CALVARY CHAPEL WESTMINSTER

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The day-to-day management including the implementation of strategy are approved by the Trustees Board and the spiritual side of the church's operation is delegated to the Elders Board, whose members are elected by the Pastor with the support of Board members.

Management of Risk

The Board of Trustees is committed to ensuring that the long-term health and survival of Calvary Chapel Westminster is maintained through an effective risk management framework. Strategic decisions are consequently taken in the context of risk exposure arising from the charity’s operations and the resources available to manage this.

CCW has developed risk-management tools to help ensure that we identify and manage key risks which could affect CCW’s ability to deliver and achieve its strategic charitable aims and objectives. This reduces uncertainty and allows the charity to be innovative and manage change effectively.

In addition to CCW risk register, CCW will also develop a supplementary project risk register to enable us to better identify, manage and mitigate the risks and facilitate a proper reporting procedure to the Trustees.

Accountability

The Board of Trustees has overall responsibility for establishing an effective system of internal controls, including overall risk management. This involves review and appraisal of our approach to risk through our assurance framework and oversight by the Board.

Their work is complemented by CCW Management Team, with a designated Safeguarding Officer who manage the safeguarding performance standards and quality of our operational services and projects. In practice, CCW records identifiable risks in the risk register and then assess them in terms of impact and record any actions taken to manage or mitigate the risk. We divide risks into two categories.

Strategic Risk

Strategic Risk
Risk Mitigating Factors
The ability to fund delivery of core
projects and overheads		 Ensuring the provision of support for beneficiaries to comply
with regulatory, legal, and funding (donor) compliance
requirements. CCW continues to oversee the planning,
monitoring, and managing each project activity. CCW
medium to long term focus is on monitoring core costs,
continually improving the quality of our services and
developing our management skills to improve our
effectiveness in delivering project activities.
Not Achieving financial sustainability in
the medium term		 The Trustees in conjunction with the Pastors manages CCW
finance to ensure we continue to meet the medium to long
term objectives, maintaining adequacy of reserves and
effective cash flow.

Operational Risk

Management of risk is embedded into our day-to-day business activities, and we have well-established processes and policies to handle this. Operational level risks are managed and reviewed quarterly by the Management Team.

There are comprehensive internal policies and quality assurance systems in place at CCW. To the best of our ability, we work to comply with regulations as well as aspiring to adopt best practice in our operations. These policies are subject to a rolling programme of review to ensure they are up to date and reflect service and practice development.

Trustees Indemnity Insurance

Calvary Chapel Westminster provides insurance to its trustees against liability in respect of action brought by third parties, subject to the conditions set out in the Charities Act. Such qualifying third-party indemnity insurance remains in force as of the date of approving the trustees annual report.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Calvary Chapel Westminster (CCW) is established as a fellowship of Christian Believers under the lordship of Jesus Christ. Our supreme desire is to know Christ and to conform to His image by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are not a denominational church, nor are we opposed to denominations as such, save for the over-emphasis of doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the Body of Christ. We believe that the only true basis of Christian fellowship is His (Agape) love, which is greater than any differences we possess and without which we have no right to regard ourselves as Christians

Public Benefit Statement

The main objective for which the charity is formed is for the advancement of the Christian faith. The Trustees confirm they have complied with their duty in section 4 of the 2006 Act to have due regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties. The charity rents a building for our fellowship services at a school in Westminster. The venue has additional meeting rooms for teaching of our young people.

As part of the Pastoral remit, the Pastors and Elders look after the spiritual wellbeing of the members at the main venue and provides services including weekly worship services, conducting baby dedications, wedding blessings, counselling as well as hospital and home visitations for all who require our services.

All Calvary Chapel Westminster activities are available to Christians and non-Christians, regular and non-regular members: there is no barrier to attendance. We have attracted the wider community to Calvary Chapel Westminster worship services, celebrating Christian festivals including Easter, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve services.

We regularly hold teaching services on Sunday morning and mid-week Bible studies on Wednesday. Live streaming of our Sunday morning teaching has made it available to a wider community. We currently provide the following services:

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

COVID 19 - March 2021

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the church was forced to suspend all face-to-face meetings. We had to resort to running majority of our family centred praise and worship sessions with parents and their children via Zoom. All church meetings (men and women ministry, Sundays, and Wednesdays’ teachings) have continued using social media (Zoom) and Sunday teachings are being broadcast via the internet. This year saw an increase in virtual attendance and participation in the activities of the ministry.

The government lifted all corona virus restrictions in the summer and the church started in-person worship services on 4th July 2021. We hold Sunday morning services at 11am and over the past year we continued our teaching series. This affords us an in-depth study to gain a true appreciation of the culture and history of the time, and therefore gaining a much better appreciation of the context in which the book was written.

CALVARY CHAPEL WESTMINSTER

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

We continue to upgrade our website and are now able to offer live streaming of all our Sunday morning messages. This we believe is a great asset to the church and is a valuable part of our outreach. We have also been able to set up our Facebook page, which we feel is of great benefit particularly to the members of our Youth who are at university. It provides access to our service transmissions and broadcasts and those unable to attend, enabling them to be part of the service on Sunday morning on a regular basis.

On Wednesday evenings, we hold a mid-week Bible study, which is conducted in the same manner as Sunday mornings via live stream. Our study of the books of the Bible provides the teaching for this meeting.

Safeguarding:

Safeguarding the employees, volunteers and the vulnerable in our fellowship, activities and within the communities in which we serve is of paramount importance and reflects the nature of Jesus Christ. To ensure that safeguarding is fully supported and maintained, policies and procedures have been developed and presented so that they are accessible and understood by all those that have a legitimate interest in the welfare of our children, young people, and vulnerable adults. We are mindful of the trust assigned to us when church members and friends commit to support us.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Funding for the year's activity was obtained from various sources as detailed on page 11. We are mindful of the trust assigned to us when church brothers and sisters commit to support us financially. It is important that we do not jeopardise this trust. Therefore, financial protocols and disciplines have been established, ensuring controls at all levels and an annual review process carried out. Discipline in process is critical to maintaining financial integrity which is foundational to encouraging the trust of our brothers and sisters.

We ended the year with a surplus of £19,358 (2020, surplus of £5,432). None of the income and funds received is specific to any specified project. As a result, all incomes are classified as unrestricted. The Trustee recognises the need to develop and implement a free reserves policy.

Reserve Policy

Calvary Chapel Westminster reserves policy is to maintain sufficient level of reserves to enable operating activities to continue, taking into account the potential risks and contingencies that may arise from time to time.

The trustees reviewed the charity's needs for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission and have set reserves at a level equivalent to three months running costs. This policy is reviewed annually

The trustees' annual report was approved on 12[th] December 2021 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

CALVARY CHAPEL WESTMINSTER

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2021

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is 33 Wilfred Street, London, SW1E 6PR, UK.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Disclosure exemptions

The entity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under paragraph 1.12 of FRS 102: (a) No cash flow statement has been presented for the company. (b) Disclosures in respect of financial instruments have not been presented.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets (continued)

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Equipment - 25% straight line

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the entity has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the entity will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position and the amount of the provision as an expense.

Provisions are initially measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date and subsequently reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the amount that would be required to settle the obligation. Any adjustments to the amounts previously recognised are recognised in income or expenditure unless the provision was originally recognised as part of the cost of an asset. When a provision is measured at the present value of the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in the statement of financial activities in the period it arises and is allocated to the appropriate expenditure heading.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
