**Name Office** (if any)
**Dates in office if not for the whole year**
Timothy Turner Elder
Elaine Salmon Deacon and Secretary Philip Evans Deacon and Treasurer Veronica Johnson Deacon
## **Structure and governance**
Beacon Evangelical Church is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with voting members other than its charity trustees and is regulated by a constitution.
Trustees are elected by the members of the church and together constitute the “Leadership Team” of the church. Within the Leadership Team, there are Elders who are responsible for the spiritual and pastoral care of the members and Deacons who assist the Elders in their duties.
The trustees meet on a monthly basis to consider the spiritual and pastoral affairs of the church and on a quarterly basis to manage matters requiring financial and procedural decisions.
The church is a founder member of the Charity, Handsworth and District Christian Outreach also known as Hands Outstretched, a collaboration between local churches for the advancement of the Christian faith.
## **Objects**
The church’s objects, for the public benefit, are to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Faith detailed in the church’s constitution.
To this end, the Leadership Team is committed to enabling the members of the church to communicate the Christian gospel with as many people as possible. This is understood to take place verbally and also by practical demonstration of God’s love through compassionate care for members of the community, the provision of services from the base of the church building on Sandwell Road and through the members’ lifestyle within the community.
In overseeing and developing the activities of the church, the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.

## **Activities**
The activities of the church are open to the public.
**Worship -** Our theme for 2025 was our ‘Year of the Knowledge and the fear of the Lord’. The church holds one service of worship each Sunday. Members are encouraged to participate in running the service, building their faith and growing their confidence and skills. Our services were live streamed to YouTube during 2025. This maintained links with those who cannot leave their homes for reasons of health and vulnerability but has also strengthened our connection with many people we might not otherwise have met.
## **Prayer**
The church continued to meets weekly on a Friday, to pray as well as having a week of prayer in January and July, with meetings every evening. During our weeks of prayer we often walked the local streets praying for our neighbourhood, getting to know people and sharing our faith with them. An ‘Intercessors’ prayer group met weekly.
## **Bible Study**
The church provides Bible Study through weekly Fellowship Groups, one-off studies and by studying a theme or Bible book in the Sunday Service. In Sunday services during 2025, amongst other subjects we studied ‘The Gifts of The Holy Spirit’.
## **Fellowship groups**
The church runs several small groups on weekday evenings for study of the Bible, to develop individual Christian faith and engage in community outreach. From time to time, groups run events to bring the community together and explain the Christian faith. At the end of 2025 there were four evening groups, including a group run and attended by young adults.
## **Children and young people**
- The church runs a **Sunday Club** for children from Year 1 to 11, teaching Bible knowledge and explaining the Christian faith. We also provide a creche during Sunday services.
- The **12+** group for young people in year 7 to mid-teens, meets fortnightly for games and topical study, once a month for a physical activity in the community, such as climbing, bowling etc.
- Our young people and children are encouraged to take part in ‘Family Services’ once a month and sometimes lead the whole service.
## **Food bank**
The church continued to support The Handsworth Food Bank, a Trussell Trust Food Bank based locally, providing funds, food and volunteers to staff the food bank.
## **Sisters of Strength Women’s group (SOS)**
Sisters of Strength is a women’s group which met during the year for evenings of worship, teaching and celebration.

## **Beacon Brothers Together**
Brothers Together is an informal group for men, which meets for meals and seeks to support men in the church and outside, in putting their faith into action. It also operates as a support network for men via social media. The Beacon Brothers Together organised the Mother’s Day Service in 2025.
## **Safe Families**
The church had one volunteer helping with the Safe Families charity during 2025.
## **Staffing and safeguarding**
**Full time** Our new full-time Community Development and Outreach Leader **Community** completed his first full calendar year with us and was instrumental in **Development &** starting six new ventures in 2025. He has continued to assist our **Outreach** vision to be more outward looking, to take the good news of Jesus to **Leader** our community in word and compassionate action to help the most vulnerable.
Apart from this role and one part-time cleaner, our activities are organised and staffed by volunteers. It was estimated that in 2024, on average, 91 volunteer hours per week were contributed, the equivalent to 2.4 full time workers. Although not yet updated, having started six new weekly community groups in 2025 (see below), we are expecting the number of volunteer hours to be a lot more.
The church’s safeguarding officer ensures that those working with children and vulnerable adults are selected, trained, checked and supervised in accordance with the church’s safeguarding policy.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **Advancement of the Christian Faith**
As explained above, the Object of the Church, for the public benefit, is to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Faith. For many this might be seen simply as the provision of worship services, prayer and Christian teaching. However, our ethos recognises that the Christian faith encompasses all aspects of life, so that Christians share their faith both verbally but also by practical demonstration of God’s love through compassionate care for members of the community. This is demonstrated in the way we measure achievement and performance, as below, in accordance with the Church’s Objects.
## **Sunday Worship**
The church livestreamed 49 Sunday Services via YouTube (as it did in 2024), allowing members who are housebound, working shifts, sick or away, to remain connected and even take part through the YouTube Live Chat facility. Service videos remain available after the event, allowing new people to connect with us. Family members and people with past connections have also watched after the event.

2025 Beacon Evangelical Church Trustees Annual Report
The number of adults attending Sunday Worship in person was 44, on average in 2025 (41 in 2024). A peak of around 13 people watched live (13 in 2024) and 62 unique viewers watched each service in total live and post livestream combined. Online numbers include host users who interact with those online. **106** The total number of people joining **Adults** in with our Sunday Services in **attended** some way during 2025 average **Sunday** 106, compared to 112 in 2024. **Worship onsite** This involved a massive **or online** commitment of energy, creativity
and volunteer hours from both our Sunday Technical and Worship teams.

The church also conducted two baby dedications, and 2 adult baptisms in 2025. We also played host to other churches who requested to use our baptistry for adult baptisms.
Four new members were welcomed in 2025 and one was removed, giving a membership of 75 people at the end of 2025 (72 at the end of 2024). As in 2024, we have maintained a much more active membership than previously.
## **Strengthening the Church**
## **Discipleship Course**
Two discipleship courses were held in 2025 and trained 9 people. These consisted of 6 weekly sessions each and gave opportunity to study the basics of Christian faith, doctrine and practice in more detail.

2025 Beacon Evangelical Church Trustees Annual Report
## **Children and young people**
The total number of children and young people attending Sunday Club remained the same during 2025, varying from around 8 up to 15. We ran a creche during our Sunday morning services and had several babies in attendance.
Our 12+ group had 9 children who became too old for the group in September 2025 and was initially left with 4 new members. Meeting fortnightly, they continued to mix community activities such as climbing, 5-a-side football, watching a play at the theatre one week with indoor activities, games, crafts, cooking in the church building. The group will regularly have moments of reflection of the Christian faith. The 12+ group expanded as the Autumn term proceeded. The plan was to create a new 16+ group for the older teenagers.
The 12+ group had a weekend away in Criccieth, North Wales in July, for some, their first encounter with walking in the countryside and having the freedom to play on a UK beach.
One of our members ran a summer holiday club for children onsite, ‘Refocus for Kids’. Mainly for non-church children and funded by Birmingham Children’s Centre, via the Prison Link Charity.
## **Beauty in diversity month**
To coincide with Black History Month, the church designated October as ‘Beauty In Diversity’
month. On successive Sundays the service reflected different cultural groups found amongst its members and community. In dress code, music, visiting speakers, language and
traditions, we celebrated one another’s cultures. We had a Caribbean Sunday, an Asian Sunday and an African Sunday, inviting members of our community to take part and celebrate with us.
The last Sunday in October crowned the whole month with a Beauty in Diversity Sunday, bringing our many cultures,
languages and worship styles together. We were joined by speakers and musicians from other parts of the UK also. This was a vibrant and exciting month for all of us.

## **The Beacon Centre Project**
This incorporates the **Beacon Centre Building Project** and our **Beacon Community Project** .
## **Beacon Centre Building Project**
The Beacon Centre Building Project aims to rebuild the premises in Sandwell Road to better facilitate our vision to serve the community and give more space for services of worship. The general vision includes expanding or providing for the first time some of the following services:
- counselling and support to address mental health needs
- facilities and support for parents with young children
- signposting and language learning to support incomers
- a place for young people to belong, learn and play
- a place for older people to socialise and obtain help
## **Three phases planned**
Our Architects helped us devise a structure for the building project, in three phases:
Phase 1 Prepare - building some retaining walls and the drainage connection to the Severn Trent system, along with fulfilling some of the essential planning conditions.
Phase 2 Build the main two-storey part of the building at the front of the site whilst retaining and using the old building during the build.
Phase 3 Demolish the old building and build the final part of the Beacon Centre in its place, whilst using the Phase 2 building for most activities.
PHASE 1 **of our** During 2025 we continued to prepare for the initial building work planned **building** for Phase 1, which we had begun in 2024. Work was carried out to **project** complete our response to 15 of the 32 planning conditions we had been **continued** given by the Local Authority’s Planning Department, which had to be discharged before commencement of any work.
Our plan was to submit these to the Local Authority early in 2026. The aim was to give enough time for these conditions to be discharged in time to make a ‘meaningful start’ to the Phase 1 work before the expiry of our planning permission in July of 2026.

## **Beacon Community Project**
This project runs alongside the Building Project and incorporates our existing services – i.e. Drop-in days, Food Bank support, individual and family support, 25:35 fund and partnership with the Birmingham City Mission (BCM) for the Christmas Toylink project. Our Community Development Leader has responsibility for developing new community outreach services regardless of the status of the building project.
## **Drop-in Days**
In 2025 our fortnightly Wednesday Community ‘drop-in day’ has continued to be popular, attracting 20 to 30 people, most of whom we have never met before and who would not have come to the church for a service. This is helping us learn about the needs and aspirations of our community as we look to develop the new Beacon Centre. Some of those who come to the Drop-in initially, do visit services on a Sunday sometimes.
We have 6 volunteers who interact
with the community and church members. Alongside refreshments we have board games, dominoes, cards, snooker, table tennis, group jigsaw, colouring, word searches, creative crafts and a free lunch.
Over the months we have had dietary inputs from ‘Cuppa Tea’, the Diabetic and Kidney Nurses, and the community Police with advice on scams, security and local issues.
Our neighbouring primary school has visited with parents who could benefit from this type of social interaction. Housing and benefit advice teams have also visited.
The Rep Theatre came to give us insight on what it’s like ‘From Book To Stage!!!’
For the second year we went on a boat ride for our summer outing, this time making our journey into town on the tram and then along the water from Brindley Place. We concluded our trip by having Pizza at Rudy’s! Out of 30 attendees, no one got lost this time.
At Christmas we had Christmas Dinner and told the Christmas story playing Bingo! Almost 50 people attended this. Our numbers are anything between 20 and 30 including the volunteers. The community are building their friendships but also their trust in us as they share their lives and difficulties with us and ask for prayer.
They are grateful and appreciate this group celebrating birthdays and anniversaries during our sessions. One member is dedicated to baking us a cake each time she comes.

## **General Community Support**
Week by week, the Church supported individuals and families in need with contact, food parcels, food bank vouchers, practical help (via our 25:35 fund), transport to appointments, assistance with forms, moving home and helping to prevent people becoming homeless.
We also helped with shopping and contributions to gas and electricity needs. In December we distributed Christmas presents to 20 families via the BCM Toylink scheme. We continue to link with our local primary school by providing advice and practical help for parents and families.
## **New Community Outreach in 2025**
In 2025 we began no less than six new projects and services:
## **Senior’s Lunch Club**
## Lunch Club
> Launched in February Lunch 2025, the Senior’s Lunch Club offers a warm
> space for light Club refreshments, meeting **New Seniors’**
> with other local seniors **lunch club started** and chatting over a twocourse meal. There is a
small charge made for lunch to cover the cost of the food. During the year the club has grown to between 10 and 15 attendees each Monday. Members of the group take it in turns to share a small devotional thought at some point during the club.
## **CAP Job Club**
Job Club **Started & supported 30 people**
We started a weekly Job Club, supported by Christians Against Poverty.
Six volunteers were
trained and 4 were active at any one time. Around 30 people were supported with help with skills such as writing CVs and preparing for interviews and a local Job Centre has provided a member of staff to be present to signpost clients to current job

vacancies. We know of two people who went on to find jobs after being supported by our Job Club in 2025.
## **Age UK Coffee mornings/Age UK Hub**
Following contact initiated by Eric Mustapha (Beacon’s Community Worker) Age UK began a coffee morning in March 2025. It ran fortnightly, at the same time as our Community Drop-in Sessions but
## **Six**
**New community groups begun in 2025**
on alternate Wednesdays to these. Hosted by an Age UK staff member, with volunteers from Beacon on a rota basis.
Numbers ranged between 8 and 12 with a couple of referrals from Age Concern. They have invited different agencies/visitors e.g. energy advisors, Healthwatch Birmingham, Birmingham Healthy Minds and Community Police.
They managed to secure Gentle Seated Exercise provided by Impact for Life for 30 minutes of our sessions. They have 1 other volunteer who assists in setting up and clearing away.
## **Beacon Bubbas**
This is a stay and play for babies and toddlers run by a group of volunteer mums. It started in July 2025 and ran weekly on a Thursday during term time. Toys, soft play, messy play and songs feature each week. We have seen up to 10 children and mums attending. Once a month a part of the session is focused on the moms to help them articulate the joys, strengths and weaknesses they have experienced being a mum. This led to a workshop being put on for mums in September which included a guest speaker, prayers and much crying!!!!
## **Beacon Music Academy**
This began in 2025, every Thursday evening from 5pm to 6.30pm. Volunteer tutors from the local Christian community joined with our own volunteers to make this possible, including a trained musician and a vocalist.
A grant was received from Faith Action, sponsored by Birmingham City Council and provided musical instruments along with some basic expenses for tutors. Started in May of 2025, the academy ran for two seasons, finishing with a concert at the end of each to demonstrate the newfound skills and confidence of the children and young people attending the academy.
Around 12 children signed up for the academy, from families who attend the church as well as from those who heard about the academy through community networks. Numbers increased towards the end of the year.
## **Community Chaplaincy Service**
This was begun in 2025 and supported two clients during the year. A startup grant was provided by The Community Chaplaincy Association (originating from The Benefact Trust) and was intended to promote projects and activities which focus on:
- crime prevention (This may address youth & children as well as adults)
- support and resettlement of ex-prisoners
- prevention of reoffending
One aspect of this was begun in 2025, focused on prisoners who would like support from a local church and self-refer before their release date to receive support from trained volunteers in the

2025 Beacon Evangelical Church Trustees Annual Report
church. The service aims to provide signposting and practical as well as spiritual support from the church as these individuals seek to rebuild their lives. The intention is for them to make use of volunteering opportunities within the Church to build their confidence and skills.
## **Future plans**
Working with The Ascension Trust, plans were progressed for a partnership with local churches to run a Street Pastors Group in Handsworth. Several Churches committed to running the project together. Our Community Development worker, Eric Mustapha, plans to apply for a licence in 2026 so that volunteer training can begin.
## **Financial Review**
A full statement of accounts has been prepared by Data Developments (UK) Ltd, First Floor, The Chubb Buildings, Fryer Street, Wolverhampton, WV1 1HT. Data Developments act as the church’s independent examiners.
Beacon Church’s principal source of funding is donations from members.
The church makes use of the gift aid scheme to claim tax on donations.
## **Policies and procedures**
The Church has the following policies in place:
## **Health and Safety**
## **Data Protection**
## **Safeguarding**
## **Reserves policy**
Employment of a full time Community Development and Outreach Leader means that we have several Church Worker policies and procedures:

## **Independent Examiner’s report to the trustees/members of Beacon**
## **Evangelical Church**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2025 which are set out on the following pages.
## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility
- to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, 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.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or
- the accounts do not accord with the with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Signed: Date: 16[th] April 2026
