## **Christ Church Central Leeds Trustees’ Annual Report For the Year Ended 30[th] September 2025** 

## **Objects of the charity** 

The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation and is governed by its Constitution.  The objects of the charity, as set out in the governing document are: 

- a) to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs in such ways and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the charity trustees from time to time may think fit; 

- b) to relieve sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health by the provision of funds, goods or services of any kind, including through the provision of counselling and support in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the charity trustees from time to time may think fit. 

The trustees note that the Church is not a building, but a gathering of ordinary people of different ages and backgrounds, whose lives have been changed by Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The New Testament reveals the Church as a community of people, properly taught and cared for, who by loving and serving Jesus Christ, were also committed to love and care for each other and to bring a blessing to the area in which they lived. Christ Church Central Leeds, its trustees, elders and members are committed to the restoration of those New Testament principles. It is not alone in this, it is one of many Churches in the area, country and all over the world that is re-discovering the excitement of knowing Jesus Christ. The vision is to see the people of Leeds come into this experience of knowing Jesus as their Lord, Saviour and friend. 

## **Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements** 

To further the above objects and vision, the charity's main activities and achievements were as follows: 

1. Events: The weekly pattern continues to be as follows: 

   - a. Sunday: In the morning all ages Sunday School followed by formal service. In the evening during university term time, a shorter reflective service. 

   - b. Mid-week: community groups in homes, with a central prayer meeting on the first Wednesday of the month. 

   - c. Thursday: Focus meeting for students. 

2. Employment of an Associate Minister continued until the end of August 2025, to the completion of his three-year contract. A Trainee Minister and Student and Children’s Worker are now in post to assist the Minister in the overall tasks of the church and to take responsibility for work with students. 

3. We have retained use of the same venue close to the University for Sunday mornings and again reorganised the main room to cope with an increased number of attendees. In September 2025, the weekly Sunday morning congregation had grown to over 200. 

4. Further fund-raising to enable the growth of the church. 

5. Alleviation of hardship within the church and the City of Leeds, and further afield by means of a collection at Sunday morning services. 

2 



Most of the charity's activities are undertaken by volunteers and the charity could not operate effectively without their efforts. 

In planning the activities, the trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

Responsibility for setting policy and for making operating decisions rests with the trustees who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity. Responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the charity rests with a senior management team comprising the Elders of the Church along with the Trainee Minister who meet monthly. New trustees are recruited and appointed by the existing trustees and are appointed by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. 

## **Financial Review** 

During the year, income increased by £229,325, to £485,149, and expenditure increased by £48,085, to £225,688.  As a result, surplus for the year increased by £181,240 to £259,461 and the charity's net assets increased by the same amount, to £620,764. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The trustees have determined that the charity should aim to hold unrestricted cash of no less than £85,000 (which equates to about 6 months' of unrestricted expenditure) so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely.  At the year end, the charity held unrestricted cash of £583,804 and the charity is complying with its reserves policy. The holding of reserves facilitates the permanent establishment of the church. In this context, the employment of additional staff has continued. The purchase of a permanent church building continues to be an urgent and top priority. 

## **Key risks and uncertainties** 

The charity is exposed to various risks be they operational, financial, or reputational. The trustees review the charity’s activities regularly to identify significant risks and, where possible, they take appropriate measures to mitigate those risks. 

## **Responsibilities of Trustees under charity law** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year.  In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

1. select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

2. observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

3. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

4. state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

5. prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

3 



The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.  They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **CHRIST CHURCH CENTRAL LEEDS** 

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30[TH] SEPTEMBER 2025** 

## **1. Statutory Information** 

The Charity is a charitable incorporated organisation registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales. The Charity’s registered number and principal address can be found on the Charity Information page. 

## **2. Accounting Policies** 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102") and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102. 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention. 

The current year's and previous year's accounts were prepared using the accruals basis. 

The financial statements are presented in sterling (£). 

The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out in the accounting policies below. 

## **a) Going Concern** 

The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.  In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly.  The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. 

## **b) Income** 

Income including investment income is recognised in the period the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable that the resources will be received, and the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received.  Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period. 

All voluntary income from members of the charity are recognised as donations and are included in full, with associated Gift Aid receivable in the Statement of Financial Activities. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor. 

8 



Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of specific performance by the charity are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. 

Investment Income is included in the accounts when receivable. 

Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects.  It includes income from church retreats and other events. 

## **c) Expenditure** 

Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity. 

The cost of raising funds is not significant and has not been separately disclosed. 

Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, primarily include costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements as well as compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity. Governance costs are shown within ‘Charitable Expenditures’ note. 

## **d) Fund Accounting** 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.  Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes.  Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts. Endowment funds are donations that are retained as capital in accordance with the donor’s wishes. The nature of the restriction determines whether the endowments represent permanent endowments or expendable endowments. 

## **e) Liability Recognition** 

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources. 

## **f) Tangible Fixed Assets** 

Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £1,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period.  Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life.  To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged: 

9 



*Equipment - 3 to 7 years on straight line basis 

The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. 

## **g) Pensions** 

The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees.  Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises.  The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds. 

## **h) Taxation** 

The charity has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income. 

## **i) Cash flow exemption** 

The charity has taken advantage of an exemption conferred by the Charities SORP and has not prepared a cash flow statement. 

## **j) Operating Leases** 

Rental charges applicable under operating agreements where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
