TRINITY CHURCH NOTTINGHAM Financial Statements for the year to 31 December 2025 Directors Trustees' Report (1)
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) ''Accounting and Reporting by Charities'' FRS 102 in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
Objectives & Aims of the Charity
The objectives of the CIO are to advance the Christian faith for the benefit of the public, by serving and reaching for Christ.

Establishing missionary work
The vision of the Trinity Church is to see, "The Church on Fire", a city alive. As such it is our intent, to act in such waysthat, aligned to the Charity's purpose, bring this about.
Public Benefit
The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and consider that the activities of the charity meet its charitable objectives and provide a benefit to the public.
Achievements and Performance
In 2025 we continued to pursue our vision to see the Church on Fire and the City Alive by learning to TRY. We held our first TRY conference with Jordan Seng, and began a cultural shift that has seen us share stories of how God is at work in our everyday lives ever since. It was also a year of sending, as we planted a team into St. Paul’s Carlton led by Beth and Luke Resch, accompanied by many in Trinity’s leadership pipeline and staff team. Funding for that project was part of the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham’s ambitious bid to the Church of England’s Strategic Mission and Ministry Investment Board to support a decade-long programme which builds on fruitful mission and ministry in recent years. We mentioned this decision which also released funds for the re-ordering of St. Andrew’s, last year and benefited from them with the appointment of an Associate Pastor for Church Planting and Leadership Development at Trinity in June 2025. We thank God for the way we are seeing him at work in Trinity, across TABLE E.Mids, and in the national TABLE family, and continue to pray that he would pour out the power of his Spirit and revive his Church.
Volunteers
We would like to express our thanks to the many volunteers who support the various teams including hospitality, kids, youth, set-up, worship, production. In the current period the number of volunteers was 60 (2024 60)

TRINITY CHURCH NOTTINGHAM Financial Statements for the year to 31 December 2025 Notes to the Financial Statements
1 Accounting Policies
1.1a Basis of preparation
The charity is a 'public benefit entity'. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. The CIO has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements as permitted by FRS 102
- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows
1.1b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The Charity reported a Surplus of £10,750 for the year ended 31 December 2025. The trustees are of the view, that given the Charity's reserve position, and outlook of support for the next 12 months, that the charity is a going concern.
1.2 Resources Expended
Expenditure is accounted for on an accrual basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, costs have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure and it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement of the obligation, and can be reliably measured.
1.3 Donations and Voluntary Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to funds and it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Donations and Voluntary Income are accounted for when received.
1.4 Grants Receivable
Grants for immediate expenditure are accounted for when they become receivable. Grants received for specific purposes are treated as restricted funds.
1.5 Grants Payable
Grants Payable are accounted for when they are paid.
1.6 Allocation of Costs & Restricted Fund Accounting
Costs have been allocated between charitable activity and governance costs Where items involve more than one fund they are apportioned between categories, and apportioned to fund based on the estimated expenditure of resource according to the nature of cost. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The aim and use of restricted funds is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.7 Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Fixed Assets for charity use are capitalised at cost, or valuation if donated. Depreciation is calculated to write off the assets. Less their estimated residual value, over their useful lives on the following basis:
PA Equipment 4 years straight line basis Office Equipment 4 years straight line basis
Depreciation commences in the year after purchase or commissioning
