| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | The charity – that is the church - has continued to provide a place for people to both explore the Christian faith, and to mature existing faith. Members have benefited from regular Sunday morning services, occasional evening services, weekly small group bible studies and pastoral care. The wider public are warmly invited to all of these, in addition to other activities the church engages in – which are open to anyone to attend. These include: the monthly walk – where we will visit various beauty spots in eastern Kent, such as White Cliffs Dover, Stodmarsh Nature Reserve, St Margarets Bay; monthly lunch which is a bring and share meal after the communion service; social gatherings for hot drinks and snacks; special Easter and Christmas services which are advertised by leaflet shots in targeted areas closet to where the church meets (areas of Pegwell, Nethercourt and Cliffsend) and occasional Café Church meetings which is a more informal way to hold church where everyone is sat at a table café style. The special services have in particular managed to draw many in – especially the Christmas service - and community relationships have been built from that. This has provided a route to enable some care of the local elderly. Some growth of the church has been welcome, and we pray that new areas within Thanet can be reached because of this. |
Financial Review
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | Total income for the period was£45,147.27. This comprised of various donations from grant making trusts and from member giving. There was expenditure for annual memberships and licences, such as insurance, as well as venue hire. The main expenditure costs were seen in the employment of the minister. There was an excess of payments over receipts of£4,019.73on unrestricted funds, leaving an overall balance of£7,236.29. This will be used in the employment of the minister over the following period as grant income reduces for the same period. The drop off in grant income will be matched through gift giving |

from supporters outside the church. It is
envisaged that this will continue into the
next year along with prayerfully expected
internal growth.
Statement explaining the Para 1.22 There is no policy for holding reserve funds,
policy for holding reserves but it is desirable to have 3 months worth of
stating why they are held costs in reserve. This is due to the
unpredictable nature of donations from
grant making trusts.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 No funds designated as reserves
Reasons for holding zero Para 1.22 Due to the unpredictable nature of fund
reserves raising in terms of dates and success, it is
impossible to set aside a reserve allocation.
This has been the case each year as fund
raising occurs throughout the year and is
dependent on one-off gifts to make up
shortfalls. These one-off gifts are very hard
to predict and budget for. However, the
trustees are confident that funds will be
supplied as and when needed. The long-
term solution to this is for prayerful growth
of the church. Should funds fall short of the
desired amount, there is considerable
scope in reducing the employment costs to
ensure the sufficient, continued operation of
the charity.

REDEEMER CHURCH THANET
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Objects of the charity
The charity, which is a church, is governed by a constitution and is constituted as a charitable incorporated organisation. The charity's principal objects, as set out in its governing document, are:
a) the advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the charity's Basis of Faith primarily, but not exclusively, within Redeemer Church Thanet, the surrounding neighbourhood and Isle of Thanet.
b) such other charitable purposes as shall put into practice the Christian faith including but not limited to the prevention and relief of need, hardship and sickness; the advancement of education; and the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare.
Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements
To further the above objects and vision, the charity's main activities and achievements were as follows:
The charity – that is the church - has continued to provide a place for people to both explore the Christian faith, and to mature existing faith. Members have benefited from regular Sunday morning services, occasional evening services, weekly small group bible studies and pastoral care.
The wider public are warmly invited to all of these, in addition to other activities the church engages in, which are open to anyone to attend. These include: the monthly walk – visiting various beauty spots in eastern Kent, such as White Cliffs Dover, Stodmarsh Nature Reserve, St Margarets Bay; monthly lunch, which is a bring and share meal after the communion service; social gatherings for hot drinks and snacks; special Easter and Christmas services which are advertised by leaflet shots in targeted areas closed to where the church meets (areas of Pegwell, Nethercourt and Cliffsend), and occasional Café Church meetings which is a more informal way to hold church where everyone is sat at a table, café style.
The special services have in particular managed to draw many in – especially the Christmas service - and community relationships have been built from that. This has provided a route to enable some care of the local elderly.
Some growth of the church has been welcome, and we pray that new areas within Thanet can be reached because of this.
All activities take into account the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, specifically the guidance on the advancement of religion.
Financial review
During the year income increased by £5,200, to £40,200, and this comprised of various donations from grant making trusts and from member giving. Expenditure increased by £1,000, to £44,200. There was expenditure for annual memberships and licences, such as insurance, as well as venue hire. The main expenditure costs were seen in the employment of the minister.
As a result the cash held by the charity decreased by £4,000, to £7,200, of which all is unrestricted and can be used for any charitable purpose. This will be used in the employment of the minister over the following period as grant income reduces for the same period.
The drop off in grant income will be matched through gift giving from supporters outside the church. It is envisaged that this will continue into the next year along with prayerfully expected internal growth.
Page 2
Reserves policy
Although there is no set policy, it is desirable that the charity should aim to hold unrestricted cash equivalent to no less than 3 months of unrestricted expenditure (approximately £11,000) so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely. At the year end, the charity held unrestricted cash of £7,200 which is equivalent to 2 months of expenditure.
Due to the unpredictable nature of fundraising in terms of dates and success, it is impossible to set aside a reserve allocation. This has been the case each year as fundraising occurs throughout the year and is dependent on one-off gifts to make up shortfalls. These one-off gifts are very hard to predict and budget for. However, the trustees are confident that funds will be supplied as and when needed. The long-term solution to this is for prayerful growth of the church. Should funds fall short of the desired amount, there is considerable scope in reducing the employment costs to ensure the sufficient, continued operation of the charity.
Governance
Responsibility for setting policy and for making strategic decisions rest with the trustees who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity. Responsibility for the day to day operation of the charity has been delegated to Revd Peter Harvey, the church's minister, who serves as an ex-offico trustee. Other new trustees are recruited and appointed by the existing trustees, by a majority vote.
Responsibilities of trustees
Charity law requires us as Trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which record the receipts and payments of the charity for the year.
We are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011.
We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1 Accounting policies
The accounts have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis and comprise a statement that shows the charity's receipts and payments, a statement that summarises the charity's assets and liabilities and related notes. The accountancy profession have determined that only accounts prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards present a 'true and fair' view and, as these receipts and payments accounts have not (and cannot) be prepared in accordance with accounting standards, these accounts do not present (and are not intended to present) a 'true and fair' view of the charity's financial activities and state of affairs.
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. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.
