5.2 Performance Against Objectives
All planned objectives for the year were successfully achieved, including delivery of three key programmes across the United Kingdom.
5.3 Beneficiary Reach
Three events were executed, reaching 227 beneficiaries in total: Annual General Meeting (Online-26), Discipleship Retreat (Onsite-43, Online-131), and Diaspora Summit (Online-45). Besides, invites and publicity were done globally to create awareness for all of the meetings. Thus, other denominations in partnership with the Charity, invited the Global Mission coordinator, ministering in International Conventions and Churches preaching and teaching the gospel to many in cities such as London, Manchester, Leeds, Essex, Liverpool, Bottlesford with both onsite and online in attendance. There were over twenty persons who volunteered for different task at different levels to ensure the seamless execution of these programmes.
5.4 Challenges Faced
The principal challenge encountered during the year was limited funding, with income derived solely from member and donations in kind. Trustees managed this by prioritising essential expenditure, maintaining strict budget discipline across all three programmes, and ensuring all planned activities were delivered without incurring a deficit. The charity closed the year with a modest surplus, demonstrating prudent financial stewardship despite constrained resources.
SECTION 6: PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
In the coming year, trustees plan to continue the Annual General Meeting, Discipleship Retreat, Couples retreat, Leadership Training and Diaspora Discipleship Summit, whilst continuing the monthly online discipleship classes in United Kingdom and launching a new Discipleship Class in Canada, extending the charity's reach globally. Trustees intend to pursue grant funding opportunities to diversify income. Governance capacity, trustee recruitment, and strategic partnerships will be developed in line with organisational growth.
SECTION 7: FINANCIAL REVIEW
7.1 Financial Overview
Member contributions brought Potters House Christian Mission £2390.00 in the year ended June 2026. The charity's grassroots funding approach relies on members' generosity and commitment to deliver its humanitarian work. Besides donations in cash and transfer to the bank, there were other supports and contributions in kind that motioned our programme execution.
The charity spent £2100.49 on event costs for the Annual Discipleship Retreat, travel and accommodation costs for coordinating activities across United Kingdom, and other operational costs.
The charity kept its £289.51 surplus as reserves. Given the year's budget problems, the trustees believe this a good achievement, displaying responsible financial stewardship and wise resource management.
The charity's bank account holds £289.51, its full current reserves. Trustees plan to preserve and grow this reserve position in the following year to provide a small financial cushion against uncertainty.

7.3 Reserves Policy
The charity's policy is to maintain a modest level of free reserves sufficient to meet short-term operational needs and provide a basic financial buffer against unexpected costs. At 30 June 2026, free reserves stood at £289.51, representing the charity's entire closing balance. Given the
charity's early stage of development and reliance on member contributions as its sole income source, trustees consider this a prudent starting position. The trustees aim to build reserves incrementally in future years to provide greater financial resilience and reduce vulnerability to fluctuations in income.
7.4 Investment Policy
Potters House Christian Mission does not currently hold any investments. All funds are held in the charity's bank account and are available as free reserves. The trustees will keep this position under review as the charity develops and its financial position strengthens.
7.5 Principal Funding Sources
The charity's sole funding source during the year ended June 2026 was unrestricted member donations, totalling £2390.00. No grants, statutory funding, or fundraising income was received. As all income was unrestricted, trustees exercised full discretion over its use in delivering the charity's purposes. No restricted funds were held during the reporting year.
7.6 Going Concern
The trustees confirm that Potters House Christian Mission is a going concern. This assessment is based on the charity's ability to meet its financial obligations during the year, closing with a surplus of £289.51. Trustees are satisfied the charity has sufficient resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future.
