Meadowhead Christian Fellowship {MCFI uses its resources to raise the awareness of the local community to
the facilities and services offered by the church. When considering the activities offered MCF has had regard
to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, particularly the advancement of religion. In
formulating its activities MCF calls people to express their personal faith in obedience to Jesus 'commandment
to (i} Love the Lord our God with all our heart and mind and {ii) to love our neighbours as ourselves.
MCF is delighted to welcome anyone- regardless of their nationality, ethnicity, religious or social background.
In fact, we celebrate our calling to welcome, in Christ's name, every tribe and language and people and
nation" (Revelation 5.9)
MCF continues to support worldwide mission to meet the practical and spiritual needs of the poor and needy
in poorer communities- mainly in Africa and Asia.

Achievements in the year
MCF has grown over a period of years- in both the number of people who attend church services and consider
themselves to be members of MCF and in the range of activities which serve the communities of Jordanthorpe
and Batemoor.
The acquisition of No 146 Dyche Road in early 2023. opens the door for MCF to serve the Batemoor and
Jordanthorpe communities more effectively, building on the firm base established over the previous 20-30
years and relieve the pressure on space which had become a constraint. The next stage of the project will see
the charity developing No 146 to meet the needs around us, with support from partners and funders. Work
has already begun, but will continue for at least the next two years, possibly longer. Underpinning all this, is a
strong two-fold vision to love God and our neighbour,
recognising that God loves people and cares for the
needy. As Psalm 146.7 puts it:
He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free,
the Lord gives sight to the blind.
Prayer is a vital component of our life and mission. the engine room behind all our activities. and so we have
encouraged prayer in many forms, including a popular What's App group and in person meetings.
The Charity's main income comes from donations given by individuals. The trustees recognise that this income
is not guaranteed and will be affected by our supporters"life-events" and the wider economic context. But we
were greatly encouraged by the resilience and steady growth of the church's income.
Following thorough investigation and discussion the church entered an informal partnership with The Eden
Network which is part of The Message Family Iwww.message.org.ukl, an independent Christian Charity based
in Manchester with hubs across the UK. This partnership has enabled us to establish a team, headed by part-
time employees of MCF, to share the gospel, make disciples and rebuild communities.
In the summer of 2023, the previous senior pastor, who had led the church for over 30 years, partially retired
to take on a new part-time role as an Assistant Pastor in MCF and hand over the duties and responsibilities of
leading the church to his successor. He retired fully in August 2024.

Reserves Policy
The Charity has also reviewed its Reserves Policy and is satisfied that its reserves are adequate. The trustees
have set the target free reserves required at £45,000 to allow for three months, expenditure on salaries plus
redundancy payments Ishould they be required). Free rese￿e5 (unrestricted funds excluding fixed assets)
were £485,955 at the end of the year {2024: £487,100).
The normal policy of the Trust is to use its resources to further the objectives of the Charity and not therefore
to hold excessive reserves. However, at the present time because of the proposed improvements to No 146,
we may hold cash in anticipation of planned building works.
The trustees continue to receive monthly account summaries which inform them in a timely manner of any
trends that may require a managed response.
Lease Arrangements and Acquisition of Land
The charity purchased the Freehold of Unit 3 during 2018. Unit 2 remains within the Fixed Asset Register as a
Leasehold interest. The Unit 2 Lease contained tenant only break clause provisions which MCF decided not to
implement as Unit 2 is in regular use for a range of charitable activities.
The charity also purchased the Freehold of the property known as 146 Dyche Road at auction in December
2022, with completion in mid-january 2023. This came with an existing sub-lease of a small side-building which
is let to a commercial business who were holding over on the existing lease. The cost of the purchase of No
146 was met from reserves and by generous giving from the members of MCF.
Risk Management
The Charity has compiled, and updates a Risk Registerto help to identify potential risks and its level of exposure
to them. Finances are reviewed regularly. The treasurer produces and distributes to the trustees, a monthly
report identifying the income, expenditure and fund balances. Thus, the trustees have an up to date
understanding of the charity's financial position and a feel for any developing trends which may occur.

For the year ended 31 March 2025
Risk Management (continued)
The main associated financial risks to the Charity are its commitment to employees and the day-to-day running
costs of our premises on the Jordanthorpe housing estate.
The Charity is also engaged in a significant development project at 146 Dyche Road to create a community hub
from what was originally a public house. The property was purchased outright in January 2023 and significant
effort has, and is, being invested in the development of plans, fund raising and a tender process to ensure that
the project can be delivered effectively
The trustees of MCF manage and maintain a full set of policies to ensure the church operates under
appropriate governance and controls. Of note are-
The Risk Re
ister- this covers major risks to the operation of MCF. Risks are identified, assessed and ranked.
Even low risk areas are noted.
Safe
uardin
through the many services the church provides, MCF regularly works with children and adults
at risk of harm. Safeguarding is of paramount importance, and we are committed to following government
legislation. We are members of thirtyone:eight {one of the UK'S leading independent safeguarding specialists)
and commit to follow their guidelines and recognised good practice on safeguarding for both children and
adults at risk of harm. There is a comprehensive safeguarding policy in place and 2 safeguarding officers at
MCF. Leaders and helpers in all groups that engage with children or vulnerable adults are regularly trained on
the policy and processes and all are DBS checked to the level appropriate to their role.
Investment Powers, Policy and Performance
The Trust's policy is to invest its resources in the pursuit of its objectives that requires the employment and
support of appropriate individuals. The Trust does not generally make long-term investment commitments
and aims to deploy its funds without unnecessary delays.
The Trustees, in consultation with the church's pastoral leadership, make decisions relating to grants on the
merit of each case and considering the financial position of the Trust.
