## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From 01/03/2024 Period start date To Period end date** ## **28/02/2025** ## **Charity name: Southampton Christadelphian Ecclesia** ## **Charity registration number: 1140168** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|To advance the Christian faith in
accordance with the Christadelphian
Birmingham Amended Statement of Faith
for the benefit of the public, through the
holding of meetings for worship, prayer and
the preaching of the Gospel, providing
religious teaching and publications, the
promotion of charitable works and the
provision of pastoral care.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|Sunday services are arranged for Breaking
of Bread for worship, prayer and praise,
and weekday meetings of Bible Clas~~s ~~for
study and discussion of scripture. All
members of the public are welcome to
attend. Baptisms, weddings and funerals
are also performed. Following the lifting of
Coronavirus restrictions we have resumed
our usual Sunday Bible Time Services to
proclaim the Gospel message. Online Bible
seminars, to which members of the public
have been invited, are held weekly jointly
with other local Christadelphian Ecclesias.
We wish to advance the gospel for its
spiritual and moral benefits to individuals
and the public at large, as is the Christian
duty. Our activities and free literature are
exclusively Bible based, intended for
evangelising to attract new members and
for encouraging the religious and spiritual
development of existing members in
furtherance of the way of life in Christ. We
promote that way of life, the Bible duty “to
live self-controlled, upright and godly lives...
eager to do what is good” to all people and
to “live at peace with everyone.” Whilst
acknowledging social responsibility for the
Public Benefit, we have no involvement in
political matters nor any secular aspiration| in what we do. Our distribution of religious literature door to door either in person or via Royal Mail is to raise religious awareness by inviting the public to have free literature to encourage Bible study and belief of the gospel. We also maintain a website to explain to the public who we are and what we do, and encourage them to meet with us. We raise members’ donations also to support gospel proclamation in the wider UK through other Christadelphian ecclesias and in Europe and Africa via the Christadelphian Bible Mission. Our pastoral work is organised to visit the elderly, infirm or sick in homes or hospital and attend to the need to cheer and encourage them, as well as to deal with practical difficulties. This can include errands or purchases, financial help or advice, or transport to and from meetings, or medical appointments. Spiritual counsel is also arranged for those with such a need. For work farther afield in the UK, we raise members’ donations for the Christadelphian Benevolent Fund. We also financially support with donations pastoral work principally in the UK by the Christadelphian Isolation League which includes provision of Braille books and matter for those who are deaf, and overseas through the Christadelphian Bible Mission in the use of its Welfare Fund for alleviating hardship. We also run weekly Coffee Mornings which are open to the public and provide a social venue in the area. Another aspect of our charitable work is provision of low-cost accommodation. We own two flats which are let at low rental to tenants disadvantaged by age, infirmity or low income. We have no commercial motive and surplus (when there is any) is ploughed back into the Ecclesial funds. Elderly and ill members of our UK community are cared for in Christadelphian Care Homes and we raise financial support for them. Contributions from our members are made to Christadelphian Benevolent Fund for helping those in need in the UK, to Christadelphian Meal-a-Day for relief of poverty overseas and aid in providing fresh water supplies, farming and health advice. For disaster relief anywhere in the world, we donate to the Christadelphian Samaritan Fund. We also raise funds for charities with a local connection such as those supporting the homeless and needy in the Southampton area, the Hampshire |||Air Ambulance, and well-known national
charities with medical, social or care
objectives. We have held fund-raising
Coffee Mornings to allow those in the
neighbourhood to support us in these
causes.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming

had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit|Para 1.18|The Trustees declare that, in the planning
and execution of our activities, they have
considered the Commission’s guidance on
Public Benefit, including that given for
charities for the advancement of religion.| ## **Additional information (optional)** ## You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||

our Object without such generous and
unstinting support.| |Other||| ## **Achievements and Performance** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The Ecclesial Plan was completed in full,
with the scheduled meetings and services
taking place. Visiting speakers joined via
Zoom and in person and encouraged and
uplifted the congregations. Bible study
comprised a mix of lecture, DVD or visual
presentations. The personal delivery of
“Glad Tidings” magazines to areas of
Southampton continued, with 4 regular
postal recipients.
Attendance at the adult meetings averaged
approximately 45 attendances per week
spread over the three meetings. Total
membership averaged 50. Currently we do
not have any scholars in our Sunday
School.
In the year we held 2 baptismal services,
and gained 3 new members transferred
from another Christadelphian ecclesia.
Sadly also we had 5 funeral services.
The focus of our gospel proclamation has
been using our website and advertising
outside of our hall, inviting the public to our| Sunday Bible Hour. The online Bible seminars held jointly with other local Christadelphian Ecclesias, continued weekly with 2 regular members of the public from Southampton attending and a third receiving recordings. We also held regular Charity Coffee Mornings to support other good causes in our area. The amount and importance of welfare work is such that it is a standing item on the agenda of the monthly Arranging Trustees’ meeting. Care and help for the elderly continued to be a priority, along with supporting our new members (especially asylum seekers) as they find their feet. Help can include visiting at home or in hospital, with private breaking of bread if requested, transport, shopping, comfort and help with funerals, continuing contact with those in Care Homes, dealing with social services and financial matters, all on behalf of those in need, some of whom for various reasons struggle to cope with today’s society. Expenditure on welfare support was second only to that spent on buildings maintenance. Expenditure would be considerably higher were it not for those who volunteered their time and effort to help with welfare issues. This burden fell most heavily on our Welfare Team and those who assist them and we are particularly indebted for their services. The tenancy of both flats continued, with long term tenants. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: Achievements against Para 1.41 objectives set Performance of fundraising Para 1.41 activities against objectives set Investment performance Para 1.41 against objectives Other ## **Financial Review** |Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|Members donations have continued to be
received and income has exceeded
expenditure. This has been helped by the
rents for the two flats which have both been
occupied by tenants for the whole year.
The finances of the charity remain in a
healthy state. The balance held greatly
exceeds the working annual income, but
substantial expenses are expected during
the next few years(see next para) so large
reserves are needed to protect the charity.| |---|---|---| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The Ecclesia’s policy is to establish within
the General Fund (unrestricted) a reserve
of £50,000 to meet future unforeseen
contingencies, over and above a target
working income of £7,000 per annum. This
provision has previously been calculated
with reference to potential loss of one
year’s income and council tax if the flats
are vacated, but with few members who are
in a position to contribute extra if required,
it has become prudent to build a much
larger reserve. Substantial reserves are
being built to allow for major repairs to the
church hall in the next few years – a new
roof, new boiler, some new electrics and
decorating, The flats will also need some
extra work, additional to normal
maintenance, to bring their EPC rating up
to the expected required levels for rented
properties.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|£47,629| |Reasons for holding zero
reserves|Para 1.22|| |Details of fund materially in
deficit|Para 1.24|No fund was in deficit at 28thFebruary 2025| |Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern|Para 1.23|There are currently no specific
uncertainties. However, we are aware that
our more experienced members are
ageing, and we will be relying more on our
newer, younger members as time
progresses. Currently the mix is sufficient
to enable the Ecclesia to continue as a
going concern.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: The charity’s principal Para 1.47 Our sources of funds are from collections sources of funds (including and donations from members and tenants’ any fundraising) rents. When extra funds are needed, e.g. for unforeseen maintenance costs, members are asked to increase donations by single gifts or by contributions made. If further funding is required in time of real need, ecclesias and other Funds within the Christadelphian body support one another mutually by special appeals.

Policies and procedures
adopted for the induction
and training of trustees|
Para 1.51|
Trustees are elected from among
experienced members of the Ecclesia.
Induction per se is not necessary, since
Trustees are introduced to the Charity
Commission website publications, with
emphasis on CC3 – The Essential
Trustees: what you need to know and
Public Benefit principles. All periodically
receive CC newsletters to keep them
abreast of developments. When necessary
they are briefed on current topics, such
briefings drawing heavily on CC guidance
notes.| |---|---|---| |The charity’s organisational
structure and any wider

Arranging Committee, which makes day-to-
day arrangements on behalf of the charity. ~~i~~
On a monthly basis Trustees review all
matters and make necessary decisions on
activities and expenditure. The teams for
Welfare, Preaching, and Bible Class all
report to the Arranging Trustees. Quarterly
interim accounts for the Ecclesia are
received and reviewed.
Members receive minutes of Arranging
Trustee meetings and review them half
yearly at business meetings to confirm that
all aspects of our Object are receiving due
attention and diligence.| |Relationship with any
related parties|Para 1.51|To ensure the appropriate use of charitable
donations by the Ecclesia and members,
these are channelled through other
charities in the Christadelphian body, as
listed in the Annual Accounts. These
charities share our objectives and Trustees
are able to be represented on the major
ones by attendance and/or voting. We also
from time to time collect for local
Southampton or Hampshire and national| charities who help the disadvantaged or have some specific project for public benefit. The aims of these bodies are always examined before we propose them to members for a donation. Consideration of risks which could threaten the operation or reputation of the Ecclesia takes place at the Annual Trustee Meeting in July or otherwise as necessary.
