Objectives and activities

The Church has taken a proactive and responsible approach to its mission by drawing upon the valuable insights and principles outlined in the charity commission's general guidance on public benefit. In reviewing its aims and objectives, as well as in the strategic planning of future activities, the Church has regarded this guidance as a foundational resource.

The Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit serves as a comprehensive framework that assists charitable organisations in aligning their missions with the broader welfare of the community. By referencing this guidance, the Church ensures that its goals and purposes are not only legally compliant but also centred on maximising positive outcomes for the public it serves.

In practical terms, this means that the Church has examined its missions, activities, and future plans through the lens of public benefit. It has assessed how its initiatives contribute to the well-being and advancement of the community, ensuring that each endeavour is designed with the intent to genuinely and effectively benefit those it serves.

Furthermore, this approach reflects the Church's commitment to transparency and accountability. By incorporating the Charity Commission's guidance, the Church demonstrates its dedication to upholding the highest ethical standards in its operations and decision-making processes. This commitment extends to all stakeholders, including its congregation, donors and the broader public, who can have confidence in the Church's commitment to providing genuine and meaningful benefits to the community it serves.

The main objectives of the Charity are as follows:

  1. To advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs as set out in the schedule attached to the Memorandum and Articles.

  2. To help relieve sickness through prayer, and relieve financial hardship and promote and preserve good health by the provision of short term interest free loans, meals or services of any kind including through the provision of counselling and support.

  3. To promote community facilities for educational, recreational and other leisure time occupation in the interests of social welfare for persons who have need by reason of their youth, poverty or social or economic circumstances with the idea of improving their lives.

Achievements and performance

Despite the enduring challenges faced by our Church and community as we grappled with the farreaching effects post pandemic and the rising cost of living crisis, our unwavering commitment to reaching out and serving as many individuals as possible remained steadfast. Some of our notable accomplishments comprise:

  1. We had 'picnic in the park' in the community to engage with more people.

  2. Continued development of the youth choir, encouraging young people to use their musical gifts

  3. Continued our 'BETTER TOGETHER' initiative for marriages. Ongoing Bible study and discipleship programmes to deepen members’ understanding of

  4. Scripture and Christian living.

  5. Engaged more men with our monthly Men2Men devotion sessions.

The Board of Trustees is deeply dedicated to ensuring the financial stability of our organisation. One critical aspect of this commitment is the monthly mortgage payment for our facility. By covering this expense reliability and consistently, we secure a stable physical space for our operations. This not only provides a base for our activities but also demonstrates our fiscal responsibility to our stakeholders, ensuring the longevity of our mission and services.

We are meticulous in our adherence to legal and financial regulations. To maximise the impact of donations, we have made sure that all necessary declarations for Gift Aid have been appropriately filed. This ensures that we can claim Gift Aid on eligible donations, effectively increasing the value of these contributions. By doing so, we make the most of our supporters' generosity, allowing us to allocate more resources to our charitable activities.

Ensuring the stability of our ministry is a top priority. To achieve this, we have proactively established and continue to grow financial reserves. These reserves serve as a financial safety net, safeguarding the organisation against unexpected expenses or fluctuations in income. Building these reserves allows us to maintain the day-to-day operations of our ministry without interruption, ensuring the reliability and consistency of our services.

Our dedication to fulfilling our mission drives us to seek out additional sources of funding. We actively research and apply for various grants that align with our goals and objectives. These grants can provide essential financial support for specific projects or initiatives, allowing us to expand our outreach, enhance the quality of our services, and reach new milestones in the pursuit of our ministry's purposes. This diversified funding approach ensures our ability to meet the evolving needs of our community while maintaining financial stability.

Reserves policy

The Charity's policy on reserves is that the Charity builds and holds sufficient funds to cover the running cost of the ministry, which should be 5% of the income per year.

Availability and adequacy of fund assets

The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.

Small company provisions

The company has taken advantage of the small companies' exemption in preparing the report above.

This report was approved by the Trustees on 19 November 2025 and signed on its behalf.

Shekinah Shur Ministries Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 January 2025

1 Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts.

The accounts 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) (Charities SORP (FRS102)) and with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and with the Charities Act 2011.

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 40a Jessops Lane, Gedling, Nottingham, NG4 4BQ.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Recognition of income

Grants and donations

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met. In the case of performance related grants, income is only recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met.

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.

Donated goods

Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so.

The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.

Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'.

Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.

9

Shekinah Shur Ministries Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 January 2025

Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable.

Volunteer help

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the notes below.

Expenditure and liabilities

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Governance and support costs

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Grants payable

Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.

Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:

Freehold buildings Nil depreciation Fixtures, fittings, tools and equipment 25% reducing balance basis Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance basis

The church building, which was purchased in 2020, will have a quinennial review, the first one being in the year 2025. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation will be recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation will be recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to the extent to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

The review has not yet been undertaken; however, the client is aware of this requirement and will ensure that it is completed in due course.

Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.

10

Shekinah Shur Ministries Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 January 2025

Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.

Pensions

Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate.
