## **Charity number: 1169035 RIDGEWAY COMMUNITY CHURCH Trustees Report For the year ended 31st August 2025**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of Ridgeway Community Church (the charity) for the year ended 31 August 2025. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charity's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP). The charity has opted to report under the provisions of the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (FRSSE).
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
## **A. CONSTITUTION**
The charity is a CIO (Charity Incorporated Organisation).
## **B. METHOD OF APPOINTMENT OR ELECTION OF TRUSTEES**
The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Constitution. There were no changes to the Trustees this year.
## **C. ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND DECISION MAKING**
The charity is administered by the church Elders. All the Trustees (excluding the Treasurer) are Elders. The Elders meet monthly with additional meetings being arranged as and when required. The Treasurer is responsible for administering the financial resources of the charity on a day to day basis. In this task he is assisted by two Assistant Treasurers, one for each church within the charity. The Assistant Treasurers are not Trustees of the charity.
## **D. EMPLOYEES**
The church employed 9 people at the balance sheet date (prior year 9), three full-time, the rest part-time. One of the full-time employees is seconded for part of his time to the Kinetic Network (UK charity 1175938), Kinetic Network pay for this proportion of his employment costs. Three Trustees are also employees, these are the pastors responsible for each church (Wallingford and Didcot) and the Associate Pastor at Wallingford. Employed trustees work as pastors and are paid for that service. This is permitted under the CIO governing document. The salaries paid to the three pastors are only for their pastoral duties and do not include any payments in respect of their being trustees of the Ridgeway Community Church charity. Two part-time employees are the wives of trustees. It is confirmed that no employee received a salary in excess of £60,000 for the year.
The church has a remuneration committee, made up of finance and trustee members. This committee meets annually to set church employee remuneration and when required to discuss and approve any interim pay changes or the pay levels for new roles. Remuneration Committee membership excludes employed trustees and trustees who's wives are employed by the charity.
The charity relies heavily on volunteers who do much of the work in supporting both the church and our work with the community. The trustees gratefully acknowledge this, without our volunteers the

## **Objectives and Activities**
## **A. OBJECTIVES**
The principal object of the charity is the advancement of the Christian religion and the relief of those in need, in accordance with the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Trustees declare that they have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and are satisfied that the charity fulfils the criteria. This is considered in more detail in the next section.
## **B. ACTIVITIES FOR ACHIEVING OBJECTIVES**
## **(including consideration of public benefit)**
The charity functions as two churches, one based in Wallingford and one in Didcot. These hold services each Sunday (open to all) and serve the local community. Community engagement is via the Fountain Community Hub, the Community Fridge and various community groups that use our facilities. In addition we support Wallingford Street Pastors, the CAP Debt Centre (Wallingford and Didcot), and the Wallingford Food Bank.
## **The Community Hub**
As outlined in previous reports, the charity converted what was previously a bookshop into a Coffee Shop and Community hub in 2021. The Hub is run by a committee with four members, including one trustee. It employs two part-time staff with the remainder of the work being covered by volunteers. The Cafe attracts a broad range of local groups and individuals, some with significant needs. Staff have undergone training in dealing with vulnerable adults and first aid in addition to Food Hygeine and Food Safety. The cafe holds a 5 star hygiene rating from the local inspector.
The Community Fridge also operates from the Community Hub premesis.
The coffee shop element of the Hub runs on donations, with customers donating whatever they feel is appropriate. The operation makes a net loss (£15k in 2024/25) which is covered by the charity including some external support grants. We see this as money well spent on supporting the local community.
## **Grants paid**
The charity continues to support various overseas charities both financially and with leadership guidance. These include Pastors in India, Jews for Jesus (Germany), Open Doors, and the Message Trust (South Africa). The charity also supports CAP (Christians Against Poverty debt service), both financially and with volunteer staff. A full list of external giving is provided within the accounts.
## **Beacon Youth Project**
This project has run for many years, supporting local youth in Wallingford via an outreach worker supported by the church and a grant from the local town council. In 2025 the worker resigned from the position and we took the decision to close this operation as another charity had recently set up in the town offering similar services.
## **Kinetic Network**
Seeking to work more closely with other similar churches, we have partnered with a group of like minded churches to form the Kinetic Network. This is a loose association, where best practise can be disseminated and expert resources shared. Our Senior Pastor and Trustee - Gareth Lloyd-Jones has

## **C. RISK ASSESSMENT AND POLICIES**
The charity maintains written policies on: - Risk Managemnt
- Risk Managemnt - Health and Safety - Safeguarding - Volunteers - Financial Controls - Serious incident reporting - Expenses - Conflicts of Interest - Reserves - Data Protection
Risk assessments are carried out on both the church building owned in Wallingford and the facilities we rent for the Didcot congregation. An Accident Book is maintained and health and safety issues are timetabled for discussion at Trustees meetings.
If any conflcits of interest arise, the impacted Trustee leaves the meeting while the subject is discussed and decisions are reached, being informed of the outcome on returning, but not the details of the discussion.
The contents and obligations of the Equality Act 2010 and the 2018 General Data Protection
Regulation are known and complied with to the best of the charity's ability. The charity is aware of its responsibilities in respect of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in its requirement to carry out a fire assessment to identify any possible dangers and risks, to take action to minimise the risks and to create a plan to deal with any emergencies, and also to write up and keep a record of its findings and to review its assessment annually. The charity has appointed Timothy Sugar (Centre Manager) to be the responsible person to put these things into operation. During the reporting year the electrical systems in our owned buiding in Wallingford were professionally reviewed and upgraded to ensure they met the current and foreseeable electrical equipment standards. There is a Safeguarding Policy in place in respect of children and vulnerable adults. Checks have been and are made with the Disclosure and Barring Service in respect of persons dealing regularly with young people and vulnerable adults. The appointed officer for this is Grant Mottram (who is based in Wallingford), assisted by Amy Ogle (who is based in Didcot). All those who work with children are required to attend local Authority Safeguarding training.
Whilst it is impossible to eliminate all risks and their consequences, efforts are constantly made to minimise such occurrences.
## **Financial Review**
## **A. Income and Expenditure**
The accounts of the charity are presented in the following pages.
## **Income**
Income was up on the previous year (£322k vs £305k), which came from increased church member contributions.
## **Expenses**
Expenses were similar to the prior year (£314k vs £317k). Within this grant making increased (detail on page N13) and we spent less on equipment after heavy spending last year to replace worn out furniture and AV equipment.
## **Net Income**
There was a small surplus of £8k in 2024/25, the previous year had been a deficit of £12k. This was mainly driven by the increased income against a net flat expenditure year over year.

## **Charity number: 1169035 RIDGEWAY COMMUNITY CHURCH Trustees Report For the year ended 31st August 2025**
## **Balance Sheet**
Cash balance increased by £17k. The closing cash balance (£121k) is comfortably ahead of our reserves policy. The trustees were planning some significant investments in building maintenance in 2024/25, in the event these will now occur early in 25/26 and the charity expects to report a deficit next year as a result and to run cash down to a number closer to the reserves required level. The church building was revalued again this year to bring it into line with the insurance valuation, the previous revalution having been in 2019. The revaluation £454k was taken directly to reserves.
## **Looking ahead**
As noted last year we have employed an Associate Pastor to take on some of the leadership duties relinquished by our Senior Pastor, now he is being seconded part-time to Kinetic Network. It is gratifying that the church membership have stepped up their giving to cover this increased cost and we are able to look ahead to the future with confidence in our finances
As noted under Balance Sheet, we plan some major building maintenance expenditure early in 2025/26 and investment in improved AV systems at both church, required both to responsibly maintain our physical assets and to support growing activity levels, especially in the fast growing congregation in Didcot.
## **B. GOING CONCERN**
The trustees have confidence in classifying the charity as a going concern. We have a robust balance sheet and a committed membership.
## **C. INVESTMENT POLICY AND PERFORMANCE**
No investments are held by the charity at the reporting date.
## **D. RESERVES POLICY**
The charity reserves policy is to aim to maintain reserves at around 3 months worth of spending. Currently this would amount to about £78k. At year end the total bank balance is £121k. The charity plans to use this excess of reserves to invest in community support as outlined above
## **Future Developments**
The staff changes outlined in last years report have been achieved with our membership of Kinetic Network and employment of an Associate Pastor in Wallingford.
In Didcot a new leadership team is supporting the Pastor and we are assessing if any of them should become Trustees of the charity.
The closure of the Beacon Youth Project has left a gap in our support offered to local young people and we are working with a partner church (Wallingford Baptists, UK charity 1132946) on a new youth initiative that aims to provide a safe space for providing support to this group.
The congregation in Didcot is growing rapidly and we have invested in additional admin support for the leadership there to free them up for pastoral work with those in need.
The trustees are grateful that due to the on-going support of the church members, we are in a position to invest in additional staff time and activity to support those in need, both in our church membership and the local community.

## **Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME**
_This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below._
## **Recognition of income**
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
- the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
- it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
- the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
**Offsetting**
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
## **Grants and donations**
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
**Legacies**
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
**Government grants**
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
**Tax reclaims on donations and gifts**
**Contractual income and performance related grants**
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
## **Donated goods**
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt.

## **Notes:**
Beacon Youth Project income fell due to long term sickness of our Wallingford Youth Worker. Costs remained static leading to a significant deficit on this work (£8.3k). This was covered by a transfer from general funds.
The English Lessons for Ukrainians work was closed down due to demand having been fulfilled. Most of our clients having found work in the UK.
The charity will look for an appropriate use for the remaining funds (£2.7k) for work amongst UK based Ukrainians or donated to a charity working in Ukraine.
