(b} Objectives and Activities The principal purpose of the Charity is the advancement of the Christian faith according to the principles of the Bapb"st denominab'on. The Church may also advance Christian education and carry out other charitable purposes in the United Kingdom and other parts of the wodd. The Church occupies premises Ihat are held by the West of England Baptist Trust Company Limited and the Bapts'st Union Corporation Limited. in trusts which are entt.rely compatible wth the above objectives. In order to achieve the charitable objectives which are set out above. the Church provides a variety of activities both to its Membership and to the ccKnmunty generally. The Trustees of the Church have ￿nSIdered and have regard to Ihe Charibes Commission guidance on public benefit. The principal activities of the chU￿h may indude. but are not restricted to: Regular public worship. prayer. Bible study, preaching and teaching,. Baptism, as defined in the Baptist Union's Dedaration of Principle; The communion of the Lord's Supper. which is normally observed at least once a month., Evangelism and mission, locally, regionally, nationally and intemationally- The teaching. encouragemenc welcome and inclusion of young people., Nurture and growth of Christian disciples: Education and training for chrisb.an and community service. Giving and encouraging pastoral care: Supporting and encouraging charitable social action in the United ￿ngdorn and abroad; Encouraging relationships with and supporting Baptist and other Christian communities. To undertake activities as a means of athiewn9 the charitable objeth'ves, the Church works on its own, or with other Churches or groups. The aim is to show the love of Jesus Christ in both word and deed,. to bring people into a closer relationship Him as living Lord" to support and encourage charitable social action", and to encourage relationships with other Christians. The most significant events in church life in 2024 were the loss of our minister, Rev. Simon Govier, who moved to a church in South Wales in June 2024 and the death of six members of our church and Gongregation at times throughout the year. These people were an important part of our church family, are sorely missed and the church is sb"Il grieving their loss. sin￿ the church has been without a minister there has been some cut back in acb'vities but the Leadership Team. assisted by many of our members, has ensured that the life of the church has continued as smoothly as possible. We have been greauy assisted in this by the appointrnent of Rev Alisdair Longwill as moderator. Various members have taken on new or additional responsibilities. including the Preaching Team who have enabled the continuation of Sunday services. We have been pleased to see some new people in our congregation during this time.

We have begun to think and pray about what ftrture ministry at USBC might look like and are aware that it could be some time before a new minister is appointed. We are also aware that, due to financial constraints, as it stands, this is only likely to be a part-ts.me appointrnent In the meantime, we are confident that God wll continue to bless us and His work in Upper Stratton. Central to the work and ministy of the Church is the provision of regular public services of Christian wotship. These services take pla￿ on each Sunday moming and i)ccasionally on Sunday evening. There are also occasional services at other times which are atherhsed within the Church and its website at www.usbc org.uk. Services of a special nature are advertised more widely in Upper Stratton and Swindon. There is a full prcNJramme for children and young people during the 10.30am Se￿1￿ on Sundays. Each seNice has its own style to suit the differing preferences of the Church and communty. The Church seeks to be a friendly and welcoming community, and anybody is free to attend any of these gatherings. The servI￿S were also available on Zoom during the whole of the year for people to safely view and engage with. It has been successfvl and inclusive. wth good numbers of people 'attending' these services including some who are either new to the Church or have not been able to physically attend worship at USBC for a number of years. Through the frJrth8r use of Zoom, the Church was also able to organise gatherings on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday moming to provide opportunib.es to meet. rèflect and pray together on issues facing the Church, our Members. our local community and our world. Wtth biblical reflection at the heart of each meeting. these gatherings were regularly attended and have become important in the life of the Church family. We also operated an emaivtelephone prayer chain through which Members could request prayer when needed, which connected well vitth these gatherings. Simply Social Coff￿ moming - a midweek group providing a fellowship opportunty for anyone in our local communty - afforded a means of encouragement and support for those able to attend, particularly those more senior in years. There w7s a pleasing overall increase in regular attendan￿. The Church runs a sertes of small groups and prayer meetings for friendship. the growth of faith, pastoral care and relationship wÉth the local community. During 2024 there were four such groups, comprising some sixty people meeting online and in various homes each week (or every other week) within the catchment a￿a of the Church. The Bible study element of these groups follows the Sunday service or independent teaching arranged by the groups. Al who considerthemselves part of the Church are encouraged to integrate into the life of a small group. A significant amount of time and effort has been given by the small group leaders in maintaining contsct with those people in their groups and nurturing their spiritualty. Some of the members met together, along Wtth anybody else in the Church family that wanted to come, at the Church 'Away Day, in October at the Hamhill Centre of Christian Healing. The day was led by Rev Ajisdair Longwill to help us in the early stages of our quest for a new minister. We explored what type of church we are. ￿at type of church God wants us to be and what type of person would lead this type of thurch. The Church is privileged to have contact children and young people through various outreach and teaching opportunities with the local schools {partycularly at Easter and Christmas), ministry opportunities to the families in the ¥￿der community, and with those families that worship at USBC on a regular basis. Groups for children arKI yourrfJ people are run during our Sunday services. tsilored to the speafic needs of eath age group, which are called ￿"dz0ne. Make Lunch. which seeks to bring hope to struggling children and their families through a holiday lunch club, continued to impact the community by helping to address the problems of holiday hunger. Each session provided free, hot and healthy meals to local families, gave support to some of the mt)st vUl￿rable children in our community and. in addition. buitt relationships with thcJSÈ in

need of the loving care of the Church family. This was athieved despite the member who initiated and inspired make Lunch moving away and the transition to a new leadership team. Thank you to everyone involved and well done! We also held our annual week-long holiday club called 'Summershine' at the beginning of the summer school holidays. The theme of the event was 'Breaker Rock Beach, and the holiday club was helped by a mission team from a Church in Wilh the support of the local schools and community we were greayy blessed. Duriro the course of the week we engaged with many children (and their families) - many of whom were new to the Church and some of which have since attended our other family based activib'es e.g. Make Lund). As part of our continued efforts to reach out to the local community. in the wèek leading up to Easter, USBC in partnership wÈth other local Churches ran a 'Pop-Up' Café next to the local shops and library. This was done with the purpose of promots'ng the real meaning of Easter amongst the people of Upper Stratton. Each passer-by was offered a free hot drink and a hot cross bun, explaining the importance of Easter. Free literature was available to take away and a listening ear provided to anyone vtho warrted to chat Invitations to our Church gatherings were provided along with prayer requests, which were responded to by some people. The event was repeated at Christmas, offering Min￿ pies with similar success in seeking to share Yhe reason for the season.. We also enjoyed joint services wtih the other local Churches at Easter and Christmas, which were ¢onsidered spirÉtually uplifting by th¢)se in attendance. We remain gratefijl to everyone involved. The Church supports the wider work of the Baptist denomination through our membership of the Baptist Union of Great Britain. the West of England Baptist Association (trading as Webnet). and through our financial contribution to the Partnership in Mission scheme. We also support BMS World Mission finanaally and offer other support to our link missionaries. Paul and Sarah Brown in Thailand_ The Church has close connections wtth several local and national charities including The Filling ststion, a local Charity that provides food and prowsions to those in need on the streets of Swindon" Samaritan's Purse, which distributes Christmas gifts to needy children in deprived areas of the world via the Shoebox scheme" and Compassion UK, vthi¢h administers our financial provision for a Sponsored Child in MexiGo. An oveNew of donations made in 2024 is in the financial statements. The Church expresses its part in the wider Christian community by making grants to national and intemational Christian organisations and societies YAth aims and objectives compatible with the Church's own charitable purpose. The Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidan￿ on public benefit in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake. The Trustees consider that they have acted in the public benefiL (cl Achievements and Perforniance The Church does not only measure the success of its programmes in numbers, induding financial numbers. but also in less tangible areas like fellowship. support and encouragement. The Trustees recognise that these are difficult to measure but believe that 2024 was a good year in the life of the church, especially in that we Y￿re able to impact and make a positive difference to so many people's lives through our activities in the communty. This was despite the loss of our minister and several members of the church arKI congregation. At 31st December 2024 the membership roll stood at 89, which was a net loss of over 4 over the year. A review of the membership list is currendy being undertaken. The numbers worshipping at USBC were similar to those in 2023. That said, there has been a good measure of spiritual fomiation and gro%th in diseipleship across the Church family.

The small groups in the Church play an important part in the life of the Church community. The leadership team has encouraged the leaders of these groups who have become increasingly important in the pastoral ministy of the Churth. Leaders of pastoral ministries meet regularly, under the influence of the Head of Ministry for pastoral care, to ensure we are serving and caring for everyone in the Church. The mainstays of our pastoral care continue to be the pastoral care team, small groups and interpersonal relab'onships. (d) Financial Review In accordance with the ConstibJtion an annual budget is compiled for both income and expenditure and approved by members in November of the preceding year. The Church raises the bulk of the fvnds needed for it to carry on its activities from within its own membership and congregation. together wth grants obtained for specific projects or activities from time to time. Income is also raised from hiring out rooms on our premises. During 2024 the average weekly offering v￿S just under £800, reflecting a downward trend of recent years. However, when the donations made at our annual Gift Day together viith the tax reclaim from HMRC in respect of Gift ￿ded donations made during 2023 are taken into account, the overall weekly average increases to a very creditable £1100. This continues to exemplrfy the ongoing generosity and sustsined financial commitment demonstrated by members and attenders of USBC which, together wth the fact that offerings are predominantly given either by means of stsnding order or via the weekly offering envelope scheme, contrtbutes significandy to the Church's financial stabilty and resilience. Our two main areas of General Fund expenditure during 2024 arose firstly from staffing costs (the stipend and expenses ftir our minister), and secondly from the running costs of the church site, notably utilities, Insuran￿ and cleaning. Having previously recognised that we were no longer in a position to support the stipend for a full-time minister. the Members had taken the difficult and painful decision to reduce the minister's hours- and hence his stipend - by SWO Wth effect from January 2023. We were grate￿1 for the fact that our minister. Revd Govier. was willing to conts'nue with us on this basis. despite the obvious and inevitable impact on his personal financial circumstances. However, mid-way through 2024 Revd Govier left USBC to tske up a position as minister at a thurch in south Wales, and Sin￿ we no longer have a paid administrator USBC'S staffing costs for the seGond half of the year were consequently quite minimal. The largest single item of capital expenditure in 2024 was incurred by the paving of the frontage at the Manse, replaang an area of grass and concrete which was in a poor state and which had become quite unsightly. The cost of this work amounted to just under £8000 and was predominantly met from the proceeds of our annual Grft Day. The Church makes donab'ons to local, national and intemational organisations and charities with Christian aims and objectives compatible the Church's own charitable purpose. Through these donations the Church expresses tts commitrnent and supwrt for organisations such as BMS and Home Mission as VRII as locally based charities which have a Christian ethos. Individuals within the Church also support a wide varTety of charrtable causes with Dersonal financial donations as listed in Ihe notes to the accounts. The Church is heavily dependent on rts membership working as volunteers in all aspects of its act5Vities. many of vthich run with little or no impact on the Church's expenditure but nevertheless contribute substantially to the achievement of its objectives. There were no significant 'gifts in kind,, although some members cover minor costs petsonally. No payments were made to Trustees for goods or services. other than for the reimbutsement of expenses properly incurred on bahalf of the Church. The Church has a Reserves Policy intended to ensure that there are sufficient funds to meet its anticipated general running costs for six months. Money is also set aside to finance specific projects and fLtture strategic development. as agreed by members. and this is held in the Memorial

Fund. The Church is supported by a steady stream of income from the congregation, much of it by standing order, whilst together wlh its significant resetves the Church's financial position is such that the Trustees do not view finan￿al funding in the short-t¢Fmedium temi as a significant risk. The Trustees have noted the year*nd Genera5 Fund (Unrestricted) balance of £89.278 representing an increase of more than £15,000 compared with 2023. After assessing this against the level of potential commÉtments for 2025 and beyond. they have concluded this is not excessive. The Trustees have made an assessment of the major risks facing the Church, and are satisfied that there are policies and Insuran￿ in place to mitigate these risks. These policies include intemal finanrial controls with advance approval thresholds set at Treasurer and Trustee levels; items Costing in exce&% of £5C(J (other than where already included in the budget) require Members, approval. The financial results for the year. together a summary of the accounting poli(aes adopted, are set out in the accompanying Financial Statement. Fundraisin standards Infomiation The Charity does not employ a professional fundraiserlcommercial participator. The Charity or any person aGliThJ on behalf of the Charity was not subject to an undertaking to be bound by any voluntary scheme for regulating fundraising, or voluntary standard for fundraising in respect of activib'es on behalf of the Charity. We did not directly monitor activities carried on by any person on behalf of the Charity for the purpose of fundraising. No complaints were received by the Charity or a person acting on its behalf about activities by the Charity or by a person on behalf of the Charity for the purpose of fundraising. We do not actively fundraise outside of our Church building, although we do from time to time apply for and have teen suc￿sSful in obtsining grants to support specific ¢haritsble activities undertaken by the Church. It is stressed that offering5 at each service are to be on a purely voluntary basis and are primarily directed at members and regular attendees. {e) Future Plans for 2025 We should be able to purs￿ our mission and vision purposes in 2025 wrth faith and enthusiasm, in particular.
