Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31st December 2023

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Vision

The Charity is a Christian church committed to knowing Jesus, loving Jesus and living for Jesus as the body of Christ. Its vision is to bring truth and hope to our community, and beyond to the nations.

Vision statement

A church that releases you into your calling in Jesus.

Objectives for 2023

A number of church members continue to support the Elders in a leadership capacity in the absence of a full time paid lead Elder. The Eldership team was reduced from 4 to 3 in September 2023 as Sam Hailes moved to Eastbourne and subsequently left the church.

Support has continued to be given by Hope Church Bromley and in particular Tony Hall as its senior pastor.

Specific Objectives:

Volunteers

The trustees would like to thank the many volunteers who make such a valuable contribution to the successful operation of the Charity.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Praise and worship activities

When the church gathers, it is to praise and thank God for who he is and what He has done in our lives, in the community and in the nation. We believe that God cares for us and the community in which we live and has set His church in place to bring about His Kingdom in a needy world.

Our worship team is made up of sensitive and accomplished musicians who seek to excel in assisting God's people to express their gratitude and praise to an awesome God. With these guiding principles for 2023 we:

Mid-week life group meetings have taken place both in person in members homes and via Zoom.

Weekly prayer meetings at the church building took place alongside mid week and on a Sunday morning pre service.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Connect, Community and Equip Groups Health, social and fitness outreach

Morning Stars - based at the church building, provides a free, safe, comfortable and friendly environment for parents, grandparents and carers to bring their babies and toddlers. It is staffed by volunteer members and creates a fun-packed atmosphere of support.. (There is a voluntary contributions box to cover the cost of tea, coffee, biscuits and crafts.)

Equip groups

These run termly for 10-12 weeks and form the hub of the community life of the church; they are the central point of our group structure. All members are encouraged to take part in one of the community groups, which focus on growing together in God by studying the Bible, praying together, providing opportunities for using gifts, and providing support, encouragement and friendship.

Social Outreach

In November 2022 the church joined the "Warm Welcome " campaign, opening the building to those within the local community on a Monday evening. Food was provided free of charge along with the opportunity for guests to select items for free from the winter wardrobe ( a collection of clothes and toiletries donated by church members). In total 64 guests attended the events and the same outreach event was run again in February and March 2023.

National and Overseas Activities

A number of the church members along with church leaders were able to attend the Regions Beyond conferences based in the UK. The youth group attended the Newday event alongside the youth group from Hope Church Bromley.The Church made financial contributions to ease the financial burden on the families of attendees.

The Church attended a weekend over the bank holiday in August alongside the Hope Family of churches. Camping and enjoying fellowship with other Christians from across Bromley.

Maintenance

During 2023 the church underwent continued redecoration with the many areas benefiting from monies being spent on them. Electrical work took place as well as the complete refurbishment of the toilet facilities, a project that had been in the making since 2019. It was identified in 2023 that in the next 5-8 years the older part of the building would benefit from a new roof. The Trustees will work with the Elders in 2024 to create a plan of how funds can be raised for this.

Ecumenical relationships

We are a member of the Evangelical Alliance and, as stated above, are part of a world-wide family of churches known as 'Regions Beyond' which grew out of our affiliation with our larger New Frontiers Church family. We also have a healthy working and community relationship with most of the mainline Christian churches in our neighbourhood. We continue to offer the hand of friendship to local church leaders and to join with Regions Beyond leaders in an online capacity.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

Total receipts on unrestricted funds amounted to £273,888 and those on restricted funds amounted to £17,673 and are detailed in the financial statements. The total costs of running the church amounted to £249,034 on unrestricted funds and £8,528 on restricted funds, including staff costs of £88,032 and grants and donations made of £46,933. The net result for the year was a surplus of £24,854 on unrestricted funds, which, when added to the unrestricted funds brought forward of £1,101,895, left funds of £1,126,749 to carry forward including the revaluation reserve. The net surplus on restricted funds of £9,145 was added to the balance of funds brought forward of £29,081 leaving funds of £38,226 to carry forward.

Investment policy

The trustees continue to monitor the cash resources and manage budgets accordingly, post the toilet refurbishment plans are being made for major roof repairs.

Reserves policy

The trustees review this policy regularly and are satisfied that there are sufficient reserves available for the Charity to continue in the event of a reduction in regular income.

FUTURE PLANS

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

The charity is governed by a trust deed dated 9th October 1979 as amended by deeds dated 26th July 2000 and 8th June 2009, a Trustees resolution dated 25th October 2010 and a trust deed dated 5th February 2019.

Operating name

The charity operates under the name of Christ Central London.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Trustees are appointed from within the church membership and the power of appointment and removal is vested in the church elders.

Organisational Structure

We continue to be a GDPR compliant church, and have obtained cyber insurance to cover any liability. A dedicated church admin platform is used to support both paid staff and volunteers to handle personal and sensitive data in a GDPR compliant manner.

The Trustees meet as a body regularly throughout the year with the majority being in person at the church building. The Charity's activities are run by team leaders who liaise with the Elders to discuss management issues, progress, training and developments. Finally, the Elders meet regularly to review the overall church activities.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Management

The Charity's day-to-day activities are carried out by a dedicated team of part-time staff and volunteers who are overseen by the Elders of the church. The Charity has five Trustees. The Elders, together with the Trustees, establish policies and guidance to ensure that the Charity's aims and objectives are met. The part-time team who served in 2023 was as follows:

Chris Smith - Pastor/Teacher/Elder Ken Kitson - Finance Michelle Solley - Administrator Susanne Marsden - Communications & integration manager Max Eaton - Communications, Worship & Tech (joined Dec '23)

Since the end of 2021 the Charity has continued to benefit in leadership from three volunteer Elders alongside Chris Smith, whose working week increased to help with the day to day operation of the Church (at the end of 2023 this reduced to two volunteer Elders as Sam Hailes moved out of London and stopped fulfilling the role of Elder).

Membership

The church operates a membership scheme with 102 adult members as at 31.12.23, although many of the church's activities are open to the whole community. This is a reduction from the 104 members from 2022. In 2023 our Sunday morning meetings were well attended by members as well as many visitors from London and abroad, averaging approximately 120 people. The church services continue to be live streamed via YouTube with on average 100 views per week. The Elders hold regular Family Meetings to impart vision, share strategy and discuss the business matters of the church, all church members are invited to attend these meetings. A survey carried out in 2022 identified that 30+ nationalities were represented within the church membership.

Related parties

The freehold property is held in the names of C Hall, M Webb, E Trim and G Steele.

Risk management

The Trustees and Elders regularly review the major risks to which the Charity is exposed. Where appropriate, policies, systems and procedures have been established to mitigate risks the Charity faces. The Charity maintains full public liability insurance. A Health and Safety review of the building was carried out in November 2022 with a number of recommendations suggested to help in the day to day operation of the building. these were implemented in 2023. Another review will be completed in Q1 2024, updating the risk register and ensuring current training and ways of working are mitigating and managing risk.

The Charity has a comprehensive Child Protection policy which is applied to all our children's and youth work, as well as a Vulnerable Adults policy which is applied to our work with vulnerable adults. The policies were updated in November 2020.

A safeguarding day was held on 12th March 2022 to train and resource youth workers, children's workers and those working with vulnerable adults in all matters pertaining to staff safeguarding. Safer recruitment training was also delivered to those in positions of leadership and likely to be involved with recruitment on 1st April 2022. Refresher training will take place in 2024.

Although the risk from Covid 19 subsided in 2023 the Charity continued to take sensible precautions to support the safety and wellbeing of those attending the building. Hand sanitizers continued to be provided in numerous locations within the building.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 28th May 2024 and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Christ Central London

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Christ Central London

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Christ Central London (the Trust) for the year ended 31st December 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can 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 material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. 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.
