FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
In the financial year ended 31 December 2025, Euston Church's total income was £579,352 (2024: £540,052), reflecting overall growth compared with the prior year. Income was primarily generated through donations and legacies of £535,869 (2024: £483,871), which continued to be the charity's main funding source. Investment income was of £3,070 (2024: £2,521), and other income of £40,413 (2024: £53,660), of which £9,000 was restricted funding for missionary activity and trainee support.
Total expenditure for the year was £515,873 (2024: £517,031), leaving it with net income of £63,479 (2024: £23,021). Total staff costs were £304,257 (2024: 294,035), being 59% of total expenditure (2024: 57%).
Reserves policy
As at 31 December 2025, the charity had cash at bank of £241,813 (2024: £181,811) of which £232,813 (2024: £181,811) was unrestricted. The unrestricted cash balance was equivalent to 46% of total expenditure (2024: 35%) or approximately 5 months of expenditure. The Trustees' medium-term aim is to maintain reserves sufficient to cover three months of operating costs.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
There are no material changes to Euston Church's activities contemplated in 2026.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document and nature of entity
Euston Church is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation established in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. The operation of Euston Church is governed by its constitution, adopted on 4 December 2014.
Trustees
Euston Church's constitution appoints the Trustees to manage the affairs of Euston Church and to exercise all the powers of Euston Church. New Trustees may be appointed in two ways: (1) for a term of four years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the Trustees (up to eight Trustees) (2) for a term of four years by the members of the congregation of Euston Church at an annual general meeting of the congregation of Euston Church organised by the Trustees, provided that any person so appointed is a member of the congregation of Euston Church (up to 4 Trustees). Notwithstanding the express terms of Euston Church's constitution, all Trustees' continued appointment is currently ratified at the annual general meeting of the congregation of Euston Church in each year, in accordance with the practice of the Church of England.
In considering the appointment of new Trustees, the existing Trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of Euston Church. Every Trustee must subscribe and adhere in belief and lifestyle to the Christian faith, must be a member of the congregation of the Euston Church Mission Initiative and must be willing to participate actively in that Mission Initiative.
Anyone becoming a Trustee receives a copy of Euston Church's constitution and the annual report and statement of accounts and is required to sign a statement confirming that he or she is eligible to be a Trustee and to declare any possible conflicts of interest. There are no formal procedures for the induction of Trustees. Trustees are provided with appropriate training when required and having regard to training recommended by the Church of England.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Trustees Meetings
The Trustees meet ordinarily five times a year and on an ad hoc basis when required. Trustee meetings are chaired by the Reverend Kevin Murdoch, the minister of Euston Church. The Trustees take appropriate decisions on all aspects of the operation of Euston Church. The Trustees also adopt policies to comply with legislation in the areas of health and safety, safeguarding, remuneration and conflicts of interest.
Day to day financial matters are delegated by the Trustees to Euston Church's treasurer, Kelvin Xu and its bookkeeper, Catrin Lee (until October 2025) and Amy Mullock (from November 2025). Kelvin Xu prepares an annual budget and supports the independent examination of the accounts. The Trustees have oversight of financial matters, including approval of major items of expenditure and the annual budget. Day to day ministry matters are delegated to the Reverend Kevin Murdoch, who reports on those matters to the Trustees regularly.
Risk Management
The Trustees review the major risks to which Euston Church is exposed and relies on appropriate insurance cover, as well as actively monitoring compliance with Euston Church's policies, to protect against those risks.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Euston Church
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Euston Church
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Euston Church (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by 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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The PCC meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in pound sterling (£), which is the functional currency of the charity.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the PCC's ability to continue as a going concern.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Donations and legacies are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when any pre-conditions preventing their use by the PCC have been met. For collections and planned giving this is when the funds are received.
Gift aid and other tax claims are included in the Statement of Financial Activities at the same time as the cash donations to which they relate.
Investment income is interest earned on bank deposit accounts and is included in the accounts when receivable.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Operating leases
Rentals applicable to operating leases where all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against the surplus for the year on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at costs and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation less estimated residual values of all fixed assets over their expected useful lives. It is calculated at the following rates:
Plant and machinery 20% on cost Fixtures and fittings 20% on cost Computer equipment 33.3% on cost
Consecrated and benefice property
In so far as consecrated and benefice property of any kind is excluded from the statutory definition of 'charity' by Section 10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011 such assets are not capitalised in the financial statements.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Pension contributions
Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. Amounts owed to the PCC at the year end in respect of fees, gift aid recoverable or other income are shown as debtors, less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectible.
Cash at Bank and in hand
Cash at bank and 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.
Liabilities
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charitable company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

Clergy expenses increased from £31,058 for the year ended 31 December 2024 to £52,322 for the year ended 31 December 2025, an increase of £21,264. The increase was mainly due to the cost of a new lease for a flat occupied by the Associate Minister, with the additional costs relating primarily to rent and council tax associated with the new accommodation arrangement.
Tuition fees increased from £15,239 for the year ended 31 December 2024 to £17,902 for the year ended 31 December 2025, an increase of £2,663. These costs relate to external training courses funded by Euston Church for its ministry trainees and staff.
