Revlew of actlvlties forthe public beneflt
The church is not a building, but a community of ordinary people of different ages and b8ckgrounds, whose
lives have been changed by Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The New Testament reveals the church as
communÉty of people, property laughl and cared for, who by lovlng and servlng Jesus Chrlst, are also

they do this primariEy, but not exclusively, with and Ihrough local churches.
3. Friends International. a Christian charity seeking to orow friendship and faith with international studenls
in the UK and Ireland. We support this work in our city of Leicester.

Safeguarding Statement
We want everyone who comes into contact with us to feel safe, valued and cared for. We believe that each
person is made in the image of God, and as a result has an inherent dignty and worth.
As a church we take safeguarding seriously and we work with Socal and national organisation to help us to
do all we can to keep everyone safe. We will fulfil all our legal duties to protect both children and Adu￿$ at
Risk of Abuse, but we aim to go above and beyond and to discharge our safeguarding duties in a way that
is biblically faithful and pleasing to our loving heaventy Father, who calls us to do justice. love kindness and
to walk humbly before him. We commit to speaking to you openty and honestly if we have any GOn￿mS
that you need to know about. If you have any concems or require any support of help, please do not
hesitate to speak to someone that you trust within the church. For more information on our safeguarding
policy and who to contsct with any safeguarding concerns, see our church website.
Future developments
ACC has continued to support and encourage the planting of a new church on the Eyres Monsell estate.
On 27th June 2024 Ey￿S Monsell Community Church was registered with The Charity Commission as
Charitsble Incorporated Oraanisation.
These accounts show income and expenditure through a restricted fund. 'Growing a Church for Eyres
Monsell, {see Note 10). It is anticipated the balance on this restricted fund will be paid over to Eyres
Monsell Community Church as a grant, along with a further regular grant commitment already provided for
in these accounts.
Flnancial review
The financial statements on pages 6-12 summarise the incoming resources and application of resources
during the year ended 31 August 2024. The result for the year was:
Unrestricted funds:
Net surplus for the year of £12,582 (2023: net surplus of £3,054)
Reslricted funds..
Net surplus for the year of £14,865 (2023: net deficil of £4,184)
Unrestrlcted reserves policy
The trustees have established a policy whereby free resenies (which the trustees define as unrestricted
general fvnds less fixed assets, less any debtor for loan repayments that do not fall due within the next 12
months) held by the charitsble company should be no less than £21,000 (which equates to approximately
two months unrestricted expenditure) so that the charity could continue to operate should income andlor
expendiiure vary unexpectedty. At the year end, the chaTiiYs free reseNes were approximately £58,000
and the charity is complying with its reserves policy. Having assessed the charitys reserves. and our
expectations for income and expenditure, we are satisfied that the charity will be able to continue to
operate for at least the next 12 months and these accounts have been prepared using the going concern
assumption.
Rfsk statement
The trustees have reviewed the risks to which a small charty operating with few employees is exp)sed.
Appropriate procedures are in place to identify. monitor and revtew these risks on a ￿gU[ar basis.
