Jubilee Church Shepperton Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2023
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Charity
Shepperton Community Church was registered under a Deed of Trust on 7 July 1993 with the registration number 1023505 originally with the name Shepperton Christian Fellowship. The name Shepperton Community Church was adopted in April 1995. In the autumn of 2009, the Charity Commission approved the use of the working name Jubilee Church Shepperton and in October 2012 approved the additional working name of Debtscape Shepperton. The Deed of Trust was amended with a Supplemental Deed of Trust on 1 October 2013. Jubilee Church Shepperton is part of Commission, a Sphere of the Newfrontiers family of churches, and a member of the Evangelical Alliance.
Recruitment, induction, and training of new Trustees
The Trust Deed specifies that all Trustees are appointed by the Elders. Trustees attend training courses when suitable courses are identified. They also receive copies of the Charity Commission News when they are published.
Trust Management
Within the church the primary decision-making body is the Eldership, and it is the role of the Trustees to implement their policy whilst ensuring that at all times adherence to the requirements of both the Trust Deed and relevant legislation is maintained. The Elders together govern the church, and the Trustees implement the policy decisions of the Elders. Mr D Webb-Peploe and Mrs J Jones are the only remunerated Trustees.
Risk management
The Trustees regularly review the risks associated with the charity. Financially this is achieved by setting an annual budget for unrestricted funds. The Trustees use budget holders for different areas of the church to assist in the budget setting and monitoring process. However, the ultimate responsibility still lies with the Elders and Trustees.
The financial position of the Trust is regularly reviewed by means of the treasurer providing the Trustees and Elders with management accounts of both spend against budget and income figures on a monthly basis. The Trustees have a number of policy documents in place to manage the charity and premises, these are currently being reviewed and updated. General risks are covered with two insurance policies. The first is a general insurance policy designed for churches without premises (in addition Thamesmead School provides insurance cover for the building) which includes Trustees’ Liability Insurance which provides a limit of indemnity of £100,000. This insurance policy is with Ansvar Insurance. There is also a Professional Indemnity Insurance policy with Markel International Insurance Company Limited which provides a Professional Indemnity limit of indemnity of £1,000,000 and Management Liability limit of indemnity of £500,000 to cover the work of Debtscape Shepperton. (Although Debtscape closed in October 2021 we are required to hold run off insurance for 7 years)
The Trustees undertake a Health and Safety survey of the premises regularly. We have reviewed the data protection legislation and are registered with the ICO for the work of Debtscape Shepperton and the Church. We have a Safeguarding Lead and Deputy Safeguarding Lead who are both members of the church, and not Trustees. The church continues to be a member of thirtyone:eight. The church continues with its policy of DBS checks for all children and youth workers and for those working with vulnerable adults. There was also a requirement that all Debt Advisors with Debtscape Shepperton were checked. We check all new workers and existing workers; trustees and Elders are rechecked regularly.
Since March 2020 we have experienced the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The majority of our income is received by Standing Orders and BACS payments, some income that was previously received via the collection baskets on Sunday mornings moved to being sent by BACS or Standing Orders. Towards the end of 2021 this began to impact on our income as people moved churches following the lifting of restrictions. Trustees therefore took the decision to temporarily reduce the hours of the Lead Elder and Youth and Children’s Coordinator by 1 day a week from January 2022 and from June 2022 the Treasurer and Communications Coordinator’s hours were also reduced by 1 day a week to reduce staffing costs. The Treasurer resigned in August 2023 and the role was taken over on voluntary basis. Should the situation change further we have sufficient reserves to enable us to continue with our objectives for several months, this is being kept under regular review by trustees.
Public Benefit
We continue to review the activities of the church in order to identify ways in which we can provide a greater service to the community in which it is situated.
Although there has been an impact on our activities since March 2020 the church has continued to provide public benefit in numerous ways which include the following activities: -
- Jublees - is a Mother and Toddler group which is attended by mothers and fathers from the local community who do not attend the church. Jublees ran with a reduced capacity and pre-booking requirement to manage numbers attending until April 2022 when restrictions were removed.
2
Jubilee Church Shepperton Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2023
Public Benefit (continued)
-
Alpha courses - enable non-believers or those on the threshold of faith to learn about issues of faith and to bring their own questions and voice their personal concerns in a non-threatening atmosphere. No courses were run in 2023.
-
Oak Tree Café - The church runs a weekly small group for those with mental health issues. It is open to anyone in the local community.
-
Bags of Food - The church runs a food bank project called Bags of Food. This involves providing people, predominantly families, who are in need with bags of food and hygiene items. This has escalated since the Covid-19 pandemic and we have taken responsibility for the TW17 postcode. The local community has supported this project with significant and regular donations (of both food and finances) throughout the Covid 19 pandemic and now cost of living crisis.
-
Bags of Christmas - The church has a Christmas Hamper project. Since 2020 this has been rebranded as Bags of Christmas to run alongside Bags of Food. In December 2023 the church gave boxes to about 66 households in need in the local community, these contained food supplies as well as other Christmas treats. We were given food by local schools, members of the church and the community. Local businesses also supplied some donations of food and financial support.
-
Warm Hub - From January to March 2023 we ran a Warm Hub in the Jubilee Centre. The lounge was open for 3 hours once a week and was open to anyone in the local community.
-
Bread café - During 2023, arising out of the kindness of the Cavan Bakery who kindly donate surplus bread and cakes for collection and distribution at the Food Bank, the church started the Bread Café, a new venture to support people who are lonely with refreshments and an opportunity to come and chat.
In these ways, the Trustees have complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to the guidance issued by the charity Commission in respect of public benefit.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
During the last year, the church has continued to fulfil the objectives of the charity, which are:
-
to advance the Christian Religion by proclaiming the gospel of God and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and to preach and teach the Christian Faith.
-
to relieve poverty, hardship, and distress in such matter as the Trustees shall from time to time decide.
-
to advance education whether of children (above or below compulsory school age) or of adults.
Significant activities
These objectives have been achieved by holding regular weekly worship services on Sunday mornings.
Small group meetings take place mid-week, the majority of groups meet in person with a minority preferring to use online means. These give members of the church opportunities to worship God and to be taught the Christian faith. The proclamation of the Gospel to non-believers has been undertaken through the church services, small group meetings, outreach events including a programme of social action and, in particular, through Alpha courses. Alpha courses enable non-believers, or those on the threshold of faith, to learn about issues of faith and to bring their own questions and voice their personal concerns in a non-threatening atmosphere. Bags of Food, has been a significant activity within the local community since 2020.
There are currently four small groups, which give opportunity for members to explore faith further, to develop closer relationships within the church and to provide another forum through which to introduce non-Christian friends to the Gospel. One of these is for young people.
During the last year, the church has continued its activities within the local community. The Mother and Toddler group (Jublees) that runs one morning a week at The Jubilee Centre is managed by one of our church members who is a primary school teacher. The church also runs a support group for those with mental health issues (Oak Tree Café) and this is open to anyone in the local community.
The church has a Christmas Hamper project (Bags of Christmas), in December 2023 the church gave boxes to about 66 households in need in the local community. We were given Christmas food and luxuries by members of the church, the local community and local schools. Local businesses also supplied some donations of food and money. The boxes consisted of Christmas food and luxuries which the recipients may not have been able to afford. The recipients were mainly referrals from Bags of Food and local schools.

Jubilee Church Shepperton Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2023
Significant activities (continued)
Since March 2020 our Bags of Food project has served as the food bank for the TW17 area. This involves giving people, predominantly families, who are in need bags of food. Food is collected and delivered on a weekly basis with volunteers sorting and packing during the week. Food is given by members of the church as well as the local community with volunteers coming from within the community as well as the church. A local bakery also donates their leftover goods one day a week. Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have seen increased demand and support for this service. This demand is now continuing through the cost of living crisis. Bags of Food receives referrals from local schools, job centres, social services and other agencies. We have also received support in terms of donations of food, money and time from the local community, local groups and businesses which has enabled us to provide food and hygiene items to those in need.
From January to March 2023 we ran a Warm Hub in the Jubilee Centre. The lounge was open for 3 hours once a week and was open to anyone in the local community.
During 2023, arising out of the kindness of the Cavan Bakery who kindly donate surplus bread and cakes for collection and distribution at the Food Bank, the church started the Bread Café, a new venture to support local people who are lonely with refreshments and an opportunity to come and chat.
The Trustees agreed to our Lead Elder (Dave Webb-Peploe) taking a year’s Compassionate leave from 1st October 2022 until 30th September 2023. It was agreed that he will be paid 50% of his salary during this time. He has also stepped down as a Trustee during this time. Tim Cowles has stepped in as Lead Elder in a voluntary capacity and therefore does not receive a salary for this role, he formally stepped down in September 2023 as Lead Elder with the Elders sharing the responsibility pending the appointment of a new pastor (in 2024).
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Jubilee Church Shepperton continues with all the normal church activities as well as those listed as benefits to the community. The Mother and Toddler group (Jublees) continues to thrive. Oak Tree Café has grown and usually has 15 to 20 attendees each week. The church has a Christmas Hamper project (Bags of Christmas), in December 2023 the church gave boxes to about 66 households in need in the local community. The Bags of Food project has been very successful in meeting the needs of people and predominantly families who are in need in the local community by giving them bags of food. The Warm Hub had about 6 attendees. The Elders are always looking for new projects that will benefit the community, particularly where social justice is involved.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The largest item of expenditure continues to be Ministry expenses, and these include gifts to visiting preachers. Expenditure on Ministry fees this year has been £41,898 (33.9%) of the church’s unrestricted income, mainly salaries for the Lead Elder (Mr D Webb-Peploe), Children’s Work Coordinator (Mrs J Jones) and Treasurer and Communications Coordinator (Mrs J Wilsher). Although these several of these stopped during the year.
The heading ‘Missionary and charitable giving’ shows £6,582 (5.5%) of the church’s unrestricted income was given to other organisations and individuals for the relief of poverty. The restricted funds under the heading ‘Missionary and wider gifts’ are specific gifts, which have been given in support of other charities and individuals. The only recipients of the unrestricted gifts were Commission. Commission is a family of churches in the UK and other nations led by Guy Miller and his team. It is passionate about planting churches, equipping the Saints, training leaders, reaching the unreached and caring for the poor with which the charity is associated, and which helps the development of like-minded churches throughout the world.
The premises continues to be a shared facility with Thamesmead School, which is using the main hall as a drama facility during school time, in return for which the land is leased to the charity at a nominal rent and we continue to be able to use the school classrooms rent-free on Sundays.
In addition, to minimise costs and risks associated with the building project, the Trust appointed Jubilee Centre Developments Limited (“JCDL”) as the development company to deliver the completed project to the Trust. This company is limited by share capital and registered in England and Wales. Mr D Webb-Peploe is the only director and shareholder. This company is no longer trading, having fulfilled its purpose and contract to the Trust. The church also has a further account known as New Covenant Trust. This account is for the benefit of the members if and when they face financial hardship. It is not a trust fund and is not related to the church’s trust funds, and accordingly, has not been included in these accounts.

RESERVES POLICIES
The terms of the Trust Deed allow the Trustees to invest monies in stocks and shares or other investments or property. Alternatively, the monies may be left invested on deposit at a bank as the Trustees see fit. The major source of monies that the church has had at its disposal to invest during the last year has been the general funds. In these circumstances the Trustees have invested the money in a deposit account which currently gives the best rate for practical operations.
The church’s income reserves policy is to aim to have £10,000 of general funds available to meet current needs.
At the end of the reporting period, the church had £74,152 in unrestricted funds. In addition, the church had restricted funds totalling £522,256 consisting of the building fund of £473,682 the Bags of Food fund of £48,465 and the Christmas Hampers fund (Bags of Christmas) of £109.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Jubilee Church Shepperton for the year ended 31 December 2023
Independent Examiner’s report to the Trustees of Jubilee Church Shepperton
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023, which are set out on pages seven to sixteen.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity 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 you as 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 other than that disclosed below
-
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 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act and the regulations made thereunder
-
have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Your attention is to drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts (financial statements) in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn. We understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
No other matter has come to my attention in connection with my examination to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1.2 Statement of Compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
1.3 Basis of preparation
The objectives of the charity are to advance the Christian Religion, relieve poverty, hardship and distress, and to advance education. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Monetary amounts within the financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
1.4 Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The Trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements, and they are of the view that the level of reserves will support the charity going forward.
1.5 Significant judgements and estimates
In the opinion of the Trustees, no significant judgements or estimates were made during the preparation of the financial statements that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
1.6 Income
Income recognition
Income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:

-
it is more likely than not that the Trustees will receive the resources; and

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( continued )
1.7 Expenditure
Expenditure
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category.
Governance and support costs
Support and governance costs incurred are apportioned across the charitable activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Grants payable without performance conditions
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised.
1.8 Basic financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. Financial assets held at amortised cost comprise cash at bank and in hand, together with other debtors. Cash at bank and in hand is defined as all cash held in instant access bank accounts and used as working capital. Financial liabilities held at amortised cost comprise all creditors except social security and other taxes.
1.9 Tangible fixed assets
All assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised and valued at historical cost.
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Leasehold property - 2% on cost Fittings and equipment - 20% on cost Solar panels - straight line over 15 years
1.10 Taxation
The charity is a registered charity and is exempt under Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 on its income and section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 on its capital gains.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
1.8 Operating leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
1.9 Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the Trustees. Designated funds represent funds earmarked for specific reasons as decided by the Trustees. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
1.10 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a maturity of one year from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
1.11 Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
1.12 Pension costs
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable for the year are charged to the SoFA in the period to which they relate.
