Whitehill & Bordon
Charity Incorporated Organlsation (CIO) Registered Number: 1206846
Trustee5' Annual Report for Financial Year Ending 31" March 2025
Overview
Lifespring Church functions to provide a structure through which worship. pastoral.
evangelistic and social care can be provided, for its members, and for the wider community
of Vthitehill and Bordon and surrounding villages in Hampshire.
As laid out in the constitution. the trustees work together with the church elders to fulfil the
objectives of the church.
We also foster links of friendship with other churches Ixjth locally, in the UK, and abroad,
whom we seek to encourage through inviting and sending visiting speakers and also,
through financial support where we share similar goals. and as we are able.
Objectives and Activities
The Church seeks to encourage all people, regardless of age or nationality to develop their
own relationship wrth God. We seek to express our faith in a church seth'ng, through worship,
and the teaching and discussion of the Bible (scripture) and prayer. but also in the work-
place, encouraging excellence in all areas.
The Church also seeks to encourage all in opportunitjes to lead in various way. This might be
in a main Sunday gathering, or in a smaller horne seth'ng.
In line with the Commission's guidance on public benefft, and particularly the specific
guidance on charities for the advancemenl of religion, we provide occasions where we invite
the community to join us- Christrnas being our greatest opportunity. We have found, over
the years, that our Christmas Carol servi￿ has become a popular event with the wider
community.
The eldership of the church brings spiritual direclion, and vision, which provides the focus for
where, as a church we develop ministn'es. The last two years has seen the development of
our children's work. This was facilitated by employing a part-time worker (Bisi Kennard) with
a vision to see our children's ministy come into being and then conts'nue to develop.
Achievements and Performance
Worship
We meet each Sunday at the local Communty Centre for worship. This meeting largely
consists of two halves: a time of sung worship. with opportunity for individuals to share good
news. pray, read a ￿riptUre or othe￿iSe contribute. The second half is teaching from the
scriptures, with the children going to their own session, with some excellent age-appropriate
activities.

Prayer & Midweek meetings
Not having our own premises prayer and midweek meetings are held in homes. cUrren￿Y
three groups in different homes and on different days meet across the town each week,
meaning that at least one of the meetings will be relatively local to members.
Breakfasts
In addition, the church organises a men's breakfast and a separate ladies breakfast each
month. This has proved a great way to build relationship with those who are on the fringe of
the church, or are relatively new to the church.
Growth
Over the year we have seen a small but encouraging increase in those attending, and also
an encouraging diversity of nations represented.
Plans for the future
Looking ahead we hope to be able to take on another part-time employee to focus on the
youth of the area. This would be a pioneering work, as we are not aware of any other
churches in the town employing a Youth Worker.
We are also looking for a suitable prernises from which we can operate on a regular basis.
This might not need to be large enough for our Sunday meetings, but somewhere we can
run midweek teaching session. like Apha, or Maybe a toddler and carer group.
Financial Review
Total receipts for the year to end of March 2025 was £95,844.
Out of that the following gifts were made..
Monies were sent to Ukraine to help purchase medical equipment totalling £1,188.45
Monies were sent to Ukraine to help support children's work in Kiev totalling £504.99
Monies were donated to the local foodbank totalling £249.18
The two major operational costs were:
Salaries for David Berry (Pastor) and Bisi Kennard (Children and Families Worker)
£35,978.
Rentsl of the Community Centre was £8.535.30
Total operation costs We￿ 56,260, resultsng in a operats.onal surplus of £39,584.
Exception81 Incomes
This is our first year operating as an independent CIO. We were very grateful to Jubilee
Church Famham (under vthorn we previous operated) for their start-up donation of £15,127.
We are also very grateful to Commission Apostolic Trust Ltd, the group of churches that we
partner with, for their kind donation of £2500.
Exceptional costs
This year was also our first year as "Lrfespring Church", having previously been 'Jubilee
Church Whitehill & Bordon". This entailed some costs for rebranding, and cost for all the
necessary people receiving safeguarding training. through thirtyone:eight. This year

safeguarding training costs came to £837.40. We don't anticipate the costs being quite so
high on subsequent years.
Reserves Policy
Our aim is to maintain a balance of unrestricted funds which equate to Ihree months salaries,
plus another thousand to cover emergency situations. Thal roughty equates to £10,000.
The year ended with £39,744 in Ihe bank. so vrfell above the target.
Volunteers
We would like to thank all the many volunleers who give of their time and effort to make the
church such a welcoming and vibrant place to be. In particular the elders: Slava Nod and
Alan Matthews, the Life group leaders. the welcome, hospitalty and setup teams, and all
those who help with the children's work. Thank you too to all the trustees, but particularly
Jess Nod who does all of the accounts and looks after our finances so well.
