Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	The principal purpose of the Church is the advancement of the Christian faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination. The Church may also advance education and carry out other charitable purposes in the United Kingdom and/or other parts of the world.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	In order to achieve the above objectives, the church is active on two main fronts: Firstly, we provide a number of activities for those associated directly with the church. We meet together each Sunday morning for public worship and twice per month in the evening. We also provide an additional monthly ‘Traditional Service’. Communion of the Lord’s Supper is observed normally twice each month. We provide a full children’s programme, including teaching during Sunday morning worship Youth clubs and GRACE (girls weekday evening group). There are House groups meeting at various homes on a number of weekdays, providing support and spiritual growth within the fellowship. Secondly, we seek to reach out into the community around us. Every Saturday the church provides a Community Cafe for all to attend and every term-time Wednesday we host a Parent and Toddler group. We are involved in Churches Together in Romsey, the umbrella organisation of the seven local churches. The church premises are made available for community use, and a wide range of organisations make use of the facilities. Our church works with Churches Together in Romsey for a number of united events each year. We are a Fairtrade


		church, support Romsey Foodbank by collecting groceries for distribution to needy people and have an active group supporting Christian Aid. We support the local Christians Against Poverty group financially and with a part time staff member.
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	All trustees are made aware of the rights and obligations of a trustee on appointment. Confirmation of understanding is acknowledged through the signing of the document setting out said rights and obligations.

Achievements and Performance


	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	The number of in-person attendees and on- line viewers has remained steady during 2024. During 2024 the Church sought to recruit a new minister. Seven candidates were interviewed and two were called to preach. After prayerful deliberation by the members, broader fellowship, leaders and trustees, our Associate Pastor Fiona Blaker was proposed for the position of minister. The members voted overwhelmingly to accept the proposal, and Fiona will be appointed in post on January 1st2025. A new pastoral coordinator was appointed during 2024 and the temporary contract for the Children’s worker came to an end in November 2024. The church continues to support CAP, the food bank and the food pantry in Romsey.

The Parent and Toddler group is thriving and supporting the community of young families and the community café provides an opportunity for the social engagement and light refreshments on a Saturday morning.

Financial Review

Total income £168,859 Total expenditure £140,043 Surplus £28,816


Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	Cash at bank and in hand at 31/12/2024 is £204,055
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	The church needs reserves to cover its financial commitments in the event of any significant variation in its income or any significant unexpected expense. It would seem prudent to set the level of reserves to 35% of the anticipated annual spend. The amount is to be assessed annually against the budget, which is set based on our vision, commitments and anticipated income. Special attention should be paid to changes in the requirements of the Charity Commission, the BU Guidelines and any special circumstances encountered, e.g. loans, together with cash-in-hand and a carefully considered view of the expected income.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S

REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

OF

Romsey Baptist Church

('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

The Company’s gross income was more than £25,000 but did not exceed £250,000. An independent examination is therefore required in accordance with Charities Commission guidance.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
