## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The purpose of the Charity is to advance the Christian faith in the Area of Benefit in accordance with the principles and practices of the Participating Churches. In achieving its purposes, the Charity will engage in a range of activities, either on its own or with others, including (but not restricted to): a) the celebration of public worship; b) the teaching of the Christian faith; c) mission and evangelism; d) pastoral work, including visiting the sick and the bereaved; e) the provision of facilities with a Christian ethos for the local community, including (but not restricted to) the elderly, the young and other groups with special needs; and f) the support of other charities in the UK and overseas.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
These pages of accounts describe the spending of the monies given by our members and other money raised and spent by the charity in the year 2024/25.
Christchurch as a charity exists to promote the Christian faith in the area of Ilkley. As Trustees we take our responsibilities seriously. Property is maintained, staff are paid, activities are carried out to fulfil our objectives and strategic thought given towards the ongoing work of the charity. These are all represented by these figures which continue to be the financial outworking of our vision: "love in action: Christchurch on The Grove”. "
The Trustees have provided oversight and strategic direction, as well as ensuring proper control of operational activities. A review process has led to some simplification of structures and a reduction in the number of meetings required. The effectiveness of the new processes remains under review.
Regular and varied public worship continues, with different forms of worship used on Sunday mornings, including the more informal café style services once a month. Sunday morning worship is still available on-line. Messy Church continues successfully on Sunday afternoons, with faithful regular families and newcomers, and SMILE serves a need across a wider area welcoming families with children with special needs. Several informal weekday evening events/services gave opportunities to engage with some of the uniformed organisations that use our building, and we once again marked the Christmas season with "Carols in the Café" engaging café users in the life of the Church. This was well received, and other opportunities have been taken for similar events, for example at Harvest and Easter. The weekly ecumenical Pause for Thought service is hosted at Christchurch, and the long running monthly Melting Pot discussion group reformed into "What's it all about?" continuing to provide a place for deeper thinking about faith, ethical and world issues.
Children's and Youth work has continued to grow and develop. In addition to Messy Church and SMILES already mentioned above, the Monday toddlers' group is attracting large numbers to two sessions and Youth Hangout provides an opportunity for teenage children to 'hangout' and do the typical youth club activities plus some more contemporary opportunities. Our Children's and Youth worker continues to develop a range of external relationships and partnerships, with the engagement with two local schools proving to be especially fruitful and appreciated by teaching staff. The strong long-term partnership with the independent Dan’s Den not-for-profit soft play centre based in our premises has continued to develop and strengthen in the last year. This is especially fruitful in areas of closest strategic alignment, including hosting visits by refugee and asylum seekers, SEND provision and engagement of Dan’s Den staff with our activities.
Pastoral work took place throughout the year, with the opportunity to offer home communion to people who are housebound or mobility restricted being much appreciated. Our support for Glen Rosa, the local Methodist Home, increased while the home was without a chaplain and our minister organised a monthly ecumenical service and end of life spiritual input when possible. Support to those going through significant life-changes, including bereavement, continued, with the now annual Memorial service being held in November. Much pastoral work takes place in the context of house groups, with studies this year based on 1 Peter and a course about justice in economics. Some house group members also engaged in pastoral training. Staff and some key volunteers undertook Mental Health First Aid training.

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025**
The Church remains fully committed to outreach and sharing the good news of the Christian faith with the people of Ilkley and the surrounding area. The newly launched Faith Talk sessions linked to Messy Church/Dan's Den have continued to develop well, Grave Talk helping people to talk about matters relating to death has been run again on several occasions, and there have continued to be opportunities to greet people on The Grove as part of 'market mission'. Two people were welcomed into membership and two of the younger adults began training to become accredited Worship Leaders with classes delivered by the minister and Methodist Local Preacher. A significant aspect of the churches’ mission during this year was an influx of homeless people into Ilkley who looked for support and shelter in Christchurch. In addition, the church was visited by an increasing number of people with mental health problems. While this placed unexpected demands on several staff, everyone worked well together to develop appropriate responses. Partnerships were built with several key agencies in the surrounding area. Christchurch led in developing the partnership between these agencies and the other churches in the town.
An outward facing focus is central to our mission and ministry, both within the local community and more widely. We are pleased the external providers continue to use our premises to provide important health and well-being services to people in the local community, and the partnership with Keighley Healthy Living is now well established. Giving to mission included funds raised for Commitment for Life, Christian Aid, Action for Children, Kidz Klub Leeds, and the World Mission Fund (Methodist Women in Britain). The annual Jigsaw Festival was once again very successful, with many visitors from near and far, and raising substantial funds for Mind in Bradford and Manorlands, as well as for Christchurch.
In terms of premises, this year has not seen the same challenges as the previous year, although there are still some lingering issues to resolve on the toilets project. This has allowed some forward thinking that will lead to improvements in the foyer during next year.
The café remains an important part of the inclusion and warm welcome that is integral to the mission and ministry of the church, and we are pleased that it continues to be both busy and very much appreciated by both regular and occasional users.
Cost pressures have continued to have an impact on our operations, with high energy prices a particular challenge, along with a 10% rise in wage costs linked to an increase in the Real Living Wage. Steps are being developed to reduce costs in several areas, as well as to maximise income.
The appointment in January 2024 of an Operations Manager has proven to be a very positive development. This post, funded in part by grants from the URC Yorkshire Synod and Methodist Church, has helped place the increasingly complex operational matters of the church on a sound footing, releasing time of the Minister and lay people to increase mission and ministry.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
The Policy relates to the General Fund and includes the current account held at Barclays and Central Finance Board (CFB) deposit account. The Policy is to maintain general cash reserves equivalent to at least thirteen weeks average expenditure. The General Fund cash balances stood at £124,136 ( PY £102,636) at the 31st March 2025. Thirteen weeks average expenditure would be equivalent to approximately £67,638 (PY £71,351) based on the 2025/26 budget.
## **Income and Expenditure**
Overall income for the year was £431,862, compared to the prior year £409,862. The year on year increase was in part due to increased activity in catering and room hire.
Overall expenditure was £412,109 compared with £431,527 in 2023/24.
The General Fund net movement of funds was an increase of £11,424 after transferring to it £13,816 from Designated Funds, including £11,761 from the Christchurch Café and £2,055 from unrestricted legacies. The Christchurch Café made a surplus of £11,761 prior to transfers. The net movement in Total Funds was an increase of £19,665, comprised of an increase of £11,424 in the General Fund and £8,241 in the Legacy Fund.

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025**
## **FUTURE PLANS**
The next year is significant in that it will see a change of Minister at Christchurch. We are very grateful for all that has been achieved during the ministry of the current Minister, which included leading the church through the difficult Covid Pandemic years and working closely with the Senior Children’s, Families and Youth Worker to establish the extensive work undertaken with children and young people,
In September 2025 we will move to a period of URC ministry and are actively seeking a minister, with the Pastorate Committee leading this important work. During the transition period the Trustees will continue to build on the momentum and success of the Church, without being complacent about the significant challenges faced in the future. We look forward to working together with the new minister to develop future mission and ministry.
A reorganisation has been under development within the Methodist Circuit that will see two multi-site churches develop. Although Christchurch as an LEP is not directly involved in the legal restructuring or in the new Churches, we will continue to engage fully in the life of the Circuit.
In financial terms, whilst 2024-25 represented a good result, there are continuing cost pressures in relation to wages and IT services, as well as some important capital works. The next Quinquennial inspection is due in the summer of 2025 and may bring additional costs. Congregational financial support continues to be very generous, representing much sacrificial giving, but in general does not increase in line with inflation and other growing costs.
A Finance Strategy Group has been established to support the Treasurer and to advise the Trustees on more strategic financial matters. The move to the different financial arrangements that will apply from having URC ministry should be largely cost-neutral but will add some complexity to accounting arrangements.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The Partnership is governed by the Model Constitution for a Single Congregation Local Ecumenical Partnership adopted on the 27th May 2012 and a Sharing Agreement dated 16 June 1992 relating to the premises.
## **Organisational structure**
Christchurch, known as "Christchurch, Ilkley", is the Local Ecumenical Partnership (L.E.P) between a Methodist Church in the Wharfedale and Aireborough Circuit and a United Reformed Church (U.R.C) within the Yorkshire Synod.
The work and mission of the Charity is overseen by the Trustees who, together with the Minister, have responsibility for all aspects of the Church’s mission, ministry and operations. Some individual Trustees have responsibility for a particular area of activity or ‘Portfolio’ and are accountable for this portfolio to the Trustees. The Trustees are elected by the Congregational meeting. .
For more information about the role and work of the Charity, Church based activities and events and details of secular groups and societies using the premises, visit our website at www.christchurchilkley.org.uk.
## **Risk management**
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
There are three major risks:-
- Current levels of giving by members may not be sufficiently increased, or the budgeted levels of income from lettings or fund raising achieved, to avoid a deficit in the current financial year. This risk is increasing as we sadly lose some older members who have died.
- The Christchurch Café may not be able to contribute to the General Fund at the budgeted level.
- Non-anticipated expenditure on the building may be required or more be identified in an upcoming Quinquennial Report.
Operational and other risks, particularly in the Health and Safety area, are assessed and evaluated on an ongoing basis. This process has been strengthened by the appointment of an Operations Manager.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Christchurch Ilkley**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Christchurch Ilkley**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Christchurch Ilkley (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.

Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the accounts by s.10 (2) (a) and (C) of the Charities Act 2011.
All assets (excluding consecrated and beneficed property) acquired since 6 April 2000 have been capitalised at cost and depreciated in the accounts over their anticipated useful economic life on a straight line basis.
For assets acquired prior to 6 April 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the accounts. The Trustees are of the opinion that these assets are not material to the financial statements.
All expenditure incurred in the year, on assets under £500, is written off to resources expended
