## **Aims and Purposes** 

To advance the Christian religion for the benefit of the public throughout the Three Rivers area, and throughout the United Kingdom or internationally as the trustees from time to time may see fit, in particular but not exclusively through the holding of prayer meetings, lectures, public celebration of religious festivals, providing pastoral care and carrying out missionary and evangelistic work. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

In addition to this, the activities of the Charity benefit the public in many meaningful and measurable ways. Both volunteers and attendees are given opportunities to develop transferable skills—such as leadership, communication, teamwork, and pastoral care—which can be taken back into their workplaces, families, and wider local communities. These skills not only enhance individual growth but also contribute to the strengthening of community cohesion and wellbeing. 

The trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission. In particular, we have carefully considered both the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and the specific guidance relating to the advancement of religion for the public benefit. The trustees remain committed to ensuring that all activities undertaken by the charity are aligned with our stated charitable objects and aims, and that they provide clear and tangible benefit to the public. 

Now in our fifth year of operations, we are encouraged to report that the advancement of our charitable objectives continues to be both evident and effective. Over the past year, we have seen a steady increase in membership, alongside a growing number of volunteers willing to contribute their time, energy, and gifts towards the life of the church. What began as a church plant is now increasingly functioning as an established and maturing ministry. This is particularly reflected in the way many members have stepped into positions of responsibility, taking ownership of various ministry areas and contributing to the overall health and sustainability of the church. 

We have continued to invest intentionally in our midweek meetings, recognising their importance as spaces for deeper connection and spiritual growth. These gatherings provide a more relational and interactive environment than Sunday services alone can offer, enabling individuals to build meaningful relationships, engage more openly in discussion, and support one another in their faith journeys. Feedback consistently highlights these meetings as vital to fostering a sense of belonging and community. 

Weekly Worship Services - during the past year, we moved our Sunday gatherings to a new venue at Rickmansworth Secondary School. This move has proven to be a significant and positive development, providing a substantial increase in space and improved facilities for both adults and children. The availability of multiple classrooms has enabled us to divide children into smaller, age-appropriate groups, allowing teaching and activities to be more effectively tailored to their developmental stages.

## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT** _**(CONTINUED)**_ 

## **YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025** 

Our Kids’ Ministry continues to be a particular strength of the church. Both parents and children consistently share positive feedback regarding their experiences, noting the engaging teaching, welcoming environment, and strong sense of care. We are deeply grateful for the faithful leadership Lucy has provided in this area. As she now senses it is time to step down from this role, we are prayerfully and actively seeking a new Kids’ Pastor to lead this vital ministry into its next season. We see this transition not as a challenge, but as an exciting opportunity to build on strong foundations and which will continue to grow. 

Our monthly ‘family breakfast’ gatherings remain a highlight within the church calendar. These mornings, which combine shared meals with all-age worship and Bible study, have proven highly effective in fostering intergenerational connection. It is particularly encouraging to see individuals of all ages engaging with one another, learning together, and building relationships that might not otherwise form in more traditional service settings. 

Missions and Outreach - we have continued to prioritise both local and international mission. Locally, we maintain a strong partnership with Restore Hope Latimer, providing financial support as well as practical involvement in their initiatives. This includes Tom leading a weekly Bible study for individuals connected with the charity, offering both spiritual encouragement and relational support. 

We have also remained actively involved in “Detonate,” a churches-together holiday camp held annually in Chorleywood. This five-day event provides a valuable opportunity for children and young people to engage with the Christian faith in an accessible and dynamic way. Tom continues to serve on the leadership team, and we are grateful for the many volunteers from our church who contribute their time and skills to make this event possible. 

Internationally, we have continued to support a Ukrainian family affected by the ongoing conflict. What began as a one-off fundraising initiative has developed into an ongoing commitment, now supported through the church’s general funds. This relationship has helped to broaden the church’s perspective, reminding members of the global nature of the Church and encouraging a heart for mission beyond our immediate context. 

Youth Ministry - our youth programme, launched last year, has continued to grow and develop. It runs on alternate Sunday mornings alongside the children’s ministry, as well as on alternating Friday evenings, which focus on social connection and community building. It has been particularly encouraging to see young people inviting their friends, creating an environment that is both welcoming and outward facing. We look forward to this ministry continuing to expand, both through new attendees and through the natural transition of children moving up from the Kids’ Ministry. 

Vision Day and Future Planning - as we look forward, we are planning to hold a Vision Day, bringing together leaders and trustees of the church to prayerfully reflect on the journey so far and to seek direction for the future. This day will provide space not only for celebration of all that God has done, but also for honest evaluation and strategic future planning.

## **Financial Review of 2025** 

Our Donations and gifts income remained healthy at £137,000, an increase of £4,000 over the previous year. Total income grew to £140,000, up from £136,000 in 2024. With our church activities developing, operating expenditure rose to £115,000, an increase of £32,000 with higher staff costs, a significant rise in rental costs and our new commitment for support in Ukraine. With interest received now at £708, our resulting net income for the year was £26,000, down from last year’s £53,000. 

As our church continues to grow, we have established a Designated Fund for future property requirements and have transferred £40,000 to meet a future acquisition or lease commitment. We are exploring suitable sites for our growing church in the local area. 

## **Reserves and Risk Management** 

Our reserve policy is to hold at least six months running costs, equivalent to approximately £74,000, and we aim to maintain at least this level as the church grows and our fixed costs increase. Our principal source of funds is donations and gifts from church attendees and visitors. 

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. 

This report was approved by the trustees on 2 May 2026 and is signed on their behalf by:

## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES** 

We report on the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2025 set out on pages 8 to 15. 

## **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.
