Team Rector’s Report
Emmanuel continues to fulfil our vision statements of being a ‘Family of faith where there is always room for one more’ and a wider community vision of being a ‘Home for the community’.
Our ministry team in the last year has shrunk and there is currently now only one stipendiary minister however we hope to increase that number soon.
The community aspects have shown increased growth with many groups now operating a waiting list.
We have expanded our F.I.S.H (Faith, Food and Fun in the School Holidays) outreach with Easter and Christmas ‘drop in sessions’. Our Foodbank continues to provide emergency help for many families and offers facilities to help with legal advice and support aimed to build confidence outside of the emergency help.
We have much to celebrate, faithful hardworking staff and volunteers and a commitment to continue to serve the people of Northampton East. We face challenges with a building that is 50 years old and not as atheistically beautiful as a traditional church but starting to need work and attention.
Whilst 2025 was another year of re-structuring and assessing the way forward it is our hope that we can start to build on opportunities in 2026. Emmanuel has a lot to offer and we have a strong desire to make and model a difference in this area of town.

Introduction
Emmanuel Group Council (EGC) being the Trustees of the Church, have a legal responsibility for the financial management of Emmanuel Group of Churches and the Weston Favell Centre Foodbank.
Overview
The Group manages the three congregations, the food bank and 2 community workers. The combined income of each of the group is in the order of £350,000 pa. In total there are currently 10 paid employees 1 members of the clergy team and significantly more volunteers
Emmanuel Church
Income
Seperation of Church and Foodbank Benevolent fund means the church has a fund of £10,000 for local community and individual use.
Giving was up overall by approx. £4,800. Loose giving during services remains consistent with a reduction in envelope giving being more than matched by an increase in the use of the parish giving scheme and increased payroll giving, along with an increase in the tax recovered by gift aid.
Income from lettings and photocopying was up slightly from £44,600 to £45,500.
Grants and Donations to the church rose slightly by £2750 to £25830, but it must be remembered that this includes £22,500 from the National Lottery for Utilities and Maintenance.
Grants for Community Work and Outreach again increased around £6,450 to £28,456 but again this is restricted funding.
Outgoings
The biggest costs were for Utilities (Gas, Electricity, Water, Telecoms) at £20,000, up by £8,000 Denominational Costs (£46,000) and Salaries (£79,000). These were partially offset by a reduction in Buildings and Maintenance costs of £5,500.
Anomalies
Please note that the accounts are still being audited and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities currently shows the general fund is in deficit but the wedding account was closed and this along with the Accounts receivable, Accounts payable and Agency Accounts need to be amalgamated
Emmanuel Charity
Community
Our main charitable works being carried out on behalf of the church are:- Tots, FISH, Youth Work and the Tithe Fund, along with regular events throughout the year focused on the church calendar. In addition we work closely with Café Emm and the Foodbank supporting their groups and events.
Income
Grants from Eakins of £8862 and £14,394 maintained a slightly lower overall income of £3,800 for community work
Overall income for Community and Youth work was around £28,000
Outgoings
Expenditure was also down £1,700 at about £17,000.
Food Bank
While the Emmanuel Group is responsible for the Foodbank, ensuring the Foodbank is run in accordance to the requirements of the Charities Commission, all costs are covered by donations to the Foodbank. Emmanuel Finance Report 2025 Page 1 of 2
Income
Income for 2025 was significantly down due to reduce grants, down by around £90,000. The majority of the grants in 2025 were short term grants for Household Support and Debt Advice, amounting to £97,633 All of these projects were completed so ongoing costs are not expected to arise from these.
Regular Giving and donations for the Foodbank amounted to £40,000, with a further £81,387 in grants, a total of 121,433 with some bank interest included.
Outgoings
The biggest expenses were Salaries, £63,108, Community Law, £58,000, Food, £30.853 and rent to Goodwill of £8,340. Total outgoings were around £175,287.
Going Forward
The Church
We have ended the year with slightly more than we started, Around £3,000. It must, however, be realised that this is in great part due to the National Lottery grant which provided £22,500 and which has now ended.
While we are in no immediate financial danger and have reserves of around £30,000, if we do not increase our income in following years we will start to eat into our reserves risking our long term financial stability.
Community
Again reliant on grants for long term viability. We have sufficient in reserves to continue our current work and continue to look for further grants if we want to continue to provide services for families and youthwork in the community.
The Foodbank
This is the first year costs have outstripped income for the Foodbank with a reduction in the amounts of grants which have been received. While the Foodbank currently has a significant buffer of around £70,000 it too relies on regular grants for its long term viability. As such it is important to invest in fundraising to make the most of these.
Conclusion
While the Church, Foodbank and Community areas are all currently financially solvent it is important we continually look for new sources of income if we are to maintain our presence in the community both as a Church and in providing a wide range of social support.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Emmanuel Church Weston Favell and Foodbank.
I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 31/12/2025.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The church’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The church’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act);
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
