and people are offered support. Our Minister regularly visits members and friends of the congregation,
especially those who are in hospital or experiencing times of particular need. We are also blessed wth many
supportive friendships and informal netrorks 2cross the congregation.
There are several weekly groups which the Church norm811y organizes. These include Tea and Chal, a drop
in for anyone on 2 Tuesday afternoon, and Friday moming coffee. which is also open to anyone. AJI of these

We have continued lo maintain the excellent facilities we provide lo the community groups who use our
facilities. Building a relationship wlh user groups is part of our care for people and the local community. As
part of reflecting on our Church's life 2nd work, we deliberately invited all our users lo tell us how they found
our facilities and this has provided an affimiation of the quality of our buildings and hospitality, but also helped
lo identify areas we can develop.
We continued to develop our connections with the annual 'Henleaze Christmas Festival,. This year again
many Church members continued lo help to provide a wide range of craft aclivilies, pr8yer spaces and
opportunities for reflection 81ongside the festival evening. We shared with Sl Peters Parish Church in

attending all our Christmas acts of worship.

about the life of the Church and the opportunities our buildings offer to the local community. We continue lo

We use YouTube lo ensure that our worship services are svailable both as a live stream and recorded for
anyone to access. We are using over 90 A1 full Colour posters as our wayside pulpit, which were creat
with the support of a South Westem Synod grant. These are now being rotated on our external display
boards communicating something of our life and fatth with the local community-

outreach worker and we hope lo see this idea come lo fruition in 2026.

Public Benefit
The Trustees have complied with their legal duly lo have due regard to public benefit guidance published by
the Charity Commission.
Financial Review
The Trinity-Henleaze URC Reserves Policy is described below. taking into account the security of our two
main income streams.. regular giving and lettings.
Regular Giving
We have alarge number of church members who support the life and work of our church vi8 either weekly,
monthly or annual standing orders and on&off donations. This is an invaluable and predictable income stream
and therefore is accounted for in our calculations. In respon* to the dear information we shared with the
congregation, regular giving has been sustained al a higher level through 2025, for which we give thanks.
Lettings
Our lettings income is derived from a large number of varied user groups across our buildings. This has
been a reliable stream and therefore is accounted for in our calculations. 2025 continued lo see lettings income
recovering towards pre-pandemic leve5s.
Income from Legacies 2nd Grants
During the year 2025, the Church received legacies totalling £5,000 from the eststes of former members and
friends. We re￿iVed grants totalling £4,999 from the South Western Synod of the United Refomied Church
(URCI.
Expenditufrp on Bulldings and Rep8irs
In 2025, £15,938 was spent on buildings maintenance 2nd repairs. This included £5,000 on essential
remedial work on the fixed wiring and electrical systems on our premises.
Capital Expenditure on Filtures, Fittings & Equipment
No expenditure was capitslised during the year.
Reserves
Our total annual expenditure amounted to £157,249. Al the year-end date, free reserves amounted to
£175,245 reprèsented by nel current assets of £201,670, less reslricled and designated funds of £26,425.
This is in excess of the reserves policy. The Trustees acknowledge that excess funds are being held by the
charity. The Trustees are mindful that this excess represents a rebuilding of our ￿SeNeS in accordance with
the reserves policy. Further, this allows us lo allocate an ongoing Maintenance budget for preventstive
maintenance lo look after the buildings lo a high standard. Under our Forging the Future reflections, the
Trustees have identified significant expenditure in collaboration with the South Weslem Synod, subject lo
decisions to be tsken in 2026.
The Trustees continue to consider that an appropriate and prudent policy should be that reserves, as
represented by nel current assets, be maintained at £70,000.
Transferof Responsibility for Manse
The Mareh Church Meeting agreed lo transfer responsibility for the upkeep of the manse to the South
Weslem Synod, under the terms of their new Synod Manse Policy.
A percentsge of the v81ue of the manse has been invested by the South Weslem Synod and Trinity-
Henleaze URC will benefit financially from this investment.

amount ol the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruaL% basis,
inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered.
The majorrty of costs are directly attributable to the specific charitable activities. The support costs
have been apportioned lo the activities of the Charity on the basis of usage ol resources, this is
thought to represent a reasonable representation ol the level of support required lor each activity.
