TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Achievements and performance
2020 has been a year of challenge for the Kingfisher Family with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic with several members of the congregation, and some of our staff, contracting coronavirus. In-person services and activities were suspended for the majority of 2020. Throughout the Covid restrictions we continued to operate as best we could by providing online activities: Sunday morning services have been offered at both Tredworth and Westgate churches, and an evening service offered for the UK and Worldwide churches; we have maintained support group and regular payer meetings; and the pastors have remained in contact with congregations and supported our vulnerable members.
In addition, 2020 was a year of further growth in our International Ministry, building on the foundations laid by James in the previous years. Indeed, utilising online media has extended the reach of this ministry, and we were able to run several leadership conferences in India that have proved to be both popular and powerful.
The Financial Model is now well established, and it continues to provide solid Budget Forecasting and management processes for both churches and the International Family. The financial planning and reporting processes have been improved with refinements in cash flow forecasting. The Trustees now have enhanced financial visibility in key areas, which means we have improved our ability to make well-informed decisions, control expenditure, and to agree priorities.
The model has continued to provide the Trustees with clarity around in-year finances, and has enabled medium and long-term planning to continue to be undertaken with confidence. This has meant we have been able maintain reliable forecasts in year, make timely adjustments and once again deliver early forecasting for FY2021.
As part of our review of policies and procedures the Trustees concluded that we needed to look at investing in a packaged service that would help us to deliver the legal assurance of compliance in HR and Health & Safety regulations on an ongoing basis. In October the Trustees signed up to Citation to provide this service via their online Atlas platform. Further work will be required throughout 2021 to embed this in to our way of working.
Kingfisher Church and Treasure Seekers continue to enjoy a good relationship. The Social Enterprise (Treasure Seekers) used the Kingfisher Tredworth building for its discos and Performing Arts programme until suspension of these activities in March due to COVID. In return, Kingfisher Church used various rooms in the Treasure Seekers building in Westgate Street each Sunday for the services of Kingfisher Westgate. This is an arrangement that has benefitted both organisations, especially as many in the congregation of Kingfisher Westgate also access services that are provided by Treasure Seekers, and a number of Kingfisher church members volunteer at one or more of the support services Treasure Seekers provides in reaching out to vulnerable adults and those with mental health issues and personality disorders.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Kingfisher Tredworth
2020 started like any other year. We joined with a number of other local churches for prayer week, one evening being held at Kingfisher Tredworth, and all our groups restarted for the new term. At the time we were running a Toddler group, Twins and multiple births group, and a Saturday ‘Dads only’ toddler group. We also ran a weekday Little Fishes (Bible stories and songs for preschool age) that linked in to our Sunday Little Fishes. We ran School-age related youth groups: Fusion Tuesday our Primary school-aged group (linking in to our Sunday Fusion) and One Eighty Friday, our Secondary school-aged group (linking in to our Sunday One Eighty).
On Tuesdays we were running a Coffee morning for the community and this was attracting a diverse crosssection of people from seniors, mums and toddlers, and adults with learning disabilities. The building was also used as a meeting place for our food bank team, as well as one of our Connect groups. Once a month we ran a Saturday morning prayer meeting.
On Thursday evenings we ran Celebrate Recovery – a 12-step programme of support and accountability for anyone wanting to deal with a hurt, hang up or habit. It is part of the Celebrate Recovery UK Network, and was attracting people from outside of our church family.
In a typical week, Tredworth building was used at least 6 days and around 1,000 people cross the threshold in to God’s house. However, this all changed when the pandemic hit and the first national lockdown was called in mid-March 2020, and all in-person groups, ministries and services were suspended. Our part-time staff were placed on furlough and Ollie was furloughed part-time.
During Lockdown we adapted our way of being church:
-
We have streamed Online Sunday services at 10am and 6pm, and opened a Zoom meeting after the morning service for anyone wanting more face to face contact.
-
All our Connect groups started meeting on Zoom
-
One-Eighty daily care package was initiated from March to August, an online contact service to engage and maintain contact with teenagers offering a daily song, Bible verse, question, and comedy
-
Online socials were held in July and December
-
Online Prayer meetings happened each month
-
Our Music Team released a music project of new songs each month (Not Finished Yet), and have continued to put together music tracks for our online services
-
Increased our Social media presence - James and Ollie recording weekly updates to keep the church informed during the first lockdown
-
Joined in with our International Day of Prayer in June, joining with churches from around the world
-
During the first lockdown we took part on a citywide Food project in partnership with Root Coffee Shop and The Longtable - delivering meals to people in Tredworth
-
Vulnerable and shielding people in our church community were offered a shopping service
-
A new Library service was initiated delivering books to people that they could order via our church website
-
Phone support was offered to those not engaged in a Connect group
-
On August 23rd we reopened for in-person church at 10am on a Sunday in line with Covid guidance and restrictions - this ran for 10 weeks before the second lockdown.
-
During this time, we held a four week In person Enquirers course at church
-
We also hosted a support group called Crooked Crown Ministries (CCM) on a Tuesday Evening
-
In October we launched our Harvest appeal and took a huge amount of food and supplies to Gloucester Foodbank
-
Ollie has continued to maintain contact with other local churches, helping at monthly drive-in service events late summer/early Autumn and at Christmas. We supported a Burn 24/7 prayer and worship online event

Kingfisher Westgate
2020 has been dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had a major impact on Kingfisher Westgate church. In March we switched to providing online services and these have proved to be very successful, with many people tuning in, both ‘live’ and via our YouTube channel. Apart from a few weeks in the summer, it has not been possible for us to meet physically as a church, which has meant that we were not able to gather together for Easter or for Christmas services. However, following a thorough review and planning process, together with the production of a Covid Risk Assessment, we were able to open our doors for just 25 people each week over the period of July - August. We were not able to continue this, however, as the restrictions placed on public worship by the government were too restrictive to enable us to continue with meaningful services.
Our small groups (Connect) have continued in an online fashion and this has provided a vital sense of community for church members as have our WhatsApp prayer group, ensuring all pastoral needs in the church are covered in prayer. The children’s ministry, Action Pack, has continued each week, with excellent teaching and fun and games provided by our children’s leader, Bev Williams. This has happened each week online via Zoom, and has been a big hit with the growing number of children. In this way, they have remained connected to and excited about church.
Despite the difficulties imposed by the pandemic, the church has experienced growth, both in terms of welcoming visitors from around the world and also in terms of seeing new people expressing commitment to belonging to the church. We look forward to welcoming them in person when the church is able to resume physical services.
The meeting room for Kingfisher Westgate has now been completely redecorated ready for our physical return.

Kingfisher International Family
2020 has seen changes to our international ministry because of the pandemic. Whilst international travel has not been possible, we have taken the opportunity to connect more with people around the world via social media platforms. We have undertaken several leaders’ conferences with church leaders in the Punjab, India, and others are currently being planned for the Philippines.
The Harvest Appeal for 2019, in which we raised money to buy chickens to launch poultry farming in Zimbabwe, has continued to grow. Over 100 families have now been provided with chickens and those chickens are hatching, providing both food and an income. This is an absolute life-saver, particularly during this time of national lockdown in Zimbabwe.
The building projects mentioned in last year’s report relating to two buildings in Malawi and one in the Philippines have progressed well. The building in Pantay, Rio Chico (the Philippines) is now ready to be opened. It has been connected to mains electricity, and will be commissioned for use as soon as we are able to send a team out there. The leaders’ training college is already receiving students who are able to stay for an extended period of time in the accommodation blocks that have been built. The college also now has a library of books to help the students. The third project, the training centre/church building in Limbe near Blantyre, has been completed and has also had mains electricity installed.
We are currently pursuing the inclusion of a ministry in Panama, Central America, into Kingfisher Family and have undertaken to provide financial support for a husband and wife who have relocated to Beijing in China; this financial support is to last for 2 years, ending in December 2021. Our support extends to regularly praying for this couple as one of them takes up a full-time position in a social enterprise, and the other studies the language full time.
The Fellowship of the King group of churches in Spain has continued to require a large amount of input, including a visit in March of this year to restructure the leadership team. The Senior Pastor, who was appointed in 2019, proved to not be a good fit for the role and has since taken up a new role, still in the leadership team.
The Dumagat Education Programme has continued to flourish and grow. Because of the national lockdown in the Philippines, schools have been closed, meaning that the government has moved to a ‘modular, online’ method of teaching. This entails the printing out of material that has been made available online. To enable this to happen, Kingfisher Family has provided the finances to purchase two printers/photocopiers, one for Sibug Elementary school and one for the local High School. This has enabled many children to continue with their education despite the classrooms being shut.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Financial review
The outbreak of COVID-19, and the uncertainty that the pandemic brought for employment and support, affected all of our congregations. It is likely that this uncertainty will remain well in to 2021 and financial hardship may well be experienced by many.
Our Reserves policy is that we have an aspiration to build up a reserve for 3 months operations. However, this is managed in light of our faith statement that we must meet needs as they are presented, and donations are often made in light of this immediate need rather than the desire to build up a cash reserve. This year we have continued slowly to build up our reserves despite the COVID restrictions, mainly by prioritising key budget expenditure areas that we can pump prime for FY 2021.
As part of our bi-monthly Trustees Meetings, we have reviewed our actual revenue and expenditure against projections and budgets, and revised our cash flow forecasts for the year accordingly. In March, we revised our forecast with a worst-case scenario assuming that income would drop by 40% but we would maintain staff costs for a period. This indicated that we would need to review staffing in August to remain viable.
However, throughout COVID restrictions we have seen our level of income actually hold up, as the furlough scheme has enabled tithe donations to be maintained close to forecasted levels; tithe donations account for over 75% of our revenue and we had already planned for a 100% reduction in rental revenue for FY 2020 prior to COVID restrictions. Our expenditure has been greatly reduced as activities that we funded have stopped, use of the building has dropped thus reducing our utilities bills, and, most significantly, we made use of available Government furlough funding to allow us to retain staff at reduced net expenditure.
Throughout the COVID restrictions we have continued to provide online activities in line with our charitable objectives and we have continued to provide financial support to organisations via our tithe out process in line with our stated commitment. As we completed Q4 2020 the charity has a strong balance sheet and cash flow forecast, and we remain financially and operationally viable. With the extension of the Government furlough scheme in to 2021, we will remain viable into end Q1 2021; we will continue to revise our full FY 2021 forecasts in light of changes in lockdown policies, and this will include a full review of staff roles post-COVID restrictions.
The staff numbers for 2020 remained at 7 paid staff (3 full-time and 4 part-time).
The financial giving for 2020 was as follows:
Gross Income: £170,546 Expenditure: (£128,233) Net surplus/ deficit £42,313
Structure, governance and management
Kingfisher Church is an independent church with the stated object of reaching spiritually lost people of all ages and walks of life with the Christian Gospel, and seeing them transformed into fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. It was constituted by a Deed of Trust on 29 September 1999, with Deeds of Variation dated 8 November 1999, 15 March 2007 and 2 December 2018.
There are now two local church es in the UK that come within the charity: Kingfisher Tredworth and Kingfisher Westgate in the centre of Gloucester. Overseeing the churches is a Senior Pastor. Each local church has a pastor and elders. Each elder was selected by elders of that local church, this being the method established before the Trustees were appointed. In addition, the Senior Pastor oversees the Kingfisher International ministry with National Directors appointed in Malawi, India and The Philippines, and a Senior Pastor in Spain.
On the recommendation of the Senior Pastor, the Trustees Board invites people to serve as Trustees (up to nine in total) for an indefinite period of time. Trustees are confirmed in their position annually at the January Trustees Meeting (or first meeting of the calendar year). Trustees make staff appointments, agree annual budgets and approve exceptional expenditure items; they also decide upon the dispersal of the church tithe on behalf of the congregation.
The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the church is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
The trustees' r eport was approved by the Board of Trustees.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales 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 church and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the church for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the church and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the church and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF KINGFISHER CHURCH
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Kingfisher Church (the church) for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the church you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).
I report in respect of my examination of the church’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act . In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the church as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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 financial statements to be reached.

KINGFISHER CHURCH
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Kingfisher Church is limited by guarantee.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the church's [governing document], the Charities Act 2011 and "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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". The church is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the church . Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the church has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the church is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the church has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the church has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
1.5 Expenditure
Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis and are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity.

KINGFISHER CHURCH
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Land and buildings 1% straight line Fixtures, fittings & equipment 20% reducing balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the church reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) .
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.9 Financial instruments
The church has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the church 's balance sheet when the church becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

KINGFISHER CHURCH
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the church ’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the church’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
