donations or Dther payments (includlng Informal loans) to individuals, organisation5, charities, churches,
societie5 or institutions locally, nationally or i nternationally as the trustees think fit.
In preparlng the annual budget, decisions are made as to expenditure of funds in the form of grants to
various bodies and individuals. Those decisions are based on a consideration of the extent to which the
work being carried out by those bodles or individuals coincides with the overall aims and obJectiv@s of

Gr8nt5 are made lal for individual projects and Ibl on a time basis. Time-based grants are made on two
bases..
il for one year only,
ii) for a period of years.
Grants made for one year only may be repeated In following years. Grants made for a period of years are,
nonetheless, reviewed at least annually. I n all cases, the actual payment of a grant is contingent upon there
being sufficient funds with i n the charity, and the receiving body or individual continuing with the work for
which the grant was originally made or carrying out such other work as coincides with the overall aims and

Church, They are assisted by two part-time members of paid staff.
Ordinarily the substantial remainder of the work is carried out by other members of the Chu rch who are
volunteers, receiving no payment for thel r services, but givlng themselves to the work as they follow the
call of Jesus Christ on their lives to serve Him and make His way known in tho com munitles in which they

opportunity which arose in the industrial estate. In just 9 days, we nearly doubled our Building Fund

Flnancial review
Prlnclpal funding sources
The fi nanci ng of the overall aims of the Church has been achieved almost exclusively by gifts, donations
and offerings from the Church membership and others attending the Church. This forms around 88% of
the church's non-speclflc Income and has durlng the year under review been bo15tered by additional
one-off gifts from members of the church.
Tax rellef obtalned from HMRC as a consequence of glving made by donDrs under the Gift Ald Scheme
contributes a further Il% of non-specific income.
The remaining 1% of Income is received from miscellaneous sources, government grants, and bank
Interest.
Expendlture
The expenditure of the church in fulf i Iling the overall aims described earlier has been almost exclusively
concentrated on:
maintai ning and expanding the resource base of leadership and staff.
satisfying the conditions of the King's Centre lease to f urther pursue our own building project;
flnancing the Church's outreach programmes; and
giving to projects in the U K and overseas as the Church has sought to carry out its aims.
buying and working on our new premlses on the Industrial estate, formally known as TribLAne
House.
A11 a55et5 of the charity have been and are being used to further the Eeneral work of the church, as well as
to relieve sickness ancl poverty and advance the Christian faith gonerally, in the United Kingdom and
abroad.
The funds of the charity have been applied as described in the Income a nd Expenditure account, and the
accounts of the Restricted Funds.
The General Fund surplus occurring under the charity in the year ended 31 March 2024 amounted to
£3,458, The Trustees recommend that the balance of £184,120 be carried forward.
The Trustees are not aware of any needs beyond the budgeted norrnal running costs of the charity in
fulfilling its objects and aims.
At the end of the year, the Trustees held total reserves Ithat Is those funds that are freely available),
derived from income received throughout the year, amounting to £1,239,794. This sum, apart from the
balances relating to the various Restricted Funds, 15 not intended to be retained to cover any particular
contingency, but Is to be used to further the work of the church in the manner described earlier. such
reserve5 may, therefore, be more appropriately understood to be an overall balance of income (including
the brought forward bala ncesl over expenditure that has been reported in the financial statements at the
end of the financi81 year,

Financial revlew
Reserves policy
The trustees of Ki ng's Church Uckfield IKCU) see signif icant val ue i n holding cash reserves with the aim of
eliminating the impact of one or more unforeseen, short-term financial shocks. Such shocks wlll typically
i nvolve a signiflcant, unforecast f all In Income andlor substantial, unplanned and unavoidable expendlture.
The intent of these reserves is to enable the church tD continue to operate for a defined perSod of time,
continuing to work towards its aims and objectives, while the trustees fully assess the situation and
formulate a medium to long-term plan, if felt necessary.
To help the trustees calculate the correct levol of cash reserves, we will take guidance from the
recommendations Issued by the Charity Cornmission of England & Wales. The minimum level will be based
on the period of time we are looklng to cover and the current level of church liabilities (such as salaries and
building costs), We will however also take account of the future level of church liabilities, where a
significant change is expected in the short to medlum-term,
With the church's stated goal of ownlng Its own bu ilding, the trustees consider it prudent to Increase our
reserves over a flve-year period from their 2018119 level of £15,700 to £36,000 (i.e. aimed to be £5,000
per annuml. This higher reserves level will increase the period of cover from 4 weeks to 8 weeks and will
also allow for the Significant step-change In staffing and building cost5 associated with running our own
building. At the beginning of the 2023-24 financial year, we had already reached our target of £36,000.
The trustees will Continue to make a decision at the end of each financial year as to the desired level of
reserves. Only surplus funds will be used to further bolster our reserves. If no surplus funds are available,
the trustees may decSde to take more surplus funds into the reserves in subsequent years and/or mav
decide to extend the perlod over which the reserves reach their new targeted level.
Future plans
The maln development in the next year is the continued rebuilding of our presence in Ucl<field after the
pandemic stripped away many of our community groups. Our aim for thls last year and continues to be
that as a church we becorre stronger and more resilient - financially, technologicallyj practically and
spiritually.
We have succeeded in looklng for a church bullding to make 2 permanent home to increasse our capacity
for groups, events and community projects. Now that we have that space, we are looking at how we can
develop it further to better equip ourselves and increase our abilities as a church, as well as better serve
our local community.
This year we have run the Church on only one full-time and two part-time staff members, desplte the
significant increase of workload surrounding a new building. The vast majority of the jobs needed
surrounding the day-to-day running in addition to the purchase of a new building have been delegated to
volunteers but we aim to be able to increase the hours of our staff as our finances improve in the coming
years.
