Emmaus Church Centre (ECC) is registered as a place of worship No. 79101 and for marriages No. 42123. The Western Counties & South Wales Evangelisation Trust governs the building and grounds. Emmaus CC, where most of the activities of the charity are carried out, is situated in Gorse Cover Road, Severn Beach, near Bristol BS35 4NP ## **The Church was overseen by five trustees:** - Robert Lawrence Scott-Cook - Chairman - Samuel Isaac Peter Marsh – Vice Chairman - Samuel John Miller – Senior Elder - Mark William Chattaway – Elder - Damian Paul Selby - Trustee ## **The church was led by a Leadership Support Team** : - Samuel John Miller – Leader Supported by - Mary-Anne Willmott - Celia Beales - Keith Emmerson - Damian Selby - Mark Chattaway With regular guest Anuran Wickramasinghe The Leadership Support Team was challenged to bring younger members to the Team. During 2020, Abigail Selby and Bridget Chattaway were invited to attend leaders meetings as guests. The Church continued with its regular activities designed to maintain involvement with the community until mid March. From April to December activities were severely disrupted by the Coronavirus19 Pandemic. The Church employed Mary-Anne Willmott as a self employed Church Development Worker (8 hours per week – reduced from April due to covid19 restrictions) to introduce fresh initiatives and due to retirements and others moving away, she has filled various key roles. Mary-Anne began a part-time theological training course at the Bristol Baptists College via Zoom. Address for correspondence: Mr S. John Miller, Salthouse Farm, Shaft Road, Severn Beach, Bristol, BS35 4NH - 3 - ## **The primary object (as specified in the `Deed of Trust`) is:** **“the advancement of the Christian faith and the extension of the Kingdom of God and other charitable purposes”** One or more persons who are known to be part of the body of the Church led each of the separate prime activities of the charity. The majority of activities were being supported voluntarily with time and money given by church members. The church welcomed a variety of Christian speakers from other churches to preach. A treasurer administers the finances. For details of other objects and related activities, see the Appendix. During 2020 the church continued with regular services and activities for various age groups until the first national lockdown due to covid19. It continued to support Christian work at home and abroad. See Appendix for more details. Normal pattern of services pre covid19 - Weekly: Sunday 10.30 a.m. Family Service, with Communion once a month. - Once a month: Sunday at 7.00pm Faith House Residential Home. - This was supplemented by weekly mid-week evening Home Groups and monthly praise and prayer evenings The pattern of services that developed after March 2020 - Weekly: Sunday 10am on Zoom, October to December at the church building and on Zoom - Fortnightly Praise and Prayer Group on Zoom - Small support groups met at the building and on Zoom The church was funded by voluntary gifts the amount of which varies from year to year and a small amount of rental income. Total income in 2020 was £33,983. This was slightly down on 2019 but was an incredible amount as the church building was closed for much of 2020. The church encouraged those who pay tax and are committed to Emmaus Church to sign a gift aid mandate as it is a valuable source of revenue and we operate the Small Gift Aid Donation. Gift Aid Donations refund received in 2020 was £5,500 for donations made in 2019) The church holds Santander current and deposit accounts and a Kingdom Bank savings bond. Kingdom Bank supports the work of churches and charities in keeping with Emmaus Church’s vision. We closed the Kingdom Bank Deposit account and opened a 2 year loan account with Green Pastures, a charity that provides accommodation for the homeless from November 2019. We received significant interest in 2020. A local social group called ‘Stitches’ met at ECC once a month for which they paid rent in January and February only. A Baby Hub run by Sirona Care and Health continued meeting once a month at ECC for which they paid rent in January and February only. This facility was proving very popular to the local community. Expenditure for 2020 was £24,197, down by £6,000 on 2019 as many activities were cancelled due to the covid19 pandemic and national lockdowns. - 4 - The church’s gifts to other Christian work, those in need and missions remained constant at a similar amount to 2019 at £6,309 which is around 26% of total expenditure. The church continues to give gifts to lay preachers and the total amount was £1,450. This was £1,000 reduction on previous years as the church engaged less speakers, had shorter talks on Zoom, and less travelling expenses. We are pleased to report that the church remains in a healthy financial situation and did not use any reserved funds. Banks: Santander, Brindle Road, Bootle, Merseyside.

PUBLIC BENEFIT** The Trustees have had regard to the guidance produced by the Charity Commission on public benefit in preparing this report and in the various activities of the church. All three objects as outlined in this report seek to provide activities and actions which benefit the public through the pro-active involvement of members of the church in community activities, financial support for those whose ministry is to serve others ensuring that the ultimate beneficiaries are those whom they serve rather than themselves and significant mission activities in the local community for the size of the church. The church also supports financially those in other communities and countries whose work is designed to benefit local people in their areas of operation. The church is also keen to work not only in social mission but also in evangelistic activities because the church leaders and trustees consider that the Christian message is crucial to people knowing wholeness and healing in their lives and the church is delighted to hear stories of changed lives over the years through the church’s commitment to the Christian message. Therefore, the Trustees consider that through direct involvement of its members and indirect involvement (through funding others) both in their local area and also further afield, the church is serving people to their benefit and for their support. It is the desire of the leaders and Trustees that the church grows in order that this work might increase. - 14 - ## **TRUSTEE POLICIES** ## **Investment Policy** It is agreed that the Trustees hold no more than necessary to meet normal expenditure levels in the current account, and that the remainder of the reserves are held in a deposit account, the performance of which is reviewed from time to time with the Church Treasurer. ## **Reserve Policy** The Trustees consider it prudent to hold up to a normal year’s expenditure in reserve in a deposit account. This is to ensure there is adequate provision to fund any unexpected expenditure as the Church is almost wholly reliant on freewill gifts from Church members which can vary considerably from year to year. The Trustees also hold an additional reserve as it is their desire to appoint an employee if a suitable candidate were available to progress the work of the church. The free reserves at the year-end were £53,593 ## **Safeguarding Policy** Safeguarding is constantly being monitored, revised and updated. Carol Miller is the co-ordinator. Emmaus Church is registered with the Churches’ Child Protection Advisory Service (CCPAS ref: 2021). A system for police-checking Children and Youth Workers (DBS Certificates) is established. ## **Health and Safety Policy** The Trustees are aware of their responsibilities concerning risks to the Trust. The Church has a Health and Safety Policy which is applicable for Emmaus Church as a low risk, less than 5 employees Charity. The Church considers risk management important. Risks such as accidents in the car park and children leaving the grounds unaccompanied are assessed as part of the normal decision-making process to the Church. ## **Church Insurance** Emmaus Church is insured with the Congregational & General, using their standard ‘Church Choice’ Policy. Public liability has been confirmed as five million pounds. ## **Certificates** Portable electrical appliances are tested annually. Fire extinguishers and fire blanket are tested annually by a specialist firm. The Kitchen is registered with South Gloucestershire Council as Food Premises and was inspected by a Food Safety Officer in 2013. Several Church members have Food Hygiene certificates which may need updating. Several Church members have First Aid certificates which may need updating. - 15 - ## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES** The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; - make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed/constitution. 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.

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 Charity 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.
