Summary

Finance

2021 Income £141,819 Expenditure £131,489 Balance £114,718

Reserve Policy - The Trustees have endeavour to maintain £20,000 in reserves given the size of the building, the level of activities and level of access to the general public so any emergency repairs can be dealt with speedily. Also given the increase in staff numbers, the purchases of Kingdom Homes 1 and the impending purchase of Kingdom Homes 2.

Insurance - the Building continues to be insured via Bells Ltd. This also includes Public Liability and 53 Byron Street.

Risk Management - The trustees endeavour to make sure that risks are kept to a minimum through regular monitoring and review.

The Brook – 18-26 Main Street Shirebrook - Kingdom Homes – Byron Street, Shirebrook. The Brook’s main base is 18-26 Main Street which is a registered Church and also provides a Community Centre.

It is from this address that its charitable purposes are delivered. The Brook as part of its charitable function provides accommodation for those who need support through Kingdom Homes.

Summary of Activities / Public Benefit

We are a community church (part of Assemblies of God) and as such worship God through everything we do. We believe as Christians that church is more than a “church meeting” but it is also about loving and supporting the needs of others in our community.

We love God, His Word and His presence. We believe true transformation starts with a relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ and a living relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Church therefore inherently benefits everyone but we specifically provide for

The Brook Annual Report 2021

the local community through a wide range of support, from one to one support, Community Food Storehouse, Community Café/Garden, volunteer opportunities, larger shared events, training to “having fun” and much more.

We have Recovery Plus providing extensive support for people who are vulnerable for many reasons, i.e. homelessness, addictions, mental health issues and trauma. This can be practical support, mentoring, advice, signposting to other services, care support and access to the all the resources at the centre.

These are supported by Trustees, members, volunteers, local agencies and local community – to whom we are most grateful.

Summary of Funding

Usually much of the non – restricted general income comes from Tithes, Offerings, donations from members and gift aid. We also receive an income via the Solar panels. In 2021 the church was supported by the Lottery, Coalfields Regeneration Trust, Police Crime Commissioner, Bolsover District Council, Power to Change, Rank Foundation and others. We are extremely grateful and blessed.

The Storehouse was supported by Coalfields, BDC, Lottery, Foundation Derbyshire with funds from Derbyshire County Council. We thank funders for their support which changed the impact and scope of what we could achieve. We are most thankful.

The support of FutureKraft has helped us to thrive. We thank Jan, Chris and others.

Treasurer’s Report – Adrian Hulme (See Financial Report)

Pat Hellewell is the Church Treasurer. Adrian Hulme ACA has supported some of the duties of Treasurer. Adrian has prepared the accounts which will be independently audited by Beeley Hawley Accountants in Mansfield, before being submitted to the Charities Commission.

The principal source of Funding for the Church is Tithes and Offerings. This is supplemented with rental income and charitable grants. Special Projects such as Storehouse and Recovery Plus are funded by public donations and charitable grants.

This year we have been blessed with numerous grants from Charitable and other organisations.

The Brook Annual Report 2021

The majority of the charitable grants received have funded the Storehouse and Recovery Plus projects. Some of this funding is carried over into 2022. Part of the core running costs and maintenance of the Church has been funded from brought forward designated reserves.

Of the balances carried forward, £17,088 is ring-fenced for Community Store and Recovery Plus. There is a designated balance intended to fund the purchase of a new building of £49,059. Other designated funds specifically in reserve for 2022 Church projects and costs amount to £17,848.

Overall the Church is in a stable financial position and it is the intention of the trustees to build up core reserves going forward.

Adrian would particularly like to thank Tracey Engyel for her work in dealing with the book keeping, cash management and banking functions.

The Trustees are grateful for the support of Bolsover District Council, Shirebrook Town Council, The Rank Organisation, Coalfields Regeneration Trust, Derbyshire Community Foundation, Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner, All Churches Trust, The Co-op and Laing for their support during the year, without which we could not have achieved so much.

The Trustees also wish to thank FutureKraft for their assistance in securing charitable grants. The Trustees wish to commend efforts of Amanda Pell and David Spencer, with administrative support from Candice Chamberlain, for their work in securing the charitable grants which have benefitted the Church and local community so much throughout 2021.

Storehouse – Amanda Pell, Dave Spencer, Candice Chamberlain Storehouse opened in March 2021 after the successful emergency relief distribution centre during the pandemic delivering over 7000 bags of food. Storehouse would not even have started if it wasn’t for our dedicated volunteers, members, partners and funders. We thank every single one of you for all you do as we could not run without you.

Storehouse, in partnership with Recovery plus and Citizens advice have saved many lives and it has been a true blessing to over 350 people in its first 9 months. We have had comments like “The Doctor told me you saved my life” “This is the best thing that’s happened here for years” and many more. Storehouse has become a great community asset and we trust our Lord that it will grow and be part of our local community for years to come. The support from Funders has been excellent. We have worked closely with Bolsover

The Brook Annual Report 2021

District Council and the Partnership Team, CVS and Chief Executives Office. I especially thank Steve Fritchley Head of Bolsover Council, Pam Brown, Jess Clayton, Laura Khella, Lindsay Harshaw, Lucy Sheppard, Mandy Chambers and Catherine Burn.

Dave Spencer’s support has been invaluable and Candice Chamberlain has assisted with system and paperwork to the highest standard.

Annette Sisson has fed all the volunteers with 100s of meals – we honour her for her commitment. Thank you to all volunteers.

Kingdom Homes – Amanda Pell

Kingdom Homes 1 on Byron Street has provided a safe haven during these times. Covid restrictions made house meeting and some functions delayed but mostly the home ran well.

Again thank you to Dave Spencer for his input. Also I thank the guys for their valuable contribution as volunteers – I honour your input.

We plan to add another property to Kingdom Homes which will assist us to support more residents.

– Recovery Plus Shaun Cummings, Jane Burns, Candice Chamberlain

Within Recovery Plus we have been able to offer tailored support for people with varied needs. These have included individuals with mental health issues, substance misuse, homelessness and physical ill health.

Following an initial discussion with people, we are able to identify their individual needs. We have then been able to support them in following areas, such as accompanying them to face to face GP appointments, hospital visits, supporting and completion of applications for housing, means tested personal benefits, debt recovery and grants to assist with general living costs.

Together with other external agencies such as Citizens Advice Bureau and District Councils we have been successful in securing various individual benefit claims, secure housing tenancies and debt recovery programmes.

Quote from someone helped by Recovery Plus 'The reason why I would recommend The Brook to others is because of its friendly atmospheric and all the things it has to offer like Recovery Plus,

The Brook Annual Report 2021

Storehouse the community shop. I suffer from anxiety and depression. Since going there and the support I have been getting my life has changed dramatically I am no longer in a dark place.’

Thank you to Lin (CAB) for her invaluable help.

Coffee Brook

The Café has been closed for some time now mainly due to Covid restrictions and the need for more volunteers. In 2022 this will be an area of priority. The garden will then come into its own in the summer. Thank you to Drene, Gavin and Ian for their help.

’ Pastor / Chair s Report - Amanda Pell

2021 has been a mixed year of Recovery and Release. Helping people to recover and releasing the new projects, Storehouse and Recovery Plus.

We give God the glory for so many lives touched. God has been at the centre of all we do seen and unseen. I thank God for His tangible Presence through whom we live and move and have our being.

I thank all the Trustees Pat and Tracey who helped us to function well during this time. I thank Dave and Adrian for all they do. I thank all the volunteers – every one for every part they played and for their help to ensure the success of 2021.

We bless our community and still remember Ken and Freda Walker – our thoughts and prayers continue to be with Ken and his family.

We have still met all our charitable functions and delivered many valuable services for the community. In the church we have been looking at maturity. As a charity we are looking to review the function of key areas.

Well done everyone. We give God the glory every year for all He does. We ask the Lord for wisdom to govern well.

2022 We submit all plans to the Lord. The Lottery have agreed to support us with funding for three years. We are planning Jubilee events called Let there be Light. We are being supported by Derbyshire County Council to provide a Specialist Mental Health and Substance Misuse Worker.

The work with Futurekraft will continue and this will result in a stronger charity and further funding opportunities / developments.
