STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing Documents

The Trust was established by a Trust Deed of 1 July 1957, but, pursuant to a Scheme of the Charity Commission for England and Wales, a Declaration of Trust was executed in 1993 under which the long leasehold property invested in the Trustees of International Harvest Church and the current property of the church vested in the Church Council under a Declaration of Trust was executed in the form of the Assemblies of God Model Deed prescribed under that Scheme.

The Model Deed provides that the property of the church shall be used for the furthering of the Objects of the church and for no other purpose.

Charitable Purpose

International Harvest Church (IHC) Newcastle’s charitable objects are to advance the Christian faith; relieving sickness and financial hardship and to advance education.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

For the year ended 31 March 2021

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (Continued)

Structure and Governance

The Trustees of the Charity form the body known as the Church Council. Ideally the membership of this body shall be between six and ten in number (and never fewer than three). The governing document allows for the remuneration of Trustees, but they must not be in a majority.

New Trustees can be proposed by any current Trustee and then discussed by the whole Church Council. Such a discussion would look at the needs of the role and the existing team, and the relative merits of the proposed candidate.

Generally, Trustees are selected from the men's Primary Twelve, who provide spiritual oversight to the Church. We recognise that this is a somewhat narrower group, but believe there should be a consistency between the spiritual leadership of the church and the organisational leadership of the Charity.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and Aims

The objects of the church are, for the benefit of the public, to:

(i) advance the Christian faith in such ways and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Church Council from time to time may think fit;

(ii) 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 and support in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Church Council from time to time may think fit; and

(iii) to advance education in such ways and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Church Council from time to time may think fit.

In achieving these objects, the church has organized itself in small groups known as cell (City) groups. This follows the G12 model, which emphasizes the four components of win, consolidate, disciple and send.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Health & Safety

To provide adequate control of the health and safety risks arising from our work activities;
To consult with our personnel on matters affecting their health and safety;
To provide and maintain safe plant and equipment;
To ensure safe handling and use of substances;
To provide information, instruction and supervision for personnel;
To ensure all personnel are competent to do their tasks, and to give adequate training;
To prevent accidents and cases of work-related ill health;
To maintain safe and healthy working conditions; and

Investment Policy

All funds raised by IHC are invested directly into the operational activities of the charity in order to achieve its stated aims. Our cash reserves are kept in an interest-bearing account, and, where possible and appropriate, other investment options will be considered.

Public Benefit

The Trustees understand and have discussed the implications of the provisions of the Charities Act 2006, which state that all charities must demonstrate that they are established for public benefit, and have had due regard to the public benefit guidance issued by the Charity Commission. The Trustees believe that the charity meets both of the key principles.

Principle 1 - There must be an identifiable benefit, or benefits

IHC Newcastle’s activities create opportunities for people to explore the Christian faith and find the freedom that comes from a personal relationship with Jesus. We teach and educate people on how they can do this personally. In addition, IHC also provides teaching on how to improve communication between people and other ways to strengthen families and communities, and live as responsible citizens in society.

Principle 2 - Benefit must be to the public, or a section of the public

Engagement in IHC Newcastle’s public activities is open to the entire general public. We work to maintain links with our local community and have hosted local community events as part of this service and benefit to the local community

IHC Newcastle’s beneficiaries are therefore entirely appropriate to its aims and the public as a whole benefits from its work. All these benefits are clear, evidenced and relate directly to IHC Newcastle’s aims. In addition, the Trustees do not consider that any significant detriment or harm flows from IHC Newcastle’s work.

The Charity's grant making policies

The charity does not operate an ongoing, open programme for grant-making.

The contribution of volunteers

The charity makes extensive use of volunteers to support its activities.

INTERNATIONAL HARVEST CHURCH NEWCASTLE TRUSTEES’ REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2021

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The year under review started just after the UK went into national lockdown because of the Coronavirus pandemic. To comply with the Government’s social distancing regulations and guidelines, we switched all our activities online, and over the year we combined online and in-person activities where possible. Despite this change in the mode of operation, we pursued the objectives of the Charity through weekly Sunday services, small (city) group meetings and other activities such as quizzes that could be held online. The focus of our activities is on teaching, encouraging and motivating people to become better individuals who make a positive contribution to families and society at large. While some of our activities such as our Parent and Toddler group (Little Village) could not be run, we maintained contact and provided financial and other support for individuals and families through our city groups and other individual contacts from the Senior Pastors and Leadership of the Church.

In addition to our regular activities, we were able to achieve the following:

Organised and participated in online international conferences to encourage and enhance the spiritual and social development of our members through the teaching, inspiration and connections that these events provide.
Organised online Youth events including Life Languages training, which helps individuals to understand theirs and others’ preferred communication styles, and how they can better “connect” with them.
Organised special events at Christmas and other special occasions such as Mother’s Day and Father’s Day with celebrations and gifts to new mothers and dads in our community.
Raised substantial funds to support communities in Bogota, Columbia and South Africa who were severely affected by the effects of the pandemic.
Assisted Newcastle United Foundation (NUF) and their contractors, Robertsons, in granting them access through our land, to facilitate the development of the NUF building which borders the Church property. This arrangement will result in the resurfacing of our car parks by Robertsons.

We continued with our international links and investment in the training of people (albeit virtually). Over the past year, we maintained connections with churches in Sweden, Columbia, Germany, and the USA. This was through conference attendance and training activities. We also contributed to the work of other organisations and activities such as the UK G12 Group of churches and the Christian Institute. Investment in our Life Languages Certified trainers continues to provide opportunities to train church members, people from other churches and organisations in the UK and overseas, to understand their communication styles. This identifies a person’s preferred way of communicating and helps people to improve inter-personal communications between individuals, spouses, and team members. We are grateful that this has been a great tool in day-to-day life that has been appreciated by many.

To enable our move to online activities, we made significant investments IT and multi-media hardware and software to enhance our effectiveness in operating online, better manage our operations, and facilitate home working by office staff. These investments included the purchase of laptops and computers, audio speakers, cameras, lighting, and associated software (e.g. StreamYard for online streaming on YouTube and Zoom, and Church Suite for data and volunteer management) and accessories. We also carried out improvements and essential maintenance to the building (e.g., repainting of windows and replacing wooden facias with aluminium ones, and improvements to comply with Government COVID-19 guidelines) and the flat owned by the church. Plans for ongoing building improvements including the replacement of windows, rewiring of the building, replacement of the fire-alarm system continue to be considered.

INTERNATIONAL HARVEST CHURCH NEWCASTLE TRUSTEES’ REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2021

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (Continued)

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year (Cont.)

Other building/property related activities include the re-incorporation of the Charity with the Charity Commission so that all its assets will be under the name of “The Trustees of International Harvest Church Newcastle”, thereby removing the need for Holding Trustees (and transferring liability from individual members of the Charity body). All leases and deeds held by the charity have been transferred to this new entity. Alongside these developments we also explored the possibility of purchasing the freehold of our land from the leaseholder, Newcastle City Council. While the purchase wasn’t possible at the time, we will continue to explore this possibility in future.

The charity continues to retain the services of Pastors Clive and Sally Harding. We continued to employ a part-time (0.2FTE) cleaner, Bogusia Reca, and a part-time (0.2FTE) Finance Assistant, Fungying Koshy. Charis Doherty returned from maternity leave and resumed work in a different role as part-time (0.4FTE) Media and Events Co-ordinator. Rosalyn Vinton re-joined the staff team as part-time (0.2FTE) Office and Building Co-ordinator following her Maternity Leave. During the course of the year two staff were put on furlough because of lockdown and the effects of Covid-19 restrictions.

In summary, we consider the year 2020-21 to have been a good year despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The church continued to transform lives and provide a service to the community, development and consolidation of international links and further progress in making improvements to the building. The Trustees are grateful both to God and to the generous giving of its members and volunteers who made this possible.

Financial Review

The out-turn for the year is an unrestricted surplus of £43,347 (2020: Surplus £4,282).

The surplus will be added to Unrestricted Reserves, leaving a balance on Unrestricted Funds at 31 March 2021 of £363,046.

Free Reserves, defined as total Unrestricted Reserves, excluding the value of tangible fixed assets, are £144,881.

We have continued to have a stable financial performance, with sufficient income being raised to cover all our expenditure. The inability to physically meet in the building for most of the year had a slight effect on weekly cash donations. But the regular and generous online giving of most members more than made up for this shortfall. Less use of the building also resulted in less expenditure and, as a consequence, we had a net surplus of income over expenditure.

The surplus from the previous financial year was invested in some building improvements (and ringfenced to planned building works and the possibility to make a substantial deposit towards the payment for the freehold of our land), while also ensuring that enough reserves were maintained in keeping with our reserves policy.

The Trustees consider the financial performance of the charity to be satisfactory.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

For the year ended 31 March 2021

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (Continued)

Investment Policy

The charity currently invests surplus cash funds only via a variety of interest-bearing deposit accounts.

It holds different accounts in one bank in order to both maximize interest receivable and to, as far as practicable, hold funds within the financial compensation limit for each institution.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have reviewed the charity's needs for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission.

The Trustees aim to firstly hold a level of Unrestricted Reserves, excluding Tangible Fixed Assets, which enables the charity to have sufficient financial resources to meet various liabilities which would crystallise if IHC Newcastle were unable to continue operating.

At present, the Trustees estimate that the Unrestricted Reserves required for such purposes amount to approximately £30,000 (or two months of operating costs).

IHC Newcastle currently holds ‘free’ Unrestricted Reserves, excluding Tangible Fixed Assets, of £144,881 at 31 March 2021, providing a degree of additional contingency to ensure that the charity can run efficiently and meet the needs of the beneficiaries. Part of this amount has also been ringfenced for building improvement and other projects which have been put on hold or delayed because of the current Coronavirus pandemic.

This policy will be reviewed by the Trustees on an annual basis as part of the charity’s budgeting `processes.

Risk Management

The Trustees of the charity regularly review the major governance, operational and financial risks which the charity faces as part of its annual business planning process and confirm that systems have been established to mitigate these risks.

IHC Newcastle has a risk management strategy in place which comprises:

an ongoing review of the strategic risks the charity may face via the strategic plan
the establishment of planned action by trustees, systems and procedures to mitigate risks identified
the implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.

The Trustees are satisfied that appropriate financial systems and controls are in place.

The Trustees consider the key risks facing the charity at this time to be:

Impact on IHC normal activities as a result of the coronavirus pandemic
• Falling donation levels as a result of the pandemic
An incident in respect of children or vulnerable adults

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

INTERNATIONAL HARVEST CHURCH NEWCASTLE

For the year ended 31 March 2021

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (Continued)

Risk Management (Cont.)

The Trustees have managed the potential impact of these risks by ensuring that:

Prudent budgets have been set for the next financial year
The charity maintains a low cost-base
Regular management accounts are provided, showing the performance against budget
Reserves policies have been adopted which provide an appropriate amount of uncommitted Reserves which will always enable the charity to meet all its liabilities even if income targets are not achieved
A nominated child protection officer and policies are in place
The charity is actively working to increase our base of support and donations

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

IHC will continue its regular activities against the changing demands and restrictions of the COVID19 pandemic. These activities include discipleship and personal evangelism, small (city) group activities and outreach to the city of Newcastle upon Tyne and beyond, within the context of the current government-imposed restrictions. But for this coming year, we are exploring different ways of conducting our activities through the pairing of City Groups to enhance the effectiveness of our mission of transforming lives and creating a better society.

Further improvements will be made to the building to comply with any additional Government guidelines during the pandemic, and we will explore the possibility of implementing other longstanding building projects where possible (e.g., replacing windows, etc). In addition, we will continue to explore the possibility of purchasing the freehold on the land we currently lease from Newcastle City Council.

The Trustees will continue to review the staffing needs of IHC to ensure that there is optimum deployment of the right people to service the needs of IHC. Alongside staffing, we will also seek to further develop an effective pool of volunteers to support paid staff.

We are very grateful for the regular giving of IHC members, which is the main source of funds for all our activities. We look forward to seeing many more people become generous givers in the coming year.

In preparation of the financial statements the Trustees should follow best practice and:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS ON THE UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS OF INTERNATIONAL HARVEST CHURCH NEWCASTLE LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

I hereby report to the Trustees/Members of International Harvest Church Newcastle (Charity Registration Number 1052178) on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021 set out on pages 11 to 20.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

INTERNATIONAL HARVEST CHURCH NEWCASTLE NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1. Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, The Financial 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.

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.

Taxation Status

IHC Newcastle is a Charity registered under the 1960 Charities Act and is accorded exemption from liability to taxation on its income under S505 Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988.

Going Concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Cash Flow Statement

The Directors have taken advantage of the provisions of the Financial Reporting Standard Number 1, which exempts small entities from the need to prepare a cash flow statement.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the purposes of the charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for specific purposes.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor.

INTERNATIONAL HARVEST CHURCH NEWCASTLE NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1. Accounting Policies (Continued)

Income

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income, any performance related conditions attached have been met or are fully within the control of the charity, the income is considered probable and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Donations and legacy income is received by way of donations, legacies, grants and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Where legacies have been notified to the charity but the criteria for income recognition have not been met, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Investment income is included when receivable.
Income from charitable trading activity is accounted for when earned.
Other income is accounted for when receivable.

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:

Costs of raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting donations, grants and legacies and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.

Irrecoverable VAT

All resources expended are classified under activity headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.

Operating Leases

The charity classifies the lease of certain types of equipment as operating leases as the title to the equipment remains with the lessor. Rental charges are charged against income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

INTERNATIONAL HARVEST CHURCH NEWCASTLE NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1. Accounting Policies (Continued)

Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on any fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the assets over their remaining useful lives as follows:

Land & Buildings – 2% straight line
Leasehold Property Improvements – 2% straight line
Equipment - 20% straight line

A full year’s depreciation charge is applied in the year of acquisition and no charge is made in the year of disposal.

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.

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.
