TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

The Trustees present their Annual Report (including the Directors' Report) and financial statements of the St Matthew's Church Brixton PCC Building Management Charity ("St Matthew's") for the year ended 31 December 2021.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charitable company's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)".

The Trustees

The Trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, are collectively referred to as the Trustees throughout this report. The Trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

Rev Dr S Sichel R Salisbury Jones J D Murray S L Layne S Fielding S K Corlett J Atterbury Davies

Structure, governance and management

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 14th December 1993 and registered as a charity on 7th March 1997.

In the event of the charitable company's dissolution, the liability of the member is limited to £1.

The charitable company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its articles of association. At the AGM in June 2009 the PCC agreed new Memorandum and Articles of Association and these were formally adopted by resolution in order to comply with the Companies Act 2006.

Governance, Membership and Trustees

The sole member of the charitable company is the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Matthew with St Jude, Brixton (the PCC).

The business of the charitable company is managed by the Board of Trustees or Directors (the Board). The Articles of Association allow the Board to use all powers of the charitable company except those which require a General Meeting of the sole member of the charitable company. The PCC, as sole member, has the option to amend the Articles and Memorandum of Association at a General Meeting.

At a General Meeting of the charitable company held in May 2017 the PCC used its option as sole member to appoint all of the members of its Standing Committee to the board of Trustees. This ensures that Trustees will act in the best interest of the charitable company in accordance with the wishes of its membership.

Existing Trustees are expected to identify their training needs and to take measures to ensure that these needs are met. During 2021 the Board met four times.

In exercising its powers and duties, in making decisions and in carrying out operations, the Board of Trustees has complied with its duty to pay due regard to the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance.

ST MATTHEW'S CHURCH BRIXTON PCC BUILDING MANAGEMENT CHARITY

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Objectives and activities

The objects of the charitable company are:

a) To preserve for the benefit of the people of Greater London and of the nation at large whatever of the English historical architectural and constructional heritage may exist in and around the area of Brixton in the form of building of particular beauty historical or constructional interest and in particular St Matthews Church. b) To provide facilities for recreation with the objects of improving the conditions of life and social welfare of the inhabitants of Greater London ("the area of benefit").

c) To advance education for those living in the area of benefit.

d) To provide a community centre for the benefit of those living in the area of benefit. e) To undertake any other charitable activity.

In order to achieve the Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charitable company should undertake.

Achievements and performance

The COVID-19 pandemic is still largely having an impact on charitable companies for this year. The main tenant did not resume paying full rent until October. They made a minimum contribution to their monthly invoice. Only essential repairs what carried out. cleaning and security contracts they kept to a minimum unless seen as essential, bookkeeping services resumed on a reduced basis. We received a small grant from the national heritage society which help keep the charity solvent.

Public Benefit

The most obvious way in which the charitable company benefits the public is that it protects and preserves the historic and architecturally significant St Matthew’s Church building. The advancement of heritage is one of the charitable purposes set out in the Charities Act 2011. The building dates from 1824 and was constructed initially as a district church of St Mary Lambeth when that parish was divided into five in response to growing urbanisation. The building was listed Grade II* accordingly. During the 1970s the building was reordered. A central staircase and lift shaft were built in the centre of the building, and extra floors constructed. This allows for greater use by the community. The Church Commissioners declared the building redundant in 1991, and half of the ground floor was licensed as a place of worship to allow the Church of England congregation to continue worship in the building.

Other spaces within the building are let to various charitable and commercial organisations. Some provide facilities for recreation with the objects of improving the conditions of life and social welfare of the inhabitants of Greater London. Gremio de Brixton, a Spanish Restaurant, occupies the Crypt. St Matthew’s Church congregation occupies half of the second floor. Carers 4 Carers, the Mayor of Lambeth’s Charity of the year in 2017, and Nubian Jak, the charity responsible for African and Caribbean War memorial on Windrush Square, both occupy offices on half of the second floor, alongside a brand communications agency.

Carbon reduction

Since 2014 the charitable company has used only 100% renewable electricity. It is constantly implementing measures to use less water and electricity, for instance by retrofitting LED lighting, and by increased use of occupancy sensors and timed switches. Heating throughout the building is electric, (except for the PCC's space which uses gas). The building has a high 'thermal mass' and has been slow to heat in the winter when unoccupied.

Living wage

The charitable company has been an accredited living wage employer since 2018, paying all staff and contractors a London Living Wage, as calculated by the Living Wage Foundation.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Financial review

The Statement of Financial Activities set out on page 7 of the financial statements shows how the charitable company’s incoming resources have been expended in the year ended 31 December 2021.

Total incoming resources amounted to £162,673 (2020: £270,311). Resources expended amounted to £218,284 (2020: £245,863) on charitable activities. The resulting deficit for the year was £55,611 (2020: surplus of £24,448).

The Balance Sheet set out on page 8 of the financial statements shows the financial position of the charitable company at 31 December 2021.

No further monies were committed to leasehold improvements during the year. After deducting the charge for depreciation, the net book value of fixed assets amounted to £41,219 (2020: £48,050).

The current assets and current liabilities amounted to £70,748 (2020: £141,388) and £103,278 (2020: £125,138) respectively. The net assets amounted to £8,689 (2020: £64,300), which are represented entirely by a surplus on the unrestricted funds of £8,689 (2020: £64,300).

In 2012, the Trustees stated that there was a significant uncertainty about the ability of the charitable company to continue as a going concern. Nine years on, the Trustees are now confident about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. Government grants have allowed the charitable company to remain solvent throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and the charitable company is now well placed to welcome new tenants and visitors.

Notwithstanding this, the Trustees have considered future cash flows, its tenants and activities which continue to become more established in the building. In view of the steps taken, they consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Reserves policy

The charitable company does not have any free reserves as at 31 December 2021. The charitable company's long term reserves policy is to regain enough reserves to cover unexpected needs.

Risk factors

The Board of Trustees is aware of its responsibility to ensure that the major risks to which the charity is exposed are identified and to establish systems to mitigate those risks. Trustees continue to review controls and systems, to mitigate any current and future external and internal risks that the charitable company might face.

Future plans

The Trustees plan to continue to let the building's offices and spaces to a mix of charities, social enterprises and commercial tenants, and to use the rent payments to repair and maintain the historic building.

Fundraising statement

The charitable company did not fundraise during the year.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

The Trustees, who are also the directors of St Matthew's Church Brixton PCC Building Management Charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemptions.

The Trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF ST MATTHEW'S CHURCH BRIXTON PCC BUILDING MANAGEMENT CHARITY

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of St Matthew's Church Brixton PCC Building Management Charity (the charitable company) for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charitable company’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement - matter of emphasis

In carrying out my examination, I have considered the adequacy of the disclosures made in note 1 to the financial statements concerning the charitable company's ability to continue as going concern. At 31 December 2021, the charitable company had net current liabilities of £32,530, predominately as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic affecting the ability of tenants to pay their rental obligations. The Trustees have taken active steps to cut costs, access government reliefs, obtain financial support and find new tenants in order to continue operating. However, if new tenants are not secured and the Trustees are unable to obtain further financial support from other sources, these conditions would indicate the existence of a material uncertainty about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result in the charitable company is unable to continue as a going concern.

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

ST MATTHEW'S CHURCH BRIXTON PCC BUILDING MANAGEMENT CHARITY

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT (CONTINUED)

TO THE TRUSTEES OF ST MATTHEW'S CHURCH BRIXTON PCC BUILDING MANAGEMENT CHARITY

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.

Use of this report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My independent examination work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charitable company’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s trustees as a body, for my independent examination work , for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

St Matthew's Church Brixton PCC Building Management Charity is a company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. In the event of the charitable company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charitable company. St Matthew's is also a registered charity in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. The registered office is St Matthew's Church, Brixton Hill, London, SW2 1JF. The nature of the charitable company's operations and principal activities are set out in the Trustees' Annual Report.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charitable company's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)". The charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charitable company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At 31 December 2021, St Matthew's had net current liabilities of £32,530, predominately as a result of tenants' inability to cover their rental obligations during the Coronavirus pandemic, which has had a significant financial impact on incoming resources and the financial viability of the charitable company.

In order to enable the charitable company to meet its obligations as they fall due, the Trustees have reacted quickly to the ever-changing situation and taken active steps to cut costs, access government reliefs, obtain financial support and find new tenants in order to continue operating.

If new tenants are not secured and the Trustees are unable to obtain further financial support from other sources, these conditions would indicate the existence of a material uncertainty about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Notwithstanding this, the Trustees have considered the future cash flows and in view of the steps taken as set out above, they consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Income

All incoming resources are recognised when the charitable company is legally entitled to them, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Income from government grants, is recognised when the charitable company has entitlement to the funds and any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Rent receivable is stated net of VAT.

Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.

1.5 Expenditure

Resources expended are included in the statement of financial activities on an accruals basis.

Expenditure on charitable activities comprises expenses incurred in pursuance of the charitable company's principal activities.

Governance and support costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities, are those incurred in the governance of the charitable company and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Hub equipment 7 years on a straight line basis Leasehold land and buildings 10 years on a straight line basis Other fixtures, fittings and equipment 25% per annum on a reducing basis

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charitable company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the charitable company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include deposits held at call with banks.

1.9 Financial instruments

The charitable company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charitable company's balance sheet when the charitable company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charitable company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.10 Taxation

No liability arises as the charitable company's charitable activities are exempt from corporation tax.

1.11 Employee benefits
