BRISTOL CCRC TRUST
Trustee’s annual report for the year ending 31 December 2025
The Board of Trustees present their report and accounts for Bristol CCRC Trust for the period ending 31 December 2025.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing documents
Bristol CCRC Trust was established under a Memorandum of Association that established its objects and powers and is governed under its Articles of Association. Members of the charitable company guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of winding up.
Structure
The Board of Trustees is responsible for the governance and management of Bristol CCRC Trust which includes St Nicholas Bristol (launched in September 2018).
The leadership of the churches’ activities, development of its spiritual life and its daily management has been delegated to a Core Leadership Team of each church who are supported in that role by the Senior Leaders (Rev Toby Flint for St Nicholas Bristol), clergy and staff. The Board of Trustees retains final decisions over policies, employment of staff and finance, and takes responsibility for all matters of legal and regulatory compliance and safeguarding.
Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no financial benefit from the charity. Trustees are appointed by ordinary resolution by members, existing trustees or by the Bishop of Bristol in her corporate capacity.
Decision Making
All financial and strategic decisions over £10,000 are taken by the majority of the Board of Trustees. Any financial and strategic decisions over £5,000 are taken by the senior leadership and treasurer. The organisational implementation of the strategy is carried out by senior leadership, clergy and staff.
Training
All staff, volunteers and trustees undergo a recruitment and selection process, followed by an induction period that includes any training considered necessary to effectively perform their role. The senior leader of the church is a member of clergy, whose pay is set via stipend, the level of which is set by the Diocese.
Volunteers
The church benefits from the dedicated work of a great number of volunteers totalling around 200. These volunteers are involved in all areas of the church’s day to day activities and play a large role in assisting the charity in meeting the aims and objectives. In accordance with FRS 102 and the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the economic contribution of general volunteers is not recognised in the accounts.
Risk Management
Internal financial risks are managed by the implementation of financial procedures for the collection, banking and recording of all donations and the authorisation and recording of all expenditure. The company has a safeguarding officer and a safeguarding policy that is reviewed annually. The company
Page 3
Bristol CCRC Trust, St Nicholas Church, St Nicholas Street, Bristol, BS1 1UE Company no. 11115823. Charity no. 1178905
also has a data protection policy and a health and safety policy. Regular risk assessments and strategic planning help ensure the church remains a resilient and thriving place of worship and service.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Board of Trustees is committed to the vision statement of the charity: to play our part in the evangelisation of the nation, the revitalisation of the church and the transformation of society. In accordance with the vision statement, St Nicholas Bristol aim to meet their objectives through the provision of public services towards social action and mission (including resourcing and planting churches), supporting communities and families and investing in worship, services and teaching. Given the diversity of the churches’ activities, performance is measured on a case by case basis.
Our objectives are set out in our governing document, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, which was agreed by the Board of Trustees on 18 December 2017.
Our objectives
The churches’ objects are restricted specifically, only for the public benefit to the advancement of the Christian religion principally:
-
through the provision of an Anglican place of worship in Bristol, and
-
by contributing towards the establishment, renewal and revitalisation of churches within the Anglican communion.
Public Benefit
In accordance with our duties as stated in section 17(5) of the Charities Act, we have considered the guidance provided by the Charity Commission in regard to public benefit. This public benefit has been demonstrated by the activities undertaken since inception of the charity outlined in this document.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
In 2025, St Nicholas continued to establish itself as a resourcing church for the City.
Worship and services
-
The worshipping community of the church has continued to grow with positive attendance at both the morning and evening services. On Sundays the church has seen average weekly attendance of 350 with 30% under 18.
-
A renewed focus on prayer led to the establishment of a permanent 24/7 prayer room and biannual prayer weeks and continues to play a role in shaping the ministries and activities of the church.
-
City-wide worship events such as ‘Gather Bristol’ (~500) and ‘Beer & Carols’ (~2500) gathered thousands of people with St Nicholas Bristol hosting those key events with support from churches across the diocese and denominations.
Family and community
-
There has been an increase in the attendance at Little Nicks, the weekly toddler group with the range of people attending spanning diverse faith and socio-economic backgrounds.
-
The Easter Extravaganza holiday club was attended by 74 children, 80% of whom were from families outside of the church.
-
The social media accounts are followed by around 3200 people, with content reaching over 100,000 people over the course of the year.

Social Action and Mission
-
Over the year St Nicholas shifted its social action strategy from supporting external organisations to direct engagement with those in need, fostering closer relationships through initiatives like the Banquet and mentoring partnerships.
-
The church continued to provide tons of food through Food Hub, and also gave out over 1000 bags of hope for Love Christmas.
-
While continuing to run evening Alpha, St Nicholas explored new evangelistic strategies including city wide invitational events. They saw an average of 50+ guests at our Alpha courses.
Site Development
- Following a quinquennial conducted at the end of 2023 the church appointed architects to draw up plans for the next phase of restoration and redevelopment. In 2025 RIBA stage 2 came to its conclusion, with a pre-application report being submitted to Bristol City Council.
FUTURE PLANS
The Trustees approved a new strategy for St Nicholas in September 2023, which continues to guide the activity of the organisation. Within this strategy the church will continue to focus on prioritising the social action response to the needs of the city; developing Christian maturity and increasing levels of commitment in the congregation through greater investment in our discipleship programme and teaching; investment in equipping and empowering the younger generations; and, further development and reorganisation of the church building. Underpinning all of this is a desire to dig deeper in cultivating a culture of prayer. St Nicholas also remains committed to church planting, most urgently into an area of deprivation in Bristol. The leadership of the church is in ongoing discussions with Bristol Diocese about the strategic direction for church planting in the diocese, which will influence the church planting activities of St Nicholas.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The charity conducts bi-annual reviews of its principal risks to which it is exposed, with systems established or revised to mitigate those risks. The charity's principal risks include fluctuations in donations, changing church attendance patterns, increasing operational costs. To mitigate these risks, we maintain prudent financial management, encourage diverse income streams and foster strong community engagement. Internal financial risks are managed by the implementation of financial procedures for the collection and recording of all donations and the authorisation and recording of all expenditure.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
In the year to the end of December 2025, the charity had total income of 653k (£553k in 2024) against expenditure of £639k (£650k in 2024). Unrestricted funds received totalled £578k (£481k in 2024) with a balance of £282k of unrestricted funds carried forward into 2026. There was a small deficit on unrestricted funds in the period of £4k (£33k deficit in 2024). Restricted funds received totalled £74k (£72k in 2024) with a balance of £25k on restricted funds carried forward into 2026.
Page 5
Bristol CCRC Trust, St Nicholas Church, St Nicholas Street, Bristol, BS1 1UE Company no. 11115823. Charity no. 1178905
In terms of voluntary giving from the congregation the total received in 2025 came to £488k compared to £486k in 2024.
The details behind these figures can be seen in the following financial statements.
RESERVES POLICY
It is the aim of the trustees that the free reserves (unrestricted and not represented by fixed assets) held by the charity should cover 3-6 months of unrestricted expenditure. This gives a target of £145k£290k. Within this level the trustees feel that they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. Should this happen, it would also be necessary to consider how the funding would be replaced or activities changed. The church currently has free reserves of £279k which is just under 6 months of unrestricted expenditure. The trustees keep reserves under constant review.
SAFEGUARDING
The Board of Trustees have adopted the Diocese of Bristol’s safeguarding policy relating to children, young people and vulnerable people. The safeguarding officer is Mrs Alex Parry. The Safeguarding Officer and all those supporting her in this role have completed the necessary diocese training courses in safeguarding young people and vulnerable adults.
The trustees are committed to the principles of best practice in relation to safeguarding and comply with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 in respect of having due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. The guidance can be read in full on the Church of England official website.
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare a statement of financial activities and statement of assets and liabilities for each financial year, which gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the church and of its financial activities for that year and adequately distinguishes any material special trust or other restricted fund of the church. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the appropriate SORP on Accounting by Charities and the Accounting Regulations and with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the church will continue to operate.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the church, and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable Accounting Standards and Statements of Recommended Practice and the regulations made under the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the church and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF Bristol CCRC Trust Ltd (St Nicholas Bristol and Concord Church) ('the Company')
Independent examiner’s report to the Trustees of Bristol CCRC Trust Ltd.
I report on the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet, related notes and are set out on pages 9 to 18.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). The charity is required by company law to prepare accrual based accounts.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under part 16 of the 2006 Companies Act and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the financial statements 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.
This report, including my statement, has been prepared for and only for the charity’s trustees as a body. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters that I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to any other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body for my examination work, for this report or for the statements that I have made.
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 with 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
I have completed by examination. I confirm that no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and section 130 of the 2011 Act ; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and Regulation 8 of the Accounts Regulations and the 2011 Act
-
have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The trustees consider that the Bristol CCRC Trust Ltd is a going concern and have accordingly prepared the accounts under the historical basis of accounting.
The trustees are confident that with the continued support of the congregation, and appropriate management of expenditure, the church is a going concern and will continue to be financially viable in the foreseeable future. Budgets and cash flow forecasts are in place for 2026 and levels of free reserves at the start of 2026 are around 5 months of unrestricted expenditure

Fixed assets
Additions and improvements to the newly acquired church premises are written off as incurred.
Only items costing £1,000 or above are capitalised. Fixed assets are depreciated on a straight line basis as follows:
