CHURCH OF CHRIST THE KING REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
The Trustees present their reports with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31[st] August 2022. 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 Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
Advancement of the Christian Faith, Advancement of education of Christian principles and values Relief of persons in conditions of hardship or distress
Significant activities
The Church aims to provide a place where ordinary people can come for worship and pray, 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.
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.
Sunday services at the building were only resumed at the end of July 2021 following a change in the government Covid guidance. Covid safe practices were put in place for the opening which included recording attendance in-line with the government “Track and Trace” scheme, increased spacing of chairs, hand sanitisers at entry and exit points, and an enhanced cleaning regime.
Since July 2021 the following activities resumed:
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.
Separate classes for crèche (ages 0 – 4), Junior Church (ages 5- 11) and Youth (ages 1114) 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.

CHURCH OF CHRIST THE KING REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (continued)
Pastoral Care and Youth Work
Midweek community group, run by volunteers are places where friendship, encouragement and support are provided. Five Community Groups meet at different times during the week.
A Youth Group is run every other Wednesday 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.
Public Benefit
The above activities have been agreed by the Trustees having regard to the public benefit guidance issued by the Charities Commission.
Grantmaking
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/worship leader and one part time pastoral assistant, all activities are staffed by volunteers from the Church membership.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Employment of a full time Minister, Jamie Lee
Employment of part time administrator and worship leader, Rachel Lee
Employment of part time Pastoral Assistant, Fiola Dixon
For a number of years, Jamie and Rachel Lee along with other members of the church, have been working with Eastgate a church on a number of their initiatives and mid-week programmes. One such initiative is “Living Fire” whose aim is to encourage and equip churches from around the UK and beyond to explore new ways of worship and outreach.
At the start of April 2021, the church was provided with a grant from Living Fire to release Jamie Lee and Rachel Lee to work for one day a week for a year in support of the Living Fire initiative. This grant enabled Rachel to work an extra day per week (in addition to the two she was working for CCK). To enable Jamie to spend one day per week working on the Living Fire initiative, the church employed a Pastoral assistant, Fiola Dixon, for one day per week on a one-year fixed contract.
The Living Fire Grant was renewed for a further year in April 2022, which enabled Rachel to continue to work for an extra day and a Fiola’s one day a week contract was extended for a further year.
At the end of 2022 Living Fire confirmed that the grant would not be renewed again and that the final grant payment would be made in March 2023.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Main Activities of the Charity:
-
Running weekly Sunday and mid-week church services
-
Running two weekly Youth Activities attended by up to 12 young people from the surrounding area – during the Covid pandemic, these were undertaken on-line
Grants were made to:
-
Global Legacy/Living Fire (Church Network/Training)
-
Dream Revolution (on-line training app encouraging spiritual growth and maturity)
-
STEPS (A charity offering courses to help people break free of unhelpful behaviour patterns)
Repair and upkeep to the building owned by the Charity where the majority of activities take place.
Providing Leaders Support and Coaching (via Pete Carter – Senior Church Leader)
A Nepalese Church uses the building on a Sunday and the Church has provided support to the leaders.
Fundraising activities
All funds are obtained from voluntary contributions from Church members and visitors.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves Policy
The Charity seeks to hold reserves of £15,000 to cover essential expenditure over a threemonth period (e.g. Salaries, utilities etc)
Funds in deficit
No funds are materially in deficit.
Church Finances
Following the commencement of the Grant from Living Fire in April 2021, the church has also been able to build up some reserves, which stood at around £10,000 as at December 2022.
During 2021 and early 2022, a number of long-standing members of the church left due to house moves. This has had an impact on the overall church finances. Measures were put in place in March 2022 to reduce expenditure to a minimum and an appeal to increase giving by church members was made in June 2022 and again in November 2022. These appeals along with some new members joining during 2022, saw some increase in income. However, with the confirmation in December 2022 that the Living Fire Grant would not continue past March 2023, it was clear that the level of income could not support the current expenditure on salaries. Following a review of the church finances and in consultation with the Church Leadership Team, the following adjustment in paid working hours from April 2023 were agreed:
Jamie Lee – Reduced hours from 5 days per week to 4 days per week Rachel Lee – Reduced hours from 3 days a week to 2 days per week Fiola Dixon – Retained on 1 day per week
Page 3
CHURCH OF CHRIST THE KING REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
This adjustment will mean income and expenditure will be in balance from April 2023.
Expenditure
Payment of salaries
Expenditure has been made during the year to provide resources for weekly church meetings, Children’s Work and Youth Work
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, STEPS
Expenditure on mortgage repayments and upkeep of the building where the majority of the Charity’s activities take place.
Work was undertaken in on the rear flat roof of the church in September 2021 to repair a leak. The leak had affected some of the electrical services to the rear of the building and once repairs to the roof were completed, an electrician was employed to repair and restore the electrical services.
STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing Document
The Charity is controlled by the governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Declaration of Trust dated 1[st] December 1985
Recruitment and appointment of new Trustees

A Trustee will be a committed member of the church who adheres to the “Statement of Faith” contained within the 4[th] schedule of the “Declaration of Trust” and whose life and actions are consistent with the “objects and purposes” of the Charity.
Induction and training of new Trustees
New Trustees are supplied with a copy of the governing document and the Charities Commission document CC3 ‘The Essential Trustee’. An induction session with an Elder and existing Trustees is convened to go through the role and to address any questions and concerns. If a Trustee is being asked to be involved or to take responsibility in a specific area i.e. Safeguarding then additional training is arranged as appropriate, and if necessary with an outside body.

The Chair of Trustees is in regular contact with the accountant to ensure any issues regarding the financial health of the Charity are addressed. The Board of Trustees meet on a regular basis (minimum 3 times per year) to review the charities financial status and to make necessary
