## **Trustees Report**
The Trustees currently consist of:
- Ali Tuft as Chair
- Jo Wheeler as Treasurer
- Jess Jacobs as Secretary
- John Higson, Jon Northey and Andy Blakeman as Trustees
The Trustees met twice in 2022, once in February 2022 and once in September 2022.
Two new trustees were appointed at the last AGM in July 2022 - Jon Northey and Jess Jacobs, and Andy Blakeman and John Higson were re-voted in.
The Trustees set up an internal document storage system through Google Drive - this is a central record with various folders, including Admin, Church Services, Rotas, Life Groups, AGM, Elders, Trustees, Leaders, Policies, Events and Finances. A church calendar is now also linked to the Drive, which is used in the weekly email.
Our church policies are currently in the process of being reviewed by Trustees and updated as required.
Quarterly Trustee meetings will be scheduled by the Church Secretary going forwards to ensure consistency in the Trustees discussions and contributions.

**Community Life Church, North Baddesley Notes to the Accounts For the year ended 31 December 2022**
## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
Charity Law requires the Church Council (the Trustees) to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Church (the charity) as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Church Council is required to:-
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue to operate, and
- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding .the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees' report, and the responsibility of the independent examiner in relation to the Trustees' Report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.
These Financial Statements were approved by the Church Council on
ON BEHALF OF THE TRUSTEES:

**Community Life Church, North Baddesley Notes to the Accounts** f **or the year ended 31 December 2022**
## **Accounting policies**
The accounts have been drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Charities Acts, and include the results of the charity's operations which are described in the Trustees' Report, all of which are continuing.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (effective January 2016).
The financial statements are prepared, on a going concern basis and the charity is dependent on donation income and as a consequence the going concern basis is also dependent on donation income continuing.
Incoming resources are accounted for on a receivable basis.
Bank interest is included in the income and expenditure account on a receivable basis.
Liabilities are recognised on the accruals basis in accordance with normal accounting principles, modified where necessary in accordance with the guidance given in the relevant Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales
The policy for including items within the relevant activity categories of resources expended is to allocate costs to the most appropriate activity. In particular the policy for including items within costs of generating funds, charitable activities and governance costs is:
## Costs of generating funds
The costs of raising and generating funds includes the incidental costs of staging various events.
## Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure includes all expenditure directly related to the objects of the charity.
## Governance costs
Governance costs include all expenditure directly related to the administration of the charity, organisational administration and compliance with charitable and statutory requirements.
The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment.
The charity has designated certain funds for specific uses – these are: the Building Fund (unrestricted element), the Community Life Centre Account, and the Youth Account. Once funds have been designated for a particular purpose, use of those funds for general purposes will require formal approval of the Trustees.
Restricted funds have been provided to the charity for particular purposes, and it is the policy of the Trustees to carefully monitor the application of those funds in accordance with the restrictions placed upon them.
If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.

**Community Life Church, North Baddesley Notes to the Accounts** f **or the year ended 31 December 2022**
## **Accounting policies** - continued
Apart from Ali Tuft (for which approval is given within the Church’s Constitution) neither the Trustees nor any persons connected with them have received any remuneration, either in the current year or the prior year
The Disclosures to the Accounts on page 4 should be read alongside these accounting policies.
## **Reserves policy:**
The Church Council believes that the Church should hold sufficient balances on its general and other accounts to allow it to continue operating even if there was a significant reduction in the level of giving.
The Church Council considers that the minimum level of these balances should be the equivalent of 16 weeks’ operating costs calculated and reviewed annually – on the basis of expected spend in 2023 this will be in the order of £10,000. The Balance Sheet at 31 December 2022 shows that the unrestricted balance on the General Fund, plus the designated balances of the Building, Youth and CLC Funds stood at £28,500.
## **Statement of Public Benefit for the year ended 31 December 2022**
Because we are legally a “smaller charity” and below the audit threshold, we must include only a brief summary in our Annual Report of the main activities undertaken - you can find that in the main report.
As Church Council (the Trustees) we confirm that we have had regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance, where relevant.
The Objects of the Church – as set out in its Constitution – are:
“The Church is formed:
- [1] to advance the Christian religion in accordance with the doctrinal basis as set out in Clause 3 [of the Constitution].
- [2] to provide such services to the community that are in keeping with the Christian ethos and exemplified in the Bible.”
We consider that Object [1] above passes the “public benefit test” because advancing the Christian religion in our community has a positive impact on the moral and ethical behaviour of those with whom we come in contact.
Furthermore, our Christian faith and our relationship with God – as Father, Son and Holy Spirit - gives meaning to our lives and encourages us to live in such a way as to benefit the wider society by being good citizens and following the Bible’s teaching on how we should conduct ourselves in society.
Object [2] was added to our Constitution as a result of opening the Community Life Centre – which clearly provides benefit to the whole of the community. As can be seen from main report, the Centre is an open access facility and we have been delighted to assist people from all walks of life including those of other faiths and none.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Church Council For the year ended 31 December 2022**
## **Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees on the accounts of the Charity**
## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 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 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA)
## 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 all applicable 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 material matters have come to my which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did 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 have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**Community Life Church, North Baddesley Notes to the Accounts For the year ended 31 December 2022**
## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
Charity Law requires the Church Council (the Trustees) to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Church (the charity) as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Church Council is required to:-
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue to operate, and
- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding .the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees' report, and the responsibility of the independent examiner in relation to the Trustees' Report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.
These Financial Statements were approved by the Church Council on
ON BEHALF OF THE TRUSTEES:
Trustee Date:

**Community Life Church, North Baddesley Notes to the Accounts** f **or the year ended 31 December 2022**
## **Accounting policies**
The accounts have been drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Charities Acts, and include the results of the charity's operations which are described in the Trustees' Report, all of which are continuing.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (effective January 2016).
The financial statements are prepared, on a going concern basis and the charity is dependent on donation income and as a consequence the going concern basis is also dependent on donation income continuing.
Incoming resources are accounted for on a receivable basis.
Bank interest is included in the income and expenditure account on a receivable basis.
Liabilities are recognised on the accruals basis in accordance with normal accounting principles, modified where necessary in accordance with the guidance given in the relevant Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales
The policy for including items within the relevant activity categories of resources expended is to allocate costs to the most appropriate activity. In particular the policy for including items within costs of generating funds, charitable activities and governance costs is:
## Costs of generating funds
The costs of raising and generating funds includes the incidental costs of staging various events.
## Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure includes all expenditure directly related to the objects of the charity.
## Governance costs
Governance costs include all expenditure directly related to the administration of the charity, organisational administration and compliance with charitable and statutory requirements.
The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment.
The charity has designated certain funds for specific uses – these are: the Building Fund (unrestricted element), the Community Life Centre Account, and the Youth Account. Once funds have been designated for a particular purpose, use of those funds for general purposes will require formal approval of the Trustees.
Restricted funds have been provided to the charity for particular purposes, and it is the policy of the Trustees to carefully monitor the application of those funds in accordance with the restrictions placed upon them.
If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.

**Community Life Church, North Baddesley Notes to the Accounts** f **or the year ended 31 December 2022**
## **Accounting policies** - continued
Apart from Ali Tuft (for which approval is given within the Church’s Constitution) neither the Trustees nor any persons connected with them have received any remuneration, either in the current year or the prior year
The Disclosures to the Accounts on page 4 should be read alongside these accounting policies.
## **Reserves policy:**
The Church Council believes that the Church should hold sufficient balances on its general and other accounts to allow it to continue operating even if there was a significant reduction in the level of giving.
The Church Council considers that the minimum level of these balances should be the equivalent of 16 weeks’ operating costs calculated and reviewed annually – on the basis of expected spend in 2023 this will be in the order of £10,000. The Balance Sheet at 31 December 2022 shows that the unrestricted balance on the General Fund, plus the designated balances of the Building, Youth and CLC Funds stood at £28,500.
## **Statement of Public Benefit for the year ended 31 December 2022**
Because we are legally a “smaller charity” and below the audit threshold, we must include only a brief summary in our Annual Report of the main activities undertaken - you can find that in the main report.
As Church Council (the Trustees) we confirm that we have had regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance, where relevant.
The Objects of the Church – as set out in its Constitution – are:
“The Church is formed:
- [1] to advance the Christian religion in accordance with the doctrinal basis as set out in Clause 3 [of the Constitution].
- [2] to provide such services to the community that are in keeping with the Christian ethos and exemplified in the Bible.”
We consider that Object [1] above passes the “public benefit test” because advancing the Christian religion in our community has a positive impact on the moral and ethical behaviour of those with whom we come in contact.
Furthermore, our Christian faith and our relationship with God – as Father, Son and Holy Spirit - gives meaning to our lives and encourages us to live in such a way as to benefit the wider society by being good citizens and following the Bible’s teaching on how we should conduct ourselves in society.
Object [2] was added to our Constitution as a result of opening the Community Life Centre – which clearly provides benefit to the whole of the community. As can be seen from main report, the Centre is an open access facility and we have been delighted to assist people from all walks of life including those of other faiths and none.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Church Council For the year ended 31 December 2022**
## **Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees on the accounts of the Charity**
## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 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 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA)
## 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 all applicable 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 material matters have come to my which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did 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 have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
