## Objects of the charity 

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 

## Our objectives 

The charity’s objects are as follows: 

- e To advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs in Portsmouth and the surrounding Solent region and in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the trustees may from time to time think fit and to fulfil such other purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the laws of England and Wales and are connected with the charitable work of the trust. 

- To relieve persons who are in conditions of need and hardship or who are aged and sick and to relieve the distress caused thereby in the Portsmouth area and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the trustees may from time-to-time think fit. 

- e To advance education in accordance with Christian principles by such means as the trustees may consider appropriate. 

- e To provide community facilities for recreational and other leisure time occupation in the interests of social welfare for persons who have need by reason of their youth, poverty, or social and economic circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life in the Solent region. 

- e It is our desire to know Christ personally and to make him known in the Solent area and to the ends of the earth. 

## Achievements and performance 

The work of the church has focussed solely on fulfilling its charitable objectives. Specific highlights in the report below are structured around connecting people to faith (CONNECT), caring for the church and the surrounding community (CARE), advancing Christian education (COACH), and supporting organisations with the same aim (COMMISSION). 

All activities were conducted to serve the vision of the church: ‘to see lives and communities, in, around and beyond Portsmouth transformed by the Gospel, enjoying God and glorifying Him in all things.’ \n pursuit of this vision a new congregation was planted into the Milton/Baffins area of the city to bring hope and share truth to this community. The new congregation, known as Shore Avenue, after the road the venue is on, launched on 25" September 2022 with approximately 55 people, meeting every Sunday.

## CONNECT 

Our Sunday morning services took place at the John Pounds Centre (PO1) and Shore Avenue, with the sermon continuing to be streamed online. Having an online presence continued to enable Christ Central Church to connect with people across the region, including overseas, so that they could hear biblical teaching and the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Our mid-week groups continue to provide an opportunity for church members to make friends, grow in faith and connect with the life of the church. The groups were supplemented by an increase in activity style groups, including board game evenings, and groups were run to provide an opportunity for members of the public to explore the Christian faith and connect with the church community. 

Our Little Ones Stay and Play parent and toddler group continued to provide an opportunity for parents of young children in the community to connect with parents in the church. Our annual Light Party, an alternative to Halloween, continues to grow connecting 65 children, many of whom were guests to this church event. 

This year, Christ Central Church began a partnership with the Great South Run, providing marshals, and hosting a route-side refreshments stop for spectators. It was a great privilege to support the event and have many thousands run past our PO1 venue. 

The church sent and gained many members, and 13 people were baptised on Sunday mornings throughout the year. The church has grown in its diversity with 32 nationalities represented in the church — an International Sunday and shared lunch helped to mark and celebrate this. 

Easter and Christmas events helped non-churched people to connect socially with church members leading to invitations to join us on a Sunday morning to hear Christian teaching. 

Regular donations to the church, which is an indicator of the health of the core of the church, increased by 8% on the previous year again mainly due to the increase in church membership from the joining church. One-off donations to the church increased on the year before, not yet recovering to historic levels. The regular donations show the church continues to have a strong core membership supporting the aims and objectives of the charity. 

## CARE 

Our group ministry is the primary mechanism for connecting attendees to care within the church. This year groups were held in person and online, so as not to prejudice members who were unable to meet in person. 

We continued to have the opportunity to care for our local community through providing Christmas Hampers to the most vulnerable in the Portsea area with the help of the Portsea Housing Office. Fifty hampers were given to Portsea residents, asylum seekers and local charities. 

We have church members volunteering with various organisations in the city that seek to bring hope, incl. Street Pastors.

## COACH 

In addition to Gospel-centred preaching every Sunday at the John Pounds Centre, and online, the church provided Christian education through our mid-week meetings and various courses. 

This year the church conducted a variety of courses and events to educate members of Christian Biblical principles: Pre-marriage preparation, Conquer Series, Fix Your Focus, and church membership courses. Men’s and Women’s events happened termly to provide an additional opportunity to coach, care and connect. A group attended Commission’s Students and Twenties Conference and a ‘Summer Special’ day of equipping saw our students and twenties coached and encouraged. 

The church financially supported a staff member to undertake ‘Level 2' theological training course with the Commission network, as well as supporting a church member to take part in the intern programme. Two staff members also attended the THINK Theology conference. 

## COMMISSION 

In addition to funding the church programme, 10% of the income given was distributed as a tithe to support the work of Commission (our partner network of churches), and local and global organisations. 

Global initiatives supported include A Fonte Church in Penafiel, Compassion UK, Christians in Action, International China Concern, Springs of Life and Hope, and two international missionaries. A one-off donation was also given to churches in Ukraine through Catalyst network. 

Local and national organisations supported this year include UCCF, Faith in Football, Street Pastors, Hope into Action Portsmouth, City of Sanctuary, and Pregnancy Options. 

## Financial review 

For the financial year ended 31 August 2023 the charity had a deficit of £16,434 (2022: deficit of £13,789). Total income in the period was £243,469 (2022: £219,083), with expenditure of £259,903 (2022: £232,872). 

Total funds at 31 August 2023 were £58,070 (2022: £74,504) of which £57,835 relates to general funds and £235 relates to restricted funds for a Covid-19 Support Fund. 

## Reserves Policy 

Since the inception of the charity, it has been the policy of the trustees to retain resources sufficient to cover the equivalent of two months of charitable expenditure. 

At the balance sheet date free reserves (general funds less the amount held as fixed assets) of £53,096 (2022: £68,627) are equivalent to just under two and a half months of charitable expenditure. The trustees will continue to monitor the level of reserves, and the charity's reserves policy, in the new financial period.
