Structure, Governance and Management
Trustees are appointed in accordance with the provisions of the charity’s constitution. The trustees during the period were Mark Holdcroft (Chair), Elizabeth Holdcroft, Marianne Palin, and Kristian Thorpe. In July, following appropriate due process, Christopher Steele was appointed as a trustee, increasing the board to five members. An additional trustee appointment had been planned; however, the candidate was not considered suitable, and the process to recruit a further trustee remains ongoing. The trustees are supported by sub-committees responsible for remuneration and oversight of the Mission Fund.
The day-to-day running of the charity is overseen by the Senior Pastors, supported by a pastoral team and ministry leads. The trustees provide strategic oversight and ensure the charity meets its legal and financial responsibilities. The leadership structure is reviewed periodically to ensure it remains effective and fit for purpose.

Achievements & Performance
Vision
We have continued in 2025 to hold to the Vision of being a Missional Church with a Missional Culture, Missional locations and a Missions School. We have also held to the values that guide us on that journey: Constantly Seeking, Mutually Honouring and Extravagantly Blessing, regularly mentioning them, teaching into them and modelling them.
Campuses
In 2025, our newly launched Chell Campus continued to meet weekly on Sundays, with 20–30 people attending, alongside regular midweek prayer meetings. In June the campus ran an Alpha course open to both Biddulph and Chell, welcoming around 20 participants—our highest Alpha attendance to date. During the summer, Pastor Mark and Liz stepped into leading the campus alongside the core team, and the campus has navigated this transition well. The campus continues to build relationships within the community, with new people attending most Sundays.
At our Biddulph Campus, the leadership team has continued to develop, with several individuals stepping into new and expanded roles. Our welcome and refreshment teams were brought together under new leadership and are now operating effectively, and a pastoral team was established to strengthen congregational care. Throughout the year, we have seen people of all ages coming to faith and being baptised, alongside growth in our volunteer base.
Alongside Sunday services, we have maintained a wide range of midweek gatherings for different age groups and small groups, including those focused on prayer, craft, and discipleship.
In May, both campuses came together for a weekend away at Cloverley Hall. This marked our third visit to the venue and our first time attending as two campuses together. We experienced record attendance, and the weekend was a valuable opportunity to deepen relationships across the church community.
Mission
Mission trips abroad and local missions form part of the charity’s approach to discipleship, enabling participants to apply learning in practical mission contexts.
During 2025, the charity sent and supported two overseas mission teams from within the church community. A team of church members undertook a mission trip to Budapest, working alongside local mission partners to deliver outreach activities, including evangelism, drama, and the sharing of personal testimonies. In addition, a family from the church was sent to Vienna to support a church member serving on a short-term overseas mission placement, who returned to the church in July.
The charity also engaged in local mission activities in Biddulph and Chell. A visiting evangelist provided training for church members, which was followed by organised community outreach activity.
The charity continued to support its regular overseas mission partners. In accordance with its policy, 10% of all tithes and offerings were allocated to the Mission Fund. The charity also hosted visits from several mission partners during the year, during which additional designated offerings were received to support their ongoing work. Income from special offerings was lower than in the previous year, reflecting the absence of a significant one-off appeal in the prior year in response to the situation in Ukraine.
Mission School
Our Missions School is an important part of discipleship, equipping the church for service. This year we ran ‘Life Stream 101’ which serves as an introduction to our church, it’s vision and values. As part of the 101 series we ran Alpha for the second time. In our Sunday services, as part of wider discipleship, we took the whole church through our ‘Foundations’ teaching.
3
In September we had a new intake of leaders to our 301 discipleship pathway. We also saw several of our younger leaders complete the preaching course giving them valuable skills to read, study, understand and teach the word effectively.
Fundraising Activities
In 2024, the charity launched the ‘Vision 25 for 25’ fundraising campaign, with the objective of raising £25,000 by 2025. The campaign was established to support the development of a proposed second campus and to fund essential works to address heating issues in the Coffee House, including preparing the premises for use as a public Coffee House.
During 2024, the campaign raised £12,096.29. The fundraising period was extended until March 2025, resulting in total funds raised of £15,788.87. The funds raised were allocated equally between the two designated projects.
In support of its mission work, the charity organised a fundraising event for a mission trip to Budapest. This took the form of a quiz night and raffle. The funds raised were used to help cover the team members’ expenses and to support the local community where the mission took place.
Property and Facilities
In February, building works were carried out in the Coffee House and Main Hall to address longstanding heating issues. The works included insulating the external walls of the Coffee House and installing new high-capacity radiators in both the Coffee House and Main Hall. These works were funded primarily through the ‘Vision 25 for 25’ campaign, with additional funding drawn from the General Fund to cover the shortfall.
Several minor building repairs were also carried out: lighting in the Hub, repair to the leaking roof over the foyer, replacement of garage roof tiles. The Pastor’s office also had a minor refurb.
Financial Review
Financial Position
The financial statements show the charity’s financial position at the end of the reporting period. The trustees have monitored income and expenditure throughout the year and consider the charity to be a going concern.
Reserves Policy
In April, the trustees reviewed the charity’s Reserves Policy and concluded that it was no longer fit for purpose. A revised policy was approved and implemented on 28 April. At the end of the reporting period, the charity held a reserves deficit of £6,576.22. The trustees are aware of this position and are taking appropriate steps to reduce the deficit in line with the revised policy.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The trustees have considered the main risks and uncertainties that may affect the charity’s ability to deliver its charitable objectives. The trustees keep such matters under review and seek to respond appropriately as part of their ongoing governance and oversight of the charity.
Plans for Future Periods
The trustees intend to continue the charity’s activities in line with its charitable objectives. Priorities for the coming year include supporting ongoing mission partnerships, strengthening discipleship and pastoral care, and maintaining financial sustainability.
Statement of Trustees’ 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).
4
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 charity’s financial position and activities. In preparing these statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011.
Trustees’ Declaration
The trustees confirm that they have approved the Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Signed on behalf of the trustees:
Mark Holdcroft
