ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

This has been an exciting year for Restore Church, a thriving multicultural church community in the heart of Lincolnshire. As we continue to work out the Charities mandate in alignment with our vision to facilitate restoration spiritually, physically and mentally. The Church has continued to thrive and grow as we receive new families and individuals weekly.

Trustees Annual Report

Restore Church continues to be an integral part of the community serving the homeless and most vulnerable through a variety of programmes such as Restore Kitchen providing free nightly hot meals. During 2023 over16,000 meals were distributed. Also Restore Pantry, Restore Church’s social supermarket, continued to serve the community opening 3 days a week. The Pantry served just over 2292 adults with 1157 children, with 4844 shops carried out in the last year.

Restore Homes During 2023 thirteen of Restore Homes residents moved on from our accommodation. Of these 3 moved into longer term supported accommodation. 6 moved into independent accommodation, 4 were evicted and 2 abandoned their property. The average length of stay for these residents was 15 months. 15 new residents were welcomed into Restore Homes accommodation. Restore Homes employed 2 new support workers to increase the level of support offered to residents. In September of 2023 Restore Homes entered into a service agreement with Boston Borough council to provide emergency accommodation for rough sleepers in partnership with BBC rough sleepers team.

During 2023, Restore Homes trialled a social enterprise called Potato Petes, where 2 residents were employed for 8 hours per week over a 3-month period. The residents completed food and hygiene training and successfully completed the 3-month project. We saw an increase in residents' positivity, improved mental health and motivation for change.

‘The Drop’ in provides a warm space twice a week, with free refreshments for the local community to build friendships, connections and receive support or signposting.

The charity continues with its obligations of proclaiming the Gospel and loving people not only in our local town but also aboard as we support our growing Network of Restore Churches, currently 13 churches in Kisumu and Kitui Kenya. This includes supporting the building of classrooms and church buildings, supporting the ministry, providing training, community work and carrying out mission work.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

A review of the charity's financial position at the year end shows a net surplus of £3,268 (2022 £8,032). The total funds held at the year end was £114,238 (2022 £109,271)

Policy on reserves is that the charity will maintain 2 - 4 months reserves which the trustees deem sufficient to rehome the occupants of the charities properties should the need arise

The comparative figures have been restated due to a detailed reanalysis of costs during the year, but there was no overall effect on the surplus for the previous year.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The charity was created by trust deed dated 25 November 1993 as amended 9 April 2009 as amended 20 August 2014

New trustees are co-opted onto the board as the need arises, as deemed by the other trustees

Statement of trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees' annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Expenditure

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:

Equipment 15% Straight Line Motor vehicles 25% Straight Line Fixtures, fittings and 10 - 25% Straight Line computer equipment

Freehold investment property

Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.

Stocks

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

Trade and other 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.

Page 9

Restore Church Boston Notes to the Accounts

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other 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.

Research and development

Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

Foreign currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.

All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.

Leased assets

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.

Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the charity has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the charity in independently administered funds.

Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services
