REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. 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 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). |
The year ending March 2024 has been a year of opportunities for Revival Church Billericay. It has been a year in which we have seen the goodness of God manifest in so many situations and in so many individuals' lives. |
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
Objectives and aims |
Our main objectives for the year ending 31st March 2024 continued to be: |
1. | The advancement of the Christian faith |
Strategies: In-person and online teaching in both small and large groups. |
2. | Christian Education |
Strategies: Small groups meeting online and in-person, Sunday teaching and other events with Christian speakers. |
3. | The relief of people suffering (hardship or sickness and the distress caused by it) |
Strategies: Pastoral care, giving to other charities that support the relief of suffering e.g. Maoz Israel and Open Doors. Expanding the work of Baby Basics Billericay in our community and using the Relief Fund to provide financial assistance for those in the church family and connected to it who have financial challenges. Healing Rooms @ Costa operated until August 2023. |
4. | Supporting other community facilities and provisions |
Strategies: Supporting Billericay Street Pastors, Schools Ministry Billericay, Schools Pastors and Billericay Foodbank, Baby Basics Billericay. |
HOW OUR ACTIVITIES DELIVER PUBLIC BENEFIT |
We have actively supported the work of Billericay Street Pastors, with individuals in the church volunteering time on Friday evenings and in prayer. |
We have also supported the work of Schools Ministry Billericay financially, prayerfully and in individuals from the church volunteering their time to support this work. |
We have actively supported the work of Schools Pastors at The Billericay School and Mayflower School by individuals volunteering to be part of the project and in prayer. |
We have supported Billericay Foodbank with individuals from the church volunteering to support the distribution of food to needy families in our surrounding area. |
The Baby Basics Billericay project has seen a large increase in referrals in the last 12 months. This is as a result of a widening group of referrers and the cost-of-living crisis that the nation is currently experiencing. |
Healing Rooms @ Costa in Billericay continued until August 2023 to provide an opportunity for anyone from the community to come and get prayer from the interdenominational team on a Wednesday afternoon. |
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and complied with section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. |
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
Charitable activities |
Sunday Mornings |
We continue to meet at the Chantry Centre in Billericay on a fortnightly basis. We have five age-specific groups for children and young people after our corporate time of worship. Where possible, the adults and children follow the same teaching theme. |
Members of the church family also have the opportunity to be part of a small group (Connect Groups) and there is also a group for the young people to connect once a month. |
The Connect Groups aim to meet on the alternative weeks when we are not gathering at the Chantry Centre. |
Throughout the year we have had several external speakers at the Chantry Centre. |

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
Congregational activities |
Our Sunday morning gatherings at the Chantry Centre continue to be a focal point for the church family. We have seen numerous visitors over the year and many of them have become part of the church family. The majority of the teaching is done by leaders within the church family but we have also had others speaking including Tim Dieppe from Christian Concern and Greg O'Dell from South Africa. |
In October we invited Mark Arnold from Urban Saints to lead a training afternoon on making church accessible for those with additional needs. This was open to all the children and youth leaders as well as parents. It was a really helpful afternoon and one of the actions taken was to appoint an additional needs champion in the life of the church. |
The children and youth leaders meet every term with the senior pastors. The sessions are really helpful to share ideas, pray and envision the team. |
The Connect Groups continue to meet to facilitate building up of relationships and support through prayer. New people joining the church have been assimilated into the existing groups. |
The senior pastors have led Connect Group Leaders' meetings every three months to facilitate the sharing of what is working well in the groups and to pray for and encourage the leaders. The Connect Group leaders have also been assigned a senior leader who they meet with on a regular basis to support and strengthen their leadership. |
Senior Pastors, Jane and Andy Robb, meet with the church's Key Leaders on a regular basis to strategise, pray and plan events. |
Regarding the prayer life of the church, there is a regular monthly online prayer gathering. |
Revival Church Billericay has also continued to lead the Love Billericay prayer initiative this year. There is a monthly prayer gathering at the Chantry Centre that is advertised to all the churches in the town. It provides an opportunity for all the Christians in the town to gather and pray for the town and God's plans and purposes. |
There was a group that studied the book of Revelation using material produced by Derek Walker lead pastor of Oxford Bible Church. The group of up to ten people met fortnightly over eleven months. |
In May we had an amazing time at Mayflower High School pool where four people were baptised. This was followed by a picnic at Lake Meadows. |
We held a Church Day Out in July 2023 that created a great opportunity for the church family to gather in the beautiful surroundings of Pilgrims Hall. It was a fun day with plenty of opportunities for connection. There were organised craft activities for all and after a picnic lunch everyone participated in team games. The Revive Spiritual Spa team were also there to showcase to the church family what the ministry involves and also minister to those who were there. |
There have also been other opportunities throughout the year for the church family to meet socially including a family event held in November to celebrate the church's 11th birthday. Steve Legg, a Christian comedian, provided entertainment after the church family had enjoyed a bring-and-share tea together. |
During the year we held two prophetic training events that were open to the church family. |
In the summer a number of parents attended a Care for the Family parenting course for teenagers. This was led by Andy and Jane using the online material provided by Care for the Family. The feedback from those who attended was very encouraging and we will definitely use this material again. |
Throughout the year the pastoral support of individuals in the church has continued on a one-to-one basis as needed. |
The Relief Fund continues to provide small financial gifts to those in need. |

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
Community / Outreach Activities |
We have continued to support the work of Billericay Street Pastors in the past year. Several individuals from Revival Church Billericay are actively involved in this. The work of Street Pastors is much valued and appreciated by the town. |
Our support of Schools Ministry Billericay and School Pastors has also continued this year, both financially and prayerfully. |
As mentioned previously, Baby Basics Billericay has continued to grow over the last 12 months, and donations from our local community have enabled us to help many mothers in need. We have had really encouraging feedback from the midwives, health visitors, social workers and other professionals who use our service. From April 2023 to March 2024 Baby Basics has supported 109 children. From September a Project Coordinator Role was funded 1 day a week for 12 months via a grant from Essex Community Foundation. This role has enabled more grants to be applied for and greater community contacts to be made. Two new volunteers have been added to the team this year. Despite the increased rate of referrals there have always been sufficient donations and funds to provide what is needed for every referral. |
Healing Rooms @ Costa in Billericay is another outreach initiative of the church. This operated until August 2023. |
The team are mainly from Revival Church Billericay, but other Billericay churches are also represented. |
The Revive Spiritual Spa has ministered at several events throughout the year, including Billericay Summerfest, The Love Essex event in Southend, the Christmas Market in Billericay, the Spirit, Soul and Wellbeing Festival in Ramsden Health, two Care4Calais meetings, a wellbeing event led by Schools Ministry in Billericay for a local schools' staff and RCB Church Day Out. |
In December 2023 Revival Church Billericay signed a sub-lease agreement with Billericay Street Pastors for 10 The High Street, Billericay. Renovation work has been underway since January 2024, and we are aiming for a launch date of June 2024. The Centre will be used as a base for weekday events for the church such as prayer and worship meetings, small group meetings, as well as outreach activities for our local community. Also, in January 2024, it became the new home for the church office and Billericay Baby Basics. On 4th April 2024 8-10 High Street Billericay was the subject of an arson attack. The fire caused significant damage to the church office and Billericay Baby Basics. The space that the church had been renovating was relatively unaffected by the fire except for minimal smoke damage that will be dealt with by the landlord's deep clean of the building. The landlord has provided temporary accommodation for Billericay Baby Basics and the church office in a vacant office on the first floor of the building. This has enabled the work of Billericay Baby Basics to continue unaffected and similarly the church office is functioning as before. |
The landlord's building insurance is covering the cost of the building repairs required, Revival Church Billericay's contents insurance is covering the cost of the stock and contents that were damaged by the fire. |
Whilst the fire at the High Street premises has delayed the initiation of some new projects it has not impacted the current activities of the church in a negative way. There has been tremendous support from both local churches and the community and has increased awareness of the work of Revival Church Billericay. |
Sunday morning gatherings remain unaffected as these occur in a different building. |

FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Financial position |
Banking and bookkeeping were carried out by Susan Cormack during the year. |
We have maintained a healthy financial position during the past twelve months that we are very grateful to God for. |
The closing balance of the Revival Church Billericay bank account on 31st March 2024 was £76,133. |
Of that, £12,369 was designated for Baby Basics Billericay. The monies held in the church Building Fund account with Kingdom Bank was £24,415. |
Revival Church Billericay has a Finance Policy and a Reserves Policy. |
It was agreed at our Trustees meeting in January 2024 that the level of reserves should be increased to £14,000. This is three months' running costs for Revival Church Billericay. |
Principle Funding Sources |
Currently, funding comes primarily from personal donations to the church, supplemented by monies recovered from HMRC under the Gift Aid scheme. |
Grants that have been applied for by Baby Basics are designated as restricted funds for their use only. |
The monies for the renovation work have moved from the Kingdom Bank account. These monies were restricted for use for buying or renovating a building. |
FUTURE PLANS |
In the coming year we plan to continue supporting Billericay Street Pastors, School Pastors, Schools Ministry Billericay and Billericay Baby Basics. |
We will continue to build relationship with the other churches in the town and to support the work of Churches Together in Billericay. |
The launch of the premises in Billericay High Street in collaboration with Billericay Street Pastors will be in June 2024. This space will provide many opportunities for Revival Church Billericay to bless the town. |
In the coming year we are looking forward to new opportunities to minister God's love and power in our community and region. |

14. | POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS |
On the afternoon of 4th April there was an arson attack on the premises occupied by the Charity. This caused significant damage to Billericay Baby Basics and the Revival Church Billericay Office as well as other charities and businesses operating out of the two storey building affected. This has meant we have been operating out of temporary accommodation but due to the support and donations we have received as a charity it has not overall resulted in a negative financial impact. |
