## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING DIRECTORS' REPORT)**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025**
The trustees, who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in submitting their Report and Accounts for the year.
## **Objects of the charity**
The charity is a charitable company and is governed by its memorandum and articles of association. The charity's principal objective, as set out in the governing document, is to advance the Christian faith. To this end the charity seeks to demonstrate the Christian faith in action by operating a church in the Bexleyheath area.
## **Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements**
The Church is not a building, but a gathering of ordinary people of different ages and backgrounds, whose lives have been changed by Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The New Testament reveals the Church as a community of people, properly taught and cared for, who by loving and serving Jesus Christ, were also committed to love and care for each other and to bring His love and message of salvation to the area in which they lived.
New Hope Church (the operating name of the legal entity - Bexleyheath Community Church), its trustees, elders and members are committed to the New Testament principles. The vision is to see the people of the borough of Bexley come into this experience of knowing Jesus as their Lord, Saviour and friend.
New Hope Church continues to utilise Lyndhurst Chapel to make the good news of Jesus Christ known in the local community. Our relationship with Slade Green Christian Fellowship has developed such that we now consider the building there to be a second site for the church's activities, although further work is required to make this an official situation.
We continue to seek make opportunities for people to experience the love of God and respond to the Gospel message through our regular Sunday meetings, a variety of mid-week meetings and at other special events organised through the church.
Without a dedicated team of volunteers from within our church community ,we would not be able to meet our objectives, so we are dependent on many of our members who give selflessly of their time in our various activities throughout the week.
We continue to work with small groups and as far as possible foster deeper community relationships including with the doctor’s surgery across the road who we welcome into our building for training and community meetings.
Our toddler group is very busy and regularly close to capacity. The older members of the community attend our G.O.D. (Growing Old Disgracefully) coffee morning which continues to flourish with new members joining.
We continue to operate a Friday Club from Slade Green Baptist Chapel, attracting a growing number of 5-9 year olds from that area.
We operate a youth (11-15s) group every other Friday also from Slade Green. This is also growing well.
Over the course of the year, the relationship has developed to the point that New Hope Church and Slade Green Christian Fellowship have agreed to become one church on two sites under the name “New Hope Church (Bexley)”. Although the two organisations are starting to operate as one for mission, meetings etc. there is still work to be done to combine both entities into one legal entity.
New Hope Church is part of the 'Regions Beyond' family of churches and we support the ideals and ministry of Regions Beyond through attendance by leaders and other church members at conferences and other meetings. We also support their work through regular financial giving to projects, both in the UK and the wider world.
The church continues to support the funding of a couple with whom we have a historic relationship from within the Catalyst sphere of churches. The couple are planting a church in Athens, Greece to work among refugee camps, the poor and sex workers there.
In planning the activities the Trustees have had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
Responsibility for setting policy and for determining the parameters within which the charity should operate and for making operating decisions rests with the Trustees who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity. New Trustees are recruited and appointed by the existing Trustees.

## **Financial review**
During the year income decreased by £8,771 to £103,880 and expenditure increased by £18,324 to £122,051. As a result the deficit for the year was £18,170 (2024: £8,618) and net assets decreased by that amount to £575,915. Net assets comprised tangible assets (principally property) with a carrying value of £483,366, cash of £94,834 less other net current liabilities of £2,285.
## **Reserves policy**
The Trustees have determined that the charity should aim to hold free reserves (defined as being unrestricted cash) of no less than £30,000 (which equates to about 3 usual month's expenditure) and no more than £120,000 (which equates to about 12 month's usual expenditure) so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely. At the year end, the charity held unrestricted cash of £89,465 and the charity is complying with its reserves policy.
## **Key risks and uncertainties**
The Trustees have reviewed the risks to which a small charity operating with one employee is exposed. Appropriate procedures are in place to identify, monitor and review these risks on a regular basis.
## **Responsibilities of Trustees under company law**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual 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 which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
1. select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
2. observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
3. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
4. state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed
and explained in the financial statements; and
5. prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will
continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable 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 charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Approval**
This report, which has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies, was approved by the Trustees and signed on their behalf by:

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF**
## **BEXLEYHEATH COMMUNITY CHURCH**
## **('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 July 2025 on pages 5 to 12 following, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 7 to 8.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also 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 your charity’s accounts as 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**
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 applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
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.

- (a) ensuring that the charitable company keeps accounting records which comply with Sections 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006 and

## **BEXLEYHEATH COMMUNITY CHURCH**
## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025**
## **1 Statutory Information**
The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
## **2 Accounting Policies**
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102"), with the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.
The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
## a) Going concern
The trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the impact of the plans to close the charitable company and transfer the assets into a new CIO. The new CIO is expected to be formed during September 2026, and all assets transferred to this new CIO. These changes will occur during the account for year end 31 July 2027, with minimal impact to the accounts for year end 31 July 2026. The charity therefore adopts the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.
## b) Income
Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.
Income from donations includes recoverable gift aid, which is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor.
The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured.
Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects. It includes income from conferences, retreats and other events and courses.
## c) Expenditure
Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity.
Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.
## d) Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.
## e) Tangible fixed assets
Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £1,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life. To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged:
Freehold property Over 50 years Fixtures, fittings and equipment Over 5 years
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025**
## **2 Accounting Policies continued**
## f) Pension scheme arrangements
- The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds.
## g) Taxation
- The company is a registered charity; it has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.
- h) Financial instruments The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive.
## i) Exemption from preparing a cashflow statement
The charity has taken advantage of an exemption conferred by the Charities SORP and has not prepared a cash flow statement.
