Achievements and performance
Main achievements of the Charity
This year has been marked by meaningful impact and growth across our community. Through various initiatives and programmes, we have strengthened connections, enhanced support, and expanded opportunities for meaningful participation. Our serving teams grew with the addition of new members whose skills and dedication have been vital to our ongoing efforts.
We successfully hosted two team-building conferences alongside impactful courses like Alpha and Take a Step, designed to empower our staff and volunteers with skills and tools to serve more effectively. These efforts contributed to greater community engagement, reflected in a steady increase in weekly attendance. Additionally, we celebrated seven milestones through baptisms, symbolising personal growth and commitment within our faith community.
Ministries
Children
There have been major improvements in our Children's Ministry to better serve the diverse needs of our children. By dividing the ministry into two distinct age groups—ages 1-5 and ages 6-12—we have been able to deliver age-appropriate teaching, activities, and support, ensuring that every child feels engaged and nurtured in their faith journey. The older kids have benefited from our Youth Alpha course and a Cyber course which attracted an average of 8-10 attendees weekly. These courses addressed thought-provoking faith questions and provided a foundational introduction to technology for our older kids.
Students
We attended the annual freshers event at the University of Greenwich where we actively engaged with students from various backgrounds and nationalities, offering words of encouragement, support and inviting them to try church. Following this event, we have established a dedicated Students Group to cater to the unique needs of students within our community.
Charitable Activities
Our commitment to charitable work has remained unwavering. Below are some of the activities we have undertaken this year:
-
The Mental Health Counselling Programme offered free counselling to 10 individuals, providing essential support during challenging times.
-
Medical Outreach : Our medical outreach reached over 300 people, offering free health consultations with qualified doctors and necessary medications, demonstrating our commitment to global outreach and support for underserved communities.
-
Foodbank : Through our Foodbank initiative, we distributed hampers to 20 households, impacting at least 60-100 individuals.
-
External Support : We support a lot of other charities yearly. In the past years, we've donated to charities such as The Street Child, The Maypole Project, and Royal Diadem Network. This year, we had the incredible opportunity to support Good News for All, to ensure that the gospel travels far and wide.

Achievements and performance (continued)
Supporting the Wider Communit y
To engage our local community, we hosted a Greenwich Family Fun Day, which attracted over 100 attendees. Activities included face painting, arts and crafts, nail polishing, and Easter egg hunts. The event received overwhelmingly positive feedback from the community, showcasing the church’s commitment to fostering joy and connection.
Church Buddy Programme
This year, we launched the Church Buddy Programme, which connects each church member with a dedicated support partner. Through this initiative, members benefit from one-to-one mentoring, meaningful friendships, and a stronger sense of belonging beyond the weekly services.
Fundraising activities and income generation
The principal sources of funds for The Higher Place typically include:
-
Tithes and Offerings : Regular financial contributions from church members, given as part of their faith practice.
-
Donations : Voluntary contributions from both members and external supporters, often given for specific projects or causes.
-
Fundraising Campaigns : Periodic events or campaigns aimed at raising funds for specific church activities or initiatives, such as the building fund.
-
Grants : Financial support from external organisations or charitable foundations that align with the church's mission and charitable activities.
-
Special Offerings : Dedicated offerings taken during key events, such as the Year-End Offering, which supports various initiatives like outreach or operational costs.
These sources collectively ensure that our charity can continue to support its ministries, outreach efforts, and community services.
Financial review
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
Reserves policy
As a charity, our policy is to always have 3 months’ worth of expenditure in reserve.
This is to cover unexpected costs and the general cost of continuing operations, such as staff salaries and cost of venue.
A minimum of £20,000 must be in the current account at all times.
Structure, governance and management
Constitution
The Higher Place (Disciples of the Christ Bible Church) is registered as a charitable incorporated organisation and was set up by a Trust deed.

Organisational structure and decision-making policies
The Trustees are responsible for the management and administration of the Charity along with ensuring the income of the charity furthers the charitable objects.

In addition to our internal structure, we collaborate with external partners such as local charities, community organisations, and other churches to broaden our impact and serve the wider community. These partnerships help us in areas such as outreach, mental health support, and social action initiatives.
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial . Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and 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 Companies Act 2006. 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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024
Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of The Higher Place (Disciples of the Christ Bible Church) ('the Charity')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 30 April 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the Charity (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

THE HIGHER PLACE (DISCIPLES OF THE CHRIST BIBLE CHURCH)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024
1. General information
The Higher Place is a charitable incorporated organisation which is incorporated in England. The principal place of business is Lower Deck Dreadnought Building, Greenwich Student Union, 30 Park Row, London.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The Higher Place (Disciples of the Christ Bible Church) meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
2.2 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
2.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.4 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
Page 9
THE HIGHER PLACE (DISCIPLES OF THE CHRIST BIBLE CHURCH)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.5 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.6 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
2.7 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
2.8 Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.9 Pensions
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.
2.10 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 and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
