## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

Overview 

Overseas Mission 

Sitini and Sered thanked the church for our financial support of them last summer, and are continuing to give thanks to God for his support and provision. 

Home of the Sparrow Orphanage continues to face pressures from the government, saying that children can only qualify for the orphanage (and therefore free education), children must have lost both parents, whereas previously children only had to lose one parent. 

This has dramatically decreased the number of children they can support, declining from 60+ to about 30 children. The government has also been demanding that Daniel update the facilities (mosquito nets, painting etc.) which has put a strain on the finances of the orphanage. Victor was looking at visiting again, but authority requirements for a visa are proving an obstacle for being able to go.

## City Ministries 

We had our first City Ministries Leadership Conference in October, where we heard from John Betts, Christian Hacking and Elizabeth Davey. This day was very encouraging with an interesting and diverse subject matter. John spoke about recognising leadership abuses, Christian shared his testimony of recognising God's leadership into unseen ministry and Beth spoke on her research project on how to work with the spiritual heritage of the city. The day was well received and another conference is being planned for later in 2025. 

One key way in which City Ministries came together over the past year was in prayer on Halloween, when the Abortion buffer zone came into effect. The spiritual significance of preventing prayer outside baby killing factories, on the night where evil is celebrated, and witchcraft and blood sacrifice take place was not lost on us, and so churches and ministries across the city came together to combat the spiritual forces of darkness in prayer together. 

## Ministry Events 

Our summer began with great celebration as we had three baptisms! Anna, Stuart and Rachel shared their testimonies before being baptised and then Keira Long from The Way church in Drayton was our guest speaker for the occasion. The following week we welcomed 7 people into church membership. 

At the end of the summer, we had a less formal service where we worshiped in the cafe area and read aloud the entire book of Revelation. This enabled us to hear the letter as it would have originally been listened to in its entirety by the first listeners, but also to enjoy longer, uninterrupted Scripture reading than we have time for in our regular service. Many people found this a refreshing way to engage with the book of Revelation as a whole which can get people bogged down and confused. 

For Harvest, we held a social afternoon tea for our congregation. This was a chance to relax, enjoy one another's company and celebrate all that God has done for us as a church, but also individually over the past year. 

Our Christmas candlelight service was a great success, and saw a number of young people from our youth group attend to sing well known carols and hear the gospel! 

At Easter, we partnered with other churches in Lakenham and Tuckswood for a Walk of Witness on Good Friday, ending at St Paul's Tuckswood, where Living Waters (the Tamil church) led the service. We had a good number join for the walk, and even more meet us at the church for the service. On Easter Saturday we hit the streets of Norwich for a CBR UK display and our Apologetics cell group to do an Easter Street Outreach. The engagement was great and Potter's House church was out singing worship which proved an encouragement and calmed the atmosphere. 

In May, we hosted Intercessors for Britain for a day of teaching and prayer. This was a very instructive day with plenty of time to pray corporately for our nation as well. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## Bilney 

We are delighted to welcome Paul H-B into the Admin side of the Bilney project! His management and leadership skills have already proved a great asset to the team. Because of him coming on board with us, the Teach Beyond Partnership is moving forward and we are looking to progress from Stage 1 to Stage 2 of their 5 stages.

## **The Christian Fellowship, Norwich** 

## **Trustees Annual Report** 

In May, we attended the Christian Concern conference Education Revolution which enabled us to network with many others doing similar work across the country. Although not everything was in line with what we believe God is directing us to do, there was the opportunity to connect Paul with Matt Coe from TechBeyond which was invaluable. We also made several other in person connections which was good to consolidate relationships already made. 

After the summer half term, we had a soft Launch of Bilney focusing on English and Handwriting. This has been successful and will be continuing even with the inclusion of English in the CC curriculum this year. The goal is that this support will be extended to other extra curricular activities in order to support parents and provide opportunities the children would not have otherwise. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

No changes to structure, governance and management were made this year. 

Appointment of Trustees 

Is by recognition of the two church leaders and Senior Management Team. A formal interview is conducted to ensure the candidate meets the standards required for a leadership role in the church. Trustees will have been in church membership for over 1 year, at least 21 years of age, and completed a church induction course. 

## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements** 

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees' annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the Trust deed. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of The Christian Fellowship, Norwich** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Christian Fellowship, Norwich for the year ended 31 July 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 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** 

I have completed my examination. I can 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: 

- the accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

- Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life: 

Freehold property 5% straight line kitchen refurbushment 20% straight line Office equipment 25% straight line Fixtures and fittings 15% reducing balance

**Notes to the Accounts** 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management. 

## **Trade and other creditors** 

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## **Research and development** 

Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. 

## **Foreign currencies** 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred. All exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure. 

## **Leased assets** 

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease. Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases. 

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets. 

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis. 

## **Pension costs** 

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the charity has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the charity in independently administered funds.
