Trustees’ Annual Return
Name of Charity: RUDDINGTON BAPTIST CHURCH
Type of Charity: Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)
Charity registration number: 1204128
Address: 62 Musters Road, Ruddington, Nottinghamshire, NG11 6HW
Names of Trustees: Mark Andrew Bairstow (Treasurer) Christopher Greenhalgh Rosemary Ruth Molyneux Rachel Frances Elizabeth Third Anthony Whitton (Secretary) Trustees are elected from and by the church membership. Sarah Brooks stepped down as a Trustee in May 2024.
Governing Document: Church Constitution. Document 12901789-4 dated28/06/2022.
Purpose: The principal purpose of Ruddington Baptist Church is the advancement of the Christian faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination. The church may also advance education and carry out other charitable purposes in the United Kingdom and/or other parts of the world.
Activities:
In fulfilling the Purpose the Church will engage in a range of activities either on its own or with others that will vary from time to time with activities being initiated, expanded or closed, as appropriate.
The activities may include but are not restricted to:
-
regular public worship, prayer, Bible study, preaching and teaching;
-
baptism, as defined in the Baptist Union’s Declaration of Principle;
-
the Communion of the Lord’s Supper which shall normally be observed at least once a month;
-
evangelism and mission, locally, regionally, nationally and internationally;
-
the teaching, encouragement, welcome and inclusion of young people;
-
nurture and growth of Christian disciples;
-
education and training for Christian and community service;
-
giving and encouraging pastoral care;
-
supporting and encouraging charitable social action in the United Kingdom and abroad;
-
encouraging relationships with and supporting Baptists and other Christians.
The Trustees of Ruddington Baptist Church consider that they have complied with the duty to operate with regard to public benefit.
Achievements: During 2024 Ruddington Baptist Church (RBC) continued to function well, despite having no Minister. Services were held most Sundays. On those Sundays when we didn’t meet formally, we held our Community Sunday activities which included litter picking, cycle rides and indoor games. Housegroups met weekly or fortnightly except during the holidays. Renew Café and Renew Green Spaces met similarly, as did Nappuccinos (Rudd Community Award Winner for 2024), children’s and young peoples’ groups. RBC volunteers contributed to the First Steps Toddler Group and the Easter Story at St Peter’s school, as well as The Honeycomb Charity shop. Joint services were held with St Peter’s Church on Remembrance Sunday and Pentecost Sunday. Beer and Carols was
well supported and appreciated, as was Christmas wreath making. Due to being in a period of interregnum, we were able to support financially more charitable projects than in previous years, whilst adhering to our reserves policy.
The Charity Commission gave the go-ahead for RBC funds to be used alongside those of private investors to purchase a house for the pursuit of charitable aims.
Reserves Policy
The reserves policy of Ruddington Baptist Church is to hold between one and three months of all expenditure to allow the church to adapt to any changes in the income and expenditure of the church. The trustees will report back to members annually on the reserves position and if required, advise on any proposed actions to return the church to the agreed reserve limits. The policy will be reviewed every three years
If the trustees identify future significant committed funds or designated funds then they are excluded from the reserves calculation. All restricted funds would also be excluded because the church cannot use them on normal expenditure.
