THE CHURCH'S MINISTRY OF HEALING THE MOUNT

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016).

Objectives and activities

The main objectives of The Church’s Ministry of Healing The Mount, are to enable people to know and receive Christ’s healing power irrespective of their cultural or religious affiliation, through Christian healing, prayer and counselling, delivered in a non-judgemental, accepting, professional, ethical and theologically sound manner. Prayer is at the core of our activities as we endeavour to supplement statutory and church provision by offering a professional counselling service at the ‘point of need’ responding with support in a crisis situation.

The principal activities are:

The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements and performance

The Church’s Ministry of Healing–The Mount continues to demonstrate a cross-community, inter-denominational outreach to those of any faith or none, who are in difficulty and who need help. The Ministry is grounded in the Christian values of hospitality, belonging and wholeness which fosters opportunities for healing, growth and reconciliation at an individual and communal level so that all can reach their fullest potential. This is achieved through a wide range of professional and strictly confidential counselling and support services, which are provided in a private, safe, and non-judgemental environment.

The ministry has been analysed and a summary of the work has been produced and published. The focus now is on sustainability and a governance that reflects the kingdom of God, present and developing within the ministry of healing.

The financial status has been closely monitored, but has shown some modest reduction in donations received in the year. We have adopted an early request pattern in the parish cycle of giving to encourage support for the Ministry, however, the financial situation continues to place the Ministry in a good position. Ongoing expenditure continues to be closely scrutinised and the Board are actively considering additional opportunities for fund raising from events and potential charitable trust or corporate donors, whilst maintaining the independence of the charity to deliver the objectives of the charity.

THE CHURCH'S MINISTRY OF HEALING THE MOUNT

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

The premises continue to be fit for purpose with ongoing maintenance costs incurred in the year. Given the desire to maintain the high standards of accommodation for visitors and clients ongoing maintenance is continually being reviewed to maximise value for money on any spend identified.

Throughout the recent strategic review the frequency of Board meetings has increased to gather and discuss information. The vacancy for administrative matters has been filled with volunteers, and plans are well advanced for advertising the post.

Financial review

The Church’s Ministry of Healing the Mount statement of financial activities is set out on page 7 of the accounts. The figures for the year ended 31 December 2025 show a deficit of £8,838 (2024: deficit £10,671). Income from Donations and Gifts in the year were consistent with previous years £47,207 (2024: £47,330) and continue to reflect the ongoing generosity and faithfulness of our supporters and stakeholders. Total income for the year was broadly in line with the previous year £55,594 (2024: £55,822).

The premises at 162 Upper Knockbreda Road, Belfast, are occupied under a 99-year lease from Church of Ireland Trustees, a charitable company, at a peppercorn rent.

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to no less than three month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has fallen during the year with total funds at 31 December 2025 being £174,123 (2024: £182,961). Total net current assets (representing cash and other net assets less liabilities) at 31 December 2025 had fallen to £100,070 (2024: £103,149) however this still represents a positive and stable position which is actively managed and monitored.

Risk factors

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Plans for future periods

The plans for the future are:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CHURCH’S MINISTRY OF HEALING THE MOUNT

I report on the financial statements of The Church’s Ministry of Healing the Mount for the year ended 31 December 2025, which are set out on pages 7 to 15.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As the charity trustees (and also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Companies Act 2006. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's report

I have examined your charity accounts as required under section 65 of the Charities Act and my examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act.

The examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as charity trustees concerning any such matters.

An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the accounts. The planning and conduct of an audit go beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently, I express no opinion as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner’s statement.

My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention giving me reasonable cause to believe:

  1. That accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 63 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 and 386 of the Companies Act 2006;

  2. That the accounts do not accord with those accounting records;

  3. That the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102); and

  4. That there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination and have no concerns in respect of the matters (1) to (4) listed above and, in connection with following the Directions of the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland, I have found no matters that require drawing to your attention.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

The Church's Ministry of Healing the Mount is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in Northern Ireland. The registered office is 162 Upper Knockbreda Road, Belfast, BT6 9QF.

Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least a period of 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements including consideration of the cash flow requirements during the next 12 month period. Thus, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.

Incoming resources

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Income represents parochial contributions, donations, including donations for counselling, legacy donations, grants, and income from various activities including seminars, quiet days, fundraising and sale of cards, literature, and tapes.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

Resources expended

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure on charitable activities includes costs undertaken to further the purposes of the charity.

The charity considers that all costs incurred relate to charitable activities undertaken and that there are no significant support costs separate from these activities.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Leasehold improvements 4% straight line Fixtures and fittings 25% straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include deposits held at call with banks.

Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including other creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction,

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

There were no critical accounting estimates or judgements made by the Trustees.
