CHRISTIAN CITY CHURCH- CHELTENHAM
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the year ended 31st March 2025 (Continued)
FinaDCiAI Review
The total income for the year was £379,953 and total expenditure on charitable activities amounted to £368,237.
Salaries continued to represent a significant expenditure. the Church has continued to employ a number of part
time staff including the Senior Minister, a Co-Pastor, Administrators. Cleaners and Facilities Manager. A
number of chureh members were involved, on a voluntary basis, in leading and supporting various activities in
the church.
Income from the use of the building and green by the community has risen significantly from £121,974 in 2024
to £166.972 in 2025. Potentially VAT-able activities continue to be below the VAT th￿ShOld. The church
continues to run its Vision Builders programme of designated giving for the outworking of its vision, funds are
currently being saved for a number of refurbishment projects. £6,169 was spent in this year. Funds were also
received from other churches in Cheltenham and surrounds towards the running of the CAP Debt Counselling
Centre.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees have examined the Charity's requirements for reserves taking account of the main risks to the
organisation. They have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in
tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be between 2 and 3 months of exp¢nditure. The Trustees
consider that this should be £60,000 in general funds. The reserves are needed to meet the working capital
requirement of the Charity and the Trustees are confident that at this level they would be abl¢ to continue the
current activities of the Charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. Current income reserves stand at
£60,588 plus £41,966 in the deposit account. With restricted funds held of £20,532 the present instantaneous
level of reserves available to the Charity is therefore £82,022. The Trust<¢.s th¢r¢fore consid¢r the current
reserves to be at a suitable level.
