2. REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES - For the Year Ended 31 March 2025

The Trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year to 31 March 2025. The report has been prepared in compliance with the guidance published in the Charities Commission of England and Wales (October 2019) Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) - FRS 102 published by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy.

2.1 Objects of the Charity

2.2 Registration of this Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)

The Charity - Kenilworth Community Church CIO, was registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales (Registered Charity No. 1183535) on 22 May 2019.

2.3 Government

Details of the government of the charity are set out in the Kenilworth Community Church Constitution, as certified to be the Constitution adopted by members of Kenilworth Community Church CIO.

In accordance with the Constitution, the following Trustees have served for the period of this report:

Jonathan William Emlyn Wright (Elder and Chair)

Keith Alexander Murphy (Elder)

James Rhys Murkett (Elder)

Adrian Martin Hodder (Elder)

Wayne Richard Harris (Elder) resigned on 4 June 2024 (and was inactive prior to this, having stepped back from duties in April)

Wayne is thanked for his diligent and enthusiastic service from the very early stages of the church.

It is appreciated that he remains within the church, serving in many areas as a Member.

Page 2 Report Period: 2024/2025

Ref. KCC-SP-06

2.4 Review of Activities

In planning and undertaking activities of Kenilworth Community Church CIO, the Trustees have had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission and to the Objects of the Charity.

2.4.1 Additional Roles

The following roles continued to help develop the work of the church and to support the Elders/Trustees:

Resigned from employment, effective 3 March 2025 (see also below)

Resigned from these roles, effective July 2024 Oversight of Youth Ministry now taken up by Adrian Hodder (see also below)

from September 2024

from September 2024

From July 2024

Resigned, effective June 2024; compliance duties taken up by Adrian Hodder (see also below)

The above are all volunteers, except where indicated.

2.4.2 Thanks To Our Volunteers and Staff

Chris and Mandy stepped down from their roles in July 2024, as part of the Youth Ministry reorganisation (which reflected a reduced number of children). They are thanked for their caring and enthusiastic ministry with the children, and it is appreciated that they are continuing with ministries reaching out to students and staff at Warwick university and also assisting with craft-type events and in other areas.

Clare stepped back from the compliance role, for personal/health reasons, and she is thanked for her contribution to safety and well-being within the church. It is also appreciated that she is continuing to minister within the church, particularly with youth.

Amber resigned from her (employed) position as Administrator (part time), effective towards the end of this reporting period to focus on other priorities - not least her wedding and new life! Her help and coordination ‘behind the scenes’ is much appreciated.

Thanks are also due to our continuing volunteers, which include more than those with designated roles as listed. Without the prayers and contributions from many, the church would not function effectively.

Ref. KCC-SP-06

2.4.3 Developing Ministries

a. Making Disciples as Disciples

The Small group/Homegroup ministry was further developed. A summer Book Group met to consider evangelism as assisted by the book: How to talk about Jesus (without being THAT guy) by Sam Chan. This was followed up by Small group/Homegroups looking at the materials from the course Hope Explored by Christianity Explored Ministries. In addition, the groups were encouraged by prayerful review and discussions of Bible passages as linked to Sunday sermons, including series on Luke, Exodus, Song of Songs and 2Timothy.

b. Worshipping God

Sunday services form a key part of how we meet together, welcome others to join and reach out to folks in the community to come along and find out about Christ and His saving gospel message. While the majority of the Sunday services included a major contribution from our Full-Time Elder, Adrian Hodder, who ably provided most of the preaching, this was supported by the other Elders and occasional visiting preachers.

c. Growing as a Family

The continued challenges of supporting and encouraging youth in the church remains under frequent review. Regular ‘Family services’ have been developed to include all ages and are generally held monthly. The Youth Ministry team has continued with their hard work, including preparation ready for any visiting/incoming children/youth and in the following areas:

Adult ministries included support being provided in the following areas:

d. Telling the Gospel

An intention was set: to equip us as Jesus’ ambassadors, so as to support world mission and utilise opportunities for evangelism (including annual local events). During the reporting period, this has included:

Page 4 Report Period: 2024/2025

Ref. KCC-SP-06

e. Doing Good

It is recognised that loving folk in Kenilworth in practical ways goes alongside Telling the Gospel and the other core activities of the church and is also a key element of the objects of the Charity. During this period, this has included the following (in addition to the practical elements of the pastoral ministry outlined in Section c above):

Note:

The financial giving undertaken (and planned) to organisations are all to charities registered in England with the Charities Commission and this giving is fully compliant with the objects of Kenilworth Community Church CIO (as set out in Section 2.1 of this report). Likewise, financial gifts to individuals have been undertaken with agreement of the Trustees, carefully recorded, and this giving is fully compliant with the objects of Kenilworth Community Church CIO. No gifts have been made to organisations or individuals outside of the UK.

2.4.4 Membership

Church membership (as defined in the Kenilworth Community Church Members’ Handbook ) totalled 32 on 31 March 2025.

2.4.5 Church Leadership

The Elders serving for the period of this report are synonymous with the Trustees as listed in this report. Their role is the overall leadership of the church. They are especially responsible for the ordering of gatherings for worship on the Lord’s Day and other occasions for prayer, fellowship and ministry. They also have the responsibility to ensure proper church discipline according to the Biblical pattern.

During the report period, Adrian Hodder, both a Trustee and Elder, was in full-time employment.

During this period, Amber Ball was in part-time employment as Administrator, to provide support to the Elders and church.

Kenilworth Community Church CIO had no other employees during this reporting period.

Page 5 Report Period: 2024/2025

Ref. KCC-SP-06

2.4.6 Property/Accommodation

During the report period, the Kenilworth Community Church CIO has not had ownership of any property. Larger meetings have been held at URC Abbey Hill, Kenilworth, using both the church building and associated halls. Where appropriate, other meetings have been held in member’s homes. These accommodation arrangements are suitable for current needs, together with likely requirements for the coming year. There are no current plans to acquire property.

2.5 Future Plans and Objectives

2.5.1 Review and Planning

The growth and development of the Kenilworth Community Church CIO and its activities are kept constantly under review by the Elders, and also by those leaders with responsibilities for the homegroups, worship, youth etc. Regular meetings are held to monitor activities and confirm continued compliance with the objectives and policies of the church. Wider meetings, open to all church Members and others are held at least quarterly to review progress and assist with forward planning.

2.5.2 Ministry

The Full-time Elder worked hard during the report period, to meet the demands of a growing membership and congregation, and also to develop systems for the new church CIO and undertake much of the necessary administration and coordination.

Support was provided by the part-time Administrator, Amber Ball together with Treasurer and Deacon, John Whittle.

As outlined in Section 2.4.2, a Mission Policy is in place and operational This promotes and provides a framework for giving and supporting organisations (and possibly individuals) which undertake works that are fully compatible with the Objectives of Kenilworth Community Church CIO, as set out in this report. Further progress is planned to increase the giving from this fund to appropriate organisations.

A Practical Care Support Fund is in place and operational. This provides financial help alongside spiritual and practical caring, as provided by church members, in conjunction with oversight by the Trustees/Elders.

2.6 Financial Review

2.6.1 Overview

This report covers the 12 months to 31 March 2025 and is the sixth period of operation for Kenilworth Community Church CIO. The financial situation has remained sound during this period, with income above expenditure and more than adequate reserves. In compliance with the church’s Financial Controls Policy and Procedures , the usual annual Budget was drafted, reviewed and accepted by the Trustees. A statement of financial activities is set out in Section 3.1.

2.6.2 Income

As recorded in Section 3.5 Analysis of Income and Expenditure, the regular giving together with gift aid and specific gifts provided an income slightly above expenditure for unrestricted funds (a surplus income of £5,590 is reported). This was well within the Budget set for the period, which permitted a small deficit.

Page 6 Report Period: 2024/2025

Ref. KCC-SP-06

It is noted that within the reporting period, giving into restricted funds was exceeded by expenditure. However, this remained within the planned budget, and reflected the giving into the Practical Care Fund taking place in the previous year (2023/2024) with the associated gifts out of this fund being made in the current reporting period. The balance of this fund remains in surplus at £5,224 at the end of this reporting period.

Regular giving has been consistent and has matched budget estimates. It is thanks to the Lord’s provision that there was no fall in income for the church during this period.

Income is provided predominantly by regular (standing order) gifts, and regular communication is maintained with givers to monitor giving to Kenilworth Community Church. There are no material investments during this reporting period.

2.6.3 Expenditure

Expenditure for the period was within the expected budget predictions and also slightly below income levels, as outlined above. Expenditure has been carefully monitored by the Treasurer and has related to items necessary for the charity to fulfil its objectives, as set out in Section 2.1.

Expenditure has also been close to budget for most items. Specific gifts have been provided for the Practical Care Support Fund (see below) which, to date, have reduced the need of support from the General Fund allocation.

2.6.4 Reserves Policy

It is noted that unrestricted funds/reserves have increased from the previous financial year, to £75,017. A Reserve of £30,000 (4 months of normal operational costs) is in place, in compliance with the church’s Financial Reserves Policy.

2.6.5 Restricted Funds and Endowment Funds

Restricted Funds were in operation for the following (as detailed in Section 2.4.3):

There are no Endowment Funds.

2.6.6 Funds Held on Behalf of Others

There are no funds held as custodian trustee or on behalf of other organisations.

2.6.7 Fundraising

The raising of funds is primarily by notification to Members of Kenilworth Community Church (KCC) at Members’ meetings. Other donations for KCC are welcomed but are not expressly sought. From time to time, the work of other charitable organisations is highlighted and donations are invited from within a public meeting or KCC Members’ meeting. There is no soliciting of individuals at any time, no distribution of flyers, and donations are never requested from vulnerable persons or under 18s. Professional fundraisers are not used.

Page 7 Report Period: 2024/2025

Ref. KCC-SP-06

2.7 Risk Statement

As a Christian Church, the Officers try to be faithful in committing all developments, decisions and issues of Church life to the guidance and providence of God. Nonetheless, particular attention has been given to developing clear policies to ensure compliance in Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults, Food Hygiene, and the implications of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and associated Equality Act 2010.

Preparation of budgets has been followed by careful monitoring through regular (monthly) review by the Treasurer/Deacon and regular reporting to the Trustees/Elders to ensure sufficient resources in the event of adverse financial conditions. A Reserves Policy is in place (as outlined in Section 2.6.4) and identifies the financial needs of the Trust in the event of a financial crisis and this is kept under annual review to ensure that it matches the changing needs of the Church.

It is acknowledged that a general climate of financial instability is applicable. In case of a significant reduction in giving/income, the associated risks are mitigated by regular and frequent monitoring of the church’s finances.

2.8 Going Concern Considerations

In the context of the above, and also with reference to the reserves policy and financial review, it is noted that the church funds are in credit and that trends of income and expenditure are remaining in balance. On this basis, it is considered that the church and its charitable functions are able to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future (ie. at least the next 12 months) in accordance with the guidance published in the Charities Commission for England and Wales (October 2019) Charities SORP - FRS 102.

2.9 Trustees' Responsibilities

Charity law requires us as Trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which give a true and fair view of the state of the charity and of its income and expenditure for the year.

As Trustees, we are required to:

  1. Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.

  2. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.

  3. State whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts.

  4. Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

We are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and follow the principles in the new edition of the Charity Governance Code’.

We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities.

APPENDIX I

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER OF THE ACCOUNTS

Independent Examiner’s report to the trustees/members of Kenilworth Community Church

Registered charity number: 1183535

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] March 2025 which are set out in the pages above:

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility

Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement

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 the 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

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect:

I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
