Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements

to vulnerable women. The charity's main activities and achievements are outlined below.
In planning the activities, the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.

One Church Housing
This year, we have focused on developing strong relationships with key contacts throughout Gloucestershire to establish a reliable referral network. As a result, we have been able to keep all three rooms consistently occupied, reducing downtime and ensuring that individuals in need have prompt access to safe, supportive housing.
In 2024, we welcomed four residents into the house—each bringing unique success stories as well as challenges that required additional support and rehabilitation. For example, one resident pursued further education at Mattersey Hall, Green Pastures, enhancing her skills in Health & Social Care and Theology. Her progress highlights how our project can serve as a catalyst for personal transformation and community uplift.
Naturally, challenges arose this year. Some residents experienced interpersonal tensions and complex mental health needs, which occasionally strained relationships within the house. Although our Housing Manager does not live on the premises, we put robust support measures in place to ensure everyone felt heard, valued, and safe. This proactive approach not only helped resolve conflicts but also built a more resilient, mutually supportive community.
Team nights have been invaluable for our dedicated volunteers, offering an opportunity to share insights, provide advice, and serve as a consistent support system for one another. An experienced volunteer has been playing a pivotal role, assisting with challenging resident meetings, conducting interviews for future residents, and leading our monthly team gatherings. This collaboration reinforces our commitment to long-term development and service excellence.
The Maintenance Team has also made a significant impact throughout 2024, dedicating their time and skills to a range of tasks—from repairing door handles, weeding the front driveway, to facilitating access to the attic. Their hands-on contributions have not only reduced operational costs but have also fostered a strong sense of community pride and cooperation.
In total, we housed four residents and fielded five inquiries this year. The stability of our tenancy, with minimal turnover, is a clear indicator of the trust and confidence our residents have in the support we provide.
Challenges and Opportunities for Growth
- Limited Funding and Reliance on Volunteers: Our income, principally from housing benefits, allows us to employ only a few staff members, making volunteer support essential. Residents often face complex challenges during house meetings—including mental health, financial difficulties, and recovery issues. While these situations can be demanding, they also present an opportunity to further expand our volunteer base and enrich our support services, ultimately enhancing our positive impact on the community.
Balancing Eligibility and Evolving Needs: Our model requires residents to meet a high threshold of need for ESA housing benefit (such as probation, recent addiction, domestic abuse, or homelessness), yet also necessitates a degree of semi-independence so that support can be managed through several weekly contact points. As residents feel safer and begin to process past traumas, they sometimes develop additional needs beyond our current capacity. Addressing these evolving requirements— finding more suitable accommodation or facilitating a transition to independent living—remains a challenge, underscoring the need for innovative housing solutions and stronger community partnerships.
- Developing a Structured ‘Move On’ Process: We are exploring options with the Council to create a formal ‘Move On’ process. Integrating our house into the Council’s Homeseekers system would ensure that our residents receive equal opportunities to progress through
Page 3
housing pathways, aligning our support with broader community services. This initiative promises to enhance fairness and provide a smoother transition for residents as they work towards greater independence.
This comprehensive effort not only strengthens our housing project but also enriches the local community by providing a safe, supportive environment where residents can overcome personal challenges and contribute positively to society.

its future. We are seeking guidance from external providers and Green Pastures, to further develop sustainability, while supporting staff and volunteer well-being. Continuing to recruit, train and look after our team will remain a focus. As a management team, we are planning steps to have a second house with Green Pastures. This would possibly be for a Male Dry House to support others within our community. We still need to develop sustainability within team and recruit additional volunteers before this is a viable option due to the high need of the mentors role. It is also important to build the relationship with the Council so that we are recognised as a facility that can move individuals on to Independent Living. This would open up so many options and opportunities for the residents as private rent isn’t always an option for them due to their low income.

The Trustees have considered the requirements of the Charities Act to ensure that the Charity meets its obligations in respect of Public Benefit. The Trustees believe that the above report demonstrates the Charity’s commitment to the community in which it is based, its achievements during the year and its future plans. This in their opinion satisfies the requirement of Public Benefit.
Structure, Governance and Management
Responsibility for setting policy and for determining the parameters within which the charity should operate rests with the trustees/directors who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity.
Responsibility for the day to day operation of the charity has been delegated to a senior management team led by Tom Geatches and the Housing Manager.
New trustees are recruited and appointed by the existing trustees, by a majority vote.
Financial Review
During the year, our income decreased by £1,091 to £36,616, while expenditure fell by £4,684 to £38,356. The majority of our income comes from housing benefits received for our residents. In 2024, we collected £33,475 in housing benefits (compared to £35,425 in 2023), a slight decrease attributed to ending the year with only one resident in the house.
Our expenditure dropped by 11% (£4,684 less) thanks to the careful management of our new housing manager, who has been diligently refining contracts and services to secure the best value. This reduction is also largely due to our dedicated volunteers, whose support in maintaining the property has significantly reduced our reliance on costly professional services.
without needing extra support from One Church. Although the project finished the year with a small deficit, this outcome demonstrates a year of recovery and effective management – notably by minimising vacancies between residents. Looking ahead, we are working with Green Pastures to secure a second house, which is likely to expand the project in 2025.
decreased by the same amount to £18,949. These net assets include £19,333 in cash, almost all of which is unrestricted.
Grant Making Policy
Gifts to external organisations and individuals are considered by the Trustees on the basis of need and the fulfilment of the charitable objectives. There are no upper or lower limits of support.
Going concern
The trustees, having reviewed all financial and other obligations expect the charity to continue to operate as normal for the foreseeable future.
One Church remains fully supportive of the project and together we will continue to review on-going viability.
Page 5
Reserves policy
The trustees/directors have determined that the charity should aim to hold cash of no less than £10,000, which equates to about 3 months of expenditure so that the charity could continue to operate should income and /or expenditure vary adversely. At the year end, the charity held cash of £19,333 and the charity is complying with its reserves policy.
Key risks and uncertainties
The charity is exposed to various risks - be they operational, financial or reputational. The trustees review the charity's activities regularly to identify significant risks and, where possible, they take appropriate measures to mitigate those risks.
All major insurance risks are subject to normal volunteer insurance. Contractual risks are reviewed before being entered into, to assess that they could not significantly impact upon the charity’s ability to fulfil its objectives.
An annual review of all areas of risk is undertaken by the trustees/directors in conjunction with volunteers responsible for the area of activity.
Responsibilities of trustees under company law
The trustees (who are also the charitable company’s directors in company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1 Statutory Information
The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
2 Accounting Policies
The accounts have been prepared under the historic cost convention and in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102"), with the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.
The trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
a) Income
Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.
Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from providing accommodation in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects.
The charity has relied significantly upon volunteers in carrying out its activities during the year. In accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured.
b) Expenditure
- Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
The charity sometimes makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity.
Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.
-
c) Funds General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.
-
d) Tangible fixed assets Fixed assets acquired for use by the charity are capitalised and depreciated over their estimated useful life unless they cost less than £2,000 when they are written off when purchased. To date no expenditure has been incurred that needs to be capitalised.

2 Accounting Policies continued
e) Leased assets
-
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the charity are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term (unless another systematic basis is more representative of use).
-
f) Taxation The company is a registered charity; it has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.
g) Cashflow statement The company has taken advantage of the exemption provided by the Charities SORP and has not prepared a Cash Flow Statement for the year.
h) Financial instruments
The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive).
