In preparing this Report the Trustees have considered the Charity Commissioner’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.

It is policy for new trustees to receive a copy of the Constitution, latest Annual Report and Financial Statements and Church Budget. Details are also provided of the Charity Commission Guide, CC3: The Essential Trustee - What you need to know, what you need to do.
## Review of events of the year – 2025
1. The church continued to use digital technology as an option to reach both church members and the unchurched community. This included using the YouTube channel for showing sermons and Zoom for online meetings. There was also good use of the Coastlands website and Facebook pages.
2. The church continued to meet on Sunday mornings at the The Columbine Centre. Church members also met in small ‘Life Groups’ either in homes, the Coastlands Community Centre or on Zoom.
3. The church based “Busybees” Parents and Toddlers group continued to meet at the Coastlands Community Centre in High Street, Walton. Important contact continues to be made through the work to parents, children and other family members living in the local area.
4. The church premises at 34 Newgate Street continued to be rented out through a letting agent to a local care agency business. The rental income received was used to help fund church general activities.
5. Support of those involved in mission was shown by committing part of our general income towards Christian projects. This giving was directed through various channels of work as follows:
- (i) Open Doors – providing relief assistance worldwide Christians persecuted for their faith.
- (ii) Christian Mission and Relief work in India – this included support for a Christian pastor and his wife who work amongst some of the poorest communities in India. From this couple a project called the “Living Hope Centres” continued. This project aims to provide basic foods, medicines and self-support schemes. The Centres also combined this relief work with proclaiming the Gospel.

A special gift received in December 2020 of £26,514 for the work of the “Living Hope Centres” has been treated as Restricted Funds and is held in a reserve bank account for distribution for this specific purpose when required. At the end of December 2025 there remained a balance of £13,231 unspent.

- (iv) Mano&Mano Ministries – Donations were given to Mano & Mano Ministries in Ecuador to support the work of a Christian based school.
6. The church supported the Frinton Mission (FM), held in August 2025. The Mission was organised by ‘Frinton Area Churches Together’ (FACT) of which the church is also a member. During the year, Coastlands helped to start the process of incorporating Walton churches within Frinton Area Churches Together. This is aimed to build on unity with all local churches and their leaders wherever possible. Coastlands also took part in other joint church meetings such as a United Pentecost service and United Worship meetings.
7. The team of Elders continued to oversee the spiritual leadership of the church. This team consisted of Denis Bradshaw, Mark Rowland, Sarah Rowland and Joe Webster. Each of the Elders head up leadership teams called “Reaching Up”, Reaching Out”, Reaching In” and “Support” Teams.
8. The church spiritual leadership have concentrated on the training of church members through the different church teaching and preaching programmes. Mr Mark Rowland remains the Pastor of the church. Mrs Sarah Rowland acts as Associate Pastor.
9. The church organised “Alpha” courses for adults along with a “Youth Alpha” course. Alpha is aimed to attract people who want to explore the Christian faith.

## TRUSTEES REPORT - 2025
14. The remainder of a legacy received from a benefactor associated with Coastlands Community Church remains in an investment account with Kingdom Bank. If necessary, it had been decided by the trustees that the funding of the self-employed Ignite workers should come from reserves held from the legacy money. Reserves had also been earmarked to help fund the Church Centre Building Project. See also Reserves Policy statement below.
15. A “Partners” scheme continued during the year in order to establish a formal framework of church supporters for the work of the church. Communications to Partners had been maintained during the year with the use of meetings, emails, letters and other digital means.
16. Coastlands Community Centre continued to be used for various church activities such as church services, Busybees, Ignite, Companion’s Café, Alpha, Community Events, Prayer meetings and Partners meetings. The Centre continues to be a very useful resource for the church.
17. A “Companion’s Café” continued to meet at the church centre. These were weekly meetings for lonely adults aged 55 or over. Refreshments and social activities were provided by a team of church volunteers. It also became a “Warm Hub” by providing a heated environment for those struggling with energy poverty.
## Reserves Policy
The following factors have been taken into account in arriving at the Reserves Policy:
- (i) A plan to hold six months running costs (unrestricted expenditure) in cash reserves so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely. This equates to £45,000
- (ii) To allocate one year’s total cost of funding the Ignite Youth & Children’s work. This work cannot be met from normal income and so is expected to be funded from reserves. This equates to £31,000.
- (iii) Providing a contingency sum for possible loss of six months rental income from the Newgate Street property due to loss of tenants or non-payment of rent. This equates to £4,600.
- (iv) Setting aside contingency sums to cover any major repairs or replacement equipment to the church buildings at Newgate Street and Coastlands Community Centre. This equates to £35,000
At the end of the year, the charity held unrestricted cash of £115,597 and the charity is complying with its reserves policy.
## Future Plans – 2026
1. To continue to use and utilise the much improved facilities at the Coastlands Community Centre for both current and future groups and activities.
2. To continue with the established team of church Elders to maintain spiritual leadership, assist the pastor and associate pastor and to provide a secure framework and guide in the vision of the church. The Elders and Pastors will also look to raise up and encourage new people for the established leadership teams of “Reaching Up”, “Reaching Out”, “Reaching In” and “Support” teams.
3. To train, support and encourage the members in the congregation. To maintain the unity of the whole Coastlands church by continuing in its online and in-person meetings, Life Groups, Freedom in Christ and other activities.

# COASTLANDS COMMUNITY CHURCH INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF COASTLANDS COMMUNITY CHURCH
I have examined the accounts of Coastlands Community Church for the year ended 31 December 2025 which are set out on pages 9 to 18.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
* To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under **section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
* To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented by those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present "a true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
* to keep accounting records in accordance with s130 of the 2011 Act; and
* to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting *requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The building is to continue to be used as a Community Centre, Place of Worship and Christian gospel activities. Taking into account that the property is both non-commercial and non-residential the trustees estimate the value of the property to be in the region of £300,000 taking into account the addition of the front and rear annexes in 2025 (2024 - £100,000).
