the lead elders in the UK New Ground churches. 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. 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 £149,005 and after deducting resources expended of £125,768, the net surplus was £23,237.
This year we decided to clear the remaining amount outstanding in the mortgage on Brigade House from surplus funds held in the General Fund. An opportunity was therefore arranged in June for the members of the church to contribute to the final repayment which raised the sum of £7,194.75.
Our policy is to maintain sufficient reserves in our unrestricted funds to enable us to continue to meet our current commitments. We continue to maintain a designated fund which has a cash balance of £5,296 as a contingency to meet any unexpected costs relating to emergency repairs to Brigade House. In addition to this, several members have chosen to continue to give regularly into the Building Fund to cover maintenance costs relating to Brigade House.
The net assets of the Charity at 31st March 2025 were £925,082.

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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES OF KING’S CHURCH HARROW
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025 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:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
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 applicable 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)
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable the proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is public benefit entity under FRS102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102). ‘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 (effective 1 January 2015)’, Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard FRS102 applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ EEA, the and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of the revaluation of the Freehold property. The freehold property is held under the revaluation model in accordance with FRS 102. The property is revalued annually to ensure that the carrying amount reflects its fair value at the balance sheet date. Revaluations are performed internally, supported by appropriate market evidence where available. As the property’s fair value has been reviewed and found not to have diminished from the previous valuation, no depreciation has been charged. This treatment reflects that the property’s residual value is not materially different from its carrying amount.’ The revaluation surplus is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the revaluation reserve.
-
a. All grants and voluntary income are accounted for gross when receivable, as long as they are capable of financial measurement.
-
b. All expenditure is accounted for gross, and when incurred.
-
c. Direct Charitable Expenditure includes the cost of travel specifically incurred in connection with charitable expenditure plus the personnel and other costs associated with the management of the projects.
-
d. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost or valuation, less estimated residual values, of all fixed assets over their expected useful lives. It is calculated at the following rates:
| Fixtures, Fittings & Equipment | 10% on cost |
|---|---|
| Computer Equipment | 33% on cost |
-
e. Fund-raising and publicity expenses include expenses incurred directly by the Company and those incurred by third parties in raising Charity funds for the Company and paid directly by the company at the fund raisers request.
