Practice applicable to charities preparing Iheir accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting
Slandard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 1021 (effective 1 January 20191.
Objects of the charity
The objective for which this charity has been established is the advancement of the Christian
religion. This is achieved primarily by providing church services, pastoral care and other related
activities for German-speakers who are Protestant Christians or are interested in exploring the
Christian faith within a Protestant context.
The charity is organised as a Church. It comprises 5 congregations. These are based in
Cambridge. NoTwiGh, Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and in Essex. The Church is enthusiastically and
very ably Se￿ed by 8 theologically-lrained, full-lime Pastor, Kerstin Othmer- frequently in
cooperation with dedicated volunteers from the Church who assist with their skills, talents, spiritual
input, insight and local knowledge.
Public benefit
The Trustees have taken into awounl the Charity Commlssion's guidance on public benefit and
a150 relating to charities that promote religion. The Church sets out to help individuals to explore.
practise and express their faith through the Church's work and activities.
Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements
To further the above objects and vision, the charity's main activities and achievements were as
follows..
The Trustees are pleased to report that, during the year 2025. our Church's a¢tlvities have
engaged with a wide range of people and enabled them to discover and to grow in Ihe Christian
faith and lo experience and share in Chrlslian fellowship.
The members of each congregation highly value belonging lo a German-speaking Christian church
community. They also appreciate being a base from which to reach out and care for the spiritual
and emotional wellbeing of their fellow members. guests and visitors - and lo their local ecumenic81
contacts.
The congregations have regular in-person church services and bible studies. Furthermore, the
Pastor also undertakes many individual pastoral home vislts which are increasingly necessitated
by the advancing age and decreasing mobility of 8 number of the church members, particularly in
the Essex congregation. The Norwich congregation has seen a very encouraging growth in
numbers. activity and commitment.
The mainstay of the Church's ministry takes place in person. but the church members and guests
from further afield also significantly value the weekly devotional times taking place online during
Lent. Advent, and at other key seasons of the Church Year.
The Church continues lo issue an informative Newsleller three limes a year al by e-mail, bl 80 are
sent by post and cl it can also be found on the Church's website Iwww.cambridge.german-

Page 15
church.orgll. Pastor Othmer complements this by also sending out a monthly e-mail containing
Christian words of encouragemenl and information on relevant Church events coming up. The
Church's website has proven to be rather useful in signposting the existen￿ of our church to
German-speaking newcomers in East Anglia.
Additionally to the above listed forms of activities, there has also been further engagement with
people at other events taking place during the year. A description of some of these can be found in
the Next section of this report.
Activities and events in 2025 - for and by all generations
In May, the EKD (Proleslanl Church in Germ8ny} held a 4-day conference in East Anglia
for the pastors land their families) working in Christian ministry amongst German-speakillg
congregations in North, Wesl and Eastern European countries. On 31 May our Church
welcomed about 40 conference delegates and their families in Cambridge. providing much
appreciated hospitality and friendly, interesled fellowship with many members of our
Chur¢h'$ community.
We celebrated a Church Summer Fete {Sommerfest} in July.
We held a BBQ at the end of the school summer holidays. After a long summer break, it
provided a good opportunity for the members lo welcome new people.
At the end of the Church Year, we gathered for our annual community event of binding
traditional Advent wreaths. The following week we held an Advent Bazar in the Cambridge
Church House and garden combined with craft activities for children and young people lo
mark the start of Advent. Attendance at these events was unfortLJnately lower thall in
previous years. We envisage some creative change lo the formal of Ihese activities in
2026.
We continued our journey with the "ECO church. initiative. wanting to demonstrate that the
gospel is good news for God's earth.
The spacious rear garden at the Church House in Cambridge proves lo be considerably
useful, by not only being 8 much-8ppreci8ted space utilised for outdoor church activities,
but also for providing a space that links us to local community groups, for example, to
enable regular use by a nearby Montessori nursery group.
Chlldren's and young people's church work
In parallel lo many of the services held in Cambridge there is"Kindergottesdienst°
(children's church), facilitated by a committed and well-prepared team of volunteers who
are guided and supported by Pastor Othmer.
It has been a privilege and joy to welcome young people into the Church House for several
weekend sessions and lo excursions further afield - as part of their preparation for their
Confirmation in 2026. A particular highlight was a week-long residential Confirmation
Camp in July with 26 young people, held on the premises of the Cambridge Church House
an event jointly led by 4 Pastors from German-speaking Protestant Churches in Great
Britain and 3 volunteers from our church.
Our annual St Martin's Day event in November was fully booked out. It is popular with local
and un¢hur¢hed German-speaking families with young children.

Internship I Praetlce Placement
Our church continues to attract young German adults committing lo assist and explore church life
and work within our congregations. In 2025 the Church Council was grateful for two such guests.
Paslorin Kerstin Othmer provided valuable practical and theological guidan￿ and professional
development for them.
Activities across Great Britain In 2025
This Church is a member of'the Synod of German-Spe8king Lutheran, Reformed and United
Congregations in Great Britain" referred lo as "The Synod" under which the German-speaking
Proleslanl congregations (such as our Church) are united in Great Britain. There is mutual
organisalional assistan￿ and theological co-operation between our Church and the Synod.
Amongst others, this has grown into a number of notable activities by our Church for the benefit of
others across Great Britain..
Through her untiring commitment to theological education for children and young people
and training for lay readers, Pastor Kerslin Olhmer contributes and leads on a number of
n81ional aclivlties. Following commission by the Synod, she leads, guides and implements
face-lo-face and online educalionllraining days and weekend courses.- 81 for lay readers
IPradikantenlPradikantinnenl from across Great Brllain, including a residential weekend
training in September for which the church base in Cambridge provided the location,
facilities and hospitality., b) for people engaged in conducting Children's Churoh in their
respective congregations.
Paslorin Othmer engages collaboratively with her colleagues from the Synod on theological
projects, one such example is the Confirmation Camp described above.
Equalty, she is ecumenically active by participating in and supporting a local Christian
Network.
During 2025 Pastor Kerstin Olhmer and Mrs Hildegard O'Kane from the Cambridge
congregation have been exemplary and invaluable Trustees of the Synod's Council of

Flnanclal Review
General
The Church was able to further improve ils financial position in 2025. thanks mainly to very
generous contributions, donations and legacies.
During the year. while income decreased from £133.621 in 2024 to £126,267 in 2025, expenditure
decreased from £102,869 to £100,418 in 2025. As a resutt, the surplus for the year wag £25,849.
The charity's nel assets increased to £600,750.
The Trustees gratefully acknowledge the annual Church member contributions. colle¢tions, general
donations, donations for specific church needs and legacies. In total, they contributed £57.732
12024.. £66,152). Gift Aid claimed for 2025 brought an additional £12,74112024- £8,598}. Total
investment income brought a return of £20,64412024'. £19,776).
The Pastor's Discretionary Fund is available for the PaslorlPaslorin to give financial help in
individual cases of any hardship. During 2025, £100 has been spent so the balance left as of 31sl
December 2025 is £55.
Based on a wide range of Church activities, including activities to support preparation teaching for
confimialion, children's activities and hosting visi(ors as well as interns from Germany, the Church
applied for 8 sh8re of the grant the Synod received in 2025 from the Schroders 1905 Trust
(formerly Kaiser Wilhelm11 Fund). We gratefully acknowledge the receipt of £5,803 from this Trusl.
Despite the currently positive and consolidated financial situation, the Trustees are aware of the
longer-lerm financial challenges, relating to likely increases in costs for the pastor. maintenance of
the building and also the risk of loss of current income. In 2025, Trustees continued to consider the
longer-lerm sustainability of the Church. including the future of the Church House. The Trustees
also explored avenues for nationwide and regional colbaboration and links with other member
churches of the Synod.
Restricted Endowment
This fund is part ofthe Asset TransferAgreement which became effective on 31 May 2013, when
the former churches, each one a separate charity, merged lo become one church and one
single charity. The value of the fund is shown In a separate Endowment Fund column, and can be
used for the purposes described in the Letters Patent of Charles11, dated 13 September 1672,
namely that the Fund's income can be spent in accordance with the Church'g general ¢harilable
purposes. but the Fund's capitsl should be invested to generate income. and after Gareful
consideration by the Truslees, the capital should only ever be spent on projects that involve the

construclion, maintenance or improvement of buildings used by the Gemian-spe8king Lutheran
Church for purposes which fall within the trusts set out in the Letters Patent.
During 2025 there were no withdrawals from the Restricted Endowmgnt Fund.
Investment Policy
Part of the income of the Charity is derived from its investments. The investment manager's
objective is to maximise lot81 relurn with due regard for risk, with an ethical and responsible
investment portfolio and lo report regularly via the Treasurer to the Trustees. The Trustees remain
committed to a long-lerm investment policy aiming to protect the re81 capital value whilst
generating a sustainable level of income lo fund current expenditure.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees are aware of the general legal duty to apply charitable funds within a re880nable lime
of receivlng them. The Charity aims to hold a reseNe equivalent to approximately 12 months
operating capital, not taking into account optional spending items and major building repairs. On
that basis, the Trustees agreed that the total unrestricted ￿serveS should be al least £90.000. In
addition. the Restricted Endowment provides a reserve for potential major building repairs.
The total Reserves freely available for distribution held as al 31 December 2025 was £201,943,
consisting of £135,928 in freely available funds and £66,015 in designated fund. The amount
hence more than covers the required level of Reserve.

reliability.
