objectDies.
In 2025 the charity launched a Leadership Developrnenl Programme which ran monthly over the course of the
year. We had ￿enty-siX people undertake this course all of whom had a coach to work alongside them and the
participants voluntèered in a specrfic area of the charity. Pastor Stephen Mallhew from the AOG (Assemblies of
Godl Healthy Church Team was an adviser lo the course and helped with some of the leadership sessions.
Pastor Stephen Matthew also carried out a review of the church leadership across the church family lo help the
church develop and improve ils leadership structure moving forward.
In 2025 we also look over 70 young people lo our annual Youth Retreat al Sizewell in Suffolk. The church helped
several families financially who were unable lo meet the cost of the Youth Retreat. These subsidi&s were
approved by the Youth Team and Trustees.
In 2025 the church led with other churches the'on the Move" Outreach whereby we gave out free burgers lo the
local cornmunily and invited them lo various inilialwes thè Church was running for public benefrt. This was mainly
financed by Sawyers Church and Trinity Church.
In 2025 Sawyers Church hosted the Assemblies of God IAOGI Regional Leaders Conference and the Regional
Leaders Youth Conference in our new building to help support AOG who we are affiliated lo. Several of the Core
Leadership Team and Ministry Leaders Team attended the AOG National Leaders Conference in Harrogate.

Achievements and performance Icontlnu&dl
b. Mission Support
The church continued to support various missions including 'Stsnd By Me.. a local charity that supports
orphanages overseas, 'The Wycliffe Bible Translators, and a church plant in Brittany (Francel. We also
continued support for a Church Plant on the Isle of Wight called Allilude Church and continued to 5UPPOrt our
CAP Debt Cenlre. During 2025 the ch8rity took the decision lo fully support the work of the CAP Debt Centre for
the next year due lo the lack of grants
Other missions that we support include- Oleksandra Bereza in Ukraine, Clive and Mary 8eckenham founders of
New Life Home Ttusl in Kenya and Mark and Beccy Riley in the Pais Project in USA.
As a Church we review our mission5 giving each year and aim lo give 100h of our funds to mission.
Flnancial revl
a. Golng concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequat&
resour￿5 lo continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue lo adopt
the going concern basis in preparing the f5nancial Statements.
b. Flnan¢lal reviaw
Due lo the generosity and support of individuals and organisalions associated wi(h Sawyers Church incoming
resource5 during the period lolalled £859,44212024 £649,005) which was sufficient to both satisfactorily achieve
our commitments and undertakings and increase unreslncled funds.
The Trustees believe that Sawyers Church is reliant on God's provision for the financi85 resources that il needs
to fund ils work. Consequently, tho policy of the charity is not to build up significant reserves., and wherever
possible lo expend income received during each f nancial year on ils purposes. However, in order to ensure that
the charity can manage ils opèrational cashflow needs, the Iruslees aim to hold working capital sufficient lo
cover three to six months expendrture. The trustees consider that reserves al this level will ensure that, in the
event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charty's actmties while consideration is
given lo ways in which additional funds may be raised.
The new building completed in early 2024 is debt free due lo the generosity of individuals and other
organisalions. During 2025 final payments ID the building contractor have been made. We have continued lo use
the new venue lo host Confe￿nceS during the year for other Christian organisalions, Ioc81 authorities, and
several local ¢ommunily groups.
The Iruslees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in
place lo miligale exposure lo the major risks.
