Accounting and Reporting Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales 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 church and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the church for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the church’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the church and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Structure, Governance and Management

Teddington Baptist Church is an independent Baptist Church. Its aim is the advancement of the Christian Gospel consistent with the statements of principle and faith of the Baptist Union and the Evangelical Alliance. The Church is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). Governing documents consist of the Deed of Trust dated 23 January 1884, together with the Constitution dated 15 September 2021, which came into operation on 1 October 2022.

The Leadership Team is accountable to the Church Meeting (members of the church) for the overseeing of all policy matters and activity undertaken by the Church. The Leadership Team normally meets at least once a month. Church Meetings normally take place six times a year including the Annual General Meeting which normally takes place in March.

The Management Trustees are chosen by the church members and elected by secret ballot, normally at the Annual General Meeting. The elections are for vacant posts and for existing Management Trustees standing to be re-elected. New Trustees are provided with an Induction Pack and briefed about their responsibilities on their appointment.

The Leadership Team regularly reviews the major risks to the church and takes appropriate steps to manage these risks.

The Church Meeting agrees a budget every year which typically includes Mission giving to our two related Baptist organisations, Baptist Missionary Society World Mission and Home Mission Fund.

Regular finance updates are provided to the Leadership Team and to the Church Meeting.

The Church has policy documents on: Health and Safety; Fire Safety; Safeguarding; Data Protection; Employment; and Lettings. It also has an Ethos statement. The Church maintains disabled access to its buildings, including a ramp at the main entrance and a lift to the upper floors to enable access to all activities in our buildings.

Objectives and Activities

The aim of the Church is ‘To bring Christ to the community and the community to Christ’. We also aim to be an integral part of the local community and to serve it as best we can. In furtherance of this objective, the trustees have complied with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s published guidance concerning the operation of the Public Benefit requirement under the Act.

During the whole of 2025 we were without a minister. We continued our search for a new minister with the help of our Regional Minister Rev Hany Abdelmasih, and our Moderator Rev Dr Louise Hearn of East Sheen Baptist Church. In September, at a Special Church meeting, the church voted in favour of Rev Jonathan Findlater being invited to be the new minister of the church. He accepted the invitation and will begin his ministry in January 2026.

In spite of having no minister during 2025, the life and work of the church has continued through the efforts of the Diaconate, visiting preachers and the commitment of members of the fellowship. The Sunday morning services continue to be live streamed.

During 2025, we continued to run our popular Open Door and Busy Bees on a Tuesday morning during term-time. Open Door caters for parents and carers with children aged between 0 and 2½ years. Busy Bees is for parents and carers with children from 2½ up to school age. These groups provide the opportunity for the adults to chat together and for their youngsters to play using a wide range of toys.

We also continued to run our successful Who Let the Dads Out? Held every three weeks on a Saturday morning, this caters for dads and other male carers with their children up to infant school leaving age. It provides men with the opportunity to get to know other men and have some quality play time with their children.

During the year, TBC Men’s Ministry arranged some social events open to men from the church, their friends and men who attend activities at church. A number of men’s breakfasts were also held, each with a visiting speaker.

We also continued to hold the Sunflower Café. Held once a month on a Saturday morning, this is a drop-in session for families and carers who are caring for someone under age 18 who has a special educational need, a disability, or an additional need. The support offered by this initiative has been much appreciated.

Two new initiatives were begun during the year. In February we began English conversation sessions for foreign nationals wanting to improve their English. These have proved to be successful. Then in September, a monthly ‘Coffee and Craft’ group was begun, providing an opportunity for crafting, conversation and a cuppa.

During the year we also continued to run 4Youth. Held twice a month on a Sunday afternoon, this group is for young people from the age of 11. We continue to have good numbers attending this group, but there is a need for a gifted Youth worker if this work is to develop.

Through the year, a number of social outings and events were organised by different people in the fellowship. Such activities give participants the opportunity to have an interesting day out, and to get to know one another more. There was also a monthly lunch for single women.

The Church now has a large number of Hong Kong members. Last year we agreed to become a ‘Hong Kong Hub’ in support of the Baptist Union Hong Kong Response Project. We have continued to support this during 2025, beginning with hosting, in January, a special gathering of HongKongers for a service of Cantonese Worship and Prayer.

In the absence of a minister, less special events were held during the year. A highlight came in April when we hosted the musical ‘It is Well With My Soul’. This was well attended and greatly appreciated.

As Christmas approached, in November we held our annual Craft Fair, which provided space for a good number of locally based stallholders, and which also featured attractions for children such as farm animals. In December we held our usual Christmas events, including our regular Carol service, Christingle service, and Christmas Day service.

Teddington Baptist Church Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025

This year we have continued to support the Richmond Food Bank and have continued to play a part in the work of Street Pastors in Kingston. The Church also houses Grace Advocacy. Grace Advocacy is an advocacy service designed to help people struggling with things such as money and debts, benefits, housing and adult social care.

Throughout the year our premises have been used extensively by a range of outside organisations and individuals for meetings, parties and activities for all ages. We offer a range of rooms and prices to suit a wide variety of needs.

We have continued to work alongside other churches through Churches Together in Teddington. This has included participating in Christian Aid Week and staffing the Christmas Day lunch for the elderly at Elleray Hall.

All of our activities and the use of our premises by others cannot take place without the dedicated effort and support of the staff, and of members of the congregation of this Church working in a voluntary capacity. Thanks are due to all those who have enabled these activities to take place.

The church, above all, is a community that meets to worship God. Each Sunday we welcome all who wish to join with us as together we sing, pray and hear God's Word. Caring for one another is also a priority, and we have done this through our Pastoral Team and a network of Lifegroups which meet regularly throughout the year. During the year we have had the joy of seeing six people being baptised.

As in recent years, in 2025 the Church’s financial giving was focused on the two Baptist charities, BMS World Mission and Home Mission Fund. In addition, we also gave financial support to a number of other charities including London City Mission, Street Pastors, the Richmond Foodbank, Open Doors, Tearfund and Kingston Churches Action on Homelessness. Also, each month in our services we have prayed for the persecuted church in various countries.

The church engaged in fundraising in the form of receiving free-will offerings/donations, some of which were giftaided, from members of our fellowship. However, we did not contract the service of any professional fundraisers as defined by section 58 of the Charities Act 1992. We do not engage in persistent fundraising nor intrusive fundraising practices with any of our donors, including vulnerable people, and we never have private or coercive discussions with individuals about their giving. Our fundraising practices are ethical and in accordance with Biblical principles. No complaints were received about our fundraising practices.

There are no material uncertainties over going concern.

Achievements and performance

The numbers of those coming to the church’s range of activities including our Sunday services indicates that we continue to make progress in achieving our aims and serving the needs of the community. During 2025 our activities have continued to be popular and the facilities that the church offers have remained in demand. The Church is known as a welcoming church and increasingly we are becoming a multicultural community as we continue to welcome people from Hong Kong and other nations worldwide.

Future Plans

Our new minister begins his ministry at the Church on 13[th] January 2026. Consideration of the priorities for 2026 will be high on the agenda following his arrival.

One pressing matter will be to consider the employment of a Youth worker, together with considering the future use of 5 Walpole Crescent.

Teddington Baptist Church

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025

1 Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accounts are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Charities Act 2011 and the requirements of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice 2019 applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). The accounts are presented in sterling rounded to the nearest pound.

Teddington Baptist Church is a charitable incorporated organisation and carries out most of its activities at its premises at Church Road, Teddington, TW11 8PF. It is a public benefit entity.

Going Concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the church has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. There are no material uncertainties affecting the church’s ability to continue in its operations. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Donations

Donations are accounted for gross when received.

Refund of Income Tax

Refund of Income Tax from donations received under Gift Aid is included in the accounts for the year in which the donation is received.

Legacies

Legacies are accounted for when their receipt is probable and can be properly quantified.

Investment Income

Investment income is included in the accounts in the year in which it is receivable.

Grants Payable

The Church makes grants to other organisations whose charitable objects complement its work. It also makes grants to various individuals involved in Christian ministry.

Governance Costs

This represents direct expenditure on the governance of the church and consists of independent assessment and other professional services for the current year. Most of the management is carried out without charge by volunteers. This intangible cost is not included in the Statement of Financial Activities since there is no measurable cost to the volunteers for their service.

Tangible Fixed Assets

Freehold land and buildings are included at deemed cost which was the value used at the date of transition to FRS102. Freehold land is not depreciated. Other fixed assets are included at cost.

Depreciation

Depreciation has not been charged on the Church or the residential premises owned by the Church, because in the opinion of the Trustees, the residual value of each asset is greater than the carrying value. Depreciation on other fixed assets is calculated to write off the cost on a 'straightline' basis over the expected useful life, with a full year's depreciation charged in the year of purchase at rate of 25% per annum.

Fund Accounting

Restricted, unrestricted designated and unrestricted general funds are separately disclosed in the accounts. Restricted funds are subject to specific restrictions imposed by the donor or by the nature of the appeal. Designated funds are set aside at the direction of the trustees for specific purposes. They would otherwise form part of unrestricted funds. Specific designated funds representing fixed assets appear in the accounts and these are not readily available for other purposes.

Expenditure

Expenditure is included on an accruals basis, but grants are charged in the accounts when paid to the recipient.

Reserves Policy

A Special Reserve fund is in place to make provision for unforeseen future circumstances. The reserve is based on 6 months of Ministerial costs and 3 months of other expenditure.

Pension Costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of opening of the deposit.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation arising from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognised at their settlement amount.

Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

The Buildings fund consists of the church buildings and the residential premises at 79 Hampton Road and 5 Walpole Crescent. This fund is not readily available for other purposes.

The Legacy Fund is for monitoring the expenditure of legacies.

The Mission and Outreach Fund is for mission and outreach from the church to support causes outside the Baptist Union. Funds are transferred from the General Fund to facilitate this.

The Special Reserve Fund was set up as a provision to cover any unforeseen future circumstances. It is to cover 6 months of Ministerial costs and 3 months of other costs.

The Building Repairs Fund is to cover work on the premises which is additional to the budgeted premises costs. Funds are transferred from the General Fund to facilitate this.

The Additional Workers Fund is to assist in paying for additional staff in the future, when the income may be insufficient to cover the costs.

The Family and Youth Work Fund is a restricted fund for the church to reach out to children and young adults.

The Furniture & Equipment Fund is a restricted fund for donations made specifically for the purpose of purchasing furniture and equipment for the church. The transfer during the year was made towards the purchase of a fixed asset.

The Housing Fund was formerly to provide financial assistance to some who are in good standing with the fellowship to obtain residential accommodation for their own use within the locality of the Church. The object was changed after approval by the Charity Commission in December. The object is now for the public benefit to relieve people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless including through the provision and evaluation of services to such people which directly or indirectly prevent, relieve, reduce or end their homelessness.

The Ministers Pastoral Fund is from donations to enable the Minister to help members of the fellowship in unforeseen difficulties.
