OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Public Benefit

The Charity's activities provide clear public benefit through:

Community Outreach: The Charity directly serves the public through practical support including:

Distribution of food packages and basic supplies to families in need
Breakfast packages for community members in West Croydon
Care packages distributed in Romford
Welfare support specifically targeting vulnerable groups including single mothers and low-income households

Social Cohesion: Our activities contribute to community cohesion by bringing people together across social and economic boundaries, fostering mutual support and understanding within the local community.

The Trustees ensure that our charitable purposes are carried out for the benefit of the public and that any private benefit is incidental to the achievement of our charitable aims.

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Achievements and Performance

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE AGAINST OBJECTIVES

During the reporting period, the Charity continued to pursue its charitable objectives by sharing the gospel, supporting spiritual growth, and providing practical care to people within the communities it serves.

Church Planting and Growth: • Continued to make the new branch known within the local community through outreach, invitations and relationshipbuilding activities.
Maintained regular weekly evangelism at the established branch, helping to keep the Charity visible and accessible to the public.
Used evangelism and local outreach to engage people who may not otherwise have had contact with the Charity’s worship services or support activities.
Strengthened the Charity’s presence across its branches, laying a foundation for future growth in membership and participation.
Community Impact:
Reached members of society in need of spiritual encouragement, counselling, pastoral care and community support.
• Provided support and encouragement for people experiencing homelessness and to individuals facing personal, emotional or spiritual challenges.
Promoted wellbeing by creating a welcoming environment where beneficiaries could receive prayer, counsel, fellowship and practical guidance.
Used regular outreach to identify needs within the community and to signpost people towards the Charity’s worship, pastoral and support activities.

Spiritual Development:

Encouraged the spiritual growth and wellbeing of members and beneficiaries through worship, teaching, counselling and pastoral support.
Supported individuals seeking deeper spiritual development and a stronger connection with the church community.

Continued to prioritise evangelism as a core part of the Charity’s mission, both through branch activities and weekly outreach work.
Helped beneficiaries build confidence, faith and resilience through consistent engagement with the Charity’s ministry.

Challenges and Learning:

A key challenge during the year was the need to increase public awareness of the newer branch while continuing to maintain regular activities at the established branch. This was managed by focusing on consistent weekly evangelism, community engagement and practical relationship-building. The trustees recognise that continued growth will require sustained outreach, stronger follow-up with new contacts, and careful planning of activities so that the Charity can expand its reach while remaining financially and operationally sustainable.

Financial Review

Financial Position

• Financial Position

The Charity recorded a deficit of £43,270 during the year (2024: £15,862 deficit). This reflects a substantial increase in expenditure relative to income, indicating continued investment in ministry activities and operational expansion.

Prior Year Comparison

2025 Income: £163,069 (2024: £170,351) 2025 Expenditure: £206,339 (2024: £186,213) 2025 Net result: -£43,270 (2024: -£15,862)

Income decreased slightly by around 4% compared to 2024, while expenditure increased by approximately 11%. The higher level of spending has led to a significantly larger deficit year-on-year.

The increase in expenditure likely reflects ongoing commitments to ministry expansion, community outreach, and associated operational costs. As a result, total funds carried forward reduced to £25,824 (2024: £69,094), highlighting the need for careful financial management and potential focus on income growth in future periods.

Going Concern

The trustees have assessed the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees remain committed to managing the Charity’s resources responsibly while pursuing its charitable objectives. Planned activities for the next period will be kept under review to ensure that outreach, crusades, branch development and pastoral support are delivered within the Charity’s available resources.

The trustees will continue to encourage regular giving, review operational costs, and plan activities carefully so that the Charity can maintain its existing work while strengthening outreach and evangelism in the year ahead.

Salvation Ministries (Home Of Success) Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Salvation Ministries (Home Of Success) For The Year Ended 31 July 2025

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Salvation Ministries (Home of Success)

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023 set out on pages three to six.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and 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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of the independent examiner's report

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 you as 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 statements below.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with my examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

Accounting records were not kept as required by section 63 of the 2008 Act and section 130 of the 2011 Act: or
The accounts do not accord with those records; or
The accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of the 2008 Act and the 2011 Act 2011; or
The accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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 confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
