TRUSTEES REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2024

The church has two classes of church council as follows:

Holding Trustees - are responsible for holding the Church's land and buildings on trust for the benefit of the Church.

Managing Trustees - are members of the Church Council. The Church Council is responsible for the day to day management of the Church's business in accordance with the objects of the Church. The Church Council comprises the Pastor together with such persons as the Pastor shall nominate and the Church Council shall from time to time appoint. The minimum number of Church Council Members shall be three.

None of the Church's officers, with the exception of the Pastors, receive remuneration.

The induction process for any church member newly appointed as a Managing Trustee comprises an initial meeting with the Minister(s) and receipt of copies of:

Church Members

In accordance with the Church Constitution, Church Membership is open to those who:

Church Members share responsibility for the church's finances, administration, maintenance, and activities. They meet once per year for business meetings and receive reports from the Church Council.

Risk Management

The Church's primary concern and objective is the glory of God. Whilst it is the Church's policy to trust wholly in the Lord that He will work out His purpose to this end, the Church also acknowledges that it has a responsibility, both as individual members and as a body of members, for the identification and proper management of risks faced by the church in achieving its primary aim. The Church Council has therefore assessed the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believes that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with regular monitoring of financial data and the annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks that they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks. The charity relies on volunteers to assist with the ongoing administration and maintenance of the Church, and this year the Trustees would like to extend their appreciation to the approximately 15 volunteers that have given up their time.

Activities

Hampden Chapel is an independent church and is affiliated to Assemblies of God - Great Britain and Ireland. The congregation is drawn from a wide range of cultures and caters for all age groups.

The Church Council has given due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. During the year, the Church continued to carry out the following activities in order to promote the Gospel in the local neighbourhood:

Achievements and Performance

As a church, we give thanks to God, who has continued to bless our activities.

We pray that God will enable us to be good stewards of the gifts and resources entrusted to us through the body of people who are the church family and the wider community.

Financial Review

The Statement of Financial Activities and Balance Sheet are on pages 8 and 9 respectively. The Church had a deficit of income over expenditure of £23,901 during the year. However, of this deficit £16,633 is due to depreciation charged against fixed assets (2022/23: deficit of £24,462 and depreciation charged of £16,570). The balance sheet at 30th September 2024 shows net assets of £2,397,300 (At 30 September 2023: net assets of £2,421,201).

Included in the total funds are amounts totalling £10,408 (2022/23: £12,056) which are restricted. These funds have either been raised for and their use restricted to specific purposes, or they comprise donations subject to donor-imposed conditions. Note 10 of these accounts provides full details of the restricted funds together with an analysis of movement.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The Church Council is responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Church Council consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the organisation 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 Church Council 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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2024

Basis of preparation:

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with:

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS102)) and with the Charities Act 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue in operation as a going concern.

The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Income

Recognition of Income

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:

▪ the charity becomes entitled to the resources;

▪ the trustees believe it is probable they will receive the resources; and

▪ the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability

Income with related expenditure

Where income has related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the income and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA.

Grants and Donations

Grants and Donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources. Tax reclaims on Donations and Gifts

Income from tax reclaims are included in the SOFA during the same period as the gift to which they relate.

Gifts in Kind

Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as income when receivable. Donated Services and Facilities

These are only included in income (with an equivalent amount in expenditure) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.

Volunteer Help

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees' annual report.

Investment Income

This is included in the accounts when receivable.

Expenditure and liabilities

Liability recognition

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.

Governance Costs

Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of the trustees meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.

Support Costs

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities, including office costs and administrative payroll costs if any. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and are all directly attributable to the general church operational activities.

HAMPDEN CHAPEL

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2024

Pensions

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme. The charity is under no further obligation to make any extra payments irrespective of how that pension fund performs.

Assets

Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity.

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt.

Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The rates applied per annum are as follows:

Fixtures, Fittings and Equipment 25% Buildings 1% (from 1st October 2019) Land 0%

Prior to financial year 2017/16, the property was included in the financial statements at its 2009 market value. At the date of transition to FRS102, the Trustees opted to state the property at its revalued amount being that property's current market value, as calculated by Foxtons Agents in July 2017. The value of the land element of the property is deemed to be one third of the total carrying value.
