REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The Directors have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The financial statements comply with the Cliarities Act 201 I, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles
of Association, and Accounting Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities
preparing their account5 in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards for Smaller Entities in the UK and
Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective l January 2015).
Objects of the Charity
Tl)e trust seeks to demonstrate the Christian faith in action by being a Church in the Rugeley area.
Government
The policy and operating decisions of the cliarity rest with the Directors who tneet regularly to monitor the aGtivitie5
of tlie Coinpany.
New trustees are appointed by the board in collaboration with the Church leadership.
Revlew of Activities
The year was a new chapter for Rugeley Community Cliurch. with a new Pastor, whilst also building on tlie history of
So y¢ars as a Church. Chris Fielding. wlio had been Centre Manager since 2019, took on the Pastor role from January
2024.
It was a year of slrengthening foundations, both as an organisation and spiritually through teaching and a clearer
ViSiL)n. This vision lias united us with purpose and determination to explore what it is to be a Church and our role in
Rugeley. Our vision, based on our name, is to see Ru8eLey revivcd to know Jesus, community reslored to what Jesus
modelled, and church rcfonned to who Jesu5 says slic is. This is infonning all our teaching, activities and priorities.
This has included expository preaching on Matthew's gospel throughout the year, teaching on various key subjects, an
Alpha course, the Bible Course, the Romans course, continuation of s¢veral midweek fellow51iip gTOUPS. quartcrly
team leader meetings. scveral social events to build relationships, closer working with other churches and seeing many
people step up to offer their time and skills.
It was also a year of building on our hard work as trustees to Steward well everything that God has given us. This
included introducing a quarterly reporting system across all teams, some new policies, tigl)tening up on Centre
security, improving on risk management, welcoming on board a new trustee (to Start in January 2025) and our
governance work being recognised at a Trussell Trust regional event as being exemplary. It also included making
some bi8 dccisions on fmances to bring spending in line with income, particularly for th¢ operation of the Centre.
Thi5 included cut5 to spending and sadly making the Operations Manager post redundant after a very careful and
prayerful decision-making process. Tlie key responsibilities and duties w¢r¢ spread out across th¢ other roles and
workload is being reviewed regularly to ensure it is sustainable. We are confident it will lielp us steward die Centre for
the long tenn, where we can cover all running costs from Centre income.
The Centre thrived through tlie year. with our busiest year for paid hire bookings and free use by essential local
services. This included our weekly lunch club. the weekly gentle exercise, CAB drop-in, mental health support, debt
advic4 indoor sports. art activities, perfortning arts, children's activities, baby clinics, addiction suppor¢ bereavement
support and miich more. This will be further enhanced in early 2025 by the arrival of a temporary community banking
hub in tlie Centre while a perinanent location is arranged in the town centre.
After several years of increased demand for our Foodbank services, we are encouraged to see a 30 % d¢creas¢ on 2023
figures. We trust tliat this is partly due to our work in developing fruitful Telationships with many key agencies to help
people stay out of crisis. There is still a huge need, reflected in giving out 19,813kg of food and toiletries, which
Iielped 2,044 people (1,168 adults and 876 children).

We celebrated thc amazing contribution of Dave Webb, who retired from his Building Manager post of 9 years and
were pleased to successfully recruit to his position. We are so grateful to our staff and all our volunteers who have
worked so hard. We were also excited to finish a complets overhaul of the website to launch at the start of 2025 and to
receive a Support Staffordshir¢ award rccognising our partnership working with local authorities.
Financial Revxew
Income for the year was £236.402. Expenses for the same period were £238,707 resulting in a deficit of £2,305.
Reseryes Policy
The B0￿d of Directors have established a policy whcrcby free reserves held by the charity should be maintained at
between 3 and 6 znonths of normal monthly Churcli expenditure.
Risk Statement
Thc Directors have reviowed the risks to which a small charity operating with few employees is cxposed. Appropriate
pmcedures are in place to identify, monitor and review these risks on a regular b&sis.

RUGELEY COMMUNrrY CHURCH LIMITED
I have examined the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 on pages 5 to 10 following, which have
been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on page 7.
Respective R￿pOnsIbIlitieS of Directors l Trustees 2nd Eiaminer
The Directors / Trustees of the company are responsible for the preparation of accounts. they consider that
the audit requirements under section 144 (2) of the charities Act 201 I do not apply but that an Independent
Examination is needed. I have been appointed to conduct an Independent Examination required by section
145 of the Charities Act 201 l and to report in accordance with the regulations made under section 145 of
that act. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts, without perforn]ing an audiL and to report to the
trustees.
Having satisfied rnyself that the company is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for
independent cxamination. it is my rcsponsibility to:
l. Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charitics Act 2011.
2. Follow the proccdures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under
section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 201 I;
3. State wh¢ther particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of Examiner's Statement
This report is in respect of an examination carried out under section 145 of the Cliarities Act 2011, and in
accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commissioners, An examination includes a
review of the accounting records kept by the charity, and a comparison of the accounts presented with those
records. It also includes a review of the accounts and making such enquiries as are necessary for the purpose
of this report, The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audiL
and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view, and the report
is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Examiner's Statement
Based on my examination. no matter has come to my attention which gives me a reasonable cause to believe
that in any material respect, accounting records have not been kept in accordance with section 386 of the
Companies Act 2006, or that the accounts presented do not accord with those records. or comply with the
accounting requircments of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities SORP (FRS 102). No
mattcr has come to my notice in connection with my examination to which, in my opinion, attention should
be drawn to cnable a proper undeisL2nding of the accounts.
