Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements
Church Leader summary of activities and achievements in FY24
This has been our sixth full year in operation after launching in September 2018. Our vision is to see the glory of God known in London and across the nations. We remain passionate about making disciples who pursue the presence of God, creating a community where anyone can explore questions of faith and who work together for the good of London and the nations.
Sunday Services
Our Sunday services are an important part of our community where we gather to worship, receive teaching from the bible, pray and respond. We have gathered in the Coin Street Neighbourhood Centre based in Waterloo since 5 January 2020. The venue is well suited for our community as it is easily accessible for people across Greater London, it provides improved facilities for our children’s work and plenty of space for our Sunday gatherings.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
We have grown slowly and steadily over the last year and now have approximately 120 adults who consider Trinity to be their church. Many of those who have joined us during the year are young professionals who live in zones 2 and 3. We remain committed to welcoming a broad range of age groups to Trinity.
Community Groups
At 31 August 2024, there are 5 community groups (2023:5) which have been running through the year. There have been some changes as people have moved on, moved within London and with new people joining the church. The groups meet midweek and focus on building community and making disciples. A typical gathering will involve worship, bible study and prayer. Our aim is to start a new community group in East London as soon as possible.
Outreach
During the year, we held street evangelism events where members of the church went flyering, offered prayer and spoke to people about faith and Christianity. We also held social gatherings where we invited individuals who were not part of the church.
Giving
The Trustees remain encouraged by the financial giving of our community. The church has remained steady with its giving. Between the two offerings we had this year, we received more than £25,000 in total. This total exceeded expectations and it was very encouraging to see the commitment of the church community in action. Further detail of our giving can be found in our financial review.
Communications
The church continues to refine branding that helps people navigate their way through our teaching and church life online, and facilitates clear communication of the Gospel.
Regions Beyond
Trinity church continues to play a part in Regions Beyond, a network of churches across the world. The leadership of Trinity church maintains strong links with the international leadership team of Regions Beyond.
Structure, Governance and Management
Responsibility for setting policy rests with the trustees who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity. Responsibility for the day to day operation of the charity has been delegated to a Leadership team led by Daniel Macleod. New trustees are recruited and appointed with the support of the Leadership team by the existing trustees, by a majority vote.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
Financial review
Incoming resources were £268,650 (2023 £241,145)
Resources expended were £225,103 (2023 £260,447)
At year end total funds were £99,217, of which £4,217 were for specific restricted purposes as shown in Note 12.
The categories used to present the church's expenditure in Note 6 of the financial statements summarises the activities undertaken by the church.
Funds in deficit
There are no funds in deficit as at 31 August 2024.
Reserves policy
The charity's position at year end was to hold £80,260 (2023 £38,813) in general funds, so achieving at least 2 months cover of fixed costs, including salary costs and meeting room space. The Reserves policy is to retain a minimum of 2 months of expenditure, so £30,000.
Going concern
Total income increased this year by £27,505 whereas expenditure decreased by £35,344 resulting in net income of £43,547 for the year. We have no funds in deficit and our cash in bank exceeds creditors due. Our general funds remain in excess of £75,000 which protect our reserves. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
Responsibilities of trustees under charity law
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material xxx departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume
xxx that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. 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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF
TRINITY CENTRAL LONDON ('the Charity')
I report to the charity trusteees on my examination af the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2024 on pages 7-16 following, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 9-10.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation 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 Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
Since the Charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
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 Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
1 Statutory Information
The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales. The charity's registered number and principal address can be found on the Charity Information page.
2 Accounting Policies
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: 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) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102") and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.
The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 (the '2008 Regulations') requires charities to prepare their accounts in accordance with 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005' but this accounting standard has since been withdrawn and has been replaced by the Charities SORP mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The charity has prepared these financial statements in accordance with the new Charities SORP; this departure from the 2008 Regulations is believed to be necessary for these financial statements to give a 'true and fair view'.
The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
-
a) Going concern
-
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and/or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. As at 31 August 2024, we have no funds in deficit and General funds in excess of £35,000 which protect our Reserves.
b) Income
Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.
Income from donations includes:
- i) Recoverable gift aid. This is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor.
Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects.
The charity has taken the view that it has only one charitable activity, namely the advancement of the Christian faith, and all income from donations, legacies and charitable activities is in respect of this one activity.
c) Expenditure
Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity.

TRINITY CENTRAL LONDON
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.
d) Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.
e) Intangible fixed assets
There are not considered to be any intangible fixed assets at this time.
f) Tangible fixed assets
Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £2,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life. To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged:
Equipment Over 3 to 7 years
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
g) Investments
The charity has no Investments at this time.
h) Operating lease
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the charity are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
i) Pension scheme arrangements
The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds.
j) Taxation
The charity has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.
k) Financial instruments
The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Except for loans, creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive). The charity recognises liabilities for the principal of those loans that remains outstanding at the year end (i.e. the liabilities exclude any interest chargeable on the loans in future years).
l) Exemption from preparing a cashflow statement
The charity has taken advantage of an exemption conferred by the Charities SORP and has not prepared a cash flow statement.
m) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
The trustees do not consider that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.

The reversal of the grant of £20,000 payable to Christ Church Birmingham in the prior year arose as the original constructive obligation in 2022 was not paid due to a change in arrangements for church planting in the city.
The fee payable to the independent examiner for examining the accounts was £2,400 (2023: £2,280).
