NEW LIFE CHURCH CARDIGAN TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2021
Trustees
The following trustees have served throughout the accounting period, there have been no new trustees and no trustee has resigned.
Douglas Bell Janice Bell Tom Taylor Jackie Taylor
Doug and Janice Bell are employed by the trust as agreed in the trust deed. Tom & Jackie Taylor give their time freely and none of the trustees claim expenses from the charity during the period concerned.
The everyday running of the charity has continued to be implemented by Doug & Janice Bell in agreement with the Trustees. They keep the Trustees updated on a regular basis and discuss any matters of variation with them.
The Trustees see each other most days during the week and Doug and Janice share with them what is going on, on a continual basis.
Church Activities
Church Services every Sunday. Except for three weeks due to governmental restrictions.
Livestreaming services every Sunday. This is a new venture for us, started during the lockdown and is proving very beneficial.
Weekly on line Zoom meetings for small groups and prayer meetings.
Foodbank continues to meet the need of those needing food parcels—this is an increasing work due to the demand for emergency help being needed. The food is donated through, churches, schools, supermarkets and individual donations.
Christmas Day - the church provided lunch for 100 people most of who came to the building, for others we delivered meals.
The Healing Rooms, mainly met through Zoom during this year because of government restrictions. The AA use one of the rooms each week free of charge for their meeting.
The building work to make the building suitable for our purposes, continues and should be completed 2022. The downstairs of the building is nearly finished and as we come out of restrictions being used more and more.
The work we do in Tanzania has had to stop during this time because of Covid restrictions on travel to that country. We have supported the work we do through Zoom meetings and sending finances so that the people there can carry on with the work of building the Education Centre in Dar es Salaam.
Finances
The funds for the work of the church come in through tithes, offerings and gifts and they are either given each week during the Sunday Service or through our online giving Pay Pal button on the website.
We received a grant from the Welsh Government to change the building from a supermarket into a place of worship and a place which could be used for various activities. This money was match funded by the church.
This work has carried on throughout the Covid under the guidance of the Welsh Governments restrictions for workplaces. We have now completed the grant requirements and the main part of the building is open for the church use and for visitors. We continue the work we do on a faith basis, where we trust God for our provision. However, we do keep in reserve the tax that is due from the Inland Revenue that we are entitled to claim against Covenanted gifts.
Risk Management
The trustees look to identify any risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place for reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
The Trustees do not perceive any major risks to the charity at this time.
Future Plans
Following what has been a challenging two years for the church, the Church has plans to open an Entertainment Centre in the loft of the building to create employment and volunteering opportunities for the community. Depending on Covid 19 restrictions.
As we move out of Covid restrictions we are looking to reach out to help our community in and creative ways.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2021
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021 which are set out on pages 7 to 17.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the charity’s trustees of New Life Church Cardigan Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of New Life Church Cardigan Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
Since New Life Church Cardigan Trust's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of New Life Church Cardigan Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting 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 accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year.
Basis of preparation:
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes. The 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 (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP - FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Cash Flow Statement
The company has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard No 1 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement.
Assessment of Going Concern
Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Recognition of Incoming Resources
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:
-
the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
-
the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and
-
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Incoming Resources with Related expenditure
Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA.
Grants and Donations
Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts
Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SOFA at the same time as the tax reclaim is received.
Contractual Income and Performance Related Grants
This is only included in the SOFA once the related goods or services has been delivered.
Gifts in Kind
Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as income receivable.
Volunteer Help
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts and is described in the Trustees' Report.
Donated Services and Facilities
These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Expenditure and Liabilities
Liability Recognition
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.
Governance Costs
Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of the trustees meetings and cost of any legal advise to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
Grants with Performance Conditions
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SOFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
Grants Payable without Performance Conditions
These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to a grant which remain in control of the charity.
Investments
Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at trustees' best estimate of market value.
Fixed Assets
Fixed Assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £1,500. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt.
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives. The rates applied are as follows:
General Equipment
25%
No depreciation is charged to freehold property as the property is maintained to such a standard that the estimated residual value is not less than cost.
There has been no change to the accounting polices (Variation rules and methods of accounting) since last year.
