## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of Christ Community Church, Attleborough ('the Church') for the year 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024. The Annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Since the Company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **a. Policies and objectives**
We seek to advance the Christian faith and relieve poverty and hardship in Attleborough and the surrounding towns and villages. To this end we have a collective vision of becoming a Church of size, substance and significance.
**Size** - A growing Church that reaches people with the love and message of Jesus. **Substance** - A Church where believers are renewed, supported and discipled. **Significance** - A Church that serves those in need both within the Church and across the wider community.
In our efforts to reach people with the love and message of Jesus we have run two alpha courses, a hugely popular carol service, and run a number of events bringing the wider community and Church together. We now have a paid youth worker, children’s worker and event manager. All this has resulted in regular baptisms of those coming to faith in Christ. We also support a number of ministeries in our wider family of churches Relational Mission.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
## **b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives**
In our efforts to renew support and disciple believers, we run Sunday services, midweek groups, have a pastoral care team, and run regular prayer meetings throughout the week. We have a full time Church Leader and a part time Church Administrator. We have also run a number of events where Church family can enjoy community and bring their friends.
Our efforts to serve the wider community are largely achieved through our partnership and support of The Lighthouse Attleborough, a charity we founded in 2007 that now supports over 700 local people with over 13 projects. We also ran two marriage courses and provided pastoral care to those in need.
Ultimately, the achievement of the charity’s objects depends enormously on the commitment and work of church members who volunteer their time and also serve others in their day-to-day lives.

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
## **Objectives and activities (continued)**
## **c. Main activities undertaken to further the Company's purposes for the public benefit**
In planning our activities, the Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on 'Public Benefit'. The Trustees have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in December 2008.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **a. Main achievements of the Company**
Overall, it has been a year of continued growth for Christ Community Church. Our Church community is now made up of well over 200 local people, with 115 adult members of the Church – we welcomed 24 new members this year. Our biggest service of the year was our Carol service where 14 people who were not part of a local Church prayed the response prayer. One wrote ‘Last year when I came I had no faith, but this year I do’.
We’ve had combined attendance of 1486 at our community events which included:
- A Summer BBQ
- A Fish and Chip Quiz night launching our alpha course
- A Coronation party
- Four Ladies events
The Trustees continue to keep under review the various risks which may affect the operation of the Church, and to work with The Lighthouse on specific areas of risk which affect their joint activities.
The Trustees continue to regularly review and update policies and risk assessments.
## **Financial review**
## **a. Going concern**
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
## **b. Reserves policy**
The total funds of the charity were £576,415 at 31 March 2024 _(2023: £547,340)_ . Free reserves, being unrestricted funds not represented by fixed assets were £19,673 at 31 March 2024 _(2023: £18,273)_ .
The Trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the Company's needs. A formal policy on the reserves has been agreed which states that the free reserves be maintained at a level which ensures that Church Community Church's activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty and has been set at £45,000 which would cover 6 month's running costs. This is based on the Company's size and level of financial commitments held.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
## **Structure, governance and management**
## **a. Constitution**
Christ Community Church, Attleborough is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by Memorandum and Articles of Association.
## **b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees**
The management of the Company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities**
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the 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 Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Christ Community Church, Attleborough ('the Company')**
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the Trustees of the Company (and 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 the Company's accounts 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.
I have no concerns and have come across no other 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. This report is made solely to the Company's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.
