TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Annual Report 2025 Catch the Fire, Farnborough Charity Registration number: 1189161
The Charity is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) governed by its foundation constitution document and registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales on 22[nd] April 2020. This is the fifth year of activity for the Charity.
Aims and Purposes
The objects of the CIO are religious worship, and Christian outreach and support in the Farnborough area, regionally and internationally.
Objectives in 2025
The primary focus of 2025 was to successfully navigate a staff restructure and to celebrate five years of the charity. As well as to search for more suitable and affordable rental premises for Sunday worship services.
Achievements and Performance
2025 began with Senior Pastors Christopher and Rachel Bird beginning a new part time role as National Leaders of Catch the Fire UK; with Sam Bird appointed as Lead Pastor in a staff team restructure. Sam and Jonathan remain full time members of staff, while Christopher and Rachel have stayed on team in a part-time capacity as Founding Pastors.
This staff restructure warranted a concerted effort from all levels of leadership to see that the new structure felt like a continuation rather than a new start. Christopher and Rachel’s role moved from running the day to day to advising as Sam and Jonathan stepped up in their responsibility. This allowed the transition to happen with real stability and continuity of leadership. The church has therefore sustained steady growth throughout the year.
On March 29th, 2025, the Church celebrated its 5-year anniversary with a Saturday Worship Service hosted at Basingstoke Baptist Church. The band was led by Sam Daniel and visiting musicians including some from within the Catch the Fire movement of churches. It was great to have input from a nationally influential worship leader. The speaker for the event was Ken Gott, internationally renowned speaker and part of the Global Leadership Team of Catch the Fire world. It was a great honour for the church to host Ken and receive positive feedback from Him about the health of Christian discipleship happening in the organisation. Many people who had previously been involved or invested in the church over the previous 5 years were invited to attend and it was a great celebration of everything that has been achieved over the past 5 years.

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
In 2025, significant organisational changes were also taking place. The cost of renting the cinema where Sunday services had been held was increasing and the church was now filling the venue, necessitating additional space. This led to a comprehensive search of the area for a new more suitable and affordable venue. The search was concluded when an agreement was made with Stockton House in Fleet which can host up to 120 people in its hall. The new venue not only brought larger capacity for adults but 2 breakout rooms for the Children’s activities as well as parking and storage on site. This has opened the door to further cost reductions as the church intends to move equipment out of storage and into the new venue in 2026. The contract starts in January 2026, and we anticipate it being a big strategic step forward for the church as it comes with more space and less time constraints opening possibilities to further the church’s work on a Sunday, facilitating further growth. All this was achieved while also costing the church significantly less than previous premises.
Throughout 2025 the church continued its focus on Christian discipleship and education of members, developing its own material for midweek gatherings called Basecamps. The vision for these Basecamps is to aid in member’s personal, spiritual and mental wellbeing and development in a focused small group setting. We have already seen success in this area with members reporting skills learned in these classes leading to better understanding of themselves and colleagues at work facilitating better mental wellbeing.
2025 also saw the implementation of the church’s newly developed safeguarding training, demonstrating the church’s ongoing commitment to protect and serve the vulnerable.
Public benefit
The charity trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties.
Structure, Governance and Management
The Trustees (listed below) have continued to ensure due diligence in all matters relating to the management of CTFF. In addition to ensuring good financial governance, the trustees held the leadership team accountable to the vision of the church and reviewed all the church policies during 2025 to ensure that these were all up to date.
To fulfil their governance mandate, the trustees met 5 times during 2025, and in addition maintained close contact with the Senior Leaders to ensure the good management and governance of the Church.

Reserves and Risk Management
It is the policy of the charity to build up and maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which equates to approximately three months’ unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management, administration and support costs. At the year-end this equated to approximately £45,744 compared to the actual general reserves of -£28,334. The trustees intend to build up the general reserves in the next few years to cover this amount moving forward.
The trustees have considered the key operational, financial, and strategic risks that have a bearing on the charity. Suitable management information is available to the trustees on a regular basis to monitor these risks and allow any mitigating action to be taken to address them.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its financial activities for that year. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
a) select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
b) make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
c) state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice, “Accounting and Reporting by Charities (effective January 2019)” and with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
d) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume the charity will continue operating.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES
We report on the financial statements for the year ended 31[st] December 2025 set out on pages 7 to 14.
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 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; 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 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 have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities and the Financial Reporting Standard (FRS 102 – effective January 2019).
Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. Investment income and gains are allocated to the appropriate fund.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.
Resources expended
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Support costs are apportioned to activity/project according to total costs of activities undertaken directly and grant funding of activities.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Assets are capitalised if they have a useful life of more than one year and a cost value greater than £100.
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the value of each asset over its expected useful life:
-
Computer equipment 33% on cost
-
