Significant events

• “In December 2024, one of our staff team members, and an elder of the church (Steve Cornford), sadly lost his wife after an 18-month illness with cancer.”
• “Kieran Dunne, also on the staff team, took a three-month sabbatical and returned in a different role. Sadly, however, Kieran was involved in a serious car accident in December, which resulted in him being left unconscious and with some broken bones.”
• “After 18 months in the role, Victoria Asterley resigned from her role as the King's Debt Advice Centre Manager to return to full-time employment.”
• “Our Worship Team Leader, Dan Lank, also stepped off the staff team to pursue his own business on a full-time basis.”
• “Carl Jones who had served as Trustee superbly but stood down as a result of moving out of the area.”
• “It was necessary, therefore, to strengthen certain areas of church life. This has resulted in us appointing a new Trustee - Daniellia Kunnath.”
• “We have also added a bi-vocational elder to the eldership team - Arif Mohamed.”
• “We have taken active steps this year to pay off one of the two mortgages that we have.”
• “a legacy gift of some £50,000 has been pledged to the church which is an incredibly generous act that will go some way to boosting our cash reserves.”
• “We have also benefitted from a significant grant that has been awarded to us that enabled us to upgrade every light fitting in The King's Centre to LED.”
• “Subsequent to the financial year-end, the charity disposed of a significant portion of its property at 12 Mill Road, Burgess Hill through a trust arrangement involving a number of third-party investors.”
• “The proceeds received from the third-party investors were applied to the repayment of one of the charity's bank loans, which was settled in full in July 2025.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
