2.2 Annual Report

Cambridge is a diverse city, with people from many different ethnic groups. As of the 2021, the population of the City of Cambridge was about 145,700. Of which, 2.4% were born in China. There had been a sharp growth in the numbers of Chinese in the city over the past decade. Data in 2022 revealed that Chinese population in Cambridge increased by 43% since the last census in 2011. This has been attributable to her world-class education, flourishing high-tech industry and comfortable living environment (1)(2). Cambridge continues to attract talents from all over the world to stay here for study, career development and living in years to come. Adapting to a new culture and far away from home, new residents inevitably experience anxious and challenging times. Yet, it has been in just these kinds of circumstances when God has drawn people to Himself and worked through His people for His glory. CCM looks to Him for every step taking forward.

Overview

The year 2024/25 was a challenging one for Cambridge Campus Ministry (CCM). Amid ongoing economic and political uncertainties, both locally and globally, we remain deeply grateful for the steadfast support of our partners, donors, and coworkers—those who have journeyed with us for many years and those newly connected to CCM.

1. Youth Ministry

In partnership with Cambridge Alliance Church, CCM appointed a full-time Youth Minister, Mr Lawrence Tse, to oversee a Youth Ministry serving approximately 70 young people from Hong Kong. The Youth Fellowship demonstrated growth in leadership and participation, with involvement in the Spring Evangelical Concert as a key highlight. The secondment concluded in September 2024.

2. Outreach to Chinese Academics

The British Culture English Course continued to provide educational engagement for Chinese academics. The Trustees record their appreciation for Ms Ruth Lewis and Mr Abraham for their commitment. Enrolment declined due to reduced overseas academic mobility, but the programme remained aligned with the charity’s objectives.

3. Connecting Community

Community engagement initiatives included a Vacation Bible School delivered by a Canadian mission team in August 2024 and well-being workshops in December 2024. ‘Street Café’ initiatives were launched with local church partners to foster community interaction.

4. International Networking

CCM engaged with theological academics, pastors, and church leaders across the UK, Europe, and North America. In March 2025, CCM shared its vision with a UK Vision Trip delegation from the United States, laying foundations for future collaboration.

3. Financial Review

Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period 31 March 2025.

Donations increased by about £22K from the 2023/24 to the 2024/25 financial year. We are receiving more support from local churches in the UK and also from churches in Hong Kong. Expenses slightly decreased by £3K, from £89K to £86K, this financial year. As a result, there was a £9K surplus as income exceeded expenses for the period of 2024/25.

The cash at bank was £51K in unrestricted funds. Donations are expected to come in at a steady level. The reserve is held to cover operational costs in case of a loss of income and to meet unexpected events. Overall, the financial position is deemed to be healthy.
