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	To achieve the above objectives, the church is active on two main fronts: Firstly, we organise several activities for those associated directly with the church. We meet 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 club 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 runs a Community Café, providing a place of friendship and fellowship for all. • Every Monday morning the Renew22 group meets. This is an open space of welcome and inclusion for over 18s in partnership with mental health services to improve mental and emotional wellbeing.


		• Every term-time Wednesday morning 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 range of organisations make use of the facilities. • 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.
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.	Our community	The number of in-person attendees and on- line viewers has grown slightly during 2025, with 7 people being baptised. The number of actively participating members also grew. 2025 was the first year for our new minister, who delivered several in-depth, bible-based preaching series as well as organising a number of visiting preachers and events, including Doug Horley, Friends International, Compassion UK and the Praizin Hands Puppets nativity event. Our minister, pastoral coordinator and pastoral support team have continued to provide care for the elderly, sick and those in need. The church members and broader fellowship were actively engaged with the church, volunteering for church activities and generously financially supporting the charity. The local community has continued to engage with the charity’s activities including the thriving Parent and Toddler group, Community Café, Renew22 and Youth Club. We opened our beautiful new community sensory garden at the front of our church, funded in part by Test Valley Borough Council. Furthermore, we completed a major building restoration project, maintaining the premises for future generations. The capital cost of these projects was offset by the generous giving of the Church congregation and members, but did result in a net reduction in funds.

Financial Review

Total income £ 191,379 Total expenditure £ 251,296 Deficit £59,917


Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	Cash at bank and in hand at 31/12/2025 was £119,860
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.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	£ 50,500

Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted	Para 1.46	N/A
A description of the principal risks facing the charity	Para 1.46	Risk: Reduction in donations from Church congregation / membership. Outcome: A reduction in income would reduce the work the church could do in achieving its aims

Mitigation: The trustees would prioritise the outgoings to ensure that the ‘business critical’ work could continue, and the church could support its employees in the work they do. In the worst case, some staff reductions might be necessary. Other

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 2025, 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.
