B. Activities and Achievements
In all its activities to fulfil its Objects, the Trustees are mindful of the need to provide public
benefit and follow Charity Commission guidance as required by Section 4 of the Charities
Act 2006. This is done by supporting organisations and indNiduals whose role is OU￿ard-
facing towards the Christian and wider communty.
The principal type of activty has been to make funding available for employment and
training by other bodies.
Grant Makin
The Trustees have a clear policy establishing the procedure and criieria for making grants.
Applications are assessed by the whole trustee body together (except where one or more
recuse themselves because of a possib5e conflict of interest) and decisions reached on the
basis of the criteria being met and the expenditure being appropriate in the light of overall
resources and other commitrnents.
In providing finan￿ to support an individual, our usual arrangement is to channel this
through a charity by which the person is employed or to which they are accountable as
volunteer.
If this recipient is engaged in work with children or vulnerable adults, the Trustees satisfy
themselves that appropriate safeguarding polices are in place and implemented by the
organisation to which they are accountable.
Recipients of grants from NCCM are periodically expected to make reports to the Trustees
about their work and training so that the trustees can be satisfied that the grant is being
put to appropriate use.
Where we work
As indicated in the Objects, the geographical focus of what we do is north Cadisle. We aim
to devote around 900/0 of funds here.
The remaining 10 % may be used to support people ￿lfilling the same Objects elsewhere
in the UK, or in secondary ways of enabling Christian ministry in north Cumbria. Currently,
within our Objects, we are focusing on Ministry support in north Carlisle. We continue to
set aside the 100/0 of our funds so that they are availabbe to be used when we (as trustees)
identify needs or these are brought to our notice.
How we have used our mone
This year NCCM has been able to continue to fu￿11 its pledge to assist with funding an
Associate Minister post in the parish of St John's Houghton with St Peter's Kingmoor in
Carlisle, by monthly contributions through the Houghton Parochial Church Council.
We are planning to continue to fund this role into the future.
Although we have not done so this year, we are mindful of potential opportunities to use
the 100/0 of our funds.
C. Structure, Governance and other Policies
NCCM is governed by a board of trustees who meet four times a year to review progress
on work which is currently being supported; to consKler new requests and possibilities for
use of finance: to review regulady the operation of the charity's policies,. and to ensure that
supporters of the charity are kept infomied. We have had a combination of fa￿ to face
and online meetings this year.

Policies
The Trustees have in pla￿ the following policies, all of which we plan to review regularly..
Risk Management
The Trustees acknowledge their responsibility to identify and minimise risks and keep
such policies under review. We believe that there have been no significant risks
either financial, operab'onal or reputational in the year, nor are any anticipated.
Reserves
The Trustees are mindful of the future need to be ready to consider higher levels of
expenditure than currently, as indicated above. The Reserves Policy takes this into
account while seeking not to hold onto funds unnecessarily which could otheNise be
used charitably. Current operating commitments are fully covered by existing cash
balances.
Employment
Although not yet used, NCCM has a policy in place ft)r this.
Investment
The Trustees are of the view that long-lenn risk-based investrnent of funds is
inappropriate for the objects of NCCM. Operating funds are held in a Charities Aid
Foundation current account and funds surplus to immediate requirements are
invested through CAF Bank in savings accounts wrth Shawbrook Bank. The amount
saved in this way is regularly reviewed.
Data Protection
The Trustees have taken the steps necessary to be compliant with the General Data
Protection Regulation since rt became operative in May 2018.
Trustee recruitment and Induction
The Trustees have adopted a policy to ensure that the composition of the trustee
board is reviewed annually and that trustees are recruited with the necessary range
of skills and attributes needed to lead and oversee the work of the charity. Also that
those selected to become trustees are fully acquainted with the operation of the
charty and of their responsibilities both legally and practically.
The other policies we have are Grant Making policy, Conflict of Interest policy, Complaints
handling policy & Anti-money laundering policy. All policies will be available on our website
once they have been reviewed. www.northcarlislechristianminist
.or
.uk
D. Property and Finance
Pro
NCCM owns no property but has free use of St Peterfs Church Office as its Registered
Address.
Administrative costs
These have been kept to a minimum. The main outgoing being the rna1ntenan￿ of the
website, which has gone up slightly this year and occasional printing of publicity materials.
NCCM (Chanty 1169469)

Annual Rep)rt 2024

Fundraisin
NCCM employs no people in fund-raising; expends no money on fijnd-raising beyond
providing printed material,. relies upon word of mouth and presentations in supporting
churches to make its work knovm.
Thus less than 1 Ok of NCCM'S income in the year has been expended on administration.
Accounts
The accounts for the twelve month period ended 31 St March 2024 are appended. They
show a current balance which. together with bank standing orders from donors, is more
than sufficient to maintain the viability of the charity, and the ongoing funding of the
Associate Minister post as explained above.
The charity holds no funds on behalf of any other body.
E. SLqt•ment of Trustee Responsibllities
The Trustees are required by current Charities legislation to prepare financial statements
for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Charity's financial activities
during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing the financial
statements giving a true and fair view, the Trustees a￿ required to follow best practice
and:
(a) Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
(bl Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
(c)
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of
recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures
disclosed or explained in the financial statements.
(d) Prepare the financial statement on an ongoing basis unless it is inappropriate
to assume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with
reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity, and which enable them to ensure
that the financial statements comply with applicable law and regulations. They are also
responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charrty and hence for taking reasonable
steps for the prevention and detection of fraud. money laundering and other irregularities.
It is our belief that we have faithfully and Su￿sSfullY discharged these duties during the
period from 1st April 2023 to 315t March 2024.
