New Creations Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 July 2022

The Trustees who are the Directors of the charity, submit their report and accounts for the year ended 31st July 2022.

CONSTITUTION

The Charity is a private company limited by guarantee, registered number 03041408, and its affairs are governed by the provisions of its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The charity is registered with the Charity Commission under registration number 1045719.

The Charity's principal address is: Betchworth House, 57 - 65 Station Road, Redhill, Surrey RH1 1DL.

RECRUITMENT

There are six Trustees and it is not considered necessary to recruit another trustee at the present time. However, this is kept under regular review.

OBJECTS

The Charity's primary objective is the advancement of the Christian religion. This is achieved through the use of the Arts, and specifically textile art, by engaging, informing and enhancing worship across a wide cross section of the community. 'The Linhay' - the property in South Devon owned by the Charity - is being used as a dedicated studio for the research, design and production of all the textile work.

FUTURE PLANS AND REVIEW OF ACHIEVEMENTS

Threads through Creation, was completed in the early part of 2021, and started touring in August 2021: so far it’s been exhibited in Salisbury Cathedral, Lancaster Priory, Chester Cathedral, Southwell Minster, Worcester Cathedral and Exeter Cathedral. The tour continues through 2022 - 2024. Thousands have now visited the exhibition and left some very positive and moving comments. Many schools have brought classes of children, as part of Key Stage 3 Religious Education, and found the exhibition a really great visual representation of the opening story of Genesis.

In July ‘Songs of Praise’ visited the exhibition Threads through Creation at Exeter Cathedral and talked to visitors. They then went to Jacqui’s studio in Chudleigh and interviewed her at work. This filming formed part of a service that was broadcast on Sunday 7 August 2022.

Jacqui Parkinson continues her work on her third large textile exhibition Threads through the Cross - due for completion at the end of 2024 and ready for touring in spring 2025. It is undecided whether this exhibition will tour independently or as part of the three exhibitions called Threads through the Bible. This would include: Threads through Creation and Threads through the Cross and Threads through Revelation. This would require very large venues, demand a lot of administrative work, and would also be costly. Decisions will need to be made soon. Big dreams!

‘The Linhay’ in Chudleigh, South Devon, continues to serve its purpose as studio and writing base for Jacqui Parkinson. It also houses the textile work when it is not on tour.

The Charity remains grateful for the support from its generous donors and aims to keep them informed of developments and changes in the work.

RESERVES POLICY

It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which exceeds approximately twelve months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs. The free reserves at the balance sheet date amount to £291,384 (2021: £291,562). The trustees believe the reserves are at an adequate level.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Income received was £86,497 (2021: £70,026) which was a increase from the year before.

The Trustees wish to express their thanks towards all of New Creations' donors. Overall a surplus of £9,931 (2021: deficit of £6,837) was generated in the year. Reliance on income from donations does leave New Creations more exposed to the economic climate and the financial outlook for 2023 is uncertain, meaning that New Creations needs to secure more consistent funding, especially from individuals and churches.

New Creations Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 July 2022 (continued)

RISK MANAGEMENT

Control Systems

The Trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that there are appropriate control systems for:-

In practice these are delegated to the Company Finance Officer, who has day to day management of the accounts, but who is regularly accountable to at least two Trustees, both of whom are signatories to all of the New Creations Bank accounts. Both of these Trustees now have full online access to all of the New Creations bank accounts, as does the Finance Officer. The Finance Officer is responsible for informing every Trustee of the balances at bank at the end of the month. The Company Finance Officer also serves a separate Charity, Share Jesus International (Charity Number 1089784), as their Finance Officer. He serves New Creations under an arrangement between the two Charities.

Risk Factors

The Trustees consider that risk falls into two overall areas – finance and infrastructure (income, expenditure, the contents of the charity's studio) and operational issues (the care of the work when on tour and possible risks to third parties whilst the public views the charity's work).

PUBLIC BENEFIT

In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.

TRUSTEES

The Trustees, who are also the Directors under company law, who served during the year were:-

New Creations Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 July 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Charitable Company Information

New Creations is a company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office address is Betchworth House, 57-65 Station Road, Redhill, Surrey, RH1 1DL.

Accounting Convention

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). The company is a public entity for the purposes of FRS 102 and a registered charity established as a company limited by guarantee and therefore has also prepared its financial statements in accordance with the 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 (The FRS 102 Charities SORP), the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charitable company.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Going Concern

The trustees have assessed whether the use of going concern is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charitable company to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of the approval of these financial statements. In particular, the trustees have considered the charitable company's forecasts and projections and have taken account of pressures on income. After making enquiries, the trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

The trustees have assessed the impact of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic on the charity and consider any impact or delays to be short term only. As a result the trustees believe that the charity will be able to continue and meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements.

On this basis, the trustees consider it appropriate for the accounts to be prepared on the going concern basis.

Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated net residual value of each asset over its effective useful life as follows:

Fixtures and equipment - 25% per annum on reducing balance

Income

Voluntary income is received by way of donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.

Legacy donations are recognised when the amount can be reliably measured and receipt is reasonably certain.

New Creations Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 July 2022 (continued)

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis.

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis as time or estimated usage.

Costs relating to the governance of the charitable company, comprising legal and professional fees and accountancy fees, are included within charitable activities.

Fund Accounting

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes laid down by the donor. Expenditure for these purposes is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of overheads and support costs.

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for expenditure on the general objectives of the charity.

Designated funds are those unrestricted funds which have been set aside for a particular future project or commitment.

Capitalisation

All fixed assets are capitalised at cost and recognised on an accruals basis.

Irrecoverable VAT

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which they have been incurred.

Stock

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. It represents the printing costs of the book 'Threads through Revelation'.

Cashflow Statement

The charitable company has taken the exemption available in paragraph 7.1B of FRS102 and has not prepared a cashflow statement.

Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at banks and in hand and short term deposits with a maturity date of three months or less.

Debtors and creditors

Debtors and creditors receivable or payable within one year of the reporting date are carried at their transaction price. Debtors and creditors that are receivable or payable in more than one year and not subject to a market rate of interest are measured at the present value of the expected future receipts or payment discounted at a market rate of interest.

2. CONSTITUTION

The company is limited by guarantee and does not have a share capital. Every member of the company undertakes to contribute to the assets of the company in the event of its being wound up while he or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member, for the payment of debts and liabilities contracted before he or she ceased to be a member, such amount as may be required, not exceeding £10.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND AREAS OF JUDGEMENT

In the view of the Trustees in applying the accounting policies adopted, no judgements were required that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements nor do any estimates or assumptions made carry any significant risk of material adjustment on the next financial year.

Threads Through Revelation, Threads Through Creation, Tree Of Life/Open Heaven

These three major projects reflect Bible truths through the use of huge fabric panels all designed and created by Christian Textile Artist Jacqui Parkinson. Open Heaven consists of 3 large panels and a raised cast of Jesus on a rope ladder. All 3 exhibitions are designed to be displayed in large buildings such as Cathedrals. The funds remain to cover the costs of replacing or buying new display equipment: such as lights, cabling, sand bags, etc and costs when the exhibition is touring.

Also, one day, it’s envisioned that all 3 exhibitions Threads through Creation and Threads through the Cross and Threads through Revelation will tour together - this will require large funds.

Tree Of Life will continue to be exhibited in the future.

Deo Gloria banners

The funds continue to cover the costs of making all the panels into banners. Also managing the administrative work involved in requests for various exhibitions. There are also costs involved in packing and posting out exhibitions.

13. TAXATION

As the company's aims are charitable, no corporation tax liability arises.

14. CONTROL

Throughout the year the company has been under the control of its Trustees.
