The church was registered with the Charity Commission on 28th June 2018, with registered charity number 1178976. The church began operating as an independent charity on 1[st] September 2018, having started meeting as a congregation of Spicer Street Church (registered charity number 1173938) in 2014. ## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** Recommendations to appoint new Elders (who are also the Trustees) are brought to the church members' meeting by the existing Eldership. They are appointed at a church members’ meeting via a resolution that must be passed by a 75% majority of the quorum present at the meeting. ## **Induction and training of new trustees** New Elders are briefed as necessary on their obligations under charity law, the Constitution and the decisionmaking processes of the church. ## **Organisational structure** The Elders regularly review and discuss the affairs of the church. At church members' meetings, held regularly throughout the year, members review and make decisions concerning the affairs of the church in response to the leadership and work of the Elders and Treasurer. ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Objectives and aims** The trustees are aware of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and consider that the ministries and activities of the church in support of its objectives are consistent with that guidance. The primary objective of the church is the advancement of the Christian faith primarily but not exclusively in Hemel Hempstead and the surrounding area, by teaching the Bible and promoting prayer and fellowship among believers. It also seeks to support other activities that put the Christian faith into practice, including the advancement for public benefit of religious education and the care of those who are aged, poor, sick or disabled. ## **The church's ministries** During the year, the church had a pastor, Sam Buckley, and an assistant pastor, Dave Couch, who were primarily responsible for maintaining a regular ministry and pastoral care for the congregation. Many church members also volunteer their time to support the activities of the church. The church seeks to provide: 1. A programme of meetings and events which seeks to deepen the spiritual lives of the individual members and provide opportunities for non-members to hear the Christian gospel, including: - Sunday morning and evening meetings; - Sunday school; - Youth groups for secondary school age children; - A mid-week programme, including bible study, prayer and teaching, which normally meet in members' homes. - Various other teaching and outreach ministries in and around the local area, including Christianity Explored courses for those interested in the Christian faith. 2. Encouragement to its members to pray for the wider church and the needs of the world. 3. Regular support for a missionary family working in Zambia, a translation consultant with Wycliffe Bible Translators, and the local Christian debt centre. Page 2 **CHRIST CHURCH HEMEL** **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** 4. Support for a number of other organisations working in gospel ministry and care for the underprivileged in the UK and around the world. ## **Grantmaking** The church supports a number of individuals and organisations. Those who receive grants are regularly reminded that their support is regularly reviewed and may change according to circumstances and the availability of funds. ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** ## **Charitable activities** During the year ended 31 August 2024, the church has continued to focus on teaching the Bible and promoting prayer and fellowship, including through the teaching and outreach ministries outlined above. The Sunday morning meetings have continued to be streamed live for those who were unable to meet in person. Other groups continued to meet, including children’s and youth groups and regular midweek meetings. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Reserves policy** The trustees have a reserves policy (updated in January 2024) to maintain a minimum level of reserves that is equivalent to 3-4 months’ general expenditure, which is sufficient to allow the church to operate without being affected by the uneven nature of the cash flow through the year. At the year-end, the church had unrestricted general reserves of £59,824, including cash reserves of £56,033, which is equivalent to approximately 5 months’ general expenditure. ## **Principal funding sources** Regular funding of the ongoing ministry of the church is dependent on donations made by the church members and other donors, which for the year ended 31 August 2024 totalled £132,795. During the year, the church also received funding of £10,000 from another church towards the support of the church’s assistant pastor, as well as restricted gifts from members and others amounting to £10,576. ## **Housing** On 26 September 2023, the church completed the purchase of 21 Ridge Lea as a manse to house the pastor and his family. The church ended the tenancy on the previous rented property on 31 October 2023. Page 3 ## **CHRIST CHURCH HEMEL** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** ## **TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES** Charity law requires Trustees to prepare accounts which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its income and expenditure for the financial year. In doing so, the Trustees are required to: - a) select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; - b) - make judgements and estimates which are reasonable and prudent; - c) prepare the accounts on an ongoing concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation; - d) follow applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP, disclosing and explaining any departures in the financial statements The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Trustees are also required to be aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and to take it into account in their decision-making on behalf of the church.

I report in respect of my examination of the Church’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. 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 that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Church as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 3. the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached. ## A ## **John Caladine FCCA CTA FCIE** Caladine Limited Chantry House 22 Upperton Road Eastbourne East Sussex BN21 1BF Dated: 27/02/2025 Page 5 CHRIST CHURCH HEMEL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENOED 31 August 2024 STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITY Unrestricted General Fund Designated Restricted Total 2022-23 Total INCOME Notes General Giving Other Income and Grants Income Totsl 132.795 19.028 I51￿13 10.576 10.000 20.576 143,371 29,028 171,399 134,840 24,000 158,840 EXPENDITURE Staff Costs Ministry Housing Expendlture Totsl 58.691 51.863 24.033 134,587 14.225 6.351 72,916 58.571 29,287 160,774 64,639 48,413 29,568 142,620 357 5.254 5ffi11 20.576 Net IncomellExpendlturel 17236 15.6111 11.625 16,220 Transfers Between funds Net movement In funds 143.7901 126.5541 50.790 45.179 17,(K)01 17,1X)01 10.11.12 11,625 16,220 Rèconciliation of funds Total funds brought forward Totsl fund5 carrled forward 16 86.378 59J24 11,979 57.158 105,357 116,982 89,137 105,357 Pa8e 6 CHAisfcHUROI HEMEL AN￿SNE￿A$A1 31&W 2024 202>24 2022.23 Property & Equ1Wr￿t 14 679,674 1,310 8ank 8al•rKe5 &Cash 90.164 Accrued IrKome Prepayrnents 11,054 1351 11.220 4,936 12,405 16,156 1&5.320 LLLL Cred￿(￿5..
