Trustees' Annual Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
Objects of the charity
Our Charity's purposes as set out in the objects contained in the Declaration of Trust are :
-
a. to advance the Christian faith in accordance with our Statement of beliefs hereto in London and in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world.
-
b. 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 said London Borough of Newham and in other parts of the United Kingdom or the world.
-
c. to advance education by such means as the Trustees may consider appropriate.
-
d. to promote and fulfill such other charitable purposes beneficial to the community.
The aims of our charity are to preach the gospel in the city of London with an operational focus in the Borough of Newham. Our aims fully reflect the purposes that the charity was set up to further.
Ensuring Our Work Delivers Our Aims
We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This review looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people we are set up to help. The review also helps us ensure our aims, objectives and activities remained focused on our stated purposes. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
The Focus of Our Work
Our main objectives for the year continued to be the advancement of the Christian religion and the relief of poverty and sickness. The strategies we used to meet these objectives included:
-
Provision of Weekly Church Services on Sunday to minister to the physical, spiritual and material needs of the congregants.
-
Provision of Special Events and Meetings to meet the specific needs of target groups in the Church such as Men, Women, Youth and Children.
-
Focusing on the Material needs of certain members undergoing difficult financial situations.
-
Working with other Christian agencies and Churches in London to advance the preaching of the Gospel.
-
Provision of Pastoral Care for Congregants and other members of the community
-
Missionary and Outreach Work
-
Community building and youth work delivery
How Our Activities Deliver Public Benefit
Our main activities and who we try to help are described below. All our charitable activities focus on the advancement of the Christian religion and the relief of poverty and sickness.
Page 2
Hope Assembly Trustees' Annual Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
Who used and benefited from our Services?
Our Church Services are presented with both the regular congregant and the visitor or seeker in mind. We minister to the physical, mental and spiritual needs of the whole man in our services giving specific consideration to the seekers or new comers in our midst who may not necessarily have a church background and as such may not understand the processes and procedures of Christianity. We have also helped relieve poverty and hardship amongst both regular and irregular congregants who are suffering from a period of financial hardship due to unemployment and lack of financial resources. These activities are yet to take off.
Financial Review
The trustees approve an annual budget and give regular attention to financial results, variance from budgets and cash flow. Income was principally derived from the generous gifts and voluntary support of members of the church.
For the year, the charity's income (including recoveries of gift aid) was £55,524 (2020: £44,651) and its expenditure was £41,356 (2020: £41,407), which resulted in a surplus of £14,168 (2020: surplus of £3,244)
The trustees have considered the church’s current financial position and projections for the coming 12 months. The trustees are satisfied that the church is and will remain solvent through that period.
Principal Funding Sources
The principal funding sources for the charity are currently by way of Donations and Gifts from congregants through the offering basket passed during Church services and direct bank tranfers.
Reserves Policy
The Board of Trustees has examined the Charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be between 3 and 6 months of the expenditure.
The expenditure for Year ended 31st March, 2021 is £41,356 and therefore the targeted reserves should be between £10,339 and £20,678 in general funds. The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the charity and the trustees are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the current activities of the Charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. This general reserve policy has been met this year as against previous years.
Plans for Future Periods
The Charity plans continuing the activities outlined above in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory funding arrangements.
We will also continue to review our general processes, activities and staffing to ensure we are meeting the current needs of the church and, in so far as we can, the city.

The Charity and Covid-19
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on The Hope Assembly since the introduction of control measures in March 2020. The Charity has had to adapt its operating model and religious practices to cope with a physically dispersed congregation. These adjustments were most acute for our congregation, who are primarily from disadvantaged and low-income backgrounds, including millennials and senior citizens.
The effect of the pandemic has necessitated significant investment in digital insfrastructure to enable smooth running of church operations to meet congregational needs.
The implications on Church life have become most severe in the below areas:
a. Inability to physically visit congregation members at hospitals and those in care; b. Cancellation of face-to-face worship services, including weddings, festivals and funerals; c. Cancellation of missions and pilgrimages;
d. Deterioration in mental health and wellbeing of those in isolation, particulary elderly congregation members; e. Diminished sense of community and engagement with worship. As we begin to emerge from an extended period of sheltering and social distancing, there are residual concerns about attendance, engagement and income.
We have set out below interventions undertaken to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on worship, income and community engagement:
a. Provision of Hybrid Services: Church services, programs and teachings have been delivered online since restrictions were put in place by the government. However, during the period of relaxed restrictions, the charity operated with limited capacity and therefore continued to provide online services simultaneously. b. We broadcast from the church building and other locations using collaboration tools (Zoom) and social media platforms (Youtube, Facbook, Twitter and Instagram). c. Sensitization of church members on use of online platforms to make donations.

Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document
The Organisation is a charitable trust constituted under a trust deed on 24th of July 1998 and registered as a charity on 2nd November 1998. The charity was established under a Declaration of Trust which established the objects and powers of the charitable trust and is governed under its deed. In the event of the Trust wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.
Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles are known as trustees. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the the trustees are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting.
Due to the nature of Church work, trustees appointed have been selected on the basis of their faith, strength of character, skills set in the area of business management and growth and commitment to the vision of the charity.
Trustees Induction and Training
Most trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity. Additionally new trustees would be invited as required and encouraged to attend a series of short training sessions to familiarise themselves with the charity and the context within which it operates.

- The Obligations of Trustees
The Main documents which set out the operational framework for the charity including the Memorandum and Articles.
Resourcing and the current financial position as set out in the latest published accounts Future plans and objectives
A Question & Answer pack would be prepared which draws information from various Charity Commission publications signposted through the Commission's guide "the Essential Trustee" as a follow up to these sessions. This will be distributed to all new trustees along with the Memorandum and Articles and the latest financial statements.
Risk Statement
The trustees recognise the importance of assessing and managing risk associated with the charity's objectives. The process of identifying risk is on-going and is an essential part of the work of the trustees and management Team. The charity has a set of comprehensive policy and procedure documents in place to ensure on-going identification and management of foreseeable risks.
Financial risk is mitigated through the adoption of comprehensive budgeting and reporting processes. Policy documents relating to risk and compliance issues are reviewed and updated annually. Current policies include:

Organisation
Hope Assembly is governed by a Board of Trustees elected to serve the charity and run its affairs. Annually the Board reviews the range of skills it has available and uses its power of co-option to ensure that gaps are filled. There are a number of other criteria that a trustee must meet. The Board of Trustees are assisted by the Department leaders.
The Board of Trustees meet quarterly and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the Charity. A scheme of delegation is in place and day to day responsibility for the provision of the services rest with the Senior Pastor who is also the Chief Executive. He is ably assisted by an adminstration staff who implement day to day operations. The adminstrative team continue to develop their skills and working practices in line with good practice.
Responsibilities of the Trustees
Charity law 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 charitable trust as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and applications of resources, including income and and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees should follow best practice and:
o Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
o Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
o Prepare the financial statements on the on going basis unless it is in appropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enables them to ensure that the financial statements comply with Charity Acts of 2006 and 2011. The Trustees 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.

In accordance with charity law, as trustees, we certify that:
So far as we are aware, there is no relevant information of which the company's accountants are unaware; and as the directors of the company we have taken all steps that we ought to have taken in order to make ourselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the Charity's accountants are aware of that information.

Hope Assembly Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Hope Assembly for the Year Ended 31 March 2021

Responsibilities and basis of report

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

Hope Assessment Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021
1. Statutory Information
The Charity is a charitable organization governed by trust deed, registered in England and Wales. The Charity's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
2. Accounting Policies
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102"), with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.
The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
a). Going concern
The trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and/or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
b). Income
Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.
Income from donations and legacies includes:
i). Voluntary income is received by way of donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.
ii). Recoverable gift aid. This is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor. iii). Goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries are recognised as income when receivable at fair value (being an estimate of the amount it would cost to purchase those items).
The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities, particularly the work with the Charity. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured.
When donated goods are distributed an expense in respect of those items is included in the Statement of Financial Activities. At the year end any goods that have not been distributed are recognised as stock.
Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects. It includes income from retreats and other events and courses.
The charity has taken the view that it has only one charitable activity, namely the advancement of the Christian faith, and all income from donations, legacies and charitable activities is in respect of this one activity.
Page 11
Hope Assessbly
Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021
c). Expenditure
Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity.
The Charities SORP requires charities with income over £500,000 to allocate costs to the various activities undertaken by the charity. The nature of the work of the charity is considered to be so integrated that the core charitable activity costs are considered to be for the one activity.
Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with Constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.
d). Fund Accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.
e). Tangible Fixed assets
Fixed assets (excluding investments) are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The costs of minor additions or those costing below £1,000 are not capitalised. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful life, which in all cases is estimated at 4 years.
Investments held as fixed assets are revalued at mid market value at the blance sheet date and the gain or loss taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.
f). Stocks
Stocks of donated items held for distribution to beneficiaries are measured at fair value.
g). Presentation Currency
The accounts are presented in Pound Sterling
h). Pension Scheme arrangements
The charity does not operate any pension scheme for its employees.
i). Taxation
As a charity, Hope Assembly is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within Section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or s256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects. No tax charges have risen in the charity.
The organization is a charitable trust; it has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.
j). Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
The trustees do not consider that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period
