TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022
The directors/trustees present their Annual Report, along with the examined financial statements, for the year 1[st] October 2021 to 30[th] September 2022.
Objectives of the charity
These are set out fully in the Memorandum of Association of the company, but in brief are to:
-
advance the Christian faith;
-
relieve persons in conditions of need or hardship and those who are aged or sick;
-
advance education; and
-
promote and fulfil other charitable purposes beneficial to the community.
To fulfil these objectives Cabin Lane Church carries out activities, both directly and indirectly through other partner organisations, locally in the county of Shropshire and in the UK or the world as the trustees may from time to time see fit. Details of resources expended on these activities are given in the Statement of Financial Activities. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (effective January 2019) in preparing this report.
Our ability to fulfil these objectives is related to the resources that we have available. These include participants in our activities, finances, equipment and property. Our strategies for fulfilling the objectives are set out in our vision statement.
Vision
The main point of our vision is to enable people to find fullness of life in Christ, and to do that by ‘building community, living with passion, and making an impact – for Jesus’ as we:
-
place ourselves under the headship of Christ
-
pray continually
-
preach the gospel
-
develop ministries and extend the Kingdom of God
-
love God, each other and our neighbours.
This has proved to be another challenging year in dealing with the reopening after ongoing Covid 19 pandemic. Jan and Steve Worthy continued to Pastor the church until April 2022 having given notice at the AGM in January that they felt it was time to move back into their international ministry. We thank them sincerely for all their leadership over the past 7and a half years. During this year three Trustees have stepped down. The Eldership, meet on regular bases to plan and deal with pressing matters, Finance Team, and full members meeting have been held during this financial year.
Advancing the Christian faith
Having our own building for the last twelve years has enabled the trustees to develop the churches role in the community, as a place of worship, and a community hub for other activities that reflect our Christian ethos. We are a community lead church in the Cabin Lane area of Eastern Oswestry. The building is well regarded and has remained open to all. The Sunday services continued throughout this year, with an average of forty adults each week attending. Our services were open, and enabled us to put our faith into practice through music, prayer, scripture, information, and

communion. We also meet together each month for a specific time of prayer and reflection. The church is affiliated member of the Baptist Association of HEBA, (Heart of England Baptist Association) Our Fellowship Groups had met, with some meeting face to face and others via zoom on line. Our monthly news and information brief ‘The Herald’ keep the members and any one visiting the church informed and encouraged. Cabin Land Church is also part of the 28 other Church Together group in the Oswestry area and support Christian events in the area. We have followed the advancement of the Christian faith through the churches financial support of The Wycliffe Bible Translators over many years in their work in publishing Christian material, for all people around the world impacting many millions. This has also been extended through our connection to Sat 7 in their broadcasting ministry.
Supporting those in need
The Café Life was back to its usual operating times and has seen growth in turnover, and footfall over the year, which has been encouraging. It remains relevant to the community, particularly through the mid-week meals for the over 65 and supporting mums and care groups. Saturday morning the café support the Park Runners. The cafe offers a warm hub, meeting place, relaxation, and quiet. We also secured a further Government grants for café from Shropshire Council in June totalling £2667 in supporting and developing this ministry. Additional garden benches, and a cover for added protection against the ‘summer weather was purchased. ‘Coffee and Chaos restarted in September ’21 for mothers, cares and young children. Our Pastoral care team supported members who are aged or sick and the community where we could, through meals cards, and visits. The building has been used by Moo Music and Baby Sensory, independent providers, by local council departments for family support groups, for birthday parties and other individual and community events at different periods during the financial year. These fulfilled many of the local needs. All managed by the church on a volunteer basis. The local Foodbank has been supported by gifts of food and money through different events. The Camera club met on the last Thursday of most months during this period. Our Cameo group restarted in October ’21 with reduced numbers but the same desire to offer a warm place for those lonely or who enjoy time together. The decision to reduce our Mission giving by 51% from December ’21 has been unchanged. We are looking to increase this as funds become available. Internationally the church financial supports and receives feedback from Mission Aviation Fellowship, International China Concern, and Hope Health Action. While at home Christians Against Poverty.
Advance education
Children’s work in the form of a Sunday Club started in the new year for 5 – 11 year olds and we have seen a steady growth in numbers. While our financial support for the Schools Christian Worker Project continued this was limited through the lockdown period. They re-established links within the Oswestry area in the educational environment and generating new project for junior and senior schools. We also financially support education via sponsorship in India.
Promote other charitable purposes beneficial to the community
The church garden continues to attract families when able, providing a safe and fun area particularly for the local after school children and families. We have introduced a walking group called Beer and Blisters which has been encouraging in organising local walks for the church and others as both fitness and relationship building time. There have been several other events held to encourage the community into the church building (wreath making, quiz nights, Christmas celebration). The jubilee party was held in the garden for the community when over 200 people attended. A tree was planted to commemorate the event. There is an interest in pursuing Eco

Church recognition with A Rocha UK, which will develop a ‘greener footprint’ and lesser environmental impact in the area.
Membership
As with so many other churches the membership has reduced due changes in family situations and stood at 40. The general congregation numbers have also reduced slightly.
The roof problem will be resolved at reasonable expense in October 2022, but more work will be required in the coming years.
The Land purchase progress has been slow and little progress has been made with Shropshire Council, in resolving the problem of a covenant on the land that would restrict its use, and the adoption of the existing unplanned path. Additional issues have come to light re the placement of the bus stop and the ownership of the strip of land along the church border fence. We still believe that the additional land would be strategically valuable, but not without resolving these issues. Funds remain ring-fenced to cover this project.
The Car Parking problem remains but due to lockdown and managing the use of the building differently, it has had a lesser effect but still requires long-term resolution.
Finance overview
The total turnover was £127,352 (covering the Café £57,056, Room Hire £9,795, restricted giving £7,624 and general giving £52,877) with total expenditure of £113,505 - wages, food, ministry costs, mortgage, repairs, and utilities being the main contributors. Financial pressures and administration situations meant that there would be a bigger pull on our reserves and resources over this year and proved to be very challenging up to April ‘22. Following the change in our leadership we have been able to make some saving and improve our reserve balance by £8,974, but are conscious of the higher inflation predictions for the coming year. We are conscious we need to work towards our Charity Commission reasonability to have sufficient reserves to cover three months key expenses which is in the region of £25,000. The generous support of the members has enabled us to set aside £5,800 to cover proposed improvements to our heating system. The mortgage change projected into 2022/23 could add substantial amounts to our monthly payments. We have also had to consider the increases in energy proposed in 2022 and have negotiated an extension to our Electricity rate but with a new supplier 1st October 2022 to September 2024. The volatility in the gas market has meant we have to build in a substantial increase in our rate from April 2023 which could dictate how and when we use the church facilities.
Safeguarding
All three remaining Trustees have been trained to level 2 and level 3 is being planned. The leadership post (Designated Person and DBS Verifier) have all been filled following some changes during the year. DBS checks have been done on all relevant people. Due to delays in setting up courses there will be opportunities for all the people within the church to have training in October 2022 to level 2.There were no safeguarding issues during this reporting period.
This year has been challenging for all of Cabin Lane Church but through our determined effort to keep the members, congregation, and community together through our Christion beliefs and out working, we trust that we will be stronger at the end and looking to a positive future in these difficult circumstances.

Structure, governance and management
Cabin Lane Church is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 29[th] October 1998 and registered on 26[th] January 1999. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company, and it is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 to any deficit.
Appointment of trustees
The elders of the church are appointed at an Annual General Meeting by election from within the membership of the church and are subject to re-election by the members every three years. Upon election as elders of the church, they also become trustees of the charity and directors of the company. In accordance with charitable and company law, they must be at least 18 years old and they must be eligible (not having been disqualified as a trustee and having declared themselves in writing as eligible). They can also be elected mid-year to fill a vacancy under article 34 of the Articles of Association, in which case they must be re-elected at the next AGM.
In view of the charity’s work with children and vulnerable people, all trustees are required to have a DBS check. They must also comply with the biblical requirements of a church elder: in brief, they must be respectable, honest, self-controlled, gentle and upright.
Induction and training of trustees
Through their membership of the church, newly appointed trustees will already be familiar with its charitable work, and they are provided with suitable material to give a background to the formalities of the company. The trustees are kept up to date by information from the ‘third sector’ press and by information and guidance from the Charity Commission and are provided with regular updates from various ministry leaders.
The trustees are aware that they must declare any conflicts of interest, and that they must avoid undertaking activities that might place the charity’s endowment, funds, grants or reputation at undue risk and use charitable funds and assets reasonably and only in furtherance of the charity’s objects.
Risk management
The trustees consider every proposed new activity, including consideration of the risks involved. This is followed up with the relevant activity/ministry leader.
The trustees are in the process of improving risk management, including reviewing the potential risks associated with existing activities.
Reserves policy
The trustees do not allocate any amount to free reserves for the church to hold in its general fund. The trustees set a surplus general budget. It is intended, as funds become available, to build up a reserve fund.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2022, which are set out on pages 8 to 16.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Incoming resources
Grants and donations are recognised when receivable, unless specified as covering a specific period, in which case they are apportioned accordingly.

The Whole Life Centre building was revalued on 17[th] October 2019 by Morris, Marshall & Pool at a market value of £385,000. Although the trustees feel the building is worth more than this, and its re-build cost would be substantially higher, they have adopted the market value in the accounts which would better reflect its saleable value. The building will be revalued every 5 years.
