## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS** 

Report to the trustees of Ewell Christian Fellowship Trust on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021 set out on pages 9 to 20. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The organisation's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The organisation's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 of the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Act,); 

- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act,); and 

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the organisation and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act 

have not been met; or 

- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **EWELL CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

The trustees present their report and account for the year ended 31st March 2021. 

## **Trustees** 

Diane Armstrong continued as chair and was supported by Paul Barnard as Vice Chair, Beth Wilson and Neil Davies. Paul, Beth and Neil gave their intention to resign during 2020, with Neil in July 2020, Beth in September 2020 and Paul in November 2020 for different personal reasons. We recognise the commitment of many years Paul, Beth and Neil have given to the trust and are grateful for their service. In September 2020, we officially appointed three new trustees: Helen Miriam, Lisa Coates and Craig Harman. 

In the beginning of 2020 Diane announced her intention to step down as both Chair and Trustee. This was initially due to take place on 31 March 2021, however with the resignation of the other trustees, it was not possible for her to step down at this time. Diane continued as Chair until the new trustees were established and will officially hand over chair responsibilities with effect from 31 January 2022. She will continue to support the Foodbank and related activities by becoming a trustee of the newly formed Charitable Incorporated Trust. Helen Miriam will assume the responsibilities of Chair of Trustees. 

## **Investment Powers** 

The Trust Deed authorises the trustees to make and hold investments using the general funds of the charity but no such investments are presently held. 

## **Constitution, Objectives and Policy** 

The charity trust is constituted by the Trust Deed and, as a Christian Church, its objectives are to provide for worship, teaching and edification; continue an extensive programme of outreach for young people including children, teenagers and schools’ work; and to provide relief of sickness and poverty in the community. 

The Trust continues to raise its income from the donations of church members and pursues policies of utilising funds in support of people as opposed to buildings, and of giving away 10% of our church income to people and other charitable organisations with whom we work. We have sought and received formal grant funding to support various aspects of our work including the foodbank, elderly persons work, children’s and youth work and for rent of some venues. 

Church activities are overseen by a Senior Leadership (Management) Team, led by Senior Leader, Fran Tarling. 

Foodbank activities are overseen by a Team led by the Managing Director of the Foodbank, Jonathan Lees. 

Day-to-day responsibility for the operation of the office functions and organisation of Foodbank staff is delegated to the Foodbank Managing Director. 

## **Development, Activities and Achievements** 

2020/21 started with the Covid pandemic and we have continued to remain affected by it in all we have done. Relevant financial and working practice policies were reviewed and amendments made in line with the effect of Covid-19 on staff, volunteers and clients. 

Church services and activities were placed on hold due to the lockdown. As restrictions and guidance have been changing so often we decided not to return to weekly services during this reporting period. Regular contact has been maintained with our members and wider church community including young people and Friday Friends guests as regulations and guidance allowed. We used telephone calls, various online and virtual tools including zoom meetings, WhatsApp groups (this worked particularly well to foster a sense of community and enable regular communication amongst the group members) and social media to support, share and communicate with people. In the second half of 2021 we offered monthly outdoor “Pop-Up” events for the church and local community to process the losses over the pandemic. The young people were able to enjoy a residential weekend away in October 2021. Since November 2021 the Friday Friends group has been meeting at a local café, following Covid guidance. 

The foodbank managed the huge surge in demand and also saw an increase in needs of its clients. Since the middle of 2021 the foodbank has seen a slight decline in its demand. The foodbank usage increased from feeding 5,314 in 2019 to over 12,535 in 2020. 2021’s numbers are down on 2020, but still a significant increase on 2019. We continue to explore other projects coming out from its role especially those that join with other aspects of our work i.e. a support service, energy support and top ups, furniture bank and the Poverty Truth Commission. 

Our staffing levels have remained consistent with previous year. We have 1 full time role and 8 part time roles across the church, foodbank and Friday Friends.

## **EWELL CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

Developments undertaken in 2020/21 have been: 

- Missional activities: Very few ad hoc church events due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the foodbank fed more people as indicated with the figures above. In 2020 we saw a 236% increase in foodbank demand on 2019. We have continued to support the work of a church in Kenya as they challenge the lack of inclusion of those with disabilities and mental health issues. 

- Young People: This has continued, virtually and face to face as guidance and restrictions allowed, throughout the year supported by church volunteers. 

- Friday Friends, which had previously flourished, unfortunately had to be put on hold due to the vulnerability of clients. There were no meetings, but regular communications from the team with clients by phone and doorstep / garden visits as restrictions allowed. 

- Community and Churches Together: We have remained part of the local network and been active participants in various events from schools work with Spinnaker to prayer events. The annual joint churches together event was unable to go ahead due to Covid. 

- We continue to lead and facilitate the Epsom & Ewell Foodbank, and it continues to be supported and aided by local churches, agencies and local people. We gave out over 147 tonnes of food in 2020. In April 2020 we were severely impacted by the national lockdown and were required to change practices and procedures to keep staff, volunteers and clients as safe as possible. As the year progressed we continued to meet to the demands placed on the foodbank. 

- The Epsom & Ewell Refugee Network continues to grow and we remain passionate supporters of the work. Sadly the needs and numbers of refugees has continued to increase and that work is becoming more busy. 

- To finish, we spent a long time negotiating a new lease with Surrey County Council for the office building. This was a slow process but we have finally seen it completed. 

## **Financial Review** 

The trustees consider the performance of the charity to be satisfactory and the continuation of donations has made it sustainable.  Funds have been raised via tithes, grants and donations. 

This meant that as at 31st March 2021 the paid employees were one senior leader (working 3 hours a week), one full time member of staff who covered all foodbank/poverty related work and trust activities, one admin support at 12 hours a week, one admin support worker for 5 hours a week (from 18th March 2021) a Friday Friends co-ordinator for 8 hours a week, one foodbank admin role at 30 hours a week (from 12th September 2020), one foodbank / commission support worker for 28 hours a week, one support role at 18 hours per week (from September 2020), one logistics manager – foodbank at 30 hours per week (from September 2020). Our Poverty Truth Commission facilitator on 25 hours left in August 2020. We have a policy of keeping two / three months’ pay and other operational costs in reserve. 

The main regular income for the church activity comes from the church members. 

The main Foodbank income comes from our usual sources including Community Foundation for Surrey, local housing associations, Surrey County Council, local projects as their charity of the year (these have been for the foodbank), Trussell Trust and various other grant-making trust bodies to offset hiring premises, activities, some transport costs and the running of the foodbank. Our funds can allow us to continue the activities of the trust in the medium term. Cash balances allow us to meet monthly salaries for some time without an issue, and given the make-up and mix of our current donation profile the trustees have the opinion that the level of cash balance is acceptable. We would like to acknowledge our appreciation to Community Foundation for Surrey, Raven Housing, Rosebery Housing, Clarion Housing, Asda, Trussell Trust, Power Networks and many local corporates including Toyota, Pfizer, Exxon, Wilsons as well as countless local schools, churches and business for their support. 

All our banking is done via CAF Bank. This has proved to be an efficient and effective process.

## **TRUSTEES REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **Future Plans for 2020/21** 

In line with the sustainability of the developments from last year we look to continue to work into and expand these. Other future developments are: 

## Trust 

- To explore the creation of a new Trust due to the growth of the foodbank and its work. Over Covid we have seen donations rise as many people couldn’t donate food. This has seen our finances increase and we are aware that the work of the foodbank and its various activities has grown astronomically in relation to the church activity and finances. We believe that the establishment of a new trust will provide for a better structure to address poverty in our community. It will also give release to the church activities and some of the growing concern of trustees to address the growing issues around the foodbank, poverty and refugee activities. 

- We will continue to be stringent in keeping health and safety procedures, child protection policies and DBS checks up to date and the necessary implementation and training undertaken by all appropriate personnel, with risk assessments undertaken when indicated as necessary. 

- We will explore the use of the GRC in relation to the foodbank activities to improve the use of space for staff, storage and dealing with all foodbank related activities. and whether they can be incorporated. 

## Church 

- The leadership team will continue to review activities, as the Covid pandemic continues. We want to serve the church and local community in these challenging times. 

- We invested resources for a grant and want to reapply for the upcoming year for Friday Friends. 

- We will continue to maintain contact with Friday Friends’ guests as restrictions, guidance and volunteers allow. 

- · Host a series of outside events to help the church and local community come to terms with the effects of grief related to the Covid-19 pandemic and provide hope for the future. 

- · Continue to be actively involved in our local Churches Together group and support activities as Covid allows · Continue to support a church in Kenya both spiritually and financially. 

## Foodbank 

- We want to respond to the growing demands of the foodbank work by developing new projects and are considering the staffing levels for the project. The key aspect being to explore the roots of poverty and what can be done about it. This would be a partnership project with other local community and business partners. This is an ongoing agenda but started by our work with the Poverty Truth Commission, the first of its kind in the South of England. 

- We continue to support the local refugee network started from our trust. 

- To develop the furniture recycling project. 

- · To explore the creation of a Pantry shop idea in partnership with the council. · To join Trussell’s new Pathfinder programme which will allow us funding to employ some new staff to address the local needs 

- To develop the mission and strategic plans of the foodbank. 

## **Trustees Responsibilities** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of accounting practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; 

- Prepare financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the trust will continue in existence. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the Trust Deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **EWELL CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **Basis of preparation:** 

The financial statements of the charity have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS102)) and applicable accounting standards. 

Ewell Christian Fellowship meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

## Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis 

Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees are of the view that the level of reserves will support the charity going forward. 

## Changes to accounting estimates 

No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period. 

## _Material prior period errors_ 

No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period. 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Income** 

## _Recognition of Income_ 

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when: 

▪ the charity becomes entitled to the income; 

▪ it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and 

▪ the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability 

## _Income with related expenditure_ 

Where income has related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the income and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA. 

## _Grants and Donations_ 

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP). 

## _Tax reclaims on Donations and Gifts_ 

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. 

## _Donated Goods_ 

Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. 

The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. 

Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from  sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. 

Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. 

11 



## **EWELL CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## _Offsetting_ 

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. 

## _Government Grants_ 

The charity has not received government grants in the reporting period. 

## _Volunteer Help_ 

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the Directors' annual report. 

## _Income from interest, royalties and dividends_ 

This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. 

## **Expenditure and liabilities** 

## _Liability recognition_ 

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. 

## _Governance Costs_ 

Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of the trustees meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters. 

## _Support Costs_ 

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, e.g. allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. 

## _Taxation_ 

The trust is a registered charity and is exempt from taxation on its charitable activities. 

## _Stocks and work in progress_ 

Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable value. 

## _Debtors_ 

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. 

## _Creditors_ 

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. 

## _Fixed Assets_ 

Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity: 

These are capitalised if they cost over £1,000 and can be used for more than one year. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt. 

Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives. The rates applied per annum are as follows: 

Office equipment 25% reducing balance Motor Vehicles 20% straight line 

The income relating to activities (page 13) and expenditure relating to project and event costs (page 14) are in respect of conferences and week-end meetings and other youth group activities and initiatives.

## **14. RISK ASSESSMENT** 

The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks. 

## **15. RESERVES POLICY** 

The trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs. This is based on the charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The trustees aim to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily. 

## **16. PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

The charity acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for the public benefit. Details of how the charity has achieved this are provided in the Trustees report. The trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
