The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing documents, the Charities Act 2011 and ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’, published in October 2019.

Trustees of the Charity

The directors of the charitable company are its trustees for the purposes of charity law. Details of the trustees who have served during the year and since the year end can be found on page 3.

OBJECTS AND ACTIVITIES

The principal object of the charity is the advancement of the Christian faith. Others are:

  2. To educate and assist young people, through their leisure time activities, so as to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities.

  3. To advance education in family life, marriage and family relationships.

  4. To advance Christian religious education and training.

The trustees regularly review the objectives and activities of the charity and, as part of this review, they have considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and, in particular, its supplementary guidance on the advancement of religion for the public benefit.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The charity operates a local church and carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The trustees consider that the activities, as summarised below, provide benefit both to active members of the church and to the wider community.

During the year under review, the main areas of progress and achievement included:

  1. Ongoing participation in the national ‘Alpha’ evangelism/outreach initiatives.

  2. The granting of loans and gifts to individuals in need and other charitable organisations with similar objectives.

  3. Continued development of children’s work, teenage/youth work and student initiatives.

  4. Arranging, assisting and supporting church members in attending various conferences and training events.

  5. Continued expansion and development of the basic pastoral/care network.

  6. Ongoing work towards multi-cultural integration across the church.

  7. Supporting church leaders to undertake apostolic ministry and overseas mission trips.

  8. Supporting church leaders overseas to develop their Christian ministries.

  9. Engaging with local communities through social action projects.

The trustees extend their thanks to the many volunteers who provide services to the church including supervision of children’s work and other groups, Sunday morning hosting and administrative support, and remain satisfied with the overall outcome, in terms of meeting the charity’s stated objectives.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

General unrestricted income reduced by 10% from £214,705 in 2022/2023 to £192,776 in 2023/2024.

Overall, the Statement of Financial Activities reflects net incoming resources for the year ended 31 March 2024 of £113,387, compared with net incoming resources of £24,693 in the previous year to 31 March 2023.

Closing net assets at 31 March 2024 amounted to £270,328 (31.03.23: £156,941) including bank and cash balances of £120,426 (31.03.23: £151,898). Of the net assets at 31 March 2024 some £6,184 was restricted (31.03.23: £16,648) and £11,418 was designated by the trustees (31.03.23: £32,815).

The trustees consider the overall financial position and state of affairs of the charity to be satisfactory at the present time and remain optimistic as regards the future in terms of the church fulfilling its growth and other objectives.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) General Information and Basis of Preparation

Jubilee Church Teesside is a private company limited by guarantee registered in England. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given on the charity information page on page 3 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are the operation of a local church.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling which is the functional currency of the charity, and rounded to the nearest pound.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

(b) Income Recognition

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to income, there is sufficient certainty of receipt and it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

Grants and Donations

Where donors specify that grants or donations are for a particular restricted purpose, which does not amount to pre-conditions regarding entitlement, the income is included in incoming reserves within restricted funds when received.

(c) Resources Expended

Resources expended are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, inclusive of VAT. Individual costs are allocated between the various headings in the Statement of Financial Activities by reference to the underlying nature or reason for which those costs were incurred, on an estimated percentage basis.

(d) Unrestricted and Restricted Funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for a particular purpose. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to these financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

(e) Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised and depreciated at the following rates using the straight-line method:

Freehold property – 2% per annum (from date of owner-occupation 1 September 2023) Furniture and equipment – 25% per annum

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( Continued )

(f) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

(g) Cash at Bank and in Hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

(h) Creditors and Provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

(i) Pension Costs

Contributions, which are payable into the personal pension plans of individual members of staff, are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

(j) Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from the authorising of these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

2. LEGAL STATUS OF THE CHARITY

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £10.
