We are diverse, but unity is our greatest strength. We learn together from God and from each other, and we are creating a family atmosphere where we can grow and thrive together.** C h a r i t y N u m b e r : 1 1 4 9 3 2 3 H a r e f i e l d C h u r c h A n n u a l R e p o r t a n d A c c o u n t s f o r 2 0 2 6 P a g e **3** ## **Annual Report** for the year ended 31 March 2026 The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2026. ## **Aim and Purposes** Harefield Church is a body of believers where we demonstrate that faith and life in the 21[st] century are inextricably linked. We are a steadily growing church where people of all ages, generations and backgrounds are not only welcome, but highly valued. From the youngest to the oldest we are continually reminded that we can always learn from each other, and it becomes evident to anyone visiting our church that we are creating a friendly atmosphere where we can grow and prosper as a family together. Our desire, in line with Biblical teaching, is to see our church becoming a successful congregation, impacting our town in ways that are unmistakable through our worship and witness with a group of people who are convinced, committed and dedicated to God through His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus told us that He did not come into the world to condemn it, but that we are to share His love with everyone, everywhere so that they can find forgiveness in Him. Harefield's purpose is to enable and equip each of us to use the gifts God has given us to accomplish His mission in the places we live, work, and play. ## **Objectives and Activities** Harefield Church is committed to carrying out its activities in line with the Christian tradition which was established originally two millennia ago, and locally over 70 years ago in Harlow, to encourage people to take part in the fullness of church life. We believe that God has made us for a purpose, and has designed us to live life in community with others. Getting involved will mean we get the most out of church life and deepen our own relationships with God and other people as a result. A great number of our members are fully involved in the life of the church and volunteering time with community projects. Our activities support our objectives: - To advance the Christian faith for the benefit of the public; - The prevention or relief of poverty and hardship as the trustees may from time to time see fit by providing grants, items and service to individuals in need and/or charities, or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty; - To promote and fulfil such charitable purposes beneficial to the community as the trustees may from time to time think fit.

To touch and transform the lives of people with the love and truth of Jesus and the Father through the work and inspiration of the Holy Spirit. ## **Public benefit** Harefield Church undertakes a range of activities with regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for advancement of religion. We are pleased and grateful to report again that this past year has been one of continued growth. Our services, children and youth groups have continued to expand develop and flourish with all ages catered for with age and ability differentiated schemes of teaching and activity, and the drop-in centre and Parent and toddler group continue to grow and meet the needs of the attendees. ## **Sunday services** Our Sunday services continue to be well attended and grow. We have had the pleasure once again to see people come to know God personally and being baptised. During the year we continue to give thanks for the blessing of having members from many ethnic backgrounds, which brings a wonderful richness to the loving fellowship among us. It has been of great encouragement to recognize many more members as preachers of the Word of God, some of whom have never spoken in public before. This has been welcomed by the members and has been a wonderful encouragement to us at present and as a foundation for the future. We have continued to hold many social events, such as, breakfasts, bring and share lunches and these have been enthusiastically attended. Our youth work is a key part of our church strategy and we continue to attract young families to Harefield. Again we had the joy of seeing YC, our teenagers group, leading more of our Sunday services and also becoming engaged in other aspects of the church, leading and playing for our worship services ## **Children and youth ministries** Our Sunday children’s work continues to grow and develop. We maintain three Sunday groups for children across an age range of 3 to 12 years old. These groups have continued to grow again with new families joining the church and, of course, children growing and moving through the groups. The teenage group, YC, continues to meet on Sunday and on Wednesday evenings during the week. It is of great encouragement to us that there are a majority of young men in this group. As the group has grown, they have continued to lead Sunday services with their musicians. We continue to hold more than three youth services a year. We have held a Youth Alpha course during the year.

The group is continually growing with up to 50+ children, parents and carers coming regularly. This group is run completely by volunteers from the church. Jelly Tots is provided entirely free of charge to the community. ## **Maybury Open Door** On each Thursday, Maybury Open Door, part of the Michael Roberts Charitable Trust (MRCT), uses the church for a drop-in centre focusing on a wide range of adults including the elderly, people with a disability, homeless, isolated people and others who just need to venture out and meet new friends. The centre seeks to promote the ability of people, and to encourage them to take an active role. There has a seen a steady growth in their clients and the charity makes no charge to the community or MRCT. ## **Courses** We have run another Alpha course led by a talented team. Alpha is a worldwide accepted and proven programme, devised by Holy Trinity, Brompton Church, and has gained widespread approval. The course gives an opportunity to find out more about the Christian faith. Our ‘Coffee Connect’ groups continue to grow and more groups have been formed. Alongside this our outreach team continues their ministry in the town and are out on many Saturdays sharing the gospel. ## **Small groups** Our growing Coffee Connect groups meet regularly during week gathering for fellowship, prayer, bible study and discussion. These help with discipling in the Christian faith and provide pastoral care. ## **Other organisations** Other organisations use our facilities on a regular basis, such as, Great Open Door which is a schools ministry serving the schools in Harlow and the surrounding area by providing Christian assemblies and teaching Religious Education. They use our facilities for rehearsing, training and meetings. Harefield Church is used as a Polling Station for local and national elections. ## **Building and facilities** Maintenance and upkeep is ongoing and ably managed by our Deacons. Work days have been held through the year that have made improvements to our facilities. Our audio visual systems and screens for presentations in many of the works of the church have been upgraded. Our church buildings continue to be a huge blessing to us as a fellowship and to the wider public in the area. C h a r i t y N u m b e r : 1 1 4 9 3 2 3 H a r e f i e l d C h u r c h A n n u a l R e p o r t a n d A c c o u n t s f o r 2 0 2 6 P a g e **6** ## **Church Polices** Health and Safety Policies, Safeguarding Policy, 'Use of Building' guidelines and Risk Assessments are reviewed on a regular basis by the charity's staff, Deacons and Trustees. As part of our safeguarding policy we subscribe to thirtyone:eight for external support and advice. ## **Supporting other organisations** Members of the church also volunteer with other organisations in Harlow, such as, Great Open Door, Harlow Foodbank and ‘Bump to Five’. With the experience that we have available to us amongst our staff and volunteers the charity has been able to provide help with advice and assistant in specific areas, such as, finance, publicity, administration and volunteer support. Harefield Church is a member of the Evangelical Alliance, with which we share our basis of faith, and we are a supporter of Heart 4 Harlow. ## **Marketing** Our main vehicle for creating awareness of Harefield Church is through our website www.harefieldchurch.org. Alongside this we have our regular Mailchimp newsletters. We continue to use ‘ChurchSuite’. This provides processes and functionality for the church, such as, electronically registering of children attending groups via their App, names and addresses of members, rotas and events calendar. . ## **Volunteers** In order to run our activities along with our staff we have an amazing body of volunteers that serve faithfully and enthusiastically in line with the encouragement of scripture. More than 60 individuals serve in various ways in our church and community life, such as, facilities maintenance, children’s groups, musicians, catering, technical and media. There are roles where everyone, as part of the church, are encouraged to help and serve. ## **Financial Review** During the year, total incoming resources amounted to £86,661 (2025: £81,946). The primary component related to general donations to the church. This is an 6% increase this year in income. Expenditure totaled £70,385 (2025: £79,774). The charity therefore had a surplus of £16,276 (2025: £2,172). Over the past year, we have strengthened our financial resilience by managing our reserves in line with our Reserves Policy. We have been able to increase our bank balances from £3,797 at 31 March 2025 to £17,909 at 31 March 2026. This improvement means we are now better placed to respond to unforeseen challenges, safeguard our ongoing projects, and invest in opportunities that further our charitable mission. To monitor the financial situation of the charity we produce a monthly finance report issued to the Trustees, staff and key volunteers.

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiners statement** 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 charity 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.

General information** The charity is a public benefit entity and a charity registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Harefield Church, Momples Road, Harlow, CM20 3EH ## **2. Statement of Compliance** These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', and the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) ## **3. Accounting policies** ## Basis of preparing the financial statements and assessment of going concern The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. They are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. ## Going concern The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties around the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ## Income Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. ## Expenditure Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. C h a r i t y N u m b e r : 1 1 4 9 3 2 3 H a r e f i e l d C h u r c h A n n u a l R e p o r t a n d A c c o u n t s f o r 2 0 2 6 P a g e **14** ## Debtors Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. ## Cash at bank and in hand Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. ## Creditors Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. ## Financial instruments The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method. ## Funding accounting Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future projects or commitments. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds. ## Tangible assets Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. ## Depreciation Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: - Fixtures and fittings - 20% on cost C h a r i t y N u m b e r : 1 1 4 9 3 2 3 H a r e f i e l d C h u r c h A n n u a l R e p o r t a n d A c c o u n t s f o r 2 0 2 6 P a g e **15** No depreciation is charged in respect of freehold land and buildings as the residual value of the property after its estimated useful life is anticipated to be at least the carrying value of the property shown in the financial statements. ## Taxation The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. ## **4.
