## **KAIROS NETWORK CHURCH**
## **TRUSTEES REPORT CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**
## **Achievements and performance**
During the year the charity has fulfilled its objectives in the following ways:-
1) The charity has continued to offer connection and support to a diverse range of individuals and households. Over the year there has been continued growing participation of individuals and families at all events.
2) The charity’s work among children, young people and families has had continuing success. Youth clubs, children’s groups and family events have provided opportunities to support and encourage children and parents. They have continued to developed work supporting relationships among pre-school families. Work with young people has led to youth-led initiatives to explore faith.
3) The charity has once again been able to make the Westcliffe Hall available to several local community groups which provide a wide variety of activities and services, which of course add to the benefit to the wider public outside the core Kairos community. This has included the continuation of a weekly, warm welcome community café attended by a wide range of people and offering friendship and support as well as a free warm space and food during a time when costs of living are high.
4) The charity has continued to work with other local churches, charities and agencies to support community development through, for example: regular assemblies in local primary and secondary schools on emotional wellbeing, self-esteem and life skills; collection and volunteer support for Harrogate Food bank. Volunteers connected to the charity have participated in learning mentoring programs in local primary schools and in the development of a new weekly drop-in for teenagers in the town centre.
5) One established Kairos community, Resurrection Bikes continued to refurbish and sell donated bicycles providing significant benefit both to the teams that meet to refurbish the bikes and to the customers who purchase good safe bikes for both adults and children at reasonable prices. An overall benefit is to the charities and their beneficiaries that are supported by this work. In the current year the teams have refurbished and sold 748 bikes, allowing over £83,500 to be given to charity. In addition, 28 refurbished bikes were given free to refugees.
6) Kairos has a Bronze Eco Church Award. One Kairos Community has developed a monthly event in a local woodland area for those wishing to explore the links between spiritual wellbeing and environmental care. This has led to some fruitful partnerships with, and work to raise money for, local conservation projects. In addition to this our Eco Team have successfully run recycling and fundraising projects. All this has helped the church make progress towards its Silver Eco Church Award. The charity has continued to invest in people through the training of a curate and the encouraging and training of volunteer leaders for community building.
7) The Charity has embarked on a supportive relationship with a 5 church Benefice in the local area, at the suggestion of the Bishop of Ripon. This has led to the development of community activities for children and families in that area.
8) The charity has begun fundraising for building work at Westcliffe Hall to enhance its quality as a resource fo rlocal community work, including among the elderly, the lonely and young people.
9) The church which this charity supports underwent a five year review in October 2025, led by the Bishop’s Visitor. This was an extremely positive exercise affirming the beneficial impact the church has in the local area. The report recommended that the church continues its work and is now licensed by BMO indefinitely.

## **KAIROS NETWORK CHURCH**
## **TRUSTEES REPORT CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**
## **Purposes of the charity set out in its governing document**
The purposes of Kairos Network Church are set out in a Bishop’s Mission Order made by the Bishop of Leeds under part 7 of the Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011 and are as follows:
1) To develop an extra-parochial mission-focussed Christian network which shall operate across the Harrogate Deanery. It will provide appropriate forms of Christian worship and teaching to people who do not belong to any church and to help enquirers to become members of the Christian faith.
2) It will establish Mission-Shaped and mid-sized communities which will meet as groups with the intention of mission activity, mutual support and teaching.
3) It will establish a mature and responsible lay Christian leadership within an Anglican ethos.
## **Main activities undertaken to further the charity’s purposes and for the public benefit**
The main activities of the charity in support of the above objectives and the public benefit requirement are:
1) Development of mid-sized communities each with a different emphasis designed to appeal to different types of people and interests
2) Running collective worship services for the communities at which are accessible and of interest to all ages and which welcome all.
3) Children and Families activities for ages ranging from parent and toddler to teenager. These are designed for members of the local community as well as active members of the Kairos Network Church communities.
- 4) Arranging highly accessible events around key festivals such as Christmas and Easter.
5) All activities are designed to be attractive to the wider public in support of the mission purpose as well as the public benefit requirement.
## **Statement confirming the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.**
The trustees have received the Charity Commissions guidance on Public Benefit in the form of documents PB1, PB2 and PB3 and have confirmed that they have regard for it.
## **Financial review**
Operating finances for the year saw regular giving increase again. Hall rental income declined but overall income was greater than last year. Planned recruitment of a youth worker was not successful, as a result, salary costs were less than planned, albeit temporarily as full replacements are still planned. After taking these factors into account there was a surplus on the Operating Fund of £15,453. Surplus on other restricted funds, Create Space Fund (new development work) , Building Fund (scheduled building maintenance) and Resurrection Bikes Fund amounted to £17,280 making up the balance of the total surplus for the year of £32,733.
## **Reserves policy**
The trustees have a policy that the charity should aim to maintain unrestricted reserves covering to the value of three months unrestricted expenditure. The current operating reserve balance remains just over this target. The charity does benefit from a high proportion of committed recurring giving from members which also strengthens the financial position. The charity has started fundraising for redevelopment of an unusable part Westcliffe Hall into a space for youth. These funds are separate from the operating reserve.
## **Going concern**
There are no uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

## **Independent examiner’s report to the Trustees of Kairos Network Church**
We report on the accounts of the charity, and accompanying notes, which are set out on pages 7 to 10 for the year ended 31 December 2025.
## **Respective responsibilities of the trustees and examiner**
The trustees who are also the directors of Kairos Network Church for the purposes of company law are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied ourselves that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination it is our responsibility to :
1) examine the account under section 145 of the 2001 act;
2) 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
3) to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
Our examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. 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 seeks 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 the course of our examination, no matter has come to our attention which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements :
(i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
(ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of 36 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principle of the Statement of Recommended Practice : Charities Act 2011 Accounting and Reporting by Charities; to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
