Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the
charity, identifying the
difference the charity’s
work has made to the
circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any
wider benefits to society as
a whole.		 Para 1.20 CFM London have consistently provided a
welcoming place of worship for members of the
public. Our places of worship remain open to all,
regardless of gender, culture, or social status, and
are free of charge.
We have experienced an increasing number of
individuals seeking spiritual, emotional, and social
support. We have successfully accommodated
these needs while expanding our outreach efforts.
Our street evangelism and homeless and
community outreach, which took place every two
months, are now conducted on a monthly basis.
We regularly extend a helping hand to those in need
by offering guidance on available support services,
providing food, and sharing information about food
banks and advice and information on homeless
shelters. Over the years, we have witnessed a
growing number of individuals, including those
without a regular place of worship seeking comfort,
those seeking a welcoming and supporting
community, and a sense of belonging within our
congregation.
Additionally, we continue to support families facing
challenges, assist individuals with health concerns,
and provide guidance to young people struggling
with mental health issues, addiction, and isolation
through prayer, counseling, and Biblical teaching,
mentorship and encouragement.

Achievements against
objectives set		 Para 1.41 As a family-centered church, we take great
pride in achieving many of our objectives
through strong partnerships. We have
witnessed an overwhelmingly positive
response to the Gospel, with many individuals
embracing discipleship in Christ Jesus.
However, while we continue to provide
essential support through food banks,
community services, and clothing donations, we
are not yet in a financial position to offer shelter
for the homeless. Additionally, due to regulatory
requirements, policy constraints, and limited
expertise, we are unable to provide direct
counseling services for minors.
To ensure the safety and well-being of those we
serve, all key personnel are required to undergo
DBS disclosure. We have been able to maintain
a good record of our volunteers and church
members records including training such as
health and safety, Child protection and
safeguarding.
Furthermore, we actively support individuals by
providing referrals and recommending
specialist organizations that offer professional
assistance, as these organizations receive
regular training and maintain the necessary
expertise.
Performance of
fundraising activities
against objectives set		 Para 1.41 The charity did not perform any fund-raising
activities and do not have any performances
record. All funds and income activities are
detailed in the section Para 1.47.
Investment performance
against objectives		 Para 1.41 The charity did not perform any investments in
either in property, land or business. Although
we hope to invest if the right opportunity
present itself. However, the charity continues to
support other existing charities either through
funding or personnel.

closing balance of £34,651.65, demonstrating

Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 CFM's primary operations focus on providing a place
of worship, counseling services, and meeting spaces
for hosting Christian events and other religious
gatherings. In alignment with this mission, CFM has
established a policy to ensure the availability of
reserved funds for securing a new meeting space for
worship when urgently needed.
Additionally, the charity maintains designated funds
specifically allocated for special ministry purposes,
such as building projects, mission retreat and food
bank initiatives. These funds are carefully managed to
support the long-term sustainability of our services
and to meet the needs of the community effectively.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 CFM, as a charity, has agreed to maintain a reserve
fund of £13,000 Annually to cover essential
operational expenses, including meeting hall
rentals, monthly contractual obligations, and
maintenance costs. In the event of contract
termination, this reserve will ensure financial
preparedness by covering the necessary deposit
and first month's rent for securing a new meeting
hall, allowing for the continued smooth operation of
our worship and community services.

The charity’s principal
sources of funds
(including any
fundraising)		 Para 1.47 CFM’s primary source of funding comes from
contributions, Gift aids and church donations made by
its members and trustees, commonly referred to as
tithes and offerings.
Occasionally, we may request additional support from
our members when hosting special events or to meet
specific ministry needs, ensuring the continued success
of our charitable and religious initiatives.

objectives including any

objectives. None of CFM’s income or property may be
distributed to its members in the form of dividends,
bonuses, or any other form of profit.
However, trustees may be reimbursed from CFM’s funds
for reasonable expenses properly incurred while acting
on behalf of the charity, ensuring transparency and
accountability in financial management.
The charity (church) continues to ensure it meets its
operation effectively through self-employment of the
contractor who may serve as ministers.
A description of the
principal risks facing the
charity		 Para 1.46 Due to work, family and education commitments, the
charity struggles to maintain members consistency. This
resulted in the reduced attendance our members and
therefore we were unable to fully run our public services.
Therefore, since majority of our funds are received
during worship and meetings times, absent members do
not contribute physically and financially.
