## **Structure:**
The Parliamentary Christian Trust began as the Parliamentary Christian Fellowship Trust, which was established by Trust Deed in 1989 (registered charity number 801739). In 2017 this was converted to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (charity number 1168573).

## **Objectives and activities**
The object of the Charity (PCT) is the promotion of the Christian faith, and in particular to advance Christian teaching among those working in the Houses of Parliament and elsewhere in the political life of the nation.
To achieve this object, the Parliamentary Christian Trust supports the activities of the following three projects.
**Christians in Parliament (CiP)** is an All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG). CiP works to support all Members and staff in their work in the Houses of Parliament.
The **National Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast (NPPB)** is an annual event which brings together over 700 MPs, Peers and church leaders in the Houses of Parliament to pray for our Parliament, Government and politics, to build relationships between church leaders and their local MPs, and to reflect upon the relevance of the Christian faith to personal and public life.
**Christians in Politics (CiPol)** works to inspire and encourage Christians to get involved in politics and public life.
## **Public benefit statement**
The Trustees have regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
Many of the activities of CiP are for the direct benefit of parliamentarians and staff in the Houses of Parliament. In addition, certain activities and events are open to all members of the public, and this gives Members of Parliament the opportunity to meet and work with people from throughout the United Kingdom.
The NPPB is for the benefit of all Members of Parliament and people throughout the United Kingdom.
The work of CiPol serves the public benefit by equipping and inspiring Christians throughout the United Kingdom to engage in local, regional and national politics in a thoughtful and gracious manner for the common good of all people.

## **Achievements and performance:**
## _**Christians in Parliament**_
Christians in Parliament is an All-Party Parliamentary Group, which exists to help Christians live out their faith in Parliament and politics. We also seek to commend the truth and goodness of the Christian faith to all who work in Parliament. We do this through:
- Bible study and prayer groups
- 1-1 support
- Chapel services
- Speaker events and discussion groups
- Policy discussions and briefings
- The annual National Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast
The group is bi-cameral, cross-party and non-denominational, and we work in close partnership with the Speaker’s Chaplain, the Roman Catholic Duty Priest in Parliament and Westminster Abbey. The CiP team consists of Rev Mark Harris (Chaplain), Claire Newman (Senior Parliamentary Officer) and Jane Powell (Parliamentary Officer).
This first year of the new Parliament has involved building relationships with newly elected Christian MPs, as well as seeking to build wider connections in Parliament. We have been encouraged by a number of new Christians who were elected across the parties who have become part of our regular ministry, and a growing number of new connections.
## **Pastoral support**
- Mark Harris and Claire Newman lead two weekly **Bible Study groups** with cross-party Members of both Houses. Our Wednesday group has enjoyed studying a Bible Overview together, whilst our Monday group has followed a series of studies from the Psalms.
- **Our Chapel services** remain a highlight in the week, and over the course of the year our sermon series have been: Jesus and Politics, The Bible and Politics, Preparing for Christmas, Wisdom for Life – Proverbs, Road to the Cross and the Letter of Romans. Numbers have steadily increased over the course of the year, and average weekly attendance for the year was 30 people, comprising staff and parliamentarians.
- **Psalm reflection and prayer meeting:** Every Monday morning the team send out a weekly Psalm reflection to several hundred Members and staff. The team has also led a weekly prayer meeting for parliamentary staff, which includes a weekly psalm reflection.
## **Outreach**
We organised a series of events which engaged a wider group of parliamentarians and staff with the truth and relevance of the Christian faith:
5
- In October we were joined by Professor NT Wright, who addressed nearly 100 parliamentarians, staff and external guests in Speaker’s House on ‘How should Christians think about politics?’
- In December, 225 parliamentarians and staff attended one of our three Carol Services and heard the good news of Christmas.
- We held two afternoon tea events (October and February), each attended by around 50 parliamentarians, which provided a good opportunity to create new connections with parliamentarians and to promote the work of Christians in Parliament.
- At Easter, nearly 50 parliamentarians and staff attended an Easter Celebration service, when Tim Farron MP preached on the resurrection of Jesus.
## **Public theology**
- Our public theology programme seeks to provide Christian members with deep biblical and theological foundations to inform all their political practice.
- During the year we ran a series of events: ‘What difference does Christianity make to…’
- assisted dying, with Professor Robert Song (3 events in October and November)
- the economy, with Sir Andrew Dilnot (November)
- defence policy, with Professor Tom Simpson (February)
- social justice, with Dr Krish Kandiah (March)
- immigration policy, with Mr Paul Bickley, Theos (June)
## ~~a~~ _**National Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast 2025**_
We had a busy lead up the 2025 Breakfast, as we finished the implementation of a new database & booking management system and updated our database with the new Members.
Our theme this year was ‘God in the public square?’ and our main speaker was John Lennox, Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University. John is a globally renowned author and lecturer on the relationship between science, philosophy and religion. Music and singing was led by the acclaimed hymn writers and GRAMMY-nominated artists Keith and Kristyn Getty. After the main Breakfast our partners offered a programme of seminars as well as a dedicated event for church leaders later in the morning.
The Breakfast was attended by 650 people, with around 200 Members in attendance including Leaders of all the Opposition Parties as well as members of the Cabinet. We were hugely encouraged by the high attendance of MPs, many who attended for the first time. We also had over 1,500 people join the live-stream, and the Breakfast has subsequently been viewed by over 30,000 people.

## _**Christians in Politics**_
Christians in Politics (CiPol) exists to inspire and encourage Christians to get involved in politics and public life. We strive to put kingdom before tribe and disagree well. Christians in Politics draws together Christians from across the political parties and beyond, and from across the breadth of the church. CiPol is led by Andy Flannagan (Executive Director).
Never has the need for disagreeing well and putting kingdom before tribe been larger, in our polarised public square. Might we become a more Christ-like nation as we discuss what it means to be a Christian nation?
## **Ambassadors programme**
Once again, 4 cohorts of 6 ambassadors spent the academic year being trained in public speaking, biblical worldview, and media interview skills.
“I really value the supportive space that Andy has created through the Ambassadors programme. It’s a place where it feels safe to have a go, learn, and grow as a communicator for the kingdom – in a sector where the stakes couldn’t be higher nor the consequences greater.”
“I joined the Ambassadors programme after running my first parliamentary campaign for a small party. Not only has my confidence when speaking in public improved but the programme has also helped me clarify my own views.”
One of the encouragements of the Ambassadors programme has been the increasing calibre of those involved this year. We now have a large number of local and county councillors and NGO leaders involved.
## **Other resources**
The Influence Course continues to get use all over the UK and even further afield. We are increasingly getting requests from Africa and Australasia to help facilitate entities similar to Christians in Politics, and various NGOs are using our animations in their training and presentations.
The most common enquiry is the query about how we have been able to bring people from across the political spectrum together. We have been proud of how we have ‘stretched the tent pegs’ very wide to accommodate believers from many political and theological categories. However, we cannot embrace campaigning based on misinformation.
Christianity magazine recently featured a 4-page spread on our work in their prestigious 60[th] anniversary edition which led to further requests for interviews. We have also had several interviews on radio and podcasts, an appearance on Songs of Praise with Baroness Elizabeth Berridge, and social media spin-offs from the Hope into Action Conference.
7
Our resource that got most use in 2024 was the ID video, which intentionally piggy-backed on the US Presidential Election. We received a great response to this campaign with its theological underpinning about the Image of God, including usage in theological colleges.
Articles written by the Executive Director, ambassadors and others continue to gain traction in various publications. An article on Marian Budde’s now infamous sermon with President Trump present was the most-read article during that month of news on Premier Christianity.
We worked with the National Week of Prayer to support ‘Prayer for the Nation’ events all over the UK, providing sung and liturgical resources and points for prayer. We also participated in their central gathering at the Emmanuel Centre. Another week is planned for next year, and it has been good to ‘get in on the ground floor’ with this initiative.
‘Good News for Everyone’ (previously the Gideons) produced a specific Christians in Politics version of their pocket New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs. We gave one to every attendee at the National Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast.
We have continued to provide support where appropriate to agencies within the political parties, namely Conservative Christian Fellowship, Liberal Democrat Christian Forum and Christians on the Left. The agencies have had their own challenges in terms of governance, resource and capacity. The polarised environment is also making joint working more and more difficult.
## **Looking ahead**
We are in politically uncharted territory, and the need for believers with a firm Biblical worldview informed by orthodox theology has never been more important. Through our training we are establishing a relational nexus of people who genuinely put kingdom before tribe and can disagree well. They can now support each other online amidst the wilds of social media.
Of particular encouragement to CiPol in 2024 was the large influx of Christian candidates into Parliament at the General Election who have been involved in CiPol training or projects in the last decade.
## **Cloth-cutting**
Christians in Politics has maintained viability by using occasional admin support rather than permanent employees, and switching to a cheaper CRM. Management and accountability is now focused on the PCT board and Executive team, rather than developing a separate board of trustees for CiPol. A priority now is decentralisation from the Exec Director towards ambassadors, other volunteers and potential successors.
The suspension and unexpected cessation of significant funders have created a financial challenge for CiPol. New supporter trusts are being sought, and individual donors are being encouraged via supporter list emails.

## **Financial review**
Finances supporting the work of Christians in Parliament (CiP), the National Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast (NPPB), and Christians in Politics (CiPol) are overseen by the Trustees of the Parliamentary Christian Trust (PCT). The budgets of each of these are monitored to ensure that each fund of the charity operates within its means.
In order to match regular cycles for funding and for the work of the Trust, the financial year end was changed in 2024 from 31 March to 31 August, and therefore the comparative figures in the report cover seventeen months from April 2023 to August 2024.
Total incoming resources of the charity for the year to 31 August 2025 were income of £175,125, and total expenditure was £220,531, resulting in a net cash outflow of £45,406 for the period. Bank balances carried forward at the end of the period were £174,378, comprising £108,869 for CiP, £15,357 for NPPB and £50,152 for CiPol.
After a review of investments in March 2016, £56,000 from funds that had been donated to CiP were invested with COIF Charities Ethical Investment Fund Accumulation Units. £25,000 of these were sold in October 2023, and the value of the remaining investments of the PCT at 31 August 2025 stood at £92,567. The Trustees expect to realise these investments over the next few years in order to sustain CiP’s current staffing levels during anticipated future shortfalls in income while identifying new sources of funding.
## **Reserves policy**
The Trustees regularly review the level of reserves to ensure that the Trust holds sufficient funds to meet its regular and contractual commitments and those arising from other obligations. Their policy is to maintain free reserves sufficient to cover nine months’ running costs and other payroll obligations. In the reported financial period, this gives a reserves target of £100,000 for CiP, and £25,000 for CiPol. The reserves target for NPPB is £15,000, in order to manage the cash flow of payments due to suppliers in advance of income from ticket sales.
## **Future plans**
Arrangements are being made for various events scheduled to take place in the coming year; these include monthly worship services, regular bible teaching sessions, prayer gatherings and fellowship groups.
There are plans to continue when possible to hold the National Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast in each year of Parliament.

## **Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities**
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the applicable guidance;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- 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 to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the Trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of the Parliamentary Christian Trust**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2025, which are set out on pages 12 to 18.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees 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 the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
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:
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.
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.

## **THE PARLIAMENTARY CHRISTIAN TRUST**
## **Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2025**
## **1. Basis of accounting**
These accounts have been prepared on a Receipts and Payments (cash) basis.
## **2. Funds**
Different categories of fund have been recognised in these accounts. Unrestricted funds are those that are available for expenditure at the discretion of the Trustees for any of the objects of the Charity.
The unrestricted fund belongs to Christians in Parliament (CiP). A separate Receipts & Payments Account for this project is included on the next page.
Restricted Funds are those where donations have been received for a specific purpose.
The National Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast (NPPB) is administered by the Trust, and all income and expenses relating directly to this event are treated as restricted funds. This is usually an annual event designed to provide fellowship and teaching for Christians from around the nation and the world. It has its own bank accounts. A separate Receipts & Payments Account for this project is included in these Financial Statements.
Christians in Politics (CiPol) is another part of the Trust's work and is a separate project with its own bank accounts. Therefore, the receipts and payments of Christians in Politics are also kept separate as a restricted fund. Again, a separate Receipts and Payments account is incuded at the end of this report.
## **3. Salaries**
£10,000 was charged to the National Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast as a contribution for staff costs related to the 2025 event (2024: £10,000 for the June 2023 event).
## **4. Investments**
Investments are held as Accumulation Units in the COIF Charities Ethical Investment Fund. The original investment in March 2016 was for £56,000. £25,000 of the accumulated balance was sold in October 2023. The valuation as at 31 August 2024 was £93,700 (March 2023: £106,685). The rationale for holding these investments is set out in the Trustees' Annual Report.
## **5. Liabilities**
Liabilities comprise pension contributions payable and professional fees.
## **6. Trustees**
Donations in 2024 included a small collection for a gift to the Chair in recognition of his long service to the APPG, which was then paid in the 2025 financial year. No trustee received any other payment or benefit from the funds of the charity.
## **7. Related parties**
PCT works closely with another UK charity, the Bible Society. The Bible Society manages ticket bookings and other organisation for the NPPB, funds certain event costs for CiP, and provides a London virtual office for CiPol.
