Objectives and activities

The object of the Church, as set out in its constitution is :-

“the advancement of the Christian faith for the public benefit”.

The church’s principal activities to further this object are :-

The Trustees confirm that they have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. Furthermore, it is central to the church’s ethos that we should bring blessing to the wider local community.

Volunteers

None of the church’s activities could operate without the huge efforts made by our members who receive no payment for doing so.

Achievements and performance

Financial review

Overview and Reserves

The total income in the period was £322,659. The total expenditure was £330,495, of which £18,367 was spent outside England and Wales.

At the end of 2024 the charity held a cash balance of £146,512 and total net assets of £1,052,254. The Trustees ensure that the annual budget is realistic. The Trustees are satisfied that the charity will have sufficient income, supported by adequate reserves, to meet its spending plans and obligations going forward.

It is the policy of the Trustees to maintain reserves to meet three months of salary/wages commitments. This modest reserve is considered adequate given our financial obligations and the considerable value of the unencumbered property held.

Sources of income

Much of the church’s income is in the form of donations from its members and others attending its services. The level of this giving is remarkable. There are around 80 members and the general donation income from members and attenders in this period exceeded £134,000 including the Gift Aid tax refund.

5

Noah’s Ark Pre-school and the Counselling Centre receive fees from service users plus local government funding for the Pre-school.

The charity does not use any professional fund raisers and fundraising from the public other than members is limited to minor events such as quiz nights and second-hand sales for specific purposes.

Investment policy

The church does not intend to invest money. Such reserves as may accumulate from time to time are held on suitable deposit accounts with our bankers.

Funds spent overseas

Money sent to Romania for work with looked after children is sent to a named individual known to us. He provides reports on how the money is spent, backed up by photographs, and we also hear from the children themselves via social media. In 2024 we continued a physical visit, which allowed us to see how the children are being supported.

Risks

The Trustees have reviewed the risks facing the church. These are primarily:-

The Trustees are satisfied with the measures in place to mitigate these risks and keep them under review.

The Church has in place a well-established Safeguarding Policy developed and operated under guidance from Thirty-One: Eight (formerly the Churches Child Protection Advisory Service).

Structure, governance and management

Formation and governing document

Caterham Community Church was registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation on 8[th] September 2015.

The CIO is the charitable identity for the church formerly known as Caterham Hill Congregational Church, which previously derived its charitable status from its membership of the Congregational Federation - the umbrella body for the Christian denomination to which the church belongs.

The holding Trusteeship of the buildings and land formally vested in the Congregational Federation Ltd was transferred to the CIO during 2017.

Organisational structure

The charity Trustees are responsible for the overall governance and management of the church.

The spiritual leadership and practical day-to-day running of the church are vested in the team of Elders and Deacons and various members who are appointed to lead individual activities.

6

Reflecting our Congregational roots, the ultimate governing body is the Church Meeting, at which all those who have become members in line with the constitution have a vote. Trustees, Elders and Deacons are appointed by a vote of the Church Meeting and perform their duties under the authority delegated to them by the Church Meeting.

Wider networks

The church is a member of the Congregational Federation and the Evangelical Alliance. We have a less formal association with the New Wine Network. We are actively involved in partnership with other local churches.

Custodian trusteeships

The Trustees do not hold any assets or funds as custodian trustees on behalf of any others.

Responsibilities of trustees under charity 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).

Charity 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 charity 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 charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Declarations

The Trustees declare that they have approved the Trustees’ report above.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF

CATERHAM COMMUNITY CHURCH

('the Charity')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2024 on pages 9 to 19 following, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 11 to 12.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation 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 Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

Since the Charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland, which is one of the listed bodies.

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 Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. 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.

CATERHAM COMMUNITY CHURCH

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1 Statutory Information

The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales. The charity's registered number and principal address can be found on the Charity Information page.

2 Accounting Policies

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets, which are measured at fair value through the Statement of Financial Activities.

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") and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.

The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 (the '2008 Regulations') requires charities to prepare their accounts in accordance with 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005' but this accounting standard has since been withdrawn and has been replaced by the Charities SORP mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The charity has prepared these financial statements in accordance with the new Charities SORP; this departure from the 2008 Regulations is believed to be necessary for these financial statements to give a 'true and fair view'.

The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.

a) Going concern

The trustees 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:

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.

The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities, particularly church leadership. 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.

Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from services supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects. It includes income from fees and grants for the counselling centre and preschool.

The charity has taken the view that it has only one charitable activity, namely the advancement of the Christian faith, and all income from donations and charitable activities is in respect of this one activity.

11

CATERHAM COMMUNITY CHURCH

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

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. Endowment funds are donations that are retained as capital in accordance with the donor's wishes. The nature of the restriction determines whether the endowments represent permanent endowments or expendable endowments.

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 £20,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. No depreciation is charged.

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 charity 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) 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. j) 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. ln preparing financial statements certain judgements, estimates and assumptions have to be made that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The trustees consider the following to be significant: i) The annual depreciation charge for property, plant and equipment is sensitive to changes in the estimates for useful economic life and residual value. These estimates are reassessed annually and, when necessary, adjusted to reflect current circumstances. ii) The constructive obligation for grants payable is based on an assessment of the likely duration of the supported activity. Again this estimate is re-assessed annually and the obligation is adjusted to reflect current expectations.
