TRUSTEES’ REPORT INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
Principal activity and public benefit
The principal activity and objects of the Company as set out in the Memorandum of Association are "to advance the Christian faith by such means as the Trustees may from time to time in their absolute discretion think fit".
The principal aim of the company in the year was to continue to support Christian ministry to the local community, by the provision of homes at modest rents for churches and other Christian workers. To achieve this aim during this year, the company secured an appropriate occupancy agreement with the Parochial Church Council of St Leonard’s Church, Chesham Bois (“the church”) and with Alexandra Road Congregational Church, Hemel Hempstead (“ARCC”) for one of the properties and let the other property, expending such funds as considered necessary for the proper maintenance of the properties.
The directors confirmed that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit in particular the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion, when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning its future activities.
In seeking to achieve these aims and objectives the directors are of the opinion that housing Christian workers in the local community, who enable the churches and other Christian organisations to share the love of God seen in the life of Jesus Christ and in promoting the whole mission of the Christian Faith, is and will be of benefit to many in the local community.
At times when there is no demand for housing Christian workers, properties are rented out either to others within the community or on the commercial market, thus generating income to financially further the trust’s objectives. This occurred during this year with one of the properties.
Achievements, performance and future plans
During the year the company managed two properties and the field adjacent to “the church” One of the properties was licensed to ‘’the church’’ for part of the year and the rest of the year to “ARCC” and the other property was let to Christian workers living in the local community.
The company was responsible for ensuring that the two properties were maintained in good habitable order and to this end expenditure was incurred on necessary maintenance work.
In view of the limited scale of the company’s activities and requirements, at present the directors do not feel a need to carry out any fund raising.
The directors, who manage the charity, will continue to operate the charity to fulfil its principal activity and objects and have no immediate plans to change the nature and scale of the work done to achieve these, but the matter is regularly reviewed at the directors’ meetings.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
Achievements, performance and future plans (continued)
The directors are conscious that rents from the Charity’s properties are its main source of income and they also understand that in the event of a reduction in particular Christian ministry housing demands, commercial renting is a secure option of income. The directors have made an assessment with respect to a period of one year from the date of approval and signature of these financial statements and have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions, that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern during this period.
Investments
During the course of the year, the directors decided to start an investment policy by choosing to invest in a cash deposit fund. A CCLA COIF Charities Deposit account was opened to lodge property rents, but maintaining a suitable operational balance in its current account. The deposit fund produced an expected return of £1,204.57 (2024: nil).
Financial review and reserves policy
The results for the year and the financial position at the year-end are shown on pages 7 to 8 of the financial statements. The directors currently have decided to retain sufficient cash reserves in the general unrestricted funds to facilitate the continued work of the company. It is also conscious of the need to plan for possible equity release requests and for clearing the outstanding mortgage This policy is reviewed as necessary by the Board.
Certain funds have been designated by the directors to represent the unrestricted funds which may only be realised by disposing of fixed assets held for the charity's use and after repaying the secured mortgage loan.
The company derives the whole of its income from the properties held for its charitable activities. The income derived is used to support the costs of ownership of the company’s properties.
The designated funds invested in fixed assets amount to £461,696.28 (2024: £471,528.00) and for maintenance of properties amount to £23,637.15 (2024: £17,420.15). The general funds at 31 December 2025 amounted to £45,880.77 (2024: £28,650.77).
Risk Management
The directors have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are put in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
The directors regularly examine the risks which the charitable company face and together control the operation of the charitable company and take the decisions on strategic and operational matters, which in their view minimises the risks to the charitable company. The directors have where necessary:
-
(a) Established procedures to mitigate risks identified.
-

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Accounting policies
1.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘’Accounting and Reporting by Charities’’ issued in March 2005, in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102); the Companies Act 2006; and UK Generally Accepted Practice. The directors have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The directors have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements.
Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
Preparation of the financial statements requires the directors to make significant judgements and estimates. The items in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made include:
-
The calculation of the value of the freehold land included in tangible fixed assts, which was carried out at the time of the transfer of the assets from the predecessor unincorporated charity to the Company (see note 7)
-
The useful economic life of tangible fixed assets for the purposes of determining the annual depreciation charge.
1.2 Income including donations
All income is accounted for once the charitable company has entitlement to the income, it is more likely than not that the income will be received and that the amount of the income received can be measured reliably. Donations include the estimated value of gifts made in kind where this arises.
Income from Gift Aid claims is recognised in the period in which the related income is received.
1.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is included in the SOFA on an accruals basis inclusive of Value added tax, which cannot be recovered, and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
1.4 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Freehold land and buildings are stated at their acquisition value plus additions at cost. Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of an asset less its estimated residual value over the useful economic life, of that asset as follows:
Freehold land is not depreciated
Freehold buildings - 2% per annum on acquisition value plus additions at cost.

1.5 Going concern
The directors have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The directors have made this assessment with respect to a period of one year from the date of approval and signature of these financial statements. The directors have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions, that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern during this period, (see also page 4 - the directors’ report under Achievements, performance and future plans.) The directors are of the opinion that the Charity will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due, as the charity has sufficient cash resources to meet its ongoing costs, should there be an unexpected curtailment of income.
1.6 Fund accounting
Funds held by the charitable company are:
Unrestricted general funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the directors.
Designated Funds, these are funds set aside by the Directors from unrestricted general funds to be used for specific purposes at the directors’ discretion and funds invested in the properties.
Restricted Funds are funds which can only be used for a particular purpose within the objects of the charitable company. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for restricted purposes. There were no restricted funds either at the beginning or end of the year, nor during the year.
2. Income
Charitable activities
Investment Income - £1,204.57 (2024: nil)
The directors approved the opening of a CCLA COIF Deposit account during the year to hold residual funds
Property rental - £31,700.00 (2024: £24,000.00)
The Trust’s freehold properties are let as follows:
-
a) 37 Milton Lawns was let under a commercial agreement to Christian workers living in the local community and this has continued during 2025.
-
b) 19 Stubbs End Close has been let under a licence agreement to (the church) at a modest rent for occupation by church and other Christian workers for 8 months of the year. During this time (the church) was responsible for all the maintenance costs, however the Trustees at their discretion meet certain costs. For 4 months of the year the property was let to ‘ARCC' under a Tenancy Agreement – “Charity Let to Church” and a similar arrangement for maintenance costs exists with ARCC. A deposit of £1,800.00 was received from ‘ARCC’ in respect of the tenancy agreement and is held by the charity.
