IPSWICH CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP
We are a small fellowship of believers who meet every Sunday in the Name of the Lord Jesus in Ipswich. We believe in the Bible as the inspired word of God and seek through it to know, love and obey Jesus Christ more fully, and to share the gospel of the Lord Jesus in Ipswich and beyond.
Objects
THE OBJECT OF THE CIO IS, FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT, THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN FAITH IN IPSWICH, SUFFOLK AND SUCH OTHER PARTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM AND THE WORLD AS THE CHARITY TRUSTEES MAY FROM TIME TO TIME DECIDE.
Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus of £454,975 for the period, driven largely by the receipt of a donated property valued at £450,000. However, the charity held net current liabilities of £476, primarily due to a £7,500 loan from a trustee which is not repayable until cash flow allows. The trustees confirm the charity remains financially viable and has adequate resources to continue operations.
What the accounts disclose

“During the period, a trustee provided an interest-free loan of £7,500 to the charity to assist with the acquisition of Kemball Street Gospel Hall. The loan was provided on 16 January 2024 and is repayable on demand and only when the charity's cash flow permits. The balance outstanding at the year-end was £7,500 and this is included in other creditors in note 13 of the financial statements. The loan was made on terms no more favourable than those available to the charity from commercial sources.” — page 15
