## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING DIRECTORS' REPORT)**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025**
The trustees, who are the charity's directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year.
## **Objects of the charity**
Our charity’s objective, as set out in the objects contained in the company’s memorandum and articles of association, is, for the public benefit, to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs in Haywards Heath and Mid Sussex and in such other parts of the United Kingdom and the world as the Trustees may from time to time think fit.
## **Governance**
Responsibility for setting policy and for making operating decisions rests with the trustees who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charitable company.
## **Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements**
To further the above objects and vision, the charity's main activities and achievements were as follows:
## Review of Activities
The charity undertakes the following activities to further this objective:
- Teaching the Bible in church services, and at other church meetings.
- Providing opportunities for prayer in many different contexts.
- Providing pastoral care and biblical counselling.
- Providing opportunities for people to investigate the Christian faith.
- Providing general support to any who need it.
A particular focus of the charity has been to serve the community within Bolnore Village, having deliberately chosen to meet there so that it might benefit from having its own church. Alongside our weekly services there, we run seven adult growth groups, and have been developing a Grace Advocacy Group to draw alongside and support those in the community that are in particular need. A number of people from the village as well as wider Haywards Heath are benefiting from other church activities too, including other adult mid-week events, a youth group and two youth camps, courses investigating and deepening the Christian faith, and evenings that specifically seek to support people in their parenting, marriages and work life.
No targets have been set regarding growth in numbers attending services or other meetings. However the elders are also encouraged by signs of spiritual growth in the church members, the number of newcomers over the last year, and high proportion of children and young people that are involved with the church.
Our plans for the future are to continue to minister to the Haywards Heath and Bolnore area through the running of services, courses, other groups and engagement with the community. We will look for further opportunities to grow in number and to deepen in faith. In particular, we are progressing plans to begin a new church that will meet in Burgess Hill from January 2026 led by our current trainee minister. This is to serve the Burgess Hill community and especially the rapidly increasing population through new developments.
Many of the activities of the church were wholly or partially run by volunteer church members. The trustees are very grateful for the dedicated service of so many church members in this regard.

## **How our activities deliver public benefit**
Our church meetings are open to all whatever their age, background or faith. We offer courses and oneoff events for those investigating the Christian faith and for those facing key challenges in life. Our youth groups and camps involve social interaction, as well as Bible study and prayer, and seek to provide wisdom to young people as they navigate the personal and cultural challenges of those years. Growth groups are held throughout the week and are open to all adults of any faith or none, providing an opportunity for Bible study, mutual support and encouragement, and prayer. Groups are run during the Sunday service for primary-aged children with games, craft activities and Christian teaching. Members of our staff team take occasional assemblies at the village primary school, help with some school activities and the running of Christian Unions in local secondary schools, and with church members are involved in the leading of the two youth and children’s camps each year. Our minister also provides some support to staff at the local primary school. Moreover, in developing the new church (church “plant”) for Burgess Hill, we are seeking to expand these different means of benefitting others into that town too.
The church’s website and YouTube channel includes resources such as sermon recordings for those who are unable to attend the Sunday services.
Pastoral care is available for anyone, whether a church member or not, who would like to discuss difficult situations in confidence with the church minister. This is advertised on the church website. Over the last year our elders have been involved in supporting those suffering difficulties with bereavement, work, financial hardship, family members, and marriage, as well as those struggling with mental illness and longer term physical illness.
Other than small charges to cover costs, no charge is made for any service provided by the church. We have been pleased to note a large number of different ages, nationalities and backgrounds continue to be represented within the church membership and those attending services.
In planning the activities the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
Responsibility for setting policy and for making operating decisions rests with the trustees who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity.
## **Financial review**
Incoming resources were £138,219 (2024: £117,902). The total resources expended for the period was £121,844 (2024: £115,045), of which £47,033 (38%) were staff-related costs (2024: £45,219 (39%)). Net funds for the year was a surplus of £16,375
Ben Read continues as our trainee minister on a four-year contract from September 2023. This is being funded by pledges alongside grant funding.

## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING DIRECTORS' REPORT)**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025**
## **Reserves policy**
The trustees have determined that the charity should aim to hold unrestricted cash of no less three months' of unrestricted expenditure (which equates to approximately £30,000) 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 £90,321 and the charity is complying with its reserves policy.
## **Risk Statement**
The Directors have reviewed the risks to which a small charity operating with few employees 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:

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF**
## **GRACE CHURCH HAYWARDS HEATH**
## **('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 6 to 14 following, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 8 to 9.
## **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.

## **GRACE CHURCH HAYWARDS HEATH**
## **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 charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its 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 only 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:
- i) Recoverable gift aid. This 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.
- ii) Donated facilities, services and goods. Goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries are recognised as income when receivable at fair value (being an estimate of the amount it would cost to purchase those items). Facilities, services and goods donated for the charity's own use are recognised as income when receivable at their value to the charity.
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.
## 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.
Page 8
## **GRACE CHURCH HAYWARDS HEATH**
## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025**
## 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 £500 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 land Is not depreciated (because it is not consumed by use) Freehold buildings Over 50 years after taking account of the building's residual value Leasehold improvements Over the lease term or, if shorter, expected useful life Equipment Over 2 to 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.
## 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. Except for loans, creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive). The charity recognises liabilities for the principal of those loans that remains outstanding at the year end (i.e. the liabilities exclude any interest chargeable on the loans in future years).
## i) Foreign currency translation
These financial statements are presented in sterling, which is the charity's functional currency.
- i) Income and expenditure denominated in a foreign currency is translated into sterling at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction.
- ii) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are re-translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date.
iii) Non-monetary assets are measured at historic cost at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction and are not subsequently re-translated.
All differences arising from the application of the above policy are charged (or credited) to the Statement of Financial Activities.
## j) 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.
## k) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
The trustees do not consider that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.

The church supports missionaries in the UK and internationally. Where a particular missionary has been supported by the church for a number of years, strict compliance with the Charities' Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) may suggest some arrangements as constituting constructive obligations such that future years' support is accounted for in these accounts as a liability. Whilst the support has no final end date in some cases, the church officers assess missionary funding on an annual basis and are confident that they have not communicated a specific commitment nor would missionaries view their support as openended obligations by the church.
