REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

for the year ended 30[th] April 2022

The trustees present their report and accounts for the year to 30[th] April 2022. The trustees have opted, under section 133 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Charities Act’), to prepare receipts and payments accounts

Objectives and Aims

We believe that the world should hear the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins on the cross that we could have a new life and fresh start in him. We believe that Jesus still heals today and this message is and will continue to be taken to the nations.

Public benefit

The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and consider that the activities of the charity meet its charitable objectives and provide a benefit to the public.

Achievement and Performance

After a fantastic time of very generous giving we started major work on the Hub (Church Building). Many volunteers helped with ripping out and we were able to work with the community probation team by allowing some to fulfil their community hours. We carried out major repairs to the roof and painted the exterior of the building. We appointed an architect and had some bespoke architectural plans drawn up.

We supported the Trypraying initiative. This is an initiative that was UK wide. Banners were put on billboards and busses to encourage people to try praying over a 7-day period. We joined with many other churches during that time and put up ‘Trypraying’ banners and handed out Trypraying booklets.

We continued to financially support an assistant pastor through the Minister in Training programme with AOG. We also continued to give generously from the money that was given into the church. This year we continued to sponsor our Compassion Child. We also gave into Global Awakening, Shake the Nations, The Impact Ukraine Appeal, and we supported someone going on mission to Spain. We also gave money into the North Devon House of Prayer, an Orphanage in India, Acts 435, CAP North Devon, Open Doors, Amazon Missions and Samaritans Purse.

We continued to deliver our Sunday Messages online so that this would increase accessibility for those who are housebound. We also remained a distributor for food bank vouchers.

We continued to deliver high quality connection and community connection within our small group system. We were also able to train and release two new connect group leaders.

A team of people regularly go out on the streets and pray for people. We have also had the opportunity to deliver a marriage course.

In helping people grow in their relationship with Jesus we have had the opportunity to carry out baptisms during the summer months.

Financial review

The trustees consider the financial performance by the charity during the year to have been satisfactory. The Statement of Financial Activities show net outgoing resources for the year of a revenue nature of £59,678 (PY: net incoming £146,693)

Income received was £95,056 (PY: £206,799) and expenditure was £!54,735 (PY: £192,188)

Reserves policy

The trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets ('the free reserves') held by the Charity should be approximately six months of the resources expended. At this level the trustees feel that they would be able to continue the current activities of the Charity in the event of a significant drop in income.

Unrestricted cash reserves held at the year-end amounted to £38,730 (PY: £45,088)

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF COASTAL COMMUNITY CHURCH

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Coastal Community Church

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Coastal Community Church (the Trust) for the year to 30[th] April 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3. the accounts do 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 confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
