**Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements of Sutton HongKongers’ Church For the Year Ended 31[st] August 2025 Registered Charity No.: 1203464**
**1**
## **Report of the trustees for the year ended 31[st] August 2025**
## **Aim and Purposes**
Sutton HongKongers’ Church (SHKC) is committed to advancing the Christian religion in and around Sutton for the benefit of the public, primarily, though not exclusively, for new Hong Kong migrants and their surrounding communities.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The vision for SHKC is to fulfil God’s calling by becoming a vibrant Christian community that loves God with one accord, shines and inspires others, and makes impact through four key areas:
- 1) Worship - We seek to manifest the love of the triune God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - through regular public worship, prayers, preaching, testimonies, singing, thanksgiving, and financial contributions. Our worship reflects our love for God and His teachings.
- 2) Discipleship - We aim to lead and equip our congregation in a deeper understanding of their faith by following Jesus Christ. Through Bible study, Sunday school, teaching, training and spirituality, we foster Christian characters that enable individuals to relate to God and to one another in Christ’s love, both individually and collectively.
- 3) Ministry - We focus on learning to serve one another and God’s creation with mutual love and respect, thereby building up the body of Christ for the benefit of the world.
- 4) Mission - We are committed to sharing and advancing the good news of Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
These elements shape the Christian way of living for everyone involved in the community.
In planning its activities for the year, SHKC has had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.

## **Achievements and Performance**
Over the past year, SHKC has sustained a rich pattern of bilingual Sunday worship services, intentional discipleship, and outward-focused community engagement, fulfilling its charitable objects for the public benefit. Weekly services have remained the spiritual heartbeat of the congregation, complemented by special events and seasonal celebrations that were warmly received by both church members and the local neighbourhood.
Discipleship has been strengthened through twelve thriving small groups, enhanced leader training, and structured children’s and youth programmes that have nurtured faith, friendships, and leadership across the generations. Outreach initiatives— including weekly Tai Chi and badminton sessions, guided hikes, environmental volunteering, cultural festival participation, and visits to elderly residents—have extended practical care and wellbeing support throughout Sutton, while effective pastoral care has enabled newcomers to settle confidently into church life. These achievements reflect a vibrant, inclusive community committed to spiritual growth and active service in the wider locality.
## _**Worship**_
- Weekly Sunday worship services have been conducted with full audiovisual support and followed a structured order of service, encompassing praise and worship, scripture reading, sermon, intercessory prayers, offering, notices, closing hymns, and benediction. Services have incorporated worship songs in Cantonese, Mandarin and English to reflect the linguistic diversity of the congregation.
- In February 2025, Minister Andrew Chu, a widely respected Christian songwriter, was invited to provide worship training and to lead a Sunday service, which was warmly received by the congregation, worship leaders and the worship team.
- The Christmas Carol Service held in December 2024 at Sutton Baptist Church attracted over 100 participants from the congregation and local neighbourhood, who enjoyed singing traditional Christmas songs celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
## _**Discipleship and Fellowship**_
- Through regular dialogue, small group leaders have clearly recognised their pastoral responsibilities in caring for group members, leading Bible study and promoting spiritual development.
- Monthly leaders’ meetings have fostered stronger relationships, enhanced teamwork, and provided training in both spiritual leadership and practical ministry skills.
- Building on the previous year’s initiative, two further training sessions were organised and well received by existing and prospective small group leaders.
**6**
- Twelve small groups are now in place, with the majority of the congregation participating in monthly gatherings. These groups focus on in-depth Bible study, pastoral care and support, shared faith journeys, and the practical application of the Church’s four guiding principles - worshipping God, growing as disciples, serving others, and proclaiming the gospel – equipping members to live as committed Christians who contribute meaningfully to the wider community.
## _**Children’s Ministry**_
- Regular Sunday gatherings and group activities have created an inclusive and supportive environment where lasting friendships continue to flourish. Feedback from children and observations by tutors have confirmed that these sessions provide a safe and welcoming space for sharing faith journeys and personal experiences.
- Children have shown considerable enthusiasm and joy at special events including the Gospel Magic Show and choir performances, which were well-attended and received highly positive feedback from both participants and their families.
- Children’s participation in wider church services and events has remained strong and consistent, while an increasing number of congregation members have volunteered to support the ministry through organising activities and assuming leadership responsibilities.
## _**Youth Ministry**_
- Through structured weekly sessions and the systematic use of the _Energize_ curriculum, young people have progressed from foundational to deeper levels of understanding and commitment in the Christian faith.
- Bi-monthly singing group rehearsals have equipped youth to lead worship and serve through music, while strengthening teamwork and musical skills.
- Weekly fellowship gatherings, complemented by informal board game activities, have successfully fostered strong peer relationships and a supportive community among the youth.
- Throughout the year, the youth have actively engaged in the Church’s events, such as charity sales, and community service activities, such as litter collection in local parks. These experiences have significantly enhanced their sense of belonging within both the Church and the wider community.
## _**Outreach and Community Engagement**_
- Throughout the year, weekly Tai Chi sessions were delivered to promote physical and mental wellbeing across the Sutton community.
**7**
- Weekly badminton sessions open to the public were offered, fostering physical fitness, social interaction, and mental wellbeing within the local area.
- A six-month programme of monthly guided hiking outreach was organised, providing opportunities for local residents with outdoor exercise as well as enhanced wellbeing.
- Monthly volunteer support was provided at Seears Park, contributing to environmental protection and the upkeep of a valued local amenity.
- The Church took an active part in Sutton’s Chinese New Year festival celebrations, reinforcing cultural ties and raising its profile within the broader community.
- Gift donations were collected and carol singing visits arranged to the MHA elderly care centre, offering companionship and bringing seasonal joy to residents.
## _**Pastoral Care**_
- Through post-service conversations and monthly newcomers’ gathering, individuals new to the Church have felt welcomed and have gained a clear understanding of its vision and values, enabling them to make informed decisions about continued involvement in the Church community.
- Regular fellowship and training within the pastoral care team have equipping members to communicate effectively with newcomers while maintaining safeguarding and personal boundaries.
- To date, approximately 13 newcomers have successfully transitioned into small groups and are now actively enjoying the benefits of small group life.

## **Financial Review**
In the financial year 2024-25, total receipts on unrestricted funds were £129,650, of which £1,056 was bank interest income. A total of £89,352 was spent to support worship and other activities, with the primary expenses being venue hire and pastor stipends. Restricted funds of £6,296 received, which included £4,213 from Sutton Community Fund. It covered the costs for badminton and Tai Chi classes.
We are pleased to report that donations from the congregation nearly covered total expenditures.
Looking ahead, the year-end balance of £114,951 is carried forward to the next year, which will be allocated towards additional pastoral resources and anticipated increase in expenditure for future church activities.
## **Reserve Policy**
It is SHKC policy to maintain a balance in unrestricted funds (if possible) that equates to at least three months unrestricted payments, amounting to £30,000. This reserve is intended to cover any emergency situations that may arise. The year-end balance of £114,951 in unrestricted funds exceeds this target.
## **Volunteers**
We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the volunteers whose dedication and hard work contribute to the lively and vibrant community of SHKC. Over the past year, our volunteers have dedicated over 6,240 hours of service, valued at a minimum of £76,190.
A special thanks goes to our small group leaders and conveners of the missionary groups, whose tireless efforts enrich our ministries. We also appreciate Mr Kin Bong Kenneth Tong, our Treasurer, for his invaluable assistance in helping us understand the church’s accounts and finances. We acknowledge members of the congregation for their significant contributions in keeping the church thriving.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The procedures for admitting new members and appointing trustees of SHKC are outlined in our Constitution. SHKC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern, including the approval of financial budgets. The trustees manage the affairs of SHKC, drawing on their unique knowledge or experience to fulfil their roles. Each member and trustee is obligated to exercise their powers in good faith, ensuring their actions align with the objectives of SHKC.
To address its diverse responsibilities, SHKC has established several missionary groups, each focusing a specific aspect of ministry. These groups - encompassing worship, discipleship, children, youth, pastoral care, and outreach and community engagement - are accountable to SHKC and provide regular updates on their
**9**
activities and progress. This structure ensures that all efforts align with the church’s mission and objectives, fostering a collaborative environment for ministry work.

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Under the law governing charities in England and Wales, the trustees must prepare financial statements each year that provide a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity, including its incoming resources and the application of those resources. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- Observe the methods and principles outlined in the applicable Charities SORP;
- Make reasonable and prudent judgements and estimates;
- State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, disclosing any material departures in the financial statements;

They are also responsible for safeguarding the charity’s assets and take reasonable steps to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees and Members of Sutton HongKongers’ Church**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Sutton HongKongers’ Church for the year ended 31[st] August 2025.
## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report**
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees and Members of Sutton HongKongers’ Church**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Sutton HongKongers’ Church for the year ended 31[st] August 2025.
## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report**
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
