All financial and strategic decisions over £1000 are taken by the trustees. The organisational implementation of the strategy is carried out by senior leadership and staff.
Trustee Training
All staff, volunteers and trustees undergo a formal recruiting and selection process, followed by an induction period that includes any training considered necessary to effectively perform their role.

Achievements and Performance
An Introduction from the Team Rector
Since moving to Portsmouth nearly two years ago, it has been so exciting to see all that God is doing in our community and across the city. It is such a privilege to lead and play our part in such a beautiful, vibrant and powerful community of faith. I want to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has played their part in the vision by the way they serve, pray and give.
We are one church across three locaUons in the City of Portsmouth. Our vision at Harbour Church is to play our part in:
The evangelisation of the nation The re-vitalisation of the church The transformation of society
Throughout 2024, God has exceeded our expectations in every way. We are celebrating new people finding a home at Harbour and people starting relationships with Jesus. We are celebrating that the church is growing and people are playing their part by joining groups or joining teams. We are celebrating that people in the city are being transformed by God’s love through us.
We are really looking forward to the coming year, as two new team vicars join our team to expand our work at our Copnor and City locations. We are excited to see how God uses and grows these new worshipping communities.
Lewis Dean Team Rector, Harbour Church Portsmouth
Sunday Services and Christmas
A 9.30am traditional service is held weekly all All Saints Church (City). The 10am service at St George’s (Gunwharf) is engaging with around 200 people every Sunday and our 6pm service, aimed at reaching those in the 18-30 age group, is currently attended by around 100 people each week. We also offer a livestream of our 10am service for those unable to attend in person. Our 4pm service at St Alban’s (Copnor) engages with young families, many of whom have never been to church before. Since September, the 4pm service has been running monthly, rather than weekly, and has seen lots of new families attending.

Throughout December, we ran a wide range of Christmas services which were attended by more than 1000 people. The services engaged with our regular worshipping community as well as many who do not have a faith. Highlights from the festive period included our Christmas Spectaculars (theatrical musical performance), a Carols by Candlelight service, Rowdy Carols (featuring contemporary Christmas songs and carols), a Crib service, Midnight Mass and Christmas Day services. This year we also ran a traditional Carol service at our City location for the first time.
Kids and Youth
The Harbour Kids team has continued to find ways to engage with families in the local community. Around 50 children attend Harbour Kids every Sunday morning. We also run a weekly Tots and Toddlers group at our Copnor location, which is attended by around 100 adults and children each week.
In September 2024, we recruited a new Head of Youth. It has been exciting to see the youth work continue to grow. As well as running a provision for younger youth on Sunday mornings, we have been hosting a weekly youth group for older youth on Wednesdays. These events regularly engage with around 40 young people each week.
Courses
We continued to run the Alpha course throughout 2024 with courses held every term, both in-person and online. 125 people attended the course. In October, we hosted ‘Tacos and Trivia’, an evening of food and quizzing designed to be an easy event for congregation to invite their friends to and hear about the Alpha course. 140 guests attended, many of whom were not church members.
We also ran the pre-marriage course for any couples in the church preparing for marriage.
Focus
Our annual weekend away with churches from across the HTB network took place in Newark in July and we took 150 people from our church community, as well as hosting campers from Haven Church Gosport and All Saints Ryde.
Ministry and Development Year (MDY)
We are passionate about seeing young leaders grow into their full potential, both spiritually and practically. We do this through the Ministry Development Year (MDY). In September 2024 we had 3 MDYers start the programme with focus on the areas of worship and production, kids, and communications ministries. As well as spending time in the week with individual teams, developing skills in specific areas, each MDYer had the opportunity to get involved in all areas of church life. In addition to individual one to one mentoring and spiritual direction throughout the year, there is a curriculum of teaching. This year we have partnered with both the national Ministry Experience Scheme (MES) as well as the New Wine Discipleship year (NWDY) and we gather together with others on the NWDY once a week to worship, learn and grow in our faith and understanding of our purpose as well as to
5
pray for one another. Everyone has the chance to develop skills that will be transferable into any future role in or out of church. The content of our weekly teaching came from both leaders within Harbour Church and across the diocese who are passionate in seeing young people draw closer to God and discern the call He has on their life. All the MDYers have an opportunity to live together in a shared house, which has been a great opportunity to form strong supporting Christian friendships for all. Our partnership with the New Wine Discipleship year has meant our MDYers have had the opportunity to attend various conferences across the country as well as two residentials with students from across the country.
Social Transformation
Our Love Your Neighbour team continued a strong programme of activities and intervention measures to provide care, support people in crisis and tackle causes of social inequality and deprivation.
Silva
Our Silva ministries, encompassing Spa 61, Haven and Vista have continued to grow and provide unique support and encouragement to women in the city. Our Silva projects have provided for women who face a range of barriers with access to support and safety measures.
Spa 61 provides a safe space for any woman in Portsmouth to experience kind, posiUve community through pamper events. It has conUnued to be popular with an average of 24 women booking in each month, oien with a waiUng list for pamper treatment slots. There is a strong sense of community with many women returning month by month and inviUng friends. Referrals were received from: St Mary’s Mental Health Dept., Society of St James (drug and alcohol service), Portsmouth Carers, Adult Social Care, Stop DomesUc Abuse, Portsmouth City of Sanctuary, ProbaUon and Vista. We offer prayer to each woman, as a clear ‘low pressure’ offer. Women have fed back that this has been greatly appreciated and conversaUons about faith in Jesus have increased. The team is also signposUng women to other services, both internally to Vista, Haven, Foodbank and Safe Harbour and also to external support in the city. The Community Inclusion Grant was awarded to us which helped to fund Spa 61.
Haven exists to provide opportuniUes for women who have experienced or are experiencing exploitaUon, gender abuse or women who have had extreme adverse experiences to discover connecUon with others in a safe, relaxed confidenUal space and to engage in a range of acUviUes. It runs weekly in termUme and welcomes 15-20 aXendees per week. Examples of the posiUve feedback (sought termly) is that 91% of aXendees have felt more posiUve since being at Haven and 87.5% said that they were feeling more connected to the community. The sense of community has grown with increased integraUon between women from different walks of life coming together to support one another. Haven is a partnership between Harbour Church (specifically Vista and Spa 61), Portsmouth City of Sanctuary and The Medaille Trust Moving on Project. As a result, it welcomes a high number of women who are seeking asylum in the UK and the partnership has given a growing number of
6
opportuniUes to work together outside of the group to provide high quality support to survivors of human trafficking, modern slavery and exploitaUon. It has been funded through grants from Love CiUes, The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Household Support Fund, the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Community Fund the Easy Access Travel Fund and CommuniUes Against Cancer.
Vista in 2024. We support women through outreach into 9 massage parlours, a strip club, netreach and phone contact and 1:1 support. The team offer prayer to women in the parlours and the strip club when it is welcome, and a registered RelaUonships Counsellor offers regular support as part of our strip club chaplaincy team. We now offer weekly online English lessons to 2 women working in local massage parlours and were able to support another woman away from exploitaUon in a massage parlour and into alternaUve employment. The dayUme 1:1 support is regular client-led keywork and we have had the privilege of seeing women encounter the love of God through these sessions, working with 20 women in 2024. We have signposted and supported engagement with a wide range of services, including: drug and alcohol; mental health and counselling; sexual health; maternity; housing; the NaUonal Referral Mechanism for survivors of human trafficking and modern-day slavery and more. Several women have aXended church, at Harbour and other local churches, some on a regular basis, encountering Jesus and discovering his love as they journey out of the sex industry and exploitaUon and into recovery, healing and alternaUve training, volunteering opportuniUes or employment. At the end of 2023 Vista expanded to Gosport and the Isle of Wight and in 2024 we have conUnued to partner with All Saints Ryde and Haven Church Gosport as the work grows in these places, with new connecUons and supporUve relaUonships developing all the Ume.
Safe Harbour Community Meal
Safe Harbour exists to see everyone in Portsmouth who needs a hot meal provided with one. We want to invest in meaningful relationships and meet people’s deep-seated need for personal, authentic connection. We treat everyone with dignity and love and signpost them onto other services when we can. In 2024 we have had the privilege of providing home cooked, two-course meals to 2,943 (averaging around 60 guests every week) equating to 3,628 meals served (an increase of 27% on 2023 meals served).
With a team of 28 volunteers (up from 18 in 2023) giving over 1,237 hours of their time to serve the community, demonstrating the love of Jesus. Six of our team were former guests that have signed up to volunteer for Safe Harbour and regularly attend to ‘give back’ for the kindness they have received.
Following a vision from some of our team to establish a Safe Harbour Connect group, we now have a gathering every fortnight after the meal, giving guests the opportunity to ask questions about Christianity and providing a stepping stone into the church community, which for some they may have felt so very far from! This is an exciting development and we are trusting Jesus’ plans for this community’s spiritual growth.

Food Bank plus more!
Our Food Bank runs in the hope of eradicating food poverty; wanting no one in the city to be going hungry. The team understand that there can be a “shame stigma” attached to using a Food Bank and aim to make people feel as comfortable as possible, showing love, restoring dignity, and encouraging those who enter through our doors. Continuing our partnership with Portsmouth Food Bank at Kings Church and under the Trussell Trust guidelines we have provided 2,895 individuals with food parcels (an 35% increase on 2023) equating to over 17,909 meals.
The team comprises 22 volunteers (up from 16 in 2023) giving over 1,986 hours of their time to serve the community, demonstrating the love of Jesus. Four of our team were previous food bank clients that have signed up to volunteer for Food Bank and regularly attend to ‘give back’ for the kindness they have received.
Recognising that those in food poverty may also be in hygiene and clothing poverty, in addition to food we have been able to provide our clients with toiletries, laundry detergent, feminine hygiene products and baby products and in 2024 provided these to 1,149 households (30% increase on 2023). We continue working with Portsmouth Baby Bank, Kids Clothes Line and adult clothing banks to provide over 250 clients with clothing and baby item (25% increase on 2023).
We want our Food Bank to be an environment of hospitality so we provide a free café where guests can get a hot drink, cake or savoury pastry. Volunteers are on hand to chat with guests and offer signposting to other support services. Advice Portsmouth continued regularly attending our sessions until June 2024 (stopping only due to funding ending) and had assisted 31 clients during that time. We have an advisor from the Employability Service (Salvation Army) attending Food Bank to advise clients on getting into work through training opportunities, CV writing and interview skills. We also have a team member whose background is in housing and benefit advice and can advise clients with their queries. A further 39 clients have been assisted up until the end of 2024 (70 in total).
Saturday Breakfast
The Saturday Breakfast team continue to provide breakfast rolls and hot drinks every Saturday, with once a month being a full English breakfast for anyone in need of hot food. We serve about 40 guests every week, equating to over 2,490 meals, and provide a welcoming space for those seeking community. With a team of 15 volunteers (up from 7 in 2023) giving over 753 hours of their time to serve breakfast to the community, demonstrating the love of Jesus.
Love Christmas
We delivered our Love Christmas project for the fifth year running and distributed over 1,000 boxes of chocolates and bags of kindness to the local community. 30 volunteers and 12 staff gave over 300 hours to this project so that those that may be feeling isolated or anxious could experience some joy and hope that Christmas promises.

Future Plans
We have secured Strategic Mission and Ministry (SMMI) funding from the Church of England, covering two new team vicar roles for our City and Copnor locations, as well as extensive refurbishment of the worship space at these two churches in 2025. This will enable us to plant new worshipping communities at these locations and therefore further our vision of playing our part in the evangelisation of the nation, the revitalisation of the church and the transformation of society in Portsmouth.
Financial Review
In the period to the end of December 2024 Harbour Church raised a total income of £793k (2023 £997k) against total expenditure of £753k (2023 £941k). Unrestricted funds ended the year on £116 up £27k on 2023. Restricted funds received were considerable and totalled £431 (2023 £655k) with a balance of £226k carried forward into 2025. The balance in the bank at the end of 2024 totalled £258k against £242k at the end of 2023.
Please see the financial statements following this report for the details behind these figures.
Reserves policy
It is the aim of the trustees to hold a balance of 3 months of unrestricted expenditure for free and unrestricted reserves, which would indicate a target on net current unrestricted assets of £85k. At the end of 2024 the balance on free reserves came to £110k representing nearly four months of unrestricted expenditure. The trustees are holding these unrestricted funds in reserve while working on the basis of a five-year plan which is forecasting a downturn in restricted funds from 2025 onwards.
Fundraising policy
Harbour Church receives a large proportion of its donations from its congregation. However, we occasionally approach other organisations and grant-makers to assist with special projects. The trustees are committed to maintaining the highest legal and ethical standards in the way the charity undertakes its fundraising activities. All fundraising takes place inhouse, and the charity does not use any third-party fundraisers.
Risk management
Risk management is led by the PCC and key management staff, with risks and subsequent strategies being continually developed to meet the needs of the charity.
Risk awareness is carried out on a day-to-day basis by the clergy team and staff who raise issues to the trustees during bi-monthly PCC meetings. Strategies for managing risks are discussed and agreed during PCC meetings, meetings of the Finance Committee and senior leadership meetings among the staff team. Major risks as identified through the risk assessments are reviewed regularly at PCC and Finance Committee meetings.
9
A risk register is reviewed by our senior leadership and is updated at least annually. Where appropriate, systems and procedures have been established to mitigate the risks that the charity faces. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers and visitors. The schedule of major risks and uncertainties identified by the PCC is set out on page 11.
Safeguarding
The PCC have adopted the Diocese of Portsmouth’s safeguarding policy relating to children, young people and vulnerable people and Sue Donald continues as the Safeguarding Officer. Sue Donald has completed the Diocese’s online training courses in safeguarding young people and vulnerable adults.
The members of the PCC are committed to the principles of best practice in relation to safeguarding and comply with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 in respect of having due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. The guidance can be read in full on the Church of England official website.
Statement of responsibilities of the Parochial Church Council
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare a statement of financial activities and statement of assets and liabilities for each financial year, which gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the church and of its financial activities for that year and adequately distinguishes any material special trust or other restricted fund of the church. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the appropriate SORP on Accounting by Charities and the Accounting Regulations and with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the church will continue to operate.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the church, and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable Accounting Standards and Statements of Recommended Practice and the regulations made under the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the church and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Major Risks and Uncertainties
| Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| Harbour Church Portsmouth fails to act with integrity or in the best interests of those it serves. |
Vision and values are clearly defined and integrated into the running of the organisation. All staff and volunteers regularly engage with the charity’s vision and values. |
| Inadequate plans for succession in relation to key roles jeopardise the future of the organisation. |
The Churchwardens are elected annually and carry the responsibility along with the Bishop to ensure appropriate clergyroles are fulfilled. |
| Harbour Church is not managed properly resulting in poor decision making, lack of compliance and reputational damage. |
We are accountable to Portsmouth Diocese where a good relationship is fostered. We are also accountable within the HTB network to other churches and leaders. As well as providing accountability, these connections offer the valuable opportunity to seek advice and support. The PCC and Finance Committee meet regularly to ensure the objectives of the charity are being met with appropriate strategies andpersonnel. |
| Information or communications technology compromised, or critical data lost through cyber-attack. |
All staff IT accounts are managed by an IT firm with appropriate safeguards in place to back up data and prevent the spread of malware. Not all staff have managed devices which presents a degree of risk. As funding becomes available, we aim for all staff to be provided with managed devices. |
| Exposure to financial penalties and reputational damage due to data protection breaches, or due to other legal matters, third-party rights issues, or regulatorynoncompliance. |
Operational staff are aware of the risks and manage regulatory compliance. There is onboarding training for all staff. Appropriate levels of insurance are in place for indemnity and liability coverage. |
| Lack of sufficient income and/or inadequate cashflow results in an inability to meet salary and creditor payments. |
The Finance Committee meet bi-monthly to review cashflow projections and management accounts. Forward planning exists in the form of a 5-year plan to manage long term fluctuations in funding. Recommendations and updates are feedback to the trustees every PCC meeting. 3 months of operational reserves are held. |
| Safeguarding incidents take place or non-compliance in policy risks harm to individuals and reputational damage. |
Harbour Church Portsmouth has a clear Safeguarding policy which is reviewed by trustees at least annually. Each church location has dedicated safeguarding leads. Staff and volunteers and trained appropriatelyon an ongoingbasis. |

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Harbour Church meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
The trustees consider that Harbour Church is a going concern and have accordingly prepared the accounts under the historical basis of accounting.
Cash flow forecasts have been prepared for the period to the end of 2025 and these indicate that Harbour Church will be able to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months. The trustees will be reviewing these forecasts on a regular basis throughout 2025. Therefore, the trustees believe that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts as a going concern.
Funds
General funds represent the funds of the charity that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use. On 8th July 2022 a Mission and Pastoral Measure was passed to unite the parishes of All Saints, Saint Albans and Saint George’s into a united benefice. The new parish is governed by the Parochial Church Council of Harbour Church Portsmouth, which removes the need for running the Charitable Incorporated Organisation of Harbour Church Portsmouth. The assets of the CIO were transferred to the PCC as at the 1[st] January 2024. The PCC is a registered charity number 1202572.
Income
Voluntary income and capital sources
Donations and other income are recognised when received and an estimate of income tax recoverable is recognised when the related donations are recognised.
Grants and legacies to Harbour Church are accounted for as soon as the church is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the church is probable.
Church activities
Fixed assets
Only items costing £500 or above are capitalised. All IT equipment is written off over 3 years on a straight line basis.
All other equipment including sound equipment and fixtures and fittings is written off on a straight line basis over 5 years.
Additions and improvements to the rented church premises are written off as incurred.
Current assets

Amounts owing to the church at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectable.
