THE CHRISTIAN CONFERENCE TRUST
We promote the Christian faith by providing residential and day conference facilities at below commercial rates to Christian organisations.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity generated a total income of £11.4m and a net surplus of £1.02m for the year ended October 2025. However, the trustees report negative free reserves of £2.6m against a policy target of £2.1m-£2.6m, noting this is offset by £3.4m in deferred income from a pay-in-advance model. The trustees are committed to restoring free reserves to the target level by 2030 through cost management and investment.
What the accounts disclose
“The aggregate level of target free reserves has been set prudently and totals £2.1m-£2.6m (seasonally dependent).”
