**RCCG Majesty Connections Trustees Annual Report** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The charity’s purposes are the advancement of the Christian faith and the provision of charitable services for the benefit of the wider community. 

To further these purposes during 2025, the charity carried out the following principal activities: 

. Regular public worship, prayer meetings, Christian teaching and residential retreats 

. Discipleship, pastoral care, and ministry to children, young people, and adults 

. Community outreach and evangelistic activities 

. The operation of Basildon Foodbank and associated support services 

In planning activities, the trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

During 2025, the church continued to experience growth in attendance and participation, resulting in the operation of two Sunday services. Teaching, prayer (including residential retreats), and pastoral activities supported the spiritual wellbeing of members and encouraged active engagement in community life. 

A significant achievement during the year was the continued development of Basildon Foodbank, which operates as a core outreach ministry of the church. The food bank expanded its operations across two sites, improving accessibility and capacity to respond to local need. The introduction of fresh food provision and the embedding of on-site financial inclusion support enhanced the quality and dignity of the service offered. 

Despite challenging economic conditions and increased local demand, the charity remained operationally stable and effective in delivering both its church-based and community-facing activities. 

## Public Benefit 

The trustees confirm that the charity’s activities provide public benefit in accordance with Charity Commission guidance. Through worship, teaching, and pastoral care, the charity promotes spiritual wellbeing, moral development, and social responsibility. Through community outreach—particularly the operation of Basildon Foodbank—the charity relieves hardship, prevents hunger, and supports individuals and families experiencing financial difficulty. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The charity’s income is derived primarily from voluntary giving, supplemented by restricted and project-based funding linked to community outreach activities. Expenditure during the year supported ministry delivery, premises costs, staffing, and charitable projects. 

The trustees are satisfied that the charity has managed its resources responsibly and operated within its financial means during the year. 

## Reserves Policy 

The trustees seek to maintain an appropriate level of reserves to ensure the ongoing stability of the charity and to manage financial risk. Reserves are kept under regular review, taking into account operational commitments, future plans, and external economic factors.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties 

The trustees have identified the main risks facing the charity as: 

. Financial sustainability in a challenging economic climate 

. Pressure on premises capacity due to organisational growth . Ongoing reliance on volunteers for key activities 

These risks are mitigated through prudent financial oversight, strategic planning, safeguarding and governance controls, and investment in leadership and volunteer development. 

## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS** 

In the coming year, the trustees intend to: 

. Consolidate recent growth across church and community activities 

. Continue developing Basildon Foodbank and associated support services 

. Explore long-term premises solutions 

. Strengthen financial sustainability and governance arrangements 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

RCCG Majesty Connections is a Christian charitable organisation operating as a local parish within the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG). The charity is governed by a Board of Trustees who are responsible for setting strategic direction, ensuring compliance with charity law, safeguarding charitable assets, and overseeing financial stewardship. 

Trustees meet regularly and are supported by ministry leaders, staff, and volunteers who deliver the charity’s activities. Policies relating to safeguarding, finance, risk management, and governance are reviewed periodically to ensure good practice and compliance. 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the church is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the church, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The above report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime as set out in Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

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 financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act.

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Church Equipment 25% Straight Line Motor Vehicle 25% Straight Line Furniture and Office 25% Straight Line Equipment

## **Stocks** 

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

Page 11 



**RCCG Majesty Connections Notes to the Accounts**

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts.

Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.

## **Foreign currencies** 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred. 

All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure. 

## **Leased assets** 

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease. 

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases. 

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets. 

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis. 

## **Pension costs** 

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.
