Annual Report for 2025-2026
The trustees present their Annu31 Report for 2025- 2026
Strurture, Governance and Management
The Charity is governed by a constitution approved by its members. Members of the Church are
accepted in accordance with the conskn"tution which requires them to be or t¢> have been publicly
baptised on the profession of faith in Jesus Christ or following other modes of baptism to renew their
public profession of faith in Jesus Christ.

The memberg Meeting normally takes place IMI times per year and has responsibility for the overall
policy of the church. In accordance with the Constitution, the members appoint four Trustees. who
together with the Mlnister, Church Setretary and Treasurer (who are also appointed by the
Member51. are responsible for the day to day running of the church's work and witness, and the
financial and legal aspects of the charity- ￿1 member5 are encouraged to take an appropriate part in
the spiritual and prachcal tasks invofved in the furtherance of the charitable objective.
Relevant matter5 may be submitted to the Church meeting by the Trustee5 for guid?nce or may be
raised by members in Church meeting for further consideration by the Trustees. Though the
ConstitutiorTr permit5 decision5 to be made at Church meeting5 by appropriate majoritie5, the
Church seek5 to work by consensus wherever possible.
Objective5 and ktrvitles
THE ADVANCEMENT OFTHE CHRisfiAN FAtTH FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
STATEMENT OF FAITH sEfouT IN APPENDIX I OF THIS CONSTITUTION THROUGH THE HOLDING OF
PRAYER MEETING5, LECTURE5 AND PUBLIC CELEBRATION OF RELIGIOUS FESTIVALS AND CHARITABLE
SUPPORT FOR THE NEEDY.
To achieve the principal objective. which is set out above, the Church provides a varlety of activitre5
both to its membership and to the community generally. The aim is to show the love of le5U5 Christ
in both word and deed and to bring people into a closer relationship with Him as living Lord.
Central to the work and witnes5 of the Church is the provision of regular public Services of Christian
worship. These Services take place each Sunday. There are also occasional services at other times
which are advertised on the church notice board and the website
at www.cam
sbourneba tistchurch.or
.uk. The church seeks to be a friendly and welcoming
community, and anybody is free to attend any of these se¥vices.
The Church runs a weekly prayer group at the Church and a weekly Bible study on ZOOM with the
Pastor and congregation of West Green Baptist Church. Further details of these can be obtained from
the Trustee5 on request, or at the Sunday services of worship.
The Church operates SYStem5 to ensure that all people working with children and vulnerable adults
are appropriately vetted by the Disclosure and Barring Service.
The church has read the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit ond is satisfied that the
activities outlined above clearly demonstrate thot the charity 15 providing a benefit to the public.
Achievements and Perforniance
The Church doe5 not measure the success of wts progrdmmes only in numbers, including financial
numbers, but also in less tangible areas like fellowship and encouragement. The Trustees recognise
that these are difficult to measure but believe that 2025126 was a positive year in the life of the
Church, and that it will be able to pursue it5 mi55ion purposes in fof the next year with renewed
enthusiasm. Our outreach includes a weekly Craft Club at the local Sheltered Housing Unit which
includes a Christmas and Easter service. A weekly English class remains popular. We value the close
links we have with Hornsey Churches of other denominations, together we have been able to
provide several Play Da￿ for local primary age school children. At Christmas. Easter. Pentecost and
Harvest Thanksbriving we have shared meals and fellowship. We have witnessed publicly by leaving
our Church buildings and celebratin8 outside the local supermarket and parks.

Flnancial Review
The Church continues to raise the funds whlch it need5 to carry on its acbvities from within it5 own
membership and congregatr"on, and by ￿fits1 income from users of the buildings. No wider public
appeal was made for funds during the year. Income in 2025126 decreased by 9% to £112,735 from
£120,485 in the p￿viouS year. This 15 mainly due to the decrease in rentsl incotne
The most significart expense related to the church'5 activities including the Sunday Services, to
provide pastor31 care for the congregation and other people, and to equip and encourage the
membership in their life, Chrisiian witness and Se￿ICe.
The Church is heavily dependent on it5 membership working as volunteer5 in all asperts of the
church'5 activities, Tnany of whsch run with little or no impact on the church's expenditure
but nevertheless contribute Substantially to the achievement of the church's objectives.
Total expenditure decreased by 9% from £117,384 to £104,875 mainly due to the decrease in
building costs. This 518nificantly contributed to the chLErch'5 net fund balance for the year which
increased by about 3% compared to 202412025.
The financial results for the year. together with a summary of the accounting policies adopted are set
out in the accompanying financial statements.
Reserves Polkcy
The Trustees have establishèd a Reserves Policy to enable the church to fvnction effectively and meet
its obli6ations in the event of a decline in our income or a major cost.
Having conside￿￿ the relevant risks of changes in income and expenditure. the Trustees
have determined that the appropriate level of reserves is in the range £30,OIJ) to £50.000. As at 31
March 2026. the churth held total ￿serveS of £231.173 of which £12,469 were restrirted. Reserves
that were neither restricted nor designated amounted to £218,703.

The Spoor Memorial Fund
£14.901
The Spoor Memorial Fund (Registered Charty number 207947) was established by a deed
dated 19 April 1926 in memory of Mrs Elizabeth Spoor for the relief of poor widows or
elderly people who are regular attendanta at Campsbourne. If. in the opinion of the
trustees, who themselves are all associated with the Church, there are no such persons in
need of assistance, they may distribute the income of the fijnd to whomever they
choose. The fund is a pemianent endowment invested in £14.654.95 4.25 % Treasury
Stock 0711212027. The stock is held by The London Baptist Property Board Limited. as
custodian trustee. The market value was taken as at 21 April 2026
S. Baptist Union Pension deficlt
The Baptist Union announced that they have signed an agreement with the insurance
company Just Group I'Jusf) to secure DB Plan members, pension benefit5. This
agreement is referred to as a 'buy-in policy,. 11 follows a similar agreement with Just in 2019
that covered most pensions in payment at that time. The combined agreements mean that
Just are now providing financial backing for all DB pensions provided through the Scheme's
DB Plan.The costs of such policies are largely drtven by financial markets and these have
moved substantially in the Scheme's favour. particularly over the course of the last few
months. As a result. this transaction takes the Scheme out of a shortfall position for Ihe first
time in decades. Although risks remain. the Baptisl Union and the Trustee have agreed
that deficit recovery contributions from each participating employer in the DB Plan will
reduce to just £1 per month from August 2022.
6. The Church buildings in The Campsboume comprise the buildings at 1-3 The
Campsbourne, including Flats 1 and 3 on the top floor, and the adjoining Church Hall. They
and the Manse are shown at their most recent independent valuation for insurance
purposes. The trustees have used insurance values as the trustees are unable to reliably
estimate current values,. insurance values may differ materially from cuirent values.

I report on the accounts of CAMPSBOURNE BAPTISTCHURCH for the year ended 31 March
2026 which are set out on pages 1 to 4.
Basis of examiner's ststement
My examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the church and a
comparison of the accounts prepared with those records The documents examined
include Invol￿S, payment vouchers, direct transactions through bank account and finance
related notes and correSponden￿s. 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 ststement
The trustees have prepared re￿Ipts and payments accounts and all the transactions
included in the accounts have gone through and are reconciled to the church bank
accounts.
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which
gives me cause to believe that in any material respect=
the accounting records were not kept: or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form
and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports)
Regulations 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 come across no other matters in connection with the exatnination to which
attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.
