## **Report of CCE activities – Year ending 31 March 2025** CCE weekly meetings continued in a regular rhythm and our building continued to be hired by a number of community organisations. The Leadership Group was expanded with a Core Leadership Team consisting of the Senior Leader and three others, with three more people added to a Wider Leadership Team. The Trustees Team remained as before. We employed a new administrator to oversee all administration work. Our Sunday meeting rhythm continued with relaxed, accessible services following a monthly pattern which included one Sunday of the month when we joined with our sister church in the Synergy Network, at Isca in Exeter. There were themed Multigenerational services with a range of activities for all ages quarterly. Eating together continued to be an important part of our meetings and we have held a number of social gatherings throughout the year. We continued to use Zoom for weekly online midweek prayer meetings and Bible studies and also introduced a weekly, in person Bible Study at the Axis Centre. Our regular Monday morning “Renew Axis” (“a quiet café-style space where it’s OK not to be OK”) continued to operate successfully with a team consisting of a paid manager and three volunteers. On Remembrance Sunday we offered free coffee and cakes after the town’s open-air service, and raised money in support of the Royal British Legion. In the build up to Christmas, we joined with other churches in Exmouth to provide a family Christmas event in a marquee in the town centre. We continued to support Open Door Exmouth, both through volunteers and financial donations, and continued to support Exmouth Food Bank with regular financial donations. We continued our long-term letting arrangement of the upstairs of the Axis Centre with a local organisation supporting children and young people who are challenged by mainstream education. ## COMMUNITY CHURCH EXMOUTH ## FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ## FOR THE ## YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 CHARITY NO: 1169245 ## **COMMUNITY CHURCH EXMOUTH** ## **Financial Statements** ## **Year Ended 31 March 2025** |**CONTENTS**|**PAGE**| |---|---| |Officers and Professional Advisors|2| |Statement of Financial Activities|3| |Balance Sheet|4| |Notes to the Financial Statements|5| |Report of the Independent Examiner|10| ## **COMMUNITY CHURCH EXMOUTH** ## **Officers and Professional Advisors** |**The Trustees**|Phillip Rogers| |---|---| ||Mark Gayler| ||Michael Byrne| ||Mary Byrne| |**Administrator**|Mark Gayler| |**Address**|The Axis Centre| ||7/9 Market Street| ||Exmouth| ||Devon| ||EX8 1HP| |**Bankers**|Santander| ||Bridle Road| ||Bootle| ||Merseyside| ||G1R 0AA| |**Independent Examiner**|Martin Woolcott| 2 ## **COMMUNITY CHURCH EXMOUTH** ## **Statement of Financial Activities** ## **For the year ended 31 March 2025** |Note

The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. ## **It is my responsibility to:** - Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, - To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5) of the Charities Act, and - To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as the trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent Examiner’s Statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention from the papers provided: - 1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or - 2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. _5 December 2025_ Martin Woolcott ACIB AAT 33 Kittersley Drive Liverton Newton Abbot TQ12 6YX 10
