## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
Advancement of the Christian Faith. Relief of persons in conditions of hardship or distress. Advancement of education of Christian principles and values.
## **Significant activities**
The Church aims to provide a place where ordinary people can come for worship and prayer, learning about the good news of Jesus and to develop their Christian faith. Mid week community groups provide, support and pastoral care for those living within the community. Through initiates such as "Love Plumstead", the church aims to provide outreach to those in the community who do not regularly attend church services.
The charity maintains a building to support this work comprising a main meeting space, kitchen, toilets and a number of meeting rooms as well as an office.
## **Worship, Prayer and Teaching**
The church has a prayer meeting each Sunday followed by the main service. Tea and coffee are served free of charge both before and after the main service. A bi-monthly "Encounter" service is run on a Friday evening, providing a relaxed atmosphere for prayer and worship.
Separate classes for crèche (ages 0-4), Junior Church (ages 5-11) and Youth (ages 11-14) are run each Sunday morning during the morning service. These provide activities and teaching for the different age groups all staffed by volunteers.
In addition, monthly men's and women's groups are run from the church building.
## **Mission and Evangelism**
The church regularly has members go out into the community to offer prayer and pastoral care on the street. Church members are involved in volunteering at a night shelter and at a Contact Centre for families where the parents are living apart.
## **Pastoral care and Youth Work**
Midweek community group, run by volunteers are places where friendship, encouragement and support are provided. Four Community Groups meet at different times during the week.
A Youth Group is run every other Friday for 11-18 year olds. Attended by around 8-12 young people, the group is a mix of games, discussion, teaching and worship as well as outings during school holidays. The group was due to attend a Youth Camp in Dover at the end of July 2020 however this had to be cancelled due to the Covid Pandemic.
## **Public benefit**
The above activities have been agreed by the Trustees having regard to the public benefit guidance issued by the Charities Commission.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Covid Pandemic**
The Covid Pandemic had a significant impact on the church's activities from the middle of March 2020. All services and activities within the building ceased in line with Government restrictions. A weekly on-line service on Sunday mornings was commenced and has continued throughout the pandemic with up to 70 attendees each week. In addition weekly on-line Junior Church and Youth meetings were commenced and all mid-week meetings were also held on-line.
Arrangements were put in place to ensure contact was maintained with the more isolated and vulnerable members of the church and support was given to those who were finding it difficult to connect on-line.
Due to the restricted space within the building, Sunday services at the building have not yet resumed. However following the Government's Covid safe guidelines, some midweek meetings were held in the building during July - October 2020.
Outdoor small group meetings were held during the summer months, as were outdoor youth events.
## **Grantmaking**
Grants are made to:
Individual members in financial need.
The charity aims to give away approximately 10% of its income to other churches and organisations within the UK and abroad for special projects consistent with the objects of the charity.
## **Volunteers**
Apart from one full time elder, one part time administrator and one part time cleaner, all activities are staffed by volunteers from the Church membership.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
Employment of a full time Minister.
Employment of part time administrator and worship leader.

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
The charity seeks to hold reserves of £15,000 to cover essential expenditure over a three month period (eg. salaries, utilities,etc.).
## **Covid Pandemic**
With the cessation of in-building services in March 2020, the weekly collections that were undertaken on a Sunday morning were no longer possible. This had typically accounted for around 15% of the church's income. In April 2020 the Trustees made an appeal to church members and regular attendees to continue their regular giving and for those who use to give via the weekly collection, to consider switching to on-line giving. This appeal was well responded to and giving to the Charity during the Pandemic has been maintained at pre-Covid levels. However, the overall income has marginally increased, as it became possible for more of the income to be included in the Gift Aid scheme.
## **Funds in deficit**
No funds are materially in deficit.
Expenditure:
Payment of salaries;
Expenditure has been made during the year to provide resources for weekly church meetings, children's work, youth work and street outreach;
Donations have been made to individuals and organisations that are working to support local churches to meet the needs in their local areas e.g. Global Legacy, Colin Potter, Tear Fund.
Expenditure on mortgage repayments and upkeep of the building, where the majority of the charities activities take place.
Work was undertaken in January 2020 to repair the internal ceiling to the main hall which suffered damaged due to high winds. A section of the ceiling tiles were replaced.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

A trustee will be a committed member of the church who adheres to the "Statement of Faith" as contained within the 4th schedule of the "Declaration of Trust" and whose life and actions are consistent with the "object and purposes" of the charity.The Elders (or recognised spiritual leaders) of the Church are responsible for all matters spiritual and fulfil their duty with regard to the appointment of trustees in accordance with the Declaration of Trust and all other duties with regard to sound, and Biblical based, Christian practice. They defer to the Trustees on all matter financial and determine all matters spiritual.
## **Induction and training of new trustees**

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHURCH OF CHRIST THE KING**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Church of Christ the King**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Church of Christ the King (the Trust) for the year ended 31 August 2021.
## **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**
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
3. 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.
