Our Mission

Report of the Trustees

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Significant activities

A major emphasis of the ethos of the trust and church is to reach out and bless the people of the community in which we live, particularly those people in need. Members are encouraged to engage with other Christian charities, be active in the community and to initiate or join activities to promote the objectives of the charity. This is done by providing relevant information and by stories of success. Also, the activities of the trust are not restricted to members of DDCC but are open to all.

Sunday Celebrations

The congregation gathered weekly on Sunday mornings. We met to encourage people in their relationship with God around the overarching theme of Love, the gatherings taking place at Tolworth Recreation Centre. This rhythm continued all year through, together with weekly gatherings for children and fortnightly gatherings for teenagers who met in their age-relevant sessions.

Groups

During 2023, our members remained connected into church life in personal relationship through group interaction. A combination of online zoom meetings and in-person gatherings helped support and strengthen connection where appropriate in a hybrid approach. Gathering our senior cohort with fortnightly mid-week gatherings called Tea with the King, enabled those more isolated or at risk of loneliness the opportunity to be connected frequently with others in a social and spiritual way. This moved into a new venue in Kingston for most of the year on the shop front.

Cherish Ladies

Cherish is the ladies' ministry of Doxa Deo Family of Churches, a women's Ministry with a mission and passion to nurture, love and inspire women to become and live abundantly in all God has created and designed them to be as women. The Cherish team held teaching series and safe place moments to connect together after long periods being apart, whereby women continued to grow, share and develop in their faith journey with one another. Cherish Day events returned and were successful for the purposes of the Cherish ministry.

Next Gen Ministry

The appointment of a new Next Gen Leader in the previous year meant that support to those under 18 years of age grew even more meaningful and impactful. Children and their peers enjoyed a greater sense of community in the year. This also saw spiritual and numerical growth to continue taking place over the course of the year. At key points in the calendar year there were additional social events and community events arranged that provided opportunities to connect with new families and raise the level of friendship among the children and teenagers. The Easter, Summer and Christmas JAMs were a resounding success and reached far beyond the circles of children and families in the Congregation with strong synergy between the Kingston Campus and our Kingston City Changer Projects.

CITY CHANGER PROJECTS

Doxa Deo Community Church run a growing number of initiatives that bring faith, love and hope to our communities which we call City Changer Projects. We respond with help immediately, identifying the underlying causes and then supporting to see lasting change.

Kingston Foodbank

Formed in 2011 as part of the national charity Trussell Trust we provide emergency food, hygiene products and support to people experiencing crisis in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and campaign to end food poverty. During 2023, 5394 vouchers were issued which represented 11064 people (7460 adults and 3604 children). Food distributed were 68,7 tonnes with a value of £173,932. The Director for our food projects sits on the local authority strategy group to consider borough wide responses to food insecurity.

Fuelbank Foundation

Piloted and launched through Kingston Foodbank, during 2023 we issued 579 top up vouchers to the value of £22,063 supporting 1580 (967 adults/ 613 children) local people.

Local Pantry Kingston

The Local Pantry project was launched in the south of the borough in September 2022 as a follow-on referral project from Foodbank. The service supports families and individuals moving on from crisis through a subsidised shopping service. In 2023 we supported 82 members which account for 251 individuals (130 adults and 121 children) saving the members £77,100 over 12 months.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Growbaby Kingston

Providing support for families with children aged 0-5 years with baby clothes, equipment, formula milk and nappies. It also runs parenting support groups in partnership with the local childrens' services. In December 2023 we distributed over 2000 Christmas gifts to children and care leavers as part of Growbaby Christmas. Through the course of 2023 we have seen 2004 clients supported through this project.

Kingston United for Ukraine

Immediately following the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 we opened one of our centres on a weekly basis to act as a Welcome Space for Ukrainian families arriving in Kingston with host families. In addition we ran the rematching project for the local authority where host arrangements didn't work out, started english classes for children, organised trips to the coast and central London museums, provided space for cooking and homework clubs for families in emergency hostel accommodation and helped people into employment. Through our database we are in contact with over 400 people from Ukraine living locally.

Community Cafés

Since December 2022 we have partnered to run a weekly Community Café space in with St Peters Church Norbiton to deliver a welcome space on the Cambridge Estate area and practical support for families impacted by the cost of living challenges and the estate regeneration project.

Christmas Lunch on Jesus

Christmas Lunch on Jesus is a seasonal initiative to deliver quality festive food hampers to homes, referred by front line agencies, across South West London who would otherwise be facing a challenging Christmas. In 2023 we were able to fund, pack and deliver 1103 hampers across 12 London boroughs, Elmbridge and Surrey. Tolworth Recreation Centre, the largest venue in Kingston, offered us their venue rent free to be able to run the project. We are grateful for their continuing support.

Grace Advocacy Kingston

Working directly with individuals and families struggling with complex issues to bring resolution and stability in areas of finance, benefits, housing, health, and social care we are working to establish advocacy centres as part of each Impact Centre where other services are offered. During 2023 we have seen 343 clients benefitting from this project with financial gain of £187,400.

Employment Worx Kingston

With the aim of creating pathways to employability this project started in 2023 as part of the financial inclusion work funded by the Trussell Trust we have seen 11 clients returning to work with a financial gain of £86,500.

Caring for Prison Leavers

During 2023 we supported 3 individuals and their immediate families. We aim to provide practical care and support for those serving sentences or leaving prison through visiting, writing, helping with the initial days after release and ongoing encouragement. We also support projects working with prison leavers in the Merton area through our Christmas Lunch on Jesus project.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

Members of the church volunteer their time with several other local charities including: Kingston Street Pastors, Kingston Churches Action on Homelessness, and Voices of Hope. The trust did not financially contribute to any of these charities in 2023.

Kingston Ecumenical Work

Doxa Deo Community Church continued to facilitate conversation between local church leaders from across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames together with civic leaders and parliamentary leaders to continue the high level of contribution to the borough following the Covid-19 crisis. These helped continue the sense of cohesion across the borough and strengthened the building up of healthy relationships between church and local agencies. Monthly prayer meetings were facilitated through our direct interaction along with the continued effective contribution of our City Changer Projects through other local church interaction for the upliftment and strengthening of the borough.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

London Ecumenical Work

Doxa Deo Community Church continues to connect with local church leaders from across the city. We worked closely with the Pioneer Network of churches, Christchurch London, and the Everything Movement. We were also part of a London group led by the Gather Movement and contributed to their national conference

We concluded the first round of City Changers Learning Communities for church leaders in the London Pioneer Network and will most definitely look to bring this back in the future.

DOXA DEO CIC - SUBSIDIARY

The Doxa Deo CIC, a subsidiary of Doxa Deo community Church, launched The Abbey coffee shop in Tolworth, launched in August 2023, has quickly become a central hub for Doxa Deo Community Church activities at the Tolworth Recreation Centre. These include Kingston Foodbank, Local Pantry, Growbaby, Employment Worx, and KidsROC, among others. Every purchase contributes to making a positive impact in the lives of families and individuals in our community.

Public benefit

In planning the activities of the trust the trustees have considered the Commission's guidance on Public Benefit and the advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit.

Grantmaking

It remains the policy of the trustees to make donations to causes, which share our objects, outside the church.

Volunteers

All of the trust's activities make significant use of volunteers without whom none of the activities could function. Some are responsible for the organisation and efficient running of activities and many contribute significant skills.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

General

The involvement of members of the church in community-based projects has been encouraged during the year by the teaching programme, by disseminating information on local initiatives by other groups and by success stories. Several members serve on a voluntary basis in City Changer Projects which continues to develop.

Sunday morning worship and teaching meetings with concurrent children and youth groups have run well with a varied programme and continued to attract visitors and new members, chiefly through the church's website.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

The main source of funding is gifts from church members who are encouraged to give regularly using gift aid.

Investment policy and objectives

Funds not required for current running of the trust are invested a CCLA deposit account to produce the maximum returns without compromising security.

Reserves policy

The trustees believe the Trust requires sufficient level of reserves to enable it to continue to function in the short term (6 months) should there be a major decline in the level of giving to the Trust by members of DDCC. These members represent the chief source of the Trust's funds.

The trustees are aware that there would be additional costs if there was need to make staff redundant. The level of reserves is therefore considered satisfactory but the trustees will highlight a deficit in current income/expenditure to church members if needed.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of DOXA DEO COMMUNITY CHURCH

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of DOXA DEO COMMUNITY CHURCH

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of DOXA DEO COMMUNITY CHURCH (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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.

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
