ANTIOCH NETWORK MANCHESTER
The objectives of the Antioch Network are to develop and sustain Christian Mission to support and strengthen the work and ministry of the Church of England in the Diocese of Manchester, by planting small churches in areas of social and economic deprivation and multicultural diversity. Service of worship, prayer, pastoral support and reaching out to those in need will be the main activities.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves of £76,574 were held at the end of the period, which the trustees confirmed was in excess of their target policy. While the charity reported a net movement in funds and no material deficits, the trustees noted a dependency on primary grant funding from the Church Commissioners, emphasizing the critical nature of maintaining these strategic relationships.
What the accounts disclose
“The Trustees have no current concerns about our ongoing or projected future funding position, but are aware that our reliance on one primary source of funding means that maintaining strong strategic relationships with our funding partner remains critical.”
“Our primary source of funds is two grants from the Church Commissioners of the Church of England which run until 31st December 2026 and 31st December 2028.”
