TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
Church Leadership Team (CLT): This team is Paul Abell, Jon & Stacey Begin, Alex Brien, Dan & Gem Abell and Michelle Grant. Paul leads this team. This team is responsible for day-to-day planning and running, and practically taking work forward. They meet every two weeks, considering the weekly and daily practicalities of the church/charity, including for events. Over time the CLT is doing more of what previously would have been done by the SLT. Paul and Michelle are part of this team for practical day-to-day working. The remaining five members of the team can also be described as deacons.
Staff Team (ST): Here this refers to staff are paid to work by the Trust. We also have excellent volunteer staff as well! Our paid staff are Paul Abell, Kate Abell, Hannah Barron, Alex Brien, Michelle Grant, Kiri Sayo and Juliette Korner who have joined the part-time Hub team.
Sunday Mornings and Church Life
Sunday mornings at the Summit follow this format:
10.00 Café Church - It is a time to gather around the Café tables, spread throughout the main hall, meet people, chat and pray. We began serving food in Café church in July 2024, which over time has become increasingly popular.
At 11.00 we go live for the rest of the morning on the YouTube channel, Light2North.
11.00-11.15 Family Church – This is a family session for 15 minutes that is aimed at the whole family. This could be worship, drama, games, a message etc. Gemma Abell coordinates this time, but different people lead it. At 11.15 there are notices, the offering and a short break. Family Church has worked very well in enabling the children to be and feel part of the church – rather than waiting for their own meetings
11.20 The Gathering – at this point the children (J24/:7, ages 3-11) leave for their own group. Monthly, older children (Ignite, age 11/12+) have a separate group led by Sue Jones. The Gathering is normally worship and word, with ministry. The proportions of each varies. We aim to finish between 12.30 and 12.45, but J24/:7 finishes at 12.30, the children return to the main hall which encourages the wrapping up!
We celebrated eleven baptisms, during August 2025.
House Church
House churches are part of the growth and development of the church going forward. We hope to see these flourish as missional groups and become increasingly valuable and essential in seeing people grow in discipleship and friendship. House Church get togethers are a great way for new people to become involved and feel part of something. For prayer, we want there to be an emphasis on prayer taking place in smaller groups, including House Churches. Donna Wadsworth and Steve Woollacott are leading a successful group in Hunmanby, who hire local premises to meet. The other House Churches are led by David & Joanne Baker, Davis & Eliana King, Jonathan & Stacey Begin

Conferences
Deeper 2024 gathered the people together for an important community time – good for faith development and mental health.
THIS25 was a spiritually significant time with visitors also attending from around the nations.
We continued to host East Coast Prayer, which has become known as Join the Dots since June 2023. This gathered many people together from across the churches and there was a significance presence of the Lord experienced. The Leaders’ meetings have continued at the Summit monthly.
Community Partnership
We have continued to be in connection with our local partners. We work in partnership with Safer Communities, North Yorkshire Council, Churches Together in Scarborough, the YMCA, the Rainbow Centre, and the North Yorkshire Police, including the Police and Crime Commissioner.
Local groups who have used or are currently using the Summit:

Christmas
Christmas 2024 saw a well-attended Nativity service and a Christingle service, both on Sunday mornings. Many local people of Scarborough come to these events and look forward to them. We saw the return of a Saturday evening event with a joint event organized by Davis & Eliana King – an evening of brilliant music.
Online Activity and Printed Materials
The Prayer Room, now known as Summit Prayer 6:18 has a very active WhatsApp group with Brian and Shona Ward taking the lead. Light2North (YouTube) hosts the Sunday morning livestream, with Brian and Shona as online pastors. Other videos (not live) are also added from time to time. Some of The Way of the Spirit Studies and other Bible studies happen online as well as face to face. Printed materials available in the Summit have continued to be kept up to date.
Support Groups
Community Support groups are operating at the Summit. This is Youth Angels and Community Angels who organise groups at the Summit. Little Builders meets Tuesday mornings. (We have several community groups also using the building, such as Young Carers and Adult Carers. Cavern Club runs on a Friday. We support local refuges with Conversational English sessions run by Laura Cooper.

The Hub, Community Angels & Pastoral Care
There has been a lot of overlap in these activities and keeping in contact with CA people has been overseen by our Church Pastor Michelle Grant. Community Angels no longer has any funding, but Michelle has continued to keep the ministry running as possible. The Summit itself has become closely involved with CA work, with more people meeting up at the building and using the Hub. The Hub Café is a vital part of CA, with many local people feeling supported at the Summit. The Creche is popular with young parents and the building itself is a useful Warm Space for the local community. Costs continue to grow of course, but the menus continue to be revised and changed with great success. The Sum Up POS has been very successful. We have also added a second machine that is self-operated and this is used for donations. Especially at Events and Sunday mornings, but it is visible and easy to use at all times the Summit is open
The Hub continues to flourish and much credit is due to Michelle Grant leading this, along with the excellent staff. Hannah Barron leads confidently. Kiri and Juliette have brought new and refreshing ideas to the team. The Lift broke down in July and this has affected the Hub considerably in July and August.
Street Angels and Safe Haven
Street Angels patrol streets. Currently the Safe Haven is run by the Street Angels and is available Saturday night. As needed Currently we do not have the (paid) staff to run the Safe Haven. Funding for this initiative comes from the North Yorkshire Police and Fire Commissioner. Alex Brien is the Street Angels Coordinator but Tony Wood deputises for him regularly. We continue to recruit new people.
Youth Angels
Youth Angels endured a period of no external funding, apart from a relatively small, designated gift. It met on Friday evenings – with a strong focus on young people with special needs – especially with fear and anxiety. This is not inclusive to these people open, but this has been determined by the young people themselves. However, Kay Wilkinson, the YAC, moved to Cornwall in August 2024 and without external grant funding this phase of Youth Angels could not continue. We have focussed on a smaller group of youth for the current season.
BA (Hons) Theology and Mission
Our partnership with ForMission College for this degree course, validated by Newman University continues. Our current student is completing his third year, based in Scarborough for his work-based learning. Therefore, to enable the student to have contact with other students we are working with the ForMission Online Campus. We have generated new interest through Springtide, but we continue to pray for students! We have a new student starting in September 2025.

The Summit
The Summit offerings have been detailed elsewhere in this report.
Finance
John Smith competently and voluntarily handles the Charity Finances. John oversaw the introduction of ‘Tap & Give’, which has proved very useful.
Financial review
There are a number of principal sources of church funding:
a) Church and conference offerings. These are freewill offerings given by members of the church and the general public.
b) The chargeable use of the Summit for conferences, events, outside groups and the Hub, the church coffee lounge.
c) Grant income. This enables the operation of community-based projects such as Street Angels with Safe Haven and Community Angels. It should be noted that grant income is often received as a large lump sum and may not all be expended in the year of receipt.
The financial year showed an income of £215,649 (2024: £162,713), a increase of 22% on general funds over the previous year. The overall expenditure was £207,112 (2024: £207,660), simliar to the previous year. The sueplus was added to funds brought forward, with general funds being £12,643 and restricted funds £24,446
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Structure, governance and management
Nature of governing document
The charity was registered as a charitable trust with the Charity Commission on 20 August 2009 having been established by Trust Deed on 8 August 2009.
Recruitment and appointment of Trustees
The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed.
Induction and training of trustees
The conditions for trustee appointments onto the trust are clearly laid out in within the Charitable Trust Deed of Kingdom Faith Yorkshire Trust.

KINGDOM FAITH YORKSHIRE TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
Organisational structure
Responsibility for the day to day management of the charity rests with the spiritual leadership, who delegate individual responsibility to departmental directors. The spiritual leadership works in conjunction with the trustees, who hold three to four trustee meetings per year to review the operation of the charity and to make higher level operational and policy decisions.
Risk management
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

KINGDOM FAITH YORKSHIRE TRUST TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
Statement of Responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the constitution. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
