Public benefit
Advancement of Religion
TCB promotes teaching from the Word of God, the Bible, at worship services at churches planted by TCB (‘TCB Churches’), with services open to all members of the public. We also promote the development of existing believers at TCB Churches, helping them to understand the Christian faith more deeply, and how the Gospel is transformative of every aspect of life. We encourage individuals to respond to teaching received through prayer, worship and Christian service. The direct benefits which flow from this purpose are: an improved sense of wellbeing for those attending TCB Churches as they enjoy fellowship with others and receive teaching, and the promotion of Christian values for the benefit of individuals, churches and communities. The indirect benefits which flow from this purpose include the moral improvement in society as a whole which religion is considered to encourage.
Advancement of Education
We promote teaching about Evangelical Christian beliefs in TCB Churches, proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The direct benefits which flow from this purpose are spiritual, moral and intellectual development, through teaching of the Bible, of members of TCB Churches and the public, and the development of individual skills and capabilities of Church members who are involved in teaching and ministry at public worship services.
Advancement of Community Development
TCB seeks to reach out into the local communities in which its churches are based, and to be viewed as being open to all sectors of the community. We seek to transcend the traditional Protestant and Catholic divide existing in Northern Ireland. The direct benefits which flow from this purpose are: the encouragement of those who live in the locality of TCB Churches as they participate in activities organised by the Churches, and the provision of practical assistance such as food and clothing to those who may be in need.
The organisation’s direct beneficiaries are churches, para-church organisations and charities within the Belfast area who wish to benefit from the church-planting resources and experience that TCB offers. Communities and society in general will also benefit indirectly from the work of TCB as new churches are planted and existing churches strengthened. The benefits listed above will be evidenced through informal feedback from those who make use of TCB’s resources.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland.

Trustees' Report
Achievements and performance and plans for future periods The work of Trinity continued through 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025. Weekly public worship and prayer meetings continued.
We thank Cherryl Graham and the small team behind the Blossoms work for their continued commitment to serving babies and their parents. The local community continues te amaze us with their generosity with toiletries, pre-loved clothes and financial gifts. There is also a supportive group that we might call “Friends of Blossoms” who support us through their craft, knitting and dropping in either on an occasional Thursday or at our annual coffee morning. We thank all these people for their faithfulness and support.
Our minister Lee Eagleson continues to form links as chaplain of Brantwood Football Club. The club in the past year has formed a Reserves team which has seen the number of players. almost double and with it the opportunity for pastoral support and witness.
Lee also continues to connect to Peas Park. The Blossoms’ Easter Egg hunt is now an annual event. Our church enjoyed joining them for their Summer Fair - especially our children.
Lee’s work with the wider City To City movement saw a course on church planting and revitalisation (called Center Church Unpacked) being run in St. Paul’s and St. Barnabas. Much of this expertise has been grown through past investment over a number of years by theTrinity Church Belfast (formerly Urban Mission Initiatives) charity in this training.
We thank our partnerships, especially Wellington Presbyterian Church. Their continued pastoral, prayerful and financial support is invaluable. We also thank Crosscollyer Church for their continued provision of the building on Somerton Road.

2 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated-
Statement of compliance The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK. and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 and the Companies Act 2006.

Going concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity. The trustees have considered both the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements, taking into consideration all relevant factors.

Trinity Church Belfast
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
Judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amount of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Income and endowments
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receiveable can be measured reliably.
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing ofboth the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Page 12
Trinity Church Belfast
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment Josses. The company assesses at each reporting date whether tangible fixed assets are impaired.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Asset class Depreciation method and rate Furniture and equipment 4 years straight line
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Fund structure
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.
Pensions and other post retirement obligations
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
Financial instruments
Classification
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Page 13
Trinity Church Belfast
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
Recognition and measurement
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.
Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
