## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT**
## **The Trustees present their report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024.**
Field Vineyard is constituted as a Private Charitable Company, limited by guarantee and is governed by the terms of the Principal Trust Deed and its Memorandum and Articles of Association. There are therefore no shares in issue.
The Trust's accounts and Annual Report are required to comply with the requirements of Companies and Charities legislation and have therefore been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 1993 and the Revised Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting by Charities. (SORP FRS 102).
This Annual Report forms the Trustees' report for the purpose of Section 45 of the Charities Act 1993 and the Directors report for the purposes of Section 234 of the Companies Act 1985.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
## **Leadership Structure**
Caleb Pedersen and Jess Pedersen are the Senior Pastors of Field Vineyard, with Tim & Julie Cole forming the leadership team. Tom Hope joined the leadership team in September 2024. The role of this team is to support Caleb & Jess in leading the church, to oversee pastoral care within the church and to help to make decisions which arise regarding church life.
## **Trustee Board**
In 2024 the Trustee Board met quarterly. Jacqui Crawley is Chairperson for the Trustees. Caleb Pedersen, Claire Nelson, Tom Hope and Barney Mead continued as trustees. Alan Foster stepped down from the board in September 2024.
Trustees are appointed on the basis of expertise and need, to manage the financial, legal and administration of the company. All the trustees are members or former members of Field Vineyard and the group as a whole consult widely with experts, where necessary, about emerging issues affecting Field Vineyard. New trustees are primarily sought from within Field Vineyard.
The Senior Pastor and Board of Trustees are entitled by the trusts of the charity to appoint one or more new charity trustees as laid out in the Articles of Association of Field Vineyard.
2
Upon appointment they are given an overview as to the current status of the company by one of the existing trustees. They are given an orientation document which includes Roles and Responsibilities of Trustees, Articles of Association and Trustees Annual Report and Accounts. Ongoing training is made available as the need arises.
## **Staff Team**
There is a staff team consisting of Caleb Pedersen and Jess Pedersen, both in the role as Senior Pastor. Florence Neave joined the team in January 2024 to assist with children and youth. She finished in her Vineyard Kids role in July 2024 but continues to support Field’s Youth events.
Field Vineyard works closely with its sister church Severn Vineyard, which has been providing two members of staff within a Business Services Team model. These include Liz Nixon, providing business management support and Caleb Bourne, also working with Field Vineyard’s youth.
The role of the staff team is to facilitate involvement of members of Field Vineyard in the life of the church and service in the wider community.
## **Other**
Field Vineyard is a member of the Association of Vineyard Churches in the UK and as a charitable company is accountable to the regional overseer for Vineyard Churches UK in the Southwest and Wales.
The charity has undertaken a risk assessment to identify the risks to which the staff, board and the church are exposed. This is continually reviewed, and systems are in place to manage those risks.
Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks are carried out on a 3-year rotation, including all staff and members of the church working with children or vulnerable adults. These are currently up to date and ongoing.
## **Objectives**
Field Vineyard continues to fulfil its objectives as summarised below and in its Articles of Association (also see below). We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities.
## **Summary of Objectives**
Field Vineyard aims to facilitate the following:
_Discipleship_ — the spiritual development of people through prayer, Bible study and meeting together on Sundays and in small groups or prayer triplets during the week. Worship — providing public worship services open to anyone to attend.
_Church Family_ — to develop a strong church community who look after each other and include in their activities those who are not already part of the community.
_Serving the Poor_ — in groups or individually, to meet some of the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of those in the communities in which members of the church community live and work.
_Mission and Evangelism_ — to share the Christian faith with others both at home and abroad.
3
As stated in its statutes, (Memorandum and Articles of Association) Field Vineyard is established:
- _to advance_ the Christian faith including but not by way of limitation through the planting of other Vineyard churches in such ways and in such parts of Bristol, the United Kingdom or the world as the Trustees from time to time may think fit.
- _to further_ Christian education in such parts of Bristol, the United Kingdom and the world as the Trustees may from time to time think fit.
- _to relieve_ sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health by the provision of funds, goods or services of any kind, including through the provision of counselling, training in life skills and support in such parts of Bristol, the United Kingdom or the world as the Trustees from time to time may think fit.
- _to provide_ or assist in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life.
- _to further_ secular public education in such parts of Bristol, the United Kingdom and the world as the Trustees from time to time think fit.
- _to carry out_ such other charitable objects and for the benefit of such parts of Bristol, the United Kingdom and the world as the Trustees shall in their absolute discretion see fit.
## **Activities of the Charity:**
## **Giving**
Overview of January to December 2024, some highlights:-
This year, we gave financial gifts to a number of individuals within Field Vineyard to support them in difficult circumstances. Funds were also spent supporting leaders in Malawi, via the organisation in YWAM ; the Food Bank, run by our sister church Severn Vineyard; Begin Well, a charity which provides antenatal care for parents; and a mission trip to South Africa. This trip saw Caleb Pedersen take two members of the church, ministering at Signal Vineyard Church camp, near Cape Town, and at Fountain Vineyard’s Easter camp, near Port Elizabeth. All three were involved in leading worship, speaking and leading times of prayer and prophetic ministry.
**NB.** A number of small gifts have been made to thank individuals for their contributions to the life of the Church during the year.
4
## **Children and Youth**
**Children –** We have seen growth in numbers with new children joining in and who seem to enjoy their weekly activities. It is key to the life of the church to have a flourishing children’s church, which is why funds were raised and set aside to employ someone specifically for this role once again.
**Youth** – The youth have gathered weekly on Thursdays during term-time and have enjoyed being together. Partnering with Severn Vineyard has increased numbers attending and created deeper levels of connection and fellowship within the youth.
## **Community and Gathering Events**
**Worship -** We place a high value on worship and have focused on rebuilding our music teams after the pandemic. Regular worship nights have taken place within 2024.
**Community Groups** – There were five community groups gathering together each week. These groups are key to the life of the church and usually involve prayer, worship and time in the Bible. One group stopped in the Summer, with two more starting in September. The running club continued as well.
**Newcomers** – The Field Leadership Team has hosted two meals of getting to know one another, asking questions and finding out about opportunities to get involved in church life. Fifteen people have joined the church this year.
**Prayer Meetings** - Julie Cole continued with a weekly prayer meeting over Zoom which has been well attended with a core group of regular people – praying for the church, the city, the country and the world, as well as specific prayer requests. This group has been consistently meeting to pray weekly since 2020. There has also been a weekly in-person prayer meeting on Mondays.
**Serving the Community –** Many of our people have continued to support the work of sister church Severn Vineyard’s Food Bank, both through regular giving of money and giving of time to this vital ministry which serves communities in South Bristol. They help by packing boxes and food parcels, delivering those to clients and attending the weekly clinic to chat to clients as they collect food parcels.
We’ve also started partnering with Begin Well, a charity which supports parents as they enter parenthood with free parenting classes. A number of people from within Field have committed to being on the team for this, alongside our resident midwife Sophie Milne, who is heading up this project.
**Premises Sharing** – We’ve been delighted to share our building with other members of the community, including a Ukrainian church (Oxygen) who have been meeting for worship, worship practices and to run a Ukrainian Alpha course. We’ve also welcomed Sustainable Faith to run their Spiritual Direction Training weekends.
**Weekend Away –** We enjoyed a weekend away together as a Church family in Dartmoor in September, with times for teaching, worship, fun and outdoor activities.
5
**Church Collaboration** – We’ve enjoyed a picnic with Severn and Lighthouse Vineyard and joined in with their Easter Egg Hunts and Light Parties. Our friends at Oxygen Church joined in with our regular worship nights.
**New Initiatives** – We tried some new ways of gathering together during 2024, which included “Host a Roast”, “Wild church” which meant meeting outdoors in nature and “Dream Big” meetings where people were encouraged to share their dreams for Kingdom work.
## **Training and Development of members of the church**
The main bulk of teaching comes during our Sunday morning gatherings. Teaching has been mostly led by Tim Cole and Caleb Pedersen, but others from within Field and from outside of the church have also taught. Our mid-week groups encourage further growth and continuous development through accountable relationships and discipling each other in smaller numbers.
Caleb Pedersen attended the annual national Vineyard Leaders conference (VLG) with a member of the staff team and the worship team, as well as two leaders from the congregation.
A number of spiritual formation training courses have taken place throughout the year, run by members of the church using the “Practicing the way” series and there were 4 of these.
One of our leaders is training with Sustainable Faith to become a Spiritual Director.
In October, Tim Cole ran a teaching and preaching workshop, which was followed by a prophetic workshop in November to train and equip the church in prophecy, run by Caleb Pedersen.
We hosted a team from Solent Vineyard in June, who came and led the service and ministered to our congregation. We also hosted a conference with Alexander Venter, where he spoke over several sessions on a weekend in April.
Our youth attended Dreaming The Impossible festival in Stafford, and a large number of the congregation attended New Wine, whilst others attended a worship event called David’s Tent.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Income**
Income of £174,233 was received in the year to 31[st] December 2024. Field Vineyard’s main source of income is from donations from the members of the church.
Monthly income has been slow in increasing after the pandemic, but we are starting to see stability in our monthly income and a steady increase in donations. Expenditure has been carefully managed in line with reduced income and totalled £158,288 for the year. This gave a net surplus income after expenditure of £15,995 all of which relates to unrestricted funds.
## **Grants**
6
In total, Field Vineyard made grants totalling £17,072 (£16,881 2023). Part of this figure represents a 5% grant to Vineyard Churches UK to further church planting both in the United Kingdom and internationally. Field Vineyard, as part of Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland, will continue to contribute financially to Vineyard Churches UK&I over the coming years in order to pursue its charitable objectives.
## **Reserves Policy**
The Trust has determined to maintain a level of reserves to at least 3 months income approx. £36,000 in order to meet effectively the requirements of the long-term running of the Trust.
The level of reserves held at the year-end was £359,303 of which £53,191 is free reserves. In the current uncertain investment climate, the reserves policy is to keep these reserves on deposit at the highest rate of interest that can be earned ethically and safely.
## **Responsibilities of the Trustees/Directors**
Charity law 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 its incoming resources and resources expended for the 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.
-comply with applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP (FRS 102), subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-prepare financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for maintaining 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 1993. 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.
In the case of each of the persons who are Trustees at the time when the report is approved, the following applies:
-so far as the trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information (information needed by the company's auditors in connection with preparing their report) of which the company's auditors are unaware and -each trustee has taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a trustee in order to make themselves aware of any audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

**Bristol Vineyard Ltd Notes to the Accounts Year ended 31st December 2024**
## **1. Accounting Policies**
## _**Basis of Preparation:**_
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention (except where otherwise stated in the accounting policy note) and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: 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) issued in October 2019 and the Companies Act 2006. The charity is a public benefit entity as defined under FRS102. No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The accounts represent a true and fair view and no change have been made to accounting policies in the period
## _**Income:**_
All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities for the period in which they are receivable. Contract income in advance of the period to which it relates is deferred. Legacies are recognised once it has become reasonably certain that the legacy will be received and the value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## _**Expenditure:**_
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and have been classified under the headings that aggregate all costs related to that activity inclusive of VAT.
Expenditure is allocated to a particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activities based on use of a particular resource. Governance costs comprise the costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs are included within support costs.
## _**Tangible Fixed Assets:**_
Fixed assets (excluding land & buildings) are included in the financial statements at their historical cost and are written off over their estimated useful lives by depreciation through the SOFA at the following rates:
Plant & Machinery Straight line basis over 3 years Fixture & Fittings Straight line basis over 5 years
Tangible fixed assets costing more than £500 are capitalised.
Property is shown at most recent valuation by directors. Any surplus or deficit arising from changes in their value is recognised in the revaluation reserve in the balance sheet.
As permitted by the Statement of Recommended Practice, no provision for depreciation has been made for freehold property, as it is the view of the Trustees that the estimated residual value of each property is not materially different from the carrying value.
## _**Debtors**_
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **Bristol Vineyard Ltd Notes to the Accounts Year ended 31st December 2024**
## **1. Accounting Policies continued**

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## _**Creditors**_
Creditors and provisions 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 and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## _**Grants:**_
Decisions concerning which individuals and institutions receive grants out of the assets of the charity are made by the Leadership Team in consultation with the Board of Directors in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association. Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities for which they are incurred on an accruals basis.

Under the requirements of Auto-Enrolment the charity operates a contributions pension scheme, for all eligible employees which is administered by NEST.
## _**Fund Accounting:**_
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes.

- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
