The Brook Annual Report 2022

Summary

Finance

2022 Income £236,791 Expenditure £214,852 Balance £136,658

Reserve Policy - The Trustees will endeavour to maintain £20,000 in reserves. This is to ensure the continuance of core Church activities and provide a buffer for emergencies. The Church operates a substantial building and holds many community activities with a high level of access to the general public. The Church is also an employer and landlord.

Insurance - the Building continues to be insured via Aston Lark Ltd. This also includes Public Liability, Employers Liability and property insurance for 53 Byron Street and 49 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 – 53 & 49 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 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,

The Brook Annual Report 2022

mental health issues and trauma. This can be practical support, mentoring, advice, group work, signposting to other services, care support and access to the all the resources at the centre.

These are supported by Trustees, members, staff, 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 2022 the church and the community projects it operates were supported by the National 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, Bolsover District Council, Shirebrook Town Council, the National Lottery and Foundation Derbyshire with funds from Derbyshire County Council. We thank all 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 majority of the charitable grants received have funded the Storehouse and Recovery Plus projects. Some of this funding is carried over into 2023.

Part of the core running costs and maintenance of the Church has been funded from brought forward designated reserves.

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

The Brook Annual Report 2022

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, The Vernon Bowmer Trust, 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 2022.

Storehouse – Dave Spencer, Amanda Pell, 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 728 members and 114 partners. 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 District Council and the Partnership Team, CVS and Chief Executives Office. 2022 saw Arron Johnson support us from BDC and Mandy Chambers from Feeding Derbyshire.

The Brook Annual Report 2022

Dave Spencer’s support has been invaluable and Candice Chamberlain has assisted with system and paperwork to the highest standard. Jenny Toon has been a valuable volunteer along with other. Coffee Brook is now working in partnership with Storehouse.

Kingdom Homes – Amanda Pell

Kingdom Homes 1 on Byron Street has provided a safe haven during these times.

Kingdom Homes 2 was purchased July 2022 which was a great blessing. It needs a complete refurbishment. Progress has been steady and greatly helped by funding provided by Vernon Bowmer and Foundation Derbyshire.

Again thank you to Dave Spencer for his input.

– Recovery Plus Shaun Cummings, Paul Munro, 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 - 'Thank you for all your help.' 'I feel much better about my situation.' 'I've not had the confidence to make an appointment with my GP for years', 'CAB have been a great help with the problems I face.'

This year we added group work to the services we offer with “Celebrate Recovery” meeting every week and other courses about addiction / mental health. These along with extra recovery focused one to one sessions funded by Derbyshire County Council have been successful. Paul Munro worked on this for a time and we appreciate his work.

Thank you to Lin / Martin (CAB) for their invaluable help.

Cofee Brook – Bec Hearn

Coffee Brook reopened in the middle of October. We have accomplished quite a lot

The Brook Annual Report 2022

in four months, a reopening event, a thanksgiving event, an evening event between Christmas and New Year. We are starting vegetarian options this week and looking forward to opening the garden for outdoor eating and events.

Coffee Brook could still benefit from a couple of committed volunteers, but the volunteers we have are absolutely amazing and make the cafe the success that it is.

Pastor / Chair of Church Council / Project Manager - Amanda

Pell 2022 was a blessed year of increase of seeking Him. Alongside helping people and releasing the new projects, Kingdom Homes 2, Coffee Brook / Bec Hearn and Recovery Plus group work.

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, Tracey and Jan 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 2022. Bec has been a great addition to the team.

We enjoyed a successful “Let there be Light” concert – well done guys.

We have still met all our charitable functions and delivered many valuable services for the community. As a church we press into Him.

Well done everyone. We give God the glory every year for all He does. We ask the Lord for wisdom to govern well. 2023 We submit all plans to the Lord. The Lottery continue to support us with funding. We want to finish Kingdom Homes 2 and update some of our systems.

The work with Futurekraft will continue and this is resulting in the strengthening of the charity and further funding opportunities / developments.

Chair’s Report – Jan De Villiers

I’ve been in this position now since July 2022. It has been a great privilege to work with Amanda and the trustees on various matters. I feel that we as a board are making good strides towards developing an up to date and healthy organisation. There is still much to do, but there is energy in the room to get it done - I am thankful for being part of this team. Overall, I am so impressed with the work that The Brook has been doing through the various projects over the past

year, and I look forward to what will be achieved over the next while. Thank you to the whole team who makes The Brook work!
