Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 January 2024
Achievements and performance
Our existing trustees (Neil Hamilton, Mary Edley, Christine Hamilton, Roland Panek and Brian Coleman) have continued to administer the needs of the charity.
Relations with other churches
We have continued to share times of joint fellowship with other local churches. We continue to work with Rock Christian Centre who still supports us in our food bank ministry activity which we see as serving people within our local community. This year food vouchers were brought into our church for the benefit of families in the Darnall area. This enabled us to provide food for a tota! of 1,000 people.
We are working with Meadowhead Christian Fellowship in a more structured manner with worship and speaking support upon request to cover our holiday periods and other specific times.
Other work with groups in our area
:
A community cafe is still being run for the benefit of our community which provides refreshment and a warm space activity in our building. We also offer our building for a dementia café once a monthly where we are supported by the workers at Darnall Well Being.
Gifts to ther groups by Living Waters
The church trustees have an approved charitable giving policy. The charities selected, and the amounts given, are reported to the church congregation.
There was a formal presentation of church accounts and activities to the members of the church in April 2023.
A bring and share celebration event in February 2024 marked the 30" Anniversary of the founding of Living Waters church in 1994.

Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 January 2024
Financial review
Funds have been received completely from free will offerings donated by members and visitors together with income tax recovered under HMRC gift aid provisions.
The policy of the charity is to utilise its resources to further the objects of the trust and not therefore to establish large reserves. It is the objective of the trustees to maintain sufficient unrestricted reserves to cover six months of general expenditure in the normal course of events.
The charity does not seek to maintain investments and has repaid the loan outstanding on its freehold property.

Sheffield Living Waters Christian Fellowship
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 January 2024
The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is 81 Main Road, Darnall, Sheffield, S9 5HL.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, ‘The Financia! Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland’, 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 (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
- Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future projects or commitments.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity, and that the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
(a) income from donations is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
(b) legacy or grant income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
(c) income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
(d) income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and retumed if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis asa liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
(a) expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
(b) expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 January 2024
Resources expended (continued)
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Land and buildings 1% straight line Fixtures and fittings 25% reducing balance Equipment 10% reducing balance
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
