Section B Structure, governance and management
Description of the charity’s trusts
Redeemer is governed by the Redeemer Croydon Trust Constitution. The Type of governing document governing document dates from November 2015. Updates to the constitution were (eg. trust deed, constitution) made in April 2019. Redeemer Croydon Trust is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. How the charity is constituted (eg. trust, association, company) New charity trustees are appointed by the existing charity trustees. In selecting Trustee selection methods individuals for appointment, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, (eg. appointed by, elected by) knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO. Trustees should also hold to the Trust’s Statement of Beliefs and have lives with evidence of Christian profession.
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual report and the Responsibilities of trustees under financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom charity law 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:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, s material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is in 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.
Additional governance issues (Optional information)
You may choose to include additional information, where relevant, about:
-
policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees;
-
the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works;
-
relationship with any related parties;
-
trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them.
Each person appointed trustee gives signed assent to the Christian faith as defined in the doctrinal basis as a condition precedent to his or her appointment. The constitution provides that new trustees be given a copy of the constitution, as well as the latest CIO Trustees’ Annual Report and statement of accounts. In addition to this, it is standard practice at Redeemer for new trustees to receive a copy of the minutes of the previous trustee meeting.
Redeemer Croydon Trust trustees oversee the Trust and take responsibility for the management of the Trust’s resources. They ensure that the charity is complying with its governing document and the law, that it is accountable and that it is carrying out its purposes for the public benefit. Accountable to the trustees are the elders who are responsible for spiritual aspects such as teaching and for pastoral care. Redeemer Croydon Trust is a membership church and, upon joining, members are provided with an Introduction to Redeemer membership course, which sets out Redeemers’ vision and values and its governance structure. Members’ meetings are held on a termly basis.
Redeemer has been a member of the Evangelical Alliance since 2016 and became a member of the FIEC (Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches) in 2020 and became a member of the London Gospel Partnership in 2022.
There are three main risks identified by the trustees:
First, a reduction in giving, should a number of members leave Redeemer at the same time or members fall into financial difficulty. To address this, monthly giving (regular and external) is monitored carefully by the Treasury team, elders and trustees against projected giving. Reserve levels are also maintained in accordance with the reserves policy.
A second risk is key personnel leaving or becoming unwell. To mitigate against this, the trustees have discussed an emergency plan should either the Lead Pastor or Operations Director be out of action. In the case of the Lead Pastor, this would involve the eldership and small group leaders taking responsibility for the care of church members. In the case of the Operations Director, the trustees have familiarised themselves with the key operational and financial documentation, and all staff have had access arranged to Redeemer’s administrative platform Churchsuite. In the circumstances where both the Lead Pastor and (if there is someone in post) the Assistant Pastor would be out of action, the eldership would jointly step into the role of the Lead Pastor with Operations Director’s assistance on operational matters and Trustees’ assistance where required until such time as the Lead Pastor is able to resume their position or a new Lead Pastor is appointed. Should the Assistant Pastor resume their position before the Lead Pastor’s return/appointment, the Assistant Pastor would act as Lead Pastor and the eldership and small group leaders taking responsibility for the care of church members
A third risk is security of the venue given that Redeemer does not have its own building in which to meet. In order to address this, the staff team work hard to build relationships and regular communication with those responsible for the venues. This ensures that any issues can be identified and addressed early on. Furthermore, rent hikes are taken into consideration in the budget and there is a contingency line for this. Redeemer has a list of alternative venues available which it can contact should Archbishop Tenison’s no longer be a suitable location. Pandemic/Lockdowns: Regular reviews were made of the risks related to the COVID pandemic, which were actively monitored for financial and operational impact. In the event of further lockdowns, we are in a much stronger position to ensure continuity of our offering.
Section C Objectives and activities
| Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) |
The object of RCT is supporting Redeemer Croydon Church for the public benefit and the advancement of the Christian faith in Croydon, and such other parts of the United Kingdom and the world as the charity trustees may from time to time decide. |
|---|---|
| Advancement of the faith for the public benefit and the advancement of the Christian faith in Croydon: All these are open to the whole local Croydon community and many are attended online by those in the UK and further afield. Redeemer has a number of Sunday ministries such as the Sunday morning meeting including children’s groups from age 0-teen, and monthly evening prayer meetings. It also has several weekday ministries, notably: • Men’s and women’s ministries, such as teaching, training and social activities. • ‘Growth Groups’ who meet together on a weekly basis to study the Bible, including a women’s group meeting twice and a new Portuguese- language group started in 2023. • Outreach social groups called H.O.P.E groups for example a rapidly- growing men’s football regular night, museum visits, women’s pilates etc. |
Other events include termly membership meetings, membership courses for new members, prayer triplets, youth group social events, and an annual retreat (last held in May 2023) with an external guest speaker.
We held widely attended Good Friday, Easter Sunday & Christmas carol services, including a children’s choir, and a Christmas Eve service.
We continue with regular and popular ‘Bring & Share’ meals after church several Sundays a year, some of which are designated as ‘World’ meals where attendees bring foods from their countries and cultures, to celebrate our multicultural community and broaden understanding through sharing meals of attendees backgrounds. To further broaden the community spirit, particularly to welcome newcomers, is an initiative called Hospitality Sunday, a ‘match-making’ scheme between people wanting to host Sunday lunch and those wanting to attend as guests.
Teaching and training are provided by the church in a number of ways. This includes:
-
The children’s ministry on a Sunday morning at Redeemer, teaching young people about the Bible
-
Pastoral work of the staff team (Lead Pastor & Missionary Pastor) in supporting members of Redeemer, in person where possible, online and via many forms of communication.
-
A summer men’s Bible study group
-
A parenting day in November held in collaboration with an associated church
-
Support provided to the volunteers who lead ‘Growth Groups’, ministries or services, both in the form of training and materials.
-
Annual safeguarding training for those working with teams, children and vulnerable adults.
-
Sharing of materials from training organisations such Cornhill, The Proclamation Trust and FIEC.
Our Lead Pastor, with considerable experience in preaching, teaching and pastoral care, has brought a high quality of teaching through a number of teaching series on Sundays and in small group/1on1 settings. Our volunteer Missionary Pastor who was a part of the preaching team, as well as teaching and training on theological matters, supported the Lead Pastor in this as well as producing teaching series in person and online. The website and YouTube channel continue to be updated in order to reach out to the local community and to be a resource for Christian material and Biblical teaching.
Additional pastoral support is provided for members of the congregation suffering illness, mental illness or significant socio-economic issues. Volunteers also organise meal rotas and housework rotas for those in need for support. A new support group was created to focus on practical aid to the elderly in our congregation.
We were delighted to team up with Operation Forgiveness (OF), run by London City Mission, in a community outreach endeavour, to further their efforts to reduce knife crime by sending volunteers from Redeemer into local schools to talk about the issue in keeping with the mission of OF.
Advancement of the Christian faith in the United Kingdom and the world:
Redeemer supports a ministry school in the Gambia via a UK charitable organisation Living Word Ministries (and pre-covid ran annual overseas missionary trips which are expected to resume). The church also has an inhouse missionary from a UK organisation, London City Mission, who does outreach in the local schools.
Redeemer’s social media and YouTube channel is widely accessed by the congregation, local community, in the UK and overseas. Our online services since then into 2023 saw a number of people join us live
from across the UK and overseas. Many of these non-local visitors have continued to use our digital resources. Our social media, which exists for public benefit, has seen increased interaction and we now have over 1000 followers on Instagram.
In budgeting for activities for the year, trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)
Over 2023, there is a strong contribution from 75 volunteers at Redeemer Croydon. In the reporting period, there were 69 members, many of whom served You may choose to include further on teams including: statements, where relevant, about: Sunday School & Youth Group • policy on grantmaking; Welcome Team Set Up Team • policy programme related Music and Sound Teams investment; Recording Team Refreshments Team • contribution made by volunteers.

Section D Achievements and performance
Supporting the work of Redeemer Croydon
Redeemer Croydon Trust looks to ensure that there are a variety of opportunities for community members to meet together and participate in church life. This provision is tailored to meet the needs of a diverse congregation of different ages, cultures and educational backgrounds.
We continue to meet at a local secondary school, Archbishop Tenison’s Church of England School and have built good links with them.
The children’s Sunday school continues to grow and four groups are offered: Tots (Pre-School, Nursery & babies), Kids (Reception to Y2), Juniors (Y3-6) and Youth Y7+.
The children especially enjoyed diverse learning opportunities, special Christmas and Easter activities and parties. Over the summer they are offered a special programme and help is given to all children as they graduate up to the next group.
Youth are encouraged to serve on teams in an age-appropriate capacity and help at children’s events. In addition, field trips and other midweek events have been offered to help the teens bond and enjoy a range of activities.
Aside from the regular Sunday meetings, growth groups meet weekly, on a monthly basis prayer meetings are held to provide adult members of the church an opportunity for quiet contemplation and prayer. We have been encouraging the congregation to more widely use our ChurchSuite app for broadening their communities and inviting friends and family in Croydon.
Missionary support Redeemer supports a ministry school in the Gambia and, following a successful visit in 2018 & 2019, Redeemer arranged a further trip in 2020. Regular updates
Section D Achievements and performance
are shared with the congregation on Sundays and at monthly prayer meetings. We increased links with London City Mission by welcoming a new mission link who partners with local Croydon schools to support them in their pastoral work internally. She provides the congregation with updates periodically. Relief for those suffering hardship and physical distress Pastoral and financial support was given to those in a position of disadvantage and hardship, including church attendees suffering with addiction and serious family social issues. Redeemer continues to care particularly for members in need of regular pastoral care. Pastoral staff provide support for those suffering social issues, illness and bereavement, as well as larger life events where help is needed practically, emotionally or financially. Operations In 2023, we continued to streamline financial and practical operations. A number of redundant and non-operational restricted funds were removed from the accounts and our CRM systems were continually updated for better member and volunteer management. Gift aid processing was further improved within our ChurchSuite platform, as well as attendance records and volunteer rotas. Policy & procedural updates were made to the Health & Safety policy and the associated Lone Worker Policy and Food Guidelines to incorporate the most upto-date government guidelines, including the serving of food at our events and educating those managing them on food allergies, food safety to ensure we our very best to minimise risk in these areas. Emergency procedures at our current primary venue were also updated and shared. We continued to evaluate our technological systems, to allow for a better quality in the wider-reaching hybrid in-person and digital operation of the church to reach the community more effectively. We begun the trial to implement live translation to reach attendees with all levels of English and make services more accessible for those who feel more comfortable to follow along in their own language, especially important given the international demographic in Croydon. Safeguarding training was provided for all staff and members of children’s teams or other key positions in Dec 2023 by a new safeguarding officer, following the departure from Croydon of our existing officer. Volunteer DBS, training and selfdeclaration processes were tightened to ensure improved record-keeping. Children’s Ministry Expectations and the Emergency Procedures Policy for our venue were shared with relevant people. Walkie talkies have also been purchased to ensure good communication for needs of the children’s rooms across the site on Sundays. We re-evaluated procedures for children on Sundays to ensure the volunteers were up to date on best practice.
Section E Financial review
| Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves |
The Redeemer policy on Reserves states that Redeemer must maintain a balance which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments. Reserves are held to ensure availability of an internal source of funds to cover situations such as: • An unanticipated loss or reduction in regular income. • Significant cash flow fluctuations. • A sudden increase in expenditure. • One-off unbudgeted expenses. The aim is to ensure stability in the operation of Redeemer Croydon, particularly in respect of the employment of staff engaged to advance the objects of the Trust. |
|---|---|
The Operating Reserves are not intended to replace a permanent loss of funds or eliminate an ongoing budget gap. Rather they are there to provide time, where necessary, for action to be taken to obtain additional funding and/or reduce further expenditure and revise assumptions in line with affordability.
It is the intention of the Redeemer Croydon Trustees that any Reserves utilised should be replenished within a reasonably short period of time.

Section F Other optional information
At present finances and regular giving look sustainable and Redeemer is a ‘Going concern’, but the trustees will continue to monitor this carefully on a monthly basis. Costs have been prioritised and spending freezes implemented across many areas. Funds will be used to relieve financial hardship as appropriate in keeping with the charity’s objectives. The trustees are of the view that the charity can continue to meet its objectives.

1. Accounting policies
The accounts have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis and comprise a statement that shows the charity’s receipts and payments, a statement that summarises the charity’s assets and liabilities and related notes.

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.
