AMiE Annual Report and Unaudited Financial Statements – Year ended 31 October 2025

Anglican Mission in England

Trustees’ Report For the year ended 31 October 2025

The trustees (who are also the Directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are pleased to present their annual directors’ report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 October 2025 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (“Charities SORP”) (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland; FRS 102) issued in October 2019.

Structure, governance, and management

The Anglican Mission in England (‘AMiE’ or the ‘Mission’), was incorporated on 15 May 2014 and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. Its legal status is that of a company limited by guarantee. It has no share capital and the liability of each member in the event of winding-up is limited to £1. The company became registered as a charity on 25 May 2014, with charity number 1158679.

AMiE was recognised as a Convocation by Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) in December 2020. A Convocation is another term for a Diocese-in-Formation. This healthy structure will enable fruitful mission. AMiE is part of the Anglican Network in Europe (ANiE), which was itself authorised as an Anglican structure in 2020 by the Archbishops of Gafcon.

Following agreement from GAFCON, a resolution was passed by the company members in June 2023 to change AMiE’s status from a Convocation to a Diocese. The governing document was amended to reflect this change.

Board

AMiE is governed by its members who meet annually as a Synod. They in turn elect a Board, comprising trustees (voting members of the Board) and non-voting members. Operational activities are delegated to the Executive Team, and a panel of bishops provides oversight and encouragement for the ministers in AMiE’s churches.

Trustees retire by rotation every three years and may submit themselves for re-election. New or replacement trustees are appointed following regular review of the skills requirements on the Board.

Trustee changes were as follows from 1 November 2024 to the signing of the accounts: RT Revd Andrew Lines Resigned 22 March 2025 Revd Timothy Iles Appointed 8 September 2025

No trustee was remunerated for their services as a trustee during or subsequent to the year. Out-ofpocket expenses may be claimed by all trustees when they are engaged on AMiE activities.

Executive Team

The Executive Team comprises people who are appointed by the trustees to lead the activities of the Mission. These activities are Planting, Strengthening, Ordination, Membership, Women’s Ministry and Operations.

There are currently eight members of the Executive Team overseeing these six activity areas, including AMiE’s Operations Managers, which is one of two directly employed roles within the Mission. This role was filled during the year by Tom Hutton and Jo Bull. The second directly employed role is that of Diocesan Bishop which began in December 2025 and is filled by Tim Davies, who now acts as Chair for the Executive Team. AMiE reimburses the employers of other members of the Executive Team for those Team members’ time spent on AMiE activities. Out-of-pocket expenses may be claimed by all Executive Team members when they are engaged on Mission activities.

Executive Team changes were as follows from 1 November 2024 to the signing of the accounts:

Mrs Lesley Flecknell
Appointed 16 September 2025

Objects

AMiE’s objects, as an Anglican mission, are specifically restricted to the advancement of the Christian faith for the benefit of the public in particular but not exclusively by:

The Christian faith is defined in article 2 of the Articles of Association.

In shaping the Mission’s objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Overview of Activities

The Anglican Mission in England (AMiE) is a Bible-hearted diocese committed to starting and strengthening churches for the salvation of many and the glory of God.

We are a fellowship of churches devoted to sharing God’s Word with the many nations who live in England. Our conviction is that God transforms lives as the Bible is heard. We believe the Father works to make disciples of Jesus by changing hearts through the power of the Holy Spirit as Christians hold out the Scriptures.

Achievements in the year

Throughout the year, AMiE has continued to welcome new churches and identify future church leaders.

Since its incorporation the Mission’s stated goal has been to see 25 AMiE Churches by 2025, and 250 by 2050. Under God, these targets are being pursued by pioneering new churches, recruiting future leaders for ordination, and by welcoming existing Anglican churches in England to join AMiE. At 31 October 2025, the network included 30 Member Churches and 6 Pioneer Churches.

In March 2025, AMiE churches were asked to complete an Annual Partnership Form providing insights into the day to day running of the church along with data on church attendance. Another survey will be conducted in March 2026.

In order to help grow this network of churches, as indicated above, the Executive Team includes individuals responsible for leading Planting, Ordination, Membership, Strengthening, Women’s Ministry and Operations. Assisted by a panel of AMiE bishops, who serve by overseeing and pastoring AMiE Church ministers, the Trustee Board is confident that this structure will provide appropriate support to the expanding network.

In March 2025, AMiE held its annual conference. The theme of the conference was ‘Living Temples’ and it provided an invaluable opportunity for church ministers and those involved in leading churches to network together and be equipped for their ministries. The conference was also attended by several people who are interested in joining AMiE. They were able to meet with people and gain further information about the network and what membership entails. The next conference will take place in March 2026.

This year AMiE was able to hold its fourth hybrid (in-person and online) Synod gathering where lay and clergy reps from all AMiE churches got together to make strategic decisions about how best to further AMiE’s charitable objects. It was a hugely encouraging day where attendees celebrated God’s grace and provision over the past year and looked forward to the future.

The key resolution passed was that Synod accepted the recommendation made by the Bishop Selection Committee to joyfully appoint Tim Davies as Diocesan Bishop. This appointment happened following an installation service in November 2025 and employment starting in December 2025.

Plans for future years

AMiE will continue to fulfil its objects as described above, by God’s grace pursuing ongoing growth in the number of AMiE Churches and, specifically, planting churches and training gospel ministers. There are a number of people actively engaging with the Executive Team about the possibility of planting new AMiE Churches or getting ordained, with a smaller number exploring bringing an existing local church into the AMiE network.

Following on from consultation with Synod, the Trustees have been working to develop AMiE’s vision, goals and strategy in order to support the broad range of activities across AMiE and to secure the substantial funding which will be required. This vision will be finalised in early 2026 and implementation will begin.

Centrally, AMiE will continue to support its local churches, for example by providing policies and advice on church planting, safeguarding, financial and HR matters.

The trustees are satisfied that the Mission has been appropriately structured to support its current activities.

Financial Review

The net increase in unrestricted funds in the year was £26,429 (2024: net increase of £71,641).

At the year end, unrestricted fund reserves were £107,194 (2024: £80,765), and restricted fund reserves were £41,032 (2024: £20,124).

Along with a number of individuals and trusts, during the year AMiE Churches and AMiE Supporting Churches were the main source of funds for the Mission’s ongoing activities. As noted above, AMiE’s ambitious growth goals will require substantial funding.

Reserves policy

AMiE has a policy to hold its free reserves (defined as General Fund net current assets) within a range of three to six months’ budgeted General Fund expenditure. At 31 October 2025 this represented a range of £40,000 to £80,000. Actual free reserves at 31 October 2025 were £107,194 (2024: £80,765), this is higher than the target range. These funds will be used in the coming months as we look to fund strategic appointments to help further the work and vision of AMiE.

Anglican Mission in England

Notes to the accounts For the year ended 31 October 2025

1 Accounting Policies

(a) General

Anglican Mission in England is a charitable company in the United Kingdom limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event that the charity is wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities: 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have taken advantage of the exemption to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

Anglican Mission in England meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to the accounts. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and are rounded to the nearest £.

(b) Revenue recognition

Income is recognised when the organisation has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income received in advance of an event is deferred until that event takes place.

(c) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

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.

Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty as to the timing of the grant.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

(d) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

(e) Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

(f) Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(g) Funds

Unrestricted funds are donations and other income receivable or generated for the objects of the organisation without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.

Designated funds are funds set aside at the discretion of the trustees for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the funder.

(h) Taxation

As a charity, Anglican Mission in England is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within the available tax exemptions to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects. No tax charges have arisen in the Charity.

(i) Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
