Edge Ministries Report - Year ending 31 March 2025
## **Organisation of the charity**
The charity is governed by a trust deed 23 September 1964, amended 28 March 2008, 15 November 2019, 24 August 2022 and 6 September 2022. The running of the charity is overseen by a board of trustees. The trustees meet two to three times each year to oversee the ministry and staff. In between trustees' meetings, the Chief Executive Officer meets regularly with the Chairman of Trustees. Edge Ministries aims to have at least three trustees who together bring to the board a selection of competencies such as evangelism, accountancy, human resources and management. The chairman is elected every year at the AGM, and trustees serve for a three-year term, when they may be re-elected by other trustees.
Arrangements for setting pay and remuneration of key management personnel rest with the board of trustees.
The trustees and executive staff manage the charity's finances through a rigorous budgeting and monitoring process. This process begins with the annual budget, which is approved by the trustees, which is then monitored against actual outcome on a continual basis and at the regular management meetings with the Chairman.
Mr Carl Beech stepped out of the role as CEO into an advisory contractor in August 2024 due to health conditions and Miss Karen Tullett took over the role of CEO from September 2024. Mr Beech resigned completely from any work related to Edge Ministries in February 2025.
## **Review of the year**
The accounts show a deficit as expected by the trustees, donations have declined over the year as a result of challenging times in the community. The trustees are currently working on creating a sustainable framework to the support the activities of the Charity.
The deficit for the year was compounded by the exceptional item disclosed in note 16. As part of the Charity’s integration into the finance team at Staveley, the team and trustees identified a historic credit card balance of £15,122. The balance was confirmed as irrecoverable and has been written off.
## **Fundraising Practices**
The charity employs a part time Fundraiser to research and submit grant and trust fund applications on its behalf. An annual Christmas appeal is also made. Edge Ministries has always been blessed by multiple regular generous gifts from individuals and churches.
## **Public Benefit**
The trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
## **Reserves policy**
The trustees policy is to aim to retain sufficient cash and liquid assets to meet commitments in case the charitable company ceases to operate. Wherever possible we would consider this to be 2 months salaries and overheads.
## **Investment policy**
There are no specific restrictions on the trustees' investment powers. The charity has no long-term investments or endowments. Cash surplus to monthly requirements is held in two savings accounts.

Edge Ministries Report - Year ending 31 March 2025
## **Risk analysis**
Risk management is the process of making and carrying out decisions that will minimise the adverse effect of accidental losses upon the charity. The risk management process is vital to the personal health and safety of employees and the safety of the public. In financial terms, it is vital to our ability to pursue our goals, commence and operate programs and events, and to work out our charitable aim in an efficient and professional manner.
The trustees of The Edge Ministries have put in place a risk management strategy to pursue our risk management goals and objectives. These goals and objectives include:
1. Avoiding exposure to accidental loss by not undertaking events, contracts, or activities where the potential loss is greater than the potential benefit to be derived from these undertakings,
2. Preventing loss by identifying potential loss exposures and implementing policies and procedures to reduce the risk of these losses occurring,
3. Controlling losses that do occur by:
- a. Developing contingency plans for possible loss scenarios
- b. Proper documentation and investigation of losses
4. Raising the awareness of all Trustee board members, employees, and volunteers concerning risk management within The Edge Ministries.
- These goals and objectives will be accomplished by:
- a. Establishing a Risk Management Committee led by the Chief Executive Officer, whose responsibilities will be to implement, monitor, evaluate and revise plans to achieve our goals and objectives,
- b. Financial risk management to be monitored on a continual basis by the executive staff and any risks forthcoming to be reported to the chairman of the trustees at the regular meetings with the executive staff,
- c. Risk management is a standing item for discussion at each trustee meeting
5. Cooperation is needed from all Trustees, employees and volunteers. Only by working as a team with common goals and objectives can we ensure the success of this risk management strategy and its part in working out our aims and vision.
## **Trustees responsibilities**
The trustees are responsible for preparing financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom generally accepted accounting practice.
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under charity law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently,
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent,
Prepare financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Reaching Forgotten people in forgotten places**
Edge Ministries is an evangelical Christian mission focused on providing hope and help for all in forgotten places. We do this in several ways:
## **The Edge Faith Community**
In Chesterfield, at the heart of the UK, we have established our Edge Faith Community, missionaries committed to sharing Jesus, serving the poor, and living to a set of simple Christ centred values and rhythms including daily prayer, weekly communion or bible study, and monthly worship. Together we commit to eating together regularly, serving our wider community, following a simple rule of life called ‘Stuff we do’ and keeping one day a week set apart as holy. We operate ‘open living rooms’ in each centre as a place of welcome and hospitality. Everything we do points towards giving people a place to belong and a purpose for their life- things we ultimately find in the person of Jesus Christ, we find our identity when we belong, and we realise our potential when we find our purpose. This is our ‘church’ community, dispersed across three sites in Chesterfield.
## **Edge Centres**
These are rescue centres that are manned by a team of local volunteers, alongside expert help from our associates to provide all manner of help, hope and interventions. Offering drop-in community cafes, a food pantry, housing, benefits and debt advice, school uniform events, toddler / youth groups, community support groups and more. Each Edge Centre offers a warm, non-judgmental welcome to all, regardless of gender, race, or religion in the local community. Every service provided inside an Edge Centre is completely free of charge, all the time. Except the Food Pantry which incurs a small charge because it gives dignity and provides autonomy of choice.
## **Evangelism**
As a ministry we are completely committed to evangelism and outreach. The teams at each Edge Centre are passionate about sharing their faith in a friendly and non-judgmental manner.
## **Mission partnerships and Alliances**
We work closely with many national and local mission agencies to power the Edge Centres and projects within the Edge Community.
## **Churches and Edge Faith Community hubs**
We have a small network of churches and leaders across the country, who mutually support, encourage, and pray for each other. They all have a heart for the poor and are working in acutely deprived communities. We also work with a small number of churches to help them get on the front foot of mission or help them through difficult seasons.
## **Staff**
The staff team comprises of part time staff, both on payroll and contractors. In the reporting period there was one new part time role established for a Chesterfield Area Advice Worker, working across all three Chesterfield Edge centres, providing advice as required (including benefits, housing, support services). And one staff member moved on from the organisation, this was the former CEO as outlined on page 8.

##
This year has seen continued growth across our main hub in Chesterfield, and the growth of services provided from the Edge Centre’s - of particular note has been the employment of our in-house advisor across all three centres, and the transition of the Foodbank to a Food Pantry.
An opportunity to host a drop in Community café at Duckmanton Methodist church arose, and after receiving a grant from the local Council, a café was established on a Monday morning. This was maintained for 12 months, but sadly numbers were not sufficient to warrant the team outlay and this project was ended early in the next reporting period. The Church has since closed as a Methodist worshipping community.
## **Chesterfield**
## **Staveley**
Edge continues to operate from leased offices in Staveley Methodist Church. Discussions continue regarding a 10-year lease on the building, allowing us to expand our projects and services to the community. The office space is shared with our partner organisation Christian Vison for Men (CVM). The Edge Centre also operates out of the building, with all projects and services free to all visitors. Strong links continue with the local council, health providers and various other local agencies and support groups.
Numbers attending projects / community groups at Staveley increased across the board during the reporting period.
During the reporting period the following projects operated from the Staveley Edge Centre:
- Community café with advice service, numbers attending the café are 30 – 35 weekly.
- Communion meal. Around 25 – 30 now attend the Communion meals on a regular basis.
- Food Pantry. The foodbank transferred to a Food Pantry model in May 2024. This is a membership model. With over 80 members, who pay £5 for a weekly shop of an average value of £18 it is proving to be popular and well supported project.
- Community garden project, with a regular team of 8 volunteers, the garden now provides fresh vegetables to the Food pantry and for Communion meals. A section has been allocated to the local Nursery.
- Bingo. 25-30 older people attend this social time weekly.
- Youth Club. A monthly club for school years 6-9, with an average of 35 young people attending.
- Little Stars toddler group. Weekly group with average of 25 children present.
- Bike Workshop. Working in partnership with Stand To (local veterans support group) and Peak Performance (addiction recovery) a bike workshop was established in the basement. The vision is to repair bikes for the local community and offer courses on bike maintenance.
- Pre-loved school uniform. Uniform ‘events’ held three times a year, and also available in emergencies on a one-to-one basis as required outside of these main events.
- A free Christmas event with craft, inflatables, face painting and hot dogs was held in partnership with a local Community Group with over 200 children meeting Santa!
## **Tupton**
The Tupton Edge Centre has not seen the growth experienced at the other centres, but those who regularly attend the centre have built a warm and welcoming community. Tupton is regularly used for prayer and worship nights within the wider Edge Faith Community.
The following projects were operating from the Tupton Edge Centre in the reporting period:
- Community Café, with advice service and an average of 15 weekly.
- Little Stars toddler group with an average of 16 children weekly
- Communion meal with an average of 15.
- Preloved school uniform event, 3 times annually.

Edge Ministries Report - Year ending 31 March 2025
## **Holme Hall**
Numbers of people from the local community attending Holme Hall Edge Centre have steadily grown over the reporting period – particularly evident at the community cafe. The Wednesday morning open living room / warm welcome was followed by several folk remaining behind to watch the TV series ‘The Chosen’ about Jesus’ life. This led to many faith discussions.
The following projects were operating in the reporting period:
- Community Café, with advice service and an average attendance of 25 weekly.
- Weds warm welcome / open living room.
- Little Stars toddler group with an average of 24 children weekly
- Communion meal with an average of 25.
- Our Community Soul Choir in partnership with The Big Sing meets weekly with an average of 15 singers. The choir were also involved in a national get together during the reporting period.
## **Town wide**
The three centres and communities operate as one Edge Faith Community, coming together regularly to worship, eat together and socialise. This includes monthly worship evenings and quarterly communion meals (‘Feastivals’). An ‘Edge Presents’ outreach evening was held in October with 80 people from across the EFC coming together for a Comedy Evening with Tony Vino including a gospel message.
## **Edge Centres**
During the reporting period in addition to the centres in Chesterfield there were two additional independent Edge Centres operating in Darlington, and Jordonthorpe.
In February 2025 the Edge Staff team hosted a thank you evening to celebrate our volunteers in the form of an awards ceremony. 69 people enjoyed a full roast chicken dinner freshly cooked on site by the team, complete with stuffing and all the trimmings, followed by cheesecake with a raspberry coulis. Then the hosts highlighted every project one by one from across the three Chesterfield Edge Centres awarding a special trophy to one volunteer per project, as well as all volunteers receiving a medal of thanks, and one award for ‘outstanding volunteer of the year’ across the whole community. This was a great evening of unity across the centres with much laughter and fun together.
## **Summary**
Edge Ministries operates in a challenging financial space, fully reliant on grants and gifts. The Trustees are thankful to God for the financial support from individuals, churches, and trust fund grants that have enabled the work to continue over the reporting period.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 7 to 16.
## **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 charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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**
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
- the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- the accounts do 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.

##
## **1. Accounting policies**
## **a. Basis of accounting**
The Edge Ministries is a charity registered in England, governed by a trust deed dated . In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 3 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are disclosed on page 2.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
## **b. Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
## **c. Critical judgements**
The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.
## **Depreciation**
The trustees review depreciation rates and useful lives of the tangible fixed assets on an annual basis to ensure the effects of usage, wear and tear or technical obsolescence are reflected in the carrying value of the asset.
## **Impairment**
The trustees review fixed assets for indications of impairment in conjunction with review of depreciation above. The charity has policies in place to review assets on an ongoing basis.
## **d. Going concern**
These financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The trustees have considered the level of cash, current assets held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements and reinforce decision making with forecasting, making allowance for all available information.
The trustees consider that the Charitys main activities are underpinned adequately by donations and income from Charitable actvities. After careful consideration and evaluation of current management information and forecasts they continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation.
## **e. Financial instruments**
## **Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year**
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses.
## **f. Income**
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
Fixed asset gifts in kind are recognised when receivable and are included at fair value. They are not deferred over the life of the asset.
Page 18 of 28
Edge Ministries Report - Year ending 31 March 2025
## **1. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **f. Income (continued)**
Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.
Legacies are accounted for when notified. Income tax recoverable on gifts received is recognised in the period when the gift is received.
## **g. Investment assets and the income arising**
Investment income is treated as income when received.
## **h. Expenditure recognition**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
## **i. Fund raising**
Fund-raising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities
## **k. Tangible fixed assets**
Fixed assets are recognised at cost.
Depreciation is charged on fixtures and fittings at a rate of 20% per annum.
Land and buildings were introduced at valuation for insurance purposes.
## **l. Stock**
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price.
## **m. Funds accounting**
Funds held by the charity are:
(a) Unrestricted general funds - these funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.
(b) Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements
(c) Restricted funds - these are funds that can only be used for a particular restricted purpose within the objects of the charitable company. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor when funds are raised for particular purposes.
## **n. Pension costs**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to this scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. These contributions are invested separately from the charity’s assets.

## **16. Write** ‑ **off of Legacy Credit Card Balance**
The charity recognised an exceptional cost of £15,122 relating to a legacy credit card balance, this arose prior to the team at Staveley overseeing the financial affairs of The Edge Ministries. The finance team and trustees identified weaknesses in historic financial controls whereby transactions on the card were unsupported by adequate documentation and could not be correctly attributed to charitable activity and categorised. Following review, the balance has been written off in these accounts. The trustees have closed the card and introduced financial control procedures to ensure robust oversight going forward to prevent recurrence.
