The Tnjstees present their report along with the financial statements of the Church for the year ended
31 December 2025. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting polities Set
out in Notes l and 2, and comply with the trust deed and applicable law.
Objectives and activities
The objectives of the Assembly, as stated in the Trust Deed are..
111 to glorify God and advance the Christian faith by bearing witnes5 in word and action to the life and
teachings of Jesus Christ and to the truths of Christianity lin accordance with the Statement of
Beliefs),.
121 to relieve Sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health by the provision
of funds, goods or services of any kind, including through the provision of counselling and support,.
131 to advance education;
141 to establish new local churches-
151 to advance citizenship by inculcating Christian ethica5 behaviour in and among people of all ages- and
161 to promote reconciliation.
These objects may be pursued in the United Kingdom or Ireland or the world in such ways as the Trustees from
time to time may think fit.
In furtherance of the principal object of the Charity the Trustee5 maintain Ap51ey Hall as a place for the worship of
God, the preaching of the gospel of God and the fellowship and edification of the Christian believers who
constitute the Assembly. Thi5 is mainly done by weekly meeting5 for the Lord's Supper (communion seNicel, the
preaching and teachinE of the Word of God, prayer and fellowship, and the weekly Apsley Bible Club for young
people.
Since the preaching of the gospel is not restricted to any one location or community, it has been the practice of
the Assembly, following the example of the New Testament, to encourage interest in missionary work at home
and abroad, and to use Assembly fijnds, over and above what is needed to maintain the fabric of the building and
fund local meetings. to 5UPPOrt missionary work worldwide. During 2025 such support was given to 13 evangelists
and missionarieslmi5sionary couples and 15 rnission, relief and support organization5.
Report on Public benefit
The trustees consider that the church fulfils the public benefit requirement as evidenced In the followlng ways..
The advancement of the Christian faith, with the infinite spiritual and eternal benefrts derived from a
relationship of trust with God,.
The advancement of education as part of the advancement of the Christian faith, promoting the analysis
of ancient Itterature and the religious and creative education of children;
The advancement of citizenship and community development, through the antecedent benefits of the
moral framework provided by the Christian faith (including physical and mental health and positive
attitudes to work, citizenship, moral and social behaviourl,.
The advancement of conflict resolution and reconciliètion, as the Christian faith forbids retaliation and
promotes repentance, forgiveness, and reconciSiation. including the respect of those who hold different
religions, belief5, and practice;
The promotion of sacrificial giving by church members to other charitable organisations involved in work
such as education, medical aid, disaster aid and the relief of poverty. Such organisations bring about the
rellef of poverty, the relief of those in need by reason of various disadvantages, the advancement of
health and the saving of lives.

Apsley Hall As5ernbly. Account5 for the year ended 31 December 2025
Beneficiarie5 of the church's purp05e5 are men, worllen and children in Belfast and such other parts of the UK.
Ireland, and the rest of the world as the trustees from time tD time may think fit. Church services are open to all
to attend free of charge, although some are intended for specific age groups or confessing Christians with
Christian lifestyles. The indirert benefits listed in the final bullet point above impact people worldwide.
Achievements and performance
The objects of the Assembly are spiritual and qua5itative, and therefore are difficult to measure in many respects.
A high proportion of members continue to be engaged in serving the Lord in a variety of ways in the Assembly.
(l) Glorifying God (Jnd (Jdvancing the Christi(Jn faith
The Assembly provides a variety of church services and activities ihroughout the year. Membership at the end of
2025 was 41. We welcomed 8 new members but also said goodbye to I member.
The Trustees are delighted with the way the assemb￿ continues to support many missionaries and mission
organisation5 at home and abroad through prayer, financial giving and volunteering. During the year
13 evangelists and missionaries/missionary coijples were supported in the work of evangelism and Bible teaching
in Ireland Inorth and south), and also in England. Albania, China, Cyprus, Moldova, and Zambia.
Some members of the assembly were able to make trips to aid in medical relief work during the year. One
member continues to work as a volunteer with Bible Centred Ministries International, and another as a volunteer
editor for Bible Educational Service5. Several members regularly preach in other Christian churches throughout
Ireland. Two current and former members are involved full- or part-time with the Myrtlefield Trust, a worldwide
Christian publishing ministry.
As in previous years, the assembly continued to offer Bibles free of charge to website visitors. This work began to
increase exponentially in stale during 2023 and 2024, and volumes remain high in 2025.
Over 10,000 Bibles were posted during 2025 to addresses in the UK and Ireland Ic. 2,000 were posted In the prlor
yearl. Requests from some other countries are forwarded to partners there.
A number of steps have been taken in order to adapt to this increase in volumes. The assembly began to partner
with a Christian publisher and distributor, Ioofthose, who post Bibles directly to online requestors. The a5semblv
IS grateful for the efforts of Ioofthose in seeking to minimise costs and carry out the work as efFiciently as
possible. Four members of the church now share responsibility for reviewing request5 and correspond￿n8 with
both requestors and Ioofthose.
Costs of the work have increased significantly in turn Isee note 7 below). It has so far been wssible to cover these
amounts through a combination of existing regular voluntary donations and exceptional gifts from donors within
and outside of the church, and the assembly is grateful for the generous support provided.
The a55embly also has significant resources available in terms of both cash and fund balances. There wa5 £19,655
in the current account at year end given specifically for Bibles. There was also a surplu5 of c. £23,000 lin excess of
reSe￿e$l in the mission fund in the assembly's current account at the year end, and the assembly expects to use
some part of this Surplus in 2026 to support expenditure on Bibles lin keeping with the objective of the mission
fund for support of mission work and the advancerllent of the Christian faith worldwide).
The elder5 and deacons continue to monitor current and projected expenditure on Bibles in light of the
a55embly's existing commitments to wider mission giving. If it were to become clear that such expenditure could
not be sustained, the website offer would be provisionally suspended.
The Trustees re￿1ve benefit from this object in the same way as the public at large. Thls is regarded as incidental.

(2) Relieving sickness andfinonciol hardship and promoting and preserving good health
The church has an annval offering for Chitokoloki Mission Hospital in Zambia, where several of our members have
seNed in various capacities in recent year5, including 2025.
Regular support is given to a children'5 home in Albania that several members of the church have vi51ted in the
past.
Our regular annual offering was sent to Open Doors. for the suffering church throughout the world. Our annual
offering for Mission Aviation Fellowship also helped support a variety of relief efforts worldwide. And through
Manara International support was also given to refugees from Syria and Iran, now located in Jordan.
During 2025 we continued to provide food to several families known to members as part of a relief scheme,
helping with the cost-of-living crisis.
(3) Advancing education
DLJring the year there have beefj offerings to support Christian mission schools in Burundi, Cypru5 and Zambia
where three of our past members have previously taught and several member5 have visited. We also supported
Manara International's work in running camps for young people in Jordan. We had an annual offering for Bible
Educational Services, which provides materials to Schools and individual young people in Ireland and in a large
number of languages and countries across the world.
The assernbly has continued a series of informal Sunday evangelistic evenin8s, discussing stories recorded in the
Gospels. There has been an encouraging number of interested visitors coming to these events.
(4) Establishing new local churches
Many of the mi55ionaries 5UPPOrted during the year are engaging in building up churche5 established recently.
One evangelist was supported who is actively seeking to establish a new church in Northern Ireland and another
couple is seeking to establish a new church in the Republic of Ireland.
(5) Advt7ncing citizenshNp
The Christian gospel clearly teaches respect for. and submission to. lawfully appoinled human authority, and
artive participation in the societies where church members live. Such teaching contributes to the advancing of
citizenship, and is an integral part of all teaching given to adults and children who participate in the church'5
activities.
(6) Promoting reconciliotion
This past year we continued to support and staff a cross-comrnunity residential on behalf of BCM.
The Trustees have had regard to the statutory guidance in respect of the Public 8enefit Requirement published bv
the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland.
Financial review
Results
The Trustees are once again thankful for the Lord's blessing throughout another year and are grateful for the
continued generosity of members of the Assembly, and regular attenders at the meetinBS, particularly in the face
of the difficult financial and personal circumstances arising from the cost-of-living crisis.
Gifts and gift making policy
It is the assembly policy to make gifts to Christian workers commended by the Assembty to the Lord's work,
former member5 of the Assernbly and others known to the elders and members of the ￿seMblY who are
engaged in Christian rninistry in Ireland and worldwide. During the year gifts of £19,093 were made to individuals
levangelists, missionaries / missionary couples. and local individuals in need known to the church) and gifts of
£17,713 were made to institutions Imission organizations, Christian schoo15, and Christian organisations in a
variety of relief ministries in the UK and worldwidel.

Ap51ey Hall Assembly, Accounts for the year ended 31 Oecember 2025
Reserves poliry
The Trustees aim to have suff icient funds from year to year to maintain the meeting hall and to make a significant
ongoing contribution to Christian mission work in Ireland and worldwide. The Trustees have set aside an amount
equal to approximately orie yearfs essential cost5 to maintain the hall and reguSar church meetings, and three
months of regular missions giving. Reserve funds are invested in a spread of low to moderate risk funds that are
ethically invested. The Trustees are currently seeking to increase reserves in the building fund with a view to a
possible future building project.
Risk monogement
The Trustees have examined the major business and operatlonal rSsks which Apsley Hall Assembly faces. They
have appointed a qualified accountant as honorary treasurer. All offerings are counted by two people who sign a
record of the amounts received, and all cheques issued are signed by two people from a panel of six authorized
signatories. The Trustees monitor the finances regularly throughout the year, and are confident that the risks are
relatively minimal 8iven the nature of its work, the donations made to it and the modest costs that it incurs.
Taxation statu5
As a charity recogniied by HM Revenue and Customs the A55embly has no liability to taxation on its charitable
activities.
Structure, governance and management
Ap51ey Hall Assembly is an independent local church and a charity recognized by HM Revenue and Customs
IHMRCI, originally constituted under a trust deed dated 10 March 1921 which was replaced by a modern deed
dated 30 September 2014, with a minor rnodification in July 2015. It is registered with the Charity Commission for
Northern Ireland as of 28 January 2015 as required by the Charities Act (Northem Ireland) 2008 las amended).
The assembly is in the Pro￿$5 of changing its legal form from a trust to a company limited by guarantee. The
company was incorporated on 28 November 2024 and assets are currently120261 in the process of being
transferred from the trust to the company.
Trustee5 are appointed by the Board of Trustees and serve for an indefinite period. Those Trustees who have
served during the year are Set out on page 2.
The Trustees meet annually, but have delegated the spiritual oversight of the assembly to elders who are
appointed from wlthln the church membership. The elder5 are a5SlSted in the ongoing management of the
assembly activities, funds and fabric by deacons. Elders and deacons are selected on the basis of the biblical
qualifications given in l Timothy and Titus, and serve for an indefinite period. The elders meet once a month, and
at least one elder meet5 Wlth the deaconlsl once a month also.
No Irustee 15 remunerated for their services as trustee, but they are reimbursed for authorised payments they
have made for assembly expenses.
Risk
The Trustees consider that there are two main areas of risk facing the Assembly, a5 follows-
Finoncial.. The Assembly relies almost entirely on the income recewed from freewill offerings which enables the
Assembly to achieve tt5 charitable objective5.
This past year there was an excess of income over expenditure (before investment gains /10ssesl of £22,883
Icompared to an excess of income over expenditure of £28,443 in 2024, a5 restated on an accruals basis).
Voluntary donations during the year increased by £33.556 or 34%, due to increases both in weekly boxes
(increase of £4,118 or 7%) and one-off gifts (increase of £29,884 or 88%). The majority of one-off gifts relate to
exceptional gifts towards the assembly's work of distributing free Bibles (see further comments above); there
were also some one-off gifts towards the building fund. Gift Aid decreased by £445.

Apsley Hall Assembly, Accounts lor the year ended 31 Oecember 2025
The Trustees consider that any additional c05tS should not pose a significant risk in 2026. Should income be
reduced significantly, the Trustees would implement a cost reduction programme and seek additional sources of
Income to ensure the A55embly's financial stability.
Reputotionol.. A child protection policy has been drawn up in relation to work with children and the elders have
appointed a designated child protection officer. This policy is reviewed annually, and everyone who assists with
the children's work is vetted. A safeguardin8 policy ha5 been drafted and has now been adopted.
Trustees, responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The law applicable to charities in Northern Ireland requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each
financial year which gwe a true and fair view of the Charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial
position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to..
select 5Ultable accounting policies and then apply them conslstently;
Fnake judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent,.
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been
followed. subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements,. and
prep3re the financial Statements on the going concern basis unless It is inappropriate to presume that
the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which 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 (Northern Ireland) 2008 las amended). They are also responsible for Safeguarding the a55ets of the
Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

NOTES TO ACCOUNTS
Note I
1.1 Basis of accounting
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or
transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notelsl to these accounts.
The accounts have been prepared in accordan￿ with the Statement of Recommended Practice- Accounting and
Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in
the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 issued on 16 July 2014 and with the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 and with the Charities Act (Northern Ireland)
2008.
The charity constitutes a public beg)efit entity as defined by FRS 102.
All amounts have been rounded to the nearest pound.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Trust has
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Tru5tee5 adopt the
going concern basi5 of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Accounting policy
The accounts present a true and fair view and the accounting policies adopted are a5 Stated in the present note.
The accounts have been prepared on an accrua15 basis, in line with the Charitie5 Statement of Recommended
Practice ISORPI IFRS 1021. The prior period was the first period for which accounts were prepared on an accruals
basis.
The assembly is currently in the process of changing legal form from a trust to a company limited by guarantee,
and will therefore be legally obliged to prepare accounts on an accruals basis once that process ￿ complete.
Current year accounts have therefore been prepared on an accrua15 basis, in anlicipation of the change currentlv
ongoing. This is consistent with the approach taken in the prior year.
