Financial Review

Overall, the financial position remains strong with total income of £462,674, despite exceeding total expenditure (£490,750) by £28,076, primarily due to having a full compliment of staff during a transition period when income is still needing to grow over three years. The trustees, with the agreement of the members, have transferred some of the designated reserves to fund the Church Ministry Lead staff role and capital expenditure, whilst consideration is still being given to the longer term use of these reserves associated with legacy received in 2020-21, which currently stand at £341,555.

General Fund income was £351,732 which was £3,727 higher than the previous year primarily due to the increased self­ funding events (with corresponding outgoing expenditure), notably the bi-annual Church Weekend. Expenditure was £382,614, which was £59,684 higher than the previous year because the latter year had staff vacancies and the current year included the bi-annual Church Weekend. Costs of administration and operation of the buildings were unchanged over all.

Kairos Coffee is primarily an outreach activity of the church which aims to breakeven and had a good year as it increased its sales income by £2,831 to £82,939 but produced a net deficit of £2,890 primarily because of extra National Insurance costs. The £6,000 salary costs of opening the space on Mondays for English lessons and other outreach activities is recharged to the General Fund mission budget. The raising of the VAT threshold to £90,000 leaves headroom for another year before VAT registration may be necessary.

The Ukraine Fund was established in 2022 and was initially focused upon providing the Moreton Road manse as a home for Ukrainian refugees but now focuses on other activities to support refugees such as the very popular English lessons. Donations towards this specific activity are accounted for in this restricted fund

The Mission Delivery Fund, effectively equates to the Richmond legacy (received in 2020-2021) has been to cover £30,000 of salary of the new Church Ministry Lead with a further £100,000 set aside for up to 3 years of the role. In additions, £13,128 was used to fund the capital cost of the regarde of the VDP system. The Church Trustees and Members continue to consider options for the use of the remaining funds.used this year.

At the end of the year total funds amounted to £3,208,765, the majority of which related to buildings and the Richmond legacy. The General Fund balance ended on £134,277, including net current assets (mainly cash) of £119,746.

For 2025/26 the budget for General Fund expenditure has been set at £376,000, which exceeds current levels of income by £47,000, This shortfall is principally the cost of the Church Ministry Lead position, which the appointing Church Meeting agreed could be funded by funds transferred from the Mission Delivery Fund for up to three years. In September 2025 the Church Meeting agreed to use an outsourcing service provider, costing £8,000 per annum, to undertake many of the finance processes - again this will be covered in its initial three years by transferring funds from the Mission Delivery Fund.

The detailed financial results, together with a summary of the accounting policies adopted, are set out in the accompanying financial statements.

Reserves

It is policy to maintain the unrestricted net current assets held by the general funds, which are the free reserves of the Church, at a level which takes into account variable general giving, future repair needs of the church and manses, and also meet the regulatory requirement to be able to fund an orderly closure of a charity. The Diaconate reviews reserves each year and resolved that the minimum free reserves should be £81,000 whilst the actual free reserves at 31 July 2025 amounted to £119,746. In addition, the designated Mission Delivery Fund, funded by a legacy of £558,000 (received or accrued over the last three years), has £218,000 not yet committed by the deacons.

Risk Management

The Diaconate annually reviews the major strategic, business and operational risks faced by the church. These mainly surround people visiting and using our open premises and to a lesser extent risks relating to employment. It is considered that systems are in place to monitor and manage these risks and to take necessary steps to mitigate them.

The Diaconate consider that the systems for monitoring budgets, approving payments, banking receipts, payroll and taxes provide robust controls. The medium term sources of funds have been reviewed and are considered stable.

Going Concern

The charity ended the year with unrestricted net current assets of £502,000, and the church is in a good position financially. After reviewing the charity's results in this new financial year and expectations for the next 12 months, the deacons confirm that they believe that the Church remains a 'going concern' for at least 12 months from the date of this report.

Partnerships

The Church is affiliated to the Baptist Union of Great Britain and paid subscriptions of £1,124 (2024: £1,058).

Trustees and Related Parties

No trustee expenses were paid. Payments to trustees in the course of their employment are included in Note 6 of the accounts. Donations by trustees and their close families are reported in Note 6.

Future Plans

The Church remains committed to its vision and objectives and the deacons regularly review activities and initiatives to enable the members to achieve their ambition without overstretching our capacity and capability.

Below are some of the future plans for the coming year:

• The staff team is established and settling well and the emphasis is leading and supporting their respective teams of

• volunteers for those ministries

• Continue Mission Partnerships, notably with BMS / India and growing the Albania link too

• Establish a plan for the use of the Mission Delivery (Legacy) Fund including building improvements

• Discuss the church finances and address areas of new giving

• We will seek to embed the vision of Worship (Upward focus on God), Welcome (Inward focus on community life)

• and Witness (Outward focus on the world in which we live and serve) - see below for more detail

Worship (UP)- Passion for God in everything we do (John 10:10 & Romans 12 :1-2 ). Jesus offers abundant life and everyone who follows Jesus does so through a lifestyle of worship. We seek to encourage and equip people to worship not only on Sunday but through whole life discipleship. Seeking God in personal and corporate prayer, being inspired through scripture and gathering together for encouragement and spiritual growth are some of the ways we worship.

Welcome (IN)- Passion for God's people, living in community (John 15:12-17 & Philippians 2 :1-11 ). Jesus is the Good Shepherd who is full of compassion and love. We seek to love God's people and this love knows no boundary. Everyone is valued, has worth and should discover acceptance and friendship. Pastoral care is about connection with all age groups, with generous hospitality and a warm welcome.

Witness (OUT) - Passion for God's world with a message of hope (John 20:21-22 & Acts 1 :8). Jesus sends us in the power of the Holy Spirit to be people of hope because of his death and resurrection. We seek to inspire the church to share the good news in a broken world. Everyone who follows Jesus, participates in God's mission of love, rescue and new life. This is both on our doorstep as we engage with all cultures and also beyond the UK as we partner with global mission workers.

• We will continue to develop the ongoing aspects of church life that includes the following:

Worship

o Continue to invest in the thirty- five people who serve as musicians and band leaders at our various services and encourage people to participate in worshipping God together.

o Grow the prayer life of the church providing various opportunities for people to engage in pray and deepen their life with God

• Reflect on the purpose of 'Dwell'

o Provide resourcing and training for all those serving in worship

o Encourage young people to participate more in church services

Welcome

o Continue to develop the Pastoral Support Team and communicate this with whole church.

o Explore ways to further enhance our welcome as a church. Special focus on developing our cross- cultural growth as a church community.

Witness

o As the Church Ministry Lead takes responsibility for more of church life, this will enable the Senior Minister to focus on encouraging the church to engage in mission locally and globally.

o Creating a culture where the church is a place of mission every day of the week and where people are equipped to be mission minded in their everyday contexts.

• Attention will be given to supporting and investing in the church staff team. Staff will benefit from retreat days, skills and character based training days and attending conferences. Look at the possibility of role titles and reflect on how they best describe the roles they do and how this fits in the overall developing strategy of Worship - Welcome - Witness
