Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
Objectives and activities Objectives and aims
The charity's objects are, for the benefit of the public:
1.The advancement of the Christian religion; and
2.The furtherance of the charitable work of the charity by the advancement of such other charitable purposes as the Trustees shall from time to time decide.
Significant activities
We held our Sunday weekly services at All Saints Centre, Grays in Essex, which were also broadcasted live on our YouTube Channel, KICCTFOG Online and also held our mid-week evening services on Tuesdays and Thursdays online and virtually via Zoom throughout the year under review. We also successfully held our third Christmas and Crossover Services on the 25th and the 31st of December 2024, which were very well attended. We also organised our second Children's Summer Camp during the second week of August 2024 with 67 children in attendance and we received very positive feedback from both the children and their parents.
We continued to provide food bank services and other welfare support for people who are going through financial hardships and other community support services in the Grays area of Thurrock. We continued to participate in the annual Christmas Hamper Challenge, a Kingsway International Christian Centre Christmas initiative that distributes 1000 Christmas Hampers to needing families every year. We also donated useful provisions and groceries to two Old Peoples' Homes in the Grays area, as well as donating the sum of £3,000 to Christ Compassion for the Rural World, £3,000 to Home for The Needy charity, £500 to Good News For Everyone South East (formerly known as The Gideons) and provided welfare support for our members to the tune of £3,300 during the year under review.
Public benefit
The trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
Volunteers
The charity has volunteers who assist the church in achieving its objectives.
Financial review
Financial position
The charity reported a total income of £163,979 and a net surplus of £43,512 in the year to 31 March 2025. As of 31 March 2025, accumulated funds were £358,280, all of which were unrestricted funds.
Incoming resources were mainly donations that we received in our weekly services in the form of tithes and offerings from our members and worshippers, interest income and gift aid claimed from HMRC during the period under review.

Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
Financial review
Reserves policy
The trustees aim to retain sufficient free reserves at a level which enables the Charity to:
-
finance fixed assets and day to day operating activities.
-
enable the Charity to cope financially during times of below average performance and cover operational overheads and salaries for at least six months.
-
have additional resources available to cope with revenue and capital requirements arising in the next few years as the charity strives to grow and expand in size in terms of its membership and the level of services it provides.
-
have enough funds to enable the Charity to acquire its own premises in the Thurrock area in the near future.
Going concern
At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
Future plans
In addition to providing pastoral care, career and educational counselling and ministry to our members and worshippers, we plan to engage in a number of outreach and evangelistic events and activities, identify ways to collaborate with other churches and denominations in supporting the homeless and offering support services to elderly peoples' homes in the Grays area.
We plan to continue to provide food bank services and other welfare support for our members and other people who are going through financial hardships and other community support services in the Grays area of Thurrock. We also plan to hold our third Children's Summer Camp at our Church premises at All Saints Centre, Grays during the month of August 2025, as well as a Workshop for A-Level, Undergraduates, New Graduates and Apprenticeship Students titled, "Taking The Leap - Navigating Your New Chapter of Living Independently" that will cover a host of topics in early September 2025.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of KICC THE FOUNTAIN OF GRACE ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also 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 Company 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 your charity's accounts as 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 Company 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.
