The trustees present their annual report, together with the unaudited financial statements of the charity, for the year ended 31st March 2025.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The charity Trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity. The Trustees give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits. The Trustees meet together at least three times a year and are responsible for all major decisions taken in relation to running the church and the activities provided by the charity. The day-today management of the church and activities are delegated to Senior Pastors Roy and Lydia Todd.

Roy and Lydia are supported by a team they lead and are developing. As the church has grown, some of these leaders have oversight in a paid capacity. Roy and Lydia have numerous mechanisms of oversight and accountability.

New Trustees

New trustees are appointed by existing trustees when appropriate. Suitable candidates are considered on the basis of their skills, experience and understanding of the aims of the church. New Trustees have the opportunity of reviewing appropriate documents including the accounts as part of their induction process.

• To advance the Christian Faith and the worship of God in any part of the world, including the teaching and training of Christian people and the printing and distribution of the Bible and Christian literature using any form of media.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The Trustees are pleased to present this report for the year ended 31 March 2025. This has been a year of major development for The Junction Church, marked by substantial progress, continued growth across our ministries and strengthening engagement with the local communities we serve. Throughout the year, the Trustees have remained committed to ensuring that all activities align with our charitable objectives and that governance, safeguarding and accountability remain central to our work.

Building Acquisition and Development

A defining moment this year was the acquisition of the former Beacon Bingo building on Baxter Gate in Loughborough, completed in April 2024 for £1.25 million. The building had been vacant for more than three years after the Bingo Club closed in 2021. Following constructive discussions with the owners, and after they reviewed our charitable work, they agreed to sell the property to us at a favourable price. The Trustees view this acquisition as a significant opportunity for long term community benefit.

The building includes a large auditorium originally designed to seat 1,700 people, along with a number of ancillary rooms. One of these, previously used as a bar area, has been repurposed as the Chapel Suite and is now used for smaller gatherings, funerals and community events. Structural surveys confirmed the solidity of the building, although essential works were required before full use.

During the year we undertook key improvements. The roof, which had suffered from long term leaks, was fully replaced. Historic asbestos was professionally removed, ensuring the building’s safety and compliance. Planning consent for F1 use was secured after detailed work, enabling us to move forward with long term plans. These developments reflect responsible stewardship of a major charitable asset.

Ministry and Community Activity

Despite the extent of the building project, our charitable activities have continued to flourish.

Achievements and performance (continued)

Youth Work (TRG)

Our youth ministry, This Rising Generation, continues to grow through weekly programmes, partnerships with local schools and committed volunteers. All activity operates within our safeguarding framework, ensuring that young people are supported in a safe and structured environment.

Children’s Ministry

Our children’s work has expanded as more families engage with the charity. A DBS checked and trained team deliver age appropriate programmes each week. Safeguarding policies remain robust, regularly reviewed and publicly available. Parents consistently express appreciation for the quality and safety of this provision.

Soup Kitchen

The Soup Kitchen continues to serve individuals facing vulnerability, isolation or financial pressure. Guests receive a free hot meal and a welcoming environment each Thursday evening. Volunteers provide conversation, community and, when needed, signposting to relevant services. This remains a highly valued expression of our charitable aims.

Seasonal and Community Events

The Light Party once again provided a positive environment for children and families in October. Our Christmas services in December 2024 were the busiest to date, offering hospitality and a sense of connection to many first time visitors.

Student Ministry

Students continue to form a significant part of our community. Regular meals, friendships and pastoral support are provided in an encouraging environment. While we do not offer professional advice, the consistency of community life has proven beneficial for student wellbeing.

6

Achievements and performance (continued)

Leicester

Our Leicester congregation meets on Sunday afternoons and continues to grow, particularly among students and young adults. Weekly life groups provide smaller settings where people can snack, chat and pray, offering meaningful support and connection. These activities further the charity’s aims and contribute positively to local wellbeing.

Nottingham

Our Nottingham community has developed strongly over the past year. We host a Thursday evening service once a month which provides a gathering space for students and young adults. The midweek life groups offer supportive environments for discussion and connection. These groups continue to be valued and play an important role in advancing our charitable objectives.

Lutterworth Building

During this year, the charity continued to steward the Lutterworth building received through a previous merger. After careful consideration, the Trustees leased this facility to another established church group. It was important to ensure that the building continued to be used for charitable purposes, and the group now using the facility operates in a way that aligns with our charitable objectives. Regular communication and positive cooperation have ensured that the building remains well used and continues to serve its intended community purpose.

Wider Engagement

Across all locations we continue to provide pastoral support, family gatherings, creative arts programmes and midweek activities. Partnerships with local schools and community organisations have strengthened, enabling us to offer support and encouragement to a wide range of people. Volunteers remain central to the charity’s work, and the Trustees are deeply grateful for their generosity and dedication.

7

Achievements and performance (continued)

Governance and Safeguarding

The Trustees continue to prioritise clear governance, financial responsibility and accountability. Oversight is maintained across all departments, and safeguarding remains a central consideration in all activities, not only with children but with any individual who may be considered vulnerable. Policies and procedures are reviewed regularly to ensure compliance with current standards.

Conclusion

This has been a year of major progress, marked by significant developments in our facilities, continued growth in attendance and activity, and deeper community engagement across the region. The Trustees remain committed to serving with excellence, stewarding resources responsibly and maintaining alignment with our charitable objectives. As we look ahead, we are confident that the charity is well positioned for continued positive impact in the years to come.

VOLUNTEERS

Across all our churches there are more than 200 volunteers involved in serving and leading. We could not operate and do everything we do without the generosity and dedication of those who diligently serve each year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The trustees, after appropriate review, have a reasonable expectation that the church has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Income received by the charity for the period ending 31[st] March 2025 totalled £633,742 (2024: £979,774). This included restricted income totalling £173,306 (2024: £315,688). Expenditure for the period amounted to £574,414 (2024: £436,502), resulting in a surplus of £59,328 (2024 was a surplus of £543,272).

GOING CONCERN

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

8

RESERVES POLICY

The reserves policy set by the Trustees is to carry net unrestricted income equal to a minimum of 6 months’ committed expenditure. Committed expenditure includes Sunday venue costs, all salary costs plus any direct debits. The balance of reserves at 31st March 2025 was £1,235,392, made up of £172,812 restricted funds and £1,062,580 of unrestricted funds and the Trustees are happy that this amount is well above the policy set. Current free reserves (unrestricted funds less tangible fixed assets and investments) are £214,362.

RISK MANAGEMENT

All major insurable risks are subject to normal Churches and employer's insurance. Annual reviews of risk, such as health and safety are undertaken by the Trustees in conjunction with employees and volunteers. The trustees are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

The Trustees have implemented appropriate policies to manage the internal finances of the charity. The systems of internal control are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss. They include:

• a) an annual Budget considered by the Trustees; and

• b) regular consideration by the Trustees of financial reports; and

• c) delegation of authority and segregation of duties; and

• d) Identification and management of risks.

The trustees aim to review on a regular basis the adequacy of the system and the main risks that the Church may find arising. The trustees believe that maintaining the free reserves, combined with appropriate reviews of the controls over key financial systems, provides sufficient resources in the event of unexpected adverse conditions.

STAFF REMUNERATION POLICY

The Trustee Board carries salary reviews out each year. However, a review does not guarantee a pay rise and there is no contractual right to an annual pay rise. Staff will be informed of the result of the review in writing.

9

TRUSTEES’ APPROVAL OF THE ANNUAL REPORT

The annual report was approved by the trustees on 28[th] January 2026.

SUMMARY

The Trustees consider that they have complied with the Charities Act 2011 and that the church and its membership are meeting the charitable objectives that were determined when the church was formed. As it grows, it is expected that the church’s community will have further opportunities to increase its activity and influence.

The Junction Church

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025

1 Accounting policies

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards in the United Kingdom (FRS 102), the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and with the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and the accounting policies have been applied consistently, other than where new policies have been adopted.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (accounts and Reports) Regulation 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair’ view. The departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16th July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1st April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The Junction Church meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

(a) Fund Accounting

Unrestriced funds These are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objects of the charity.

Designated funds These are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds These are available for use subject to restrictions imposed by the donor or through terms of an appeal.

(b) Income

Income is composed principally of donations by Church members and gift aid reclaimed on donations where eligible. The nature of the Church’s regular income means that income is brought into account only when the income is received. Gift aid reclaimed is recognised in the financial period to which it relates.

Income from any other activities is recognised when earned.

Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis and arises from interest bearing deposit accounts.

(c) Voluntary Help and Gifts in kind

The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these accounts as they cannot be reliably measured.

Donated goods and services, where significant, are included in income at an estimate of their value to the charity. An expense is recognised as those goods, facilities and services are consumed or distributed to beneficiaries.

(d) Expenditure

Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Charitable activities is accounted for on an accruals basis, the costs incurred on the charity's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

(e) Government Grants

Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the statement of financial activities over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned. Other grants are credited to the statement of financial activities as the related expenditure is incurred.

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

(f) Taxation

The Church is a registered charity, and as such, is entitled to certain exemptions on income and profits from investments and surplus on any activities carried on in furtherance of the Church’s primary objectives, based on the assumption that these surpluses are applied solely for charitable purposes.

The Church is not registered for VAT. Irrecoverable Value Added Tax is charged to the relevant expenditure heading to which the net cost is associated.

(g) Tangible Fixed Assets

Fixed Assets are recorded at cost of purchase less accumulated depreciation. The Church generally capitalises assets which meet or exceed a de minimis value of £500 and are likely to have a useful economic life of more than one year.

Depreciation is charged at the following annual rates, commencing in the year of acquisition at rates estimated to write off their cost, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives.

Motor vehicles 25% straight Line, accured from the month after purchase Freehold Property 2% straight Line, accured from the month after purchase Fixtures & Fittings 20% straight Line, accured from the month after purchase Other assets 33.3% straight Line, accured from the month after purchase

(h) Debtors & Creditors

The Church recognises all transactions on an accruals basis, which is to say that all sums due to or from the Church are included in the year which they occurred. If they have not been paid or received, they are included as a debtor or creditor.

(i) Pensions

The church operates a defined contribution pension scheme, contributions payable to the scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

(j) Going concern

The trustees have determined that there is no material uncertainty that casts doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

(k) Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments, which are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

(l) General information

The Junction Church is a charitable incorporated organisation registered in England, registered number CE019818, and charity registered number 1186665

(m) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

The charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Critical areas of judgement:

Depreciation of tangible fixed assets:

Determining the appropriate rate of depreciation of tangible fixed assets requires an estimate of the useful economic life and ultimate net realisable value. The useful economic life is determined to be the period during
