ort of the Trustees l Directors for the ear ended 31st December 2024 The trustees present the 2024 annual report, for West Street Christian Fellowship, in Crewe. structure Governance and Mana ement West Street Christian Fellowship (WSCF) is a company limited by guarantee. It incorporated on 11 th May 2004 and registered as a charity on 13th January 2005. The objects of the company are defined in our Memorandum of Association and the charity is governed by the rules in its Articles of Association. Should the company be wound up with insufficient funds to meet any liabilities, the mernbers are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 each. The church, formerly known as West Street Baptist Church, is based in the west end of Crewe, although it continues to attract members from a wider area of South Cheshire. The church changed ils name when it became a charitable company and has remained an independent church. It is a member of the Evangelical Alliance. The Church Leadership team take responsibility for the spiritual direction and wellbeing of the church fellowship The Trustees oversee the legal responsibilities and the management of the fellowship's resources. Whilst the Church Leadership Team and Trustees each have their own responsibilities they do meet regularly as a group to ensure good levels of co-operation and teamwork. WSCF operates a congregational decision-making model. Where key decisions are to be taken, e.g. some staff appointments and items of significant financial outlay, the Leadership team and Trustees will recommend a course of action. The church members are invited to vote on the proposals indicating their approval or otherwise. Church unity is very important to us so the leaders convene regular "Focus Days" where members of the congregation can both engage with what is eing discussed and share their thoughts on any fLrture direction of the church. Church services and meetings are open to the public. Church membership, however, is open to anyone who professes a genuine Christian faith, can agree to the church statement of faith, is at leasi 18 years old and has been baptised by total immersion. Baptism is very meaningful for people who have recently become Christians, but the rule has been problematic for people joining the Church from other denominations that don't practice baptism by total immersion. We recently changed our constitution so that established Christians frorn a different background can Join without this requirement. Charitsble Ob"ects Activities and Public Benefits Our Memorandum of Association describes the scope of our purposes as being. the advancement of the Christian faith, the advancement of education, the provision of facilities for the benefit of the community the relief of hardship. Our current activities in support of these aims are summarised as: 1. Church - Worship, Pastoral and Teaching 2. Youth and Schools Work 3. Community Projects 4. Christian Bookshop (In a muCh-redU￿d capacity) 5. Christian Mission and Relief Work The financial costs of these activities are analysed in the SOFA on Page 14.

We have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our airrs and objectives and planning for our activities. WSCF- Drawin Closer to Jesus- Summa b Rev. Graham Criddle Il's always a real privilege to review our annual report as it brings together, in one place, a surnmary of the many different things the church is involved in and sees as important. This ranges from the opportunities we have to meet together to grow in our relationship with God and with each other- a vital foundation for all we are - and the different ways in which we seek to serve and bless our community. And it is great to hear encouraging stories of how this happens in so many different ways. It reminds me that there is so much that is being done- but also so much more to be done as we respond to the needs of our community around us and seek to point people to Jesus. As mentioned in the next section, we value the times we meet together as a whole church family on Sunday mornings and throughout the year in most of these services we were focusing on different aspects of following Jesus seeking to deepen our understanding of him, to understand how he calls us to live, to rejoice in who we are because of our relationship with him. This was really important and encouraging as we were reminded again of the person who Is at the centre of all we are and all we do and the change he makes in our lives, in our relationships and how we spend our time. And it was really good to be able to explore these themes further in our Lifegroups and seek to find different ways of putting what we were learning and experiencing into practice. We also spent about six weeks looking at the importance of building a healthy culture in a church context- a place where people know they are welcomed, respected and cared for as well as encouraged to grow in their relationship with Jesus. This was an important step building on our long-standing commitment to safeguarding and provided us with material to develop and adopt (in 2024) a healthy culture policy for the church. It says much about the sort of people we are seeking to be and really encouraging to have been able to work through this together. All of this flows from a desire to follow Jesus to the best of our ability - recognising that we need his help to enable us to do it. And it is such a privilege to be part of a community with a deep desire for God, care for each other and a heart to share what we have with those who don't yet know Jesus. But, as in all families, there is change and it has been sad to have people leave us - sorne as they died and others as they moved to different parts of the country. At the same time, it has been a great joy to welcome new people among us and for them to become part of our church family. A reminder that the church is a living community that continues to change and we continue to look to God for guidance as to how we move forward into what God has in store for us next and continue to rejoice in the blessing and provision he pours out upon us. Princi le Activities Achievements and Performance 1. Church- Worshi Pastoral and Teachin Providing facilities for worship, pastoral care and teaching is a core part of our charitable purposes. At the centre of our church life together is our 10.30am Sunday morning service. It provides an opportunity for everyone to come and enjoy the public worship of God through singing, praying and learning from bible-based teaching. Spending time with each other is a key part of the whole experience and it is good to see a nice mix of ages represented with both young and older families plus many single people too. We are delighted that there is a nice blend of people frorn different ethnic backgrounds coming together in unity. We regularly see new people visiting us and we are really pleased when some choose to join with us and become members of our church family.

Age and health issues sometimes prevent people from joining with us in the church building. When it works well, technology is our friend allowing people to join in our services from home via Zoom. The sermons are recorded and also published on You Tube. Life is a journey. Faith is also a journey. It is so good to be on this journey with other like- minded people. This is not just confined to Sunday mornings. Mid week meetings in homes or other buildings take place. Some meet during the day, while others meet in the evenings. These Life Groups, as we call them allow smaller groups of people to meet and share their life experiences, supporting each other in prayer and in other practical ways. Bible teaching is also important to us to provide that faith framework as we seek to be followers of Jesus. There is so rnuch to learn. We have a varied programme of prayer meetings during the month. Some are held on Zoom. For others we meet together. One of our early morning prayer meetings for men, also involves a full English breakfast. That always goes down well! Another group occasionally does litter picking in the locality, which we combine with praying for the families who live there. It is important for us to stay relevant and up to date as a Church. Our Senior Leader, Rev. Graham Criddle has formed useful links with a national network of churches and church leaders, known as the Kairos Connexion. In April we hosted a two day Kairos event for church based groups from across the country. The aim is to encourage and leam from each other. We wish to make a positive impact on our society and learn how we can do it better. In an increasingly secular age, our outreach shouldn't be limited to merely inviting people to attend church services, important as that is. So, we are trying new things. One of those "new things" was actually started in 2022 by another of our leaders, Heather Pritchard. Heather continues to spearhead this monthly venture called "Super Sundays" It is aimed at younger people and young families who may not be used to attending a traditional church service. We are helping people enjoy being part of a faith based community In an environment they can feel comfortable with. They meet at different times, in different locations, often share a meal together and have games for the children. With an underlying Christian theme, the idea is to build community and to encourage people to develop and enjoy their faith. In partnership with other local churches we have been very involved in running Alpha Courses. These courses were designed by Holy Trinity Brompton Church in London and have been used to great effect introducing people to the Christian faith across the world. They are very thought provoking and enjoyable. There is a video, discussions and food. Sadly from time to time, many in the fellowship experience difficulties and need a degree of support and encouragement. This is especially true for our elderly members. Our pastoral work is co-ordinated by Tim Oakley along with his role of managing our CAP centre. Tim and the members of our leadership team are keen to establish a network of people who can look out for each other and provide support where we can. It is all part of being church together. Church membership at our 2024 AGM was 108. New people have been attending the church, but it takes some time before they express an interest in becoming full members.

1. Youth and Schools Work School based Meetin We recognise that in many primary schools, teachers may not have the required specialist knowledge to cover the religious education curriculum to the depth required which can place a significant burden on them. To help address this one of our staff members, Heather Pritchard, herself a qualified teacher continues to go into three local primary schools during term time. She teaches from the Cheshire East RE Agreed Syllabus, engaging children in the Christianity Units of the curriculum. This enables the class teachers to access expertise in the subject and gain fresh ideas for their own teaching. She has also been part of SACRE working parties to help resource the curriculum which was relaunched back in 2022. One headteacher said: 'f17e RE lessons that are delivered are outstanding and all the children enjoy them. It also helps school as each lesson is professional development for the staff members. Lessons are delivered in an interesting way, are always well organised and after inteNiewing the children about sticky knowledge, they certainly remember them. The children absolutely love IGthus club and we always get a lot of children join the club. The celebrations that take part in church are also excellent and the Icthus club get the chance to perform in front of parents. Heather and Kale are both a real asset to our school. Thank you. ' Another of our staff members, Kate Matthews plus one of our volunteers, provide coaching for children in one of our primary schools. They offer one to one mentoring to children for one hour each week for a minimum of one school year. These children have been identified by the school as being at risk of exclusions and disengagement from learning for a variety of reasons. The schools have noticed a real improvement in these children so it has proved to be such a worthwhile activity. All these school based activities are paid for by the church. Church based meetin Three times a year - Christmas, Easter and Summer - we provide a holiday club for primary age children in the area, called "the ARK" (one day each at Christmas and Easter and five in the Summer) where we welcome be￿een 50-60 children to spend this time with us. The day begins at 10'.30am and the children engage in worship, Bible teaching and response time. We ask parentslcarers to provide a packed lunch for their children and then we continue in the afternoon with a range of workshops, finishing at 3'.15pm. These are a selection of parents comments trvhat I love about The Ark is that the activities they engage in are always such fun and fresh but also gives them a great understanding of Christianity and how best to navigate the Bible - appropriate to their age and understanding. They are happy to ask questions and join in with every activity, discussing with their friends along the way. (This is important to me as a parent that they are happy to express their feelings and views with others and also take on theirfriend's thoughts too.) My Ghildren thrive off learning new skills and The Ark really does keep them engaged at all times. I love hearing what they get up to and what they have learnt. We get shown their dances and songs and most importantly their feelings and thoughts on Jesus and the Bible. Sometimes they even teach mel" Up until August 2024, we ran a Friday night youth club called "Fusion" aimed at primary school children. We provided a range of activities and workshops including football, craft, cooking, garnes and 'super skills, etc. and all within a Christian context, with some biblically based reflections on life. The children loved it all. The Church paid for a coach to collect the children who had no transport. Sadly our number of volunteers has dwindled and we couldn't muster enough adults to maintain our required Safeguarding limits. We haven't given up the hope that

we might be able to resume at some point in the future. Some of the children are demanding to know when it will start againl Teenage years. We have a good group of young people who meet together on a Sunday morning at church, and it's pleasing to see some of them joining the church music group and others use their computer skills in our increasing use of IT as part of our services. Learning new skills and being a part of the wider church family. Some of them mix with teenagers from other churches too and this provides additional encouragement for them. 3. Cornmunit Pro'ects To show the love of Christ to the community in practical ways. Christians Against Poverty One of the other areas where people are struggling is in managing their finances and many of them end up in debt. This can have significant impact on people including causing mental and physical health problems, lessening self-esteem, impacting family relationships, and - sadly can sometimes even lead to suicide. Recognising this need, we established a debt support centre thirteen years ago, working with the national charity "Christians Against Poverty (CAP). We employ two people, supported by volunteers, to operate this centre and to work with our clients. As the team works with these clients, they develop deep relationships with them., help increase confidence and a hope that issues can be resolved,. help in conversations with creditors, suppliers and other agencies. Over the last year our team fulfilled 49 new appointments with 83 family members benefitting fiorn our work. During this period we also provided ongoing support for our existing clients where necessary and had 25 people go debt free, which was so encouraging. Also in 2024, we did a lot of work in the Polish community, with almost a third of our appointments being with Polish families. It has been great to have the opportunity to offer our service to a rnuch wider base and we have seen almost half of our Polish clients becoming debt free! S Minus - Pre-school Playgroup Within our locality we encounter many parents of pre-school children who are finding life to be lonely and difficult. There is very little support for them. Sadly this can often hold back the development of their children and later on they can find it difficult to engage with school when they are old enough. So there is a real need for both parents and children to be part of a loving and caring community where they can find friendship and feel safe, welcomed, listened to and supported. This describes our parent and toddler group"5 Minus"! 11 meets four mornings a week in one of our buildings. Each day up to 45 children attend, plus their carers. The overall number of children attending in the last four months of 2024 were 250 in September, 300 in October, 280 in November and 70 in December (a short month due to Christmas holidays). It is a real privilege to watch the children develop during their time here, with many coming as babies and staying with us until they are ready for school. One example of this is a little boy who has recently been adopted who comes with his new parent and we have seen him grow in confidence and really enjoy the routine of the group and the opportunities for play We encourage the children to sit together for a snack and help tidy things away. These are small steps but an important part of their development. As mentioned above, we are focusing on trying to help children become ready to start school. Nationally, so many children are not properly prepared for this. Our early years specialist, Kate Matthews, has worked with the 5 Minus staff team to develop an appropriate development curriculum to guide use of resources, activities and stories. We believe that this will really help in the development of these young children. And this work has been recognised at a national level with the publication of a resource to help others, who run

toddler groups elsewhere, to realise the valuable work they are doing and offer some best practice suggestions. This resource was launched in 2023 in Parliament, followed by an online launch in February 2024, and we are continuing to work with a national team to provide practical tools to go alongside it. Friendship Hub Friendship Hub, that meets every Friday morning., reaching out to anyone who needs a safe warm space to relax, socialise and feel part of a community who care. Our aim is to reduce isolation for those who live alone in the community by providing opportunities to meet other Feople and try new activities. We offer warm drinks, biscuits, toast (free of charge). Once a month we will provide a light lunch and every fifth Friday we arrange to share a Fish and Chip Lunch. We provide craft activities, card making, plant potting, manicures, knitting etc, Games, scrabble, dominoes, and for more active people Curling and Botcha. Some weeks we will have a quiz or a puzzle. We also welcome different organisations who can provide appropriate information such as Cadent (Warm Homes initiative) or local housing association contacts. There is no obligation to join in the activities and some prefer to just chat with friends and engage with what they are cornfortable with. We have advertised in local supermarkets, chemists and housing associations and have delivered leaflets to the local area. We are advertised on the Cheshire East Website as a Warm Hub. Volunteers who help to run the activities are from the church and enjoy serving and befriending new people. All age groups and abilities are invited, but we attract mostly older people and those who live alone. Some who come have had a diagnosis of dementia but recognise their need to continue to socialise and keep active. It also provides a sense of "ownership" as we encourage all members to serve when they can, providing a feeling of belonging to the group and realising there is something they can contribute to society. This group decreases the isolation of those who live alone or who have reduced opportunity to meet others. The activities are designed to help people engage with something new or re- engage with old skills. Exercise and physical games help to keep our guests active and reduce the effects of inactivity and aid emotional health. We regularly get 10-20 people each week, with this increasing to 30 for special events - this gives real opportunity for people to get to know each other and build relationships. Other Community groups. Vvhen our rooms are not being used, we are able to allow other community groups to use them. Our Maybury Centre building and our Church Hall are in demand by quite a varied selection of groups. For example, the Cheshire, Halton & Warrington Race & Equality Centre (CHAWREC) hire rooms every working day for their ever-popular English language classes for people whose first language is not English. This reflects the ethnic diversity in Crewe. The AA hold meetings for people recovering from drug or alcohol abuse. We are able to offer facilities to the YMCA for some of their youth and community projects and to the local U3A. A number of other smaller churches who don't have their own premises meet in the Maybury Centre. Parents are keen to hold their Children's birthday parties in our Church Hall. The properties are well used. 4. Christian Booksho Within the reception area of our Maybury Centre, is a small bookstall area selling a few books, bibles and a selection of birthday and greeting cards with a scriptural theme.

1. Christian Mission and Relief Work In addition to our own church and the community we live in, the church has to keep in focus the wider world too. There is so much need. The projects we support are generally ones where members of our congregation have special involvement. Here are a few examples.
2. A Church family opened the Herridge Technical School in Burundi for orphans and destitute children, in 2007. They still manage their charity known as ACTS (Africa Christian Teaching Service) and spend several weeks in Burundi each year. Their school has excellent results and has earned a good reputation.
3. One of our members is part of the leadership of Flame International and they organise special mission trips to Ugandalsouth SudanlDemocratic Republic of Congo. They reach out to many traumatised people following the constant violent unrest, encourage local Christian leaders, and when able, speak to the Army and visit prisons. They bring the good news of Jesus to people and their reports of things they have witnessed as they have prayed for people, have been remarkable. They teach a lot about forgiveness, which is not easy considering what these people have faced in life, but it is a key to their renewal.
4. Two of our church members are permanently based in New Zealand and work with communities and churches in the South Pacific.
5. A couple who have special links to Haiti, arranged for the leaders of House of Hope in Haiti to visit our church. We contributed £1,671 to their project in caring for orphans and providing food and education in the face of the appalling gang warfare that has gripped that country. There are many UK projects we support too. As a principle we look to set aside a tithe (give 10 % l of our unrestricted Church income to help these projects away from our base in Crewe. Due to the timing of some projects, some of the money is held over to the following year. In total we have been able to provide a grand total of £28,283 to support Christian outreach, mission and disaster relief. Volunteers We employed nine paid members of staff. However, we could not function properly without the support from our willing and talented volunteers. They contribute so much of their time to the different ministries at church. We try to encourage people to become involved in serving others. Some people doubt they have anything to offer, but we just want people to offer friendship, be welcorning and to offer support and to pray for one another. That is something most of us can do. Risks We have a small team that takes care of safeguarding at West Street. We have invested in a CPOMS safeguarding monitoring system and are in the process of revising our policies. All our key workers are DBS checked and it is a high priority for us to keep all children and vulnerable adults safe, whether they are part of our church family or our local community. A church should be one of the safest of places for people, but sadly we know from news reports that this cannot always be assumed to be the case. In recent years, various Trustees and other key church members have been able to attend training courses on both Safeguarding, Mental Heatth issues and also First Aid. Our buildings are maintained by our skilled and capable volunteers. In 2021 we employed the services of a professional chartered surveyor as part of an ongoing 5 year (quinquennial) review. This helps to direct our maintenance priorities. Fire equipment is updated annually. 10

PAT testing is done. Any health and safety issues are dealt with as soon as they become apparent. Insurance policies are updated each year and we maintain copyright licences for music perforrnance and streaming. Financial Review Our total income for the year, including restricted funds, reached £333,724 (2023 £266,465). Expenditure (including depreciation charges) was £324,954 {2023 £312,121). The accounts and accompanying notes analyse these figures. This produced a surplus of £8,770 (2023 deficit of £45,656). This represents the movement in total net assets. The Net Cash Flow in the year shows a surplus of £23,943 {2023 a deficit of £22,441). This represents the movements in the cash and bank balances during the year. 11 should be noted that the improvement in finances was due to the receipt of legacy gifts from o of our church members who sadly passed away. Reserves Polic Our current reserves policy aims to stabilise our unrestricted cash and bank balances at a level sufficient to cover our next three to four months of expenditure. This would suggest that our optimum cash balances would be approximately £90,000. At the end of 2024 our unrestricted church funds cash balances totalled £155,017. Trustees We are currently operating the charity with four trustees whereas we would ideally like to have at least six. We are currently looking to recruit new members from within the Church membership. For new trustees training will be offered to supplement the sharing of knowledge within the existing group. All trustees recognise the need to keep abreast of current legislation affecting charities. Trustees, Res onsibilities The trustees (who are also directors of West Street Christian Fellowship for the purposes of Cornpany Law) are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. Cornpany 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 of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to-. Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. Prepare financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the trust will continue in existence. State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. ObseNe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the trust and hen￿ for taking responsible steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The report has been prepared taking advantage of the small company's exemption of section 415A ofthe Companies Act 2006.

In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(51{b} of the Charities Act 2011.
