**CHRIST CHURCH HUNTINGDON REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**
## **Objectives and Activities**
The principal object of the CIO is the advancement of the evangelical Christian faith, by making and growing disciples, mainly, but not exclusively, by means of broadcasting messages of an evangelistic and teaching nature, in accordance with the Basis of Faith.
In furtherance of the above purpose, but not otherwise, the CIO may carry out charitable works as shall, in the opinion of the charity trustees, put into practice the Christian faith in accordance with the Basis of Faith, which may include but be not limited to: the prevention and relief of need, hardship and sickness; the advancement of education; and the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life.
Provided always that the advancement of the Objects must be undertaken in a manner that is consistent with the Doctrinal Distinctives and Ethical Statements as may be adopted and amended by the CIO from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this constitution.
The vision of the charity is to see the wonderful good news of Jesus’ rescue, which transforms, unites and equips a community, prayerfully shared with all in the Huntingdon area. In planning the activities, the Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The Charity, which is a church, is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and is governed by a founding document. The policy and operating decisions of the Charity rest with the Trustees who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the Charity. The Charity operated, until 29 February 2024, as part of the Church of England, with permission to operate a church in Huntingdon under a Bishop’s Mission Order. On 29 February 2024 the Bishop’s Mission Order expired and the charity left the Church of England, and joined the Anglican Mission in England (AMiE).
In accordance with the Constitution, trustees may be appointed by the existing trustees. In addition, up to four trustees may be appointed by the congregation at the Annual Church meeting.
## **Achievements and Performance**
## People
• In a divided world, we rejoice in how God has knitted us together into a family of brothers and sisters from so many nations (at least 14) and ages (0-80+) who delight in his grace, submit to his Scriptures and love his Son.
• We give thanks for each person who attends CCH including many newcomers over the last year.
• We praise God for the privilege of witnessing his work among the many young children and teenagers of our church.
• We rejoiced in the arrival of two babies and a service of thanksgiving.
## Oversight
• We give thanks for AMiE, including the support in the form of fellowship, support and oversight.
• We give thanks that Rev Tim Davies was appointed as the Diocesan Bishop during the year with Rev Lee McMunn continuing as assistant bishop.
• The church council covered various financial, safeguarding and strategy business over the last year including some changes to our constitution regarding trustee benefits and terms. We also voted to start the process towards recruiting an assistant minster and an administrator to join the staff team.
## Sundays
• We are grateful for those who serve on Sundays in so many ways: seen and unseen, formal and informal.
• We had a 3 part sermon series, lifegroup sessions and Q&A on complementarianism and women in ministry.

## **Safeguarding**
Since February 2024, Christ Church Huntingdon has used Christian Safeguarding Services (CSS) as its safeguarding adviser and training provider.
Susan Brown (trustee) is the Designated Safeguarding Lead, with two deputies in place, who have all completed DSL training. Safe recruitment training has also taken place.
A new safeguarding policy has been reviewed by the Trustees and implemented in April 2025.
A safeguarding training day by CSS for staff and volunteers took place in February 2025.
No serious incidents have been reported in 2025.
## **Financial Review**
Total income for the year was £185,689 (2024: £168,332). Total expenditure for the year amounted to £174,848 (2024: £172,355). There was therefore a surplus for the year of £10,841 (2023: deficit of £4,023). Giving increased by £18,598, being a 11.7% increase.
3
## **CHRIST CHURCH HUNTINGDON REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**
Due to giving from the members, the Trustees have continued to designate 15% of donated funds to be made available for grants for various projects that are aligned with the charitable objectives of the Charity, with a focus on local projects, national Christian ministry, and international missionary work. Therefore, a further £26,718 (2024: £23,928) was transferred to the designated Mission Grants Fund in 2025.
## **Expenses to the Trustees**
Five Trustees (2024: three) incurred expenses and were reimbursed during the period, all relating to the dayto-day charitable activities of the Charity. These expenses totalled £4,202 (2024: £3,564) incurred during their tenures as Trustees and relating to costs of the activities of the church. Following the departure from the Church of England, payments were made to and for the stipend of the minister of the church. Permission to make these payments was granted by the Charity Commission.
## **Reserves Policy**
The Trustees have established a policy that a sensible level of free reserves should be maintained to ensure the Charity can continue to operate if income is below budget or if unplanned contingencies are required.
The Trustees decided that an amount equivalent to four months’ expenditure should be kept for this purpose.
In December 2025, the average monthly expenditure was estimated to be £16,350 meaning that the Trustees set £65,400 as the minimum level of reserves required.
At the year end, unrestricted funds amounted to £84,560 and the Expendable Endowment amounted to £80,196. Since all these funds may be used for any charitable purpose, the total amount of free reserves of the Charity amounted to £164,756.
## **Investment Policy**
Since the reserves of the Charity are currently in excess of the minimum required by the Charity’s reserves policy, the Trustees have sought to invest some of the reserves in accordance with the Charity’s objects. It is expected that the extra reserves will be used in the near future, so the Trustees was decided that the Charity should ensure the reserves are accessible within 3 months, and should carry little risk, so as to minimise possible losses that would hinder the outreach work of the Charity hopes to do.
The Trustees also decided that they would pursue opportunities that saw the Charity’s reserves used for Christian purposes, in line with the Charity’s objects, so the Charity has chosen to invest in savings accounts with Kingdom Bank.
## **Trustees' Responsibilities**
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for that period.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the
4
## **CHRIST CHURCH HUNTINGDON REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**
provisions of the Trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements.

- and with the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.
