## **Trustees’ report For the year ended 31 December 2025**
The Trustees of the charity have pleasure in submitting their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the Charity’s Constitution and applicable law.
## **Structure, governance and management**
Christ Church Endcliffe CIO was registered with the Charity Commission on 27 June 2017 with charity number 1173584. It is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and is governed by its Constitution.
Members of Christ Church Endcliffe CIO vote at the Annual Church Meeting to appoint new Trustees.
At every annual general meeting of the members of the CIO one-third of the elected charity Trustees shall retire from office. All Trustees are required to assent annually to the church’s statement of belief. The responsibility for the overall strategy, policy, finance and appointments of the charity rest with the Trustees, who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity
Those who attend the church services on a regular basis may sign an application for membership of Christ Church Endcliffe CIO, allowing members to vote at the ACM. There were 111 (2024: 115) members on the Membership List at the date of the ACM.
## **History**
Christ Church Endcliffe was a church plant from Christ Church Fulwood (charity number 1134057) in 2009 which continued to be legally and financially part of Christ Church Fulwood until 31 December 2017. Endcliffe established a new legal entity ‘Christ Church Endcliffe CIO’, charity number 1173584, on 27 June 2017, which was granted a Bishops’ Mission Order on 1 July 2017
## **Objects**
The objects of the charity are the advancement of the Christian faith for the benefit of the public especially within the city of Sheffield and in such parts of the United Kingdom, or the world, as the Trustees of the charity may from time to time think fit and to fulfil such other purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales and connected with the charitable work of the charity.
We have clear convictions based on the truths revealed by God in the Bible, but those attending on a Sunday do not necessarily have to be convinced Christians. We also run courses specifically designed for those wanting to find out more about the Christian faith.
We love to welcome visitors who are exploring the Christian faith. Various events take place to make it as easy as possible for the church family to bring friends to hear about the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Three basic characteristics describe us:
## **We are a Christian Church**
We believe in one God who has revealed himself supremely through his Son, Jesus Christ. It is only through faith in Jesus, trusting his death on the cross for our sins and his new resurrection life that we can come to know God and become part of his kingdom.
## **We are an Evangelical Church**
We believe that the Bible is God’s authoritative word and is therefore the definitive guide for us in all matters of faith and conduct. Furthermore, we believe that the Spirit of God achieves the work of God through the word of God, and so the study and exposition of the Bible will be the means by which God will transform the lives of individuals and the church body as a whole

## **Christ Church Endcliffe CIO**
## **Trustees’ report - continued For the year ended 31 December 2025**
## **We are an Anglican Church**
We are part of the Church of England, and hold to the great truths that were rediscovered at the time of the Reformation, including the sovereignty of God in salvation, justification by faith alone and salvation in Christ alone. However, we have church members from many different denominational backgrounds and we unite under Christ, not under one particular denominational banner.
We meet our objects by setting our vision in four main ways:
- **GLORIFY GOD** by living in the light of who he is and what he has done for us, and helping others to do the same.
- **REACHING OUT** into the community, giving opportunities for those investigating the Christian faith, and making a positive contribution to people’s lives.
- **BUILDING UP** each other in our knowledge of God, and in using the talents and resources he has given us as individuals.
- **SENDING OUT** men and women to serve God in their workplaces and their communities, and supporting the work of the worldwide church.
This is our broad vision, and remains constant from year to year.
Everything we do has the ultimate aim of trying to glorify God in our lives.
When planning our activities for the year the PCC has considered the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.
## **Review of Activities**
The church is led by Rev Ed Pennington and is ably supported by Rev Rob Bridgewater, who joined the staff team, as Associate Minister, from St John’s Chapeltown, Sheffield at the beginning of May 2018 and served in this capacity until September this year, leaving to be appointed Vicar of St John’s Owlerton..
The Rev Joël Carle joined the staff team, as Curate, in July this year following completion of his studies at Oak Hill College and having been ordained at Sheffield Cathedral.
Sarah Bradley is our Youth and Children’s Minister. In September 2022 Daniel Allen joined the staff team as our Assistant Youth and Children’s Worker. In December we said goodbye to our administrator, Rebecca Rae, and welcomed Tom Barnsley to the team. Both Sarah and Tom’s posts are part-time.
The church runs a Ministry Trainee programme. As well as receiving formal bible training, the trainees gain onthe-job experience by helping in the running of church ministry events and activities.
The focus of church activity remains the sharing of the Christian Gospel message to those who haven’t heard it and the growing to maturity in faith of existing believers.
The church seeks to reach out to the local community and beyond. Sunday services are open to all and take place every Sunday at 9.15am and 11.00am at Birkdale Preparatory School (Clarke Drive S10 2NS) and 6.00pm at St Augustine’s Church on Brocco Bank (S11 8RQ)
Sunday services remain the main focus of regular activity, together with a monthly church family prayer meeting, and our small groups which are the building blocks for church family life meeting most weeks for bible study, prayer fellowship and outreach.
Children and young people are an important part of our church family. On Sunday’s the children join us in the main service and then head out to their individual groups, whilst the young people (11-18s) have a short postservice discussion and a Sunday evening youth group.

## **Christ Church Endcliffe CIO**
## **Trustees’ report - continued For the year ended 31 December 2025**
We regularly hold events such as:
- Pre-school activities which offer structured play in a friendly, Christian environment, in particular Tiny Toes and Sticky Fingers provide an opportunity to welcome mothers, carers and others informally while their children play
- Work with children takes place during the week with Bible study groups, The Den (Reception to Year 6) meets after school on Fridays and later the same evening Cabin (Year 7 to Year 10).. We also link up with three other partner churches in the city for Connect events each term and a weekend away in the summer.
- Student events held for those from Sheffield’s two universities
- 321 courses which are intended to allow those who want to find out more about the Christian faith to do so in a more informal setting.
- Popular family events, Easter Family Fun Day and the Christmas Services were attended by many people from the local community.
- Other outreach events such as the Advent Christmas Craft Evening and the Pies and Carols give members the opportunity to invite family, friends, neighbours, work colleagues along to hear the Gospel in a relaxed environment.
## **Safeguarding**
The Trustees are responsible for implementing and overseeing the policies and procedures regarding the safeguarding of Children and Vulnerable Adults at Christ Church Endcliffe. All volunteers helping with these groups have therefore been cleared by the Disclosure and Barring Service and have, as far as possible, undergone relevant training.
The Endcliffe Church Council and staff deal with and consider a variety of areas of risk to which the church may be exposed. Such areas include health and safety issues, Disability Discrimination Act issues, employment law issues, financial controls and insurance. Where it is felt appropriate, action has been taken to mitigate risk.
## **Partnerships**
We are supporting Christ Church Hillsborough and Wadsley Bridge to partner with CAP (Christians Against Poverty) so they are able to run their Life Skills course. It is a course designed to help members gain confidence and decision-making skills to survive life on low income, and offers opportunity to hear the Gospel message.
The Church Council will continue to work with local like-minded Anglican churches to strengthen the ReNew South Yorkshire network, and especially to encourage those churches to stand together on the authority of the Bible amidst pressures from the wider church to conform to cultural changes.
## **Future Plans**
Our Vision and Partnership Sundays each year help us work towards being the church God wants us to be. We remember who we are in Christ and what our priorities should be as his people and help us refocus what we are doing as individuals and as a church family.
In 2025 our main focus was around the theme of being Rooted and Renewed. In order to encourage personal growth as disciples of God’s word retreat days throughout the year were organised. These gave church members concentrated time to reflect on God’s word, goodness and our lives as Christians. Amongst other initiatives we considered different ways to be ‘One Step Closer’ during Lent, encouraging simple daily practices that grow our relationship with God.

## **Financial Review**
Total income on unrestricted funds was £279,909 (2024: £257,600) and details can be found in the financial statements. £8,674 (2024: £17,820) was received for restricted funds of which £1,350 (2024: £1,350) was directly allocated to the Property Fund as detailed in the financial statements. The sum of £Nil (2024: £Nil) was received as designated funds.
Unrestricted expenditure of £235,363 (2024: £216,528) was spent on providing ministry, including the contribution to the diocese which largely provides the stipends for the clergy.
The result for the year was net Surplus of £7,262 (2024: £796) and adding funds brought forward at the beginning of the year, the balances reserves carried forward at 31 December 2025 was £346,746 (2024: £339,484). Of these £11,643 (2024: £27,646) are restricted funds and £275,515 (2024: £262,796) are funds designated to particular purposes as set out in note 14 of the financial statements.
As at 31 December 2025 the Charity is in a strong financial position.
## **Reserves Policy**
The Trustees have reviewed their Reserves Policy and will hold free reserves to the average value of 2 months operating costs plus £5,000 due to the reliance of the charity on uncertain donations. The policy therefore requires the charity to hold £47,725 of reserves. Free reserves of the charity at the year-end totalled £52,525 (being general reserves less fixed assets) (2024: £38,401). The Trustees continue to be mindful of, and are monitoring the reserves position..
## **Cost of Living impact**
Since the year end we have seen growth in our general income, however like most institutions we are experiencing increases in costs such as staffing costs, fuel costs and other overhead costs. The Trustees continue to monitor the situation very closely.
This Trustees have prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis, having made due assessment to the resources available and reviewed cashflow forecasts for the foreseeable future
## **Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements**
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

## **Christ Church Endcliffe CIO Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2025**
## **1 Accounting Policies**
## **(a) General**
Christ Church Endcliffe is a charitable incorporated organisation. In the event that the charity is wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is £nil per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements.
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the relevant version of the 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) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following the relevant version of the 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) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and are rounded to the nearest £.
## **(b) Revenue recognition**
Income is recognised when the organisation has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income received in advance of an event is deferred until that event takes place.
## **(c) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
## **(d) Grants to mission partners**
The church supports mission partners in the UK and around the world. Where a particular mission partner has been supported by the church for a number of years, strict compliance with the Charities' Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) may regard some arrangements as constituting constructive obligations such that future years' support is accounted for in these accounts as a liability.
Whilst the support has no final end date, the Trustees assesses mission partner funding on an annual basis and is confident that the mission partners would not view their support as an open ended obligation on the part of the Church. The annual commitment only is accounted for in these financial statements.
## **(e) Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
10
**Christ Church Endcliffe CIO Notes to the financial statements - continued For the year ended 31 December 2025**
## **1 Accounting Policies - continued**
## **(f) Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
- Equipment: 4 years straight line
- Computers: 2 years straight line
## **(g) Trade debtors**
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
## **(h) Trade creditors**
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **(i) Funds**
Unrestricted funds are donations and other income receivable or generated for the objects of the organisation without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.
Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the accounts.
Restricted Funds are those funds which the trustees must apply to the specific purposes created either by donors’ request or legal obligation. These funds are therefore not available for application by the trustees for general purposes.
## **(j) Pensions**
Retirement benefits to employees of the charity are provided under contributions to the church's stakeholder pension scheme.
The charity opened an auto enrolment compliant stakeholder pension scheme with the People’s Pension to which all contributions to employees’ retirement benefits are paid in to.
All contributions to pension plans are charged to the Statement of financial activities in line with recognition of earnings and in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
## **(k) Leases**
Rental payable and receivable under operation leases are charged to the SOFA on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

**Christ Church Endcliffe CIO Notes to the financial statements - continued For the year ended 31 December 2025**
## **1 Accounting Policies - continued**
## **(l) Going Concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
