## **EAST 13 CHRISTIAN TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023** 

**East 13 Christian Trust** operates a number of projects which are known as Plaistow Christian Fellowship and Cornerstone Cafe. 

## **Nature of Governance** 

East 13 Christian Trust Limited (Company Number 3537219) is registered with the Charity Commission (Charity No. 1069248).  The trustees and officers are listed below; a number of them are directors of the company, these are indicated in the list below.  The registered office is 408 Barking Road, London E13 8HJ. 

## **Objectives of the charity** 

1. To advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs, as stated in the Memorandum of Association, in the London Borough of Newham and in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the directors of the Charity (the trustees) may from time to time think fit; 

2. To relieve persons who are in conditions of need or hardship or who are aged or sick and to relieve the distress caused thereby in the London Borough of Newham and in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the trustees may from time to time think fit; 

3. To advance education in accordance with Christian principles by such means as the trustees may consider appropriate including by means of establishing and operating any educational establishment or establishments in the London Borough of Newham and in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the trustees may from time to time think fit; 

4. To promote and fulfil such other charitable purposes beneficial to the community in the London Borough of Newham and in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the trustees may from time to time think fit. 

The trustees have considered these objectives and believe that the Charity is fulfilling these objectives in its actions and activities. 

## **Activities of the Charity** 

## **Vision Statement** 

This has been summarised as “To make the Good News of Jesus known through our words, lives and actions.” 

## **Main activities during the year** 

• The day to day running of a church, Plaistow Christian Fellowship, which includes evangelism, community development and maintaining pastoral support of members. We also hold Sunday services including a Sunday School group for children, and special services at Christmas and Easter. 

We held a simple alternative to Hallowe’en event at Cornerstone. 

We repeated the format of “A Celebration of Christmas in Story and Song,” again successfully. Cornerstone was open on Good Friday for hot chocolate and hot cross buns, and then we joined with Memorial Community Church to celebrate Easter Day. We also supported the Night Shelter which was at Memorial Community Church on Sundays over the winter. 

• We continued to work on our vision as a church, with days away for the Liaison Group in October 22 and August 23.  The new vision statement is above. It has been broken down into specific aims in order to help us better assess our progress. The vision and aims are on the website.

• We continue to meet in the Swift Centre, and the church has continued to grow numerically. We worked our way through the book of Luke, in Sunday preaching and in our home group. Home group began meeting this year, initially once a week for blocks of 5-6 weeks. We hope to increase this. We introduced Pastoral Lists, with each member of the Liaison Group having a number of people to keep in touch with. We hope this ensures that no-one feels forgotten or ignored. In September we started a Brunch service, on the first Sunday of each month. We begin by eating a simple brunch together, followed by a short talk and questions or activities to be discussed around the table. We wanted to see whether this might be a service to which people could invite non-church friends or family. 

## **Cornerstone** 

• The Charity office and coffee shop at 408 Barking Road, London E13 8HJ, is known as Cornerstone and provides the Church and charity with a profile in the Borough. • In January 2023, after due process of application and interview, we appointed Kate Neal as Community Outreach Worker. She continues to be very effective in this role, based partly in Cornerstone. 

• The cafe opens from Wednesday to Friday each week, and continues to provide a warm welcome and safe space for many in the community. A number of other activities also take place. The Community Choir that was piloted previously is now a regular occurrence. Craft and Faith is a weekly group where people can bring their craft project or use the materials available, and discuss an aspect of faith, in a gentle, non-threatening way. A bi-weekly group for older teenagers takes place. Open Mic nights take place a few times a year. From November to March we offered, in cooperation with a local supporter, Warm Hours, a space for people to come and have free tea, cakes and conversation in a warm place. 

The Trustees have complied with the duty to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. 

## **Cornerstone redevelopment** 

Further to the last report of the trustees, the property that the charity uses at 408 Barking Road, London E13 9HJ (including the cafe premises known as Cornerstone) is to be redeveloped. Paul Henry Architects Ltd and DWD Consultancy guided the process of application to Newham Council’s Planning Dept, and in May 2023 an application was submitted. It was verified as received in June. The feedback we received guided our process with the architects and consultants. 

## **Future direction** 

The charity will continue to develop the activities in Cornerstone, and will continue to explore ways in which it can reach out into and to support the local community via any of the projects of the charity. The church leaders will continue to explore external funding to enable the work of the trust to be expanded through its projects to allow the trust to continue to grow and develop. At the same time the trust will via its other projects reach out into the local community. 

• Plaistow Christian Fellowship continues to work together with other churches to reach out into the community, to make the best use of the resources and talents which we all have. This includes joint services and events with our next door neighbour church, Memorial Community Church, with their minister Rev. Andrew Allcock. 

• The charity continues to look at new ways of working together with other organisations and churches to demonstrate the kingdom of God in Newham. 

## **Organisational Structure** 

The 4 leaders listed below, all of whom are members of the Charity, make the day-to-day decisions of Plaistow Christian Fellowship. The trustees make the major decisions regarding the funds of the charity. This would include the purchase or sale of major property assets and decisions with major funding implications, including staffing.

## **Risk Statement** 

The charity is not exposed to any major financial risk. 

## **Insurance** 

The Charity was fully insured and a schedule of the insurances will be considered at the AGM. 

## **Financial Review** 

Total income increased by over £37,000, including a grant to cover more than one year’s salary for the community worker.  Total expenditure rose by a similar figure, including employment costs from January, and professional fees on the Cafe planning application. The overall result for the year was a surplus of income over expenditure of £5,000.  There was a slight reduction of £300 in general reserves. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Charity does not hold significant reserves of money or assets. It has a bank balance that is regularly reviewed by the trustees, and year on year the income broadly matches expenditure. At the 31st August 2023 the general reserves of the charity stood at over £65,000. The general policy is to maintain free reserves of not less than £20,000, but at the moment additional amounts are held as required to sustain employent of the Community Worker and for the forthcoming building works. 

The charity is in the process of applying for grant funding for salaries and for building works. 

## **Accounts** 

These are prepared on the accruals basis under the historic cost convention in accordance with the Companies Act, as required by the governing documents of the Charity.  An independent person, not a trustee, prepared the accounts. The accounts are now eligible for independent examination under the Charities Act; requirements of Companies Act apply. The accounts comply with the requirements of the Companies Act.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF** 

## **EAST 13 CHRISTIAN TRUST** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity (who are also directors of the company for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the 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 Company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which give me cause to believe that: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the relevant accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). 

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.

## **EAST 13 CHRISTIAN TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023** 

## **1 Basis of Accounting** 

The 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 2019 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP(FRS102)), and with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and with the Charities Act 2011. 

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

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

## **2 Accounting policies** 

The following are the accounting policies which have been applied in dealing with material items:- 

## a) Recognition of income: 

Grants and donations are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: 

- the charity becomes entitled to the resources; 

- it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and 

- the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## b) Tax reclaims on donations and gifts: 

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be unrestricted income unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. 

## c) Settlement of insurance claims: 

Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met, and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. 

## d) Fundraising costs: 

Donations received via fundraising platforms (such as Justgiving) are shown net of fees.  Such fees are not material in the context of the trust. There are no other fundraising costs. 

## e) Liability recognition: 

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources, and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. 

## f) Funds: 

Unrestricted funds are donations and other income received or generated for the objects of the charity without specified purpose and are available for purposes as directed by the trustees. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside for a specific purpose.  Restricted funds are amounts received where the donor has specified the purpose for which it should be used. 

## g) Fixed assets and depreciation: 

Fixed assets acquired for use by the charity are capitalised and depreciated over their estimated useful life unless they cost less than £1,000 when they are written off on purchase. 

Depreciation periods are as follows: 

Freehold land Not depreciated Freehold buildings Over 50 years Equipment Between 3 and 7 years

## **Designated funds** 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside for a specific purpose. Movements in the year and the prior year for designated funds were as follows: 

The Hardship Fund (formerly called the Tithe Fund) is an unrestricted fund designated by the Trustees to allow for future expenditure on support of individuals or charities with objectives in line with the work of the church. 

After a change in banking arrangements, payments to Tear Fund were suspended, but the amounts previously sent as regular payments have been set aside up to 2018. Certain gifts of a one-off nature, mainly in 2017-18, have been designated for future support of youth work. 

## **Restricted funds** 

Restricted funds represent amounts received for specific purposes. 

Movements in the year and the prior year for restricted funds were as follows:
