TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of Christ Community Church, Attleborough ('the Church' or 'the Company') for the year 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025. 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 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 ministries 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, a part time Finance, Operations and HR Lead 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 550 local people with over 7 projects. We also ran one marriage course and two Alpha courses and provided pastoral care to those in need.

Ultimately, the achievement of the Church's objectives depend 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 2025

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 147 adult members of the Church - we welcomed 8 new members this year. Our biggest service of the year was our carol service with over 260 attendees, our Easter service was attended by 230 people where 9 people were baptised. We saw many people attend our first winter Alpha course and also ran youth Alpha courses in the Church and the local high school, reaching over 60 young people. A new larger mid-week community group was started in January which has gathered great momentum bringing together those on the fringes of church community.

We've had combined attendance of 633 at our community events which included an Alpha Launch Event and a Soup Festival.

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 Church were £1,260,870 at 31 March 2025 (2024: £576,415) . Free reserves, being unrestricted funds not represented by fixed assets were £595,087 at 31 March 2025 (2024: £19,673) .

The Trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the Church'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 Christ Community Church's activities 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 Church's size and level of financial commitments held.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

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 2025.

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.

2.2 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.

2.3 Income

All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

2.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

2.10 Pensions

The Company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Company to the fund in respect of the year.
