King's Church, Chessington Report - Year ended 31 st December 2024
Organisational Structure
King's Church Chessington operates with a Board of Elders who met regularly {monthly) throughout the year
lo provide pastoral oversight and direction of the church in keeping with the charitable objectives.
KCC operates with a Board of Trustees who meel five limes a year to approve budgets,. receive management
accounts,. implement Charity Commission recommended policies, determine, and review significant policies.,
deal with employment mallers and conlraclual issues; and assess risks and safely for the charity.
Day-lo-day activity of the church is managed by the paid staff team, Ltnder the direction of the Senior
Leadership Team ISLTI consisting of Mike Tindall (Senior Pastor), Sieve Bialy (Pastor of Training &
Partnerships) and Ben Archer {Direclor of Operations) acling within responsibilities delegated by the Elders
and Trustees. The chair of Trustees acts as the line manager for the SL T.
Operations director, Ben Archer. who oversees all operational aspects of church life and the King's Centre
on a day-lo-day basis. allends all the Iwstee meetings in an advisory capacity and ensures operational
mplemenlalion.
The church also employs..
part lime administrative and pasloTal staff.
full lime and part lime staff lo run Ihe King s Centre and The Well Cafe - the church's building and
Community Cenlre.
The Trustees are supported in decision making by various working commillees drawn from church deacons,
members and congregation who have speu81isl expertise in the following afeas.
Finance - Chair Graham Birch, church treasurer, with Graeme Gentry as assigned Iruslee
Safeguarding - Chair Anne Underwood IDSLI with Jon Akhursl as assigned trustee.
Risk and safely - Chair Chris Underwood with Bob Robinson as assigned Irusle@.
Oala Security . Chair Andrew Brock with Chris Bass as assigned Iruslee.
People Chair Ben Archerlaclingl with Peter Hayden as assigned Iruslee.
These committees formally report lo the Trustees once a year as lo the stale of health for their area of
responsibility, an assessment of risk. and draft and recommend policies and changes lo policies for the
trustees lo approve. The commillees also act as advisors lo the Iruslees on an as-required basis and actions
raised and reviewed at each of the five annual Iru51ee meetings are passed lo each committee for working.
Previously the Trustees have held a master risk ￿l$ler with an action to review risks al each Iruslee meeting.
However, the Iruslees had concems as the diligence of this process, given lo the importance of risk
assessment in ensuring effective govemance for the charity. The decision was taken In early 2024 to ask
each of the working commillees lo lake ownership ol risk assessment in their area of responsibility and
compile their own risk register. Since then. each committee has been compiling a risk register with risk
assessment and miligalions identified. From this work, the Trustees began compiling a Master Trustee Risk
Register with high graded risks identified by the w0￿1n9 committee for Iruslee monitoring and action. This
document was in the process of compilation as we finished 2024 and the intent is that in 2025. as each
working group presents their work lo the Iruslees, the risks in their area will be presented and reviewed with
the Trustees.

trustees. They also prepare and review budgets and approve and monitor spend within their delegation of
authority IDOAI. Budgets are submilled for Trustee approval on an annual basis as well as approval ol
large spends outside the DOA of the finance committee. The greatest area of risk identified in 2024 was
succession planning for the current finance team wilh the recommendation of moving lo a new finance
software system which would allow easier transfer of financial controls rather than the current dependence
on spreadsheets. The new system is being implemented with a planned "go live" in 2025
Safeguarding
The Trustees recognise that a major potential risk Ihat the church faces is in Child Protection with ministry lo
over 300 children on a weekly basis as well as protection of up 100 vulnerable adults in our Highway and
senior's ministry. King's Church Chessinglon has a Safeguarding policy and procedures covering all our
activities with children and young people and adults at risk. These have been reviewed in line with legal
requirements and current best Practice. Slatf and volunteers receive appropriate training and information lo
be aware of safeguarding risks and all are subject lo all necessary checks using the Disclosure and Barring
Service IDBSI before working with children and vulnerable adults. A Safeguarding rèport Is presentèd lo the
Trustees each year and the policy, and procedures reviewed annually and updated when necessary. Al èv8ry
Iruslee's meeting safeguarding is reviewed.
From April 2023 Anne Underwood was employed as the designated safeguarding-lead lo ensure we maintain
the highest diligence in this area. Jon Akhursl Is the Iruslee assigned lo saleguarding integrity and works
cIos8ly with Anne unde￿I00d. They are supported by leads within areas of ministry who have operational
oversight. Given the vital importance of Safeguarding. the Trustees had commissioned an independent
review of the Safeguarding policies and procedures in 2022. which had led lo Anne's employment as
Oesignaled Safe9uarding Lead IDSL}-
Risk and Safety
The risk and safely commillee now oversee a facility risk Tegisler and an activity risk reglsler for activitiès
managed by the church both on and offsite. In addition, they monitor through the facility staff that facility
hirers and conlraclors have risk management and liability insurance in place. The committee also overview
health and safely through the health and safely policy including fire risk assessment, provision and training
ol first aiders and fire wardens, file systems lesling and the control of hazardous substances ICOSHI. One
action in 2024 was on the execution of a planned maintenance programme lo ensure we were compliant with
all mandatory requiiemenls.
This year the decision was taken lo upgrade the securily and fire monitoring alami systems, because of
weaknesses identified in the fire risk assessment in 2023. The contract for this work was awarded in late
2024.
The committee also monitors that the catering staff manage Food Hygiene risk effectively, and the catering
team currently have the Food Standards Agency highest rating of 5 for Food Hygiene. In 2024 flooring in
the kitchen and catering office wa5 replaced lo ensure the highest standards levels ol cleanliness.
The commillee al each meeting review the Facility and Activity Risk registers to identify any new risks that
arise and monitors how previously identified risks have been mitigated. They are supported in this by the
facility supeNisor {facility risks) and the ministry co-ordinator (activity risks) and the operations director.

King's Church, Chessington Report - Year ended 31 st December 2024
The Facility Supe￿is0r produces an annual Health & Safely Report identifying any pallerns in the accident
and near-miss logs and compliance with the Health and Safety policy and the associated "working al height"

presented to the Iruslees once a year for approv21. Risks and safety are monitored on a regular basis by the
Risk and Safely Committee and any concems raised with the Trustees through the link Iruslee.

Iruslees. This committee drafts and amends our GDPR and data secLtrily policies and reports lo the Iruslees
on any breaches or areas of concern. The commitlee oversees the integrity and security of our computer
systems 8nd data management and provides a report on Data Security lo the Iruslees on an annual basis.
There were no data breaches lo report in 2024 bul a few risks were identified which are now being miligaled
through the planned move from Google to a Microsoft team environment in 2025.
People
The Pèople Committee is responsible for management and development of staff and volunteers sils on
behalf of the trustees, the recruilmenl of staff and employmenl contracts under the staff banding structure
and the process for staff appraisals. The trustees remain responsible for setting pay awards by band each
year or approving transfers between bands or for the creation of any new posts that lie wilhoul the
approved budget. Pay reviews by Iruslees refer lo public-seclor and leaching salaries combined with cost

When employment legislation changes. OUT employment policies and staff handb¢)ok are reviewed and
updated by the People committee and approved by Ihe Iruslees. The People Commillee is also responsible
lor recruilmenl and appraisal of 51aff on behalf of the trustees in a fair and Iransparenl way.
During 2024 the director of operations was having to chair the people commillee on an ad hoc basis which
was not ideal. In late 2024 we have added new members lo the committee with more specialist skills In this
area lo bring the people committee up to the same standards as the other commill&es.
Other Ministries
In addition, ministry committeeslforums oversee several areas of ministry within the church under the
direclion of the elders such as
Kid's & Youth Ministry
Accessibility and Special Needs ministry
Techr)ical Support
Evangelism
Worship Team
Seniors, ministry
Men's ministry
Mission Team

King's Church, Chessington Report - Year ended 31 st December 2024
These teams can consist of a mixture of Elders, Deacons, and volunteers with a heart for these areas of
ministry. Most of the activities of King's Church Chessington is carried out by a large and willing body of
volunteers who are engaged in every area of the ministry ol the church, without whom most of the aims of
the church could not be delivered. No appropriate value can be attributed lo Ihis contribution, which therefore
is not included within the financial valuation of the charity.

doubled in recent years. In 2025 we plan lo bring this into line with previous levels.

fulfil at the church. We wish for every member of the staff lo achieve their full potenlial and lo that end have
supported their personal and spiritual development. This is normally monitored by way of annual review bul
most importantly in the day-lo-day encouragement in role and support from their line managers.
The employment of a full time Building and Programme Supervisors and cleaner means that our regular
programme of cleaning and maintenance ensures Ihe King's Centre is clean, Iresh, fit for purpose and ready
for operation on a (iaily basis. We also hav8 a large but wonderfully committed group of staff operating 'The
Well"
We are very appreciative of our senior leadership team of Mike. Steve and Ben who continuously look al how
we can engage our community. inspire the church, and progress the building of Christ's Kingdom here in
Chessinglon. These are ably supported by our leam of admin staff who help the smooth functioning of church
and centre life.

women's bible teacher. Mandy Cripps was employed part-time lo lake over the pastoral care work of our
women in autumn 2024 and we are in the process of appointing a part-lime women's worker lo oversee
women's bible study ministry and the discipling of our women.

with our senior pastor lo ensure our people are well cared.

Tindall joining us. These were.
We are both a local and a regional church (40°A of people who attersd KCC regularly, do not live in

Che55inglon and our region.
Over 2024 we have seen significant growth of the Sunday morning congregation and are now working at the
limits of the facility and car park in lems of capacity, and we are In the process of moving lo a second Sunday
morning service in 2025. The iriput from churches like Rockpoinl Phoenix Arizona and Mission Essex who

plarined women's bible teacher lo develop spiritual growth and maturity in our congregation through use of
small groups etc.

Notes to the Accounts
Accounting Policies
The financial slalements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Slalemenl of
Recommended Practice (Charities SORP {FRS10211. Financial Reporting Standard 102
IFRS102). and the Charities Act 2011. They contain information about the church on ils own.
and consolidated figures lo include ils trading subsidiary have not been included as the group
is loo small to require consolidation. The Church meets the definition of a public benefit entity
under FRS102
The financial slalements are drawn up on the historical cost basis of accounting. They are
denominated in pounds sterling, rounded lo the nearest pound.
The principal accounting policies adopted are sel out below..
lal Going concern
Al the lime of approving the financial slalemenls, the Iruslees have a reasonable
expectation Ihal the charity has adequate resources lo conlinue in operational existence
for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Iruslees continue lo adopt Ihe going concern basis
of accounting in preparing the financial slalernenls.
Ibl Donatlons and Charitable Grant Income
All income is recognised once the charity has enlillemenl to the income. il is probable
Ihat the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be reliably
measured. Charitable granls which have conditions which have not been fulfilled las
dislincl from reslriclions on the purpose for which they can be used) are Irealed as
liabilities and only recognised as income when the conditions are achieved. Gifts In kind
are accounted for at a reasonab18 estimate of their values lo the charily or the amount
actually realised.
Income received in circumstances where a claim for repayment of tax has been or will
be rnade lo HMRC is grossed up for the lax recoverable. Any amount of lax not yet
reclaimed from HMRC is shown within the Charity's debtors.
Icl Donatlons and Charitabla Grants Expenditura
Donations and charitable grants payable are recognised as expenditur& at the earlier of
when they are paid and when an outflow of economic benefit is probable.
Id) Restricted and Unrestricted Funds
Reslricled funds are those received lor use on specified purposes. Expenditure which
meets those criteria is allocated lo Ihal fund. Unreslricled funds are those received or
generated that can be used for the general purposes of the charity-
lel In¢ome and Other Expenditure
Interest income is taken into account when receivable and expenditure when incurred by
the Charity, regardless of when payment is made.

King's Church, Chessinglon Report - Year ended 31 st December 2024
Depreciation

lo the Charity. The annual deprecialion rates and melhods are as follows:.
Equipment
Furniture and Fittings
Minibus
Leasehold buildings
20 10 per annum on written down value
10 /¢ per annum on wrillen down value
20 % per annum on wrillen down value
- over 50 years
Items costing less than £200 are wrilten off in the year of purchase.
No depreciation is provided on freehold buildings. The trustees consider that the residual
value is Iherefore 50 high a5 to render any depreciation charge or cumulative
depreciation, immaterial. It is Ihe church's policy lo maintain these al least to their current
standard and lo charge to the statement of financial aclivilies the cost of maintenance as
incurred.
Igl Penslon Commitments
The charity operates defined contribution arrangements for certain of the staff. Pension
contributions are charged as expenditure when paid and are invested separately from
the charity's assets.
Ihl
Debtors

Prepayments are valued al the amount prepaid.
Cash at Bank and In Hand

a short malurily of three months or less from the dale of opening of the deposit.
Credltors and Provislons
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation
arising from a past event Ihal will probably result in the transfer of funds lo a third party
and Ihe amount due lo sellle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.
Creditors and provisions are recognised al their settlement amount.
Ikl Financial Instruments
The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial
inslrumenls. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and
subsequently measured al their settlement value.
