Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

Charity Law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Church (the charity) as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to: -

The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees' report, and the responsibility of the independent examiner in relation to the Trustees' Report is limited to

6

examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.

These Financial Statements were approved by the Trustees on 30 September 2025.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024

Accounting policies

  1. The accounts have been drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Charities Acts and include the results of the charity's operations which are described in the Trustees' Report, all of which are continuing.

  2. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (effective January 2016).

  3. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, and the charity is dependent on donation income and therefore the going concern is also dependent on continuing donation income.

  4. Incoming resources are accounted for on a receivable basis.

  5. Bank interest is included in the income and expenditure account on a receivable basis.

  6. Liabilities are recognised on the accruals basis in accordance with normal accounting principles, modified where necessary in accordance with the guidance given in the relevant Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales

  7. The policy for including items within the relevant activity categories of resources expended is to allocate costs to the most appropriate activity. In particular the policy for including items within costs of generating funds, charitable activities and governance costs is:

Costs of generating funds

The costs of raising and generating funds include the incidental costs of staging various events.

8

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure includes all expenditure directly related to the objects of the charity.

Governance costs

Governance costs include all expenditure directly related to the administration of the charity, organisational administration and compliance with charitable and statutory requirements.

  1. The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment.

  2. If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.

  3. 10.Neither the Trustees nor any persons connected with them have received any remuneration in the current year.

Reserves policy:

General:

The Trustees believe that the Church should hold sufficient balances on its general and other accounts to allow it to continue operating even if there was a significant reduction in the level of giving.

The Trustees consider that the minimum level of these balances should be the equivalent of 12 weeks’ operating costs calculated and reviewed annually – on the basis of expected spend in 2025 this will be in the order of £550. The Balance Sheet as at 31 December 2024 shows that the unrestricted balance on the General Fund stood at £1,191.

Statement of Public Benefit for the year ended 31 December 2024

As we are legally a “smaller charity” and below the audit threshold, we must include only a brief summary in our Annual Report of the main activities undertaken - you can find that in the main report.

As Trustees we confirm that we have had regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance, where relevant.

The Objects of the CIO – as set out in its Constitution – include:

A. Advancement of the Christian Faith

The promotion and dissemination of the Christian faith, in alignment with the CIO's statement of beliefs, within such regions of the United Kingdom or globally as determined by the Trustees from time to time.

B. Prevention and Relief of Poverty

The prevention and alleviation of poverty for the public benefit through the provision of financial support, goods, or services in areas within the United Kingdom or globally, as deemed appropriate by the Trustees.

C. Advancement of Education

The promotion of education for the benefit of the public, in alignment with the Charitable Incorporated Organisation 's (CIO) mission, within the United Kingdom or internationally, as the Trustees may determine.

1

D. Furtherance of Charitable Purposes

The pursuit of additional charitable objectives, as defined under English and Welsh law, including addressing social isolation among the elderly and encouraging good citizenship by helping individuals contribute positively to their communities as an expression of their faith.

We consider the above pass the “public benefit test” because advancing the Christian religion in our community has a positive impact on the moral and ethical behaviour of these with whom we come in contact.

Furthermore, our Christian faith and our relationship with God – as Father, Son and Holy Spirit - gives meaning to our lives and encourages us to live in such a way as to benefit the wider society by being good citizens and following the Bible’s teaching on how we should conduct ourselves in society.
