IKON CHURCH (REGISTERED NUMBER: 1175422)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR 1 JANUARY 2024 to 31 DECEMBER 2024

The Trustees are pleased to present their Annual Report together with the consolidated financial statements of the charity for the year ending 31 December 2024.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Constitution of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, incorporated 27 October 2017, and 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 2015).

IKON Church is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation whose only voting members are its charity trustees.

Our Purposes and Activities

The objects of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation are for the benefit of the public:

● to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the statement of faith in the county of Derbyshire and other such parts of the United Kingdom or the World as the Charity Trustees may from time to time decide; and

● the relief of persons who are in need by reason of financial hardship, ill-health, sickness, age and other social or economic disadvantage

The Vision, Mission and Values that shape our annual activities are as follows:

The strategies employed to achieve the charity’s aims and objectives are outworked in the following areas:

1

MULTI-SITE CHURCH

IKON Church is a multi-site church with 4 Campuses:

GRANTMAKING

Grants are given to related groups and individuals who are involved in missions work both in the UK and overseas. The spiritual leadership (Core Leadership) of IKON Church makes decisions on where to make grants and they meet every month. Several of the trustees are also members of this team.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The trustees consider that the activities undertaken by IKON Church provide a public benefit to those who attend IKON Church and those in the wider community and we have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and complied with section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act when reviewing our aims and objective.

LEADERSHIP

IKON Church has a Core Leadership that oversees the operations and activities of the Church. Our next tier of leadership we call our Ministry Team; This changed in 2024 as we focused specifically on 8 ministries. This team is comprised of our Core Leadership Team along with Campus Pastors who are not a part of the Core Team and key department heads, namely, Creative, Youth and Kids’ ministry. Both these senior teams meet regularly (monthly). The next tier of leadership we call Leadership Community and this comprises our Core Team, Ministry Team and the leadership teams from within each campus. This group comprises around 100 people and meets quarterly.

2

As well as the things stated above IKON seeks to develop leadership in young people through the IKON Leadership Academy and our Youth leadership Team. In many areas within IKON Church young people are empowered and encouraged to lead. We consider this to be a priority.

Leadership Training: IKON Church continued its programme of leadership training through our staff retreat, the IKON Leadership Academy and location-led leadership training. In 2024 some of this training was delivered online as well as in person.

We invested in the training of campus pastors through the Accelerate leadership programme which is run by Steve and Rachel Mawston. We also continued internal coaching for campus pastors during 2024. Some of our campus pastors also were enrolled on a course to develop their preaching.

WEEKEND SERVICES AND EVENTS

In 2024 IKON Church continued weekend services in all campuses and streamed the Chesterfield morning services online. Online engagement continued to be strong with over 470 people engaging with services as they happened, plus more on catch up. In person numbers were over 400 on an average weekend.

Our Children’s and Youth ministries within IKON Church remain strong. GOO Play, our midweek parent and toddler group, remained active in 2024.

We continued to see new people join regularly as well as seeing people come to faith.

In 2024 we had several events in addition to Sunday services as listed below:

3

for families in the community, we held a Christmas toy appeal which reached over 300 local children in need and also a pop-up uniform shop, giving away pre-loved uniforms to families.

The bimonthly Imagine (our women’s ministry) continues. Imagine Conference was a great success in 2024, where we hosted Ulrika Stenstrand as our main guest.

GROUPS AND COURSES

Connect Groups: IKON Church has a network of small groups and in 2024 the number signed up for these groups was around 400, with average attendance of around 200 each week.

Pastoral Care: Through our connect group system (small groups that meet in homes or online) and the availability of staff pastors, IKON Church is able to provide pastoral care and support for people within the community. Several hundred people attend these groups each fortnight and staff pastors serve others continuously.

Next Steps: This is our course for new believers and people being introduced to IKON Church.

IKON Leadership Academy: Our Leadership Academy had a different year while we spend time reimagining it for the future. We changed the program to accommodate alumni as well as first time students. We attracted a larger group because of this and all teaching was held online.

IKON Church considers that its services and groups allow people to be educated in the Christian faith and also receive the care and support that they need.

COMMUNITY

Our community activities made impact in the following way:

GOO summer holiday club: another successful holiday club was held, with over 150 different children attending.

GOO Play: This is our weekly mums and toddlers group during term time which ran throughout the year.

GOO Easter Fun-day: This is a one day event for children held over the Easter holidays, reaching many families in the local community in 2024.

Monday Night Football: Each Monday during term time in 2024 we held an evening of football at a school in Chesterfield.

4

Family Fun Day: In August we hosted our annual Family Fun Day, attracting many families with activities including a family service, face painting, bouncy castles and a free BBQ.

Imagine evenings: Every two months throughout 2024 we hosted an evening for women

Online services: In 2024 we continued our streaming of online services and saw multiple new individual connections from this venture.

Uniform pop-up shop: For the first time, we hosted a pre-loved school uniform pop-up shop and invited the community to collect free uniforms. This was well received.

Marriages and funerals: IKON Church provides pre-marital counselling for couples intending to get married as well as a full marriage ceremony.

IKON Church carries out funerals in line with the teachings of the Christian faith and at such time provides services such as pastoral care that are of benefit to bereaving family members.

Acts of Kindness: We relaunched this initiative in our Chesterfield campus during 2024. Through Acts of Kindness, we provide food parcels for the most vulnerable families in the area. We partner with several organisations working with the most deprived.

Toy Appeal: Partnering with local agencies that are serving vulnerable families in the Chesterfield area we launched a toy appeal and we were able to provide toys for over 300 children from these families.

Big Christmas Show: we provided 4 free Christmas shows in December 2024, which included a Santa’s grotto, for the community. Over 1000 people attended the shows.

Furnished homes: Through Acts of Kindness we were also able to furnish with essentials several families that needed to be rehoused quickly.

From our many community activities we have seen new people connect and become a part of IKON Church and as a result several have begun to explore the Christian faith for themselves.

CHILDREN, YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS

Children: Each weekend we hold GOO activities for ages 4-10 in all of our services. For nursing mums and parents with young toddlers we have a baby room at our Chesterfield and Stocksbridge locations. We also have the events listed above.

5

Youth: Every Friday we have youth activities and these continue to be successful evenings, growing the youth presence within IKON Church.

Young Adults & Students: In 2024 we ran connect groups with a specific focus on this age group.

OPERATIONS

Policies and Procedures

Over the last year, we have continued to review and update policies and procedures across IKON Church so that we function in a safe manner.

Each time the trustees meet two policies are reviewed and updated as required.

Website: Our website allows us to help those outside the church find out who we are and what we have on offer. We have seen a number of people come to the church through the website.

Social Media: IKON Church has a strong social media presence across all of our locations and across the following platforms: Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

YouTube: Our YouTube subscribers grew to over 970 in 2024.

Church Online: This is the platform where we stream our services (alongside streaming on YouTube) The number of connections each Sunday on this platform remained strong throughout 2024.

VOLUNTEERS

In 2024 we had an average of 140 volunteers serve our services each week, plus other volunteers in our midweek activities.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The accounts show income of £477,176 (2023: £458,258) and outgoings of £486,463 (2023: £607,133).

The reserves at 31 December 2024 stood at £276,016 (2023: £285,303). The readily available reserves at 31 December 2024 stood at £58,777 (2023: £60,887), of which £3,770 (2023: £2,765) were restricted funds.

6

The financial position remains satisfactory, However, the trustees have taken action to reverse the deficits that we have seen over the last few years. These were expected following the merger with the Hub Church in 2020 but not at the level we have seen. The sub-group within the trustees called “back to black’ have continued to meet and they have scrutinised and tightened budgets significantly. Also staffing changes were made at the end of 2023 including a redundancy.

The Trustees have reviewed the charity's needs for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission. The principal source of income is from free will offerings which are received on a weekly or monthly basis. The Trustees closely monitor income and expenditure and endeavour to ensure the free reserves are satisfactory. The Trustees recognised that income would now need to match and exceed expenditure going forward.

Future Plans

The future plans include the ongoing development of our campuses at Chesterfield, Stocksbridge and Sheffield. We are looking to strengthen our operations further as we want to see the church continue to grow and therefore in 2025 we will continue to review our church management, policies and procedures further.

Our leadership will continue to be remodelled to cope with the expansion and improvements that are needed.

We continue to seek improved facilities for several of our campuses.

In 2024 we began partnering with Stocksbridge Library who have moved into our building for a period of 2 years bringing significant additional income. We are also looking at other potential uses for parts of the Stocksbridge building.

Our Chesterfield campus has added an extra Sunday morning service in 2025, totalling three Sunday services total every week in this campus, due to positive attendance growth.

· the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Offsetting There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless
required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
Grants and Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income
donations recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
Government grants All relevant grants are detailed in note 4.
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the
Tax reclaims on donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that
donations and gifts gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the
donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
Donated services Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of
and facilities the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as
income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate
heading in the SOFA.
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. The split of costs disclosed in
Support costs note 5 reflects the type of cost with support costs easily identifiable. In relation to
salaries, note 7.2 gives the split of the employed role for this purpose.
Volunteer help The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is

and dividends		 This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable
can be measured reliably.
Restricted giving Restricted giving is monitored and allocated to specific funds based on the purpose
specified by the donor.
Where cumulative restricted giving for a single fund does not exceed £250 in the
financial year, we have not disclosed these amounts within restricted income in the
accounts, as: they are not material; the expenditure is incurred in the usual course of
business; and the administration required to allocate these disclosures within note 4
and 5 would not be prudent.

Where we have an existing fund set up, requested support in an area, or where cumulative restricted giving in the financial year for a single fund exceeds £250, we have included such amounts though the restricted funds disclosed in the accounts and within note 12.
