Trustees are invited by the current trustees after careful enquiry as to their suitability and support for the objects of the charity. The trustees aim to have a broad range of skills to provide clear and informed governance of each area of the church and its projects. Current trustees bring a variety of expertise in Christian doctrine, safeguarding and business. Trustees are not paid for their role as trustees. One trustee (Andrew Keel) was an employee of the charity in the role of Minister for part of the financial year. Another trustee, Richard Large, stood down as trustee on 20[th] September 2022. As he took up the paid role of operations manager from Sept 2022 it was realised in our governing document (constitution) that trustees could only be renumerated as a pastor and not within other roles within the charity.
The church has 2 governing bodies – the core leaders and the trustees. The core leaders oversee the spiritual and day to day running of the church and the projects that run out of it.
The trustees are legally responsible in terms of the CIO and oversee financial decisions. Core leaders also provide input/ recommendations but decisions are made by the trustees.
As a church we are affiliated to The Edge Network of churches. Trustees meet regularly, as a minimum quarterly, to review all areas of the charity and discuss any potential major risks to it.
Section C Objectives and activities
The objects of the CIO are:
Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document
(1) To advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs in the Schedule in such parts of Sheffield, the United Kingdom or the world as the Trustees may from time to time think fit and to fulfil such other purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales and are connected with the charitable work of the charity; (2) To provide or assist in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life. (3) To advance in life and relieve the needs of young people through providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.
