including program related
investment|Para 1.38|The Charity has not adopted a policy on

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|The Charity’s sole employee in 2025 was
the Children’s and Youth Minister, who
carried out his duties supporting the
ministry at Emmanuel Church Tolworth.
His primary responsibilities were providing
leadership and organisation of the Christian
ministry for children and young people at
the church, which is open to everyone.
This included leading the all-age slots in
the Sunday morning services; overseeing
and regularly leading the groups for
children and young people; and organising
Emmanuel Church’s support for its mission
partners. The employee resigned, finishing
employment at the end of March 2025, in
order to pursue a Christian ministry
opportunity at another church.
For the remainder of the year, the trustees
remained ready to deploy the resources of
the Charity to support the ministry of
Emmanuel Church as and when a clear
and suitable need became apparent, but
none were identified during that period.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
objectives set|Para 1.41|During the period, the Charity continued to
achieve its aim of helping to advance the
Christian faith through the employment of
the Children’s and Youth Minister, who
carried out his duties in support of the
ministry at Emmanuel Church Tolworth.| |---|---|---| |Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set|Para 1.41|The Charity’s primary objective for
fundraising was to try to maintain income to
be at least on a par with its expenditure,
other than for exceptional items.
Overall, the charity had a deficit for the
year because the charity’s expenses in the
first half of the year were greater than its
income, driven by employment of staff and
associated housing costs. In the second
half of the year, once expenditure on those| |||items had ended, income and expenses
closely matched one another.| |---|---|---| |Investment performance
against objectives|Para 1.41|The Charity did not set specific objectives
in regard to investment performance owing
to the relatively low levels of financial
reserves.| |Other||| ## **Financial Review** |Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|The accounts show that the Charity
received income in the period of £23,951,
versus expenses of £30,640, resulting in a
net deficit during the period of £6,689.
The main outgoings of the Charity were
personnel-related expenses for the
employee. Although payroll costs stopped
at the end of March, housing costs
associated with this employment continued
until June.
At the end of the period, the Charity held
cash funds of £60,921, composed of
£60,719 cash in bank accounts, and £202
in tax recovery.
The Charity is a leaseholder on a property
at Flat 1, 444 Ewell Road, Surbiton, KT6
7EL which is represented on the balance
sheet at its cost of £191,618. This flat is let
to tenants to gain rental income.| |---|---|---| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The Charity’s reserves policy directs
trustees to deploy its financial resources to
further the Charity’s objects and not to
hoard cash, whilst also seeking to set aside
funds when possible to safeguard the
Charity’s ability to further its objects in
harder financial times.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|At the end of the period, the charity had
£60,719 of cash in the bank.
All the available reserves were held in cash
because the trustees wanted to ensure the
Charity always had enough financial
liquidity to meet expected cash
requirements, plus an appropriate buffer,
as long as the Charity had commitments to
pay salaries and accommodation.| |Reasons for holding zero
reserves|Para 1.22|N/A| |Details of fund materially in
deficit|Para 1.24|N/A.| |Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern|Para 1.23|N/A| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |The charity’s principal
sources of funds (including
any fundraising)|Para 1.47|Approximately two-thirds of the Charity’s
income in the period came from rental of its
flat at 444 Ewell Road. Most of the
remainder came from regular giving. There
were no one-off gifts in the period.| |---|---|---| |||| |---|---|---| |Investment policy and
objectives including any
social investment policy
adopted|Para 1.46|The charity has a reserves policy but not an
investment policy because the amount of
investable assets (i.e. cash) has been
considered by the trustees to be too small
to consider investing beyond an instant-
access savings account given its outgoings
while employing staff.
The Charity holds a long-term lease on the
property at Flat 1, 444 Ewell Road in
Surbiton. This was originally purchased to
provide accommodation to employees of
the Charity for the better performance of
their duties. The property was too small to
accommodate the Charity’s employee and
his family, so the property is let to tenants
to provide a rental income to the Charity.
The trustees intend to continue to hold this
property to benefit from the rental income,
and to be in a position to provide
accommodation to potential future
employees.| |A description of the principal
risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|The Charity’s principal risk in 2025 was
liquidity risk given its relatively limited cash
reserves, and the material reduction in non-
rental income compared to prior years.| |Other||| ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |Description of charity’s
