**LEA VALLEY CHURCH** 

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 December 2020** 

The  trustees  present  their  report  with  the  financial  statements  of  the  charity  for  the  year  ended 31 December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Public benefit** 

The Lea Valley Church exists to build a community of Christian believers who will impact Waltham Abbey, the Lea Valley region, London, the nation and the word beyond (Acts 1:8). 

When planning our activities for the year and the services on offer to the local community, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to encourage ordinary people to live out their faith in every area of their lives as part of the Lea Valley Church community and the wider community. We also try to encourage people within the local community to find faith through attending our meetings and establishing friendships. Many within our church community have found spiritual, emotional and physical healing and we are keen that others in the local community receive the same benefits. 

The great majority of the charity's meetings and events are open to the public. Indeed, it is a key aim of the charity to attract newcomers into the various activities of the church so that they can participate in and benefit from all that the church has to offer. 

The  charity  values  the  diversity  currently  evidenced  by  the  church  membership  and  the  wider community of those who interact directly with and is hopeful of seeing the diverse demographic of the Waltham Abbey and the Lea Valley Region fully reflected in the church. 

## **Volunteers** 

The church council and the holding trustees realise the huge amount of time given by volunteers to help the church run. The financial accounts cannot truly show the level of gifts in terms of time rather than money  that  these  hours  represent.  However,  they  greatly  acknowledge  all  the  work  volunteers contribute and would like to thank all of them. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

It was a challenging year for the charity. COVID-19 restrictions which came into effect mid-March 2020 created an entirely different landscape for us as a church.  Sunday meetings could not be held from that first lockdown and this lasted until spring of 2021.  Very quickly we established an on-line presence for our Sunday services and encouraged zoom or Microsoft Teams meetings for other groups within our church to stay connected.  In line with all Government restrictions we were unable to hold community focussed groups within the week. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

The attached financial statements summarise the incoming and outgoing resources for the year together with the Balance Sheet as at 31st December 2020. 

Income has decreased from £217,858 to £210,803, however this is a positive reflection of online giving amidst the current COVID-19 financial challenges faced by many.  Expenditure also decreased from £211,941 to £192,628 reflecting lower overhead costs because the main church and church hall were largely unused for most of the year.  This resulted in being able to show a slight accounting surplus for the year of £18,175 although cash reserves have remained fairly static. 

The church has honoured all financial obligations and we are very grateful to every giver who has supported Lea Valley Church in what is arguably, the most difficult year we have faced so far.  Going forwards, this bodes well for the future and we trust that God will continue to build His Church in our locale of which we are a part. 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

We do not specifically give grants to individuals or invest church funds in shares, stocks or money making schemes. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The trustees and church council have agreed that it would be prudent to have three months working capital available. At the year end the available general reserves exceeded this. 

Page 1 



Other reserves are held in property which is used for the charitable objectives of the church. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

Lea Valley Church continues to change and grow. It will continue to require the help and commitment of many 

volunteers to make it a success but we know that it is exactly what God has planned for us and we are grateful for the continuing positive impact the church has on Waltham Abbey. Once national lockdown and all Government restrictions are lifted we plan to press on with being a good, Godly and positive presence  in  our  community.   This  means  we  will  work  to  create  a  safe  environment  where  our congregation and guests can participate and return to physical meetings and activities with confidence.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 December 2020** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity. 

In late 2009 we updated our organisational structure to the New Model Deed for Local Assemblies of God in Great Britain and Ireland. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The Church Council are now the Trustees of the Charity under the new AOG Model Deed and are appointed in line with the process set out in the Model Deed. Holding Trustees are appointed by the Church Council and the Chairman of the Church Council has the casting vote if required, although in all circumstances to date, the appointments have all been unanimous. 

Trustees and Holding Trustees are offered training as required. 

## **Wider network** 

The church is affiliated to the Assemblies of God (AOGUK) and Timothy and Hayley Gutmann (Senior Pastors) and Geoffrey Ace (Associate Pastor) are recognised and ordained ministers with the Assemblies of God UK. The church is also a member of the Evangelical Alliance. 

## **Related parties** 

The church employees are: Timothy and Hayley Gutmann as Senior Pastors and Geoffrey and Tanith Ace as  Associate  Pastors.   All  pastors  are  part-time  at  present  and  currently  they  are  the  only  paid employees. 

## **Risk management** 

The church H&S risk assessment was updated during 2016 identifying possible risks and associated controls to reduce those risks. 

We will revisit the risk assessment especially in the light of COVID-19 to update as appropriate and ensure all suggested controls have been adopted. Specifically, protection of the children in our care is paramount and will never knowingly be compromised. 

It should be noted that it is the policy of this church to adhere to our Children's Protection Policy Document which we will enforce if circumstances require. A copy is available for perusal if required.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LEA VALLEY CHURCH** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Lea Valley Church** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Lea Valley Church (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2020. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As  the  charity  trustees  of  the  Trust  you  are  responsible  for  the  preparation  of  the  accounts  in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do 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 no concerns and 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.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the Year Ended 31 December 2020** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements and assessment of going concern** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared  in  accordance  with  the  Charities  SORP  (FRS  102)  'Accounting  and  Reporting  by Charities: 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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

The  trustees  consider  that there  are  no material  uncertainties  about the  charity's  ability to continue as a going concern. 

The financial statements are presented in sterling (£). 

## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimated and assumptions  that  affect  the  amounts  recognised  in  the  financial  statements.  The  following judgements and estimates are considered by the  trustees  to have most significant  effect  on amounts recognised in the financial statements. 

Useful economic life of tangible fixed assets: 

The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are reassessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

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

Improvements to property -   25% on reducing balance and 10% on reducing balance Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance Computer equipment - 25% on reducing balance 

No depreciation is charged in respect of freehold land and buildings as the residual value of the property after its estimated useful life is anticipated to be at least the carrying value of the property show in the financial statements. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. 

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash, current bank accounts and deposit bank accounts with no withdrawal limitations. 

## **Creditors** 

continued... 

Page 7 



Creditors are recognised where then charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will 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 are recognised at their settlement amount. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity.  Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
