## **Governing Document history:** 

The church was originally known as the Maidenhead Baptist Church and was set up under a Trust Deed dated 16[th] August 1872. In March 1938 it adopted a Baptist Union Model Trust Deed and on 9[th] June 1982 approved a Constitution which was amended on 17[th] July 1986 and 25[th] June 2000 (and changed name to Jubilee Community Church Maidenhead). In 1992 it affiliated to Newfrontiers, a UK registered charity. 

The church is a member of the Baptist Union and was formerly an excepted charity. Due to growth in the size of the church, it was required to register formally and is now constituted as a charitable company limited by guarantee. It was incorporated on 8[th] December 2010 and entered onto the register of charities maintained by the Charity Commission for England and Wales on 14[th] February 2011.

## **Jubilee Community Church (Maidenhead)** 

## Trustee Report 2024 /2025 

The Trustees are pleased to present their report together with the financial statements for the year ended 31[st] August 2025. 

## **Charitable Objectives** 

The stated objectives of the church are "To know Jesus Christ and to make Him known". 

This is to be achieved through Christian worship, education, evangelism, discipleship and service to the community both locally and worldwide. 

## **Overview statement** 

Our report will highlight some of the exciting activities we are involved in but it’s important to note that numerous things can’t be recorded publicly but have a positive impact on people. This would include significant pastoral hours poured into pastoral care supporting marriages, counselling people through mental health difficulties, addictions, bereavements, visiting and praying for the sick. 

As a growing church family we are particularly grateful for the increase in diversity we see in the congregation which reflects the Maidenhead community. We have over 45 different nationalities represented across the congregation. We value the range of socio-economic backgrounds represented - with a number of people having joined our church family having come through Foodshare or joined us from the migrant community staying at the hotel in Maidenhead. You'll also read the support we are providing for families who have children with additional needs. All of this reflects our strong Biblical value that all people are made in the image of God and therefore have intrinsic value and worth, and that we as a church should impact our community positively. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The church is led by a team of elders who work closely with the trustees and other key ministry leaders in order to set policy and review the activities of the church. 

Elders are responsible for the spiritual oversight and care of the church. 

Trustees (which include elders) are responsible for church and charity governance including and not limited to employment, policies, procedures, safeguarding and finance. Some of these will be delegated to sub-groups working under trustee authority such as the safeguarding and finance teams. 

Page 3 



The staff are responsible for the day-to-day delivery of the vision as set out by the elders. The staff have ministry level responsibility but come under the authority of the elders and trustees. 

There are also individual ministry leaders who have oversight of teams such as Foodshare and Life Groups. They are part of the wider leadership structure of the church and also sit under the authority of the elders and trustees. 

## **Decision making** 

Trustees are appointed in line with the Church’s Constitution, which requires that all appointments are made by resolution of a Church Members’ Meeting. The process is public, transparent, and open to all Church Members, with advance notice given of forthcoming elections so that members may prayerfully nominate suitable candidates. Nominations must be submitted in writing at least three Sundays before the relevant meeting, after which the trustees prepare a final list of candidates. Elections are conducted by secret ballot at an Ordinary Church Members’ Meeting, and candidates must receive support from at least 66% of voting members to be appointed. Trustees normally serve a three-year term and may be reappointed. The elders and treasurer also serve as trustees ex officio. This process ensures that trustee appointments reflect the collective discernment and support of the Church Membership. In previous years, trustee induction focused on practical onboarding and signposting to external guidance, with no formal training programme or church-specific policy pack in place. The trustees are currently developing and reviewing governance policies and procedures, which will support a more structured induction for future trustees. 

Day to day running of individual ministries is delegated to staff and/or ministry leaders subject to budgets that are signed off by trustees and in line with the vision of Jubilee. We work in teams where there is ongoing conversation and evaluation of ministry. 

The church members have final say via voting on big decisions such as major building projects, new elders and new trustees. 

## **Setting pay for key management** 

The trustees set pay for the staff. Trustees who are staff are not in the room whilst these decisions are made and do not vote on these salary decisions. Every few years the trustees will evaluate staff salaries in light of other churches and similar organisations. 

## **Relationships between the charity and related parties** 

We are members of the Baptist Union who give us advice on safeguarding, who hold our buildings in trust, and are there to offer legal advice if needed. We partner relationally with various other networks and organisations, such as Newfrontiers, who have similar missional objectives. 

Page 4 



## **Volunteers** 

We have over one hundred volunteers serving in a large variety of capacities. We have a small number of volunteers serving as trustees, ministry leads and part-time office workers – but the vast majority of our volunteers help deliver Sunday mornings with roles such as volunteering in the children’s or youth work, worship, tech or sound team, and serve in this way around once a month. 

Our volunteers are offered training as needed, feedback, and clear on and offramps to step back or change their role as they feel led, and in discussion with ministry leaders. 

Any of our volunteers working with children, young people or vulnerable adults undergo DBS checks due to the nature of their role. 

## **Key risks and uncertainties** 

As for most churches, key risks would be leadership failure or division within the church community. Some of the negative effects of this would include reputational damage, lower congregational attendance, and financial giving. To mitigate against this we work in teams with relational accountability. We have trusted outside voices who we have relationship with, and they visit our church regularly. 

We monitor the state of our buildings ensuring that they remain safe for public use. We are working on contingency plans for how we would continue to meet either off-site or on-site should certain parts of our buildings be out of use. 

Safeguarding is incredibly important to us as we have many children, youth and vulnerable adults in our community. We regularly review our policies and procedures to mitigate against the risk of abuse. 

## **Safeguarding** 

All members of staff, trustees, Life Group leaders and those volunteers working with children or adults at risk receive safeguarding training that must be repeated every 4 years. Before working in their area of ministry, they must sign a copy of our safeguarding policy agreeing to comply with the code of behaviour contained within it. Our designated safeguarding officer Joelle has received training to deliver safeguarding to the Baptist Union’s recommended standards of best practice. She continues to receive updates and ongoing training from the Baptist Union for this. This allows her to deliver safeguarding training to other churches within our region. We have a safeguarding team comprising of Joelle (designated person for safeguarding), Ben (deputy person for safeguarding), Gill (Trustee) and Stuart (Senior Pastor). We also police check all our children’s leaders, Foodshare volunteers, office staff and trustees and repeat these every 5 years. 

Page 5 



This year Joelle trained 13 Jubilee people in Level 2, as well as 49 from other churches. We additionally trained 24 from other churches in Level 3 (all our Trustees were up to date with this Level 3 training). 

The safeguarding team met through the year to discuss open cases, review training and latest advice and any significant details were fed back to the Trustees. This is a standing item on the agenda each time the Trustees meet. 

At our AGM in October, Joelle read out the Safeguarding Policy Statement which included giving information of who was in the Jubilee Safeguarding Team. This is also on display on communication boards and our website for anyone who wants to reach out to the team with safeguarding concerns. 

## **Achievements and review of activities** 

All of the activities undertaken through Jubilee seek to serve our core mission to know Jesus and make him known. In doing this, we seek to be a community who Love God, Love People and Love Life. We believe faith is best grown in community, so seek to provide regular opportunities for relational connection and mutual encouragement. 

## **Sunday Services** 

The church holds regular Sunday morning services of worship for on average over 300 people. Special provision is made for babies, children and teenagers up to the age of 15 during the morning meetings. We generally have two morning services with the second also being live-streamed. Over the Summer we go to one service. We continue to see growth in the number of people attending Sunday services and so we are exploring the avenues of purchasing a larger building. 

We have teams of people who preach, teach, lead worship, sing and play instruments in worship teams, serve drinks before and after services and welcome people, pray for people, and serve in the children’s and youth work. 

## **Midweek Life Groups** 

A large percentage of the congregation are connected into small groups, called Life Groups, which meet weekly in each other’s homes to study the Bible together. There are set times each year where the Life Groups meet together to pray. As the majority of our pastoral care takes place in these Life Groups, we encourage our congregation to link into a group of their choice. Life Groups take turns welcoming people and serving refreshments at our Sunday morning celebrations. 

Page 6 



## **The Tent** 

Once a month, the congregation meet in the main hall for prayer and worship. These have been well attended with between 40 and 60 people joining together to worship, pray and have Communion together. It’s also an opportunity for all the Life Groups to join together for an evening. 

## **Children’s Work** 

At Jubilee we seek to provide a safe, welcoming space for children and their families to grow in faith, friendships and fun. We aim to introduce the Christian message in creative, accessible ways, so that children may begin their journey of faith with firm foundations. The activities and groups below reflect our desire to see children come to know Jesus more and reflect our tag line to help us achieve this: Love God, Love People and Love Life. 

The children’s work has continued maintaining around 100 under 11s on register, with around 60 of those attending every week. Again, a large number moved up into Youth work but numbers were replenished quickly with new families joining. 

## Jubilee Kids on Sunday Mornings 

The groups have continued with the same names and rooms, though there has been some changes in leadership. We have also begun to review how we are currently working as it has become more challenging to manage the large number of children needing buddying, alongside the large groups in each room. 

|**Group name**|**Group age**|**Group Leader**|**Curriculum**<br>**used**|
|---|---|---|---|
|Creche|0-3 years|Rewin|-|
|Sparklers|3-5 years|Katherine|HeartShapers|
|Shine|5-8 years|Silvia|Splash(SU)|
|Illuminate|8-11years|David|XStream(SU)|



## Leaders Connect Evening 

We are so grateful to have a team of over 60 volunteer helpers and buddies to run our children’s work. We have had termly Connect evenings to share a meal, hear any updates and notices, and spend time talking and praying in teams. In October, we spent time in the new teams to discuss strengths and challenges and how we might overcome these. In February some training was given on how to use Chat & Catch prayer within our groups. The leaders then recorded videos of themselves reflecting on it which were shared to encourage the children in Great Big Sunday. In June we had a celebratory thank you meal where some training from Parenting for Faith was shared on ‘helping encourage children to make connections with God’. These were well received with some good feedback from the team on how they can use this training within their own groups. 

Page 7 



We also had a review meeting in June with the main group leaders and another member of each team; we shared a meal then started to explore the current challenges we have within our groups, particularly looking at how we support our children with additional needs and also the impact this is having on the rest of the group. It was particularly noted within Shine that the rest of the group is finding it difficult to listen well in sessions due to other activity in the room. We have also realized we have no more capacity to offer buddies as 20 are already needed to buddy the 5 children we have. A new plan will be made to re-arrange the groups in the Autumn term. 

Sarah also visited Deeper to thank all of the youth helpers in the summer term and give thank you cards and cakes. There has been a great team of around 20 youth serving this year both as helpers in groups and as buddies of children with additional needs. 

## Great Big Sundays 

This year there have been 7 Great Big Sunday sessions. The children have had a variety of different themes to explore through various stations around the room, where they have been encouraged to Look up (worship the Lord), Look in (reflect on what God is saying to them) and Look out (focus on mission). 

## Light party 

A Light party was organized by a team of volunteers exploring the theme of salvation using the image of a pumpkin. There was a short talk, crafts to produce and take home, a sticker trail, disco and hot dog tea. It was very well attended with over 70 children (over 20 of which were not church attenders). The team did a fantastic job and the children had a great time. 

## Illuminate Life Group 

We have provided a monthly Illuminate Life Group at Jubilee for about 30 children aged 8-11, exploring the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, combined with sharing a pizza tea. They have used a combination of team building games, videos and resources for each session with verses to take away and learn. The group also had a Christmas film night and a summer games night. 

We were thrilled to be able to organize a trip to the Wycombe Swan Theatre to watch a production of ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’. It really brought to life the story they had been using as an allegory of the gospel and led to some fantastic follow up discussions in the new life group sessions.

## Additional Needs Support 

We have continued to have more families join the church who have children with additional needs. Sarah has met with each family to create one-pageprofiles which give us more information to help us support the children (these are stored in the front of folders for leaders and helpers to see). Mainly this support happens within the main group using sensory toys and adapting sessions to meet everyone’s needs. However, for 5 children they have buddies assigned as they struggle to access the sessions safely without 1:1 adults due to their communication needs. Each of these children have 3 buddies assigned so that 3 weeks out of 4 they have a buddy and the other week a parent/family member will stay. 

We also had a couple of visitors with substantial additional needs who came with a carer, but were unable to stay in the group safely due to the nature of their behaviour. We met with the parent to discuss alternative churches to try as we were not able to provide the support they needed. 

We also ran two breakfasts on a Saturday morning for all our Additional Needs families. This involved families being served a cooked breakfast, being able to explore various creative and sensory activities around the room, then take part in a circle time where the story was presented in a sensory way so all our children could access it. We looked at Psalm 139 in one session with a focus on being ‘Fearfully and wonderfully made’, and at the story of Noah in another session and how ‘God keeps us safe’. The mornings were well attended with the feedback being excellent. Parents particularly enjoyed the free-flow nature and that their children were able to access the Bible stories in a way they could experience and understand. We hope to develop this further next year so that children can access this style of provision on Sunday mornings. 

Sarah and Joelle ran two cycles of the ‘When Dreams Change’ course by charity Growing Hope. This 4-week course is for parents to help them process their child’s diagnosis through a Bible study and various counselling-style activities and reflections. Eight of our parents attended these sessions over the two cycles with the sessions providing a safe place to explore how they feel about their child’s diagnosis. For some of these parents it was an emotional journey starting to allow themselves to voice the feelings they had held within during a stressful time. It has created some great relationships and support within the parents as well as starting some towards counselling to continue the journey. We hope to run the course again next year to offer it to the parents who haven’t yet attended. 

## **Youth work** 

At Jubilee, we aim to create a safe and welcoming space for youth to go deeper in their faith and friendships and we are intentional about growing mature disciples of Christ who can live distinctly and share their faith with others. The activities and groups below reflect our desire to see youth come to know Jesus more and reflect our tag line to help us achieve this: Love God, Love People and Love Life. 

Page 9 



## General 

Once again we look back across this last year with an attitude of gratitude! Gratitude, firstly, to God for His provision, grace and faithfulness. However, we are also incredibly grateful for the fantastic team of volunteer leaders at Jubilee who sacrifice time and energy each week to make it all happen and to the youth for coming along each week and making it so much fun and so rewarding – and for parents for getting them there! 

We’ve been able to add again to the leaders within Jubilee Youth as we look to build teams for the future and to meet the need of a growing youth work. We also continue to be incredibly thankful for the existing team of experienced and dedicated youth leaders. 

We have continued to run Emerge, Deeper and Life Groups as a staple of weekly youth provision and have seen new youth added to all of these groups. 

## Emerge 

Emerge runs on a Sunday morning for our school years 7-9 at both the 9:00am and 11:00am services. We’ve looked at topics such as The Armour of God, The Trinity and an overview of the meta-narrative of the Bible. Emerge is wellattended at both services. 

## Deeper 

Deeper continues to run on Thursday evenings through the term, where we get all the Jubilee youth together (school years 7-13) for games, teaching, prayer, fellowship and worship. Over this last year we spent an extended time looking at the teaching of Jesus in a series on The Sermon on the Mount. We coupled this with evenings watching ‘The Chosen’ TV series. It has been great to do a deep dive into the person and nature of who Jesus is and we will be building on this over the next year too. 

## Life Groups 

Life Groups are 3 smaller groups run for school years 8-9, year 10 -11 and then year 12+. These smaller age groups meet to hang out, often eat together and have an opportunity to share and input themselves in a setting that is less front-led than Deeper. Over this last year, we have covered topics such as happiness, a ‘body parts’ series looking at the metaphors of how we use our brains to think and reflect, our hands and feet to serve, and our mouths in how we speak to one another. We also worked through some discipleship questions aimed to give space to stop and reflect in busy lives. We were unable to facilitate a year 7 life group this year, but have plans to increase to 4 life groups from next term to meet the growing number of youth wanting to be part of small groups. 

Page 10 



## Worship 

As a supplement to these weekly regular weekly programmes we have also have an array of extra activities and events. 2-3 times a term we put on the really popular youth worship and jam sessions. These are open to any of the youth who sing or play an instrument to come and join together to worship for a couple of hours and then eat together before Deeper. Many of the youth have got involved with up to 15 on stage singing and playing together! There is a range of abilities, but it’s great to see a growing in confidence and it has led to an increasing number of youth being involved in worship teams on Sunday mornings. 

## Extra events 

In the Spring term we ran a night of prayer and worship with many youth coming to spend an extended time connecting with God late into the evening before sleeping over on the church site. We know that events like these play an important role in making memories as well as deepening friendships and faith. 

As part of Deeper in the Summer term, we also ran a Youth Takeover where young people were responsible for the whole evening leading cooking, snacks, welcome, games, worship, preaching and a time of prayer! It was great to see youth stepping out of their comfort zones to lead and serve in this way. 

We also know that Jubilee Youth is much wider than just a Thursday night or Sunday morning. Over this last year, it has been wonderful to see large numbers of Jubilee Youth serving and using and developing their gifts. We have youth regularly as part of worship bands, Jubilee Kids, buddies (supporting children with additional needs) and on the audio-visual teams. 

Numbers of Jubilee Youth are also meeting in smaller groups to read and study whole books of the Bible. They independently read the books and then come with questions, encouragements and favourite verses. This is facilitated by a leader but is a great place for peer-to-peer learning. In the Summer holidays we also ran what has now become our annual ‘Bible Study Breakfast’ where we do a similar thing for youth who are around on some dates over the Summer to join us for Bible study, bacon and eggs! This last year we produced a Bible Study resource booklet for anyone who wanted to take part. One study was on the book of Romans and the other one was on Galatians. 

Additionally, we have leaders who will regularly meet to disciple, support and pastor young people through big life decisions, difficult circumstances or moments where they are feeling low or insecure. These ad-hoc meet ups are available to any of the youth as they have need. 

Page 11 



As well as seeing a growth in the numbers of youth coming along to all of these events the spiritual fruit from it has also been evident. In this last year, 3 youth from Jubilee made decisions to get baptised and shared their testimonies to friends, family and the wider church in what were often very moving as well as celebratory services. We currently have a queue of youth waiting get baptised in the year ahead. 

Of course there are all of the socials too; from one-off events such as movie nights, meals together, BBQ’s, night hikes, mini-golf, a Passover meal and the Easter egg draw, guest speakers and the roaming supper to our Summer camp, Newday. 

## Newday 

For Newday this year, we took 43 teenagers from Jubilee away with us for a week joining together with churches from across the UK at the Norfolk Showground. It was a week of teaching, worship, fun, games as well as making friendships and memories. It was a wonderful time together watching friendships develop and faiths deepen. We are incredibly grateful to the team that make this happen and the finances that Jubilee make available to subsidise this event for all the youth involved. 

Serving the youth at Jubilee has been a real joy and privilege over this last year and we continue to remain grateful to all who play their part in making it happen. 

## **Training and Equipping** 

We run a number of courses in the church to help equip people to live deeper Christian lives and for that to have a positive influence in our community. We have had a number of in-house leadership and training events and also attended various conferences during the year. These included First Aid training, times with Genesis Collective and Terry Fouche training on leadership and pastoral care. A number of these courses and conferences are now livestreamed for people to participate in their own homes. 

Staff member, Joelle Glyn-Jones, provides regular safeguarding training for Jubilee on behalf of the Baptist Union and this is open to other churches as well. 

## **In the Community** 

At Jubilee we aim to share the love of Jesus beyond our Sunday gatherings. We seek to be Good News to the community around us by showing Jesus’ love in action through our words and deeds. The activities and groups below reflect our desire to see the Maidenhead community come to know Jesus more and reflect our tag line to help us achieve this: Love God, Love People and Love Life. 

We love to build community through parties and social events such as BBQ’s, picnics in the park, baptism parties, quiz nights, carol services, and the like. We are always looking for new opportunities to build community. 

Page 12 



## Foodshare 

Jubilee continues to collect and distribute food for Foodshare to be able to feed those unable to buy food. The RBWM Town Hall, Social Services, Housing Solutions, schools, doctors’ surgeries, Cranstouns and a number of other agencies issue vouchers that people can then redeem for food. We have given out 320 sets of food during this period to individuals and families (approximately 6 sets per week). We also serve tea and cake (some baked by the team and some donated by the Handmade Cake Company). Our team spend time providing a safe space for the guests to relax and chat and sometimes the team are involved in helping them in other ways, such as with housing needs and other problems. The team also occasionally pray with the guests when appropriate and the guests have sometimes attended church on Sundays or our toddler group on Wednesdays. 

We have a good working relationship with the central Maidenhead Foodshare Charity and they often refer people to us who prefer a quieter, safe environment to receive their food. 

## Coffee on the Street 

This is a ministry where we as a Church serve free tea and coffee to the public walking past our buildings on a Friday morning. This ministry started primarily to love our community – to embody our vison to “Love God. Love People. Love Life.” 

We love to see people’s day brighten up because they feel loved from the free gift. It is run every Friday morning no matter what the weather conditions, come rain, wind, hail or snow; we’ll be there. We have a coffee machine for the ministry which serves speciality coffees and hot chocolate which has been a great benefit and enjoyed by many people. We have had a number of visitors into the church off the back of this ministry as well as helping and supporting people who come by and have shared problems they need help, support and prayer for. We have also continued to grow the team of volunteers. This is now the eighth year we have been running Coffee on the Street. 

## Dot to Dot 

Dot to Dot has continued to have substantial growth this year with over 100 families on our mailing list! This year we introduced a booking system via an email with a Churchsuite booking link. This way we could cap the numbers of guests in the room to under 70 to give a better experience and allow the team to serve the guests well. There has been mixed feedback from parents on this booking system with some getting very frustrated on the weeks they don’t get a place, and others enjoying the extra space for the children to play, but we do feel it was the right decision to ensure the safety of all attendees. 

Page 13 



We have a team of 8 volunteers who share leading stories, craft, messy play and serving in the kitchen and welcoming teams. The team meet together termly to plan the activities. 

Our Christmas, Easter and Summer parties were very well attended and all children were given books explaining the gospel to take home. We continue to pray that God will move in these families and they will come into our Jubilee family too. It is such an opportunity to build relationships in our community and be a listening ear for parents, as well as a chance to teach the children God’s truths while they are young. Such precious and busy Wednesday mornings! 

We also had a well-attended parent social where Natalie Fontenelle led a workout evening which was followed by drinks and nibbles. It was lovely to have the opportunity for parents to connect without chasing after little ones! 

## CAP Money Courses 

Christians Against Poverty, (CAP), is a registered charity with the aim of helping people get out of debt and manage their finances well. We have not run any courses at Jubilee this year but have referred people to the main Maidenhead centre. Louise Otto continues to do CAP with students before they go off to University to help them budget well. We are exploring joining with other churches in the town to collaborate more with CAP. 

## Schools work 

Sarah has continued visiting Burchetts Green Infant School to deliver Open the Book assemblies twice a month. The children love these opportunities to explore the Bible and learn new songs. This year Sarah attended some online training on the new resources and re-written stories that Open the Book have produced. Sarah then replanned our sessions at Burchetts to ensure we cover a range of stories over each term. In the summer term, David Randall and Kerrin Coley also joined the team to help with the assemblies. This has been a real blessing and helped make the stories come alive even more. 

The school also came to Jubilee for their Nativity where they rehearsed and performed, as well as taking part in group time at Jubilee on the real meaning of Christmas. We tried a new format of this allowing each class to rotate around 3 activity rooms- a craft room, a games room and a reflection room. This worked well to allow all children the opportunity to enjoy activities and connect to the story we shared. It was a privilege to be part of. 

## Christian Schools Support Worker 

We financially support Wayne Dixon, a Christian Schools support worker, and CCiS (formerly Scripture Union) financially in the work they do in local schools. 

Page 14 



## **International Mission** 

At Jubilee we aim to be generous with the financial provision we receive, acknowledging that we are part of a global church. We partner relationally with a range of charities and organisations around the world, supporting them through prayer, in-person visits and financial support. 

## Operation Christmas Child 

Working with the Samaritan’s Purse organisation on Operation Christmas Child has become a regular feature in our Church. We know first-hand the joy that these Christmas presents bring to children as a couple of people in our congregation received these as children whilst living in eastern Europe. 

These shoeboxes contain gifts that the Samaritan’s Purse recommend from an approved list of items that will be of benefit to the children. These include, toys, school supplies, hygiene items such as toothbrushes and toothpaste and other items such as hats, scarfs and wind-up torches. As football is a popular team sport, we encourage the sending of a deflated football, needle valve and hand pump in the box. This is a gift that will not only bless the recipient but also other children within the community that the shoebox arrives in. 

Care is taken not to send inappropriate items like war related figures, liquids that could burst or leak in transit or chocolate that could melt and arrive spoilt. 

One particularly exciting aspect for us as a church in recent years has been becoming a collection hub for shoeboxes. It means that during November we have regular visits from schools, businesses and individuals dropping off boxes. It is a great opportunity to connect with people in the local community as well as providing a holding centre for 625 boxes collected from Jubilee and the people of Maidenhead. 

## Education 

We have a number of families in the Church who support children in extreme poverty around the world through child sponsorship and scholarship programmes administered by the charities Compassion and Transform Salone. We have someone in our church community who works for Compassion and a large number of children sponsored through our church family. We also have families sponsoring students in Nigeria via Dachung and Stephanie John’s Kids of Hope School in Vom, Plateau State. 

Page 15 



## Kids of Hope School, Vom Nigeria 

We continued our long relationship with Dachung and Stefanie John who run the Kids of Hope School in Vom, Plateau State, Nigeria. Whilst we didn’t send out any teams this last year, we have a number of families across the church who sponsor the education of children at the school and who received regular updates. We were also encouraged to hear that, due to the success and growth of the school, Dachung and Stefanie are planning an expansion of the school facilities. We had the joy of hosting Stefanie in the Autumn where she was interviewed by one of our elders and was able to share with the church community updates on the school and for them as a family. 

We also hosted a ‘curry night fundraiser’ where we cooked for over 100 people with donations given on the evening being split between our partners in Moldova and Nigeria and information available on the evening about the projects. 

## Moldova 

We did not have a trip out to Moldova in the last year, but we have continued to have regular contact with our mission partners there and support them in prayer, regular communication and updates as well as financial support across various activities they are running. 

A particular highlight of the ministry they are involved in was their summer kids holiday camps in Truseni where over 200 children came along and the local mayor opened up the town hall for them to be able to use. They have also run smaller such events and camps in villages across various parts of Moldova, linking up with local church leaders and supporting their work amongst some of the poorest children in the country. 

We also sent a gift out again in January as part of our commitment to paying the wages of one of the staff members for the next two years. This went to supporting a lady who runs a children’s afternoon club for a number of incredibly poor children in a small village. This village had no church before the project start, but now has a small church that has started off the back of the work. 

It was also wonderful to have Florin, Cati and Estera join us at Newday this year as young leaders who were a huge blessing to us and our youth. Estera and Cati then shared some testimony and prayer requests as part of the Sunday service at Jubilee with Florin preaching to us as a church and encouraging us. 

We look forward to our continued relationship with the Trandafir family and what other doors of opportunity God will open up next.

## **Public benefit** 

As can be seen in the ‘Achievements and review of activities’ above, our activities are of public benefit. Much of what we do benefits not only church membership but the wider community. Our services and gatherings are open to visitors. In planning the activities, the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission. 

## **Financial review** 

On 31 August 2025, Jubilee Community Church (Maidenhead) had total funds of £613,183 (2024: £359,060), of which £68,671 was available as unrestricted funds, for the general purposes of the charity (2024: £68,625), £288,916 was designated for future purposes by the trustees (2024: £287,181) and £255,596 was restricted (2024: £3,254). 

Jubilee Community Church (Maidenhead) has three types of funds: 

- **Unrestricted funds** which can be used for any purpose, and which make up the charity's general reserves. 

- **Designated funds** which have been set aside by the trustees for a particular purpose and require the trustees' permission to be used for any other purpose. 

- **Restricted funds** that are given for a specific purpose and require the permission of the giver to use them for any other purpose. Only a small proportion of Jubilee Community Church (Maidenhead) Funds are restricted. 

Total **Income** for 2025 was £610,405 (2024: £466,864). This comprised of three key elements 

- £345,898 (2024: £443,215) of unrestricted donations from the attendees of the church and the associated reclaimed gift aid tax, along with charitable activities and interest. This income is intended to cover the regular running costs and activities of the church. 

- £10,433 (2024: £20,911) came from donations from the attendees of the church towards various Funds (related to our Missions Partners in Moldova & Nigeria among others) and the associated reclaimed gift aid tax. The funds are restricted funds, intended for these initiatives and future projects. 

- £254,074 (2024: £2,738) came from donations from the attendees of the church towards a new Building Fund (related to a future Building Project), the associated reclaimed gift aid tax, and interest. The fund is a restricted fund, for the purpose of this project solely. 

Total **Expenditure** for 2025 was £356,282 (2024: £457,992) of which regular expenditure on the work and ministry of the church was £343,692 (2024: £432,548). 

Page 17 



The **Surplus** from all income into the church, less all expenditure, gives a surplus of £254,123 (2024: £8,872). The majority of this is the donations to the Building fund. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The charity needs general reserves as a source of working capital and to cover expenditure in the event of an unexpected decrease in income or other change in circumstances. The trustees have defined the minimum level of reserves permissible as 3 months' worth of the charity's operating expenditure. Operating expenditure is defined as all the charity's essential costs and excludes discretionary spend such as voluntary donations to third parties. The rationale for this is to allow Jubilee Community Church (Maidenhead) to continue to operate for at least 3 months in the extreme scenario that its income reduces materially over a very short period. 

As of 31 August 2025, the charity's general reserves held in the Best Practice Fund, were £60k. This represented approximately 3 months of operating expenditure. The reserves policy is reviewed on an annual basis by the Trustees, and the level of reserves held is reviewed monthly as part of the management reporting. 

## **Future plans** 

In response to sustained growth in both attendance and the range of activities, the church will continue to adapt its services and meeting times to meet the evolving needs of the community. To support this growth, funds are being raised and allocated to a designated Building Fund. This fund will be used to enable either the renovation of existing premises or a potential move to facilities better suited to the church’s mission and the way it serves the community. 

As the church continues to grow, further development of the staff and volunteer team remains a priority. The church will continue to review its staffing and volunteer capacity to ensure it is appropriately structured and resourced to meet increasing demands. 

A structured review of training, policies, and procedures is currently underway, supported by a volunteer role dedicated to this work. The outcome of this review will inform recommendations aimed at strengthening governance and operational effectiveness. Trustees will consider these recommendations and oversee their implementation as appropriate. 

## **Trustee Responsibilities** 

The trustees 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). 

Page 18 



Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year.  In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

1. select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

2. observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

3. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

4. state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

5. prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.  They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## **Approval** 

This report, which has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies, was approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by:

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF** 

## **JUBILEE COMMUNITY CHURCH (MAIDENHEAD)** 

## **('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2025 on pages 21 to 33 following, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 24 and 25. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

Since the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

I have no concerns and have come across no matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **JUBILEE COMMUNITY CHURCH (MAIDENHEAD)** 

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025** 

## **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** 

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention. 

These financial statements have been prepared 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 principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. 

## a) Going concern 

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. 

## b) 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 donations includes: 

i) Recoverable gift aid. This is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor. 

ii) The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured. 

Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects. 

## c) 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 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. 

The cost of raising funds is not significant and has not been separately disclosed. 

Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, include 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.

## **JUBILEE COMMUNITY CHURCH (MAIDENHEAD)** 

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025** 

## **2 Accounting Policies (cont.)** 

## d) Fund accounting 

- 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. 

## e) Tangible fixed assets 

Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £2,500 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than 3 years. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life.  To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged: 

Freehold land Is not depreciated (because it is not consumed by use) Freehold buildings Over 50 years after taking account of the building's residual value Equipment Over 3 to 7 years 

The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. 

f) Pension scheme arrangements The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds. 

## g) 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. 

h) Financial instruments The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Except for loans, creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive). 

i) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement The trustees do not consider that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.
